"Have you escaped..."

The moment I thought I'd definitely put a stop to it, the demonic woman who disappeared neglectfully from before me. He was a pretty strong demon clan with more power than Daytona fighting Mr. Flair, but he didn't think he had enough power to use the magic of metastasis. I honestly can't believe there was such a concealed move.

"No, that... that felt a little different"

Just before it disappeared, I feel like I only used a little of my magic. Probably disappeared from this place using some item. That way I can also convince myself of the magic of a transfer that doesn't fit my strengths. Anyway, I wanted to make sure I had a hold of it because it would be a pretty tough opponent for other humans to fight, but if they got away with it, I had no choice. Let's wait for the next opportunity.

And now we need to focus on what's right in front of us.

I defeated two demons who I believe are enemy commanders. Later we have to deal with the demons and demons left in the city. I slowly lowered my altitude to join Mr. Flair waving under my eyes.

"Mr. Lapis, you're a boulder. I can't believe I overwhelmed that demon clan."

"I was surprised because I licked this one from the beginning. I let him get away with it, but Mr. Flair and the others are taking it down. It's better that way."

"Hehe. It would have been worth the effort if you'd told me that."

Forget to say it's a battlefield, and the two of us often laugh at each other. But soon we retightened our expressions, set up each weapon and backed each other up. The fighting enthusiasm, the unreasonable demons were pushing to surround us. You probably think it's bait or something.

"Then let's do our best to destroy the remaining enemies."

"Of course it is. We must defeat our enemies as soon as possible and reduce the number of people who sacrifice them."

I snort deeply at that word. Mr. Flair - He's a really amazing man to defeat a demonic race above himself with a combination of various elements. She'll still be strong from now on. I have a feeling about that. Sooner or later, just like Rubias and the others, it would be nice to have a day where we can fight shoulder to shoulder. With that in mind, I set up a weapon and kicked the ground to destroy the demons.

- Ciel point of view

We went south at full speed when we heard information that a demonic army had fallen into the Strom Kingdom. Keep giving it the highest speed as long as the magic lasts, and when it's about to run out of magic, heal it with a magic potion. The flavor of potion, which could never be said to be delicious, and the sudden increase or decrease in magic caused me to hold my flashing head with energy and arrive in the city of Sioux Four, where I was supposed to have amazing information in my ear.

"Lapis got ahead of you!?

"That's right. As soon as I heard the information, I didn't have to wait for you to arrive. I'm sure she'll be fine by herself, but you guys need to hurry up and follow her."

Neither did Alliance Master Creek tell us, nor did we take a lot of rest in the city of Suphore, and we let the southbound resume. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the Kingdom of Strom in just three days, a distance that would normally take a week even with flying magic. But...

"It's... it's the limit..."

"Me too..."

"To the boulder... I'm going to throw up..."

"I can't believe the ground is so grateful..."

Keep flying day and night, and when you get down to the ground, it's just mealtime. We were in brilliant condition for all of us to fall in, worthy of dedicating ourselves all night to travel. This isn't where we're going to fight, so I thought I'd stay overnight at some inn, but because of this situation, every city was getting very tight in and out of people and cities. It was explained at the entrance to the city that even if we were able to enter until we were safe, we would hardly be allowed to leave, so we decided we had no choice but to go wild. As soon as I laid down my watch order, I was surprised to find myself unconscious. The next morning, when I woke up with the morning sun, I saw a scene where Karin and the others seemed to wake up first playing flexible gymnastics. When you get up from the cloak and beyond, you hear the conversation of your friends.

"I guess I managed to get rid of just the lack of sleep. How's Rubias?

"I'm fine. My body still hurts."

"Because it's Nojuku. I can't help it all. Oh, did Ciel wake up too?

Beat your own cheeks with both hands in order to put live on your head that won't clamp you up in bed. You're feeling a little refreshed because of me, my head looks like it's finally my first decent activity.

"Morning, guys. You're early."

"Oh dear. Ciel was nice."

"I've been using magic. Anyway, a master would be tight on a normal human being."

"It's okay now. He's got a refreshing head, and he'll catch up with the Royal Army in a little while when he gets here."

Yes. We are obliged to fight on the front lines to protect people for what we are naming a brave party, but we cannot let our people - Lapis - fight alone more than that. I know that girl is strong. I also know that we are strong enough not to be enemies. Even so. If you find out your buddy is in a dangerous place by himself, you have to go to help him with anything. Fellow safety - because that's a priority no matter what you put down.

Thanks to his overnight sleep and recovery, his magic was completely restored, so he started moving again. When we found the big city, we found the footprints left by a large number of humans and carriages in its vicinity, so it wasn't that hard to find the Royal Army if we followed it. Apparently, the Royal Army is still stationed in a large city of smoke, and from above, many soldiers can be seen being chased by debris clearance and casualty rescue efforts. I think Lapis might be here. You lost your mind when you finally caught up with them, and I landed in their midst without thinking about it. Naturally, when we suddenly descend from the sky, we are surrounded by soldiers who were murderous.

"Who is it!

I can't help it because we're killing each other with the Demons, but it doesn't feel good to be able to poke a spear at you. But I don't really feel like a crisis. Because I knew Karin and Rubias would be the only ones who could cut through it. If you get attacked, you can get away with my magic. But that's when Rubias raises his voice with his hands up as he advances into public.

"No hostility! We are a brave party in the kingdom of Bordeaux! We rushed to support the Strom Kingdom! I want the person in charge to take over!

"Bordeaux's...? No way, Master Rubias?

"Was there someone who knew my face? You're right, my name is Rubias."

"Excuse me! Hey, lower your weapon! These guys are real."

Apparently, we've been able to avoid futile disputes. I'm glad Rubias is on my side. As soon as we find out we're a real brave party, the soldiers' attitude has just been reversed and very polite. While they were guiding us, I've been observing the city, but the damage seems pretty serious. It's hard to find a safe building first, and human, demonic, and demonic bodies are rolling all over the city. I guess it's proof that a pretty intense battle took place.

"To say that the army is stationed here, has the Demon Army withdrawn?

When Rubias, walking ahead, asked the soldier in the guide that question, he smiled with a slightly tired look and slowly shook his neck left and right.

"The demonic army that has broken into the country has almost been destroyed, rather than withdrawn…. Their main force stayed in the city, but thanks to the work of your companions, Lapis and Llumière's brave Flair, they succeeded in taking many of them."

"After all, the master was in this city!

"I can't believe there was even a Llumiere brave...... Lapis is here, and it's been an unfortunate situation for the enemy."

Lumiere's brave man I saw at dinner party before. From my daughter by the name of that flare, I definitely felt a sign that it wasn't a mess. I see, that girl...

Eventually we were led to a mansion. Around the mansion there are people with distinctly different knightly origins than ordinary soldiers, with strict guards and tough eyes on us as well. The knights smiled and lifted their guard when the soldiers they had guided approached them like that and heard something.

"You're the brave men of Bordeaux. Let me show you from here. This way, please."

It's a lot of physical security, but is there a Lapis here? Are you treating me like a guest because I helped open up the city? Before such a question of mine came out of my mouth, the knight in the guide spoke to me from himself.

"Actually, His Majesty the King is staying in this mansion. And Lapis and Flair are on guard."

"Really? Did His Majesty the King himself run for office? It would have been very comforting for you."

The knight nods cocklessly at Rubias's words.

"Of course it is. But... I was able to defeat the Demon Army because of the help of Lapis and Flair. We must not have been able to do this alone."

"Were the Lapis so active?

Are you glad your body is praised, Karin is asking you to embark on it. The knight was glaring at her body as surprised by her momentum like that.

"Yeah... First of all, that operation was devised by Lapis..."

Confused, the knight talks about what happened in this city. How Lapis was fighting while we were gone.

§ § §

When the knight told us about the battle, we were unknowingly loosening our powerful bodies with sighs. Even though Mr. Flair and the others were together, only a few of them stepped down in the middle of the enemy and defeated the enemy general on top of that? I know how strong you are, Lapis, but isn't that a little too unscrupulous? There will be as many strong as there are demons. Even if I didn't say I was on par with Lapis... if there were a bunch of demons out there with about half the power, I'd have fucked with boulders.

"You're still impotent, Lapis..."

"Right. But the flares that can keep up with it are amazing."

"The sacred magic of ruling the entire city under its influence… Apparently Lord Flair has more sacred power than the Great Cleric Class"

"I can't believe I couldn't cover you when it matters..."

As a companion, I feel sorry to have been away at a critical time. This would not have happened if I had returned from Wang Du as planned. I don't feel comfortable saying bad about Rubias's brothers and sisters, but it's all because of that Steed or whatever stupid prince you say. I just hated it, but I hated it even more because of this one.

"We have arrived. Your Majesty and Lapis and Flair are here in this room."

Looks like he arrived in the room of interest at some point while we were talking. You weren't so far apart, but it feels like we haven't seen each other in a long time... Lapis - I have to work as hard as I can right now on that girl who worked so hard on our behalf alone. As I secretly cemented such determination, the door in front of me was slowly opened by the knight.
