"Excuse me. We have brought the brave men of Bordeaux."

That's what follows the knights who came into the room, the faces of the first mates I've seen in days. It's been a long time since I've been in a massive battle and my nervous body is losing strength as soon as I see their faces. Regardless of Rubias in the lead, Karin and Ciel felt like they were about to jump this way, but since there are also kings of the Kingdom of Strom and Mr. Flair, the brave Llumiere, in this room, they seem to have weighed themselves down right there.

"I'll see you first, Your Majesty. My name is Rubias. I am the one who names the brave men of Bordeaux. This is my people, Karin, Ciel, and Dieria. Stay tuned."

"Oh, this is... I came all the way here. Please forgive me for saying such a tough greeting."

"... Now excuse me"

The king laughed with a casual smile at Rubias, who knelt down and greeted him, and at Karin, who rushed to imitate him. Shortly after the battle, when you came into the city, you looked pretty rugged by the magnitude of the damage, but now you seem a little calm.... If my own people were slaughtered, I wouldn't be able to do it either.

"I heard you were being attacked by an army of demons and rushed... it seemed like you were wasting your legs"

"No, no, I would greatly appreciate just that feeling. And what would have happened without Lord Lapis and Lord Flair... thank you so much."

That said the king bowed his head deeply. Regardless of your identity, when you bow your head, you can honestly bow down - this is hard to do. This king is rare among the many people who take it for granted that a noble man of his stature should serve him.

"Words without body. We are going to stay in this country for a while, not necessarily without another demonic raid. Reinforcements should also be dispatched from my Kingdom of Bordeaux, so they will arrive soon."

"Thank you so much. There's no thanksgiving."

What do you do where reinforcements come from after the battle... and if you're an amateur with no connection to the battle, you might think, in fact, the military is a user-friendly group of sorts. Not only can it be used as a force for defending national territory, but also for removing debris, transporting injured people, and farming the desolate fields, and building simple buildings can be a treat. With so many people killed this time, the Kingdom of Strom will be put in a pretty tough situation, so reinforcements from other countries should really help. Of course, you'll be asked for something in return later.

After staying in the mansion for about an hour to keep Rubias and the rest of us, it would be annoying to the king who has a job if he talked to us forever, and we decided to leave the mansion and move to another city. The king was about to want me to stay like this, but I politely refused the request for a retainer because I don't feel like staying in a city long enough for people or food.

"This thank you is bound to happen sooner or later. Once again, I thank you on behalf of all the people. Thanks."

We left the mansion after the king dropped us off. Well, I was wondering which city I was going to head to, and Mr. Flair raised his hand to the lid.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we in Llumiere are going to return to our country."

"Huh."

I was surprised at the offer because I just thought it was exactly what I was going to go with. Mr. Flair smiles gently, as usual, and the sincerity of it is unlikely to be readable. You don't want to be with me anymore? But I don't feel like hating you... and what's the reason? You noticed me having such a brain meeting, Mr. Flair, explaining to me with a bitter smile.

"It doesn't make any deep sense. However, you are obliged to report your progress to your home country. I think I told Mr. Lapis that I was originally here as a messenger."

"Oh, you did, if you say so."

Surely they had come to ask for the preaching of Lumiel God and the building of the temple. You were telling me at dinner at the mansion that it was bad luck getting into the fight.

"Unconfirmed, but perhaps my Llumiere should be sending reinforcements as well, so we'll leave it to them to protect and rebuild. In the meantime I would like to return to the report and move for future measures."

"Really... then you say goodbye here. Stay well until the day I see you again. Thanks for your help this time."

Holding back my offered hand, Mr. Flair smiled gently.

"Thank you for your help. By the next time I see you, I will refine to catch up at least a little with the strength Mr. Lapis has shown me. Good luck."

Mr. Flair is a brave man, even if he seems to be lying around. Instant instant execution. Having finished their farewell greetings, they walk in a direction with a city gate without looking back. Distracted by the crowd who said soldiers and knights walking around busily, their appearance quickly became invisible.

"You're gone."

"But... I didn't know Lord Flair would defeat that Daytona or the devil clan we struggled with..."

"It feels like they're making a big difference."

"This... I may not be able to lose"

Looks like Rubias and the others are getting some good inspiration from Mr. Flair's fight. Technically, Mr. Flair and Rubias don't have that much of a difference in combat power. Then when I say why the Rubias and the others struggled with Daytona, I can only say that it is simply a difference in compatibility.

The sacred magic used by Mr. Flair seemed to affect almost all demons and monsters who were in this city, with the exception of that demonic lady named Lax, and that Daytona was no exception. Another big thing is that Rubias and the others have a healing magic user at their party who can heal their wounds instantly, except me. Although Rubias can be used for elementary healing magic, it's not enough to be guessed in action yet. The way Mr. Flair fought was to trust the rear guard clerics and literally let them cut meat and break bones. I think that's a pretty effective way to fight if that's a simple sharpening. Most likely, if the opponent has more healing magic than he or she has, he or she will not even be able to recover.

But - I think. To be honest, it may be better if you think about what you did first than comfort them in this situation.

"I'll see you in training when I get home. Everyone seems motivated, so let's be a little tough next time."

"I just want it!

"Oh, be gentle..."

"It's time to learn advanced magic. I'll try my best."

"... if we're all going to do it, shall I try?

Each one of them motivated me with their own words. This should make them stronger too.

After a half-destructed city, we looked around at a few cities with flying magic and decided on a relatively calm place to stay for a while. Though far from the city where it became a battlefield, it is not as far away from the border with Bordeaux - only a city in such a delicate position, with a slight nervousness for people, seems to be usually close.

The owner smiled and welcomed us as we walked into one of the several inns in the city as soon as possible. Anything, they said the guests who stayed until this morning pulled out the room at once and left the city.

"I was anxious to see if the inn was open, but you could easily get a room."

"The city has been lifted. It's a matter of dying and dying if the merchants stay trapped in the city somehow, and I think I left in a hurry."

I see, boulders are merchants. It's a good idea to try to make money under any circumstances. As he enters the large room and throws his luggage out, he throws himself on the bed so that each one can be sucked over. Rubias and the others were tired of traveling, and I was tired and nervous because of the battle that had taken me seriously for the first time in a long time, because by now I had been drowsy. It's still early for meal time, so it might be good enough to get some sleep. Looking to the side, Karin and Dieria are already getting some sleep, and Rubias and Ciel are getting laid.

"No one's going to storm this place..."

I decided to sleep like them, too, just in case the hostile approached me and set the line to react.

- Dutro point of view

I'm a dutro. King of the Strom kingdom. It was only a few days ago that the Demonic Army suddenly invaded our country, which was singing peace in whispers. When the nobles and soldiers of the province were dying and fighting madly, they could not even stop, and were unilaterally ravaged a third of the land, they were even prepared to perish. But God took his side, at that time in our country was the Virgin and the famous Lord Flair, the brave Llumiere. With her help, we might be able to repel the enemy somehow. But given the number and quality of soldiers, I was honestly prepared that it would be a tough fight. But the reinforcements, which I didn't even think were there, rushed me quickly. One girl with enough beauty to keep an eye on her - Lord Lapis - showed up. She says she has a more unreliable appearance than Lord Flair if it's just her appearance, but her combat ability even exceeds Lord Flair's.

I've heard stories, but they weren't very believable. But only a day after her rendezvous, I was able to change that perception a lot. Probably two demons with powerful powers who are the enemy's grand generals. I thought you said Lord Lapis was unharmed and overwhelmed the powerful demonic women. At first I doubted the report as to whether it was a false alarm or whether my ears had finally gone crazy because of the age, but apparently it was true because there were multiple testimonies by the soldiers.

Damn, I was surprised that there were some incredibly powerful people in the world. It is good to see that the Demonic Army, which has broken into the country because of them, has taken over the majority of them, making it impossible to act, which was no longer an organization. Later, with the help of reinforcements from other countries, we must destroy the survival of sporadic attacks and try to rebuild the country. I exhaled heavily that I would be busy from now on as I lay down in a bed where I could only stay a few days and get used to sleeping, and that's when I accidentally jumped up feeling the signs.

"... is anyone here?

"Oh, did you notice? The boulder is the king. You're not a normal soldier."

Slight moonlight leaking from closed curtains. That appearance, which seemed bonkers in the light of it, was not human. The alien horn that grew from the head - as if it were a reminder of a sheep - is something that never grows in humans. Woman. That's pretty strong, too.

(Demon Clan or... Is security sweet or is this guy's arm superior to allowing him to break in so far? Either way, you have to be ready.)

When I was younger, I had confidence in my arms there, but that meant comparing them only to general standards, which is equivalent to playing with children compared to Lord Flair and Lord Lapis. There can't be such a thing as a one-on-one win over the Demons. Taking the sword that was beside the bed, the eagle pulls out a slurry and confronts the demon clan.

"Oh? Don't you call for help?

"You're going to kill me as soon as I make a scene. Besides, I don't even think I can beat the Lord when I call for an escort. Then it's better to sacrifice less."

"I'm impressed. A boulder is a person in a position to bring a country together. I'll honestly lose my mind when I'm ready for that."

"I'm not happy that someone praised me for trying to kill you."

I don't want to move on and die, but I've lived seventy years, and I'm always ready to die just because my position is. That's just what happened today, and it's something else to make a scene about. The demon clan, who looked amused at the eagles that gradually increased their killing, showed them with their hands raised instead of being slashed. And the woman shall look niggardly against the eagle, who knows not her intentions, and is bewildered.

"Can you put your sword away for now? I'm not going to kill you here."

"... you can't believe it's high"

"Best of all. But if I care, your neck should be rolling on the floor by now. Don't you think there's a reason why I wouldn't do that?

The attitude of making a fool of herself hindered her, but she felt that there was no lie in what she was saying, so she unloaded the sword she had erected.

"Did you care to listen to me?

"Not at all. So? What the hell are you doing sneaking into my bedroom at this late hour?

"What, it's easy. I want you to form an alliance. between your country and my Lord - Apulia."

I just had to be stunned by those words I never imagined.
