"The Imperial Capital of the Kranzel Empire... this is undoubtedly one of the most robust cities in the world... Kuku, it must be safe here..."
Yes, there was a red-haired woman groaning and eating in the inn's dining room.
"... hey, are you sure you're okay with that customer? It's been like that forever....."
The innkeeper looks anxious to the suspicious guest who has been staying at the inn for days.
"I'm getting paid properly. Plus, it's an advance. You can't kick me out."
It is the owner of the store who returns it.
"That's true, but..."
"Haha, you're too worried."
"You're too optimistic. Or... maybe it's not because she's beautiful, is it?
"That's not true, is it?
"I wonder...."
"More than that, I've heard from customers..."
Did you see that the flag color was bad? The store owner changed the subject as if it was wazzy.
She was a maid with her eyebrows raised, but soon she would listen to her husband.
"Today, it seems that the magic cannon will finally be put into action."
"When I say magic cannon, is that the big idiot who built it at the castle gate? Fighting... means fighting another war with another country, doesn't it? Even though the Imperial Army is winning a series of matches, it's never going to be zero casualties... is he okay..."
In fact, one of the two sons is a soldier who belongs to the Imperial Army.
My son, who fought for his country, was proud of both of us, but he was still worried about my son.
"That's it, that magic cannon, it seems to be coming from here to the enemy. And you think you can destroy the city with one shot? It's going to be a time when armies don't have to go all the way to enemy countries to fight for their lives."
"Is that true?
"Oh, and that's it. They say the Empire is not against the country this time."
"It's not a country....? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
My husband said to his wife who leaned her neck.
"The opponent is a catastrophic monster. It seems to be the strongest undead who couldn't even defeat the heroic king of Romana."
In addition, the husband tells his wife the information he has heard from an acquaintance.
"Such monsters are on their way to this empire now."
"Is that... okay...?
"Hey, let's put the magic cannon into action for that. Enough to destroy a city far away? No matter what kind of monster it is, it will definitely kill instantly."
Hang on!
At that time the sound of something falling sounded, and the owner and his wife looked back aggressively.
"My, my, my, no-life, king..."?
A customer with red hair stood up and trembled with a giggle.
That sounded like she knocked down the chair.
"Oh, customers...?
"What's the matter...?
A frightened couple.
However, it seems that she could not hear the two voices, and left the cafeteria with a sloppy and insensitive step.
"Is he... here...? Why...?
Having left the inn, she was walking around the city.
Cancer.
I bump into the shoulder of a man who passes by.
But she didn't realize it and kept walking while staggering.
"Hey, hey, don't apologize for bumping into someone.
Unfortunately, a man came after me.
But she can't look back.
"Are you listening, hey!?
The annoyed man roughens her voice and grabs her shoulder.
The next moment, she finally looked back.
"... shut up. I'll kill you?"
"Hyi!?
Crashed killer.
That alone makes it impossible for a man to get into the field or stand up.
"Nh, nnh, nnh..."
The man understood in an instant.
Never sell this woman a fight.
The instinct was correct.
Her name is Estina, a platinum-class adventurer.
She left Romana to escape the fear of the Norlife King and arrived here in the Kranzelle Empire.
"No way, ah, you're chasing me...? To this Empire.....?
... it was actually just a coincidence, but as a result of the coincidence overlapping, it only seemed to her that way.
"But... in this empire... ah, it should be safe...?
It was in anticipation of the military power of this country, referred to as the best in the world, that the Adventurer Alliance was unavailable and, of course, could not afford to be asked to make money.
"Hmm!? What is this incredible magic...? Ah, is that it...?
Her gaze was on a cannon embedded in a huge castle wall.
"I see... that's the magic cannon I was talking about... what a magic cannon..."
Estina remembers the battle.
Even the platinum-class, who could fall into the most powerful category as a human being, could do nothing with that magic cannon in front of her.
She was saddened that the time had come for something beyond her control.
"With that weapon, my no-life king..."
Shuuuuuuuuuuu!
Skillfully manipulating a whip over a hundred metres in length, she climbed onto a nearby wall.
From there, I looked towards the direction of the magic cannon.
Then, far beyond the walls of the castle, there was a shadow of beans.
Her sight, separated from ordinary people, clearly captures her identity.
"No, it's him....!
There's no doubt about that characteristic white hair.
"Nh! The magic cannon will be released...!?
Feeling the sign, Estina stood up unexpectedly.
Shortly afterwards, an ultra-compressed magical ray was emitted looking at the no-life king approaching the Imperial Capital.
◇ ◇ ◇
I stopped when I saw a horribly huge wall in the distance.
"Is that the Empire?
"That's right...."
The answer is a mysterious man in a black costume.
It's probably because I ran this far with my arms around me, but I deserve it, so I can't help it.
"Are you sure this is the last time?
"Ah, ahh...."
"That's why I've been moved around so many times before?
"Ah... well, I'm... sorry about that... because of our mistake..."
The man answers with a trembling shake.
Since I entered the Empire here after the abducted Knight Girl, I have been turned around cities everywhere.
Every time I arrived in the city I was told, a new black costume appeared and I told the name of another city.
I have no idea who these people are or what their purpose was, but they're getting pretty harsh on me.
"No, she's definitely... in the Imperial Capital..."
"Where in the Imperial City?
"That's it....."
"You really don't know? If you were lying, you wouldn't understand.
"Hyeeeee! If so, I don't know where it is! But the Empress ordered it....!
"Empress...?
The Empress of the Empire took the Holy Knight Girl....?
What the hell was that for?
No, I can't tell from what I've been thinking about these times.
Anyway, I think we should go to the Empress.
When I hold a scared man again, I run towards the Imperial City.
"Hmm? What?
I noticed it as I ran towards the castle gate.
"Magic....?
I felt the magic from the walls.
I wondered what I was paying attention to, and incredibly, the walls began to move.
Some of the huge walls began to crack to the left and right.
And what appeared was another terribly huge "something."
It is difficult to understand from the front, but apparently it is shaped like a stick, and it slowly stretches toward us.
Looking closely, there is a circular hole in the tip, which may be closer to the cylinder than the rod.
There will still be ten kilometers at a distance.
Nevertheless, it seems that the enormous magic transmitted to my place has leaked out of it.
It was the next moment.
An ultra-compressed, pure, violent, destructive magic was released from the hole like a ray of light.
Besides, I'm right behind you.
Wouldn't this be enough magic to kill you?
I thought, but I remember holding a stranger by my side.
Anyway, he's gonna die like this.
It's pathetic to have been caught up with you.
And you have to help the Holy Knight Girl.
I couldn't die here now.
Like when I destroyed that magical vortex, I focused all my magic on my right fist.
No, it's more magical than it was then.
Then, I'll slam your fist into the magical light that is approaching at a fierce speed.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
