When we left the endless country, we were heading west.

The destination is Luva, the Imperial Capital of the Mira Empire.

After leaving the end of the country, I moved all the way west through the hills.

Then, after leaving the hilly area, I went out to a forested area that was not very deep.

According to the map, if you leave this forest, you'll be on the road leading to the Imperial City.

Cyrus on the second form of slay said.

Behind them was Munin, peeking at the map.

I was traveling on a horse used by the Allion Cavalry.

Munin could be in a state of rattan, but when he transformed, he was under a lot of load.

By the way, the wings are still out now.

It is a convenient wing for storing, but it is still fatiguing if it is stored all the way.

Munin stroked Slay softly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sleigh." It's tiring when both of you are on board, right? "

"Bloom"

An energetic reply.

I looked at my horse and Slay.

"Even with two people on board, he looks better than this guy."

”Bloo-bloo!”

"Fufu, you're reliable." Thank you, Mr. Sleigh. "

The size of the two horses is not very different.

But Slay is obviously more powerful than my horse.

Even the luggage is more Slay.

But the horse I'm riding right now is pretty good.

It feels big and powerful.

This horse was chosen by Cyrus from among the horses secured in the previous battle.

I chose the best horse, and the best.

And Slay was much more powerful than such a horse.

I don't know.

Slay looks like a horse, but he's not a regular horse in the first place.

By the way, Slay was praised,

"Pigny ~♪"

For some reason, Piggy Maru is happy to be with you.

... you've made a really good combination, these guys too.

The sky rises up to sunset.

The sardine cloud flows slowly.

Before we leave the forest, let's take a break.

"Do you want to move after dark?"

"...... I don't know. It's too obvious."

Speaking of which, I feel like it's been a secluded place for a long time.

I often acted discreetly before entering the demon band.

It's been a long time since I cared about people's eyes, but I'm totally used to it.

We prepared the camp and had dinner.

After dinner,

"Mi gugu... mi, mi ku ku ka!"

A gleaming munin with your hands on your cheeks.

"What is this" monkey "!?" What is it!? "

"I don't care what they say..."

There was a purple cream on the edge of the chief's mouth.

The colour is purple sweet potato.

In other words, it is a Montblanc cake made with purple potato cream.

It came out of a magic bag.

By the way, I had a good night with Tokuho-type tea yesterday.

So, today, I finally got some sweets that I couldn't wait for in Ceras.

It seems that Montblanc liked Munin quite a bit.

And Munin, she's already the so-called "accomplice" to this journey.

He even gave me my real name.

Sometimes he's a hero from another world.

I decided that I should know if it was Munin.

Such a munin approaches me on my knees.

"What's going on!?"

"... no, it's just like I ate it."

The outside world is overflowing with such sweet things right now, isn't it?

"Ah... this one isn't in circulation in general. My special sweetness. Somehow... once in a while, I act like I'm rewarding the Celas."

I hadn't talked about the magic bag yet.

Well, even if I explain it here...

Toka-san!

"Ah, ahhh..."

Munin already put his face close to my nose,

“Really amazing! That's an amazing talent! Please make it for Fugi next time!"

"I want to do that in the mountains... but I can hardly reproduce it"

Huh? Oh, is that so?

Explain that the ingredients are special.

... let's talk about the magic bag next time.

I don't know.

I think I always use this leather bag.

It is the person who made the cake who is talented.

It's not me.

It is the "someone" who gets praised.

"Pim, pim... pimm♪"

"Ham, ham... packy♪"

It is also popular with Piggy Maru and Sley.

Gaze at Ceras.

His eyes narrowed happily and he was dusty.

”Mug, mug♪... mug, mug... fufu... I'm happy...”

It had a subtle effect on her character.

Zii.....

Munin is pointing his finger at her desire...

I don't think you have to look so sweet.

Lord Munin, how are you doing?

"Is that one, ah, does it taste different...?"

Serrus is eating a typical chestnut Montblanc cake.

It seems that Munin is concerned about the taste of different colors.

Happy Cyrus takes out the fork.

I still have half of the cake left.

Seras carefully cut the edge of the cake.

Then, place your hands under the cake like a plate and offer each fork to Munin.

Would you like to eat it?

"Is that okay? No, I asked you a question in anticipation of that...... okay?"

A bitterly smiling cerus.

Here you go.

Well then, if you'll excuse me ─ ─

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The cake offered gnaws at the munin.

Mogu.

"Nnh, it's delicious...!" There's no regrets when the journey ends here! ”

No, that would be a problem.

"Thank you, Mr. Cyrus." Well then, you too-- okay, uh... here you go? "

Half of the Munin's purple potatoes are left.

In the same way, she offered a slice to Cyrus.

"Yes, ahhn"

"Ahhh... erm..."

Look at me, Seras.

You look embarrassed.

But I couldn't escape the unknown temptation of sweetness in front of me.

"I'm sorry... ahhh"

I felt as elegant as I could, and I ate it sparingly.

Hahahaha, the knight princess who tastes it.

"Nnh......"

A cerus with left and right hands attached to both cheeks.

The expression expresses emotion.

Too much to pass.

At a time like this, I feel that Cyrus has a strong cutie that matches his age.

No, well... I guess you're usually too grown-up.

"Hey? It's delicious, isn't it? So, uhhh... yes, Toka-san"

In the same way, Munin offers a purple potato cake.

"I'm used to eating, so you can eat the rest over there"

I don't remember eating that often.

However, compared to the Seras, it can be said that they are "used to eating".

It's not a lie.

"--No way. Look, Toka-san... yes, ahhn"

Ufufu, Munin smiles at the cake.

... and refuse with this air.

"I understand... hahaha"

Mogu.

”No, it's definitely delicious...... and so are you”

Huh!?

The movement of the cerus stopped.

Quite an interesting posture.

They were preparing to give me the rest of their cake by stabbing it in the fork.

"Ah... I'm so sorry..."

"Ah... I'm sorry, Mr. Cyrus... I came first." Fufufu...... Toka-san, would you stand up for me here, Seras-san? "

In the end, I also ate from Cyrus.

…………

The cream of chestnuts that aren't too sweet and the crispy sweet pie dough on the base... go together really well...



So, this is our trump card forbidding the curse of nullification.

Filling our bellies, we were surrounded by burning trees.

For once, a black curtain has been placed around it, making it difficult to see the wood burning fire.

Me, Piggy Maru, and Cyrus will be the first to notice if there's any sign of getting closer.

It's the same range as Toka-san's paralysis skill, right?

One of the reasons why I didn't accompany the Frenzied Emperor like that.

It was to test and shoot the curse once while we were in the endless land.

Activation successful.

At that time, nine black chains were released from Munin's arm and flew towards the subject.

On activation,

"Binding spell (Baju), liberation"

and the user must utter.

Incidentally, it is necessary to take a little "between" the "tie-up curse" and "release".

I tried it, but it didn't trigger in the fast mouth or in the chanting without taking any time.

In addition, the user must have the subject in view.

This is the same as my abnormal skill.

The released strand does not tie the subject as if it were a normal strand.

The strand disappears as it is sucked into the subject.

Then, a strand of light appeared once throughout the subject's body - it disappears again.

That seems to be the signal for "success".

Since it was the first time, the subject first used inorganics.

However, the approximate process and effect could be roughly estimated.

"If the target is not a God Clan, you can't try and shoot it."

It didn't happen like that.

Then, when I activated it, I held the Blue Dragon Stone in my hand.

When activated, I could see the pale light in my hand penetrating my arm.

The Azure Dragon Stone had disappeared after activation.

This will be one consumer.

But there's still plenty of room for numbers.

One of the test shots to be carried out in advance cannot be said to be a waste of time.

"It can't be from a very long distance... I need to close the distance to Vissis to some extent. And..."

Munin looks at me to make sure.

"You can't just get close, can you?"

"Yeah. Even though it's short, we need to finish the activation chant." Same skill as mine. Moreover, in the meantime, while keeping Viss within range, we must also protect the trigger, Munin. "

While stroking the slay in which Cyrus was prone,

If you keep the goddess within range, you'll need a shield.

"...... that's right."

No matter how many people do it.

Unexpected - that is, triggered from the unconscious.

I let my consciousness slip away.

The point was, it was a void.

In order to succeed, it is still necessary to create it.

"It depends on how far Vissis turns his head. I don't know Munin, but Cyrus--"

"I'm sorry." I've never met her in person and exchanged words..... "

”... you were...?”

But as I continue, Ceras.

"The cautious ones are cautious, the ambitious ones are ambitious..." said the princess, who knew each other. It also has the head to plot a plot. "

"If that princess says so, can you trust me?"

Erica's description of the figure -- in this case, it should be called a "statue of the gods" -- is also consistent with that.

Erica lived near Vissis for some time.

Erica told me a lot about Vissis before.

Quite a nonsense.

However, and the cerus add.

"There are some verses in which people other than the divine race, especially humans, are viewed as excessively subordinate creatures, and the out-of-person combat abilities of Vissis individuals may be combined with or obscured-"

"...... I still think it's the same as Erica's impression."

I keep my gaze down.

"If you're going to stomp your feet, you're going to be able to use it after all..."

God can't be done by a human.

It is impossible for a superior being to be threatened by a subordinate being.

That's how you've been living.

Even if it's my waste.

"It must have been the same this time, because it was the same until now."

Rules of thumb.

Precedent.

No, this is no different for humans.

"It must have been okay until now, so it must be okay from now on."

Therefore, a circle (void) is born.

And when I realized it, the scaffolding was already collapsing...

…………

If we're going to crush it--that's it.

However, the evil that is the only natural enemy of Vissis... "

Great Demon Emperor.

Perhaps its presence does not cut Vissis completely arrogant.

That there is a threat.

Even though I can't get through it.

If you change your mind...

The underlying evil is also the one that corrects Vissis' collar.

”... even though Erica said that it's like she's hiding herself normally”

Ah, and the Cerus who remembered something.

"Yeah... the princess also said that there were too many unexpected surfaces and hidden things on the front."

"Surprisingly, you're an actress..."

Probably.

The smile on your face--that fucking smile.

Just to remember, something cold and faint runs.

If you can distort that frustrating face with pain and remorse.

I thought it was worth the journey to forbid the curse.

Well, from the chanting that was used at the time of fixation... it seems that the forbidden spell was originally called the "original spell".

Well, that's true.

Forbidden - "Forbidden Curse" was named the goddess of shit.

Then it had a proper name.

Hmmm, the cerus is conceived in a way that makes it even more picturesque.

Perhaps the original spell is the original position in the casting spells and ceremonies that exist in this world.

"Anyway, it's me."

I look at Munin, sitting with one knee up.

"Whether or not I can crush the goddess with my abnormal state skill depends on your original spell... the curse is forbidden." Of course, I'll do my utmost to assist you so that you can put a curse to rest - Munin. "

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

Munin closed his eyes and, with a gentle smile, reached for the heart.

"In exchange for this life, I will definitely create a path to connect with you... a" path "for you to impart your abnormal state skills." For our--no, for all our future. "

It's not so much a question of determination.

I saw that you were ready.

…………

Normal.

"Don't say that!"

"Don't ruin your life!"

"Think about the people who are waiting!"

"No!? Everyone, make sure you get home safely!"

Just like that.

Maybe we should think about the rest.

That is correct.

Absolutely.

But the clothaga--

Once you know your readiness and the years that have passed since then.

You can't even say "right" halfway.

In my opinion, it is only a denial that I say "right" here.

Access to Munin.

And to the crosagas who have held their vengeance to this day.

I can't deny their accumulated "readiness".

Because it's not light.

Life is not a priority because it's so heavy you can't even imagine it.

So, say it.

I'm....

"I'll bet everything."

Yes - or even life.



A few days later, we entered Mira's Imperial Capital, Ruva.
