---- Miki Arakawa-Viewpoint ---

"Miki-san, it is a point where we will soon join. Ursuna is arriving earlier than expected."

"Yes, it seems we were the last."

Looking at the city of the planned point enlarged and projected on the screen while placing a tea cup containing the drinking tea, you can see that Ursna Army and Noah's main unit has set up a tent and is stationed at the outer edge Was.

But again, the Ursna army is not enough. The fact that the siege was about to be destroyed in the first match, as reported, may have worked.

"Get the ship close to the tent set up by Noah's headquarters, and we'll start a strategy meeting before we can start capturing the Imperial City."

"OK"

Shuichi and her Majesty Victoria came into Alice's CIC as she was preparing for tea with her ship stopped near a tent. His Majesty had something to ask, so his timing was just right.

"Thank you, Shuichi-san. That front line seems to have been quite difficult."

"Oh, it would have been terrible if the dragons didn't come to reinforcements. My direct squad wasn't damaged, but the Ursna army led by His Majesty was annihilated. Withdraw from the battlefield "

"I'm sorry."

His Majesty bows down and apologizes, but it can't be helped. Even if you go backwards, you still have enough strength to maintain security, so look forward to your cooperation in that area.

"I don't mind, Ursna has repelled 250,000 enemies. It's enough to create a strategically favorable situation, and that's enough. Do you know the words? "

"It's ghoul? I know ... what happened?"

Your complexion changes to my words. Last night, intelligence personnel infiltrating the Allied Army reported that the Caps Kingdom and the Rikul State were jointly studying a weapon named `` Ghoul '', but it was a weapon that should be watched so much. I wonder.

"A report from a subordinate lurking in the Allies seems to indicate that the Allies intend to put ghouls on the battlefield, but would you please let us know because we do not have any information on the ghoul weapon?"

"... Ghoul is not a weapon or weapon, it is a curse plague. Do they intend to destroy their country?"

Hearing His Majesty explains that the CIC freezes inside. To begin with, "Ghoul" is a kind of monster, and there is no mistake, but there is no intelligence at all, and there is no act of simply eating food. But… the “bait” is a problem, and Ghoul will attack to prey on all moving animals.

Ultimately, when bitten by ghouls, they become ghouls in the same way, that is, they become "infected."

"Is there a cure?"

"No. Either kill them all or hide them until Ghoul is annihilated by hunger."

Listening to His Majesty's explanation, he is angry at the Allied foolishness. There are nations in the world that have biological weapons, but there are no idiots that use things for which there is no cure. If a single ghoul is released, the damage will be magnified ... and there is still room for organized containment operations on this continent, which has been confused during the war. Would not.

"What would I say if I told Kouki this story ..."

"What did I do?"

Suddenly surprised at the voice heard from behind, Koki, with Kon-chan on his head, leaned his head and stared at me. Mazui, if this child had listened to the whole story, he would try to kill the Allied leaders with all his might. Did CIC personnel come to the same idea as me, in a different sense than before

I am frozen and watching her.

"Kou-chan, when have you been listening?"

"It's from the beginning. More than that, what should I do?"

I'm signaling to Shuichi-san by the eyes of Koki, who started thinking with her right index finger under her chin. Mr. Shuichi was able to accurately capture my intentions and traveled behind Kouki so that he could be seized at any time. Now, if Koki says, "I'm going to kill you, get your power suit ready," you just need to stay in the room until we're all settled.

Thinking of such a thing, Koki operated his terminal, confirmed something, and opened his mouth.

"Mr. Victoria, isn't it ok to learn Ghoul's weakness?"

"You know well, surely Ghoul's weakness is his head."

"Mr. Claire, please bring a map of the area around the Caps Kingdom. Satellite images would be nice if possible."

"Confirmed"

For some reason, Shuichi and Mr. Shuichi look at Koki, who began to give instructions in a familiar manner, and ask me a serious face when I look at her with a startling expression.

"Mom, can you make a thermonuclear weapon right away?"

"I can't do it, I can't even return to Hakone base because it's banned by the treaty."

"Seriously. The royal road of biohazard and pandemic descent is to burn off with nuclear weapons ... is it severe?"

What is my son saying, a royal road? Nuclear weapon? No, I wonder why Ghoul's weakness is that he knows "head". In retrospect, she knew the Giant Worm and the Elves in detail, but what methods would make it possible to learn more about the different worlds?

Did you bring any relics I don't know from the lunar site? I was skeptical about her son's behavior, and I saw Claire bring a satellite photo and spread it out on a desk.

"His Excellency, I have been waiting for you. This is the satellite image you requested."

"Thank you, and check that you sent the data to your device."

When I checked my terminal with Koki's words, I certainly received an email, so open it and check the contents. As I read through the contents, effective strategies, tactics, weapons, etc. for the ghoul were described with detailed explanations, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was exactly a solution. It wasn't an exaggeration, but ...

There was a problem.

"Kou-chan. I haven't done any experiments or exercises, but I don't know why I could describe it in detail anyway, but I don't know. But if the file name says" What if my mom made a zombie virus-Part 3 What ’s that !? ”

This is a good idea of what Koki usually sees about me. Let's talk to Alice once, and if she's kind, she'll probably correct my image that Koki has.

---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---

"Kou-chan. I haven't done any experiments or exercises, but I don't know why I could describe it in detail anyway, but I don't know. But if the file name says" What if my mom made a zombie virus-Part 3 What ’s that !? ”

No matter what you say, that's it. My mother will someday make a "zombie virus". Moreover, such systems are absolutely sure to cause a spill. To make it easier, the half-joking emergency manual was just used for the first time.

"Koki, what is this" zombie "? Some code name?"

Macho who read the data silently asks a question, but I think that even if I teach the concept of zombies, I can not understand my brain muscles, so I will teach you something appropriate like that.

"Yes, I call a zombie virus a virus that can mutate and have an explosive infectivity, and a creature infected with the virus is a zombie."

"His Excellency, this file says Part 3 ... Is there anything else?"

"Of course there is. It's up to part 27 in total and we assume various situations."

Claire is losing her words and looking at me. Huh, I didn't waste my life after reincarnation. He's far from a genius mother and a macho in terms of military affairs, but he's made full use of his previous life's knowledge to prepare for this. Isn't this the first time that my mother is really useful?

By the way, I think that it is a stupid thing to stand in a supermarket etc. in survival assuming anti-zombies. The best thing is a home improvement store, which has all the tools and tools you need to keep things up, such as tools and sandbags, and you can survive eating foods like cup noodles or worst dock food.

"Even so, it's very detailed. I know that you can't hear it alone, don't go for confirmation alone, but what is this" prohibit using a helicopter when escaping. " ? "

"Because it crashes"

Macho is puzzled by my response, but the helicopter he uses to escape will crash. Even if there is no clear reason, it is forbidden to use because the engine crashes for some unknown reason.

It also states, "Be careful when entering underground passages," and "Always make sure that one of your squad members should be wary of the rear." Ask the machos to check. At the moment, the priority is to capture the Imperial City 100 km away, as long as there is no other movement at all.

"Well, let's set up a slow countermeasure for zombies later, and now we will capture the Imperial City quickly."

"'Saku' is Ko-chan ... Is the Imperial Army having a good defense against iron walls? It won't be that easy."

"Okay, if my strategy goes well, no one can hurt the Imperial City quickly without hurt. I'd like everyone to cooperate with that, huh?"

Despite my mother's questions, I tell everyone in the CIC about an operation I thought of last night. At first I heard them stunned, but as I talked in detail, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"Koki, you're really ridiculous, but if you succeed, it's pretty interesting."

"Okay, then the concubine will change the dress.

Noah's Chief of Military, Macho, and one of the parties, Victoria, were given permission, so the strategy was officially adopted, and the question was how far my courage could follow the strategy. Yeah. Everyone in the Allied Army should be watching my every move, I can't be ashamed.

I asked Claire for a cup of coffee to get her up, and then decided to go to the bathroom to keep it from leaking during the operation.

---- Knights of the Imperial Guard Joachim Viewpoint ----

In the evening, as the Allies approached the imperial capital, we were waiting for the enemy outside the robust gate. The soldiers who don't know the details are optimistic that the dwarf sub race is the other party, but I can't help but get rid of my bad feelings. As I calmed down by touching the scarf wrapped around my neck that was given before my wife, I saw a huge object approaching from the front.

"Yumitai! Prepare!"

In response to my instructions, the bow squad deployed to the rear prepares to release the arrow at any time. The giant object stopped a sufficient distance from the castle gate, feeling the throat sticking under tension.

"Are you not attacking?"

When I muttered such a solitude, I knew that a black and white dragon was falling from the sky. No doubt ... the dragons are Marvelous and Lilin, and the rumors that they are still working with the Allies were true! Can we survive against the legendary monster that even the former hero could not defeat?

Looking to the side, the soldiers who were optimistic were shown off and turned pale. But something weird, an absolutely lucrative dragon won't attack.

"Are they afraid of us?"

The deputy asks a question, but that is definitely not possible. Thinking about the mysterious behavior of the dragon, I saw two people coming out of a huge object and walking gently towards it. And the dragon starts moving slowly, as if to match the pace of the two.

"Notify the entire army! Never attack, it's something strange"

I give directions again and observe the two coming. One was a beautiful woman dressed in glamor, while the other was foreign. No, it's unusual when a beautiful woman is on the battlefield ... the other is dressed like a military uniform, but obviously a boy. A young boy, 16.7, comes with a beauty and a dragon.

The boy opened his mouth when he approached our 10-mel, who was in the front row, as if he was taking a walk.

"Thank you, well-dressed knight. Are you the commander of this miscellaneous soldier?"

While being overwhelmed by the intimidation of a boy pointing at me and asking a question, she replies with a voice that seems to quiver.

"That's right. Who are you? Allied forces?"

"Graaaaaaaaaaaa! How are you talking to your Majesty!"

Marvelous, who hadn't groaned in response to me before, rages and attacks. The soldiers who saw the figure fired a bow all at once, but this time Lilin just swung his tail, a strong magic barrier appeared, and all the arrows were bounced back.

Looking at the Marvelous approaching in front of me, feeling despair and fear, a quiet voice emanating from the boy's mouth, uttering no emotion at all.

"Stop, Marvelous"

"But! Insult your Majesty."

"Marvelous, I said," Stop. There is no second time. "

In the boy's Command, Marvelous hangs his head and puts his chin on the ground. Seeing that the monstrous monster that destroyed many nations was submitting to the boy, I was almost fainted. A joke? The boy in front of you can follow Marvelous ...

"Demon"

The moment that Potully and I stared at the boy and spilled such words, Marvelous again began to burn anger flames in his eyes and attack. However, as he lifted his head off the ground, the boy shook his left arm with a light gesture. That alone, Marvelous disappeared from my sight in an instant.

When he was confused without knowing what had happened, he heard Dung and something heavy falling in the distance. When you look at the terrifying sound, you will see Marvelous lying down without any prickling.

"I guess Kudzu says it's not the second time. Ririn, have you died?"

"Isn't it supposed to die because it's a superior species? Is it OK for your Majesty, your hand? I did it even if my Majesty did not do anything."

Unexpectedly, humanized Lilin rubs the boy's hand with a worried expression, but is this boy who blew Marvelous! ? A legendary dragon with just one blow? When he was stunned, unable to follow what happened in front of him, the boy smiled as if nothing had happened and uttered his "request."

"I want to talk to the king of your country. If you refuse, at that point you will launch a total attack on the imperial capital ... Is the city war involving the people disastrous?"

Inferior! Are you going to take the people hostage! ? But the boy clearly said, "King," and had appointed His Majesty, not Lord Dorne. Do you know the situation of our country? I ask the boy only once to make sure he is okay.

"Isn't it good with His Majesty, not Lord Dorne?"

"Yes, I want to talk to the king."

I still watch the boy answering questions, smiling. Looking at her absolute confidence, she couldn't help but recall the hope that a boy would change this country.

After the sun had fallen completely, a subordinate who had been running in the castle as a messenger confirmed his intention and returned to the front. The result was probably good because it was dark and invisible but had a bright face. When he came close to me, the subordinate saluted and began talking.

"Grandmaster! It seems that your Majesty will meet you."

"Yes, Lord Dorne?"

"He's with you too."

The discussion seems to be intense when Lord Dorne comes together, but I think that a boy who had been talking for a while while the messenger was running in the castle His Majesty Majesty will be able to handle it. I talk to the beloved beauty and the genie drinking tea on the dragonized Lilin.

"Your Majesty, Majesty Carl will meet you."

"Ok, Lilin, let me down."

At the same time as the genie descends on the ground, Lilin humanizes again and snuggles up next to it. After confirming his appearance, he called in a carriage to carry the three to the castle, and the knights, which report directly to Lord Dorne, came along with the carriage.

What are they doing for? One of them came forward and opened his mouth as he watched him while watching.

"Only the Allied Army is heading to the castle. Her Majesty and the White Queen have rabbits, will the attendees be waiting here? Don't worry, we'll be guarding you properly."

It's almost impossible to pull out a sword on the waist in spite of the face of a knight with a humiliated laugh with Nita Nita. Again, these guys are rumored and knights are just plain dirty mercenaries! These guys ... these empires have been spoiled because of these guys. When I see a face that has nothing to do with the fate of the empire, insects run, and I'll cut it off on this spot! However, when he tried to pull his sword at the waist, the genie asked the mercenaries with a terrifying low voice.

"Do you protect me properly?"

"Yes, His Majesty, please leave it to us, and your companion will enjoy it."

It seems that the genie is thinking while saying "Hum" to the mercenary's answer, but is it really going to leave it? If you do such a thing, it will never be correct. I try to call out to change my mind and notice the laughter that the demon floats.

"Victoria seems to be entertaining, so you're left. Also introduce yourself."

After saying, "I understand," the beautiful woman said to the Genie, and began to introduce herself together with the mercenaries with a faint smile.

"In the Emperor of Ursna, Victoria Loa Ursna, a good man. He seems to entertain his concubine, but what is he doing?"

"Oh, we are ..."

The stupid mercenaries were upset, but I was careless, and calmly thought, a boy calling himself a "genie" could not bring an ordinary attendant. However, there is no way to predict that a demonic emperor will be treated as a person. I was desperately trying to figure out how to put this place in a situation beyond imagination, and Lilin helped out.

"My Majesty, I think it's better to take Victoria as well, because he's familiar with human society and needs to talk to him."

"If Lilin says so, that's okay. Joachim, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Our soldiers are rude."

The genie orders Victoria to "ride a horse-drawn carriage" and crosses her legs. I got in a hurry and sat in the seat, but I could see that the genie, Lilin, and even Victoria were laughing at Couscous.

It looked as if the current turmoil was in the range of expectations, but I really want to believe that there is no such thing. As he continued silently on the road to the castle, the genie leaked his words as if to speak alone.

"It's a good city that's dark and you can't see it.

I think of the purpose that the genie himself came out to the front line, in the words that he wished from the bottom of his heart. The Empire is no longer strong enough to defeat Multi-Alliance forces. Most of the knights, which are supposed to be retreating from each battlefield, are missing during the retreat, due to the Allies' approaching too early.

In other words, they are fighting to protect the last remaining will and royal family. Although the terminal soldiers do not know, the empire whose allied forces have shut off all supply channels will be neutralized by continuing to be besieged without an offensive. Of course, the genie should have grasped that ... but why did this stage appear before us?

If the genie tries to change the empire as I expect, then ───.

"Grandmaster has arrived."

It seems that he had been thinking for a very long time, returning to his voice. When I got off the carriage and checked the surrounding safety and the knight to pick me up, I found a deputy commander Clemens in front of the castle gate, so approach it while taking care not to make unnatural movements .

"Clemens, how are you prepared?"

"Huh! I'm perfect."

"Well, we're going to have a serious meeting that will affect the tomorrow of the Empire.

Pretending to hit Clemens's shoulders, saluting the word with salute, I whispered face-to-face to hear only him.

"Be prepared for the example"

After confirming that Clemens nodded a little, he returned to the carriage, and the genie had already descended from the carriage and had greatly extended. Admired by the boldness of such an unprotected appearance in front of the enemy's homeland, I told the devils that I was ready to enter the interior of the castle.

While walking in the castle, the genie stops walking and looks at the courtyard. Was there something eye-catching? Remembering the memories of the castle, which has rarely been visited recently, the genie asked while pointing at a single tree planted in the courtyard.

"What kind of bird is resting its wings in that tree?-It's a kind I've never seen ..."

When I checked my fingertip, I saw a bird inhabiting the eastern continent, and it must have been a rare species that had been given by the Principality on Queen's birthday. When I told the story, the genie began walking again muttering, "Yes," but the gaze turned to the flickering birds.

Are you interested in pet animals? I arrived in front of the room where the discussion was held, assuming that I was still giving guidance while having such questions.

"This is the room where your Majesty is waiting."

"Do you get it"

As soon as the door is opened, the genie enters the room dashingly. As I followed in from behind, I saw a blue-faced Her Majesty Carl and a grumpy Lord Dorne sitting in a chair. I tried to introduce them to the genie, but he soon began to relax, sitting on the open chaise longue.

Sorry Dorne saw the demon's behavior and, as expected, turned his face red and began to scream.

"I'm not going to give you permission to sit down! Is there a lot of room for sub-humans, such as coming to the battlefield with women in the first place?"

"I didn't come to the courtesy of the ministry, so I wanted permission, or did you think I would succumb to the empire? If so, it's a pretty stupid. There is a surplus when compared to `` Oguni ''

"You're going to play the empire!"

The genie, who was watching Sir Dorne as she spit, raised a large sigh and asked Her Majesty Carl.

"Is it your Majesty Carl? I said I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't say a word that I wanted to talk to such a hairy monster.

"I apologize for his lack of gratitude, but Lord Dorne is ... the loyal chief of the Empire and I want to take his opinion, so that ..."

Her Majesty Carl is answering the questions of the genie while descending. I'll ask you a genie, so be aware! Now, it is Lord Dorne in front of me who is in control of the Empire, and we, who are in control of the Queen and His Royal Highness and holding the "State Seal", cannot defeat Lord Dorne.

The genie glanced at her lips, shaking with so much regret, as she looked at me and His Majesty alternately, and nodded as if convinced.

"I understand what I mean, so Lord Sir Dorne reminds me of the Allied Forces: the Linked Bull Empire must sign a ceasefire agreement prepared by the Allied Forces. Immediate release: three, recognition of all sub-races in the empire as formal imperial subjects, four, permission of allied troops to reside in five major cities, including the imperial capital. If not, launch a total attack in the morning. ''

Stupid! ? Isn't the content a de facto unconditional surrender! It's not something you can accept, the genie has come up with such ridiculous thoughts.

Isn't the aim simply to overrun other nations, as expected? At the request of the genie, which was told plainly, Her Majesty Carl passed the blue and turned her face white enough to be defeated, and even Lord Sir Dorne seemed to be afraid and could not speak.

"My Majesty, would you like to tell me not only the request but also the reward? These people have a blue face."

"Oh, yes."

Lilin proposes to the demon laughing with couscous, but in return under such conditions? It wouldn't be right anyway ... I started listening to the genie's "return" with a feeling similar to giving up, but as I listened to the contents in detail, I got more shock than I was given the previous request I got it.

"In return for accepting the demand, the Allies will allow the royal family to survive, and the Allies will pay for the social disruptions that occur during the release of slaves. The money paid will be for the labor involved in the release of labor slaves. Use the decline in cases such as recruiting former slaves by paying a legitimate wage.

In addition, if an occupying Allied Army violates the law, it will be punished under the laws of the Empire, meaning that extraterritorial rights do not apply. "

His Majesty's eyes are shining with a revived face in a condition that can be called exceptional. If the royal family survives, the empire will have a chance to rebuild, and if the extraterritorial rights are not granted, it can be said that it is not "completely defeated" to friendly nations.

I told His Majesty that he should accept the Alliance's proposal, but Lord Dorne opposed it.

"Nana! The empire can still fight, resist the sub-people to the end! Joachim, are you not proud of you as a human being?"

"Sir Dorne! Look at the reality, the empire has no power to fight the allies anymore! Is he intending to destroy the empire?"

Sir Dorne, furious at my advice, left to leave the room saying he would collect troops. Unsavory ... In this situation, Lord Dorne will attack the Allied troops with his child soldiers alone.

In that case, the future of the empire, the lives of the subjects, and everything I have to protect will be gone. After hesitating for a short time while stroking his wife's scarf, I give a command to the Knights of the Guards with a pendant-type magic tool that I never mind.

"I will carry out the plan ahead of time. Hurry, I will clear everything before the main force deployed in front of the gate returns."

"Roger that"

Satisfied with the powerful response from his subordinates heard from the magic tool, I approach the majestic Majesty without swallowing things.

"What's going on, Joachim? What is the plan? Why was the castle suddenly noisy?"

Sorry, His Majesty, this is necessary to return the Empire to normal and protect your subjects and royal family. So after apologizing in my heart that I couldn't say that my mouth was torn, I pulled my hip sword and turned my tip to Her Majesty Carl.

"Sit down, Your Majesty. This is a 'coup.'"

I couldn't see my Majesty's desperate look at my declaration, but I just silently turned my back to my Majesty and locked the door so no one could come in.

Sir Dorne sat in the chair he was sitting on and heard reports from his men, and the plan seemed to be on track.

"Leader succeeded in binding major nobleman"

"Okay, arrest in the castle as a hostage. Don't hurt him."

The first goal seems to be successful. Keeping the aristocrats hostage in the castle would not do anything if the main force returned from the front line, but would exacerbate the confusion as there was no commander from each faction to give directions.

The rest is securing the status of the confined queens ... will it work? If you are waiting with your arms folded while lighting a cigar, a long-awaited report comes in.

"The Queen and her Highness have been rescued! I'm embarrassed but safe. "

"Well done. Take me to my room right away."

While unlocking the lock on the door and waiting for the subordinates to bring the queens, I heard a rattling sound from the back of the corridor, and the subordinate who hid his face with a cloth jumped into the room .

"I brought the queens. I'm sorry I failed to detain Lord Dorne. But I found the seal in my room and give it to the commander again."

"It's painful to miss, but it's okay. You can go back to your post."

I take out the papers for punishing the "invasion" that I had prepared and press the seal to settle one after another. The Queen asks questions and talks to me like that, but ignores everything and continues working, processing all the documents, and even if a series of turmoil begins, it ends with the genie sitting dignifiedly Take confirmation.

"I have the decision of this country right now, but if I sign the surrender document, the above conditions are met, right?"

"Of course, the surrender document is recognized as the will of the Empire, not the individual. It does not matter who wrote the seal if the seal was stamped there."

"I see. Please give me the documents."

The genie gives me a folded document from her bosom and gives it to me. The document, which was written carefully in the language of the Empire, contained the same conditions as the genie spoke. The Queen asked a painful voice three times when he tried to push the seal after checking if there were any adverse conditions in the Empire.

"Joachim, do you betray the Empire? Even though you believed that you would be loyal to the Empire whatever ...

Because you are doing your loyalty, Queen, that's why I chose this path. It's all for the Empire and the royal family ... I'm glad to be a rebel for that, I abandoned all my feelings, pushed the seal to the surrender document, and pushed the document back to the genie.

"Accepted, at this point, allied troops have halted military action against the Linked Bull Empire. By the way, what is the status of the fled Sir Dorne now? Should he be treated as an imperial noble or as a thief? "

"Sir Dorne arranges as a burglar's prisoner, so please treat him that way."

The genie nodded at my words, "Hum," and then stood up, walking to the window and staring out.

"It's almost dawn soon."

At that time, you can see that the sky is getting lighter and thinner. It was a quick event since the demon came to the Imperial City, and this will be the last time I see the sunrise. The only thing left is to miss Lord Dorne, but leave the rest to Her Majesty Carl and Clemens.

I judge so and try to issue the last command of the subordinate using the magic tool, but the genie controls it by hand.

"If Sir Dorne flees from the Imperial City, where do you think he would flee?"

"It's ... the northernmost security, the northern side. We've arranged, but it's likely that we've already escaped from the Imperial City, but we're sorry to escape to the Church."

"Yes, but do you think you can escape if you look at that?"

Looking at the one pointed by the genie, you could see nothing at first, but as the sun rose, you could see countless flags fluttering in the wind on the northern grasslands. Where's the unit? The main forces of the Allied Forces are deployed in front of the Imperial City, and the north side of the Empire is a high magic area where demons cannot live. Does it mean that he marched in such a place and approached the royal capital?

I was still observing a mysterious unit approaching slowly, but when I saw the type of flag that I was raising clearly, I shouted to my surprise.

"It's the Merkava Army !? Stupid, and that flag is the flag of the Black Knights."

"The Knights of Black Gold have run through the northern mountains with the help of you, just as you did to protect the future of the Empire. As a result, the Empire surrendered before the gross attack, which was wasted. However, a report from the Knights of Black Gold reportedly captured the aristocrat who was believed to have fled from the Imperial City.

Well, that's it. He orders his subordinates with a magic tool while feeling the load on his shoulder.

"I'll finish my plan, and I'll ask you as scheduled."

"…………Roger that. I was happy to fight under the leader ”

I put my sword on my waist on the table, and then took my flask from my pocket and drank a sip. A strong liquor was stroking his scarf while enjoying the pleasant touch of burning his throat, and several people could hear the footsteps of running down the hallway.

Apparently the subordinates came to me ... I want to praise the subordinates who showed quick action as usual, but I can't do it anymore. Eventually the doors opened vigorously, and a fully armed Knights of the Guards below Clemens entered the room.

"Joachim! Thief! As you can see, the Knights of the Guards have regained control, your plan has failed. All members! From now on, we will punish the thieves."

Clemens ... What do you look like crying, and that's what makes other Knights suspicious. It must have been decided for a long time, but when the coup succeeds, the Knights of the Guards will execute “I am the only one” as the mastermind after eliminating all the imprisoners.

You can protect the whole face by punishing Konoe's shame early, so it would be meaningless to hide your face with cloth so that the coup participant would not know But. As always, Clemens warped her face to the point where she was about to cry, asking her questions while pointing her sword.

"Is there anything left to say?"

"No"

Nothing like that ... Clemens entrusts you to the future of the Empire, please fulfill the responsibilities of the Guard Knights to keep your Majesty until the end I couldn't. He decided to prepare, stared at the face of an excellent knight who grew up in salt, and nodded a little, and screamed, rather than Clemens, as if the Devil had panicked for some reason.

"I definitely don't like this ending! Lewis and Jonathan are here, Plan C, please."

The moment the genie shouts, the space suddenly distorts, and two black-out humans appear and turn their weapons towards subordinates.

"Don't move! We're a special unit of the Allied Army. Under the Armistice Treaty, the Imperial City is currently under the control of the Allied Army. Violating this is considered" willing to take over the war. " Throw away all the weapons. "

I don't understand how the duo appeared, but if the war resumes again here, there's no source or child. I signal to my subordinates to throw their weapons away and try to turn to the genie to explain the situation, but sooner the duo talks.

"I'm sorry but please bear with me"

I can't understand those words! At the same time as the popping sound of, the body was blown and slammed against the wall. When I was crouching without being able to move due to the pain and the impact struck, one of the black men approached and put my hand on my neck. Black-handed, who had been holding his hand for a few seconds, soon shook his head and talked to the genie.

"His Excellency, unfortunately, shot and killed one imperial serviceman who did not follow the disarmament recommendation."

"Yes, I'm sorry, but it's unavoidable. His Majesty Carl had a painful incident at the end, but we will not ask this time. However, the weapons used when shooting were confidential even in the Allied Army Sorry, Joachim's body will be recovered here because it is a weapon. ''

What the genie is trying to do. Have you changed the way you speak? I was full of intimidation until now, but now I'm smiling and talking to my age, which one is the real one?

I was snarling with confusion and pain, and a black man who noticed my voice approached me and squatted down in front of me.

"I don't want the dead to talk. I'll hit the painkillers and sleep for a while."

With that said, the black man stabbed something in my thigh. When I was looking at Clemens, who was confused with the genie while feeling pain rapidly, she eventually lost consciousness.

"Hm ... um ..."

Joachim, sleeping on the bed in front of him, speaks out, apparently at the time of the anesthesia struck by the castle. Looking at the situation, Joachim opened his eyes firmly, looked around, and turned to me and asked a question.

"here?"

"Inside the battleship Alice, the flagship of the Multi-Alliance Allied Forces. This is the central medical office, which is a simple way to treat injuries."

"Rikujosenkan? What is it?"

I can explain in detail, but there is something more important than that. Shortly after Joachim fainted, we withdrew from the imperial capital, but on the way we stopped at Joachim's house to rescue his family.

However, I exclaimed the figure of Lewis and Jonathan who rushed into the house and found on the second floor.

"Mr. Joachim, we headed for the wife's rescue on the way home from the castle. I found him on the second floor ...

"What happened to your wife?"

"Well, my wife was a Ket Shi tribe! I was surprised and hardened when I first saw it. Is it? "

"Huh? No, but ... is that all?"

That's a very important thing for me. It's a real cat! ? The wife was surprised at us who suddenly broke into the house and was quite vigilant at the beginning and made the cat ears jerk, but when he showed Joachim who was carrying Lilin and told him the reason, he followed me calmly .

By the way, when I returned to Alice, I tried to give my wife "Matatabi", which was given to my coat, who had a cat, and my mother stopped me seriously. I thought he was pleased, but I was surprised to return to Court because I was told that I shouldn't give it to me like a dangerous thing.

"What happens to the empire?"

"As described in the castle, it will be under the control of the Allied Army for some time. After that, the management will gradually be loosened step by step, but I do not know what will happen next. Whether to take a new step, It is up to the empire to decide whether to return to the original empire. ''

"Is that so"

Joachim is closing her eyes and thinking about something. Perhaps I am worried about what the future of the empire I will save will follow in the future. I am desperately wondering if there is a story that encourages Joachim and encourages him to do something. After a while thinking, I remembered an event that had sunk into my memory and decided to tell the story.

"A long time ago, an island nation fought against the world. The country, whose national power and technology were inferior to other nations, fought as far as it could, but before the enemy nation's infinite force and new weapons I was defeated.

It is said that more than 3 million people died in a terrible war that used up the last drop of national power. When the enemy nation came in after the war, I was really exhausted. ''

"What happened to that country since then?"

`` I vowed that I would never repeat the mistakes of the past, and over 60 years after the war, I inherited the feelings of the fallen people who scattered to protect the country, and that country has grown to be on par with the great powers In particular, his technical strength is a wonderful word. "

"Can the same be done for the empire?"

"I can do it. If we all work together and we work together, the empire can be reborn."

After hearing my story, Joachim stared at the ceiling and nodded constantly, apparently finding some hope. It's okay Joachim ... I'm sure the empire will be reborn, so we don't have to worry too much because we will of course cooperate. I stopped by recalling the message asked by Her Majesty Carl to leave the medical office.

"Yes, there is a message from His Majesty Carl."

"What were you saying?"

"I was told to say," Thank you. ""

I don't know what the word "thank you" means. But the commander of the Guard Knights, who had long been in charge of His Majesty Carl's guard, was informed of the meaning of the word, and Joachim was weeping, strictly crumpling his face.

“Ugu …… Your Majesty ... I was able to serve my Majesty… I was happy”

I decided to gently leave the clinic this time to keep Joachim, who is crying on the bed, alone.
