In the town of Mons, there is no longer but Soleil.

Hometown, and losing her mentor, she didn't even have the strength to move.

Finishing preying on three dead and flashy animas, and one that died yesterday, we leave Soleil alone and leave Mons.

Head for the Empire, follow Fran's guide and continue southwest.

"Ha ha! So, bam! Eat it, what's that like? Delicious?"

This is what Fran always looks like, though not since he saw the predation.

He liked Ultio so much.

"It's delicious when you say it's delicious, but I guess it tastes better to be alive. And for the rest of my death yesterday, I knew it wasn't delicious."

"Taste it, that..."

"Well, I'm also interested in the taste of corpses. Speaking of which, thanks to your sister for feeling my signs."

I've never felt a physical change after I preyed.

But there's no way you're gonna change anything by eating all that anima.

Fran's right, I was able to detect her signs because I've preyed on so many animas so far.

My body is dying. [M]

Humans who know will know that, huh?

"Mr. Francus, was this road good on the left?

"Yeah, turn left and stay put - if you go right ahead, you'll arrive in the secret passage soon!

"The secret passage, is it something like a cave?"

"And Ri. Bashante is connected to a location that was originally a front-line base. The Empire kept pushing away, and now it's not a front-line base, though. But there must still be some troops left."

"The missing end is suddenly the base."

With the introduction of Fran, it might be easy to get into the army.

The question is, how do you get up from then on?

But the fact that even Fran can be a Fourth General means that the Imperial Army is a place where meritocracy is more thorough than I imagined.

I mean, even if I'm a stranger,

"Um, finally an empire. Ah. It seemed like a long, short journey. The Cape is nervous... it doesn't seem like it."

"Is Lily nervous?

"Not naturally, I might have freaked out more if I was alone. If Cape was here, I'd be fine, mostly."

That's what Lily said, hugging my arm.

While I say fine, I guess I'm afraid of scary things.

If this exhilaration hadn't overwhelmed the tension, I'd have felt the same way, so I can understand.

It took about two hours from there until the carriage arrived at its destination.

The more I proceeded, the more anxious I was to see the growing trees, and Fran said, "Here it is!" The voice echoes.

This place... is in the middle of the woods.

"Hehe, you don't know where it is"

For some reason Fran was good at it.

Sure, but when they say there's a secret passage leading to the Empire here, I don't see any facility like that at all.

Looking around us anxiously, Fran approached a tree that was alone, touching the trunk and crushing something with a small voice.

Then, as soon as the tree emits a pale light, the ground begins to shake.

"Such an institution, well made in the Kingdom of Legnatrics..."

Look at the entrance that opened to the ground, and the rabbi squeaks.

Ahead, there was a gentle downhill the size of which the carriage could pass as well.

I've seen it a lot before, but I didn't know the Kingdom's defenses were monkeys so far.

That's narrow enough to send in an army, but I can send in as much as I want if I'm about to use Anima.

That's why Xynia is attacking the King's Capital.

Okay, let's go.

Fran jumped lightly back to the carriage carriage carriage and sat next to me.

"The lights are on their own, so don't worry."

As the carriage progresses, one light after another lights up the aisle.

Downhill to the bottom, coming forward, even a long passage led to the back.

It's a distracting length, not something you can do overnight.

Besides, this stone wall... it doesn't look very new.

"Could this road be something that's been around for a long time?

"Um, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it happened before the war."

"Since before the war... does that mean that the Empire was going to fight the kingdom sooner or later"

"Sure, was the trigger of the war a tangle of mine rights? It must have been a great opportunity for the Empire."

Lily's right, I guess we didn't mean to pretend to respond to the negotiations and share the misrills from the beginning.

The kingdom got caught up in it all by itself and started a war.

And with this Zama.

Then the carriage proceeded for about 10 minutes, but the aisle is still ahead.

Turning back to the lid, there was almost the same view there as up front.

It's like being trapped in an endless passage, just a little bit of fear.

"If it's a carriage, it'll take about 3 hours, so I can't help but twitch so much. Talk to me slowly, Misaki."

"Do you have three hours? I can't even replace the view, so I'm going to lose my mind."

The horse-manipulating rabbi must continue to see the unchanged landscape, which continues even if he does not like it.

You'll be mentally exhausted, I just want to take a break as soon as I get out of the aisle.

"Speaking of which, Fran is the Fourth General."

"Yeah, I am!

"I don't really hear that name in the kingdom, but what exactly are they?

"It's simple, that's what I call the emperor's next four strong animators in the empire."

"I mean, is the emperor the strongest?"

"Yeah, Riatrice's Anima...... I say Imperator Toll, it's amazing anyway, huh? Because you're amazingly big and strong! We have no teeth at all."

I guess that includes Xynia and all that.

How much of a monster is it to have all that strength but no teeth to stand?

Besides, if you have that much strength anima, why don't you just go out and hit the Royal Army?

So far, I've only seen about Ivy use the anima of a kingdom that can fight properly with the Fourth General.

I haven't seen any other knights, so maybe some of them are strong anima users after a while, but I guess Ivy is the strongest when it comes to captaining a regiment.

And then, if you grow up, you can manage the laurel.

I wonder if the emperor will defeat it lightly if he goes out with that degree of combat power.

"Then why isn't the emperor going out?

"Because it's boring, he said. War can only be enjoyed if the power of war is antagonistic. In an overwhelming battle, we can't expect people to grow their minds or increase their technology."

Is that the type of person you are?

Sure, it sounds like an empire of meritocracy.

"But I guess we'll fight just if the Empire attacks us. Reatrice is a proper thinker of the Emperor Nation."

In that regard, I wonder if it's better than Kingdom's.

Most importantly, the loss of the Empire is an intense situation at a time when the Imperial Capital is attacking us, and it would be an unlikely circumstance.

"I understand the emperor very well, but what does the Fourth General look like besides Fran? Xynia and Anima have done each other once, but we've never met before."

"Xynia is sweet! I feel like my sister, and what I don't like... drinking a lot of alcohol, I guess."

I see, I just found out that you're a fancy woman.

Well, at the time you're spinning an axe, you can't be a big girl.

"The crypt... I explained it to you, so be it"

"One more person, you've never even heard his name."

"Because I became the Fourth General only recently. All of a sudden he showed up and suddenly kicked off the original Fourth General. I had a good balance with two men and two women because of this, but I became three men and one woman. Actually, I haven't really talked about it either..."

But even the Fourth General's presence wasn't even communicated to the kingdom, you can't possibly know the new face, can you?

"So, what's the person's name?

When asked, Fran answered immediately.

"Mikoto"

- Dunno.

My heart jumped on a familiar name.

No, it would be a coincidence.

It's not strange that other worlds had names like that.

But the next word completely blocks even such an escape route.

"My full name is Mikoto Shirotsume. Is that it? That said, Misaki is also a Misaki Shirotsume? That's a coincidence. Hmm... I think he looks kind of alike..."

Mikoto Sirotsume.

Female.

My face is similar to mine when I became a woman. [M]

When the conditions match so far, it's harder to deny it.

Yeah, I guess - mistake, I don't think so.

How could that man be in this world, and in the empire?

Although the mysteries are too many and often unconvincing, we need to embrace reality first.

"Sister..."

That man is in this world.

You took my side, my only family.

Kinder than anyone, more patient than anyone, and that's why I still can't forget the pain when she abandoned me -

I have a sister like that. I can see you.

But even if you could see me again, with that sweet smile, would you welcome me again...?

"Oh... no, the Cape Sister is life."

"Wow, what a coincidence. Well, I knew it wasn't my fault they looked alike! Yeah, yeah, if you ask me, the vibe is similar, and yes, I was Misaki's sister!

"Why is Mr. Misaki's sister being summoned to this world?

"I don't know. The only people in the same class should have been summoned."

And to the empire, not the kingdom.

Could the Empire have activated the same magic at exactly the same time?

No, if so, I don't know why it was just one sister...

Confusion doesn't go away.

Still, the carriage goes on.

Asako, other than me, thrived on his sister's topic, and although he participated in the conversation as much as I did, he was not here in his mind.

I'm sure I'm happy for you.

But more than that, I'm scared.

If you go through this aisle to the Empire, you'll see your sister.

I can't even turn back now.

The closer the end of the aisle approaches, the growing tension, the frightening body.

They've been passed on to everyone, and if I noticed, Lily and Ellea looked at this one worryingly.

"I guess I feel anxious. If you're really scared, you can count on us."

"Ellea's right. You're not alone, you're not just supportive, you're supportive of us sometimes."

That word gives me great courage. [M]

Yes, even if your sister didn't accept me, there's still Lily and Ellea.

Even Rabbi, Fran, and Planus take my side.

Thinking about it, I suddenly lost my strength from my body.

Afterwards, I was able to regain my serenity and spend time in a relaxed state.

I can see the end of the aisle later.

Is the altitude lower than the entrance on the kingdom side, there was no uphill at the exit?

At the end of the aisle, through the gates we had set up...

"Welcome to the Inheria Empire, and to Bashante!

I spread my hands and said that with a smile on my face.

My first impression when I saw the town of Bashante was... nothing.

"Is that it?"

Fran looks around and puts her neck up.

Though something rubble-like remains, it is almost further ground.

I don't think there was a town there.

"No... Bashante, no?

It was then.

I heard Pranas in the bag I had left beside me.

"Mr. Misaki, can you hear me? Answer me if you hear me!

I had a bad feeling about her voice, and I immediately stuck my hand in the bag and grabbed the Oracle Stone.

"What's wrong, Planus?"

'Good... you haven't engaged yet, have you?

"Engagement?"

"It's Haylos! Haylos the Cuttlefish was marching out a few hours ago with Orihalcon all over his body! The more tests, the more direct the attack on the Empire,” Orihalcon should be able to do it because it's a great substance, "the King said like an idiot!

"Well, this is..."

Haylos, who left King's Capital a few hours ago, wiped out one of the towns in just a few hours?

Even Subtilitus, not so strong, was that strength just because the back booster Orihalcon ran wild.

If Haylos haunts Orihalcon all over his body...

"Mr. Misaki, where are you now?

"I just got to the empire. So, I just made sure one of the towns was gone."

'Eh... hide yourself somewhere you can't find it for one second. That's a monster, there's no way you can beat as many Misakis as you want!

"Know what -"

Understanding and whether it is feasible or not is a separate matter.

"I found it, it's white stuffed. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

"Gui...!?

Ahead of looking up, the shade changed and Haylos looked bigger all around.

He set up a large sausage gun in his arm, a galatine, just before he had already fired.

- The surroundings are surrounded by light.

There was nowhere else to escape.
