Take a wheeled vehicle connected to Animus' back and continue along the strange scenery of the Inheria Empire.

It got completely dark outside, but the lights on Animus allowed me to keep traveling without any problems thanks to illuminating my surroundings.

Apparently it will be the day after tomorrow to arrive in the Imperial City.

I hear you're staying in a town ahead of you today.

Although the swing inside the vehicle was not as loud as the carriage, the noise of rattling was loud enough to cancel out people's voices.

Thanks to this, the occasional voice of Pranas heard from inside the bag is not heard by Crypto.

I still want to keep the presence of my collaborators down.

That said, I want to tell Planus that I left Gui and the presence of Soleil, and I want to get to the next town and have a conversation with her as soon as possible.

"And Orihalcon, huh? I was sure of the Empire's victory, but I didn't know such a tiger boy was still asleep in the kingdom."

With his arms together, Crypt said with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"I think there will be more animas wearing Orihalcon in the future."

"Don't be confused about the war situation... I'm lucky I got a living sample early, I need to hurry and analyze it. But ha... it seems to me that the emperor of that war maniac will rejoice"

I can't believe my men told me so much. The Emperor seems like a man in trouble.

In my head, I think of the image of a self-serving emperor, a rugged and lavish uncle.

All my bosses, colleagues, and subordinates have blown their heads, which would be a hard environment for a relatively common sense crypt.

"Mmm..."

And then the lily that slept next to me woke up.

I guess it's because of what I said earlier, so I did something I'm sorry about.

"It's getting dark outside..."

He said he'll be here in a little while.

"Oh well... oh, I feel like I'm on a train"

Although there is a difference between good and bad rides, the senses are certainly similar.

In a confined space, the wind of cooling using the magic coming down from the top, no smell, no heart or feeling close to the train.

"Mm-hmm. A train."

Lilies have a rare and worrying look.

She thought about it for a moment and then said as she looked at this one to the top.

"The Cape... you never thought you'd want to go home or anything?

"To the original world?

"Yeah."

"Nothing."

Answer immediately.

Because it was a question that I didn't even need to think about.

"If you insist, your sister's presence was untrained, but you found out she was here. What about the lilies?

"Now, I don't think there's any more. Your father or mother would be looking for me, and if I told you I didn't miss you at all, you'd be lying. But now there's something more important."

That said, Lily grinned fuzzily with her sleeping eyes.

I pull in with her shoulders and stroke her head.

"Hmm, this is all gonna make other things better"

Above all, if you're satisfied.

As for me, I really don't care about my parents.

But after all, it usually takes some homesickness.

The original world, huh?

All I have to do is do the opposite of subpoena magic, so if Planus cares about it, I feel like I can make repatriation magic or something.

I don't even dare to bother her with her hands.

Even if there were people who wanted to go home, they'd all die anyway, except for Lily.

After another half an hour or so, the view from the window begins to change.

Buildings in the hands of men appeared gleaming, realizing that the town was approaching.

"It's been a long time since I've been in a country town with Eklogy."

Renee, an obedient sitting next to the crypt, said.

Apparently, the town you stop in is called Eklogy.

"There are woods all around, mountains even further away. You can live in a place like this a lot, I can't do it."

"You're good anywhere as long as you have a woman?

"It's not everywhere, is it? If you think it's going to be a pleasant trip today, you know what?"

Lenny pointed at us in the jaw, of course.

I'm not even going to hide it, but one eye must have figured out the relationship.

"I think you can have about one extra person."

"Even if it's excessive, nobody gets close to a guy with a rounded bottom like you. Come on, let's get this dumb talk over with. It's time to get off."

"Ugh, parent"

"So don't call me a parent..."

Crypto says in a frightening mood, but surprisingly, the two seem to be close.

It's the opposite character, so it's neutralized and maybe just the right salt plum.

When the vehicle stops, the man who came down from Animus, who was pulling, opens the door.

I got off as he guided me, and I sucked in the air outside for a long time, stretching out my body.

Exactly. If I sit in a car that I'm not used to riding for less than four hours, my body gets tired.

I wanted to head to the inn right away, but I'm not going either.

When I asked only where the inn was, I left Ellea to the lilies to move to the shadows alone.

"Pranas, we can talk now."

Speaking to Oracle Stone like that, I heard the sound of Gashan, like someone rolling over from across the stone.

Did you fall in surprise at my voice?

You surprisingly can afford it, saying you're cornered by Orihalcon pollution or something.

"Mr. Shirotsume!? Good, you're safe!

Planus' voice is louder than usual.

That volume alone tells me how worried you were about me.

If it's for Ivy, you don't choose the means, which basically means you're a good guy, right, Planus?

"Sorry, I noticed, but I couldn't reply because it's in public"

'I have no choice, neither can I always reply. But it looks like Katsura was able to defeat him safely.'

"Yeah, it was pretty nasty, but somehow. After that, I joined a man named Crypto of the Imperial Army on his way to the Imperial City."

"Is Crypto the Fourth Gen. Crypto Zafonica!?

Oh, the word "fourth general" makes sense to Planus.

I wonder if she's also connected to the Empire.

"I think maybe the Four Generals will fit, and then we'll get to know Francus and Kinesia and both the Four Generals."

'That's going well, isn't it? Isn't it complete by yourself? If that's possible, I'd like to exile now. "

"If we even reach the Imperial Capital, we might be able to do something about it"

'Ha, it's not that simple. Tell me how much you've known each other.'

"That's it... only one of the Four Generals left."

'Oh, with that said, I was talking about a recent shift. What's wrong with that?

That's my first ear.

But given the time when he was summoned, it would be reasonable to assume that the previous Four generals were kicked down with strength.

I mean... he's that strong.

It was my sister.

Tell them in as calm a tone as you can.

Planus across the stone, has been stunningly silent.

"I don't know how he summoned me here, but I'm pretty sure he did"

"Yep... Yep? Wait, this is the only one with subpoena magic skills, right? No, it is true that information could have been leaked from the spy, but even so, there are other people who can reproduce it besides me - no way... '

"Do you have any idea?

"Noira Martifora. Not to me, but there is a man called the Genius Mage of the Empire. The size of the summons is only one sister?

From the phrase "not to me”, I can hear Pranas' confident man.

You're so polite in your tone of voice, what you're doing is so forceful and bold.

"So far, I wonder if you've heard of anyone else who's been summoned."

"Is it just one person? That would still be his work. We need to connect the passage (path) between this world and Mr. Shirotsume's world as we prepare to summon magic. Probably got on with it and summoned your sister to the empire. '

"I wonder why she was my sister"

"Weren't you close when you were summoned?

Near the classroom, your sister?

I don't know what the hell you're getting close for, I just knew it would be a hassle if Folk Crane or Isokan found me.

... Well, what do you know if you ask the person?

"So, here's the real deal."

"Oh, what you've been calling for so many times has been a rush."

'For once, is it okay to interpret that you destroyed the snail as literally saying you defeated it?

In strange rhetoric, I put a question mark over my head.

If I say I defeated him, I think I destroyed him.

"What does that mean?

"When Mithalai, his whole body crystallized and knocked him down in his own rampage, didn't it, and then crushed the crystals?"

'Cause I was sick.'

"So what this time?

"It's the same this time, I used Hirose's death to rock on the spirit of laurel. As a result, the orihalcon is out of control and crystallized. I really want to defeat him in a head-on battle, but there's no way he can win that monster."

"Of course, that crystal crushed, didn't it?

"No, it's still intact. Personally, I wanted to break it, because the Empire people wanted to bring back samples alive."

'... that's not good'

The way Pranas put it was somewhat serious.

Would you even say that leaving the crystallized Haylos Brass alone would do her any harm?

"Mr. Shirotsume, destroy the crystals now"

"What's the matter, suddenly?"

"That's not just a crystal, it's a” cocoon ”for rebirth! It” feathers ”in an average of 4 hours after crystallization!

"Cocoon or feather?

'It means that if you leave it, something stronger than the previous Haylos will be born!

"He said he's stronger than Haylos..."

I just wrapped the orihalcon around it, and it was output enough to change the terrain.

More than that?

- No way you can win that.

"Okay, I'll break it right away!

I interrupted the conversation with Planus, and I ran out.

The crystallized Haylos Brass is stopped out of town with a cloth on it.

"Cape, where are you going?

The lily who sees me running speaks up, but I can't afford to be responding.

'I'm sorry' squeals in my heart, running away as it is.

"Ultioh!"

Arriving out of town, I was the earliest armed man to express an anima - a head high soothsary gun, destroying crystals with cloth moulds.

Dodd, dodd, dodd, dodd, dodd, dodd, dodd, dodd!

Shattered and scattered crystals.

slight discomfort I feel when I see it.

Sure, when Subtilitus, it seemed like it was glowing for a while, even when it was crushed.

But this time I was losing light as soon as I crushed it.

No, you weren't glowing from the start?

If so... already...!

"Eclarum!"

I hear voices from my feet.

Turning his gaze, Renee stood there.

Was he also an animator user, wrapping around the light to express the anima?

Eclarum, who appeared in front of him, had a flashy vigil to remind Renee herself.

"I don't know what you're doing. You're in trouble if you break it on your own."

I can point a sausage gun at Eclarum at close range.

I broke the sample because of it, so naturally?

But not if you're doing that now.

"We decided it was dangerous, so we destroyed it."

"What's so dangerous? Isn't it just a giant stone?"

"It wasn't a stone, it was a cocoon, that was it. And after a moment, the feathered laurel may already be nearby!

"I need you to explain everything to me so I can understand it."

I wanted to explain, but I didn't have time for that.

Because there was something on Eclarum's shoulder, at some point.

As big as humans, the body is clear green and the pulsating guts in the body look clear.

The figure, when I looked calmly, felt similar to the laurel.

When he raised his right hand to the height of his head - he slammed the palm bottom into Eclarum's cheek.

Bagooooooo!!

Intense bursting sound, as if even a giant cannon had been hit.

When I thought I heard that, Eclarum had already danced through the universe and blown far away at a fierce speed while spinning.

And that guy who should have been on Eclarum's shoulder (...) floats in the same spot as if nothing had happened.

I didn't understand what happened. [M]

"Ai, a, gna, ni, chal, chee, u"

Go on, he's been talking to me about something.

Can't you speak well because your vocal cords are different, or is it another language specific to Orihalcon?

All I know is that he's hostile to me, that's all.

I don't feel like killing, neither do hate. But only hostility can be clearly felt.

"n, ehe, li, li, li, li, qua, nel"

He points at me and keeps crushing something.

First of all, he's targeting me, not the town.

I mean, I guess he has some memories of when he was human, albeit slightly.

This is the one who killed Hirose, the memory of his hatred.

But he doesn't hate me himself.

Because I remember that, I felt that I was the enemy, that I was just judging.

"La, si, l, la, si, l, la, si, l"

Something that was a laurel slowly approaching, repeating something.

... I shouldn't be provoking you yet.

I chose a high-sausage sabel from a melee and stood up against him.

Planus says strength is even higher than before feathering.

I'm not the only one who can beat you.

Besides, you won't crystallize that you disturbed your spirit just like you did before.

Anyway, his body is glowing green.

"Huh!

For the laurel in time, wave down the sabel.

Sabel, many times longer than his own body, but he doesn't avoid it.

Bazi!

Take it easy with your left hand, along with the sound you can play.

I raised my empty right-hand index finger as it was and shook it up from the bottom up.

I had a bad feeling that I would let go of the servel and retreat from the extension of my finger as I defeated my body.

Shortly after--

Zudododododododododododododoo!

Using my footing as a starting point, the forest is divided in a straight line towards the back.

They released something from their fingertips.

"Cape!

"Are you okay, Misaki!

"Missaki, I'm here to help."

"Renee!"

Reinforcements finally showed up here.

Teneritus, Arkedia, and Crypto Anima "Eela" on Illiteum.

Eela held up that fuselage as she rushed over to Eclarum, where she fell to the ground.

But its neck has been unbroken and twisted.

Evidence of losing HP and being shocked without barriers.

Which means - this guy took all his HP with that palm bottom blow.

It's literally a chemical, and I can't believe it's just biological and this strength.

"Oh, my God, Renee, Renee!

When Eela put the breathless Eclarum to sleep on the ground, she stood up and pulled out a giant sword.

Crypto's voice is trembling in anger, he must be a man thick in love.

And when he realized the hostility directed at him, Kwai turned his gaze toward Eela.

"Cheyeyeyee yee yee!"

Eela slashed by the laurels as she tempered herself with her voice.

It was too powerful, too fast, but too different in size.

Gui tries to circumvent the sword easily.

But - the slaughter split just before it hit the laurel.

Exactly. Even he can't handle slow coming attacks from up, down, left and right at the same time.

Zach!

Eela's sword is a brilliant hit on the laurels.

In response to that attack, which would have been fatal if it had been a single blow, the laurels...

"Lel, a, wi, ay"

He floats on the spot with no movement at all and grips his fist.

"What...!?

Stunning crypt.

And Gui slammed that fist in as he approached Ira's abdomen, where he couldn't move.

"Oh, heh..."

Intense upper cut.

Eela was blown high above.

There is no longer even a voice of surprise.

"That... could it be a great moon?

"Oh no, he should have died crystallizing!?

"My body is crazy and I feel it."

It's good to share your thoughts with each of them, but that's not the case right now.

If you ask me if I can win, let me answer this clearly.

I can't.

There's no Xynia here, Krypt got hit with one blow, not everyone's opponent.

I mean, more than you can win, what you need to think about is how to escape.

Minimize damage, and to do that...

"Mr. Krypt!

That's right, Fourth General, they won't die just from the punch just now.

I speak out loud to Elia, who keeps her stomach down but rises up.

Of course, the laurels will attack me in response to my voice.

"Huh... I'm in the way!

I manage to overdo it while responding with a relatively easy to target Gandeva.

"Gu, you're impudent while I am. Wait, I'm going to help you right now!

"I don't care about that, evacuate the people in town faster than that!

"What...!? But then!

"You can't beat this guy, now think about saving a little more lives!

This is an empire, and unlike the kingdom, there is no one life wasted.

"Lily, Ellea, and once more Fran, help me evacuate with Crypt and Rabbi!

"Wait, what about the Cape then!?

I want to run, too.

But if I run away with you, I'll go after Katsura.

In that case, Lily, Ellea, Fran, and Rabbi, I may not be able to protect everyone.

No, I can't protect you, never.

Even the wound that lost the colorful flowers hasn't healed at all yet, but if I lose anyone any more, I can't stand it anymore.

My heart breaks before I hate it.

I do want revenge done.

But that's only because Lily and Ellea are safe.

A moment later, I might have thought of something else, having just left King's Capital.

I might have thought that I would have sacrificed about Lily.

But not now.

The top priority is not to put on, save what you have to save, and do even more revenge!

"In the meantime, Gui seems to be after me, so one of us has to be the one!

Gui stopped holding the unleashed Garndeva arrow with his hand.

While I have a heartbreaking laugh, I chop off the thrown arrow with a sausage sabel.

Shortly afterwards, he packs the distance and punches me with his fist, laurel.

"Skill activated (boot), envy my realm (Narkissos)!"

Skills lead us up, and of course laurels follow us.

"Freemsulus!"

At a reasonable altitude, he fell all at once, and Gui took a flying kick with the weight of Ultio's figure and the magic of ice on it, directly from the front.

The power was - it was up there.

I was blown away and slammed to the ground out of balance.

On the other hand, the laurels, frozen, do not move at all, and move flat as if there was no ice or anything else from the beginning.

It's a monster, literally.

"I don't know how much I'll have either, so hurry up!

"Cape, no...!

"... ok. But remember, if Misaki dies, I... no, we can't live. I would rather die from myself. So if you want to protect us, don't think about self-sacrifice as ridiculous, live and run away!

If I die, will I die too? [M]

Oh, love is heavy.

"I don't know, Misaki, come on!

Thanks to this, the lightness of the franc feels like a good sober.

Well, it's the result of what I've done.

Dependence is such a thing, I can believe it because it's heavy, I can rest assured I won't betray you.

I mean, I deserve it, it's all my business.

Then, no matter what, you can't die!

"Vajra!"

Irradiate a high-energy cannon towards the laurel.

Hit directly from the front.

But the laurel thrust directly into its energy cannon, and when he realized it, it was imminent in front of him.

"Rio, Le, Kalihu, Ni, G."

A fist of laurel enters Ultio's chest.

"Or, ha."

At the next moment, Ultio's fuselage was floating in the air, just like the Eclarum we saw earlier.

My body leaves town.

Oh, I knew it - I don't feel like I could win.

But still, there's a reason I can't retreat.

I rise again and face Gui.

The desperate battle had just begun.
