"Dear Mikoto, Misaki and perhaps Franças who will be there"
A woman in maid clothes - Viola - comes to us who dropped off the rabbi.
Sounds like a maid with Liatrice, but she's a lot of mysteries.
The only thing that's clear is that she doesn't even see Fran.
"Your Majesty the Emperor is here to see you."
Only the pose is solid, but when I said that in a very nasty voice, she left the spot with the sleaze.
But it's strange that it's just me and my sister, Fran.
Lily and Ellea don't really have a pin when they say they have nothing to do with it.
"Looks like you're not calling, and we're back in the room."
"Yeah...... ok"
"I don't think I can help thinking about it. Hey, if you make me wait too long, Reatrice will bend the navel, so let's go. - Yo."
"Right, Leah, I'm not good at waiting."
She and her knowledgeable sister and Fran are saying, let's follow her very closely here.
"There you go, Misaki"
Sent to Ellea's voice, we wave to the two of us and head between our eyes.
I guess I just wanted a little more time if I could.
Even though the aftertaste of the breakup with the rabbi says it's not cold yet.
◇ ◇ ◇
Doors embedded with golden decorations and beautiful, clear colors.
Beyond that, there was a glimpse.
By the time we get there, Viola will be waiting in front of us, opening the door without saying anything and inviting her to the room.
Although I have had one conversation with Reatrice, this is the first time I have ever officially faced each other as emperor.
It makes me strangely nervous.
Apparently that was getting on his face, Viola said with a sneering grin.
"You may not mind the formality, because His Majesty himself does not like such a robust exchange"
"Do you mind not kneeling or anything?
"Yeah, I think if you rather kneel badly, you can step on your head."
Listen to that, your sister and Fran are blowing out.
Probably, you really do.
So I stepped in between my eyes in the nature of the way I always do.
At the time I saw the lavish doors, I was guessing, but the very high ceiling and the mural painted there first caught my eye.
At your feet, a red carpet with a good foothold.
The sense of "luxury” around here doesn't seem to change as much in our world as it does in other worlds.
And this is the lord of the room - that is, a hobby of the emperor Liatris, or a bunch of ornaments with a slightly higher gold component.
Is it because I am a common man who thinks that if I were one of them, I would be able to play and live my whole life?
While we learn heartburn to the violence of gold filling the room, we approach the immense throne, which should also be called its aggregation.
There was a girl waiting for her in what looked like a great pose, wearing a rough crown as if she had been made by collecting jewels, elbowed and legged on the throne.
Obviously a cloak longer than her height further accentuates her great ”yes” atmosphere.
The point is not ”great” but ”great”.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks like a smiling sight desperately stretching back because Leatrice herself looks like a totally little girl.
"Three...... no, now we have all four"
Liatrice's gaze is turned behind us.
Turning around, there was a figure of Xynia who would have been summoned by Viola as well.
Did you even take a nap? My hair is blurred and I am even yawning. It looks terrible.
Still, I can't blame you, so it seems true that the reputation of the Empire is a free country.
"Xynia, you look like you're sleeping, but what were you doing with Crypt?
"Huh... I want you to make fun of me for not doing anything."
"To Kihiko. Ah, hiya."
Xynia clutches Francus' cheek.
Even when he sees such interaction, Riatoris just laughs in a good mood.
Is it broad-minded or appropriate?
Still, it is true that the Empire has grown significantly in the last few years.
Otherwise it wouldn't have developed into a war with the kingdom in the first place, and I'm sure of your strength as emperor.
"Well, is it time to get down to business?
"Ah, go ahead. We're on our own."
"Hmm, then. As you know, Krypt was injured and the Fourth Gen. 's frame was empty for one person. After discussing how to bury it with Viola..."
Liatrice's gaze captures me.
No way......
We were talking about whether Misaki was the right man.
I can't hide my confusion because I'm suddenly told the story.
"... eh, me?
I accidentally pointed to my own face, what a cotecote reaction.
But it's true, if you ask me, that three of the Four Generals were called here, except for me.
That's not why I'm convinced I've been elected fourth general.
"Wait! I'm like the first person to step into the empire a few days ago, aren't I?
"I know."
"Then how can I be the Fourth General? How dare you talk about it!
"Is there a problem?
I don't know, I can say it all flat out.
All of a sudden, a stranger becomes the Fourth General, and there's no way the people can convince you.
Like a crypt, without being able to control the army.
I'm telling you, I didn't make the right decision.
"Then what is it based on..."
"No matter what I scratch, I understand as much as I can't find a replacement for the crypt. As you can see, the other three work outside of battle."
Sure, I don't think I can do deskwork or anything at all.
But your sister is smart, so if you tell me, she'll be wearing it soon.
"Then shouldn't we be looking for the right people?
"That won't be too late after the fight. What the Empire needs now is a spiritual pillar."
"I don't know more and more"
Are you serious about that?
A penetration enters from an unexpected direction.
I didn't expect Xynia to say that.
Continuing, Fran and her sister mentioned something similar.
"With the mysterious anima that saved the Empire, the people of the town talk about it. He's not out there. You wouldn't know Misaki. Doh."
"Cape is now the savior of the Empire."
"When, or why..."
"Naturally, remember what you did"
At that time, I was full of heads to save Lily and Ellea and kill the three of them.
I didn't even think about saving the Empire, but it's definitely true that it turned out that way.
"How brave are the inhabitants and soldiers that its Savior will reach the rank of Fourth General, just that. Many are unexpected, it doesn't matter if they're just figurines. If only you'd take it."
I haven't been left for another month until Anima of the Kingdom attacked me.
In other words, until then, stand as an idol for the morale of the people.
Easy job, but heavy loads.
In the first place, why should I take on trouble for the Empire?
There's something else I want to do.
"One, can I put a condition on it?
"If you agree, I'll give you anything but life."
"I'm in trouble. I want my life."
"Well, whose life do you want?
Apparently, Riatoris had predictions, he said with a thin grin.
If you know what I mean, I don't think you need to bother asking me back.
Perhaps she wants me to say it out of my mouth.
"Could you please make the lives of the six people who have been in exile from the Kingdom my favorite (...)?
Aside from what's fun about it, try to express it as plainly as possible to suit her tastes.
It's not enough to just kill.
Ravage, ravage.
That was the condition, including until that permission.
"Cape now, something just freaks me out watching..."
Your sister is shaking her body next to me for some reason.
It's not cool. Oh, not at all.
"Kuhahahahaha! It's still a pleasure. I said something similar the other day, why hate them so much"
"It's simple, because I hate you as much as I want to kill you"
"It's simple. But if that's the condition, do as you please. But you're gonna have to clean your own dirty room, right?
That's tough.
When blood and organs creep up, you can't take them inside.
But now we have the stage to kill them with no hesitation.
"Is it good, Your Majesty?
Viola advances as she approaches through the door.
"What's up, Viola?"
"Six people - no, one is useless, so is it five? I wondered if it would be preferable for them to use their precious anima and lose their power to fight the coming kingdom."
When they say that, I can't say anything about it.
In fact, it looks like he was pretty active in the imperial defense, and if he survived, he'd be pretty active.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not that difficult.
Above all, ethically, it is more right to stop people who have declared that they will kill as many as six people.
I was wondering if Reatrice would change her opinion as well - or not.
Surprisingly, she kicks ass at Viola's words.
"I think it would be more effective to motivate Masaki to sacrifice five people than to take advantage of five boring anima users, but what does Viola think?
"... I see. When they say that, it's the latter."
"Would it be? So there's nothing wrong with that."
Viola pulled back lighter than she thought.
Apparently, she did not advance in ethics, but simply suggested which one was to be gained for the Empire.
I mean, he said he didn't care about the lives of the displaced.
Always this guy is crazy about the outlook on death, at all.
I can't talk about people.
◇ ◇ ◇
After watching, I was pleased to be able to work together as a Fourth General, and sent my obedient sister to my room once.
Because there was a place I wanted to go first.
As you descend downwards through the enclosed grounds and past the dim basement staircase, it's a wider dungeon than a common castle.
There are hardly any prisoners in the humid, steamy cells right now.
This place, spicy and quiet, is going to be disgusting just to be there.
On the other side of such an iron lattice in the dungeon, Roppei was holding his knee and sitting up pounding.
"Long time no see, Roppei."
I speak to her with a crop smile.
Rohei glanced at me as he slowly raised his face.
"I killed... I killed Ku-chan..."
Apparently, you recognize me as a vendetta for killing my best friend.
You resent me under that circumstance, Hanaya. You feel superb here.
As much as I'd really like to beat him to death on this occasion, but that's as long as I keep it for the last time.
I didn't come to the dungeon to kill her.
What you do is ”pawn” her.
Enter your mind, hang your feed and use it conveniently.
"Mr. Roppei, don't get me wrong."
"What a misunderstanding! I killed you, I killed you right in front of me. Oh!
Gah, gah, gah!
When she stood up, she grabbed the iron lattice with momentum and rocked.
Bossy hair, open, unfocused eyes, and an ugly look as if it had been attached to evil spirits.
If you audition for a horror movie, you're going to pass in one shot, you don't have any more talent as an actor.
Now, in order to pull through Roppei, I decided to quickly show off the bait I had prepared.
It's a very cheesy crop, but she must be able to fool you right now, convinced.
Sasakse would be alive.
"... to?
"Actually, it was sneaky. I recovered it and protected it."
"There's no way I can do that!
"I can, because I know a lot of great people in the empire. Besides, I now have power as a fourth general. There's nothing I can't hide if I'm alone."
"Oh, no! 'Cause there's a reason..."
I thought it would come, and I've got a good reason for it.
Sounds like a good reason to believe Roppei right now.
"I... lost my childhood."
"If you're talking about Nan, White Stuff didn't kill him!
"I'm not the one who killed him, it's Mizuki! Why do I have to kill the colorful flowers?
"It's..."
"I was set up. Mizuki killed the colorful flowers and pushed the sin on me. So the only way to survive was to escape from jail and escape from the king's capital..."
It's a real act, though.
Well, I'm not half acting when it comes to colorful flowers.
"That's why I understand the spiciness of losing childhood"
When I say naggingly, the prick disappears from Roppei's expression.
All right, looks like you ate well into the bait.
"So you helped Ku-chan...?
"Yeah. But... I couldn't be intact"
"Eh... you left some sequelae"
"My throat hurts, and I can't talk to you again. All this could not be done with Anima"
Don't talk. I'll make up a reason.
No matter how much you disguise it, you can't copy it to its contents.
We need to crush even one possibility of suspicion.
"Still... you're alive, aren't you? Me, Ku, you'll see me right!?
"I'll bring him in now, just give him a minute. But it's not good if the castle soldiers find us. I'll keep an eye on him, so Sasakse will be on his way here alone. And I have to go home after five minutes to be safe, and that's all you can protect me from?
"Okay, I'll definitely protect you! So hurry up...... let me see you properly!
I leave the dungeon once and move to a place where her eyes are out of reach.
Perhaps there is still doubt in her.
But the desire to meet Sasakse is overwhelming.
Because a person in a decent mental state shouldn't mean anything to a mask with a burning blade like this.
"Skill Activated (Boot), Dear Friend (Swindler)"
When I declare that, my appearance turns to Sasakse as I look at it.
The only thing I'm worried about is that Sasakse, who I know, was the only one who looked like him when he was in Wang Du?
I hope I didn't cut my hair and change my image after contamination.
All you have to do is kill me if they notice, the status quo I'm in is the same.
Still, it still makes me nervous to say the moment of revelation - I swallowed your spit and I showed up before her.
Light returns to Roppei's eyes, and there are zero large tears.
"Khu-chan... Khu-chan... Huh!
Rohei wants to touch his body, or he is desperately reaching out from between the iron lattices.
When I touched that hand, I was drawn to it with great force and wrapped my right arm around it with both hands.
And I rub my hands over and over again to make sure that I do have an entity.
"Oh, Ku-chan... it's warm, Ku-chan's hand, it's warm and hey..."
I don't know, so keep a smile on your face.
Then Roppei's expression collapsed even further and he finally couldn't stop crying.
Oh, I guess this is an inspiring reunion for Roppei.
For me, it's so farcical that I want to laugh out loud by accident, haha.
Five minutes seemed like a long time to me and a short time to Roppei.
Telling her in gesture that the time limit was here, she repeated, "I'll see you again, won't I? I said."
I'll snort a few times and leave the dungeon. [M]
And unlock your skills immediately.
He returned to his original appearance and appeared before Roppei.
"Mr. Roppei, did you believe me now?
When asked for confirmation, she promptly answered me.
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you! I believe you! So let me see you! Right!?"
Doubts about me have disappeared completely.
Sasakse's presence was so great for Roppei.
You must not even think of me as being disguised by my skills anymore. [M]
Besides, even if she suspected it was probably a disguise, Sasakse is right in front of her - and she'll try to believe in a reality that's convenient for her.
"Of course I do. But I have a position too, and if you find out you're protecting Sasakse, your position in the Empire will be in jeopardy."
"It's..."
That's bait, I can't feed it for free.
I don't know, I have to get something in return.
"That's why I want Rohei to follow my instructions in the future."
"But I was put in a cabin."
When I showed the key in front of Liuping, I inserted it into the key hole in the cell.
The cell opens with the sound of saying kachiri, and the sinner is released.
"I have clearance upstairs. Of course, if I show you a treacherous gesture of betrayal, you'll be put in jail again."
"But seriously, if you work hard, you can see Ku-chan...?
"I told you earlier, even Sainse wants to see Roppei. If you just follow my instructions, I'll definitely see you again."
Rohei nodded honestly to my slightly high-pressure words. [M]
This is what pawns can do.
And then you drive your values crazy with a little bit of drugs named Sasakse.
I'm sure as long as you're hanging the bait, you'll follow my orders faithfully.
- But the truth is, you don't expect her to work that far.
Roppei just needs to walk around it.
As I became the fourth general as a figurine, she was asked to become a "pathogen” as a figurine.
If the traitor is free to act, suspicion spreads among the remaining five.
It can be a seed of discord.
The mindset differences that have arisen should eventually twitch them down.
In other words, the presence of Roppei - the first fabric stone to kill them like no other.
