Day 15 of the month of water. Belle, who was to be allowed to keep him at Mr. Lilia's mansion, was also used to life and became completely close to the servants.

And now I'm on my way back to Alice's grocery store, where I've had more chances to go lately.

That's also because of all the things that happened when I was there before... I forgot to ask about Alice's plans.

Chlo told me I wouldn't mind anytime, but it would be better as soon as I could.

Normally, you should probably assume that you don't have to worry about your life for the time being because you've earned a lot of money before... but they are that Alice. Looking away for a moment, that was all gone gambling at some point, I'm afraid something's going to happen.

Strange discomfort appears when you go down the road and out on a slightly larger street.

Looks like it went through a thin membrane...... hard to explain but I learned that feeling.

I tilted my neck and tried to move my gaze around, but there was nothing in particular. The road was quiet, and I decided to proceed with my legs even though I felt uncomfortable.

Moving on for a while, around saying it would soon plug into a street with a grocery store... discomfort turned into something more intense.

... not unlike anyone else. At this hour, on this road?

It was obviously an anomaly to say that there were usually stores around here that were busy and that no one was around.

Looking around with anxiety in mind, the direction of travel… Three shadows approach from the end of the road.

A woman with red, long hair and a large spear that exceeds her height, a woman with a huge shield on the exact same face as that woman except her hair is short...... is she a twin?

And a blue-haired man with a sword resembling a Japanese sword behind it... feels very bad. It's like sensory magic is reading emotions... and I see disgusting emotions that resemble hostility being directed at me.

When the three of them walk up to me, they open and stop for a few meters and the twin women step forward.

"Name's ETA."

"His name is Theta."

"The King of War, Megid's use."

"Huh!?

The woman with the big spear named her ETA, and the woman with the big shield named her Theta.

The use of the King of War? So these three are called Demons?

I don't know, I only have a bad feeling... at least from what I've heard about the King of War so far, I don't feel good about it.

"Master Megido wants to see you."

"Let's have them come with us"

……

After all, that kind of talk... sure, Crowe said the King of War wasn't much of a talker.

While I feel a cold sweat running down my back, I quietly ask the twin women.

"... what if I said I didn't like it?

"Don't get me wrong"

"Listen to your reply... no!

"Become!?

Say no, the woman with the big spear approaches me in a straight line and sticks out a giant spear.

Too fast and sharp a thrust, that blow that couldn't have caused it to get to me sooner... a shadow popped out of my rear.

"... ugh!?

"Mr. Sieg!?

Honestly, I didn't know immediately what was going on.

I don't know why Mr. Sieg is here, but the instant crossing of the Big Spear and the Double Sword couldn't be captured by my moving vision either.

The only thing I understood clearly was that Mr. Sieg's double sword was smashed with the loud noise and Mr. Sieg's body was slapped against a wall nearby.

Seeing that incredible sight, I immediately rush over to Mr. Sieg, who fell.

Mr. Sieg seems to be taking quite a lot of damage, shivering his body, looking at me and moving only his mouth "run away".

The woman with the big spear...... I didn't completely understand how awesome the blow of ETA was, but the vicinity of the roof of the building where Mr. Sieg hit was pierced in a circular shape with a radius of 1 m.

"... ho, inside, how brilliant skill. At the moment of the crossing, did you see the offsetting as impossible and show off my blow..."

Theta's grunting voice sounded clearer.

Mr. Sieg told me to run, but perhaps... no, no doubt I won't be able to escape the Thetas.

Auto counters are the only battle magic I can use, but that magic doesn't mean my powers will swell a few times.

An attack I can't see is inevitable, and naturally, it won't be possible to escape someone who moves at that speed.

I feel so angry that my intestines are boiling because I've been hurt by Mr. Sieg... I can't do anything about it.

While I realize my powerlessness, I stand forward to shelter Mr. Sieg.

I'm the one after these guys... I don't think I can talk to someone who's going to attack me all of a sudden, but there's no way I can hurt Mr. Sieg any more.

... do we have to follow adults...

"Theta, what do we do?

"All you have to do is live, cut off your limbs so you can't escape."

"Oh, let's do that"

"Huh!?

Big shield woman...... taking theta's word for it, eta spears at me again.

That attack is coming again... the moment I thought so, for some reason ETA and Theta jumped backwards, three sharp lines where they were just moments after... claw marks.

"Who is it!?

"... Hurt your husband? I mean... please tear it apart, that's what I'm talking about!!

"Anima!?

"It's late! Wonder Anima, I'm done in office and I'm back!

Someone who looks familiar and stands in front of me, wearing a black fur cloak.

That was the Rigforesian Guard joining us and it was Anima who broke up once.

"Anima...... how did you get here?

"Ha! I came 'run' the other day after the reorganization of the guard!

"... well"

Came running!? Rigforesia to this point!? I should have had to cross three mountains...

When I'm surprised by Anima's outrageous remarks, ETA and Theta stare at Anima with a slightly sharper look.

"The Beast Man? ETA, this guy... he's strong."

"Oh, it seems so. But there's a problem, if you're in two - what!?

ETA and Theta had some spare look on their faces about how much Anima could have stomped on the opponent if they had two.

But that look changes when you see the giant flames that hit you shortly afterwards, and you quickly split left and right to jump away from it.

The flame that flew from behind me... now there's only one behind me, and I definitely let it go...

"... to think, it was a shitty detention. But inside, how could it not be thrown away?"

"Huh?"

It was a gentle, warm voice somewhere in the Rin.

I hear footsteps and one shadow stands quietly before me.

Her hair, which was short hair, stretched around her shoulders, and the surrounding atmosphere had changed somewhere, but she couldn't possibly have misseen her afterwards.

The sword with only the pattern in its hand holds the shape of the blade as the red lotus flame sways, illuminated by the light of its flame, and the cedar hair also sways like a Yangtze.

"But if it's to protect you... let's throw away the stupid restraints that you've been holding unconsciously."

"... Sieg...? Could it be..."

"Yes, the fruit of the world tree, let me use it"

Mr. Sieg stares straight at ETA and Theta after telling him so in a beautiful voice.

Not only did Mr. Sieg's change have his hair stretched and his voice returned, but the magic surrounding him was also... obviously getting bigger.

No, rather than say it's grown... back to normal, maybe you're right to describe it that way.

Mr. Sieg then walks to the side of Anima and sets up a double sword made of flames.

"... I will fight too. Neither are you in perfect condition. And what we want to protect, what we need to protect… is the same."

"You... what did you say your first name was?

It's Sieglinde.

"... well... Lord Sieglinde, thank you for your support! Let's fight together!

"Yes!"

Claws stretched sharply, Anima screamed as she took a critical stance, and Mr. Sieg nodded strongly as he laid his double sword.

Dear Mother, Father - suddenly I was raided by the people who said I was the Messenger of the King of War. Eata using a large spear as a weapon, Theta setting up a large shield, and a blue-haired man showing no signs of movement. Now the battle has begun between the twin demons of ETA and Theta, and Anima and Mr. Sieg.
