"Welcome, Cultivator, Warrior, and Gourmet Warrior Phytis. Welcome, my name is Rostam. King of this kingdom with the title" Emperor Warrior. "

There was a man with the style of a king.

Brown skin, dark hair, and a smile on your mouth are your absolute confidence in your existence.

We arrived at the castle and were guided to a meeting place.

The Emperor, who was sitting on a throne that had already been prepared for him in a different seat from the round table at the Demon King Castle, greeted us with a welcome greeting.

"Long time no see, Rostam. Let me tell you how well you invaded our country the other day."

"Such skirmishes will always be the case. Above all, there is information that you may have been captured by the Demon King Army. Until we tried to recapture the Warrior's land before it was taken over by the Demon King."

"It's okay if you get out. This time, I have to ask you for a lot of help."

That said, Amanes sat in her seat without cowardice, and I, Phytis, and Hell followed her eyes.

First of all, I need to talk to you about the hostages you're holding.

"Hostages?"

An emperor brave enough to wonder what was going on with Amaness's first topic.

This guy, just because he's a bit of an emperor, I'm a little bit chicken in this attitude.

"Don't be stupid! That's Lily you've got!

When I realized it, I accidentally hit the emperor in front of me.

In response to my anger, the emperor just gave a quiet glance.

The moment he was fascinated by those cold eyes, he remembered the feeling that his anger had frozen instantly until just before him, and the emperor smiled slightly as if he had seen it through.

Ah, you mean the Beast Warrior. I mistook her for a hostage. She is one of our brave brethren. I'm not going to make it a prisoner. If you want, I'll let you see her right away. "

I felt the Emperor's brave declaration of liberation was too light, and I felt the other way around.

"What are the terms? I don't think you're going to let go of me anymore."

"This is a suspicion again. I don't want to do business with you. I just wanted to have a conversation."

"Dialogue?"

"Let's be straightforward. You're under my command."

No!

"No, sir."

"But I refuse."

Without further ado, we all refuse the proposal from the Emperor Brave.

In contrast, the Emperor was not particularly offended, but rather laughed joyfully.

I see, I see. Well, when you meet someone, you suddenly put it under someone. Let's put some conditions on it. "

That's how Emperor Rostam looked at me again. There was something interesting about it.

"Cultivator, if you're going to come to me, I'll give you all three of my world tree species."

It was literally a condition of disqualification that meant achieving my purpose.

I wonder how much emperor temperament this man is when he cuts a trump card in his hand.

"That's a thankful condition, but it tastes good and goes under someone... Aren't you supposed to call me because you want the seeds of the world tree?

At least that letter was written in such a way that we were interested in the three species we had.

But in contrast, Rostam smiles strangely.

"Well, it's easy to manage if you have it, but it doesn't matter where it is. Because in the end, it's going to be exactly what I want."

What's that supposed to mean?

"Then, as a hold on your reply, I will grant you asylum in my country by going down to my gate for the Warrior. Do not hesitate to use our troops in the fight against the Demon King army. Of course, the territory is fine as it is. Don't you think it's a condition of disqualification?

"No, I don't want to go underneath anyone. Even if my territory remains intact, I don't like worms that you control. Besides, a ceasefire was signed with the Demon King Army for a while. I don't see the benefit of going out with them right now."

I see. That's a shame. "

The look on Rostam's face was distorted not by the fact that he was kicked off his proposal, but by the conclusion of an armistice with the Demon King army.

"Well, Fitness. I won't say anything about you at the end."

…………

Yes, when the Imperial Champion called out to Phytis, a subtle air flowed.

You two know each other? And the moment I thought so, it was shocking and proven.

"After all, you're my fiancée."

Yes?! Fiancée?!

That's my fiancée, isn't it?!

While I was so confused by myself, my party, Fitness, responded more clearly.

"As I told you before, I have no intention of doing that. I'm not going anywhere but the side I admit."

Fitness tangled into my arm to show that attitude clearly.

The Emperor's gaze shifted again from Fitness to me.

I see. I didn't expect you to be so proud of someone. Surprisingly, it's worth it, something that attracts others. "

That's how the Imperial Brave observes me.

There was no gaze that looked down on me, it was simply an interest and observation of my existence and a gaze to explore what was behind it.

"Hmm, but it would be interesting to see him right away. I didn't intend to, but when people like you got desperate, I was curious about how to get up from there."

I don't know about it, but I'm rather not happy because it looks like I got this person's glasses.

'Cause he's definitely going to say, "I love you, you're going to kill me last," and he's going to give you a test named despair with joy.

That's what I do. It's no-sense!

"So the negotiations are broken, so what do we do next?

Amaness asks the Emperor Brave, who refused all of his invitations to us, but Rostam leaves his back on the throne somehow pleasantly.

I see. I was supposed to finish showing my face here and declaring war, and start the war on you again at a later date, but I changed my mind. "

That changes the atmosphere of the Emperor's brave.

From the atmosphere of the king who sat meaningfully on the throne until then, to that of the emperor who swallowed everything.

"Let's start the war from this moment on. I want all of you. So let me take it from you with all my might. What a simple story."

It's not a very abrupt declaration of war, but it's a sign of war.

But there was one of them who acted far ahead of the Emperor Brave, who signaled the beginning of the war.

Well then, let me drop you here now.

“Warrior Brave” Amaness.

Preemptive action, also known as electrolithography, creates countless weapons from her surroundings at the moment she thought she immediately touched the floor.

Many high-quality weapons made of marble on the spot, they instantly give you time to breathe and head for the Emperor's Champion.

Too quick to respond. Without even giving him the time to deal with it, the Emperor's champion was drunk by his own declaration of war and was supposed to fall in front of the weapon that Amance had unleashed.

"Yes, it is."

In an instant, the wind, like a thunderbolt, shot down all the weapons that Amanes should call electrolithography.

A person who smashes down all of my weapons and crushes the sword in his hand as if it were a glass masterpiece.

The moment I saw the “person”, my heart seemed to freeze instantly.

"We were talking about the prisoner you were talking about earlier, but as I said, there are no prisoners here. If you want, I'll let you see him like this. However..."

I should have noticed.

No, if it were true, I'd have noticed it somewhere in my heart. You should have known.

This could have happened.

"Whether she will return to you or not is another story."

Standing there was a girl reminiscent of a golden beast.

Our companion Lily, the "Beast Warrior”.
