Hi, it's Kyo.

It is slightly annoying now.

Ah, no, I'm calming down about the Emperor's case, and I've already started strategizing how to retaliate against him with my inner quiet anger, so there's no problem.

The problem is with the other side.

The truth revealed earlier by Lily's brother, Mr. Kurogane.

Listening to Lily's secrets, I am angry now.

If this is the truth, that's what he's trying to do.

Oh, no. The emotional part is too strong to deal with calmly.

In the meantime, I need to see him and say a word.

Don't lick me!

That said, I held my fist to suppress my anger, but I was worried that it was found out around me.

"It's okay, oniichan. In the meantime, I'll go back to the Demon King Castle, move the rest of the Four Heavenly Kings and all the Demon King armies, invade the Empire, and chop off the head of that emperor ♪"

My sister says things with a smile. Is that what you said to the daughter of the demon king as one of the Four Heavenly Kings?

But once we return to the Demon King Castle, it may be the best course of action. I plan to stop by a few places before that.

I see. In the meantime, let's move toward Demon King Castle. So, Rock, can I ask you something?

Yeah!

Rock responds energetically and transforms into a seamlug figure. We get into the back, and the other monsters that rendezvous here also get in.

At that time, Mr. Esther was shouting at Jack as he stepped into Rock's back.

"Jack... be careful."

"Don't worry about it. Miss Esther, I'll be right back. Please let me eat Miss Esther's dishes."

That's what Jack says when he says goodbye so he looks cool, but I think it's a death flag for Moro.

Kyo-san Lily, please. "

Finally, Mr. Kurogane asked me about Lily, and I nodded greatly.

"Leave it to me. I'll get him back."

So far away from this land, we headed for the direction of the Demon King Castle.

"Even so, brother. Once again, don't be afraid of the depth of your connection."

"Huh? Suddenly what, Jack?"

"That's what I said. My brother has such a deep bond not only with humans, but also with us monsters. Perhaps you're the only brother who has such a broad bond between humans and monsters and between these two species."

That's what Jack told me, and I thought it might be.

The monsters of this world were as if they had been prepared to be hunted by humans.

The evidence is that there are no vegetables in this world, no food, no weapons, no supplies, no monsters.

In other words, people cannot live without hunting monsters.

I think it's a heresy that can't have ties to both people and monsters in that world.

"... hmm?

But at that moment, I thought to myself,

It was too obvious to even question it.

There are no vegetables in this world. But if you defeat the monster, people can secure food and even improve their lives.

It's as if the reason people defeat monsters is set out as a matter of fact.

It's like there's something hidden in the roots of this world.

"Oniichan... brother! There seems to be something strange about Demon King Castle."

But my thoughts were blocked by Hell's voice.

I saw a human army attacking Demon King Castle.

"That flag... looks like a soldier from the Albours Empire."

It is the army of the Empire ruled by the Imperial Brave.

I saw troops, possibly the advance party, already engaged.

The fact that they are here means that they passed through the Valkyrian kingdom without Amanes and attacked us.

The Valkyrian kingdom may have fallen in the worst possible way, but I don't think it's easy to say how much Amaness is absent there in a few days.

Perhaps he has bypassed the place where he stands in the cage castle, but the worst case needs to be considered when considering the ability of the Imperial Champion.

We hurried to the sky above Demon King Castle, where we entered the interior of the castle and rendezvoused with Jesus, who was in command in the courtyard.

When she saw us coming back, she looked surprised for a moment, but smiled as if she was relieved immediately, but as soon as she saw that there was no Phytis around us, she suddenly blurted and looked anxious. Hmm, this is a very eye-catching child with changed expression.

"Ah, um... Phytis... what...?

"... he was captured by the Emperor. But I'll go get it right away. To do that, let's start with the interception of these guys who are attacking the castle."

Say, I'll check the outside of the castle from the outer wall.

There, the walls of ice that Jesus would have built were closed around the castle, and soldiers were stuck in front of the walls of ice.

"I'd like to ask you, all four heavenly kings. How long can you beat an army like that?

I asked Hell, Jesus, Al Card and Spin behind me.

"Kukuku, who are you talking to, brother? Kill all those guys in 30 minutes."

"Well, I don't think it's a problem if one of us comes forward. After all, the enemy seems to be an advance party."

"If it takes us all, it probably won't take 10 minutes."

"Ah, um... I'm just... fighting... well..."

"Oh, I know. It's enough for you to focus on your defenses."

Probably her personality too, but her magic is more of a defensive type.

Then there is no problem. After we get rid of them, we'll start declaring war and invading the Empire again.

As soon as I tried to take command, I saw someone appearing instantly between the advance party and our castle.

"That's...!

It was undoubtedly a courageous man named Tsurugi, a servant from the Emperor who appeared in the conference room of this Demon King Castle.

Next to it was the warrior Amaness.

"Hello, Kyo-san. It's been a long time."

It reached my ear despite the wonder and the voice of Tsurugi being far away.

And as if to react to it, Amaness, standing next to her, slowly turns around.

Oh no. Should we see this possibility in the hands of the Emperor...!

This is the worst reinforcement I've ever thought I could handle.

The moment Amanes raised one hand to us and hit it on the ground, countless weapons born from the earth were thrown at the advance party of the Empire, which spread countless behind her, and the emperor's army was instantly destroyed by that blow.

Heh?

I raised my voice unexpectedly in a lot of situations.

Amaness makes a loud announcement to me with a well-received voice.

"You've kept me waiting! Cultivator! Warrior Warrior Amaness! Look here! Gin! Gin!!

Say it, Amaness with her chest stretched.

Uh, yeah, that's definitely a real amaness.
