"Ahhhhhh!

"It!"

I'll swing Amrita quickly at someone dressed as a soldier who's been attacked just a little further. I do think this guy was... um, assigned to this castle treasure trove. Did you come up from the basement to the second floor in a zombie-like state?

The soldier fell to the ground like a drop of Amrita was losing power at once.

"Wow, this is what the eagle looked like too..."

"Yeah, that's right."

Well, from what I've seen with my eyes from here, there's still about ten of us ahead. Some of them look like people from other countries. Didn't they just target people who lived in Castle Mephirado from the beginning, after all?

Come closer, I'll sprinkle Amrita gently to help you. Maybe with a young maid. I feel a little sorry for her because she made her face green. Looks like we're still here when we probe for magic with detection.... If this happens, I'll leave Amrita with the gatekeeper and Micah, and I guess I should go check on Kara.

"Hey, Micah. Can I ask you to stay? A lot of people are zombier than I expected... it's going to take five minutes at full speed, so I want to see Kara first."

"Okay, I'll take care of it!

"Then the eagle strives for the care of the fallen."

"Yes, please"

Before I told you to follow me, I really wanted you to accompany me a little deeper, but I couldn't help it. Because I'm frightened by myself and this. Micah and Mr. Gatekeeper, I left eleven people still stunned and headed to the room alone where Kara reacted.

"Wow..."

Shortly before my destination, I found quite a few people with discolored skin lying on the ground like they were on something. I don't think I killed him because I'm groaning. Hmm, this is the magic of the Minister's gravity. If I solve the zombification now, it'll just be crushed and painful, and I'll have this magic solved before I can help about twenty people on this scene.

Finally I put my hand on the door of the room where Kara would be.... locked from the inside. No, it feels like they're holding the door knob down, not the key. The zombies may come, but I just have to tell them that I'm here. I slammed the door gently, keeping my voice down and screaming.

"It's me, it's Alim! I'm here to help!

"Mm, Alim...!

It's Mr. Orgo's voice. Mr. Orgo's voice from the inside means you're safe in this room. Good.

"Mr. Orgo! I'm here with Micah to help."

"Hey Alim. Can I ask you one thing?

"What?

"... Which Alim are you?

Either way, I only have one... Oh, you mean that? That's him. That means they're gonna suspect it. I knew they were here. I don't know, can you send a message if it's fake? Shall I send it to Mr. Orgo?

[What's the right thing to say, you're the real one!

[Message.........! Well, maybe I should know better. Just get in there quick.]

Mr. Orgo only opened the door for as long as I could get through. It's pressing. That look clearly told me something unusual happened in this castle.

"Alim, where's Mika?

"Micah is having you all undone right now who seems to be manipulated by having my Amrita. I'm here to help you with the decorative reaction I gave Kara when it came to the demon gods."

"You can still put everyone back together with that potion."

"How many are safe?

"... it would be quicker to see"

When I asked him to go inside, in addition to Mr. Orgo, there were several other princes and princesses from other countries: Mr. Ruin, Mr. Lilo and Mr. Muli, Kara. There are a few others, but basically noble and royal children, or people who can't fight but are in a high position, are gathered in this room. Queen Karna or something. But Mr. Teal is not here.

"Alim......!

"Kara, hey!

Kara jumped at me. Apparently not one scratch, good. No, I wouldn't be able to wear it if I wanted to scratch it statefully.

"What happened? Here."

"... again..."

"Them again?

Kara nods.

"Oh well, then everyone out of the castle for now..."

"Oh, that Arim"

"Hmm?"

"The enemy is still in the castle..."

"Huh."

What? He said he's still in the castle? I couldn't detect it at all.... Yeah, speaking of undetectable, I couldn't feel the zombied and the finished helping people since I got here, and any magic other than Micah. Even Kara came to rely on a pendant to help her. What's going on? Was there an enemy executive who hadn't figured out his abilities yet?

Not good for that, I forgot to put an escort on Micah. If Micah showed up like a chaos black dragon, even Micah could easily be rendered powerless. If this happens......

"Then I get it. I can't detect why, but I'm gonna go around this castle and find them, and I'm gonna kill them all."

"... well, that just doesn't work! Alim is stronger than us, but still..."

Um, I wonder why this room, Mr. Ruin and Mr. Orgo, who should be able to fight, are also evacuating. Does that mean there was a chaos black dragon this time too? Then I feel like we could evacuate a larger number of people...
