The next morning.

I woke up with a morning kiss from Vargis, who said, "You can still sleep."When I looked at the window, it was not yet a time for the sun to rise, I could only see a little light from the mountains that I saw over there, and the rest was dark.Everyone else is asleep.

Vargis tries to get off the bed, but I grab that arm and hold it.

What's wrong?

"Um... Actually, my relationship with Ma-chan was leaked to me by the ministers.General Luna said so.Ma-chan's homosexuality is a scandal, right?So why don't you just forget about going to Oichan's curtain house every night?There are a lot of soldiers, and it's dangerous. "

I say it in as low a voice as possible.

Vargis closes his eyes a little.A while after I let go of Valgis's arm, Valgis answers.

"That kind of thing came out originally.I don't care about public opinion later.It's not something you care about.Come back tonight at your promised time. "

Eh, but...

Bye.

Ignoring me to stop, Vargis gets off the bed and leaves the room.

The light that slightly penetrates through the window makes the shadow that can be opened and closed by the door much larger.

When the shadow disappears and the wall is illuminated again, I breathe deeply.

"Yeah, it's okay if Mao-chan says so."

That's how I snap into bed again and fall asleep.

It was fine to float, but what if I do not float on the important day of the battle, I will sleep in bed because May sent me nails in advance.

◆ ◆ ◆

After we finish breakfast without Vargis, we go to the ground of the Arena of Demon King Castle.There were already hundreds of generals and commanders there.Here, each is scattered toward its assigned location.

"Well then, good luck. Onee-sama."

"Good luck with Alisa. I pray."

May wore high-ranking and splendid clothes, but still had a design that was supposed to be dirty, like a thick cloth dress with a slightly flashy red color.

Say hello to May, Natori, and Hagis, and each of them will disappear into the crowd.Hagis said, "It's not frozen, it's not frozen."Patience until the war is over.

I walked halfway with Radhika, who was assigned to my previous team, but Radhika said, "Bye."Radhika is General Matthew's aide, and I am the deputy general of the incoming unit, so Radhika is taller and in a completely different location.I am walking in search of General Luna, but I encounter a man in blue on the way.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were looking!"

"Aren't you Alisa?"

"Is this voice... Uhil-san!?"

I raise my face.The man who hid around his mouth with a blue cloth was undoubtedly the whale.

"It's been a long time, have you been assigned to the front?"

"Yes, I was appointed deputy general of the Rear Support Unit."

"Well, at best stay out of my way."

Mmm. When I look at Uhir, I get a little upset.I was told it was full of gaps, and I wonder what I am to Uhir.

"Ah," he stops and looks back, as Uhir remembered when he left.

"Remember, you're full of gaps.Even now, I can easily take you down. "

Ahhhhh, they're saying it again!

"Yes, I know."

I reply with a smile without hiding my anger.

"Well, backup will give you less chance to expose your weaknesses. Good luck."

"Yes, yes."

Uhir said this and left.I look upset behind it. I also decided to catch the famous enemy generals when I had the chance.Ah, that doesn't mean you want to kill people.

"Everybody gathered?"

Vargis, sitting on a large stage set in front of the arena, grabs a microphone and says.Even if you say Mike, it's not like in the previous life, it's a short wooden stick with a loudspeaker magic trick.The voice echoes throughout the arena.

Vargis hands over the microphone to General Matthew, who stands in front of him and says he is dealing with hundreds of generals with 600,000 troops.

"Let's begin the epic ceremony.As you all know, we will now invade the Kingdom of Wistaria, crush Quatch III and restore peace not only to this country, but to the world as a whole.Otherwise, there will only be more victims of Quatch III.For ourselves, for mankind, we must win. "

The generals raise their left arms together and raise their voices.

Thereafter, the epic ceremony will be carried forward by three men: Valgis, General Matthew, and Sophie.The march path was also explained.

Our army is half a million from the Kingdom of Harmony, of which 200,000 have surrendered from the Kingdom of Wistaria.There are 100,000 soldiers from other countries that make up the Federation of Demons, totalling 600,000.On the march, near the border with the Kingdom of Wistaria, we will join forces with soldiers from the Hadege Kingdom, one of the constituent states of the Federation.

This 600,000 troops are not the only ones to attack the Kingdom of Wistaria, which has 3 million troops.Other countries that make up the Federation of Demons form separate forces and invade the territory of the surrounding countries of the former Crow kingdom.Those forces are supposed to rendezvous at De Gu Nino.

In addition, the forces of the Gulpondouglad alliance, composed of veterinarians and dominated by Gulpondouglad, will attack simultaneously from the south.From the Grand Inno-Bi Empire, soldiers belonging to the exile government of the former Crow kingdom will join other human forces after heading for the King's Capital of the former Crow kingdom.Multiple human states in the south-east of the Kingdom of Wistaria will also be on our side and send some troops.They are supposed to meet in a place called Mihana, near King Ka 'Bassa.

So before we go to Casa Bassa, King of Wistaria, we will first go to De Gu Nino.Then I'll go all the way down south, through Estik, my birthplace, to Mihana, and finally to King Ka Bassa.The immediate goal will be De Gu Nino.

And the first city to invade will be Orhon, a place close to the Church of the Kingdom of Harmony.It will be a place closer to Harmony than Yuha.At the time of our exile, we did not stop because it was a route through the Kingdom of Hadege, but there is still a conflict across the border.The first challenge is to put an end to the conflict.

After the military anthem, the national anthem flows.I don't get to interact with the national anthem very often, but I have sung it once during the New Year's holidays.Since I remember the contents, I sang to the people around me.It wasn't too short, it wasn't too long, it was a song that praised Wenguis's parenthood and the victory of his country. There are numbers one, two, and three, but number two seems to have stopped singing since his time in Vargis, as it was designed to defy the brutality of human beings.I feel the flow of the times.

We, the generals, line up and leave the arena in order from the high-ranking backs, heading towards the 600,000 soldiers waiting south of the Great Wall surrounding King Wenguis.May is tall enough to enter number five in the rear, so he's probably at the top of the line.

Our former generals will also leave the arena and follow the lord Luna on the horse to exit the Demon King Castle, passing through the boulevard to the south gate of the Great Wall.On the way, residents are looking at us as they become wild horses.

The first time I heard a military anthem was during the epic ceremony of Radica when the Belgian army came in.I was offended when I thought it was a song that glorified war, but now it's not.We are being hunted down to the point where there is no alternative to war.What emerged from it was a feeling of hatred for the Kingdom of Wistaria's Kutch III, who drove us to a situation where we had to go to war, and sympathy for the soldiers who carried the fate of killing people.And now the inhabitants who are looking at us from the side of the road.Their lives seem to be in the hands of our expedition.

Leave the fate of this country to us.I didn't think I was going to show the public a bit of anxiety.So I held the rope tightly and moved forward.
