The Knights, led by Stella, asked about the Lords' Hall at the same time as the dawn.

Considering it's going to be a fight, it's more convenient at night.

But even if we knew that the Lords would honestly not respond to the audit, we can't just step in without asking questions.

We have to go through formal procedures.

Therefore, nocturnal ambushes are not established.

"What, you guys?

A gatekeeper in the Lords' Hall notices the stellars and takes a spear to seal the gate.

"I am Stella Emplace, part of the Horizon Knights Branch. This is my associate and collaborator."

"The Knights...?

"Now we're auditing the Lords' Hall! Be quiet and clear the way."

"Audit? Stupid, such a thing..."

"If you resist, I will not forgive you. Now, clear the way!

"Ho, are you serious...? You're imitating the Lord..."

"Our Lord is not a lord, but a king. We decided that an act was being committed against the king. Accept the audit honestly or turn us, the Knights, against our enemies... DECIDE!

With perseverance, Stella presses the gate soldiers to retreat.

As pushed by that pressure, the gate soldiers step back.

"Oh, such a thing..."

"Come on, what do we do!?

Stella poked her sword at the lost gate soldier so that she could make no push.

The gate soldier takes another step, back off.

Would that have made up your mind?

Stella with such expectations...

"Eh."

New, I heard multiple footsteps.

Seeing it, there are armed men flooded from the hall.

There were so many of them that it would be bothersome to count.

"Again, this is what happens..."

"Ma'am, you could have predicted that, right?

"It's okay because we're here!

"I'm sorry, can I count on you?

"" Leave it to me!

Canade and Tania set up.

Following the two, Stella also laid her sword... and the other knights pulled out their swords.

――――――――――

He turned to the back of the building and broke into the interior.

At the same time, the table became noisier.

Apparently, Stella and the others have started entering.

With Canade and Tania, I don't think it's going to be very rare...

Still, I'm worried about something I'm worried about.

Let's finish this job and rendezvous.

"Sola, Luna. Can't we explore where the hostages are?

"Leave it to me"

"Phew, that kind of thing, if it comes to me, is before breakfast!

"Luna, don't shout out loud. Now, even though people are focused on the table, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have a lookout."

"Well, I don't think it's sexually appropriate to fuck around."

"Before infiltration, who told you to leave it to me..."

I'm not nervous at all.

But thanks to you, I can calm down and think of something.

"Fair enough. Let me show you my power. Come on, scratch it!

"So stop shouting"

"Phew."

Pasin, and Sola snapped Luna's head.

"My sister, you're a violence... horrible"

"Just hurry up."

"I know you do. Hmm... right, is this magic the best? Material Search!"

Luna casts her magic and something like a wave of light spreads around her.

"It's... magic to detect the magic flow, was it?

"Hmm? You know what?

"Before, Tania used it."

"I see. Well, it's easy magic to handle. We're not the only spirits, we can handle dragons without problems."

"With that magic, how do we get a hostage location?

"Big and small, magic is something anyone has. And, perhaps, those taken away will be gathered in one place. It's inefficient to keep them trapped in pieces. Then by examining the magic reaction…"

"... you know where the people who were taken away are,"

"Hmm... they've taken over the key dialogue"

Luna obstinate like a child.

Maybe he shouldn't have spoken out because he described it as lively.

"I'm sorry. Now I'll be careful."

"Absolutely, huh? You're not supposed to imitate me, are you?

"So... how was the result?

"Hmmm......"

Luna looked difficult.

Could it have been unresponsive...?

That means the people taken away were not in the hall... transferred elsewhere, or already...

For a moment, I anticipate the worst development.

"There were numerous magical reactions underground. Probably someone who was taken away."

"What, I could find it"

"Don't put it in a lot of ways. I thought it was weird."

Apparently, Sora thought the same thing about me.

I spilled my exhale in relief...... then protested Luna.

However, Luna looked uncomfortable somewhere.

"Mmm."

"What's going on? Something bothering you?

"No... Actually, there was another magic reaction"

"A lord... isn't it my son's?

"No, you mean too much magic for that... this isn't human magic. A hell of an amount, comparable to ours."

"That's..."

Could... the strongest species be here?

"Where?

"Given the distance and direction, Hmm... on the third floor of the building, to the east, etc."

"Rayne, what do you want to do?

"Yeah, right."

Think.

The most powerful species, or comparable bearers of magic, are in this hall.

Are you hostile to us?

Or are you the victim of a lord, just like the people who were taken away?

I have no information at all, so I have no choice.

Let's think in a different direction.

I don't know if you're on the enemy's side, but there's no doubt that there are those with mighty magic.

Leaving it like this... is bad.

I don't mind if I'm on your side.

but if it was an enemy, there could be tremendous damage.

You'll need to make sure.

"... All right. Can Sola and Luna ask for the rescue of the people they took away?

"Yes, that's fine. Sola and the others can also use metastatic magic to get the people they've taken away to safety."

"It's just, what's Rayne gonna do?

"I'm gonna go check on another magic reaction. You can't just leave me alone."

"No... it's dangerous! You have no idea what they are, do you? The magic of being comparable to Sola and the others… If you are a hostile opponent, Rain is in danger."

"I disagree, too. Drive the Lord to a dangerous place, and we will not have a relaxing demon in a safe place. I'll take care of it."

"Thank God. You worry about me."

"Ah."

"Huh."

I stroked their heads.

Dye your cheeks at the same time and be quiet.

"But I can't let the one who's been taken get away with it safely. I depend on the magic of the two of us."

"But..."

"I won't be impotent, I promise. I'm just gonna go check on what's going on."

"... is that true? Can you promise me you won't be impotent?

"I promise."

……

Sola and Luna, stare at this one...

Slightly, he exhaled like he'd given up.

"You have no choice... the Solas know that this happened to Rain, but it doesn't work"

"Oh man. Our Lord is stubborn and troubled. There is also the issue of role sharing, but can't we complain when it comes to acting in a way that does not endanger us?"

"But I hope that sounds like Rayne..."

"It's such a lane that we can trust"

"Again, I say. Never be impotent."

"If I break my promise, I'll do it a hundred times. Watch out, man! Ok!?

"I know, I won't do anything to betray you two"

Laugh softly to reassure you both...

I went in one direction and climbed the stairs.

――――――――――

I arrived on the third floor.

Travel eastward that there has been a powerful magic reaction.

"Is this neighborhood... a warehouse"

One by one, check the room and go around.

There are many rooms where things are cluttered up.

Perhaps there is evidence of the Lord's wrongdoing that Stella and the others seek.

To teach later, I remembered the place exactly.

"At the end..."

Look around the room...

I reached the third floor of the hall, the room in the deepest part.

Originally, it must have been a normal room, no different from the others.

However, signs of renovation were seen.

The door is framed with an iron lattice so that you can see what's inside.

The entrance is sturdy locked and people are prohibited from entering and leaving.

It feels more like a cell than a room.

Get close so you don't make footsteps...

Gently, peek inside from the iron lattice.

"……………"

On a thin dirty futon, a girl slept in a neat condition.

Like a fox, pins and pointy ears.

There are three blocked tails.

Definitely.

Being called God of the Beast......

One of the most powerful species, the Divine Nation.
