One afternoon, more than ten days after a hellish half-life questioning (Hanamamoru), Nanashi and the others, who walk with something that rips sand (Sand Spreader), stopped to see the moored fortress on the other side of Yangtze's swinging.

"Is that Pericles?

"Yes, my lord, it's the shape as Lord Mio told me. I was wondering if there might be a mistake."

Nanashi approached Fort Maneuver with caution as he nodded at the answer over his shoulder.

mooring right beside a small oasis. That's a shape that doesn't resemble any of the manoeuvre castle forts we've seen so far.

Is it also a teardrop type? In other words, it is shaped like that with one of the ovals pointed at a sharp angle.

"Looks like that's the main entrance."

As we slowly circled around the fortress of the manoeuvring castle, there was a large gate (gate) at the rear end, around the center of the circular part, from which we could see people turning over on the moving bridge (talap) that stretched to the oasis.

Unlike when we infiltrated Gergios, this is a visit as an official messenger.

You should be able to enter the castle through regular procedures through the main entrance without having to break through the walls.

Nanashi and the others descend to the back of the oasis so as not to be as conspicuous as possible, carrying (and spreading) what rips the sand on their backs, passing through the oasis to the main entrance of Pericles.

Probably not much time has passed since Pericles arrived at this oasis. Until now, the main entrance is ruined by those boarding and disembarking on Pericles.

Among the waves, Nanashi and Princess Sword lined up in the line of people entering the castle to Pericles.

In front of the gate, several guards have repeatedly questioned.

When the Nanashi and the others' turn came, the guard looked at Nanashi as a flyer, then confirmed the appearance of the sword princess and saw him sighing and loosening his cheeks.

"We would like to know your name and the purpose of Pericles' visit"

"Yes. I say Nanashi. Purpose…"

As Nanashi rushed to answer, the guard thrust Nanashi's shoulder.

"Don't go out on slaves' terms! I'm talking to your husband, lady!

Stared at by the guards, Nanashi noticed his mistake.

Because I have been treated as a person normally in Saratoga, I have forgotten that I am inherently a neglected, disdainful, and overlooked subject.

If I'm not shocked, I'm not angry either. It's just that I can't help myself.

leaked a loving laugh at the time of the repair (Tsukuruo). At that time, he noticed that his exhalation was white and cloudy, and Nanashi became wary.

Shit!

Turning toward the sword princess, she saw the ground at her feet crushing with a bump and something, starting to freeze.

"Colos, colos, colos, colos, colos, colos, colos, colos, colos..."

Hearing Princess Sword whine, Nanashi fades away.

"No, no, no!

At about the same time, the guard's screaming voice echoed around the front gate.

By the time Nanashi looked back in haste, the guards had already begun to freeze around his ankle.

"Hey! Princess Sword! No! Stop! No!"

But there's no way Nanashi's voice of restraint is reaching Princess Sword either.

No.... you are totally losing me.

The guards gathered one after the other surrounded Nanashi and the sword princess about to freeze around their hips and let out their swords.

Nanashi raises his hands as he looks around the sword forest surrounding the two of them in a faraway winding.

The shards are unconvincing because Princess Sword admires one of the guards, even though he appeals to them as harmless.

At that time.

"You guys! What are you doing there!

From the gazebo above the gate, a man with a stature at once raised his voice.

For a moment, the soldiers surrounding the Nanashi show frightening gestures. Apparently their superior officer.

"Yes, no, I'm sorry. There was a bit of a mistake."

When Nanashi raised his voice, he shouted at the man with the same physical appearance.

"Then I'd like you to unfreeze my men."

"Wow, I get it"

That said, Nanashi turns back to the sword princess.

Nanashi decides when she sees the sword princess who has forgotten me.

Embarrassing. But I have to.

Nanashi whispered in her ear as sweetly as she could, stroking her palm on the cheek of the sword princess.

"Maris, oh, my sweet Maris. Just calm down."

I thought I looked up hah, the sword princess stares at Nanashi with a decent eye after a moment of surprised expression.

is, embarrassing.

If Nanashi dies now, the cause of death is probably shame or stuffiness.

I could see the guard's icing slowly beginning to melt, but on the contrary, I could see the surrounding gaze falling below freezing.

"Are you okay? Maris."

"Hia, hia"

That being said, Nanashi dyes bright red with the momentum that the sword princess's face is likely to make a sound at that moment when she strokes the sword princess's cheek.

As she was, Princess Sword stared at Nanashi and hung her cheeks on his chest.

"Whoa ho!

At that moment, from the top of the walls, a man coughed truly deliberately, and Nanashi jumped one step back from the side of the sword princess, and the sword princess whispered, "Ah," to the remnants, and then glanced at the man.

"Explain what you mean, boy"

"I wasn't disturbing you. I say Nanashi.

I brought a letter to Dear Maraine as an Orthodox angel from Uncle Saratoga.

She followed me as my escort, Princess Sword of Silver Ridge. "

The surroundings stir together at Nanashi's words.

I cannot help but feel how the name of Princess Sword of Silver Ridge is known and known.

"Um, my apostle, excuse me. Master Maraine has spoken to me. Come through."

When a man of Gotsui stature said so sorry, he looked around to intimidate the guards surrounding the two, still vigilant, Princess Sword said.

"I still wonder if these rude guards should be educated. May I?

"Maris! Stop, because it's not nice at all!

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Nanashi's hard work has been on the overlap ever since.

When we arrived at Pericles Castle, we were equally stunned.

Specifically, the housekeeper (maid of honor) of the guide told Nanashi to wait on the table, making a gesture to get rid of even the sissy dog.

By way of example Nanashi is something I'm used to, and I don't think much about that, but that's not the case with the sword princess.

The housekeepers (maids) have very broken their bones to forgive the sword princess who tries to blow up every castle.

When Nanashi came to the reception room carrying a housekeeper (maid) who had completely lost her hips, she said, "Take your time! Leaving the word, the housekeeper (maid) leapt out of the reception room on all fours.

"Just disrespectful people! I think the Lord can be angrier!

The sword princess is indignant because of her body, such as her abdominal worm, which does not subside.

"Ha ha... That said, it's actually a worm (bug). I can't help it."

To Nanashi's words, the sword princess tried to say something.

Without withstanding the awkward silence, Nanashi walks up to the window and looks out.

Even though it's the same manoeuvre castle fort, the town looks very different.

As far as I can tell, Pericles saw a relatively large house with less greenery than Saratoga. Maybe there are a lot of wealthy people.

And on the other side of the house, we saw a huge, cylindrical building.

"What is it, that?

At the same time Nanashi muttered like that, he made a cackling noise and the door opened, and a girl came into the room alone.

White hair to the shoulder with nicely cut forehead, white skin as an absolute value, not that it is white as skin color.

Escalis Meermill's human-like red ball eyes stand out, and the girl even seems more approximate to the rabbit than to the human.

"... maraine"

When a strange girl says so, a tall housekeeper (maid) standing right next to her opens her mouth as if she were going to interpret.

"I am the next Pericles uncle Maraine du Chalis. And they say,"

Whatever you think, it's just a maraine, right?

Nanashi opens his mouth with a scratch like that in his chest.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Nanashi. Mio contacted me in advance..."

Where Nanashi said so much, Maraine turns her back (soaking) with Pui, and instead the housekeeper (maid) opens her mouth without expression.

"Shut up, worm, your ears are dirty. And they say,"

Nanashi gets stiff with Piscilli.

Nanashi himself doesn't think anything about this cursing rumor. The problem is with the sword princess.

Asked how the fearful sword princess was, she smiled tenaciously and found herself trembling in small pieces.

Whether you are aware of that change in the sword princess or not, Malene opens her mouth by turning to the sword princess.

"Silver Ridge Sword Princess... Rumors..."

"You're the famous Silver Ridge sword princess. I've heard rumors. They say."

"It's an honor..."

I heard my back teeth chirp.

Nanashi whispered with his face in the ear of the sword princess.

"It is unlikely that you will listen to me, so please explain to Lady Maraine, from the sword princess. And I'm fine, so whatever you say, never get angry. Nice."

The sword princess gives a complex look, but snorts and turns back to Malane.

"Quickly, as Lord Mio has asked in advance, there are those who are after the life of Uncle Pericles.

The person intends to vote guilty in Lord Mio's trial by killing Uncle Pericles and turning him into a golem without anyone noticing. We came here to stop it. To protect Uncle Pericles. "

After hearing Princess Sword's words pompously open her mouth, Maraine muttered with a bitter smile.

"Meaningless"

"It's a corner, but that's pointless.

Father should vote guilty without having to be made up.

There is no reason to act without the benefit of retreating His Majesty the King, who lost His Highness Fatima, even if it is called opportunism. They say. "

"By analogy, even if it was, wouldn't you be coming after Uncle Pericles to vote guilty without a doubt?

Malane shakes her head with a boom.

"Everyone knows that there will never be a father against His Majesty the King's will. Mio, then maybe you think I'm the one to convince your father, but it's actually an impossible story. They say."

"Isn't Lord Mio your alumni?

"Important"

"I'm a dear friend, but that's why my father couldn't have listened to me. There's nothing I can do. They say."

Nanashi was taken aback as he pressed silently behind the sword princess. It is not in the content of the story. This housekeeper (maid of honor) has spoken for himself.

There are so many people in the world. Nanashi thought so like other personnel.

"If you say you're a dear friend, something! Is there any way to convince Uncle Pericles?

The sword princess's voice becomes desperate and louder one step at a time.

Maraine shook her body for a moment, then gave her a bare gesture to think about.

And

"Just one. Sword Emperor's Rights"

and groaned, the housekeeper (maid) gave a surprised look and immediately returned his expression and opened his mouth after seeing Maraine twice.

"There is only one way. My Pericles is the capital of gladiator. Its culmination, the Sword Emperor, is given the right to say what he wants to the Lords as one of several side awards. And as long as the lord extends his own power, the duty arises to make it happen. And they say,"

"So you're asking the sword emperor figure to exercise that right?

In response to Princess Sword's question, Maraine slowly shakes her head.

"No, the previous Sword Emperor is not already in this land. And they say,"

Unexpectedly, Malane stares at Nanashi and opens her mouth.

"Become a sword emperor"

"The tournament by the top rankers will begin the day after tomorrow. If it means I own a gladiator slave, it is possible to screw it into this tournament as a special frame. And they say,"

"I mean, you think I'm gonna join in on that?

Malane sprinkles her neck in the words of the sword princess.

"Only men are gladiator slaves. And they say,"

As Maraine approached Nanashi once, she looked around at Nanashi with a treacherous eye.

"You, can you fight?

"This rotten worm (bug). Are you strong? And they say,"

You never said anything about the rotten parts. Nanashi nods to Malane, thinking.

"So I'm a slave, and you want to win."

"Yes."

Maraine nods.

"Okay."

When Nanashi answered that, I could see Princess Sword looking at this one whenever she said something. You also know that I want to stop, but I don't see any other way.

"Give me the collar."

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper (maid) opens one of the cupboards in the reception room and takes out one collar when Maraine so orders.

Black leather collar with red spirit stone insert in the center.

"This is a sign of slavery. If you don't wear this, you won't be recognized as a gladiator slave and you won't be able to enter the tournament"

"Okay."

When he takes the collar offered, Nanashi attaches it to his neck himself.

As soon as the clasp was clamped tight, for a moment, the light wore a collar.

Seeing how it was, Maraine and the maid laughed niggly wondering if they had looked at each other.

"It took."

"Yes, Master Maraine. It took."

"... what are you talking about"

Feeling something disturbing, Princess Sword looks to the two with her hands on the love sword Silver Ridge.

But without being frightened by it, the housekeeper (maid) distorts his face and smiles mocking (bruising).

"What this worm (bug) has now embedded is a cursed demon prop, a slave collar. Now he's a Malaine-like puppet for life."

"What?

Malane steps forward and stares at the sword princess.

Don't move.

"Whoa, don't move. Silver Ridge Sword Princess! You can even order me to bite my tongue off and die. And they say,"

"Come on!"

Maraine and the housekeeper (maid) laugh at Niyaniya in anticipation of the Silver Ridge sword princess who bites with regret.

"You too."

When the housekeeper (maid) nodded at Malane's words, he started laughing.

"Hyahahahahaha! Come on, Silver Ridge sword princess. If I spare this rotten fucking bug's life, I'll have you wear this collar, too.

If we can welcome you to my Pericles, our army will be invincible.

Yes! Merclius and Asmodimos are not afraid, and it is possible for my Pericles to conquer this country.

Come on, Silver Ridge Sword Princess! Put on this slave collar and fall for my slave! And I want you to mouth these Malane shoes right now! And they say, "

"... I didn't say that much"

Malene turned her gaze toward the housekeeper (maid), and the housekeeper (maid) shrugged as she was smaller.

"Excuse me, I'm in good shape"
