The day after Kazuya and the others helped the dying slaves out of the dungeon.
Because the men of Phyllis' use had come, Kazuya was to go out to the castle with a thousand years of age.
"It looks like a castle in Europe."
"Yes, that's exactly the kind of castle you said."
Inside the castle, every corner is polished and sparkling, the floor is covered with fluffy bright red carpets and the walls are hung with paintings that look tall.
Kazuya and Thousand Years of Age were walking looking at the castle like that.
"This way."
That's what the guide's maid told me, and when Kazuya and Thousand Years enter the room, there's a strange aged woman sitting on the couch in a dress with armored Phyllis and luxuriously split jewels.
... who? This guy?
A luscious woman with mature colored incense in her mid-thirties sitting on the couch.
Kazuya moves into the room, twisting her neck small enough to have such an unfamiliar woman on the spot.
"This way, please."
"Sweet for your words"
"Excuse me."
That's what the sneering women urge me to do. The Kazuyas fall back on the couch.
I'm Isabella Verhelm, Queen of the Kingdom of Canaries.
Suddenly the Queen is here!?
A strange woman was the queen of the kingdom of Canary, but she did not put her surprise on the table and pretended to be calm and managed to reply.
"I will see you first, Your Majesty Queen Isabella. My name is Kazuya Nagato and I am the captain of Parabellum. This is our deputy chief, Chitoshi Oneyama."
"Yeah, Phyllis tells me. You think he's a very good adventurer?"
"It is… an honor"
As he replied to Queen Isabella, what did Kazuya blow into Queen Isabella? Send a gaze to Phyllis with the meaning.
Phyllis noticed Kazuya's gaze haha. and the bats were grinning badly.
... I hope I didn't say anything weird.
Kazuya couldn't hide her anxiety in Phyllis' attitude.
"Then leave the greeting at this. Let me tell you why I'm here."
I'll ask you later what you blew in. Kazuya, who was sending a harsh gaze at Phyllis all the time, turned to the talked Queen Isabella.
"I wanted to thank you in person for being here. Thank you for saving the Knights of the Second Kingsguard."
"Yes, no. We just happened to help."
Suddenly Queen Isabella lowered her head, Kazuya panics.
"Don't be so modest. Not even. It's true that you saved Iris and Phyllis by chance."
"Ha..."
Kazuya returns an ambiguous reply before Queen Isabella, who shows her gratitude.
And she said, "And she and Iris have been talking about you ever since we got back to the castle."
Hmm?
Kazuya felt uncomfortable with Queen Isabella, who talks about Illis as if people had told her.
"Um... Excuse me, have you not met Her Royal Highness Princess Illis?
Queen Isabella looked down sadly when Kazuya was prepared to be disrespectful.
"Yeah, I'd like to stay with her, too, but I've been stopped from seeing her by my subordinates just in case my magic runs wild next to her."
"… Your Majesty. It's time to get down to business."
When the conversation starts heading in a strange direction, Phyllis pinches his mouth from the side and undoes the flow of the conversation.
"Right, I'm sorry. You weren't talking about making your guests listen. … Shall we get down to business?"
Queen Isabella, who was dropping her gaze downwards with a dark expression, finally sent her gaze to Phyllis as she behaved brightly.
"This is the reward for the request."
Urged by Queen Isabella, Phyllis takes out a whispering white bag and hands it to Kazuya.
This is again... you've been so excited.
The bag handed to me by Phyllis contained fifty gold coins and one white gold coin.
"Is that so good?
Kazuya, who received a higher reward than the market, asked Phyllis back.
"Oh, I don't mind. That's all it's worth. I got it working. A natural reward."
"Well, thank you very much."
Giving a bag of gold coins to a thousand years old, Queen Isabella stopped Kazuya as she thanked him and Kazuya tried to walk away.
"Please wait a moment"
"Sire?"
"? What is it"
"Actually, I'd like to ask you a favor."
"Do you mean request…"
"Yeah, that's right."
Kazuya graced Queen Isabella's sudden request, and even Phyllis was bewildered.
There's no reason to ignore Queen Isabella's story and go home, and Kazuya and Thousand Years old put their hips down on the couch again.
"There is nothing else called a request. I want you to be the playmate of Illis."
"Your Majesty!? That's..."
……
"Will you please take it? I don't care what the reward is."
Um, I don't know what to do. I'm not in trouble with the money, but should I make it while I can?
It was when Kazuya was silently thinking about what to do with Queen Isabella's sudden request.
- Batan!!
Suddenly, a sandy soldier jumped into the room with the momentum to break through the door of the room.
Shortly afterwards, Phyllis, who hung his hand on the sword of his hips as he stared at the soldier, shouted at the soldier.
"What the fuck!! Her Majesty Queen Isabella and her guests are talking now!!
"Ha ha...... Please, forgive my disrespect!! I have an urgent report!!
Saying so, the soldier who came rushing into the room saw Chirali, Kazuya and a thousand years old.
"I don't mind. Report."
As soon as Queen Isabella gives her permission to a soldier who wonders if she can make an urgent report in front of Kazuya and a thousand years old, the soldier kneels down and speaks correctly.
"Ha, I'll report!! Adventurers found massive carcasses of demons in two places where unusual reproduction of demons was occurring!! We are still in the process of checking the details, but almost all demons are dead in the state of the burning field in both locations!!
"Huh!? Is that true?
Question the soldier, raising her voice all the time that Queen Isabella can't believe it.
"Ha, it's true!!
Queen Isabella began to burst into tears as the soldiers snorted firmly into Queen Isabella's inquiry.
"Good...... I'm so glad!! Now you don't have to sacrifice her."
Queen Isabella had covered her face with her hands and shed tons of tears in the wind that her heart was good.
"Oh, gush, I'm sorry. Disturbed."
The story resumes when the soldier leaves the room and stops crying Queen Isabella calms down.
"No, I don't mind"
"So, I was just talking about..."
- Batan!!
"My God!!
When Queen Isabella tried to come back to the conversation, the door to the room opened again rampantly and the soldiers jumped in.
"Not again!! If you're reporting an abnormal breeding ground for demons, I heard it earlier!!
I thought the same report came again due to missed contact. Phyllis yelled at the soldier but the soldier shakes his head and denies it.
"No!! That is a separate emergency report!!
That being said, this soldier showed a bare temptation to think whether it was okay to report in front of Kazuya and Thousand Years, just like the earlier soldiers, so Queen Isabella gave her permission, just like the earlier soldiers did.
"I don't mind, just report it."
"Ha, I'll report. Elsas Magic Imperial Army Attacks Castle Fortress City Nassists!! The size of the incoming enemy army is 100,000, but 500,000 more troops are confirmed in the rear!! Lordship Duke Karen Lotrek is currently at Cage Castle Battle, but asking for immediate reinforcements!! Again unconfirmed, I have information that there are crossers in the enemy army!!
Hmm? Castle Fortress City Nassist......? Sure......
"No way!?...... is that true!?
"Ha, I swear to God it is true!! I don't care. We need backup now."
To the sudden murder report, Phyllis and Queen Isabella had lost their words.
"Wow... it took. Stand down."
"Ha."
When the soldier, told by Queen Isabella, who was shocked and dismayed, left the room, the room calmed down.
"Your Majesty... what will you do"
Phyllis was the first to break the silence.
"... how many days will it take to assemble and deploy the army now?
"If we're going to gather all the troops, we're going to have to call back the people on the border for a week or two. I was wondering if we could organize 20,000 to 30,000 troops in three days if we were to gather as many soldiers from the neighborhood as we could and go out. But considering travel times, etc., if you take more than three days to form an army and delay sending reinforcements, it seems that the fortified city has already fallen. But with only about 30,000 reinforcements, you can add about 20,000 of the fortified city's defensive forces to the water on the burning stone."
"Really..."
Inside the room he was again engulfed in painful silence.
In the meantime, Kazuya and Thousand Years old were worried about what to do because they couldn't join the conversation.
"Um..."
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
When Kazuya saw the terrifying opportunity and spoke to the two, they finally remembered that there were Kazuya and the others.
"I'm sorry. Kazuya, that's exactly what I was asking. Something went wrong. Your Majesty and I must move as soon as possible. Excuse me."
"Oh, I was just about to run errands, too."
"? Right...... Then excuse me.... Be well. Sa, sire."
"Yeah,... I'm sorry, Lord Kazuya. I was in a hurry and again... if I had a chance... about what I told you earlier... No, it's nothing. Excuse me. Good luck."
I guess the two have anticipation of what will happen to the Kingdom of Canaries in the future.
I walked out of the room with a sad face.
When the leftover Kazuya and Thousand Years left the room after the two, there was a fuss in the castle and many people were running down the hallway.
That's when the face I see rushes over to Kazuya.
"Ha... ha... I'll see... Knocked!!
"... Beretta?
It was Beretta Zara, deputy head of the Second Kingsguard Knights, who rushed over to Kazuya.
"What's going on?
"Huh... Um, ahhh!! Have you heard about the Imperial Army attacking us?
"Oh, I heard. You're in big trouble."
When Kazuya answers Beretta's query, Beretta weeps in her eyes and grabs Kazuya.
But a thousand years old get out in front of Kazuya and prevent it.
"What does it look like to your husband?"
"Retreat, there's nothing for you!!
Beretta tells Kazuya to cry and beg even as she rubs against a thousand years old.
"Please!! Help my sister!!
Beretta's sad voice echoed inside the castle.
――――――――――――
To listen to Beretta, Kazuya had moved from the corridor earlier to an unobstructed location to listen.
"That's why..."
"... I mean, Beretta's sister is in the fortified city that the Imperial Army is about to attack down, and Beretta herself can't move because she belongs to the Kingsguard Knights, so you want her to help you instead."
"Yes!! Empires don't keep demons and beasts like us alive....... kill after mausoleum. So!! Please!! Please help my sister!!
Beretta begs Kazuya to kneel and rub her head to the ground.
Thousands of years old open their mouths looking down at such a beretta with cold eyes.
"If I had listened to you earlier, would you have told your husband to go to his death because he couldn't move?
"If I can move, I'm moving!! But...... The Second Kingsguard Knights have Her Royal Highness Princess Illis' escort... and nothing will change if one of me goes to the fortified city...!! But if Kazuya's Parabellum......!!
"I won't talk about it. Let's go, sir."
A thousand years old urges Kazuya and tries to walk away from Beretta.
"No......!! Wait!! Please!!"
"... thousand years old"
"Yes."
"Don't be so hard on Beretta."
"But... we have to do this."
"What?"
I listened to Kazuya and her thousand year old conversation and Beretta looked at the two faces alternately with what it meant.
"Actually, before Beretta asked us to, we were already going to the fortified city."
... and I have to pay back my personal debts.
"What, then..."
"Oh, I can't confirm that, but Beretta's sister will help."
"... really?
"Oh, it's true"
"... Wow!
Are you relieved to hear Kazuya's words? Beretta was jumping on Kazuya's chest and crying.
"... then give my regards to my sister. My sister's name is Colt Zara."
Having said that, he asked Kazuya to drop off Beretta, who entrusted him with his sister and walked away, and Kazuya gathered all his men when he returned to the mansion.
"Listen up, all of you, from now on we're going to the fortified city of Nassist. The fortified city is now trapped under attack by the Elsas Magic Empire. Our goal is to defeat or destroy the Imperial Army. Ten of the platoons will be left in the mansion, the rest will be fully equipped to rendezvous with the vehicle troops and will be on their way!!
"" "" Roger!!
When the soldiers heard Kazuya's order, they replied in a temperament and scattered to prepare.
"Your husband. Are you sure, Master, that you will be heading to the fortified city yourself?
"Oh, yeah?
"... ok. What will the other troops do?"
"I still don't want other trippers to understand my abilities - my power of war. But if the war seems bad, look at the machine and put it in. Keep him on standby at the outpost so he can move anytime. And let the motorcycle with the side car of the vehicle unit go as a scout."
Copy that, sir.
Look in Kazuya's strong willed eyes. Thousand years old did not ask Kazuya to stay here, but was thorough with Kazuya's aides.
That's how the Kazuyas, ready to deploy, rendezvoused with the vehicle troops, and when they re-summoned the vehicle to modern objects, set off for the castle city Nassist all the way.
