"... so maybe Cross will get away from here too"

'Right... ok. Um, it's... 11: 30.'

After I finished my conversation in the conference room, I went back to my room once and was in touch with them with a telecommunications demon stone.

In the meantime, I've been able to report... and switch... but honestly, I haven't yet.

I'm ready... I was...

"Do you know what time they bump into Byrne? Mostly fine. '

"Oh, yes! Eh, it was about ten minutes before I left... so I thought if I moved by Jade's power, I'd probably be there after midnight..."

"That's fast... it won't take you an hour"

Normally, it takes two days from here to Rare, but Jade's dimensional magic allows him to run the shortest distance without obstruction.

It won't be long if Fake produces a fast-paced demon or rides the back of a demon-state resell.

'Well anyway... because of Byrne's character, I don't think he's just going to run away. Probably make it a priority to miss Alice and Zawan, and you'll be able to fight them all. You can assume that Cross is quite likely to leave there.'

"Really... you know, Mr. Din. Is Mr. Byrne okay?

Those four are the opponents, no matter how many SSS ranks......

"I'm nothing but worried, so leave me alone."

"What? Ah... yes..."

I know you're trusted, but you're also kind of allergic to not being worried at all...

'All right...... wait for now. Zwed is already in the opposite position to us. Like pinching a castle. Send me a signal from here, and I'll be ready to start a positive motion. So, we wait an hour now. Let me know when the cross moves in the meantime. All you have to do is glow the communication demon stone three times. Five minutes after that call, we move. All right?'

"Oh, I see."

"Even if Cross didn't leave the castle, the action starts exactly an hour from now. Cheryl needs to move with it. We're near the west rear gate on the escape route. Oh, if you feel any danger, let me shine the Demon Stone twice. Then I'll be right in. With Tia, I know where Cheryl is. So, after rendezvous, we use the magic of Karen and Cheryl to get out of town... and then we head straight south '

"Yes...... oh, what about Mr. Zuid?

"I'm breaking up with him here. I wish I could drag you out of the castle, but if I can't, I'm supposed to go into the castle. Either way, we can't afford to wait for him. '

"Oh, really..."

I hope it's okay... no matter how much Mr. Zwed...

'Don't worry. He's an SSS Rank Adventurer... one of the strongest in the world. Besides, he said he'd give priority to rescuing the two of us this time, and maybe he won't be helpless.'

Prioritize our escape...

If Cross is gone, Ana and Mm are the only remaining members.

There are several other collaborators who subscribe to Titanomachia's ideas and goals and are acting together, but they are not as combative.

Mum goes without saying, and Ana is the only real threat... what, you mean you don't take that risk?

"... ok. That's all right."

'Okay... well, let's laugh at each other while shaking hands next. Hmm? Uh, yes, yes... there you go.'

Hmm? What is it?

"Cheryl! Be careful!

'Cause I'm waiting! It's gonna work!

"Both of you..."

... Someone will move for me.

And...

"Wait... I'll be there for sure"

I have someone waiting for me.

I can't be happier.

"'See you later!

This one too... "See you later"...?

"Yeah...... see ya!

The light disappears from the demonic stone, and silence comes to Liesel and my room.

"... All right"

First, we need to make this "see you" real.

―――――――――――――――――――――

Around a little around midnight, the communications demon stone held by the cross emitted light.

It's me.

'... this is Chumlit. I knew it was a battle. I mean, should I say Fake did that?'

"F... I pulled myself back that would happen if I went, but I guess Fake meant to do that from the start... So, what's the situation?

"The demons of Byrne and Fake are in battle, and Zawan and Alice are still out there... well, it's still bad for him... we can never do it alone"

"... ok. Hold on till I get there."

Copy that.

As the light went out of the demonic stone, Cross slowly rose out of his chair.

"Again... looks like we have to go"

"Sounds like it..."

Anna, who was beside her, shook Cross's hand as she lowered her brow butt slightly.

"Don't worry. Now is not the time to cross swords with him. Let's get some information out of it and pick it up. It will be beneficial for you to fulfill your purpose… but there may not be more pawns."

"... you're talking about Sumerian"

"I don't have enough hands than I did. I would have liked to take both if I could, but now there is no need for anything like that. Damn... Sumerian did something extra for me too. Well, that's why I noticed."

"Right...... if you are as good as Byrne, you will uncover the darkness of that country. There's a little pain here, but it turns out to be in our interest."

"Oh. Okay, I'm coming"

"Good luck... Dear Cross"

The cross opens the window and takes you from the room to the spacious balcony that leads to it.

Standing in its center, he began to concentrate his magic on the palm of his right hand.

"Well... we have to hurry."

So whining, Cross releases a mass of magic into the sky.

Shortly afterwards, his body rose into the universe and disappeared from Anna's sight, staring at his back… in an instant.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"K, Mr. Cross too...?

"Did you go?

"Yeah. I headed to Rare earlier. So let's keep our minds together."

"" "Ha!

It was not until shortly after the cross flew that the report was made to them who remained in the castle.

Cheryl, Mm, and several sub-members, called collaborators, scatter after Anna's instructions and begin to act in good preparation.

Regardless, there is no reason to know that Cheryl enchanted the Demon Stone in her pocket.
