The vast plains from the west side of the Wang capital to the walls of the castle make the land lean and the crops difficult to grow. There were also numerous monsters, such as goblins and oaks, which were predicted to take considerable effort to pioneer, but Serena's mother made the decision to decide it.

It was when Serena was 10.

As usual, on behalf of his father, who was busy flying around the country in diplomatic relations, his mother was to take Serena and Kyoske to inspect the plains under development. Although there were many escorts, it is still a relatively dangerous area. Her mother could tell Serena and the others to never leave her side.

but, well, in conclusion, serena is off.

It was the herd of oaks that surrounded Serena by herself on the plains.

Even though it has attenuated its ferocity and individual combat abilities since the convergence of the Underbeast unrest, Orcs are still a terrible enemy to humanity. It is an outrage for a 10-year-old girl who has no power whatsoever.

It was the old lady knight who rescued Serena, who rattled and trembled.

One sword poke wraps around the tornado and turns the oaks into ground beef. The secret mystery of the Spike Sword, which can only be reached with the power of deviating from the people's knowledge. The lady knight, who had lightly finished her time of fear, said this by holding Serena back.

'I looked for it. Let's go home to your mother. "

The stark feet of a knight running with her in his arms were faster than any horse or carriage Serena knew.

"That was the meeting between me and my master..."

We listened half-heartedly to Serena talking about her smudges.

Even Kyosuke is not sure to instantly kill Okumura's army where it has become a full cross. Even that red-wing demon (Red Wing) would be impossible. A knight who runs more or less faster than a horse is a level where horseback riding is no longer required. Whatever you think, I just think we're talking.

Serena's master was entrusted with the guardianship of the western side of the kingdom and was awarded the title of "Knight General". The unique title (Unique Title) is "The Knight General Who Cracks the Land". They break the ground with bees, not metaphorical representations.

Kyosuke, who finished her tummy, began to walk straight against the walls. The walls gradually spread in front of us, as initially expected, before the sun tilts.

"If you're such a scary person, you have to try not to piss me off..."

Rin said it was pompous.

"How many, by the way?

"How many were there? I feel like I was over 30 when I met him...... Is that it? Wasn't over it?

On the question of the white horse, Serena on the saddle breaks her finger and begins to count. I could see the look on the white horse's face getting more and more cloudy. I can imagine what kind of rudeness you're thinking, well. Hope seems thin, and I can run faster than a horse, so I won't be needing a white horse either.

Kyosuke removed the telescope from the carriage and placed it in the orbit. With regard to the lack of eyes but being visible, Serena explained to me at length that 'there is something called a conceptual organ…' but it almost slipped through her right ear to her left ear. Of course, I have no right ear or left ear.

Above the walls, the knights in light armor are on the lookout. He looks like a human being. The same white type as Serena, whose outfit is unfamiliar in Japan, but there is some strange emotion just to see multiple humans moving.

"Utsurugi-kun, me too! Show me, too!

Rin's got cancer, so I'll lend him a telescope.

"Ooh, it's human...! Wow, you're human!

"Um, I'm human too..."

On the saddle, Serena was squeezing her lips a little dissatisfied.

"Kyosuke, I basically left the negotiation to you."

Eung jumped out of a cramped lantern, says so.

"Me? I'm not going around much. Isn't Eung better?"

"I'll pinch your mouth if I have to, but I'm not up to it because I'm going to say something extra. You'll see."

"Uh, yeah. I know. I know."

"Besides, this negotiation should be as easy to get the other guy's liking as you are somewhat foolish"

If that's what you're saying, it's not a rush to take a negotiating seat on your own. but it's just a little pressure. My stomach hurts like hell.

"With that said, we're talking about negotiating with that general to get the army moving, okay?

"What is it?

"According to the story, an army staying on the walls is a force to prevent raids on monsters coming from outside the walls."

Even though he is responsible, there is a question as to how he can move his forces at the discretion of one general and fulfill them.

"Uh, yeah. That's right..."

To Kyosuke's words, Serena thought a little.

"Serena's country is a royal government? The king has the authority to move the army or something?

"It's a constitutional monarchy. It's a cuckoo."

"Oh, quite modern"

"I mean, it could take a lot of work to move one army. You can't expect much."

Eung's words end the conversation in the form of water at the end.

The walls will be closer, until we can see the knights around us. The knights noticed this way and found that some of them were going down the stairs for the report. A rushed air, accompanied by tension. Nature and this one, the air tightens. If it's a factual first contact, you'll have to be cautious.

Some of the knights pointed their arrows at us. There is also the figure of a magician who sets up a cane and prepares himself for chanting.

"Mr. Serena."

"Yes, I know"

Serena salivated and raised her spear high on the horse to show it. Here her words will divide the name.

"We are not enemies! Lower your bow and tell the Knight General! Your apprentice, Serenade, has returned!

As she raised her voice softly, the knights, who were arrow-linked, bowed down as they said. He's holding the reins over the unicorn, trying to check on the girl with the spear. Apparently, both knights and magicians know Serena's name.

Or is Serena's real name Serenade? I didn't know. To see Rin react, she didn't hear either.

But the next word she uttered was more astonishing.

"I say it again! Tell the Knight General! It is the return of Princess Serenade, the First Princess of the Kingdom!

"" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!?

Thanks to a stunned voice that sounded slightly more edible, Princess Serenade had to say the same line again.

"Because you didn't believe me when I said it..."

Pursuing what she had hidden, Serena said so with her lips pointed slightly dissatisfied.

First Princess (Princess) Serenade. It is who she is. Until the point of nobility, or royalty, I had my expectations, but I was a bigger man than I ever imagined. From the other side's attitude, it seems that a massive search had already begun, but it was nothing but luck not to bowl in with such a search party. If I had encountered him along the way, the situation would have been more twisted.

However, Kyosuke and Serena could not get inside the walls because of the Princess' return. Serena sits properly in a lavish chair for nobility that has been transported from the inside, saying it is still inconvenient to leave Her Royal Highness standing while the knights are tightly guarded.

"Oh, give them a chair too"

Serena says, one of the knights brings three more chairs with the salute. I just figured I wouldn't be able to get a chair for the white horse, but instead a bed with a canopy was carried. The white horse also looks sorry and puts his hooves on the bed. I was overwhelmed and tore the curtain in the corner, turning my face bright blue.

"Whoa, whoa! It's a fluffy chair...... Awwwww!?

The moment Rin puts his body on the chair, the chair's leg breaks and it breaks.

"The princess water is now compressed with a lot of water. It weighs a lot."

While Eung calmly explained, he was scorching a lavish chair.

"I feel like we're being awfully rude right now, are you okay...?

"It's okay. I'm a princess......!

Holding his fist, Serena tells him with a Doya face. Kyosuke asked Serena again after taking a glimpse of Rin, who was probably seated in the chair he was transported again (this time it didn't break).

"I mean, even though you're the first princess, you volunteered for the investigation team? Are you a knight apprentice?

"Not from your father's mother's age... The royal family of this country respects the medals very much. Originally, it was the Grand Duke at the westernmost tip of the Central Empire. It was a country to stop monsters and unidentified troops approaching from the west."

It was 200 years ago. said Serena.

"I don't understand that the royal son has two sisters and brothers, or that he sends one of them out dangerously flat..."

"Hey, for once, it was supposed to be a safe investigation... It's true that I volunteered for danger..."

"But first princess means Serena will take over the throne, right?

"What do you think? Kyos... oh no, my brother is better, so I think my brother will inherit more..."

That makes me feel like I shouldn't be dealing with royal children. I just thought about it so far, and Kyosuke shook it for the first time. I felt that thinking of Serena as the "First Princess" more than necessary was synonymous with thinking of herself as a tool of political strategy.

No, still, Kyosuke herself can't be uncomfortable.

Serena told all kinds of stories to Kyosuke as she was.

As you know, her father is Japanese, but when he becomes king of this country, he talks differently again. They are actively searching for the people of the original world who have transferred to this world and, if necessary, provide protection. It's just a difficult question whether that applies to Kyosuke's case this time. There is no precedent for turning a person into a monster during a metastasis.

The upright immobile and unwary knights and demon mentors seemed surprised by the army of monsters who exchanged words of affection with Princess Serenade. I guess I can see the situation roughly from the end of the conversation, but still, it would be like half-heartedness or something.

"Thank you for waiting, Your Highness."

One of the knights gently slaps Serena in the ear.

His Excellency the General has arrived.

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

Hearing the words, Kyosuke and the others fix their natural and ambiguity.

When I turned my gaze toward the gate, I heard the sound of hiccups, and an elderly woman appeared wrapped around her armor. Tinted hair put together in one room. He has a sharp face that reminds him of the blade of the stripper, exactly the appearance of a 'female knight', but he has a painful scar on his face.

Rin was impressed when he said 'It looks like the evolutionary form of Tsugin'. It does resemble Kenzaki (Durahan).

But the intimidation was out of step. Never tall or gatai is good, but seeps out every time I walk with my armor tucked..., what is this? Aura? Combat? Anyway, something like "awesome", which is difficult to linguize, is also vividly transmitted to Kyosuke's bodies.

If Kenzaki is a "wind discipline commissioner", this is... no, "general"? Keep it up.

"For one thing, welcome home. Your Highness. Please allow me to welcome you in this way."

"Oh, no...... Because I was the one who wanted to be present with them...... I'm sorry to bother you. My Master."

"You're safe and above all. If you need anything, I almost had to cut my stomach off."

Seeing Serena exchange words peacefully with that knight general, Kyosuke is comfortable reviewing her for the first time.

The general turned his gaze toward Kyosuke as he was. I accidentally freak out. Rin and others had fallen from chair to chair with a glaring momentum.

"Now, are you the ones who sent His Highness the princess? Let me thank you. Your Majesty is worried about this case."

The general squeaks her armor properly and talks to her like that in a slightly shattered manner.

"Slime on skeleton, unicorn on whisp...? Reports say you can speak human language?

"Ah, uh. Yes, we can talk."

"Mm, you're more fluent than I thought..."

Kyosuke takes a good look at the other members. Eung seems to keep her normal mind, but the momentum of fire is weaker than usual. Rin was desperate to fix the fallen chair, and the white horse had his slightly sad eyes pointed at the general woman, to say the least. I'm sure she's a beauty, but I don't think it's to let her down either...

The white horse stays put and punches his hoof on the pillar of the bed about twice. What's the signal? Are you saying it's a report of the number of people who have experienced it? Totally extra information.

"No, I'd like to welcome you generously as someone who would have protected Her Royal Highness, but this is probably the first time a guest like you has..."

The general makes a face that seems difficult while scratching his head.

"Not like elves and Lizardmans again...... I've never seen a monster with intelligence before. Besides, you can communicate with us through language. To be honest, I'm confused."

"Oh, oh no. Er..."

"Master, Mr. Utsurugi and the others are trippers."

On behalf of Kyosuke, who was confusing my head, Serena cut me out of the story. She is a trusted princess. The general looked at her as surprised.

"Tripper? They did?

"Yes, from what I've heard, you've come from the same homeland as your father, the people you're protecting in the kingdom."

"We have heard that there were no such demons in His Majesty's homeland?

"When I was transferring, I was changed."

It was just speculation, but Kyosuke clearly answers that.

Kyosuke decided to elaborate on their situation. As I speak, my tongue (not) gradually warms up as well. The fact that we are experiencing trips on a group basis called school classes, in addition to being turned into monsters when we metastasized. The general did not deny it without a headache, but listened carefully to me.

Kyosuke will now explain what happened after she met Serena. That he rescued her, who was being chased by the Wildness Worm, and gave her protection in class. Engaged with the Red-wing Demon who destroyed Serena's investigation team and took away one of her classmates.

The general narrows her eyes with a red-wing devil's jerk and takes confirmation with Serena.

When Serena nodded for sure, the knights and magicians who stood upright and immovable around her cried out in obscurity.

"Oh, hey, what? What? What?"

Rin gives an anxious voice.

"If it's a red-wing demon, we'll see."

The general looked up to heaven and said so.

"Is it true!?

"Mm-hmm. He's a demon-like enemy with red wings and black armor, with terrible strength and magical aggression. The day after His Royal Highness's troops were cut off from the news, this wall was also raided. I managed to repel two out of three."

"Three!?

Kyosuke stood up unexpectedly raising her voice. Serena also opened her eyes to surprise, and Rin, the white horse, and even Eung couldn't hide her surprise. Did Kyosuke's reaction come as unexpected or was the general a little overwhelming?

"Oh, oh. Three. You called yourself" Pawn "... Actually, this one's pretty damaged, too. Apparently, we'd better go into the details."

Having said that, the General urged him to take a seat with him.

"Let's talk in my room. Exactly, the sun is tight outside."

"Ah, uh. Are you sure?

"I don't mind. For one thing, I was wary of monsters, but apparently there's a situation going on in there, and even if you get weird, I can shut you up in less than two seconds."

Without being particularly careful, the general woman says so plainly. Perhaps the word is correct.

But it is not the words and actions of such a confident knight general that now dominates Kyosuke's mind. The fact is that there were at least three red-wing demons. The power of that evil devil who had that absolute ability to fight was never one-of-a-kind or anything.

"Hey, Pawn is a chess pawn, right?"

Rin mouths pounding.

"Oh, that's also the weakest pawn. But the word" pawn "doesn't necessarily mean anything like chess."

The voice of Eung, who said so, was also slightly tense to tension. Indeed, that demon had spoken the word "king" just before he flew away. Pawn to the king. I don't have any definitive evidence, but I can also say that it's too much to imagine being unpleasant.

Suppose a red-wing demon with all that power is nothing but a "spiritual soldier" of that force.

"For your information, how many Pawns are there?"

"Eight per faction."

Calm Eung's words were accompanied somewhere by a chilling sound.

Apparently, the walls are themselves a long fortress to the north and south. Kyosuke and the others were led to the private room of the Knight General in the corner of that fortress. In a room with a calm atmosphere like a study, the walls are decorated with large spears (lance) and tower shields close to three metres. Next to it is a portrait of a magnificent man with an eagle nose. Husband of the General - is he a father because he is eating too old?

By the way, Serena snuck me up on the fact that half of the books on the bookshelf are occupied by knights romantic and romantic novels. Despite the sneak teachings, it seemed that the general lady had sounded, and she had a smile with inclusiveness.

"You'll always be a bad street in a general. I'm Carol. Regards."

"Oh, no, it's a sea urchin."

"Utsurugi...... You write it as how you feel to move?

"That's uturi..."

General Carol seems to have a knowledge of Japanese to the extent that she can make such a mistake. If so, credibility also emerges in the story that we are protecting some Japanese in this country.

Kyosuke stopped to drink the tea Carol had brewed for me. Wouldn't drinking tea here now make stains on the luxury looking couch I'm sitting on right now?

"Utsurugi-kun! I'll catch it all!

"No, uh, yeah... It's hard, Princess Shui..."

It was Eung who was more of a jerk than a jerk, and he was making a scorch on the luxury sofa.

"With that said, is it skeleton, so drinking tea will spill... It's hard to welcome a monster..."

"Oh, it's okay! I'll take care of everything! That looks delicious is sugar confectionery...... warm!

I'll give you as much as I can think of a delicious slime.

"Well good. Let's talk. Let's start by sharing information about the Red Winged Devil.

Carol told me about the Red Winged Devil who had previously raided this fortress.

The number of demons is three. Others said they led monsters such as Little Devil (Imp) and Corpse Ghost (Ghoul) as infantry. Oddly enough, like Kyosuke, those demons, who decided to call themselves red-wing demons (Red Wings), slaughtered knights and demon mentors with their overwhelming combat abilities.

Unfortunately, Carol was a little away from the fortress that day to welcome guests from the King's Capital, and his arrival at the scene was delayed. Still, when he got there, he said he shot the whole thing in the act of God. The defeat of one of the commanders caused the enemy to retreat lightly.

"Is the strength of this fortress to the extent that it outweighs the attack of those three demons..."

Where Eung said it was pompous, Carol waves the first time.

"I told you. He said he had suffered considerable damage. At that point, I can hardly stand a tooth in a bunch of ordinary knights and exorcists"

And say, because you have an unconsciousness that you are not normal?

Kyosuke held his fist a long time and looked at Carol from the front. She can cross more than one another with the Red Wing.

"Mr. Carroll, will you help us?"

"Mm?"

"They could come to our base again. Bring in quite a few.

That's the real deal I finally got to cut.

Now, Ryuzaki and the others are working on the refurbishment of heavy cruisers as a means to escape the base. But it's already been five days since the Red Wings raided the stronghold. It's no wonder when, again, the Red Wing hand reached over there.

Furthermore, the situation is more serious than originally envisaged. "Pawn," self-proclaimed, and three bodies. I don't think the next number of Red Wings to hit the base is one.

If the Knight General in front of you could help me at all.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

One cup of tea in one hand, Carol said lightly.

"No, Master! Why not!"

"Please calm down, Your Highness. If you sum up what you've been talking about, you'll see. We don't know when this fortress will be attacked again."

There is no room for Kyusukes to turn reinforcements to this fortress, which has suffered considerable human damage. I don't care what Carol does to herself. She is a trumpet-tag treatment of powerful enemies, just like a full cross in four sets for two years.

If Ryuzaki and the others can complete the renovation of the heavy cruiser as soon as possible. If our classmates can take off base sooner than we can take a Red Wing raid, we don't need the help of the knights here. But it's a faint hope, there is.

"I'm sorry. Utsurugi. He said he saved His Highness's life."

Carol looked into the heart of such Kyosuke, but once again expressed her willingness to refuse.

"Master, would you mind listening, even if you use my name!?

"As I may say, Your Highness, I have been delegated full powers by both Your Majesty with regard to the operation of the forces of this Fortress Line. Parliament's approval is of course required when it comes to formal operations…"

Carol tells me you can't listen to this as an urgent matter.

Serena, who stood up, also looks remorseful and sits on the chair. There were no lies in her words that she said her name had diplomatic value. Or, if this fortress had not yet been attacked by a red-wing demon, Carol might have accepted Kyosuke's request as well.

But the situation was bad.

"Excuse me...... Mr. Utsurogi... Ladies and gentlemen..."

Serena grabbed the hem of her own clothes and made a squeezing voice.

"Uh, yeah. Nothing, Serena's not bad..."

In a somewhat powerless voice, Rin says. Yes, she's not bad at all on this matter.

"I don't know if it's comforting, but if you want, I promise you protection on this fortress line. Once you get back to that stronghold and do it, it doesn't matter if you bring your people. About forty monsters, well, they'll manage to hide it."

That could be said to be the maximum concession that the Knight General Carol could make. There is nothing more comforting than being able to receive direct asylum from her, a powerful trump card, during the Red Winged Devil's raid.

But for hurrying back to base from here, three days as fast as possible. If it were to be a trip with everyone from there, we would have to see it for a week, including preparation. It's no different than waiting for a heavy cruiser to be refurbished, and in the meantime, there's no guarantee anywhere that it won't have to be attacked. The more time passes, the less secure that stronghold and the wider wilderness will be.

"It's almost sundown. You should stay here for the night. If you hurry back to base, you can also lend a quick horse...... Oh, no, yeah."

With the white horse in sight, Carol clouded her words a little.

"Let me get you a room. Give me something decent, not a stable, for that unicorn. Exactly. I can't be in the same room with Her Royal Highness, but if you can call me, I don't mind you talking to me late."

That's all I said, Knight General Carol left the room. I guess you'll just get me a bedroom.

Negotiations are not a failure. Attaching cooperation can be described as a success.

But more than failing to obtain direct reinforcements, the unbottomless creepy identity of those Red Wings and those who accompany them had brought with them a painful silence. Even if I tell Ryuzaki and the others, I don't have the means to do it.

"I figured it might be better to go back to base early tomorrow morning at first light."

Eung said it was pompous.

"Hey, what about me?

"The white horse can stay here. Probably safe. Saying the white horse has fairly fast feet probably isn't as good as a combat trained horse here. I want you to ride around Kyosuke, straighten out your horse... well, if you wear it in two days, it's your letter."

"That's all there is, or..."

Kyosuke nodded as well. First of all, it is of the utmost importance to convey the information obtained here to the Ryuzaki people. If you reach this fortress line, you will be guaranteed safety. That alone is arguably quite a step forward. It's a country where trippers live, and clues to get back to the original world, maybe.

"Ugh, sorry...... Me, at the heart..."

"So Serena says it's not bad..."

When Rin pounded Serena's back, she heard air pounding from her lungs called 'Ofu', and Serena flourished.

Then after a while, Carol comes back when the room is ready. Together, we decided to first heal the fatigue of our journey while wishing the bases well.

It is that night that the incident takes place.
