- Then a while later, when me and Garnett went back to the hall of the residence, where they were lurking, some golden fang knights were rushing out.

"Is something wrong?

Ask Captain Hazel what it looks like to stay in the building.

If there's an emergency, there's no way we can hear anything, so at least I don't think there's an imminent danger.

"Actually, there was a reaction to the magic prop I told you about earlier."

"They say it reacts when the nagi approaches...?

"Yes, so I just sent my men outside to lead him here."

I see Melissa is twitching with reason.

Melissa and Nagi have been partners since before we got to know each other, and at least Melissa's side has a verse about having romantic feelings for them.

There's no point in standing up because such an opponent is on a dangerous mission and he can finally make sure he's safe with his own eyes.

"I think my men will be back soon. Please wait here."

Waiting in the hall as prompted, within minutes the footsteps of the metal armor approached and a group of one more person returned than when they left.

One of them, of course, is the little Oriental adventurer who was infiltrating Demon King Castle.

"Great! Nagi, no!"

Melissa tries to jump on a nagi in a way she couldn't stand.

Nagi gently squeezed it with his high-speed mobility skills and took Melissa with one arm, who was on the verge of falling over momentum.

"... Hey Melissa. Why are you in such a place? Didn't I tell you not to follow me?

"Chi, no, no! Because this time they just hired me normally! As a force of war! Hey, Captain Hazel!

Melissa waved her neck and hands sideways at the same time, supported by a nagi in a nearly tipped position.

Suddenly turned to the spearhead of the story, Captain Hazel began to explain the situation by coughing lightly as Nagi turned his half-hearted gaze.

"She is an excellent Elemental Wizard, so we requested her cooperation as a counter to the Attribute Attack of the Four Demons. In fact, we have also succeeded in taking the attack of the storm Austri"

"Well... I'm really lucky"

"... not at all"

Nagi made Melissa stand properly before turning to me again.

"I heard from the Golden Tooth Knights what happened. I didn't know exactly where the Four Demons had just returned, but I didn't know they were lurking in the underground waterway."

"You couldn't have assumed anything at all. Is there any other path we could possibly use?

Get right to the point without talking to the public.

There is no guarantee that this place will always be a safe zone.

Rather, we will have to act on the assumption that sooner or later we will be discovered by the Demon King's Army.

Nagi naturally seemed to know that, too, and has immediately offered an alternative.

"So far I've only got about 30% of the Demon King's Castle, but I can offer you two alternative escape routes"

"You're a boulder. What kind of route is that?

"The path of escape itself is more challenging instead of less likely to be exposed, and what you will surely find is a simple path"

Earlier unsuccessful groundwater routes were hard to find and easy escape routes without even the emergence of storm austrils.

Again, the other options seem to be going to be more risky than that.

"The hard-to-spot escape route is one that crosses the wall opposite from this location. Beyond the walls is a deep cliff and no siege nets have been deployed, so security is thin at a level close to nothing."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Garnett pinches his mouth.

"The walls are [disassembled] so you can punch holes, and then how do you escape to the safety zone? We can't fly in the sky."

"There is a narrow ground between the cliffs and the walls. It's usually a little tough to walk, but if you do it right, you'll get out without falling."

According to the simplified diagram drawn by Nagi on the paper at hand, there was usually a distance of about two or three minutes on foot, from the point where it could be definitively approached without being noticed to the walls of the castle to the end of the narrow road.

If we try to get closer to the walls by packing a distance than that, the soldiers at the rear of the defense force threaten to find us and fail.

If you walk two or three minutes normally, if you proceed carefully through the narrow scaffolding, that's several times - certainly this is a highly challenging escape route.

"Misty hiding. We have another problem. The presence of the brave."

Now Sakura has added the point.

"If he's cooperative in the escape, his chances of success will increase, but otherwise it's a pain in the ass. Even if we manage to make him faint and carry him, it won't be the way he can get through with such a big load."

"Above my knowledge. In the first place, it's a path I saw before I found out that the brave Falcon showed up."

It wasn't until just now, however quickly, that Nagi learned of the emergence of Falcon.

There should have been absolutely no time left to consider the path in view of that.

"Another proposal is a frontal breakthrough. It's our policy to break through the thin side of the defensive net, drill holes in the walls, and rendezvous with the siege forces."

"You'll find it for sure, but what you do is simple... you're absolutely right"

Unexpectedly leaks a convincing voice.

The idea is the same as the actions of the Four Demon Generals of the Demon King's Army, who ambushed me before I was taken away to Demon King's Castle.

After finishing the attack, they attacked the Knights' forces besieging Demon King's Castle from behind, working with the castle-side defense forces to make a breakthrough and make a successful return to Demon King's Castle.

In short, Nagi's second suggestion is to do this in reverse.

"At first, there were only three of us. I'm not very tough on that, but I couldn't take it..."

"We're here now too! You've got plenty of strength."

Alexia breaks in from the side and mouths instead what I'm trying to say.

Including the troops of the Golden Tooth Knights, the number counted as battle power has tripled.

This would also challenge somewhat risky operations.

"If we do well, we might be able to punch a hole in the wall from the inside and proceed with the siege operation all at once."

"Hey, White Wolf's. Don't give me too much color or anything. The first thing you need to do is help you out safely. If that's what you're doing, leaving the brave behind is a choice."

"... Garnet..."

I couldn't really ask if I could do that.

Garnett hid his identity as a knight belonging to the silver wing, and even if he didn't, he clearly told the story that the intensity of his eyes was serious.

"Anyway... Either way, the problem is with the brave Falcon."

There are no other proposals for escape routes.

Later it was a question of which to employ as the next operation, and Falcon's handling was inevitable.

"I'd love to take you back as living proof if I could, but it's troublesome waiting to wake up and be rampaged, and I can wake up in the middle of carrying... what do you guys think we should do?

First an arrowhead tried to solicit an opinion - a strange laugh echoed in the hall.

"Kukukukuku....................................................................."

Reflectively looking back to the corner of the hall.

Falcon, the brave man who should have been lying there while in captivity, got up at some point and sat down with his winged back deposited in the corner of the room.
