Chapter 7 27 "Things You Can't Hold and Things You Can't Hold"

"If you're alive, you'll have a chance to rinse off your shame. But if I die, that's it. That's why I'm going. You can't ride a battle without a chance."

There is no lie in the word.

Throwing yourself into a thin battle is a foolish act that only an unbelievable idiot can do.

I don't think I'm smart, but I should be careful because I'm not smart. A wise man might reach the conclusion in a flash, but it took him a long time to become a fool.

Todd knows that's how he fights the unbearable.

You can't ride a battle you can't win.

But paradoxically -

I'm pretty sure that you're going to ride a battle with a winning chance.

I grabbed my clenching fist in front of my right eye and looked far across from the slightly made gap.

A primitive means of looking further away by narrowing the range of sight. Todd's eyes can be seen quite far away as he narrows his eyes, but he doesn't even know what's going on in the city government building of chaos, not even with the burning flags.

Even in a much better ventilated situation.

"Hey, the roof of the city hall is missing!" What the hell is going on! "

Alongside it, a fierce entourage is screaming and screaming.

It's so hot and distracting, but I wave my hand and tell you to keep quiet. What's happening is under serious scrutiny.

There's no doubt that the [Nine Divine Generals] got on board.

Otherwise, there is no point in staying in a citadel city that has fallen into enemy hands.

As mentioned above, when the City Hall was defeated by enemy forces, Todd was planning to abandon the city and flee. I am not willing to disarm and surrender with decency.

In the first place, as long as the enemy's brain is the one who named him the son of war, Natsumi Schwartz, risk factors like Todd and Jamal should be eliminated first.

The lynching of the captives who surrendered will be avoided in Volakia, but he will execute them for good cause.

At least that's what I would do. If you want to live, you deserve it.

So I chose to flee first and decided not to hesitate to abandon the Citadel. Nonetheless, the only thing that remained after turning the choices around was confirming the existence of [reinforcement] on the way to the city.

"It's true, I saw her two years ago when she served in the barbarian crusade." ― ― ― He was an arachia general of the "Tsubaki".

And he leapt over the sealed gate, and behold, the thinly clothed woman that had entered the city leisurely; and Jamal snorted, and affirmed.

It's like a man with a wild instinct walking around in clothes. The strength of the organism and the nature of the male who identifies the female, don't forget the opponent caught in the harp line.

In other words, one of the empire's most powerful [Nine Gods] appeared in the rebellion. --This is not different from the "winning eye" that Todd was judged to have disappeared.

And that 's--

“Ride, refuse, or be bothered.”

Nutmeg's schemes and tricky tricks are vivid, but at least he has no direct combat power after seeing each other three times. Even if the "people of Shudrak" who follow them are known for their toughness, it is only a dimensional story compared to ordinary people.

The true mighty, such as the [Nine God Generals], do not meet the criteria of such a ruler.

Even Jamal, with his incredible sword skill and combat strength at his fingertips, could be as powerful as a regular Imperial soldier. After all, it was a way to identify ordinary people.

Those who easily adore Jamal are extraordinary, and the "Nine Divine Generals" are their representatives. ― ― The lost City Hall was recaptured.

If so, it's wise to stay on the winning horse.

There is no need to cooperate with the [Nine God Generals].

We just have to help a general more than a city hall soldier who is captured and can't do his job. Gaining command without the restraint, interrogation, or destruction of the enemy will help you remember the first general.

If we do that, we may be able to find a way back to the Imperial City sooner rather than later.

"Alright, let's turn around, Jamal." We'll help you recapture the City Hall. "

"Oh? Oh, I see!" Haha, that's good. I can't help but feel itchy all over the place, imitating something that doesn't fit my nature to run away. I can't stand being taken care of by a single general! "

"Say it stupidly, we're going to spill a single general."

While sighing at Jamal's willingness to return to his place of death, who had hardened his fist to change policy, Todd returned to the City Hall with him and observed the intel from a position where he could confirm the situation of the City Hall instead of directly getting into the building.

Just follow your beliefs, be discreet, be discreet, be discreet, be discreet.

"- Kill, Arachia."

The top floor of the stormy city government building and a faint ravage.

The far-eyed silver hair and brown skin of the "Tsubaki" swung branches and trees that only seemed to have been picked up around them, and ran around like they controlled the laws of the world.

Südrak and the Imperial Guard alike, everyone has fallen into a desolate hall.

Under such circumstances, it was the figure of Nutmeg Schwartz, who was nobody else, who stood in Arachia with the girl with blue hair on her back.

――――

As soon as I saw it, the thoughts that came to Todd's mind were not loose, such as, "What a stupid imitation to stand in front of a single general" or "It's a big deal to be alive."

Rather, Todd shouted loudly in his heart, letting him be as vigilant as possible.

- Here, be sure to kill that man, Arachia.

Worst of all, I don't care what I do. It didn't matter if it stood still or if the thought time I spent turning my opinions was meaningless.

Certainly, if the roots of Natsumi Schwartz's son of war stop.

That 's--

"... hey, hey, you're kidding me."

The moment Arachia kills Nut, Todd's cravings crumble as soon as he thinks something has flashed on the top of his focused sight, not to miss that decisive moment.

A flashing red sparkle broke between the nut and the arachia.

It confronts Arachia with dignity and shelters Natsumi as an absolute strongman. The moment I saw it, the balance inside Todd tilted heavily.

"What just came down from the sky!?" A flying dragon!? Where's a flying dragon?! "

――――

"You're listening, Todd! What are we gonna do? Shouldn't we cover one of the Arachian generals? Hey! Listen...."

"-Shut up, Jamal."

Jamal gasped for a change of circumstances, and Todd was strangled with a breath.

Without turning his attention to Jamal, Todd doesn't turn a blind eye to the sights of the city hall. A woman in a red dress is facing Arachia from the front.

I knew it at a glance. ― ― That woman is also on the [holding] side, far from being an ordinary person.

And, I deplore the fact that the nuts that took their own lives in a situation that seemed to be desperate are also 'held' in a different form from fighting power and athletic power.

――――

Before the Red Woman broke in, Arachia returned enough change alone.

However, the situation changes and the settlement becomes invisible. Is the heavy stone Todd and Jamal enough to tilt the tilted balance over here?

"Todd...!"

"Don't move, Jamal. ― ― It doesn't matter if you move.

The odds of winning would have disappeared, making things worse while Todd was watching.

I understand Jamal's anger, but I'm leaving now in vain.

No matter what--

We've just been hit by a General Arachia.

Arachia fell to her knees with the blade of a red woman on her back.

The leaning balance was broken, and I never leaned on the other side again.

△▼△▼△▼△

――――

Arachia falls and the city hall is over.

By now, the citadel city of Guaral has fallen into enemy hands.

There is no way to recover from this. By the way, even though the [Nine God Generals] [️] have been dispatched, there is no way that other reinforcements will rush in one after another.

"Nine God Generals" is a thousand riders, the culmination of the Vorakian Empire's martial arts.

The movement of the [Nine Divine Generals] is the same as the movement of a large army, and there is no difference that would send two or three large armies to a single situation. That's the end of it.

The balance tilted. All we have to do is fight the war.

I don't know what to do.

In the shadow of a building that watched the city government building unfold, Todd thought quietly.

Honestly, the emotions without anger or remorse are boiling down, but spitting them out doesn't solve anything.

Now that the reason for returning has disappeared, it should be a smart choice to quickly disperse.

But--

"Hey Todd... you're not going to run away from me, are you?"

Having said that, I can't find a word to convince Jamal that he has blue skin on his forehead.

Initially, immediately after the fall of the flag of the city government building, Jamal's persuasion was broken.

Still, at that time, it was easy to induce Jamal's emotions. I was able to hold my sword and reluctantly follow it.

However, I pulled out the stored blade again and danced back, but this time it didn't work. Once again, he won't listen to me when I tell him to put down his blade and run quietly.

In fact, depending on the following words, the tip of the pulled blade may be directed towards us.

If that happens, there's no reason not to kill Jamal anyway. --The opponent who will be my brother-in-law in the future. I don't want to kill you if I can.

If we bring them home safely, we won't be able to keep our promise.

"Let's take a look at that line."

Ah?

"... I know how you feel." But calm down. Now that one of the Arachian generals has been defeated, we won't win if we get on board. Do you want to waste your life and make your sister sad? "

――――

Use family love as a shield to try to persuade.

Immediately after staring at the opponent, I grabbed my chest with my arm, which stretched quietly. Then, as she drew closer to her face, Jamal's eyes peeled off her fangs.

"You, if you think I'm going to retreat whenever you talk about Catua, you're making a big mistake."

"I see.... I'm sorry."

Loosely shaking his head to the side, Todd grinned from the bottom of his heart.

If you don't feel like hitting me with two or three shots, I can give you one, but I don't think Jamal is going to hit Todd with his tongue.

I don't think we need to do this directly, but there's no way to stop him.

As it was, Todd turned to Jamal and thought about crossing the Wall of the Citadel.

Fortunately, when we crushed the loophole, we knew the geography of the city.

Even Arachia, whose purpose could not be fulfilled, created chaos. Rather, it would be easier to escape than before the arrival of Arachia.

Apparently, Jamal is getting a bit more rampage and catching the eye.

"Jamal, I'm sorry, but I'm going." It's useless to say, but you're going to die of dogs. even if you get on board, you won't kill them all..... "

"Don't be silly! I can't do that!" I will take out one General Arachia. "

"... what?"

The sentiment that I knew was pointless, but I pulled out an unexpected word.

Holding his legs as he tried to move away, Todd looked at Jamal's face with a serious look. Jamal snorted grudgingly, "What?"

Did you really think I was ready to crush the ball?

"Oh, I thought so. I thought you wanted me to kill your dog."

"Damn it! You're riding on a smart thing, but you have a head to think about me!" There's a distinction between what you can do and what you can't do. "

With an unexpected statement, Jamal seriously surprised Todd.

There are some things to see in battle, but other than that, I thought that the diameter and behavior were too bad, and I didn't know what I was wearing my head for.

"If you're a coward, you can't help it." Katua couldn't see the man. I took out one of the generals. She was a good-ass woman. "

- Wait, I'm coming too.

"Ahh!? You're not satisfied with Catua's ass, but..."

“I didn't mean to commit suicide, but if I didn't, that's fine.”

In spite of his dishonorable suspicions, Todd sealed Jamal's mouth with his palm. Forcing him to shut up, Todd assembles a plan of action in his mind.

Naturally, it doesn't suit Todd's nature to move things forward in the hit-and-run production. But I'm sad to say, as Jamal and I continued to act together, my improvisation experience increased.

If Jamal is going to crush it alone to recapture the City Hall, I'll leave him alone. However, if the objective is to recapture Arachia, that is not true.

――――

The city government building is gradually cleaning up after the situation.

It's important to note that nuts and red women are suicidal to take action where they are. However, they were not able to take care of the situation unharmed.

If you want to loosen the tension, there's a gap there.

"Get in and make a fuss." If we take advantage of that gap and rescue one of the generals..... "

"Just now I was impressed by the water bubble.... there are two people who need to be vigilant. We can't let that happen where they are. What, don't worry about it."

Todd loosened his lips as he looked at the gap between his fingers as he shrugged off Jamal. The white canine behind it clenches its tip with its tongue and smiles.

At the end of his gaze, there was a figure of Arachia who was being taken out even though he was dying.

If they're not dead, we have the means to get them out.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― It was easy to sneak into the City Hall.

It was originally a base even for a short period of time.

Todd is usually in the habit of knowing the geography and distance of a place he stopped by once. Without knowing where to escape or where to hide, you won't be able to feel safe.

Therefore, after the burning of the land in the dense forest of Badheim, after entering Guaraluwa, I went to every part of the city, including the city hall, and smashed the map into my head.

I know exactly where to kill and where to hide.

Kill and escape, wherever the threat may be.

"Greetings"

When I dive into the indoor space of the city government building, I crush the eyes of a flickering surveillance.

Standing as a sentry is not an imperial soldier or a "people of Shudrak", but a vigilante of an autonomous organization that protected the security of the city. The disturbing elements who were gathered as guards and destroyed the city - the fine [Rebels], who can no longer be called, and the windscreen chickens used for that.

"I won't have any sympathy for you guys."

Fold the neck of the sentry grabbed with both hands upside down, and Jamal threw it upside down in irritation.

Jamal is more proud of being an Imperial soldier than an Imperial nobleman. The anger against the hostile Guardians is immeasurable, working with the Rebels who lead the Empire.

Even before the fall of the city, the Imperials and allies were in a position to cooperate, so it's impossible to get angry at the speed of change.

Well, it's an idea I don't have.

I didn't kill him if I didn't have to, just because I needed to.

There is no blame for changing too quickly, or for following a stronger one to survive. Of course, you have to pay with your life for making the wrong decision.

Then Jamal and I proceeded to the desired location while eliminating the two guards who were in the way.

There are jails in the basement of the city administration building, and it is customary for criminals to wait for the city's head in court. It is likely that Arachia, who was taken prisoner, was also imprisoned there.

Of course, the [Nine God Generals] opponent is not so different from the iron prison and the carpentry, but that's why people can't entertain them in their guest rooms.

Todd could have done that.

"There he is, a general."

A number of cells are arranged on the left and right sides of the hall in the underground space. In the form of a sinner with a lighter sentence being placed in front of him, the strongest one was the Oldest Prison.

And of course, Arachia's deepest cell was well guarded.

Unlike before, it's not the guards, it's the Shudrak woman. A woman with a large body dyed yellow hair could tell at a glance that her arm was standing.

Besides, due to the structure, we can't reach the prison of Arachia without a woman finding us.

In other words,

That's why you're sneaking in so quickly.

"... why are you so happy?"

There is an inevitable battle now, and Jamal's attitude of happiness struggles with understanding.

Todd doesn't want to kill anyone, and he doesn't want to fight if he can. If both are inevitable, choose an easier and less dangerous way.

But Jamal looked like he enjoyed jumping into danger from himself.

Most people think that a more dangerous person, a more bleeding one, can demonstrate loyalty to the Empire.

"I know it's decided." Fight like an Imperial soldier and win the battle! That's how I can stand up for myself as an Imperial soldier. "

――――

"Hah, what are you surprising?"

No, it was almost exactly as I thought it would be.

It is also unusual for a person to be unanimous in words and deeds so far.

In response to Todd, Jamal looked uncomfortable, but immediately shook his head. Then, he traces his unreasonable beard with his fingers and roars "Ahh",

No, you've reconsidered it, haven't you?

"I can't go along with suicidal behavior. If not, I'll think about it. I'm not reconsidering anything."

I thought you were trying to escape, but you didn't escape.

"I decided to take my souvenirs home to escape." The policy hasn't changed. "

"Oh, if you say it like this..."

Jamal's eyes bleeding and angry, his teeth twitching.

With that in mind, Todd detached himself from him and focused on his current target.

The guarded woman has a thick body and her limbs are protected by appropriate flesh. Given Shudrak's motor skills, Todd's axe may not be able to move his limbs in one shot.

Inevitably, the aim was squeezed upwards from the neck.

You have the choice of slapping your head, breaking your neck, or breaking your face.

"--This is probably the time for me to do this."

Having said that, Jamal stepped forward slowly and honestly.

I was lost for a moment to call it off, but Todd didn't say anything. In fact, the best thing to do was to push Jamal away, draw attention, and move in between.

If you are willing to save yourself the trouble, you don't need to cut it.

"Mmm, who's the no!?"

"Do I have to answer you? They defiled the sword wolves of the Volakian Empire. I don't want to win a battle where I wasn't there!"

Weirdo's out, no!

Looking at Jamal as she stepped out into the hall, Shudrak's woman set up a giant spear next to her. Meanwhile, the confronted Jamal pulled out his two swords and danced with a mad smile.

Jamal has a lot of problems and behavior, but his strength comes with origami. At the very least, if the opponent is a member of Südrak, we won't be late.

”I'm so psyched I'm so psyched I'm so psyched!”

"--Oh! Strong guy! No!"

Shudrak slammed his frenzied twin swords into myriads as he barked in a humiliating voice. Südrak managed to do it well with a big spear, but on the other hand, he was defending.

I don't think they had enough men to keep an eye on Arachia. However, I didn't think there would be anything that would appear in the recapture as soon as they were in the cell.

In addition, the lack of reliable troops is a deadly hole for the rebels.

Of course, it's not a ready-to-use ingredient.

Dampening his lips with his tongue, Todd jumped out late to Jamal, passing through the sides of the two men who exchanged swords while scattering fierce sparks, and jumped straight into the jail.

"Ah! My friend... is cumming!"

"You don't have time to see anything else?" Ahh!? "

Helped by an unusual and intelligent Jamal, Todd pounds his axe into the lock of his cell.

I don't have time to look for the keys. You can't destroy a cell, but you can break a lock.

There was a dull sound and a stiff gesture, and the tip of the axe crackled loudly. But instead, the key to the cell broke flashily, and Todd jumped in as he opened it with a snarl.

One General of Arachia!

In the cell, lying on a simple bed is a girl lying on her back.

Even if they belong to the same Imperial Army, there are not many opportunities for a single soldier to deal with the "General". Even the Three Generals are commanders of one army. Two generals, let alone one, are above the clouds.

Therefore, this was the first time that Todd had seen a single general, the "Nine Gods."

――――

Unconscious Arachia, she is lying on her back because of the slashing on her back. His back is engraved with painful scars, burned and stuffed.

The cut was burned at the same time, and it was a terrible scar. ― ― If it is not damaged by the hot blade, it will not cause such a scratch.

"What's that red woman doing..."

The power of the treasure sword in her hand also leaped through.

There is no further information, and Arachia does not answer the call. So Todd had no choice but to pick up Arachia's body and jump out of the cell.

We got it! Jamal, let's go!

”Let me do it... ahhh!?”

"That's why! What's left to see! What a mess!" hey ehhhhh!! "

Stolen from Arachia, Shudrak's female consciousness was lost for a moment.

In an instant, Jamal jumped into the gap between the women's consciousness, and the woman with the double sword stood up vertically with her big spear to prevent it. The impact ripped the spear from the woman's arm, and Jamal's spinning kick jumped up to the woman's torso, which was full of gaps.

A small scream hit the wall of the dungeon as the body of a woman slammed into it. She hit her head hard, and the woman collapsed and stopped moving.

Looking at it, Todd tried to order him to stab it, but--

"--Oh, it's getting noisy up there." Did you find the body of the guard? "

"Chi, I can't wait." The first general

"I'm unconscious, but I'm not dead. That's enough, isn't it?"

Answering Jamal's question, Todd ran out of the dungeon. It's time for the lead Jamal to clear the way, just past Todd.

"Who the hell is...... Guu!?"

"Get out of the way, you bastards!"

A guard peeking into the ground blows a slash, chasing Jamal's back as he runs through the vigilant city hall.

I'm sorry, but I can't afford to take care of Arachia's body. One of the [Nine Divine Generals] probably has a strong body. I only run for endurance.

"I'm out! Where are we going?"

"The main gate will be closed. - Follow me."

Sewing up the night in a noisy city, Todd took Jamal and jumped into the alley. Use pathways and sidewalks to blind enemies who are chasing you.

The battle is just over, the battlefields of chaos are cold, and if only a few Imperial soldiers dressed the same, 300 of them are in the city. You can't tell it apart.

And then--

"---!"

As soon as I heard the sound of the wind, the blade was shaken just behind Todd.

When I turned around, it was a thick, big arrow that pierced under my feet. Cut off, it was aimed at Todd with a ferocious momentum and was dealt with by Jamal.

Accurately targeted Todd's fleeing and hiding in the city.

Definitely the same archer who shot Todd through the torso a few days ago.

- They're watching me.

If that happens, you can't move around.

As soon as he leaves the alley, he is forced to leave, and Todd, who is taking Arachia, has a hard time moving agilely. Even if you try to kill the archer, the angle of the enemy's position is City Hall - you have no choice but to return three times.

Then we can abandon Arachia and flee. That's the most likely way to take your life, but you'll never know what you took the risk for.

In view of the current situation, we have explored what we can do to harvest the most.

"--Jamal, you know you're being targeted."

"Yeah, they're nasty." Too far to kill. We're going to get shot at one way or another. What do we do? ”

"... there's only one hand."

Gently, in Todd's words, Jamal's eyes narrowed.

Jamal's gaze for devotion, and Todd exhaled deeply and closed one eye.

"As soon as we jump out, the enemy will come after us." I'll have you go ahead and chop off the arrows just like before. It was not one shot, but two or three. I'll run as hard as I can so I don't shake off one of the generals. "

"Ha, it's not like that. Is that your hand?" Isn't it torn apart? "

"Ultimately, if you run out of cards, that's the only way." But I'm still lucky. "

Ah? Where is it?

"You have a pretty strong hand left."

The plan presented was almost a round toss to Jamal's sword power.

If Jamal doesn't chop off the flying arrows, both of them will die at that point. Todd's belief in recklessness makes him insane.

But I propose so. With Jamal's sword power, the possibilities weren't zero.

"... after all, Catua didn't have the eyes to see it." I thought he was a more brilliant guy. "

"Don't speak ill of my fiancé, oniisama."

Todd replied to Jamal, who scratched his head, by twisting his cheeks. When he heard that, Jamal breathed out a short breath, and then gripped the handle of the double sword again.

And then, turning his tough back to Todd,

"Okay, I'll get in." Sometimes it's not bad to bet like a fool. "

If it wasn't for me, you'd be gambling like that all the time.

"Shut up. - You shut up and follow me on my back."

The hate mouths clapped, and Jamal quietly raised his temper.

Looking at his back, Todd hugged Arachia's body again.

"Jamal, run straight out of the alley. If you go to the end of the road, it's the right path. That should give you more room to breathe."

And when he had heard the instruction, he rebelled against it in his head, and slowly shut his eyes, and then opened it again, and stepped forward.

"---"

As soon as I jumped out of the alley, an arrow with a strong wind pierced Jamal.

Jamal responded with a staggering reflex and cut off both swords. The shock returned to Jamal's wrist, scratching his chewed back teeth and laughing like a rabid dog.

Blood burns, hearts bounce, and a sense of life boils over Jamal.

The extreme concentration slowed the world down, and I felt like I could even feel a drop of sweat conveying my skin and a grain of sand flying around in the air that should be invisible.

"--Haah!"

Next to next, a storm of arrows rains like rain.

He stepped on the ground, wielded his sword while dancing, cut off arrows, and knocked them down. The sword dance, Jamal Aurélie's sword dance.

If it were true, I would be able to enjoy the dance of the dancers invited to the city government building tomorrow.

Jamal laughs when he sees that it is he who dances in his place. But there was a dance, a dance, and a sword.

Jamal admires Todd's battle as he rages on the attack.

Todd talks in silence as stormy, lethal arrows rain down on him. If Jamal gets out of his mind, he knows it will lead directly to death.

Therefore, Jamal drives Todd away from consciousness and pours all his spirits into avoiding the impending [death].

Go straight, dodge, knock out, step in, jump, pay off, cut open.

Hit it ─ ─

It miraculously ends the straight course of death, and hits the butt of the directed path.

The lapse of time was ambiguous, and the dance of the sword had been felt for several seconds. But we've only just broken through the first barrier. Refusing to relax, Jamal turned to the right as he had been told.

--At the end of the broken road, a group of Shudrak pointed their spears at us.

"Shit."

It's hard to beat that number of Südrakes when the shooters are after them. You can say it's impossible.

Of course, I was prepared to fight until I ran out of strength, but even if I ran out of strength, I couldn't leave anything behind. No way, it seems like we've been completely out of luck to be perfectly ahead of ourselves.

"Even if you stand around wisely, in the end, you'll be thrown out by luck."...... is empty. But it wasn't bad. "

In his blood-soaking hand, he checked the feel of the two swords, and Jamal spilled them on Todd's back.

It was not a pity that it wasn't bad, it was a sincerity.

I was often frustrated by Todd's thoughts and actions.

But in the end, he was an Imperial soldier and chose to use his power.

"I've done bad things to Katua, but I can't help it." He's one of the Empire's nobles. You would have been prepared for me and you to be like this. "

When she remembered the sister she had left in the Imperial Capital, Jamal felt a slight throb in her chest. However, it is quickly wiped out by the will to wage war on the current enemy, and the stench of blood wipes it all out.

I was relieved to hear that. ― ― I am the sword wolf of the Volakian Empire, even from the bone marrow.

"Let's do it, Todd. Let's at least show them one last time."

In a leaning forward position, Jamal licks the blood flowing from his right eye, which is blocked by an eye band.

And suddenly, to show his final prestige as an Imperial soldier, he leaps into the enemy head-on.

A deadly attack rains like a storm, but there is no longer any regrets.

Being who I am until the end was the most important award for Jamal.

△▼△▼△▼△

"...... until the end, you were a fool."

Todd murmured as he dived through the walls, listening to Jamal's violent roar in the distance.

I immediately crushed the hole that had passed through, carefully erasing the trail so that I could not be followed. Jamal won't be around in the city for a while, so you should have time to escape.

Jamal said it wasn't like that.

Imitating putting his life on the line for a teardown, Todd would never die. --No, I would never do such an imitation just to not die.

"If I let you run out of the alley, their attention will deviate from us." Well, I've done bad things to Katua..... "

The promise to bring my brother-in-law home will be unfulfilled, and my fiancé will be hurt badly.

I wanted to return to the Imperial City as soon as possible to comfort her. Fortunately, we've lost Jamal, but we've got another way to get back to the Imperial City.

It was also a demonic card that could lead to a bigger stepping stone than Jamal, who was in danger of being promoted to the Third General.

"...... Hime-sama"

"Oh dear, you look so shameful. [Nine Divine Generals] would have killed a hundred or two hundred people."

Arachia sheds tears from her closed eyes in Todd's arms. Looking at the tears passing through his cheeks, Todd thought vaguely that his companions were wearing eye clothes again.

After thinking about it, Todd suddenly leans his head.

And then--

"Was Jamal wearing any eyebrows on his face...?"
