About an hour after entering the Kingdom of Harzion.

We were still running the carriage in the meadow.

The Kingdom of Harzion is mostly a village or settlement, except for the King's Capital, which is consolidated with something like a tribe.

The number varies from settlement to settlement, but tens of thousands of people live solidified in many places.

The Demon Clan also said Felix Glazio before, but most guys think of it as weak eating.

There are all kinds of settlements, but all those that are fighting and winning. Weak settlements are destroyed elsewhere.

It was Seredonia Harzion who made it a country a few decades ago, following most settlements and such.

Millions of people live there, Harzion, the king's capital.

Around it is the kingdom of Harzion that there are settlers who are aiming for the tiger sight and the neck of King Seledonia.

In about five hours you'll be on the road past the barracks to the King's Capital.

We're still a long way off.

"You don't find many settlements."

Says Crist as he looks around in the carriage.

I look over while I do your part, but the meadow continues and there is no shadow of the settlement.

"When I got here, I thought it was about one of the settlements."

He remembers when he came to this country before.

"The demon colonies travel quite a bit. I won't be in the same place for a year."

"Really?

"Oh, I know because I've been to the demonic settlement a couple of times too"

Mr Liberto replied as he fell asleep in the carriage.

It's so shaky a lot. I think I can roll over to sleep in it. I wonder if my back hurts.

"What do I care if I'm new to the Demon Nation?"

"Really?

"Yeah, well, the deputy commander isn't much of an outside assignment. I've been working on paperwork lately, and I don't like it."

"I super agree. I think the paperwork should only be done by the captain."

The Knights and two vice captains of the Magic Knights are saying stupid things.

I guess that kind of work is still tough. Neither of us seems suitable for paperwork or anything.

And even then, as I ran the carriage along the road, I could see one settlement.

As far as Crist can remember, they didn't have a settlement there.

Settlements are created to completely block the way to the Wang capital.

"I mean, that..."

The settlement is still far away, though it does not look clear.

"You're under attack."

That is what Mr. Liberto affirms.

I agree, that look is definitely being attacked.

"Seriously? No, can you see it from here first?

"I can't see either."

Cristo and Mr. Viviana are trying to stare but don't seem to see much.

"Me and Eric have good eyes because we're used to melee. I want Crist to see this much."

"No, no, I'm gonna knock out a bunch of demons while half asleep. I hope I'm not with you guys"

I think that doesn't really matter how good your eyes are, it's just that you're sharp in battle.

"But what do we do? It's almost blocked the road, and its blocked settlements are under attack. It's so hard."

"Hey Liberto. You're fighting over there, aren't you? Then why don't we just take a detour within the moment?

"Is it best to do so? And Christ, that's not a fight."

"Huh? Aren't you fighting?

"You said you were being attacked.

Yes, that's not a fight.

"You're close to a one-sided kill, that one."

"Huh! Really?"

I think the sights that Mr. Liberto and I are seeing are pretty much the same.

Fully armed men are cutting and killing people who can't resist anything.

Probably the side where the people living in that settlement are attacked.

Of course there are people who are vulnerable to the Demons.

For these people, King Ceredonia is the Messiah.

If you live in the king's capital, there will be no battle, because there will be a king.

But there would also be a limit to the number of people living in the King's Capital.

Those people have no choice but to live outside the King's Capital.

And settlements with vulnerable people who don't like to fight will be targeted.

"Well, they haven't noticed us yet, and if we're gonna make a detour, we're gonna have to do it now."

That's what Mr. Liberto says as he looks at the settlement, but Cristo is lost.

Normally, you should take a detour here.

There's nothing in particular to gain from our involvement in that battle, and it's usually dangerous.

If we are to be the prince's escort, we should act even less to get involved.

But I'm wondering if the prince should make a detour.

"What are we going to do, Crist? You're the star of this trip. We're just escorts, and you have to look at this country and learn."

That's what Mr. Liberto says to Cristo in a harsh tone.

This time the leader is not Mr Liberto or Mr Viviana, the deputy commander, but Cristo.

We follow Kristo's instructions.

"Ku......!

Cristo sees the settlement. It didn't look like Crist until just now, but it would look somewhat closer now.

Unilateral killings are still taking place in the settlements.

Cristo has a sad face to see how it goes.

And Crist lays down his face once and says it up as if he had decided what to do.

"... take a detour -"

"Go help, Cristo"

I told him to block the word.

"Ha? No, take a detour..."

"You can't obey me if I'm told to."

He looked so sorry, he said he would regret it.

Christ may have thought about our safety.

If you go help that one and the enemy is stronger. That's what I was thinking, trying to abandon that settlement.

You're a sweet guy, Crist. It hasn't changed at all since my last life.

When I see a guy in trouble, I feel bad about not helping him. He's the one who can sacrifice himself for people.

That's why I was helped by you and me and you became best friends.

"You want to help, don't you? Then I'll go and help you."

"... Huh!

That kindness is what's good about you.

That's what I like about it.

So I have to act so you don't let that kindness go.

"Look, give me directions, Prince Crist."

I'm getting out of your seat.

It would be better to run as fast as you can from here than get there faster than a carriage.

"Ha, I don't have a choice."

Mr. Liberto descends from the carriage with a sigh.

"Me and Eric are enough. Viviana, take your place."

"Yes."

"You guys......!

Crist, standing up in the carriage, looked us in the eye and saw what we did.

But in the next moment, a hoot laugh.

"Thanks, Eric."

"That's what I'd like to hear from you after you've completed your mission."

"Right. Eric, Libert! Come and help that settlement!

I don't think he was lost until just now, and he gave us instructions with a grand stand.

"Okay!

"Leave it to me."

I definitely need to help protect the kindness of my best friend.

I aroused myself more than usual by Christ's instructions and ran to help me to that village.
