Souen no historia

Long underground passages. It is an evacuation passage in the Imperial Palace and will only be liberated when the Emperor is in danger.

Now there are cutlets and multiple footsteps. Four men hold a cage, and the emperor is seated in it.

In addition, there are three people walking in the same direction around the cage. Linne Alto Landberg, called The Emperor's Medicine, and Arkoko Bistočka, called The Emperor's Kitchen. And Rob Verch from The Emperor's Ears.

They realize that the demons have attacked, and this is how they guide the Emperor to the evacuation corridor and take him to a safe place.

Rob's feet stopped sharply as he walked in front of him.

"What's going on, Rob?

Alcoco sounds like he's lost his mind. But Rob looks ahead with a sharp look.

"... there's something here"

As you said, you can hear footsteps from the darkness ahead.

Damn, it's almost time for an exit.

Rob holds a whip on his hips while whipping his tongue. It is a type of whip called his weapon, the Mysterious Whip. It is stretchable and has the ability to operate freely by passing magic.

The footsteps are gradually getting louder. The one who emerged from the darkness...

"... who are you?

"Is it worth answering, or what?

A creepy young man with silver hair and a red bandana on his forehead - Neos.

Then the sound of the cage falling from behind Rob turned around, and the men in charge of the cage were all bleeding out of their bodies and collapsing.

But what's more surprising is...

"What do you mean, Arkoko?

Arkoko pulled the Emperor out of the cage and held him in his arms. Perhaps both Pickle and the Emperor are stunned when they see where the Emperor does not move.

"Heh, Your Majesty!?

Linnet tried to run away screaming, but Rob could stop it.

Don't move around, Linne.

"So, where is your Majesty!?

"Calm down!

"Ahh......!

Arkoko opens her mouth with a bitter smile as Rob yells at her and shuts her mouth.

"Ah ah, if you have to be nice to women, Rob"

"Are you going to start a rebellion... Arkoko?

Well, there's something I need.

"... what the hell is this? And... who is he?

"You don't know? Hey, Neos, I don't think you're famous.

"Not interested"

Arkoko shrugged his shoulders as he watched Neos look suddenly.

"Neos....? That's the name I heard somewhere... hmm? What about the real killer of the Puppeteer Murder in the Holy Land of Lavach?

"Oh, that's Rob. I can't believe you know about the minor neos!"

"He was supposed to be dead, but he was named about a year and a half ago after he was confirmed to exist. Why is that in a place like this?

"Well, to put it simply, here's what he wants."

"What is that?

Arkoko, don't talk about anything else. I need you to get over there.

"Yes, yes. Because it's as irritating as ever. Now let's hurry up..."

At that time, a sparkling silver object flew out of the darkness towards Arkoko.

"Wow!?

Arkoko, who had been poked with Islam, panicked and strayed from his upper body. Closing the gap, Rob fills the distance and pays the bill.

"Wow!?

When the Emperor was released from his falling arm and Rob grabbed her gently, he manipulated the Mysterious Whip in his hand and wrapped it around Arkoko's body to restrain her.

"Ahhh, I'm caught..."

It sounds as if there is no sense of urgency. Rob leaves the emperor with Linnet and stands in front of them.

"Someone threw a knife just now!

Arkoko was right. It was the knife that flew at him.

"I'm sorry about that. He who treats the Emperor badly deserves it."

Two people emerged from the darkness. It was Nowem, the demon king of [Saffir Country], and Yoyo Eight Steps and Crowtail.

Joyo narrowed his eyes toward Neos.

"Neos D. Dress Auger....."

"Don't call her that. I'm just a neosaur. Soon I'll be god."

"You're as crazy as ever."

"... what happened to Saudi Alcasa? Is he close, too?

"Do you think I'll teach you that?

Neos and Yoyo kept looking at each other.

"Demon King Nowem... I'm glad you made it."

"Rob, I'd like you to explain the situation, but I don't think we have much time."

"He looks familiar to Neos, but you can trust him?

"Of course not. Her name is not Yoyo."

"Well, then, she's Natsuki-hushi's eighth heir... I see"

After all, the name of the "Spiritual Instrument" does not seem to be Date, and he also knows about Yoyo through its connection.

"Hey, Neos! I just want you to do something about this!

"Shut up, Arkoko, you're trapped there. Well, I didn't guess from the beginning."

Then cracks appeared in the space around Neos, and from there, puppets with stitches appeared all over the body.

Automatic Doll! ?

At the same time as Rob's screams roared, he attacked Linnet, who was holding the emperor together.

"Give me the emperor."

"Let it go!

As soon as Rob stepped on the floor, a large magical formation spreads to his feet, from which Zuzu and countless black objects emerge, hitting the doll.

"... bugs?

As Neos murmured, Rob summoned the black bug. His magic called the Shadow Bug (Black Mist) . You can shape and summon various forms of insects.

"Eat and kill the dolls!

As if black smoke had appeared, fine insects would cover the doll's body and steal its movements. Then the black bugs swell up, causing a small explosion.

"Well, that's one of the five ministers. Use strange magic."

"I don't want you to tell me. Bugs eat you like a doll!

And the black lumps are cast into Neos, and Jojo also keeps his distance, lest he be caught in it. The insects begin to cover Neos' body, creating a human black object.

"I'll let you blow it up!

Suddenly, however, the bugs sprayed as if they had lost sight of the target.

"Well, what do you mean...?

I don't see Neos there after it sprays.

"What!?

Turning around, Linnet was on the floor, and Neos held the emperor in his arms.

"Hey, when did you---!?

Rob couldn't help but be stunned. I thought I caught him, because there was no Neos there, and when I realized it, I blew the Linnet behind me and got the Emperor.

"I got what I wanted. There's no use here anymore."

Then, the crack runs again into the space around the neos, and the neos disappears so that it is sucked in there.

"Wait, wait, you!

Rob tried to rush, but Neos moved faster, and Rob's hand never reached the Emperor.

"Kh...... Arkokoaaaaaaa! What the hell were you going to do!

Rob's anger is directed towards Arkoko, who is still lying on the floor.

"No, Neosu wants the Last Soul."

"What!? Oh, so the Emperor...!? No, but why did you betray me?

He grabs his breasthold and yells.

"You don't have any chocolate. If the job goes well, Neos will make me my own slave doll. That way, you can leave it to the doll without having to go looking for the ingredients yourself, and above all, you swear loyalty without complaining about any impossible problems. And it makes me look so beautiful! If you're a man, you're sure about that.

"Come, a guy named you...."

"It's the worst."

"That sucks."

"That sucks."

After Rob, Norwegian, Yoyo, and Linnet turn their contempt eyes.

"Ahahah, don't give me that twitchy gaze ~"

"Shit, that's enough! I can't take your time right now! Linnet, let's get back to The Imperial Palace!

"Ha, hahahaha!

"Let's go with the rest! The Emperor is in danger. We can't just ignore it!

"Yeah, and I'm sure there's also a sawdust....."

Yoyo seems to have a hunch that he will be able to see Sauji if he goes there.

"Then hurry up!

Under Rob's leadership, they turned back the way they came.
