Me, Iris and Loomia went into the king's capital.

I will steer the carriage as your master and send Iris straight to the royal palace.

Roomia dropped him off in front of my quarters.

Martha was waiting in front of the quarters.

Roomia jumped at the same time as the carriage stopped and hugged Martha.

It's a reunion between my best friends. Watching it makes me kind of happy.

By the way, Remy was stuck on Martha's back. Looks like he's waiting to be introduced.

"... that's a good one. Who can forgive their hearts and embrace them so grandly?"

After the carriage ran out, Iris said.

He looked jealous. Somehow, but I know how you feel.

Iris has a best friend named Odette, but he has a position as a princess and a duke's warrant, so he can't hug her as grandiose as Martha and Loomia.

But now Iris is bringing back the memory of Alice, who was just a village girl in her past life.

When I was a village girl, I used to run around with friends and grass.

Maybe I'm thinking about those days.

... Better stress things out here.

Prepare for an opportunity for Iris and Odette to relax without worrying.

"Iri-- No, Your Highness, I will grant you my hope."

I called Iris in the carriage from your station.

For once, you might have eyes. Let's go in Guardian Knight and Princess Mode.

"I'll prepare you so His Highness can do the same with whom he wants you."

"─ Huh?

"Your Highness should return to the Royal Palace and obtain permission to stay out. If the location is Odette's quarters, the Duke's Lady, it's possible to get permission. While His Highness is in the dormitory, let the Bat Corps guard him around the building. That way, you don't care about people's eyes, you're free to sift, right?

"Yes, okay? Milo...... No, Mr. Yuki"

"Sure. I don't mind."

"Can I hold you like that?

"I'll talk to Odette about it from me."

"… is that something that Odette should be allowed to do"

"Well, if you're Odette, you might not care. For once, let's talk about it."

"... I get it"

Iris, dressed in a dress, came near your table and whispered...

"As My Lord said, I will do everything in my power to get permission to stay out"

"... ok. Iris, by the way."

"Yes?"

"Odette's the one to hug, not me."

"... don't read my mind"

Don't be a patron of the village.

I can tell by the tone of what I'm up to.

Iris' line, I skipped the subject on the way.

"And... if Alice says, 'Pfft. I took your word for it."

"That's my road. You know what a villager's heart is..."

"... if you're sneaky, you don't mind hugging me."

With that said, Iris opened his eyes.

Apparently it was a surprise.

"It's going to take a little longer for me to take Iris. You'd better get stressed out."

"… could I have a few more passionate words?"

"I'll think about it by the time I make Her Royal Highness my daughter-in-law"

"It's a promise, isn't it?

"Oh."

After a while, the carriage reached the royal palace.

Me and Iris broke up when we decided to contact each other later on "Bat Communications".

"Oh. I wonder which one is there, Yuki-Grossalia?

When I went to return the carriage, they called me.

Looking back, there was an old warrior carrying an axe. It's General Barnes.

"We wanted to return the carriage. General Barnes."

"Mm-hmm. Seems useful, more importantly."

"I'm always sorry. Her Royal Highness said hello."

"You don't need to thank me. It's my hobby to help young people."

General Barnes made me laugh in a grand manner.

"Besides, I'm proud to see Yuki come out. Yuki-Grossalia, a C-Class sorcerer who made the princess Iris his escort knight and raised the title (sneeze) of his parents' home by two levels... because the presence of the Lord has become a rumor (rumor) among martial officers."

"Is that a rumor...... I didn't know that"

"I think Yuki is a reliable ally. I'm going to lead the soldiers on a tour of land close to the Empire."

"The General himself, will he go near the Empire?

"Oh, I hear you have some disturbing information."

General Barnes, in his armor, let him slap the axe on his back.

I see. The kingdom seems to be beginning to take action against the empire.

"In time, the" Sorcery Guild "will also receive a request for cooperation. As far as I'm concerned, Yuki, what kind of magician would you like me to work with?"

"If you have orders from the 'Magic Guild', of course we are willing to cooperate"

I want information about the Empire, too.

I hear there's a First Priest over there.

I want to find out as much as I can about where and what he's doing.

"Of course, if anyone else is to be appointed, then I'm sorry."

"You're young and you're humble. Her Royal Highness loves it."

General Barnes nodded satisfactorily.

"The good ones are easily jealous. But, Yuki, any one of you can handle it well."

"... I hope so"

Because in my last life, I've been mistaken for a demon king and killed.

I'm going to be careful not to do that in this world.

"Some nobles will not be comfortable with Yuki which runs up the street of birth. I'm an escort knight to His Highness Iris, and I don't think the Duke's Lady Odette will give a hand to anyone close to him... but there's got to be someone trying to get him into exploration. Be careful."

"Thank you for your advice. Master Barnes."

"If anything happens, say it. I owe Yuki."

"Borrow...?

"My deputy was in Torrias territory before. That's when the Beast King was attacked."

"... Huh?

"The deputy was helped by Yuki who was the demon and the mysterious Black King's Ride (Lord). When I lead the army, I am sure that Yuki wants to be an accompanying magician. And how do I owe Yuki that?"

Oh well.

Was Mr. Barnes's men there when me and Odette fought the 'Beast King Ride'?

"Thank you. General Barnes."

"But be careful around you."

"Understood."

That's why General Barnes and I broke up.

On my way home, I stopped by the Magic Guild.

Because I was concerned about the 'Elusion' situation.

After me and Odette found the door to the fifth basement, did anything change?

"I'm sorry. The stairs to the fifth floor do not seem to be in a state where they can still pass…"

That's what the guild receptionist said to my question.

When I was in Operation Flora-Zamel, I defeated the Golem that Priest Ghost was manipulating to get the key to the fifth level.

After that, in the presence of the Sorcery Guild, I opened the door.

However, the stairs to the fifth basement were sealed off.

The thin stairs were packed with big rocks, molten metal, wood, etc.

It's unclear who did it because there's no record... but it's probably 'Sanctuary Church'.

─ ─ They didn't want anyone other than themselves to go any further.

─ ─ They wanted to hide what was on the fifth floor.

─ ─ They wanted to trap something (...) on the fifth floor.

It has been discussed at the Wise Men's Conference of the 'Magic Guild', but no conclusions have been drawn.

In the end, the senior magician sends in a reconnaissance demon.

He's currently in the process of choosing the type of demon to use and the magician in charge.

I can't help all this.

My "Black King (Lord = of =) Ride (Noir)" might be able to destroy the barricade, but it's too conspicuous. Besides, I don't know what's on the fifth floor. Breaking through on the Dark Clouds with a King's Ride (Road) is dangerous.

Lyle wrote down, "It's dangerous. I'm not going anywhere."

Until we find out more, we'll follow his word.

"Thank you. Let me know when new information comes in"

I told the lady at the reception that I left the Sorcery Guild.

At the same time, Neil the bat comes. It's a message from Iris. I hear you got permission to stay out.

Now you're staying at Odette's with Iris, Loomia and Martha.

"... I have to be ready too."

There's no way a Baron Boy is staying in Duke's Lady.

I'm a supporter of the Iris.

Mr. Barnes advised me, too. Be vigilant around yourself and Odette.

I assembled the Bat Corps.
