"What are you talking about!?

While you're in a hurry to reveal your inner feelings, you look like you're wasting your feet. The stash of guardian stones is the last fortress in this state.

Never mind me, Troy pointed the knife at the dress. From the neck to the chest, she was slit to pieces with a loud noise.

"Ahhhhhh, what are you doing to my dress!?

Bullshit, you yarrow!! Well, that wasn't the case. It's such a crisis!!!

"Ah, this is it. I've been interrupting a lot."

In the valley of the bare chest, the protective stone glowed purple.

Troy didn't want to touch it, but he hooked the chain part of the necklace with a knife and pulled it up.

It was fragile, and a round stone rolled from the top of the chest to the table, and the bounce rushed to the ground. The concom and the dry sound echo on the floor and stop.

Then Troy threw some sort of magic at the floor without putting his hair in between.

"─!?

In a place that I cannot see, lying on my back on the platform, there is a non-calm sound of destruction.

"Wow, what is that? What kind of material? Should I get one scratch? Cheat on you, big prophet. Does it feel like a rare piece of equipment? Where the hell do you get this stuff?"

I was relieved by Troy's astonishing voice.

As expected, the Guardian Stones received from the Dragon cannot be destroyed with a little slack.

"Please don't break my accessory on your own!?

"It's not that cute anyway, is it? Well, no. I just let you out of the way of a dangerous object that could interfere with the ritual. I can't afford to waste any more time involved."

They decided to leave the protective stone in the corner of the room. Having already switched consciousness to another matter, Troy disappeared into one of three doors.

Beyond the door, I think I'm getting ready for something. What are you going to do now?

The protective stones are getting away from me, and I'm completely full of them.

In the meantime, the most troublesome thing that's happening right now - is that more manpower?

It seems that Grace will not come here, but what about the brainwashed distributors?

When we were kidnapped last time, we hired a bunch of lousy disposables. Those pussies were moving at their own discretion, and they weren't implied.

Anyway, if it's not Troy, you can hurt me.

Speaking of which, kidnapping at that time was definitely a planned crime. It was aimed at the timing of Yuka's defensive journey out of the castle. Well, what about this one?

I was invited to the Royal Box two days before the founding festival. Not to mention nonpublic information. It is difficult to imagine that there was a preparation period. It is not strange to commit a random crime that is decided on the spot at the opportunity of gushing down.

So, is it too optimistic to expect a lot of coarseness? I wonder if you already know where I am. I think Elias can handle it.

Oh, and it's really annoying that we have to wait for help. I want physical strength.

"Did you come up with a way to pinch it?

Your thoughts are blocked by teasing words.

"Do you think I'll answer that?

Are you bluffing while poisoning yourself with nothing at all?

Turning his eyes, Troy came out with his luggage in both hands. I'm walking around the room, getting ready for everything. It seems to be a storage area, as he brought out some tools when he entered the door.

"What have you been doing?

I'll ask you about the approximate answer.

"Of course, under the ritual of sacrifice. I'm going to do something a little different today, so I'm busy. I don't know when that scary daddy's gonna storm me anymore. You can't waste a moment."

Troy answers sloppily.

I knew it....! The crisis that I was feeling is imminent as a reality. There's a way to kill me, even if you can't do it directly. Hopefully, I wanted a passive method such as a starvation course without imprisonment.

"Even if I can't kill you myself, I can summon myself. Eating and killing by the monsters I summoned was just the result, something I didn't know.

She says she's a jerk. No matter what you think, the sacrifice at the source of the earthquake will be the first to be targeted.

I wonder if Troy would forgive me for sticking to the rescue.

"When I think about it, the time alone with you is invaluable."

While steadily preparing for fun, he starts beating his usual light mouth again.

"Not to mention this is the last time. Enjoy chatting as little time as you have left."

"If you can answer any questions."

I'll answer in the middle of the day.

"Okay, okay, I'll answer anything. Listen as much as you can to make sure you don't have to ~"

You yarrow. You're totally willing to kill.

This is our best chance. I won't waste it. I'm going to ask you to be a little bit discreet while clearing all your questions from one end.

"Are you going to do this alone? What about Grace and the others? In the first place, the summer solstice is over six months away."

Troy began to present his answers as pleasantly as a teacher who answered his students.

"The first one. I'm in charge of summoning the sacrificial summer solstice. I usually borrow Grace's hand and leg, but I didn't prepare it because I did it suddenly this time. Because that's not a chance for kidnapping, is it? Well, I can't afford time this time, so I decided to do it alone. [M] Above all, I don't want anyone's help with the ritual of sacrificing raw (...) first."

――――

"I don't want anyone to help me with the ritual of dedicating my teacher to sacrifice" - I was more shocked than I thought.

The feelings that were always painted without grasp seemed transparent.

Troy goes on to say nothing to me.

"Second. There is a rhythm at a time when it is easy to connect with the world. The summer solstice is the best, and the winter solstice is the opposite. That's why I always chose the summer solstice. I don't really care about Grace around here. Our purpose is not to summon monsters."

I soon understood the meaning of the statement. Their summonses are always summoned, and the rest can be said to be largely abandoned. I'm obviously not interested in the monster itself.

"Stabilizing the migration gates more robustly, right?

Troy nods to my guess.

"Yes, at least for Grace and the Monster Side, that's the ultimate goal, and the Summon Monster is one of the most effective means. It's just a process for me."

Troy's purpose beyond that. The reason the human Troy helps monsters.

My chest is twitching.

- Maybe I know why.

Confused by sentiments other than anger, he scolded himself for drawing information.
