That night...

Ingris and Raffinia were visiting a bathing area in the castle of the lord.

"Uh-oh, that feels good! The lord here is fat! I can't believe we can use it here."

It is a splendid bath made of stone, decorated everywhere.

A bit of hot water adds and subtracts, but it's comfortable for tired bodies.

Raffinia is in a good mood to sing her nose.

It seems that this used to be a private bathroom for the Lords, but now everyone in the castle can use it.

Ingris and Raffinia, who have just come to the castle, are no exception.

There was no one outside the two of us now because of the late night and it was rented out.

"Right. It's been a long time since I've had this relaxing bath."

"You can eat all you want, you let us use a good room because you're a girl, and it's totally better than staying in an inn ourselves ~"

"That's all I'm expecting. I did my best earlier."

Inside the castle, it seemed to hold on to the subject of Ingris and Raffinia, who destroyed only dozens of demonic stone beasts by themselves.

It was a great job, so I got a pretty good daily allowance.

The Lord's Heavenly Man (Highlander) woman said she was busy today and couldn't say hello, but she said she was going to get what she wanted tomorrow.

"How come you're here! And I said," Come on! 'You can bust him with an operation!

"You want some more good names..."

"It's not easy to understand."

and Rafinia rose out of the hot tub looking in a good mood.

"Go? I'll flush Chris' back?

and point to a wide washing area.

"Yeah, fine... why don't you hide it a little bit before?

Rafinia doesn't try to hide her body with a towel on her head, even if she gets out of hot water.

Expose your Ingris counterparts to what they were born with no shame at all.

When I looked at it this way, it became quite feminine - my chest swelling is already modest, but it is decent.

Silky skin that plays water is already lustrous enough.

- I think, etc., and I feel guilty.

Therefore, I would like you to hide it if you can. It is today.

Naturally, Ingris hides his body in a towel at the same time as he rises from hot water.

"Chris is too shy. Why do you have to hide it from us?

"Hey, don't pull it a little......!

"Because I have good stuff, it's a loss if I don't show it to you ~? So don't be shy to show it to me, will you? Heh heh heh heh."

"Also, already......! Don't worry, you'll flush your back!?"

"Oops. Chris's body is so pretty, you're gonna want to see it stick. Because her breasts are big and her shape is amazing, and her buttocks are cuddly."

"Oh, don't say that too much, because it's embarrassing..."

Indeed, what Rafinia said was true, and the limbs of Ingris, who was fifteen years old but better developed than mankind, were equipped with something called female hue about twelve minutes past.

It does look great, but my shoulders are a little stiff when it comes to my chest, so I have trouble.

Well, the size of the chest is also important when it comes to decorating, and there is the aspect that it is better to have the right size to show both clothes and yourself.

In that sense, it's not all bad.

"It's ideal... what a toddler shape I am, so you admire me. Oh, yes. Sit down there. I'll flush your back."

Inglis responds, sitting with his back to Raffinia.

"That's not true. Lani's growing, too, so your chest's still growing, right?

"Because you're rubbing yourself so hard. If you rub it, it's gonna get bigger, right?

A towel foamed by Raffinia rubs the back of Ingris with grace.

"I know, 'cause I see you all the time"

"Chris didn't have to rub himself to get bored, did he?

"Yeah."

"Nice. It's not fair......!

Rafinia's suspiciously brilliant eyes to say so don't look like Inglis with his back turned.

"Eh!

Raffinia stuck her hand in from behind the side of Inglis.

And I'll just grab that big one.

"Hiahhh!? Hey, hey Rani!? What are you doing!?"

"Wow! Big, heavy and puffy! This is what Chris looks like...... sooo awesome! You're not like me, are you? Nice."

"But you already know that, don't you? Stop it now and let go...!

"Hmm? Not yet"

"Also, already......! No, 'cause, yes, it's over! Now I'll flush my back!

And so on and so on.

"Oh, you're a customer, aren't you? Sounds like a lot of fun, huh?

And the woman who came into the bathroom spoke to me.

The long flax colored hair is slowly wavy and, along with its slightly lowered, crushed eyes, gives a very slight impression.

There was a so-called holy mark on his forehead that was close to the sign of the devil.

Surprisingly, my age is a little higher than this one, and I look like I'm in my late teens.

"Good evening. You're the mercenaries of the rumored girl, aren't you?

"" Good evening... "

"Sorry I'm late to say hello. I am the consul of this city of Nova, Sailene."

The heavenly girl smiled and bowed down.

The Lord of the Castle himself bows politely, and both Ingris and Raffinia return greetings in a little awe.

"My name is Ingris Eux. Sorry for the noise."

"It's Raffinia Bilford! Sorry for the noise!

"No, that's okay. Because it's noisier when you take a regular bath."

And Sailene waves once and for all.

It feels kind of like a very normal, gentle beauty.

On the contrary, Rafinia seems confused.

"Hey, what am I gonna do, Chris... you sound like a good guy even though you're a Heavenly Man (Highlander)?

Sneaky ear punch.

"That's not good."

The woman in the city cafeteria and the people in the castle had a good reputation.

It is the atmosphere that seems true at first sight.

- However, I do not deny the possibility that something is hidden behind that smile.

"What's wrong?

"" Yes, no! It's nothing......!

Inglis and the others keep their mouths shut.

"If you don't mind, can I talk to you as you soak up with me? Because of that."

And when Sailene said it, I heard butterflies and a number of footsteps from outside the bathroom.

"Sailene. Well!

"We're taking a bath together!

"Don't sleep. I've been waiting for you!

Three girls, between the ages of four and six, came into the bathroom with their clothes on.

It reminds me of my old self and Raffinia when I look at it. These are adorable kids.

"Oh? Lino, Miyumi, Chico. You were still up, weren't you?

And, Sailene calls the names of the children.

"Oh no more......! The sleeping roll I changed is going to get wet! Go back to your bedroom..."

A slightly wider middle-aged woman followed it in.

"It's okay, Mimosa. Then everyone, take off your clothes. Shall we come in together? And don't bother Mimosa too much."

The kids were happy to jump up.

"Wow!

"Take it off, take it off!

"If I were you!

Butterflies again, and the footsteps went out of the bathroom.

"Oh my God... I don't know what to say."

"I'm sorry, Mimosa. You're going to have a hard time."

"No. I won't stop thinking about that because it's hard work. We were boys, but they remind us of our dead children."

The woman, called Mimosa, grinned and went after her to help the children get dressed.

"Right? Busy, isn't it? Usually there are boys, it's a lot more noisy."

With that said, Sailene smiled full of charity.

And - while the kids were busy running around with patties and hanging hot water, Inglis and the others talked about themselves.

Being from the castle city of Yumil. that Rafinia is the daughter of the Marquis and Ingris is the daughter of the Knights Commander.

Being in Tokyo for both of us to enroll in the Knights School of Wangdu. Road banking became suspicious along the way, and I volunteered for mercenary...

"Haha - hilarious......! I can't believe we're running out of roadblocks because of too much delicious food."

"Hey, the food in this city is pretty good too...... hey Chris?

"Yeah. Right."

"Then I have to thank you for the food in this city. Thanks to you, you guys are really smart, aren't you?

"I'll do more than take care of you!

"I don't think I can stay that long, thank you"

"Yes, welcome"

A slight smile returns.

"Um, can I ask you something?

And, Raffinia cuts it out.

"What is it?

"Are those kids - the ones you're picking up at the castle?

"Yes, I am. Those kids lost their closeness - they were starving and trembling in the alley. I can't leave her like that alone."

"Are you a Heavenly Man (Highlander)...?

"Highlander, maybe."

"What do you mean?

"There are no starving and trembling children like those in Heavenly Territories (Highland). The food comes from the people on the ground and it's lubricated, so it can be shared with everyone."

"... heh. Right."

"I, even before I became consul of this city, had the opportunity to go down to earth, and that's when I found out there was such a child on earth. That's when I knew we weren't normal. Since then, I've always thought there was nothing I could do... so I volunteered for a consul to be sent to the ground. Because I wanted to save those kids by doing what I could... the same goes for people who couldn't move because of illness or injury."

"If you're a celestial person (Highlander) with a sailor-like mindset, aren't you in a minority?

And Inglis also asked the question.

"I guess so - but the important thing is not what many other celestial people (Highlanders) think, but what I want to do. I want to see them smile."

A strong glow of will could now be seen in Sailene's usually mild expression.

"Oh, great! I agree with you a lot! I'll work so hard already, please say anything!

Raffinia sparkled her eyes and held Sailene's hand tightly.

Because of his strong sense of justice, he is sensitive to the favors and good intentions of others.

And look at the person in front of you, not the big picture. So show your honest endorsement to Sailene.

The point is pure. It's never too bad.

If the city where Sailene was sent as consul wasn't here, but Yumil, could Raffinia say the same thing?

It is more likely that Yumil will do the same than this place did.

It's not that Sailene is bad.

Territorial lending to Heavenly Territories (Highlands) is determined at a higher level.

She made up her mind. There, she just happened to come.

- With her own aspirations and sense of problem, yes.

"I'm glad you said that! Thanks!

Sailene was laughing happily, too. These two may feel pretty good about each other.

"Um, I want to ask you one thing too..."

That's what Inglis offered.

"Yes. Go ahead?

"I feel weird about the flow of magic vegetables (mana) in this city - is there something?

That's the discomfort I've felt ever since I got into this city, but it looks like people's magic vegetables (mana) are being pulled at my feet. It's sucked, I could say.

Few people on earth today seem to have the cognitive power to magic (mana), so they are all unaware.

The effect is also insignificant and does not appear to be strong enough to affect your health.

I don't know if anything happened to Rafinia's health, and Ingris recommended the next city when Rafinia said she wanted to work.

but in the end this is happening, so if you know who you are, I want to know.

Because the mighty might be sleeping there.

If that's the case, I want to beat him up and hope he gets along.

When I was twelve years old, I couldn't make out with such mighty enemies as this since I let Ellis of Princess Tengei Wu (Heiral Menace) and Leon of the Holy Knight go through a full battle with Raal's changed Demon Stone Beast.

I've waited three years.

Come on, my next mighty enemy will show up before me.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything..."

And, Sailene shakes her head.

"Really..."

"I don't know what it is, but isn't it Chris's fault?

"Hmm - that shouldn't be..."

Then I think I'll find out for myself.

"Um - there's something I'd like to ask you both...?

And now that's what Sailene offered me.

"Yes, of course!

"Yeah. Whatever."

"Yes - that... even if the other person is not a demon stone beast, would you give me a hand?

Sailene had serious eyes, staring at Ingris and Raffinia.

◆ ◇ ◆

Here was Sailene's offer.

The poor quality knights of the previous Lords have formed a detachment party and have recently made suspicious moves.

There have already been several incidents where knights appearing around the city have been attacked.

As it stands, there is the possibility of a major incident involving residents.

- So I want to do something about it before then.

Rumor has it that lord Sailene will lead her own soldiers on their crusade, and they will try to take it backwards, ambush Sailene and take it.

There, they should pour almost everyone in.

- On the contrary, I want to exhaust that.

In the first place, as a force of war, they were better up there than the remaining knights in this castle, not very capable of hitting... but Inglis and the others with the slippage arms could.

If that means you can only stay for a short period of time, I want to do it now.

I want you to work with me for this city.

Ingris was honestly surprised to request an operation that would endanger the mercenary she met for the first time, not to mention the women who stood on their arms and seemed to be close to their age.

Don't look over there, or dare...

I couldn't afford that much and I couldn't replace my belly on my back. I don't know...

However, I can't help but say that Rafinia seemed willing to cooperate with it, so her eyes on certain people were certain.

Was there anything that would make sense between those who believed easily in people?

As for Ingris, there was nothing to disagree with if Rafinia was going to do it.

I am not willing to seek righteousness in my power.

It is the detention of Ingris Youkus that is not bound by political doctrinal claims.

Only expect the appearance of teething enemies while protecting Raffinia.

Honestly, you can't expect much of a knight to be the same as a local city like this.

I got an offer from Sailene, and three nights later,

The Inglis were on their way to an abandoned church outside the city.

Did I mention that this number is around thirty, including Sailene?

Perhaps the enemy will gather more numbers than this and let the numbers say things and attack them.

If you beat it up and tie it up, the job is due to end.

It is Sailene's wish not to kill her opponent as much as possible.

Even this one, it's better than being told to kill them all.

Rafinia would be easier to do that too.

"I see you, Chris."

"Right - it's time for the ambushing enemy to show up."

The Abandoned Church is in a poor prospect surrounded by woods, and nearby there is something like the entrance to a natural cave.

There's quite a lot to hide. It's a great place to lay down your soldiers.

And the signs that people were lurking were also felt by Ingris.

"It's about time. Take care, Sailene and all of you."

Seilene nods with a serious face as Inglis calls for vigilance.

"Yes......! I believe in you!"

"It's okay. We'll shield ourselves and protect you...!

Captain Nash, who is well today, was also encouraging Sailene.

If we go a little further...

In the abandoned church, the surrounding woods, the natural caves - from among those that hide themselves everywhere, the knights of the enemy popped up at the same time.

"Wow! You're here! You're right."

"Right..."

Ingris calmly counts the number of enemies.

Nearly a hundred? It is about three times the size of this one.

- Well, it's no big deal.

"Ha-ha-ha! Your plan is foreseeable! Heavenly people trying to take our homeland! You'll kill me in this place!

A disappointing physique, a magnificent knight emerges from within the church and makes a mockery.

"... a former Knights leader hawker! It's their leader!

Captain Nash taught the Inglis and the others.

"Ok, then you should get him!? I'm coming!

Raffinia advances and squeezes the rain of light (Shiny Frow).

Pretty weak. To the extent that it reduces killing power and bounces people off.

Adjusting the power is a good thing about this Demon Mark weapon, Artifact.

"Ha ha! You want me to fight these few opponents!

"Quality over number! There's only so many targets!

Raffinia releases an arrow of light straight.

And...

"Play it!

Arrows of light diffused, involving numerous enemies and bouncing off.

"" "Uhhhhhhh!?" "

That alone had nearly ten people caught up and nodded to the ground.

"Hey, what is that -!? Says it's the Advanced Mark Demon Mark (Rune) and the Demon Mark weapon Artifact!? Awww...!

Although it does not extend to the Holy Knight of the Premium Mark, which can be considered a hero of the Redemption, from the public's point of view, knights bearing the Demon Mark (Rune) of the Premium Mark are also a sufficiently threatening object, and this kind of reaction can be snorted out.

"I'm sorry! It makes me look like a weak fig!

Once again, Raffinia squeezes and releases the rain of light (Shiny Frow).

"That's you."

A spear descended from heaven with his voice, shooting through the arrows of light.

Makes a sound with Bashun, and the arrows of light are extinguished.

"Become...!? What!?"

It was a woman with long, glossy red hair who stepped down and rolled out the spear.

The age I saw was around twenty years old.

She is a beauty who is slender, tall, and has an even body.

Above all, it is Rin's seemingly powerful look.

"I'm sorry. Let me crush it. Curse me for my misfortune."

The woman says pale and easily pulls through a spear pierced deep into the ground with one hand.

"Ohhhh! Lord Sistia! That's just great!

"Shut up. You'll have to finish the rest of the fish."

A woman called Sistia cuts off without looking at you.

Try to get closer one step or two towards Raffinia.

Its intense presence, its atmosphere - Ingris remembered.

It's Princess Tian Ee Wu (Heiral Menace) -!

The atmosphere surrounding her was very similar to that of Ellis in battle.

I don't care why you're here or why you're here.

There will be Princess Tian Ee Wu (Heiral Menace) as a hostile force in front of us now.

That's enough. What a surprise...!

Finally, for the first time in three years, I have the opportunity to see my growth in action!

Ingris served as an inner excitement and occasional hold, interrupting him softly before Rafinia.

"Rani. Protect Master Sailene and everyone else. I'll take care of him."

"Ugh, yeah... you really look happy at times like this, Chris is"

"... that? Got it?

I was going to keep it down because I don't want any excess.

"What are you talking about? You've got completely different eyes, and you're so stingy."

"Oh, that...?

So you're saying you couldn't hide it at all?

I shouldn't, they think I'm kidding.

"... what are you going to do? Are you licking me? I didn't know incompetence like you would stand before me."

"Ugh."

Ingris smiled charmingly...

Convert the spiritual hormone (ether) around you into a magic hormone (mana) to show it.

In the meantime, Sistia's expression changed.

"Ugh... what is it -!? Nothing until a moment ago -!"

It's still important to convert the power to show it, as the other person can see.

This will give you the freedom to fight from the beginning.

I think it's good to have mastered this technology.

"Ahhh, lying... to Mr. Inglis, such a vast..."

Sailene was also reacting if she noticed.

Without touching it, Ingris continues his confrontation with Sistia.

"If you are Princess Tian Ee Wu (Hailal Menace), you think too much that you are at the top. There's something you guys don't see, don't you?

Inglis eyes gleam.

They are the eyes of a samurai who combine blade sharpness with flaming heat.

"I don't need to be careless or chronic. Come with all your might. Come on in."

With that said, Ingris set himself up in a much more beautiful position.
