"Ugh... ugh..."

When Raphael's consciousness woke up, he saw a round peeking window in his sight.

A clear sky with a bright outlook is reflected there.

"Empty...? This is the ship...!? Yes, the Rainbow King (Prismer)...!?"

This must be the ship that the Holy Knight used as his main envoy for this operation.

Raphael remembers how during the battle with Rochefort, the rainbow king (Prismer), a giant bird that moved after destroying the ice that covered him, fired countless bombs of light.

"Ah, Raphael! I'm glad you're awake...!"

"Is your body okay?" Is there anything painful about it? "

Inside the room, Ellis and Ripple were watching.

"I'm fine." I'm sorry that you two were protecting me. "

The two men who were responsible for Raphael were in a painful state.

Ripple has bandages around her neck and arms, and Ellis has an eye bandage around her eye.

Ellis and Ripple were protecting Raphael from the rainbow king's attack.

The result is that Raphael is safe and sound.

"It's okay. Princess Tenjin (Hylal Menas) is tough, isn't it?" If you leave it alone, it'll heal sooner or later-- "

"Yeah, don't worry about it." This is an exaggeration, but I'm just trying not to show you the scratches because I'm worried about the rotation. It's not a hindrance to moving. "

"... thank you. How long have I been out of my mind...?"

Have you slept for about seven days?

Yeah, right.

"Seven days...!? Even though the Rainbow King (Prismer) has moved, I can't fulfill the duties of the Holy Knight...! What happened after that...?"

"The Rainbow King (Prismer) is on his way to the capital." There's no rush - we're ahead of the curve and slowly retreating. ”

"For now, there was no big city on the path taken by the Rainbow King (Prismer)." That's why I don't think there has been that much damage-- "

"I see. However, the Rainbow King (Prismer) is like a mass of rainbow rain (Prism Flow) - a magic stone beast created by the Rainbow King (Prismer) overflowing around and attacking the villages and towns...?"

"Well, there is." That's why the Holy Knights are divided into small platoons, working on the demonic stone beast's crusade to reach the settlement near the path of the Rainbow King (Prismer) - at the behest of Prince Wayne and Special Envoy Theodore. ”

"I see... but do you have enough troops?"

"It's okay there." At the moment - there are reinforcements, of course? "

Ripple-sama, what are reinforcements?

"It's the Blood Chain Brigade." They seem to be hunting down the number of magic stone beasts created from the Rainbow King (Prismer). "

"Blood Iron Chain Brigade...? Is that... okay?"

"It's better to use anything that can be used at a time like this - it's the opinion of the prince and the special envoy." It's complicated, but I agree. The damage we did in the previous battle was not small, and the Holy Knights alone were not enough. "

"... I see. Well, I guess I can count on it - Chris and Rani say that the Blood Chain Brigade also has Princess Tenjin (Hylal Menas)." And Leon.... "

Yeah, that's right--

"That's why I'm still fine. From now on...!"

Rafael nodded with a smile at Ripple, who was always trying to brighten up.

"Yes, Ripple-sama! By the way, what happened to Rochefort?"

"I don't know - we were blown up by the rainbow king (Prismer) attack, and I haven't seen it since." I don't know where the Venefik army itself went. "

With such a weaponized Princess Talent (Hylal Menas), I could see what would happen ― I think I lost the General and turned back to my own country.

"Really? - Why would he imitate such suicidal behavior..."

"I don't understand, I didn't seem to be in a normal state of mind."

"... you were such a terrifying guy. That rampant attack of his could have stimulated the Rainbow King (Prismer) to wreak havoc-"

"... why would Princess Wu (Hylal Menas) give him a blessing?" If we don't bring our hearts together, we can't formalize our weapons-- "

Is it true that that Princess Tenjie (Hylal Menas) was also convinced by the man's behavior?

"I didn't see anyone like that--?"

"When I rushed in, I didn't know because I had already weaponized it."

Me too. What was she like?

"Alu-sama was from the same race of beasts as Ripple-sama - the atmosphere was different from Ripple-sama's, and somewhere I felt worried..."

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Does that mean I look easy on you?"

"No, no! That's why - I thought the Beast Race had more bright temperament like Ripple..."

"That's the kind of person, isn't it?" Ah, but... I see...! It's a read! "

"...? What are you talking about?"

"Look, when the two of you went to see the Rainbow King (Prismer), you said that you only heard my voice. Well, it was just in case that girl named Al sent it to me. If it was between beast races, I could do that too--"

Special abilities among the Beast Race.

There have been cases in which Ripple's special work has been used to create a trap that calls upon the Beast Race's Magic Stone Beast.

Originally, it is the ability to communicate with one's will, even if one is distanced or does not exchange words directly.

"Yeah... I didn't think there was any other race of beasts besides me, so I didn't think about it." There was another beast race, Princess Wu (Hylal Menas) ─ ─ "

"You heard Lord Al's voice...?" What did you say? "

"I ran away quickly, and it seemed like you were worried about us."

"So Lord Al was sad about what he did to Rochefort...?"

"Yeah. Maybe so..."

"I don't know..."

Rafael leaned slightly and shook his head.

Huh?

What's wrong?

"So how did Rochefort manage to weaponize Lord Alur?" I don't think Rochefort's aspirations are the same as those of Princess Tenjin (Hylal Menas), who must be the strongest force in the world by uniting their hearts......? "

"It's not just a matter of aspiration to say that the mind is one-"

"That's right... but that's sad, isn't it?" I'm sure that Alu is still young... it's not a matter of appearance, it's me. "

With that, Ripple stroked her chest with a pompous stroke.

That's what's in there - the heart.
