The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

I've been out of Wang Du for two weeks.

Ever since I killed Liquino, there have been no more raids and peace itself.

But you can't have peace from here on out, can you?

"Arrive, the city on the front line."

"This is the place, Fregenta..."

"... eh"

With the momentum to fill the desolate wilderness, there are many Royal Army positions lined up.

Surrounded by wooden fences, full of tents, horse huts and tired faced soldiers.

To the west, there's a line full of stone forts.

And I don't even know what it looks like, but I see a bunch of bean-crumbling shadows coming together.

I'm sure that's the Demon Army.

So, at the end of the road we walk, a tall stone wall appeared in the middle of the wilderness.

The city in it, Fregenta.

It's Melo's sieve.

"I never thought you'd be back..."

Yeah, well, neither did I. I never thought I'd be on the front line.

... No, I suppose I, I was going to be sent here.

It's not hard to tell if a gift boils water, if it's a more intense guy.

My demon army opponent fought me until I died in this wilderness, and I should have died.

"Well, don't be blurry, I'll be in town soon. We're getting noticeable."

Sure.

It's obviously suspicious of a traveler to come to the front line at a time like this.

Before the soldiers call you off, it looks like you should just go inside the city.

Unlike Wang Du, there were soldiers on the lookout at the entrance.

Well, that's right.

Enemy saboteurs and assassins could come in.

That's exactly what we are.

So, Melo is active here.

By showing us our residency cards, all of us have been put through.

"... I wonder if you're an ant, that monkey guard"

"Fine, soldier. He was dead. He had eyes. You've been in a lot of trouble."

Ever since the death of the brave men of our predecessors, the confusion has continued.

I guess it's pretty spiritually hard too.

Soldiers outside the city, they all looked like they weren't mad.

I guess the situation in Wang Du won't get this far either.

I don't know how it feels not to have a brave man come, guys.

"People, that's zero. It's quiet, and the store's all closed."

"I guess I can't open a store at a time like this. I don't think most of the residents were evacuated before the logistics stopped."

"... before the battlefield, it was much more lively."

With a sad look, Melo explained it to me.

Here, Fregenta is called the magic city, the country where magic technology flourished most in the land of man.

Because we live next door to the Demon Nation, the Demon Nation has had interaction for a long time.

So, the kingdom invaded a few years ago, and Fregenta surrendered unconditionally.

Since it was at the forefront of the war against the Demons, so many battles have been repeated that the meadows have become wilderness, and so many people and demons have died.

Fregenta, the magic city, has become a ghost town.

"I liked this city... So it's hard to look now..."

"... Huh!

Beato hugged Melo.

I guess I couldn't leave that kid crying.

That's what Beato is.

"Beat, sister Beat..."

"... eh... eh!

I think I'm saying don't cry, cheer up.

Beato hugging her little Melo, she's really like your sister.

"Thank you, sir. I'm fine now!

I got him back on his feet.

I can't do that, you know.

I think Beato is amazing lately.

"Oh, hmm."

What a nuisance to watch, Joana.

"What, if you want to say something, why don't you say it clearly?

"Beetle? I just thought I'd been staring at Beatto for a while."

"... ha. So, what do we do when we stay?"

This is a bad guy if you deal with him.

I'm just getting on better.

I can only cut to a mattomo topic.

"Where to stay...... The inn's closed."

"If that's the case, there's something good about it!

Melo guided me to come in front of a regular two-story private house.

There's no sign that anyone lives there, but maybe.

"This is my house! Don't hesitate to come in!

After all, it was Melo's house.

A house where all the family were killed and Melo herself left and the Lord was lost and destroyed.

Have the magic lock on the door unlocked with the magic guide key and go inside the house.

That one stays out of sight.

"Fine, here. It's a great base for activities."

"I sold out some furniture and stuff, and it's a little uncomfortable."

"Enough is enough. If you're just going to sleep."

"... Huh!

Just rainstorms all around.

Besides, I'm not going to stay very long.

"Well, I just got my base, too, and it's just an ops meeting. May I?"

Yes, I take Mr. Cain's daughter back from the Taglio.

That's why we've come all the way.

"First, Melo, I wonder where the Taglios have army officers."

"It's a former royal palace, in the heart of the city. Ever since we surrendered to the kingdom, nobles have been using it to rule the city, but now it's a luxury hotel dedicated to him and the rest of us."

The central royal palace, can also be seen from here.

It's a yellow, round-roofed castle considerably smaller than the one in the king's capital.

Are those fucking bugs nesting over there?

I want to kill them all if I can.

"I see, the wives will be there, too. Next, tell me the geography of this city?

"Copy that!

At a time like this, it's the locals you can count on.

He spreads the map and pens it all the way to the back road he hasn't.

With that in mind, it feels like Joana is going to find her escape route.

"Well, the rest is the internal structure over there.... hey me, I'll check it out. I don't think I'll be back until nightfall, but don't worry. If you're not back in the morning, just worry about it."

"Hey, wait! Suddenly!

"Bye."

No, no, you say if you think about it, but it's too thoughtful.

I opened the window gallantly and it popped out.

"Joana's always like that, isn't she? I don't have a grip, I mean, freedom..."

"Really? I imagine a very reliable sister."

"I'm always gone in the morning and come back around the evening. I don't even know where you live and what you usually do. I can count on you, and I trust you, but when you think about it, he's weird."

Beat took out the paper and pen.

Looks like he's going to join the conversation.

"Mr. Joana right now, it was a bit hectic. Something else is coming."

"Purpose? Give us Naisho's?

'It's just a can. But I kind of had that kind of thing.'

Purpose, right?

I've thought of it before as an over-enthusiastic task for a leader.

Is there anything else you should never divulge, or what?

"... well no. I can't help thinking about Joana."

I'm not interested, I can't believe it.

"Bye, Sister Beat! Kirie, tell me about your sister!

"..."

No, wait a minute.

"Why are you asking Beato about me?"

"'Cause, Sister Killier, you don't tell me anything about yourself, and besides Sister Beat, I don't seem interested."

"No, I'm not interested in Beato either."

……

Oh, he looked so shocked.

Tears accumulated in my lukewarm eye butt......

"Wait, it's a lie... Because I'm a little interested..."

"..."

Tears are totally pulling in from Beato's eyes, who have been happily hugging him.

Oh, is this a lie cry?

Did they treat you well, me?

The internal structural data of the Royal Palace has been collected by passing the wind to the surface.

It's been flowing in the wind wasa (...), and all the information is perfect.

As convenient as ever, this ability (Chicara).

"Well, let's just say it serves its original purpose"

Release the wind that was making you patrol the royal palace and jump off the spot.

Fly so high that no one can see you, manipulate the wind and quickly pass through the city, far above the walls, straight through the wilderness, to the position of the Demon Army.

We descend sharply to the entrance to the main fort.

"Who are you!

Oops.

You'd be surprised if a beautiful woman fell out of the sky, wouldn't you?

The beast man guarding the entrance pointed the spear at me.

"Wait, that's not the enemy. Show me this far, be polite."

"Ha!

A majestic voice, heard from behind the fort.

Oh, I can't believe you're even out here.

Passed to the back of the fort, face to face with a blue-white face and bright gray hair, a man who looks great with ears.

Well, the Demons are all blue-white and deaf.

Unlike us humans, right?

"Long time no see, Juna"

"You too, Your Highness the First Prince Tartus. I'm surprised you're on the front line."

I can't believe we're putting our successors on the front line with each other.

Mr. Seitam and Burtoghu, I thought it was the opposite, but I wonder if there's anything similar about it.

"And now I'm Joana, remember?

"Heh heh, how many times have I remembered your name? Do, Joana. I guess it's a good story for us that you came all the way out here, huh?

"Yeah, it's a very good story. Let's talk until morning, shall we?
