The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

"Hey, Killier!

"... hmm? Toka?"

The voice of the toca calling me and the extra jet blast.

A giant golem with a toca was flying this way.

Golem raises the earth smoke and lands before us, and the toca jumps off its shoulders.

"... it looks like you're a little late. I wanted to see the effect of the sword I made."

The toca sighs at the chunks of meat that have been simmered.

Oh, my God, you came all the way to see my fight.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I saw the moment when I slashed it in time."

"Hmm? Quinna, what does that mean?

"No, I didn't see Killier's movements at all on this claw either...."

"Hmm, you too...!?

Even that Queena couldn't see my movements when I lifted the limit.

Toca's freaking out, but I'm more freaked out about the strength of Quina.

Fighting power jumps so far.

Well, let alone that.

"By the way, I wonder if it's possible to use [Remote] to get into hostile territory."

Ask Queena while hanging a loot necklace.

In this battle, the opponent's power should have been exhausted.

Over time, we may be able to increase the number of immortals again.

We need to get into enemy territory and hit Empire at once.

"I don't think so. The magician, Nopt, died, and all the recorded destinations and allies were reset."

Well, that's right.

"But if the device was transporting the immortal to the basement, it would still be alive. There must be one behind the armoury shop's underground passage. You can move it if you like."

We can get in from there.

When I was checked before, it seems that there was only a jail in the back, but maybe there was a more subtle hidden passage in the back.

Anyway, if you use the sole, it's quick to talk.

All right, let's go...

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo!

At that time, the ground began to shake violently with the roar.

The vision is shaken up and down, and it is difficult to stand up.

In fact, the toca stuck to my buttocks.

"What is this, an earthquake...!?

"No...."

If it were just an earthquake, it would never happen.

What a terrifying, horrible mass of magic climbing from deep underground.

"Quina, this...!

"Yeah, definitely....! Empyreo is coming...!

The Knights of Steige returned as soon as the soldiers went to see how they were doing.

After that, Aniki and Big Brother returned safely together with a person named Eupitel.

However, the expression was dark.

It's only natural that you're still alive with Mr. Devi's remains.

The outcome of the battle to defeat Zerot the second generation of the leader of the "Lion God Tadashi (Pyrea Fidelis)" was not very good, but it was not a celebratory mood.

Then the eldest brother led the Knights of Steige to escape King's Landing, escorting the civilians who remained in the castle.

There are only a few of us and some nobles left in the castle.

Even though I was fighting in King's Landing, Mr. Toca, Mr. Quinna, and Killier just jumped out...

"Perna-sama...!

Yes, that knight who just entered this dance hall.

He rushed in and knelt in front of Perne in a straight line.

"Elia Ulysses, I'm home...!

Armor is full of scratches and the body is worn out.

I think I'm out of breath because I'm in such a hurry.

"Elias, you're back safely."

"Thank you, Mr. Perne, for being safe. This Elias, I will risk my life to keep you safe."

"Belle's the usual room, right?

"... what?

The truth is the foresight, Perne smiles nicely all the time.

Pretty mean...

"Were you worried about Bell when you held your breath so fast?

"That's right...! I am Perna-sama's servant, and this body is for you...."

"From my point of view, it's the only way to do it."

Even her mouth smiled at Elias in a great hurry.

I'm totally enjoying it...

"But that's right... Indeed, from your point of view, you can't go to Bell without me as your master."

"So...."

"Then let's give the order. Elias, escort Belle, my dear minister, to a safe place."

"Nh... no, but your escort..."

"Mr. Barge is still here, and the Knights are a little bit behind. There is no problem with combat power. Besides, this is a royal decree. I will not tolerate dissent."

"... so much gratitude. I will be your escort, Elias Bell."

Okay, then hurry up.

Ha!

That's a good tip, Perne.

Elias, who was given the order to escape, ran upstairs with the same momentum as when she arrived.

"... Mr. Stra? Is something wrong?

Looks like they found out you were watching the whole thing.

Looking at my face, Perne laughed nicely.

"Ah, no... That's the queen."

"What is that? Mr. Straw is a queen, isn't she?

"Hey, I'm still a paper player... And, by the way, isn't it time for us to escape?

He said he had a brother and a knighthood, but I don't really feel like escaping to Perne just now.

I'm a little worried that you'll be in the castle forever if you leave me alone.

As expected, Perne, who received my suggestion, looked a little troubled.

"That's right... First, Strassen and the others have to escape."

"Of course not. I'm with Perne. I don't want to leave it behind."

"That's right...."

Hmm, something's wrong.

Perne looks like she doesn't want to leave the castle.

"... this is the second time."

"Eh...?

"The first time, the Taltus attacked. At that time, I left my castle without doing anything, leaving my people behind."

"That's... what I had to do!

"But I regretted it. I don't want to feel that way again. Leaving someone behind and running away from your castle is such a disgraceful thought...."

... I feel like I understand how Perne feels somehow.

I often see the castle lord and fate together in the story, and the captain who stays on the ship until the end and lets the sailor escape and sink.

I also think if Steige is attacked, I'll stay and try my best.

But....

"Perne, you know..."

Spread out the hands of Pernet, and looked straight at him and spoke.

I may not be able to say it well, but I'm doing my best.

"When I first spoke to Steige, I thought, Looking at the faces of all the people, oh, this is what I wanted to protect my brothers."

"The people's...?

"Yeah, not the land, the people. I think that's the country if there are people there. People are more important than castles. All the people in King's Landing have just escaped, right? So now it's Perne's turn. Perne protected this country. So let's go see him with our chests full. Shall we go see everyone who loves Perne?

... I wonder if you've properly conveyed what I'm trying to say.

Perne, I lied in silence.

Ugh, I'm afraid of silence...

"... that's right."

Oh, I raised my face.

Besides, it looks kind of refreshing.

"The treasure of the country can be rebuilt as many as the people want. I can't believe I've forgotten such a simple thing as a queen."

"Perne, well then...."

"Yeah, let's get out of here. Together."

Good, it seems to have been conveyed.

Well, if that's the case...

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo!

"Uhia...!?

"Nh, what...?!

At last, the ground began to shake.

I was so worried that the castle might collapse.

I can't stand up, and I hug Perne and go in.

"Ji, is this an earthquake...?

"I don't know, but...."

I have a really bad feeling about this.

I had to get out of here right now, and I felt such vague anxiety.
