Years since I became a guard. I noticed strange people watching my daily routine while doing my usual chores.

I can't read anything from the person's words and actions, and I have no idea what he wants.

Worrying and observing for a while, the person came and spoke in a short word.

"What are you looking at?

"... ah, sorry! I was a little worried..."

"What are you seeing to others?

"... eh?

When the person crawled his fingertips on my cheek as if it were natural, he was struck by electricity running through his body.

The electricity didn't actually flow, but I felt it.

"What are you looking at?

"... oh... I..."

………

"What do you mean...."

"I don't see anything.

"Huh?!

………

"I can't see..."

The man's words were somehow heavy on my heart.

I've never felt anything in anyone's words before...

The man's words somehow reached my depths.

"What should I do...?

"Trust me.

When the other hand touches the other cheek, it falls into a warm, wrapped feeling.

"I believe it....."

"I'll guide you.

"Ahh....."

I've always thought I was the only one in this world. I didn't think so clearly, but I thought darkly that there was no one with the same sensitivity as me.

But he sees through everything, and he tells me he can lead me.

I was impressed. I can't stop crying...

If you let go of both hands, you look back and go somewhere.

Since then, I have sworn allegiance to you.

To see something... no, when I met him, I saw something for the first time.

Maybe it was to find out what it was.

A few days later, a woman elf came to see me.

She was a sacred knight and didn't have a name. That's why I named it Canary. To get you to stand in front of me and shout loudly.

I was good at magic and I was a Golden Knight.

The woman brought a black embroidered faithful dress. He told me he wanted to welcome me as a knight.

And I want you to conquer the Elves completely.

I accepted the offer and gradually printed it onto the canary from that day on.

I am the Holy Knight, I am the only one, listen to everything I say, and tell me everything.

It was easy to imply to the weak-minded owner.

Especially the canary was really easy to handle.

I just stacked my body a few times, depended on it, and even if I didn't do anything, I heard everything.

Perhaps he knew about it and sent us a canary.

It was easy after that.

Choose the weak-minded, imply, and let them dive in from the Knights of the Holy Order as their allies grow.

One by one, I reached out to the royal castle and sent the canary.

Teach some hint and bring the canary closer to the First Prince.

Slowly he melted the First Prince's heart to melt the ice, making him dependent on the canary.

I talked to him several times, but he only talked to me in a short word, and I was seeing through everything, and with just one word, I spread a ripple in my heart.

I knew I was here for you.

Surely I believe that this will guide me, and there is no doubt or dust.

It will certainly not change when you approach death.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Shit.....

Blood from the spreading neck flows under the rubble.

"Ugh..."

Your abdomen feels tingling and painful, and your vision is distorted for a moment.

"Master!

"... I'm fine. Besides, what about the ganaries?

…………

A ganari lying down. The penitentiaries sat beside me, and when they turned to my voice, they slowly waved their faces to the side.

……

"Dear Sinya...."

"Ganalai."

"You don't have to be sick... because I deserve it..."

……

"I was with you for decades... and I didn't notice...

And... finally... I was able to protect the queen... "

Village chief!

"Come on!

"... Danil... Papill... you have to live strong..."

"Oh no... village chief..."

"... this life saved by you... I swear I won't waste it.

"Thank you... thank you... penetrating... princess..."

Slowly, your lips weaken and eventually stop completely.

"I'm not qualified to be called a princess... but I can't... protect a royal family..."

………

In the end, only Danil and Papill survived in Lyonite village.

"... penetration.

"... saved lives... We need to be firm.

Sinya, can you tell me more?

"... okay.

Explain in detail the First Prince, the Canary, and the Tribal King.

"Niisama..."

"Looks like he was being manipulated by the canary.

"... no. Even if you were manipulated, what you did is irreversible.

If he had lived, he would not have been forgiven.

Looks like you're talking on a cool face, but your hands are trembling.

Everyone on the spot would have noticed, but they never touched it.

"In other words, the royal family of the Elves is all alone...

"Exactly.

"Okay. Then I'll stand up as king from here on out.

I'm sure there's a yes or no argument, but now somebody has to take the lead and put them all together. If that's my role, I'll have to do it.

"I can't move any more... I'll help you as much as I can.

"... thank you. Eliminating the Holy Knights is our top priority now.

With Nerk and Canary down, the chain of command must have collapsed. Be sure to crush the fragmented Knights of the Holy Order.

"That would be good.

"I'm going to head to the gate, which is the main point of defense, but what do you think? I neglect this kind of thing.

"I think it's good. I'll do the same.

"Well then, let's go to the gate!

On Penetta's command, head to the gate north of the city.

Corpses are rolling all over the city, filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.

……

"Penetta.

"... I know. Now there is something to do before mourning death.

Penetta stretches her spine and walks to the front of the gate.

"Hey, hey! That's it!"

"Princess Peneta...?

"Peneta-sama!

In front of the gate, it seems that the soldiers entrusted with the guards and the people of the city were guarding me, and I don't see any living enemies.

And when they saw the penitentiary, they were very glad that their tired faces had collapsed.

"Guys, you've been through the gates before.

"Peneta-sama!

"Princess Peneta!

"... everyone! Listen carefully!"

When Penetta sounded her groaning voice in front of the gate, the gathered people calmed down.

"Unfortunately, my father, King Gandar, was killed in battle!

"What?!

Oh, no!

"In addition... all my brothers and sisters were killed in battle!

"... you're lying..."

"So... even Kashto...?

"What are you going to do...? What will happen to the Elves...?

As he watched, the brightness disappeared from all the faces in front of the gate, and his face leaned down.

"Wolverine!

"Peneta-sama...?

"Before you will be Peneta-Hyormina, the last survivor of the royal family!

The pointing elves looked at Penetta's face again.

"The Elves are not finished yet! You're gonna finish this!

I, Peneta-Hyormina, hereby pledge to inherit the king of the tribe and once again prosper the Elves under the trees of the world!!

"... Peneta-san.

"... the king of the Peneta tribe..."

"I am the wrath of everyone! Show your sorrow and stay at the forefront of everyone as king of the tribe!

Everybody! Face up! Hold the sword! To shake down a counter-attack!

"" "Uh-oh!

The sword of the people, raised high, reflected with glare.

I think it's a little radical oath, but it's also true that now that a lot of elves have been killed, you need to be prepared to survive.

Maybe it's better to be too radical.

"Hey, guys! Tell everyone what you're talking about!

"Leave it to me!

"I'll take care of the Holy Knights!

The people regained their power, and the momentum propagated one after the other. The death of Nerk and Canaria made the Knights of the Holy Knights disintegrated enough to destroy them.

Not with the Knights of the Holy Order today, such as helping to stop the crowd that has thrived so far, a few hours later the city was successfully suppressed.

With the villagers in Lyonite, the tunnels were completely neutralized. Unfortunately, only the Knights were alive.

Finally, the only soldiers left were those who were supposed to be back in the royal castle.

Penetta stood in front of the gates of the royal castle, gathering the soldiers who were in the city.

"... do I have to tell them to kill my people again..."

"You want to quit the tribal king because you don't like it?

"... I see. I just don't like the way it works.

……

"But someone has to. If someone has to do it, it's my job.

And if it's my job, I'll do it perfectly.

"... ruthless...

"... I see. But the Holy Knights are even more ruthless.

Then I have no choice but to follow a merciless path.

…………

"Then, Peneta-sama's... no. The paths of the Penetta King's mercilessness. Let's cut it open together.

Elf soldiers with one knee behind Penetta.

"We are the sword and shield of the tribal king.

"If you can't walk in the pot, we'll be swords and slaughter the pot.

"If you hurt yourself in the pot, we will shield you from the pot.

"We offer our swords and shields to the Peneta king.

"... to a little girl like this... no. That's not true.

Stand in front of soldiers on one knee and show their usual cool faces.

Keep looking straight into the soldiers' eyes.

"I believe in your sword and shield. I wonder if you will come to me.

"" "" Just like I said!!

"He said there were two or three believable servants, but there were really so many of them.

"... now! The royal castle is occupied by members of the Knights of the Holy Order!

We cannot allow this barbarism! I will recapture the Imperial Castle!

Assault! "

"" "Uh-oh!

Soldiers opened the gates of the castle and poured in.

There will be a lot of people who stood in the same place until yesterday.

Yet they seized the royal castle without any hesitation, as the sword of the king of the clan, and as the shield of the king of the clan.

When the royal castle was completely overthrown, this series of events finally closed the curtain.

The Knights of the Holy Order who were wandering outside the city also disappeared at some point, temporarily, but the Elves gained peace.

The total number of elves in the city and surrounding villages at the end of the disturbance. About half of them were sacrificed.

Nil and I, who were sent to the undamaged room of the oppressed royal castle, were able to sit still for the first time in a long time.

Pickup!

[Event Complete... I survived Hyormina.

Reward... Black Shield

Rewards are transferred directly to the inventory.

Clear the window and sit on the sofa.

"Check later!... guhah... I'm tired..."

"It's finally over..."

First of all... But for Penetta, it might be harder from now on. There's a lot of work to do, and it's going to be hard to protect everyone in this state of drastic reduction in combat power.

"You know very well.

Hey...

When the door of the room opens, penetration comes in.

"Are you resting?

"Oh, thank you.

"I'm the one thanking you.

"Don't worry about it. It's going to be harder than that. Get some rest, too.

"I don't have time for that. Of course it's been tough, but from here on out, it's going to be tough in a different way.

Even if we can rebuild the city, we've suffered so much, and we're cool. Without jokes, if you get attacked now, they'll drop you right away.

"Can I say that to us people?

"What are you talking about now? There's nothing to hide from Sinya and the others. Above all, you know everything.

"Ha ha ha. Well, you're right.

Is there a way out of this situation?

"... I see. We know what we need to do to confront the Knights.

"Do you depend on other species?

"It's a little different than relying on... I'm trying to make an alliance.

Alliance…

"I know the whole world is at war with the Holy Knights. Some have already been captured, and I know it's not a situation that cares about other species.

But that's why I think we need to forge alliances among other tribes to resist the Knights.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do that, isn't it?

"I know. But there is no way for us to survive. Even if you're just looking at the world, one day our turn will surely come around again.

Then I'll be sure to destroy you next time. Do your best before that happens. That's the only way.

"You've already decided, haven't you?

"Yes, I've made up my mind.

I see. Then I wish you success. If you need me, I can write one.

"I just want to say that with our help... but with the dwarfs and the Beasts, I'd like to use Sinya's help.

This is a very pressing situation.

"Okay. I'll help you."

"Thank you."

"What happened to Daniel and Papill?

"I'm resting in a separate room now. I was so tired, I went into the room and fell asleep right away.

"I've had a lot of trouble...

What are you gonna do after you calm down? The village of Lyonite is gone, isn't it?

"Well... I'm going to do what I can, but I don't know what they want to do after all...

"I see... I lost my mother, the villagers, and finally the village chief... so don't rush too fast?

"You don't have to tell me. Don't worry, I'm going to stay here with you until they decide what they want.

"That's good.

"Sinya and the others go slowly. The city is a mess, and this is the only place I can sleep.

"It's a luxurious room for us. I'll take care of you for a while.

Yeah.

Penetta leaves the room with a smile.

"It must have been hard for Penetta herself to lose all her parents and brothers..."

"You looked very tired.

"I think Penetta needs a break... but you don't have time to rest right now... I wish I could help you... but there's nothing we can do about it.

"Why don't you give me a cup of tea so I can rest?

"That's a good idea. I'll take it to Penetta tomorrow.

Yes!

"Let's get some sleep today.

"... Master.

"What's wrong?

"... will you give me a moment of your time soon?

"... okay. I'll be sure to take some time soon.

"Thank you very much.

Nil's face seemed to have decided something.

I decided to take my time and listen to you slowly.

On that day he went into a large bed with Nil, and slept like mud.

From the next day, the city and the castle began to move in haste.

Cremation of bodies abandoned inside and outside the city. Repair of damaged buildings. Reorganization of the soldiers.

Elves in the city have no children or adults, and everyone seems busy moving around.

It was the people in the castle who were busier than that.

"Hey! Where did you get that stuff?!

"I don't know! Can you find it yourself?!

"Hey, help me out here!

The people who made the bear under their eyes move around busily, and words resembling anger fly around.

"This sight reminds me of a lot of things... it's not good for my mental health..."

"Is the castle so busy...?

"No, I don't think it's normal to be so busy...."

"I don't have anywhere else to go right now... did I make a scene?

"No, I'm just here to check on you.

Is it okay if Penetta stays here?

"Oh, it's an important job to welcome guests, isn't it?

"Are we supposed to be treated as guests..."

"Of course! I know how much Sinya and Nirvana contributed to our city! No matter what you say, Shinya and the others are guests!

"Because it's loud..."

The elves who were working were still looking at us.

Nil and I are people. It is unusual for a man to cut like a soldier at the gate. That comes from the gaze of the people in front of you.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're going.

"... this time, let's make it clear.

Draw attention with a loud voice so that everyone can hear the penetration.

"It is Sinya here that we can move around like this right now. And that's because Nirvana helped a lot.

I think there are feelings for the people, but I will never forgive those who have been rude to Sinya and the others.

"Well, it's not like that. It's a good story if we stay calm.

It was hard to stay there quietly with Singh, and as soon as I quietly retreated with Nil, Peneta followed me.

"Is it okay to say that?

"We're about to make an alliance. I have to point out the behavior that would be disrespectful to the rest of the race. Not if you're in the royal castle.

"It's at the root of the Elves, and if we don't do it gradually, we won't be able to get there.

"I've come to a place where you shouldn't say such a long thing. No matter how much rebellion there may be, don't just stand back here.

Could I ask you for a letter addressed to the dwarves and the Beasts?

"... okay. I'll write it right away.

"I really appreciate everything. I don't have anything to return..."

"I don't need anything.
