I was on my way to the scene with Cashel and a few knights when I decided to split the membership for the junction strategy.

Iris and Aria are on the "Fencol" side - that is, under the jurisdiction of the Black Wolf Knights. The members with him have also elected several Black Wolf Knights who were on the scene.

On the other hand, I am a knight of the Knights of the Holy Armor because of Cashel.

I may have only heard about rumors. [M]

But in rank, I'm at the top - Haylon's instructions and Cashel's presence made up my platoon.

All that's coming from the sky are flying demons.

But already with orders from Haylon, the evacuation of the people had begun.

... Still, there's no safer place than not being able to get out of the junction.

"I'll drop some here. You will all march forward as you march."

That's all I have to say, I get close to the nearby building - and I keep running up.

"Ooh......!?

"Wall!?

Surprisingly, I went up to the roof without worrying. [M]

The flying demon noticed me too, and a few of them approached me.

Unleashed is Invisible.

A little distance can cover it and capture flying demons.

It's not the feathers you're after... your neck. Fly the necks of monsters like birds and bats one after the other. - The demon itself doesn't seem so strong.

To this extent, Illis and Aria will not be the first to struggle.

The problem lies ahead... the magicians who will probably be waiting. While moving through the rooftops of the building, he defeats several demons and joins the platoon.

"I see... this is Alta Schweitz's strength"

It's Cashel who's been speaking up.

He also used magic to see some demons being struck down.

- As a Magic Instructor, I'm sure you have strength. Even with the demon in his eyes, he can't see how frightened he is.

"Master Cashel is brilliant, too."

"I don't need a compliment. I'm here because I want to see what you can do."

"Is that my strength?"

"Oh - the strength of the Guardian of England, huh? And there's something else I need to ask you."

"What?

He fires a blow into the sky with a hump and listens back as he strikes down the demon.

Cashel also unleashes magic against the sky.

"Rock Lance"!

Rock spears rise from the ground and are ejected one after the other.

Spears released from the ground strike out the demon's body - and are quite accurate.

"What's your relationship with Illis... is it just an escort?

"! What does that mean?

Kashel's inquiry was meaningful.

My relationship with Illis - it's not just the escort. It is a connection between the school lecturer and the student, and the master and disciple of the sword.

There are many relationships, but there should be no other noticeable ones.

"When I ask you straight in, what do you think of Ilis... that's what I want to hear"

"About Mr. Iris? Well, it's not something to hide, so she's currently my student."

"I already know that, too. - You like Iris, too."

…… Is that about her personality?

"As a lover."

I never stopped moving, but Cashel's question was something I didn't understand.

First of all, the place called "Iris too".

Then it's like saying, 'Illis likes me'.

I don't know where that story comes from, and I don't think Illis would say it first.

What does Cashel want from me? [M]

- No way, did I even say 'there's someone I like' for Illis to turn down his engagement story?

That's a big scandal, though.

"I don't know what you want to hear, but I'm no more than her escort."

"Right. Well, it would be hard to answer if I asked directly. But - just one thing. From now on, if Illis becomes my thing... you will follow me too. Just remember that."

Cashel speaks as if she was convinced that she could keep Illis under control.

I have to check with Iris on all this, but as far as the atmosphere goes earlier, I don't even think Iris has been gripped by the weakness. - And I figured that out first.

"Dear Kashel, is this the end of your conversation with me?

"! That's... right"

"Then I'll be a little ahead of you. Because I want to attack here early. The other knights will escort Master Cashel. If you need anything, I'll back off too."

With that much instruction, I rush out alone - in the present situation, how we can quickly attack the junction leads to ensuring the safety of the town.

We're behind on the Iris and Cashel case first.

I approach my destination as I finish off the demons that come down one after the other.

At this rate, we might be able to rush right to cover elsewhere. - I'd like to be optimistic, but I chose this place for a reason.

There are two places where you can feel unusual signs.

It's where I'm headed and another thing, it's on the way to Illis.

In some cases, you may also have to rush to the Illis.

"I'll never let you through here. Yikes!

"Huh!"

- On my way to my destination, a familiar voice arrives in my ear.

If you look, try to guard the entrance in front of the building, and Chloe had a sword.

... Apparently, Chloe got into this situation too.

"Rue!"

"... Huh!

Chloe grips the sword pattern strongly - she also seems to be training for the sword, but her hands were trembling.

I guess I haven't even had experience fighting demons yet.

I immediately release Invisible to the demons trying to make their way to Chloe.

"Huh?"

I stop in front of Chloe, who gives me a distracted look.

"Brother - Alta!? Yes, now... you?

"Oh. Is Chloe alone here? My sister-in-law..."

"Oh, you are the one...... why are you here alone!? What happened to the Iris escort!

Try to clog it up, Chloe roughs up her voice.

I was surprised and saw her. [M]

"Calm down. Mr. Iris and I are acting differently now."

"Ha... why not? I warned you, you have to protect me."

"... is that a story that has something to do with the current situation?

"Huh! Chi, no! I don't even know what this is! But why did you leave Illis alone?

"Chloe, tell me what you know. The situation where this demon is attacking the town now needs to be cleaned up immediately. But why are you in such a hurry to protect Mr. Iris? What do you know?

"It's..."

Chloe with a lost look.

But eventually Chloe gives her a determined look and says it off.

"Sister Mariel said..." Try Illis "and borrowed a sword from the Knights."

"My sister-in-law...?

That was an unexpected word.

Try Illis - no, when I hear that story, I can somehow also imagine why Mariel came here.

Most importantly, I borrowed a sword from the Knights... and this fact is that Remill was hiding from me that he was seeing Mariel too.

(Captain... You didn't tell me you knew. Well, I guess I just didn't think this would happen)

"And anyway! Go to Lord Iris right away!

"My sister-in-law has a situation, too. At least we'll work together until we figure it out."

"Maybe, but..."

"Besides, it's more like a precondition to protect you now."

"Huh!?

Pull Chloe's body back and make her stay behind me.

- What was unleashed was a few fireballs.

Apparently, the people who caused this case have set it up.

I slash all the fireballs by the blade of the wind.

"Become...!?

To the amazing magician, I approach the distance of Invisible and release it there. He struck down the wind blade on all the multiple demon conductors.

"Hey...?

I speak up for Chloe, who is surprised and has no voice.

"Chloe, rendezvous with the rear knight for protection. Including those in the building. I know very well that you... tried to protect them. And that feeling is the same as Mr. Iris."

"With Lord Illis...?

"Mr. Iris, too, made up his mind to fight to protect this town - so I sent her away. If you admire Mr. Iris, you better know what she's like."

"... eh"

Chloe clogs the words.

Protect Iris - that would be Chloe's true intentions.

But Illis himself doesn't want it.

She doesn't just want to be protected, she wants to be in a position to protect herself.

"So just one piece of advice from me. Believe me about her - at least that's what I do."

"Believe in Illis..."

As I repeat my words, Chloe growls.

I don't know if Chloe will convince me of this, but I run forward.

- Looking at the 'enemy' looming in front of you.
