Seth: Prince Iverem, the ship has arrived in Tassel.

No trace of the enemy has yet been found.

Iverem: Got it.

Hurry up and get ready for the landing.

There is only one road from here to the imperial capital.

The brutal battle will probably continue.

Seth: Yes. The closer you get to the imperial capital, the more intense the battle will be.

I have a proposal here......

――――

Salef: Is this the town, Eun.

Ewen: Well, thank you, Master.

Malika should be here.

If she doesn't tell her quickly, she's going to work for nothing.

Salef: I heard it was......

What went wrong?

Eun: Well, the Mercenary Guild has confused other people with Marika.

I was supposed to go somewhere else, but I was sent here because I made a mistake.

So I have to tell her, by the way, Master, where are you going?

Salef: I'm going back to the village.

Although I searched everywhere, I still didn't see the shadow of the dragon man.

I have to go back to the elder woman and report back.

Ewen: Oh......

Salef: Then I'm leaving.

Ewen, I told you too......

Ewen: yes, I understand.

You can't use magic indiscriminately, can you?

――――

Eun: Hmm...... I'm going to find Marika......

Let's go over there and ask first.

――――

Mel: Ephrem......

From the east side......

Iverem: ...... That's not going to work, Seth.

I am not in favor of sending reservists to the front.

Seth: But...... The strength of Emperor Gulad** is far above our army.

Whoever has more troops will be advantageous in battle, do you need to say?

Now the reserves of our army are in the rear to protect the transport team, and if the front line is lost, even if the food and equipment are held, it is useless.

If you don't abandon the rear, it will be too difficult to strengthen the front-line forces and achieve victory.

Iverem: This is an enemy country.

We can't live without food.

Seth: But Prince Iverem......

Iverem: Seth, I know you're making this suggestion for this victory.

I understand very well that you are also thinking about me.

However, I will not change my decision.

I......

…… Mel?

Mel: Ah, I'm sorry......

Me, I......

No, it's okay......

Ephrium: Mel ......

――――

Soldier (white): Prince Iverem! It's an enemy attack!

The Gurad soldiers who have infiltrated the streets have attacked!

Seth: Prince Iverem.

Iverem: The whole army is ready for battle! Against!

――――

Kaseda: Soldiers of the Gurads!

You're all shit!

The fortress of Likubarud has been captured!

That guy in Düssel has defected!

Emperor Gulad** is now discredited!

Is that all there is to it?

Defeated in front of that bastard Prince Iverem and then surrendered?

It's not that easy!

Fight Fight Fight!

Rush Rush!

Defeat that Ephrem bastard!

――――

Avi: Hehehe......

Kaseda.

What are you doing here?

Didn't he command you to fight against Jahana?

Kaserada: You're an annoying uncle.

There's nothing to worry about attacking Jahana, right?

I've already subtotaled it.

Let's just wait.

Civil strife will break out in Jahana soon.

It's as if a ripe fruit will rot from the inside.

Avi: Hehehe...... But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Erech and his party were slowly moving towards Jahana.

In this way, the plan you expected to overthrow Jahana will be affected.

Return to the imperial capital with me immediately.

Kaserada: What?

Hey, it's really fake, uncle!

Glenn......

Hmph, Volta, bastard......

What are you still playing!

Avi: Don't say that.

This also has such a use.

Leave it to your subordinates to kill Iverem.

That's right...... Plus those guys I brought.

It's going to be an interesting battle.

Hehehe......

Let's go back, Kaserada.

You don't want to upset that person too, do you?

Kaseda: Hmph......

I really can't help it......

――――

Ephrem: Monsters?

How so?

This is the case......

Totally ...... The monsters are helping the Gulards in their battle......

――――

Seth: The enemy has been swept away.

The wounded are now being transported.

Iverem: Got it. Camp in the town before you're ready to go.

Food was supplied from the market, and the soldiers rested.

However, if someone disturbs the normal life of the citizens, they must be severely punished.

What else?

Seth: Prepare to meet the enemy forces in the east.

In the places not far from the emperor, there will be new armies marching here.

Iverem: yes. Three shifts were ordered to patrol and monitor.

Next......

――――

Mel:......

I'm sorry, Iverem......

――――

Iverem: Mel is gone?

Are you sure?

Seth: Yes. It was gone in the morning......

Probably she wanted to leave on her own.

Ephrem: Where?

Didn't anyone see it?

Seth: The soldiers on patrol said they vaguely saw a young girl walking east.

Probably......

Iverem: Ready to go.

Heading east.

Seth: Prince Iverem......

Iverem: The imperial capital is in the east.

I'm not going to be rash......

Seth:......

Iverem: I will fulfill my mission as a commander.

Seth, it's true that I'm not an ordinary person, as you said

Rather, a commander.

From the point of view of governing the country, there will probably come a time when I will be asked to choose one of the two.

However, how can you simply abandon your feelings as an ordinary person.

I won't give up until the last minute.

...... between countries and individuals

I'm going to continue to look for a way to save both......

This is what my ideal Chinese king looks like.

For this, Seth.

Hope you can help me.

Seth:...... I see, Prince Iverem.

Since Prince Iverium has decided that I will do my best for this, I will do my best.

Iverem: Please......

Ephrem: I hope you're alright, Mel......

――――

Marika: ...... It's over.

It seems to have lost.

Eun: Ah, I've found Marika!

Marika: Eun?

What are you doing here.

Eun: So, Malika, the Mercenary Guild introduced you here, right?

Said you were going to complete the mission with Captain Jester, right?

Marika: That's right.

But the captain wasn't there.

Ewen: That's because I made a mistake.

The captain took on another assignment over there.

The captain tells you to hurry over.

Marika: Really?

That's what the captain said?

Eun: Hmm.

Marika: Let's go, then.

Ewen: Ah, wait, wait.

Take me with you.

It seems that these people are going to the east as well.

Take me with you to the captain.

Marika: Okay.

――――

Ewen: Ah, hello.

My name is Ewen. It's a trainee magician.

I'm looking for someone named Malika.

Well, can I go with you to find it for me?

I'm sure I'll be able to help. If I run into an enemy, I will destroy them with the magic passed down by my father.

What do you think?

――――

NPC Villager 3: Ah...... That lady dancer hasn't come yet.

Watching her dance once makes her feel energetic for some reason.

Even after a day of work, you can feel energized after reading it.

Can you dance again for me......
