"Miss Shephilia, please don't look at me so directly...... I know I'm attractive, but we're all girls...... Your eyes are too enthusiastic, and people are a little overwhelmed......"

Ruri's originally tall ears drooped, and her cheeks flushed and she put on a shy look of twisting and pinching.

"Who, who meant that to you!"

"Eh, isn't it?, then~~ is it ...... I'm afraid that Mr. Cam will be snatched away by me, so I'm blocking it, right~?"

In the blink of an eye, Ruri smiled again, but now it was a mischievous smile.

"When, of course not!!"

"So that means ...... Can I snatch him away~~?"

As he spoke, the playful fox's tail swayed from side to side quickly, and Ruri's figure shook deftly behind Shephelia and grabbed the young maid's arm. The subtle touch from his elbow made Cam's face flush at a loss, once again proving the 'Golden-tailed Fox' clan's ability to charm beyond common sense.

"You guy...... How far are you going to fool me to ......!"

Seeing this scene, Shephilia, who understood that she was being tricked by the other party, finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and in an instant, sharp steel claws appeared from the arm part of the [Luna Armor].

"Ouch, it's scary, it's scary~~!" Liuli, who felt the murderous aura, hurriedly jumped back a few steps, and her attitude returned to her polite appearance at the beginning, which made people have to admire the quirkiness of this little fox, "Actually, as I said before, everything that happened in the imperial capital, I have no malice, I am just carrying out the orders issued by Her Royal Highness the princess, if there is any offense in it, please don't mind." ”

"Oh...... Don't think that a single command will convince us, if you want to apologize, then well, answer my question first. ”

"Well, I don't know what Miss Shephelia wants to know, as long as I know, I'll answer it for you. ”

"Quite simply, I want to know, from 'where' to 'where' is the content of your master's order to you?"

In the series of events that [Zesertoria] encountered, Ruri undoubtedly played the most important central role, in the end, from the beginning, Cam was fascinated outside the door of the banquet hall, to the Count of Lutga, who was wanted by the deposed lord, and finally fell into danger in the palace of Shephilia on the lakeside, everything was an illusion cast by this fox.

Recalling that Liuli's series of actions were undoubtedly premeditated, and wanting to wipe out the nobles of the royal power faction was by no means something that could be done on a temporary basis. Including now, the situation that Ruri and Princess LaBelle went to Celia together, no matter how you think about it, it is extremely unnatural.

In addition, the most fundamental thing is that the owner of the fox, that is, the princess of the empire, LaBel, has the ability to defeat that Sophia, which is the most incredible thing for Shephia. In short, the current situation can be described as full of mysteries.

"From a month ago, I replaced the orc children who were originally transported into the imperial capital and infiltrated the dungeon enclosure where the 'meat animals' were raised in the imperial capital, until I appeared in the banquet hall that night, it was the will of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Unexpectedly, for this core question related to the content of his master's plan, Liuli didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it. It is enough to prove that now that the wood is in the boat, it has become meaningless to conceal what was done at that time.

"What!?...... 'Meat Stock' barn?"

The ugly noun that leaked out of Ruri's mouth immediately caused both Cam and Shephilia to look blatantly disgusted.

"Yes, there are at least ten ranches for orc meat in all parts of the country, and it is said that a large number of orc children are kept there, and they are carefully managed by aristocratic forces with royal backgrounds. Only a month before the scheduled banquet will they be selected and sent to the enclosure of the imperial capital. ”

As for the detailed geographical location of the butcher farm, even Princess LaBelle has not been able to fully grasp it. Of course, she didn't plan to investigate in detail, as long as she knew the time and route of the goods entering the imperial capital gate at a minimum, she would have a way to intercept them and wrap them in. In fact, this is also the case, and a month ago, Liuli successfully replaced the orc child who was originally sent to the imperial capital.

"This kind of thing...... Why can you face ......it so indifferently? You know, those innocent orc compatriots have been treated so cruelly!"

"Of course I sympathize with them~~ However, this can only be said to be fate. ”

"How could there be such an unreasonable fate......!"

Liuli's indifferent words made Cam's emotions involuntarily excited, and at this moment, what flashed in front of his eyes was the scene of his family and tribe being hunted by humans in the jungle. But what he had heard now was a hundred times more cruel than simply killing or selling into slavery.

Before hearing this, the boy could not have imagined that there were crazy people in the world who would raise orcs as livestock for food. And these madmen are still the top people in power in this country. The desperate reality of the truth made the young orc boy fall into an unbearable depression.

“......”

However, unlike Cam, who expressed his emotions fiercely, Shephilia fell into a subtle silence after hearing the remarks about 'fate'.

To be honest, her feelings are very complicated, after all, not long ago, she believed in the so-called fate like Liuli, and accepted the cruel fate she would face as an orc. Not to mention anything else, even the clansmen of Cam around her were destroyed by the hands of the 'Gray Beast Regiment' she led.

At the same time, Shephilia also noticed that Liuli's role as a 'stand-in' was actually quite a dangerous mission. It is difficult to imagine the cruel abuse and suffering in the so-called meat barn, but the girl in front of her said nothing about what happened at that time. In other words, in order to fulfill her mission, Liuli took the corresponding risks and sufferings, so she has no qualifications to blame her.

But, despite this, after hesitating for a while, Shephilia couldn't help but ask-

"Your master...... Whatever you are asked to do, will you do it, even if it costs ...... dearly?"

"Of course, I love Her Royal Highness and believe in her. She is the only one in this world who will not betray my relatives. As long as it is the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess, no matter what I am asked to pay, I will not hesitate. ”

As if she were a competent slave, Ruri did not hesitate to express her loyalty, and then, she turned her gaze to Cam.

"Mr. Cam just said that the fate of the orcs is too cruel...... That's right, that's what I thought too. And Her Royal Highness the princess is working hard to subvert this status quo. I believe that the two of you are both orcs like me, and you also have an object worthy of your life and absolute trust, right?"

"This ...... That's true......"

“......”

The final question resonated with both Cam and Shephilia.

For Cam, Sophia, a lifesaver and instructor, and for Shephia, Jonathan, an adoptive father. These two people were the saviors who dragged them away from the fire at the most critical and desperate moment.

However, among the three orc children, only the youngest Cam was the youngest, and he alone noticed the key point of the orc's miserable situation - in the empire, even if there is a helping hand to the 'orcs', it will never be a fellow orc, but also a human who oppresses one side.

At the same time, the little young maid suddenly realized the core reason why the beasts in the empire ended up in this miserable situation. It is not simply because of human persecution, nor is it a heretical declaration of the Goddess Cult.

If there is the only way to resolve this contradiction, it is -

**

Just as the silver-white cat-eared boy was lost in thought, a dazzling scorching light flashed from above and exploded in the grass not far behind him, leaving a charred crater and a sea of fire.

Immediately afterward, a continuous stream of light swept through the sky like a meteor shower, falling aimlessly towards all the surrounding areas, rolling up bursts of fierce flames.

"Hahaha, it's amazing, although I don't know what the enemy is, but it seems that Lutga and that ice lizard have completely annoyed each other. According to this momentum, it won't be long before the entire western part of the imperial capital will turn into a wasteland. ”

Faced with this apocalyptic situation without warning, Princess Flora, who was at the front of the queue, did not show the slightest fear, she summoned a huge knight's spear out of nowhere, and lightly rummaged it in the palm of her hand several times, raising the corners of her mouth to show a bold smile.

"Sophia, how about it, what I just said, will you accept my offer?"

"Compared to this...... Let's solve the immediate troubles first!"

- The battleship erected on the ridge...... It's starting to collapse......

Using her amazing eyesight, Sophia had noticed the source of the light, and that the 'Ark' in the distant mountains was suffering severe damage.

Unexpectedly, the few of them only lagged behind for a while, and the battle situation was already inexplicably hot.

- must get there immediately.

Although she could not say the exact reason, it may have been just a simple illusion, but Sophia was sure that she had to rush to the place where the ark was, because her sisters must be there.

"Well, while you're defeating the enemy, think about it and tell your mother your final answer! Now, let me meet the other two precious daughters——!"
