[Babbling, babbling

At the moment of near dawn, from the communication magic guide built into the moon god's armor, the girl's heart-rending scream was heard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Miss Shephilia?what's wrong?Miss Shephilia!?"

Cam, who was on standby at a sniper position on a rooftop, hurriedly called the communicator. However, the girl on the other side did not pay attention to her own voice at all, and continued to cry as if she had turned back into a helpless child.

[Don't, don't come-!!Don't come-!!!......! Wow wow...... Don't ......]

Cam immediately switched the communication channel-

"Miss Sophia, what the hell is going on??

Again, there was no answer, and only a murmur of "zz-z-z" came back from the other side of the communication magician.

"Mr. Jonathan, Miss Shephelia has a problem!"

Unable to get through, Cam had to switch the communication channel again, connect to Jonathan, who was the chief commander of operations, and report Shephilia's frantic state to him.

In fact, the reason why Cam Club maintained communication with Shephelia was because of Jonathan's instructions. In my case, it was a 'just in case' strategy, as if he had suspected from the beginning that something was going to happen.

[Hmm...... Sure enough, ah no, it should be said that it was beyond expectations......]

"What the hell is going on!?"

[Anyway, Cam, you rush to Shephilia and Miss Sophia at once.] 】

"But the support here ......"

[This is the end of the matter, you don't need to stay here. Leave the feint to us, you act immediately, and then keep the communication, and explain to you as you move. 】

"Understood!"

After receiving the order, Cam put away his bulky sniper rifle, ejected the [Archer] card from the card slot, and immediately turned around and strode in the direction of the Imperial City.

[Look at Shephilia's appearance, probably a good thing done by the 'Golden-tailed Fox'. 】

"Golden-tailed fox??"

[You are young, you may not know very well, it is a kind of beast race that has been hunted to extinction, and it is also a relatively special beast race. Once upon a time, when Blacksilver's Fangs were an ordinary guild of adventurers, our leader was the Golden-tailed Fox. He is much weaker physically than other orc races, but he has a lot of magic and a natural ability to confuse his opponents. 】

"Orcs with special abilities...... Confuse your opponent ......"

Cam repeated Jonathan's words secretly, and suddenly an electrocution-like thought flashed through his mind, "Difficult, could it be that I ...... at that time!"

[Looks like you've guessed it.] I've been paying attention to what happened tonight as you describe what happened tonight. That's what you said at the time, 'You killed two coachmen, but you have no memory, and when you come back to your senses, you're unconscious', right? At that time, the orc child you encountered was probably the Golden-tailed Fox Clan, and you were unknowingly seduced by the other party. 】

"Sorry...... I ......"

[Don't take it to heart young man, this is helpless, after all, a child like you who is just starting to fall in love, and you are also an orc with extremely keen senses, it is impossible to resist the charm from the golden-tailed fox, that ability is extremely deadly for the beast of the opposite sex, even humans will be fascinated by it. The former president was also very unpleasant when it came to gathering information, and any little girl would become a lamb to the slaughter in front of him. 】

"So, did you have forethought that the golden-tailed fox would be the devil to let Miss Shephilia accompany Miss Sophia to the palace, because charm will not be effective for the same sex?"

[That's right, because the 'little girl with golden hair and tail' you mentioned in your mouth has not been found anywhere, either from the rescued orc children or from the corpses that have been killed, then it is very likely that she has escaped the scene alive.] According to my guess, it's very likely that she was working for someone and showed up at the banquet hall for some purpose......

And the lord will lose control in the banquet hall, and it is very likely that he has been seduced by this golden-tailed fox, so if you think about it, everything makes sense. If this is the case, then the golden-tailed fox, who has now completed her mission, should return to her master.

Judging from the current situation of Shephilia's attack on the palace, the mastermind behind today's farce is ...... That is, the mastermind behind the delivery of the invitation to the lord through the Imperial Capital Cuisine Merchants Association was not His Majesty the Emperor, but his sister, Princess LaBel. In other words, she is the owner of the golden-tailed fox...... Although I don't know what his intentions are, it is enough to prove that the lord is not just a shield, and he may have an even more important role in Princess Label's plan. 】

"But if that is the case, why would Miss Shephilia ......?, and even Miss Sophia did not answer...... Damn!"

The thought that the two might find themselves in an unforeseen crisis made Cam anxious.

[This is exactly what I mean by 'unexpected'.] The charm of the golden-tailed fox is something similar to a racial talent...... But the essence of this ability is not only to tempt the opposite sex, after a certain amount of training, it can evolve into a more convenient magic effect that can even forcibly manipulate the spirit......

Although I don't know what exactly she did to Shephilia, I just calm down Cam first, and thinking about it will only make a mistake in judgment. Rush to the scene, observe with your own eyes, think carefully, and draw reasonable conclusions before trying to take action. Of course, before that, you must do a good job of self-protection, don't waste the information you have in vain, and deal with it carefully...... Don't repeat the mistakes of the past. 】

[Got it, Mr. Jonathan!【Luna Armor】Activate the full armament mode, covering all the senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch!【Assassin】Load!All senses rely on the assistance of the magic guide!】

With Cam's voice command, the shape of the maid's skirt began to change dramatically. You must know that the original female version of the [Luna Armor] is not only to show the girl's sexiness and softness and expose a lot of skin, but also to facilitate the beast race's keen sensory system to be maximized in actual combat.

So, of course, the basic design is also equipped with the same 'fully armed mode' as the male version, which allows the demonized carbon steel to be armed to the teeth in order to strengthen the defense system to the maximum.

At this time, the white porcelain's full-body armor reflected the bright red morning sun that was slowly rising in the sky, making Cam's figure like a burning steel wolf, jumping back and forth between the eaves, and leaping towards the top of the peak capital without stopping......

**

This is a hell from which there is nowhere to escape, and no matter how much Shephilia covers her eyes and ears, she cannot escape the tragic scene that exists only in her memory.

And, as time passed, not only the sound and the sight, but also the sticky touch and fishy smell of the time began to be clearly reproduced.

The immersive horror and oppression are destroying every inch of the beast girl's skin, every strand of hair. Obviously, many years have passed, and obviously they have mastered superb martial arts, and the [Moon God Armor] provides indestructible protection for themselves-

However, at this moment, Shephilia had the illusion that she was naked, and the dirty and humid air made her have goosebumps all over her body. In fact, with the superb skills of today's girl, she can easily kill those indiscriminate mercenaries who were violent to her back then, even with her bare hands.

But despite this, Shephilia could only squat in the corner and tremble like a weak little girl, as if she had forgotten all the experiences she had accumulated over the past few years, and returned to the hell in which she was back then. She even had the terrifying illusion that she had never escaped hell, that everything was just a dream.

[It's terrible, isn't it, it's painful, isn't it? At that time, my people were also so painful. You won't forget, will you......]

Coldly, the young maid who had declared that she would free the orcs and aspire to create a peaceful world suddenly appeared beside her, staring at her with cold and hateful gaze and whispering in disgust.

"No...... Say no more...... No...... Don't talk about it......!"

Shephilia had always known that Cam must hate himself in his heart, and even if it wasn't revealed on the surface, he would definitely settle this blood debt with him one day.

[Friend, stop dreaming...... A filthy orc like you is at best a pawn and a prop for me. 】

It was as if he had fallen into a well, and the cold words came from the mouth of a woman with few human beings on the other side. Sophia, who is strong, beautiful, and cold, but who calls herself a friend and reaches out in times of crisis, despises herself with the eyes of garbage.

"Please, please...... No, don't...... Whoa, whoa!"

Shephilia also knew that Sophia looked down on orcs at all in her heart, and in her mind, her life and her blood-related family could not be compared at all.

But even if he knew it, at the moment of reliving the despair of the past, he happened to hear the two of them reveal their true hearts so openly, which was too cruel, enough to tear the girl's heart to pieces.

Shephelia tried to drown out the voices of the two with her own hysterical cries, but the move was pointless......

[As soon as I have the opportunity, I will take revenge, I will let you taste the humiliation of the people who are several times better than the people!]

[When you're useless, I'll throw you away, just like you throw away those dirty strips of cloth.] 】

The words of the two even sounded as if they were directly in their minds, becoming clearer and clearer.

And at this moment, the man on the other side of the door, as if aware of his presence, was approaching him with an ugly piece of flesh with a lewd grin.

In the gaps in the men's bodies, you can see her young and miserable self, staring into her eyes with empty eyes, not only that, but she gradually showed a strange smile, and her two dry and bloodless lips opened and closed gently, clearly saying-

Huan -

Ying-

Back -

Come......

"No, no

At this moment, Shephilia completely collapsed, and her hands and feet struggled frantically like a baby crying in the night.

However, in the end, he was unable to resist and was overwhelmed by the ugly flesh.

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, there was not a little light, and there was no sound, and the girl's spirit sank deeper and deeper as if drowning, until her consciousness fell into real 'nothingness'.

Feeling nothing, and not wanting to think about anything, the girl just wanted to get away from the cruel and noisy world, and hide in the silent void.

However, the girl was still looking forward to the arrival of 'who' in her heart, and issued a helpless cry for help.

Under such a weak wish, I don't know how long it took for my body to suddenly lose consciousness and feel something again......

Yes, that's the feeling of temperature. It's kind of cold.

Cold...... But it's refreshing -- yes, it's the touch of water.

"Water ......?"

She wanted to make a sound, but as soon as she opened her lips, the cool liquid choked into her trachea, and the indescribable pain made her groggy consciousness wake up quickly.

When I opened my eyes suddenly, the first thing I saw was a 'twisted moon' in the ripples.

- What's going on!??Yourself in the water?Why??

Surefire questions came flooding her mind, and the instinct to survive caused Shephilia to swing her hands and feet, trying to float her body. But she found that a heavy 'piece of iron' was pressing on her body.

I saw that the mask made of white porcelain-like metal spread out to both sides, revealing a familiar face. It was a young, more beautiful face than a girl, a teenager's face.

Until just now, the boy who was still in the 'dream', forcing himself into a cornered with contemptuous words and eyes, showed an extremely hearty, angel-like smile at this moment.

Shephilia, however, had no time to be fascinated by it, because the suffocation of not being able to breathe in the water pressed her lungs and all her organs, making her body struggle hard.

And at this very moment-

The young man in front of him couldn't help but gag his mouth and blew warm air into his mouth.

The timely injection of oxygen makes the cells of Shephilia's whole body feel as if they have been reborn. At this moment, she couldn't help but indulge in this dream-like scene, and even the nightmarish experience just now was left behind.

Leaving the water, the two of them, whose silver hair and ears were soaked by the lake, faced each other coughing and gasping for fresh air.

"Great...... Miss Shephilia, you're finally recovering...... Huh...... Hahh......"

"Ka, Cam, you, how are you in ...... Over here...... And also...... What the hell is going on...... Gollum Gurrr......

Faced with the young man's bright smile without haze, Shephelia couldn't help but bury her slightly flushed cheeks very low, borrow her moist hair to cover her eyes, and blow bubbles while asking intermittently.

"Because of some misgivings, I can't worry about you and Miss Sophia, so Mr. Jonathan asked me to come to your aid. ”

"I, what the hell happened to me...... Also, why in the water, you just, and why ...... ...... to me That ......"

"When I arrived, you had completely fallen under the illusion of the golden-tailed fox, and you fainted in the hallway, and you seemed to have a terrible nightmare, lying on the ground struggling and screaming...... At that time, I remembered that Miss Sophia once said that when you are under mental hypnosis, the best way is to make your whole body feel a sharp pain or temperature change, so I will take you out of the palace and jump into the lake together, but seeing that you have been soaked for a long time and have not come back to your senses, I can only keep using the artificial circulation breathing method taught by Miss Sophia to help you...... In short, it's great to be saved in the end!"

"Hara, that's ......"

Then, with Cam's help, Shephilia maintained a somewhat awkward atmosphere and climbed to the shore of the lake together.

"Now that we've saved the day, let's regroup and go back in to rescue the lord. ”

“......”

However, the teenager's plan did not receive an immediate response from Shephilia. Probably because the chill has not subsided, it can be clearly seen that the girl of the beast clan is trembling all over.

"What's wrong? Miss Shephilia?"

"Cam...... That one...... Do you hate me very much...... Would you like to avenge your people...... you want to avenge your people?"

At this moment, Shephilia asked a restless question, and she didn't even dare to look at the teenager.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Answer me first......"

"Well, of course, I hate you. ”

So, without thinking, Cam gave the answer that the girl was most afraid of, and when 'Hate You' came out of the two exits, Shephilia's shoulders bounced exaggeratedly.

"I've said it before. I remember that Miss Shephelia criticized me harshly, and I kept every word in my heart as a warning to move towards my dreams. So ......"

Cam was halfway through his speech, and said in a very serious tone, "So, I have given up the idea of revenge against Miss Shephelia. ”

"Huh......?"

"Because for Miss Shephelia, it is the greatest revenge for you that I can fulfill my dream with dignity...... Isn't it?"

"Hmm...... Hmm......" The young man's dazzling gesture made Shephilia feel a sense of shame swelling up in her heart, and she once again turned her gaze, trying to hide her hot cheeks with her bangs.

"So, then...... Sophia, what does she think? We orcs ...... Is it just a chess piece, a prop?"

"Probably. Once again, Cam did not hesitate to give a thrilling answer, but this time the girl resisted, and instead of falling into depression at once, she waited quietly for the boy to finish.

"You must know that Miss Sophia is such a character after all, and she always considers herself 'a mere warrior', in her eyes, no matter which soldier it is, we or not, including herself, as long as we set foot on the battlefield, then everyone is just a 'pawn' on an equal footing...... But isn't the word 'prop' accurate?"

"Huh?"

"I guess it's a weapon. Miss Sophia, she is like a blade sharpened to the extreme, sharp, deadly, and ......beautiful," she said, the young maid's eyes were full of admiration and joy, but for some reason, Shephilia felt a trace of loneliness and helplessness in the pure longing of the young man.

"So, like Miss Sophia, I also want to transform myself into a 'blade'...... Unfortunately, Miss Sophia said that I was more suited to be 'a bullet'...... But Miss Sophia once said, Miss Shephilia, you are more suitable to be a 'blade' than herself......, right? After all, you see, as a man, I always feel very delicate...... I want girls to fight on the front line while hiding behind their backs......"

Cam told this with an embarrassed smile on his face, not at all sad or disappointed, even proud of it.

"Heh, hehehehe......" Shephelia laughed happily, and at the same time, gently rubbed the lake water in the corners of her eyes with her fingers, "What a freak, you master and servant ......"

"Uh? Did I say anything strange?"

"No, no. Shephilia shook her head, took a deep breath, regained her form, and said in a serious tone, "I'm really sorry that my plan for today has been repeatedly delayed because of my continuous missteps. Next...... I will do my best, and I will never repeat the mistakes of the past!"

"Hehe, this is like Miss Shephelia. Don't worry, the countermeasures against the Golden-tailed Fox Illusion have been established, and we just need to ...... next."

"Now, Cam. ”

The boy was halfway through his plan, but Shephilia was out of place and suddenly interrupted him halfway.

"Eh, what's the problem, Miss Shephilia?"

"That's, Cam...... Me, what about me...... It's ......" Shephilia's appearance of wanting to speak again made Cam tilt his head sideways, revealing a puzzled look. After some struggle, at last, as if she had made up her mind, Shephilia said to the pretty boy dressed as a maid, "I ...... Even if the opponent is Sophia, it doesn't matter how many years it takes...... I will absolutely, definitely not lose to her!"

Although, for seven-year-old Cam, he doesn't know what kind of victory or defeat the words mean.

"Uh, ah...... Miss Shephia is very good, and in time she may be able to catch up with Miss Sophia!"
