Yuto left the reception room on the first floor of the Matou mansion first.
　When he stepped out into the corridor, the first floor was in a hurry, and he could see that Matou's soldiers were coming and going, making preparations at a rapid pace to intercept the hordes of demons that were about to arrive.
　Yuto sees this................and he clenches his fists.
　This is not a situation that should have originally happened to Millimer.

''Master Du Du, there you are, you're here. We've been looking for you.

　Yuto was spoken to from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Mattoo's butler, Aroucaune, there. However, the figure was not that of a butler.
　Aroucaune was dressed in a military uniform and had a monstrous appearance with a weapon wrapped around his entire body. The aura of an experienced warrior could be felt from the current Aroucaune, even if one could not deny it.

''Mr. Aroucaune!　You're dressed like that...

"Ha, the situation is what it is, and even someone like me can't sit back and relax.

Well....

I have more important things to tell Master Du.

'What?　What would that be?

Prime Minister Guarin is dead. In the car on the way to Minra...

'Hey!　No......... It's a pity, Millimer has lost someone who was sorely missed........

　Yuto was surprised by the story, but he quickly calmed down and responded. Yuto knew, too, that Prime Minister Guaran's condition at that time was serious....
　And Yuto was immediately concerned about Nina. Nina must have been in the car with the seriously injured Guaran.
　Prime Minister Guaran was someone who might be Nina's real father.......how did Nina see the end of Guaran?
　As an ally of Mattoo, or.........
　Yuto unconsciously dropped his eyes to the floor.
　Aroucaune stared at the figure.

''Thank you. That will make Prime Minister Guarang come to mind. Also, there's one more thing I'd like to talk to you about, Master Dou Dou Dou.

What is it?

'I told Miss Nina that Prime Minister Guaran was Miss Nina's real father. And I also told her about the past events between Master Mathew and Prime Minister Guaran. Before Prime Minister Guarán passed away....

　Yuto looked up and stared at Aroucaune's face.

''So, so........Nina-san.......?

Just before Prime Minister Guarin's death, Young Lady Nina took his hand in hers and called out in his ear, "Father." And so it was... again and again and again, right up until the moment he died.

..........

'Only ... a miracle happened. I have been on the battlefield for a long time, but I don't see things like that very often. Because with that body, Prime Minister Guaran........opened his eyes slightly at the last moment, looked at Lady Nina, and screamed......

"...what did they say to you?

'Nina, I'm sorry, I love you.........

....

　What a last, Yuto bit his lip.
　And was Prime Minister Guarin's end really here?　I think. Because it was not the original enemy, the military regime, that killed Guaran.
　If it was killed by that enemy, then the fight is equal. A warrior in battle can think that way.
　But what killed Guaran was a third party organization, the Sword of Surt........
　Considering the purpose of Surt's sword, there should be no reason for Surt's sword to kill Guaran.
　A dense sacred ki unconsciously rises from Yuto's entire body.
　Aroucaune looks at that Yuto and says the thing he wanted to tell him most right now.
　That which he was about to say now might actually be his role, but for some reason, Aroucaune thought it would be better to ask this boy to do it. I don't have a solid reason for it.

''Mr. Du Du, right now, Miss Nina has locked herself in her room and locked herself in. So, I'm sorry, but could you please go and ask Master Niina to come out?　In some cases, you may have to use force. I'll leave that to you, Master Du.

　As he said this, Aroucaune held out the key to Nina's room to Yuto.
　Yuto was surprised and looked at Aroucaune.

'Why?　You want me to do this?

I don't know. But if I had to choose, I'd say that the reason for that is that since Mr. Du and the others have been here for only a short time, I've seen a lot of new expressions on Niina's face for the first time.

Yes but is that why?

''There's another reason. This isn't logical, but........we're somewhat similar, Master Dou Dou Dou.......

Who's this for?

"Lady Thornain. Miss Nina's mother, your mother. No, you may think that Lady Dou Dou Dou is similar to a woman, but it's true. That man is usually kind, but when things happen, he could be a bit of a maniac...

....

Would you mind?　Master Du.

　Aroucaune bowed deeply to Yuto.
　Yuto nodded seriously at Aroucaune who bowed his head.

''I understand I'm not sure I can help you, but I'll try.

"Thank you, Mr. Du Du.

　Aroucaune looked up and handed Yuto the keys to Nina's room.



　Yuto came to the front of Nina's room as Alokaune told him to do.
　Although he received the key to the door from Aroucaune, he couldn't suddenly open the door to the woman's room, so he knocked on it first.
　I expected it, but there was no answer from inside.
　However, when Yuto tried to knock again, surprisingly, he received a reply from Nina, "Come in".
　Yuto opened the door, and when he entered, Nina was standing at the desk in front of the window of this large room, with her back to me.

''Nina-san........''

　It's not as if she thought someone unexpected had come to her voice, but Nina looked back in surprise.
　Looking at that Nina's swollen eyelids, Yuto could guess what kind of situation Nina was in just a few minutes ago.

''Yuto?　What's Yuuto doing here?

'Yes, Mr. Alokoune asked me to tell Nina to come outside...'

..........

　Nina turns her back to Yuto again to ignore him and looks out the window through her desk.
　Yuto stares at Nina's small back.
　And when Yuto looked at Nina when she looked at him, he didn't miss what Nina was hiding in her pocket right now.
　So, Yuto would have to make Nina change her mind.

'Alokoune-san told me about it. About Prime Minister Guaran.........''

　Nina's shoulders shook for a moment at Yuto's words.

It's not a good idea for me to know what to say to you right now. But, Nina-san, that's not the only thing you can do. Put down that gun in your pocket at once.

　When Yuto pointed it out to her, Nina's face stiffened and she turned around and stared at Yuto with a dim smile on her face.

'I've been thinking for a while now, but is Yuto an idiot?　I'm going to avenge my father, remember?　Why would I, for that matter, have to leave this gun behind?

　Saying that, Nina took out the short gun from her pocket with an expressionless face.

''Nina-san I understand how you feel, but........''

　Just as Yuto was about to continue with those words, Nina changed her well-formed face into an angry expression, ran up to Yuto while running in front of him and stuck his cheek with her right hand, with all her strength.

''Do you know how I feel?　You think you know how I feel?　I'm not kidding!　What happened to you!　What do you know about it?　To you, born in a peaceful and prosperous country called Japan!

　Yuto looked down at Nina's face, which was staring at me with tears in her eyes, without saying anything as it was on her slapped cheek.

''Look at what's going on here!

　Nina pointed out the window as she stared at Yuto.

'My mother!　My two fathers!　That life and the future of the millennial who risked her life to protect it is being ruined by people who had nothing to do with it!　And that's just me, these three girls!　I was born in Miremer and I'm supposed to just look at it?　You are!

....

I was determined to dedicate myself to this millimer!　My father Guarin, who died today, to bring about the country he set out to create!　So I have to go!　I'm going to kill these jokers, the Sword of Surt, who trample the thoughts of this country and my three parents!

　Yuto met Nina's sharp gaze with his whole body and then looked at Nina.

''It's useless. Nina-san.''

Na!

''They're not the kind of people you can take down just because one Nina-san went there. One Nina-san died for nothing and that was the end of it. It's a much more sane idea to think about what you can do now, rather than thinking about something stupid like taking revenge on yourself.

!

　Yuto's cold words. Nina was confronted with this fact, and one of her legs backed away weakly.
　And this time, Yuto pointed out the window.

''Just one person dying in vain and that's all that matters?　Nina is.　Millamar is certainly in a lot of trouble right now but that's exactly what you should be doing, Nina, look out the window!　They're not giving up on us yet!　The people out there right now, with General Mattow at the helm, are trying to seize the future of Millamar!

　Nina finds Theintan, Aroucaune, and Mattoo moving impatiently outside the window to intercept the enemy demons.
　But she can't help but feel frustrated that Yuto would tell her that.

''I know........''

　Nina dropped the gun in her hand to the floor.
　Yuto stared at the trembling Nina.

'I know what's really going on!　It's only because I was there that these Surt swords didn't freak out!　For nothing at all!　But what should I do?　I don't know what to do!　My mother is dead and my father Guarin was murdered!　If this continues to be the case and Millimer is destroyed by those monsters, that's what it's all about, father and mother!　And even your other father is about to go to war!

　Nina smashes her fist into Yuto's chest, over and over again.
　Yuto looks at Nina's tears of sadness, frustration, and helplessness that he can't hit anyone right now, and clenches his fists while letting Nina do what she wants to do.
　Yuto was not a boy who denied revenge.
　He had painted his heart with revenge himself.
　Right now, Yuto can understand, no, he can understand this anger and palaver from Nina.
　It's the only thing left for someone who has lost it........

''If I can't do it, then anyone else can!　Anyone!　Beat them!　Beat.........me.

　Nina gets on her knees in front of Yuto and starts to cry.
　Then, Yuto opens his mouth.

'Then ask someone else to do it. Someone who can do it........

　Nina looks up with a huff at Yuto's words.

''Just ask for it, Nina-san. You don't have to be able to do everything yourself........ Nina-san's job is to think about the future of Millimer. It's other people's job to defeat this Surt's sword. Because you know that you can't make this country a better place from now on, Nina-san, you can't do it alone.　Running a large organization like a country requires everyone to work together. I think you need to be able to ask each person who can do that without hesitation, Nina.

　Nina looked up at Yuto, giggled, and stood up.
　Then, she put her hand on Yuto's chest.

''Fufufu, what are you talking about, Yuto.......''

　Nina acted stoutly, still shaking her body slightly. However, her shoulders were more relaxed than before.

''I'm sorry, Yuto. I know that Yuto didn't do anything wrong and I know it had nothing to do with him.......but I said whatever I wanted......

　Nina showed Yuto a smile on her face with tears still in her eyes.
　Yuto sees Nina's resolve in that face, which is not a girl.
　It's an expression that says she will fight to the end.
　It was something that Niina had forced herself to control her own mind to avenge and resolve to do what she could for Millimer now.

'But Yuto I'll just say one thing.

Yeah?

Okay?　It's hypocrisy to say that you can't do something that you can't do, as if you could!　Did I hear about your rank?　Rank D is the third from the bottom, right?　And since even two rank A Mizuho-san and Marion-san are no match for you, you're going to replace them with other even higher ability people, right?　I'm sure you felt that way after hearing me speak, but I don't think that's a good idea.

　Although Nina says that, she doesn't feel like she's blaming Yuto. Rather, it is said in a way that sounds like she is giving gentle advice to Yuto.
　Yuto looked into Nina's eyes and nodded, as if smiling bitterly.

'And one more thing. Yuto is kind. Very gentle. That's why I said terrible things to you too, taking advantage of you....... But I have to tell you, Yuto, trying to do something that doesn't benefit you or obligate you to do it is just drunkenness, okay?　You seem to be good as far as I'm concerned, and you seem to get pushed around a lot, so I think you need to be brave enough to turn them down.

　Yuto smiled at Nina's, attention to him, and nodded again.

''Quite right, Nina-san, you're right...''

　Hearing Yuto's words, Nina suddenly burst into large tears, as if the fury she had been suppressing had broken down. Nina crumpled her well-formed face and raised her voice loudly.

''Thank you, Yuto!　For listening to me ... and I'm sorry!　Slap you.

　Yuto gazed quietly at the fragile but violently sobbing Nina and gently pulled her a little closer to him and stroked her head.

'Don't worry about it, Nina. I'm used to this sort of thing, it's fine.''

　Nina puts her forehead against Yuto's chest and squeezes out a shaky voice.

''Yuto I'm so frustrated... my helplessness!　Now I know that my three parents' spun dreams are the same as mine!　These four guys are about to have their dreams ruined by people who have nothing to do with them!　I just lost my own father today!　I can't do anything about it I'm just a little girl, which is frustrating!

　Nina cried out loudly, unable to control the emotions that were bubbling up.
　Yuto just kept silent and continued to stroke that little head until Nina calmed down.
　After a few minutes of doing so, Nina regained her composure, and when Yuto saw that, he quietly let Nina go.

'Well then, Nina, Aroucaune and the others will be waiting for you outside.

　Nina replied in a firm voice as she wiped away her tears and reformed her face.

''Alright, Yuto. I'm going to go to the garden to make some preparations. You have work to do too, don't you, Yuto?　You can go on ahead, Yuto. I'm not good with this face as expected either, so........

　Nina said and made a smile.
　Yuto also smiled back at Nina and picked up the gun that Nina had dropped.

''I understand. Then I'll go ahead.''

　After saying that, Yuto turned his back to Nina and left the room.
　After leaving Nina's room, Yuto was about to walk out towards the room where Mizuho and the others were, when Yuto was approached by a voice from the side.

'Where are you going?　Yuto's husband.

Yuto only glanced in the direction of the voice.

'Ah, Gaston I've got some work to do.

　Before he knew it, Gaston was resting his weight on the wall of the hallway, and Yuto replied as he walked past him without surprise... and then... he laughed.
　Creeped out, Gaston breaks out in a cold sweat.
　Gaston's spine froze at that profile of Yuto, and his face involuntarily tightened up.

(My husband is angry........from the bottom of my heart........

　And then.........Gaston asks more questions of Yuto as he walks past him.

'What are you going to do?　Sir.....

　Yuto stopped walking.
　Then he turned back to Gaston and answered Gaston's question with a gleam in his eye that was unimaginable from the normally kind-looking Yuto.

'I'm going to go through my hypocrisy and drunkenness.

　Gaston shuddered at Yuto's answer. But he wasn't trembling with fear. He shuddered at the answer of his master and friend, which was typical of Masato, which was given by Masato with a strong will.
　And Gaston waited with all his heart for the words he wanted from Yuto to speak to him, his friend.
　Yuto looked at Gaston and opened his mouth.

'Gaston....'

...What is it?

I need your help...

　Gaston's words sent a feeling of uncontrollable madness coursing through his body.

'I'm sorry I always told you not to do something dangerous and asked you to do something selfish. But now I need to rely on my friend Gaston. You know Gaston, don't you?　Where Surt's sword is...

　Gaston gives Yuto a big smile.

'Of course. I had read that Yuto's husband would come to hear about it~. That Surt's sword is in a cave on the side of Mount Gulwa, north of here. Of course, I've looked up the details of the place and how to get there~. When do you want to go?

Thank you Gaston. I want to go now, to meet this bunch of guys called the Sword of Surt.

All right. Well, why don't we go outside and get a car?

　Yuto and Gaston walked off together and Yuto chuckled.

'Gaston, I've been preaching to people and I've been reminded of my words.

Oh, what?

'If you can't do something you can't do, ask someone who can do it but that's what I could say. I have a friend I can rely on, Gaston!　And everyone!

Okay. You wanted to see me?　Yuto!
You wanted to see me?　My lord.
Master!
'Yay!　It's Yuto!
....
I'm so glad you called me.
Uga!

　Suddenly, the winning girls appeared in the corridor, staring at Yuto with sincere happiness.
　Gaston was surprised, as expected, to see Gaston suddenly buzzing as well.
　When the winning girl finds Gaston, she comes up to him curiously.

''Hmm?　You're a friend of Yuto's, aren't you?

　Gaston looked uncomfortable as the winning girl looked at him like he was being priced out.

'Yes, yes, my name is Gaston. Nice to meet you all.'

　Gen and Ugaron come up to Gaston to introduce themselves, happy to see him.

'Ah!　You... I've been feeling your presence for a while now!　I heard you and Aashiro have a colleague.

Uga!

My mate ... yes, sir!　Keep up the good work.

　Gaston happily replied to the words "Gen's friends".
　Yuto looked over at his bustling, reassuring friends, and Arrogant Hikaru came and knelt in front of Yuto.

''So, Mikan-sama, what in the world can I do for you?''

　Arrogant Hikaru looked up at Yuto, as if he was mindlessly alive.

''Yeah, I need a favor from you guys.

　When Yuto said that, they all laughed happily and focused on Yuto.
　And they seemed to be still waiting for Yuto to say their request to them.

''I want you all to go to each city where the demons summoned by the enemy summoners of this country are likely to attack, and protect the people of this country, the people of Millmar!

　At Yuto's request, the winning girl nodded widely.

''Nah~ If that's the case, it's a cheap order, do you have a map of where I should go?　So we can go right away, okay?

Map?　I'm sure this mansion is out there somewhere...

'Oh, I've got a map of Millimer on the parlor wall, sir!

　After Gaston told them so, they all rushed to the reception room to look at a map of the entire Millimer, and Yuuto put the winning girls in charge of their own city defense.
　After deciding on the charge, the enthusiasm of the winning girls rose.

''Alright!　Yuto!　We'll take care of it!

I'll take care of it.

　White and Susan are also motivated by this.
　There, Arrogant Hikaru kneeled again.

''Mikan-sama, then we will head there immediately.

Yes, please, Arrogant Light.

And where is your house?

''I summoned this horde of demons to strike the summoner...''

　Yuto turned his head to Gaston and nodded, his eyes glaring out the window to the north.

'We're heading for Mount Gulwa!
