Remus, a member of the Red Bear Warriors

　Karis and I wandered through the forest alone.
　We got separated from the rest of the group.

'Are you okay? Charis?

　I look at Karis' left leg.
　The white cloth on his thigh is stained red.
　This is the fourth time I've been attacked by a giant beetle monster and red-hatted goblins.
　With the inspiration of a beast, Charis has a high self-healing ability.
　So a wound of this magnitude should heal quickly.
　However, the wound didn't close up and continues to bleed.
　Perhaps the red-hatted goblin's blade was coated with some kind of poison.
　It could be quite a dangerous poison. Karis's wounds, which were also resistant to the poison, couldn't heal.

'Yeah, I'm fine. It's all thanks to the herbs in Remus, isn't it?

　Karis looks fine.
　He certainly looks fine.
　But I can't push it.

'I'm glad the herbs I brought with me just in case were helpful. ......

　Unable to be useful in battle, I studied herbology in order to be useful in other ways.
　Until now, self-healing hadn't helped Karis because she didn't need the herbs.
　I thank the goddess of medicinal herbs, Phanakea, for healing Karis' wounds.

I've lost everyone. I have to get back to .......

　Karis says, looking around.
　Each time we were attacked, our friends scattered and finally we were alone.
　I hope everyone is safe. But we shouldn't be looking for our friends now.

'No, Karis. Let's go back to the encampment now.

　There is a peach-colored fog in the forest.
　Therefore, visibility is poor.
　Moreover, this peach-colored fog has a sweet smell that dulls my thoughts.
　Karis is also injured. It's not safe to stay here any longer.

''But .......''
The Commander will be fine. He's that strong.

　The Commander should be fine.
　The Commander, who is also known as the Red Bear, is strong. I don't think he can be beaten easily.

'If you still want to go looking for them, I'll follow you. I can't just let Karis go, you know.

　I say unequivocally.

'All right. Any more and Remus might die. I'll be back here for a while.

　Charis reluctantly agrees.
　It's been said that the congregation of the god of war, Torls-sama, and his daughter, Amazona-sama, don't know how to retreat, but that's not true.
　Most of them do, but some of them can retreat.
　The same is true of Charis and the Commander. That's why we were able to keep fighting until now.
　We begin to walk away from the forest.

Wait!　Remus!

　Suddenly, Karis stops.
　Karis's eyes are shining gold like a panther.
　I can tell the demon is nearby by the way he looks at me.
　I also hold up my little sword.
　There are only two of us, so it's pretty tough.
　However, I don't want to be a drag on Karis.

''There!

　Karis jumps up and slashes at the one behind the fog.
　There's a crunching sound of metal clashing with a gakin.

'Wait! Wait!
What?

　Karis's puzzled voice.
　And then I hear a familiar voice.
　I head to where Karis jumped at me.
　As I get closer, I see a familiar face.

'Torx?!!!!'

　The one who was there was the same Red Bear Warband member, Torx.
　Torx was standing with his sword blocking Karis' axe.

Yeah! Yes!　It's my buddy, Mr. Torx!　Don't make a mistake, please!

　Torx says with a laugh.
　His laughter is somehow different from the usual.

'Sorry! Torx!　I thought it was a goblin!

　Caris draws his axe and apologizes to Torx.

'That's terrible! Charis!　You're a human being, for all intents and purposes!　You're not a goblin!

　Torx spreads his hands out to show himself.
　But it's funny. Torx doesn't call Charis by her nickname.
　It's Torx in appearance, but it looks like a different person inside.

"That's definitely a Torx. I'm sorry, maybe the fog is affecting my senses: ....... I can't believe you've mistaken my friends for goblins.

　Karis apologizes to Torx.

'Karis!　You're safe!

　Suddenly, the sky shines and someone comes down.

''Shirone-sama?!

　It was Sirone who came down from the sky.

I saw you from the sky and I came down. I'm glad you're safe.

　Lord Syrone looks at us and smiles.

You can't control this forest. This is an order from the general. Now, get out of here.

　Master Sirone pointed to a point in the forest.
　Apparently the encampment is in that direction.

''Thank you. Then the commanders can go to .......
'Yeah, that red bear uncle of yours is safe, maybe he's back by now: ......, hmm?'

　Sirone's eyes stop at a certain point as she looks at us.
　Torx is there.
　Torx is turning his head to the side, looking away from Sirone.
　A lot of sweat is flowing from his face.

'Goblin-like face ....... Where have I seen this before?

　Master Sirone looks at Torx intently.
　Torx is still turning his face away. Isn't that attitude rude?
　And what does it mean that Torx has a goblin face?
　Torx is rather manly. He doesn't look like an ugly goblin.

''That Syrone-sama. We were at the front of the line when we set out to enter this forest. Isn't that when it happened?

　I say in passing.

'I guess so: ....... But, wait, okay! You guys need to get back as fast as you can. There are no demons around here, so if you walk straight in that direction you should be able to get back.

　Saying that, Shirone-sama flew through the air again.

''Thank God~''

　Torx lets out a sigh of relief.
　What does he mean by "saved"?

What's up, Torx?　You don't look so good.

　Karis says with concern.

'Ha ha ha!　It's nothing!　Come on, let's get going!

　Torx laughed out loud and began to walk in the direction Shirone-sama pointed.

'What the hell is this?'

　Me and Karis looked at each other and followed Torx.






The black-haired wise man Chiyuki.

'Who!　I'm not going to give Raina to you: ---- ！！！！！
"Every man who gets dumped is a disgrace to himself!　I'm going to pay you back!
"I'm not the one who got dumped!　Take those words back!
"Kill me in front of you!　Raina will wake up, too!
Get it done: ----!
Oraaahhhh!

　Far above the Castle of Sweets, a battle between Rage and the evil gods is unfolding in front of us.
　The scene is a complete melee.
　Therefore, it's difficult to cover for magic.

''Chiyuki-san. I don't want to go into that fight.

　Reno gives me a troubled look.

'So am I, Reno. And I don't want you to come over here to stimulate me poorly.'

　The evil gods are not interested, or they are ignoring us with guns blazing.
　The reason why they are fighting with Rage in the first place is because they don't want to acknowledge Rage as Raina's lover.
　It's evident from their words.
　Rage is also taking their challenge, betting on Raina.
　She doesn't seem to have any intention of retreating.

''Chiyuki-san~. Reno-chan~

　I can hear Shirone's voice.
　If you look in the direction of the voice, you'll see Sirone and Nao flying towards you.
　Shirone has grown wings and Nao has taken on a half-beast form.
　The girls had been asked to go retreat the freedom fighters.

''Good work, you two. How was it?
There's a lot of damage. But the survivors are all evacuating.
Charis and Remus are safe.
Yeah. Good.

　Charis and the others seem to be safe.

What about this one, by the way? Chiyuki-san?
See for yourself. You see, Sirone? I think you're going to be okay on your own, Raige.

　I look at Rage and the others.
　The evil gods are outnumbered, but it's Rage who has the upper hand.
　He is overwhelming the evil gods by himself.
　This is not because Rage is strong, but rather because the evil gods are not aligned with each other at all.
　Rather, they are dragging each other down.
　Well, to them, just like Rage, the other evil gods are also enemies.

''Raina-chan is Bokchin's!
"Hey, fatty!　What the hell are you talking about? Raina is mine!
'What are you talking about?　Who are you?　I'm the one who deserves to be the beautiful princess in heaven!
What an a**h*le!
f*ck you!　You kooky bastard: ！！！！！！

　I can hear the evil gods' angry voices so far.

''We're starting to fall out of line somewhat, Chiyuki-san: ......

　Reno gives me a look that says what the hell is going on.
　Leaving Rage alone, some of the evil gods have started fighting separately.

''Really. ....... Well, thanks to that, Rage, you seem to be doing okay.

　But it's very ugly to watch. Ugly indeed.
　Sirone and Nao also have a blank look on their faces.

''I'll be the one to do the ●x-△ with Raina!
'No! It's me!　I'm going to enjoy doing □×▲ with those big tits: ！！！！
What?　If so, I'll play ◇■×00● with Lord Raina: ！！！！！！！！！
'What a bunch of lowlifes!　You're going to take my tits away from me: ！！！！
'Huh?　What are you talking about? You are!　Raina's artistic tits are mine: ！！！！！

　There is a lot of vulgarity flying around that I can't bear to hear.
　Their voices are wasted.
　I can hear them even if I cover my ears.
　I feel a little sorry for Raina.
　I hold my head up.

'Hey, do you mind if I blow it up with my extremely large explosive magic?'
'No!　I know how you feel.　You can't do that, Mr. Chiyuki!　Rage-senpai is there too!

　Nao stops me in a hurry.
　But for me, I feel like I want to blow up Rage, who is actively participating in that conflict, too.

''Haha, I wonder what he's doing at all ......''

　He watched the conflict with blank eyes.
