Black haired wise man Chiyuki

　Sekmetra, Queen of the Lion.
　She is the sister of Ushalus, the god of the underworld, and the aunt of Halseth, the Gypseal god of light.
　She is also the queen of the Winged Lionesses (Sphinxes) and all the Sphinxes are her attendants.
　And she may be the true ruler of this gypseal.
　She is the true ruler of the Gypseal, and she looks down on us from a high place during her time as King of the Golden Palace of Arnak.
　She is adorned all over with gold, and all of her golden ornaments are inlaid with jewels.
　A powerful pressure is felt from its superimposed lion and human forms.

Well, it seems that all the visitors are here. Now let's take care of business.

　Sekmetra points the staff in her hand.
　The golden staff has a beast-head ornament on the head and a stone thrust in two halves, called a wuas.
　The staff means power and control, and is a symbol of power.

'I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Sekhmetra. I don't actually have any business with you. I came to see Bruul, who was supposed to be here today.

　Ishtia looks over at the beast gods in line.

''Hou? You have business with my friend and ally, Bruul? Come forward, Bruul, you may come forward.

　As Sekmetra says this, one woman comes out from among the beast gods lined up on the right.
　She appears to be a human woman at first glance.
　However, there is a large, long scorpion tail sticking out from underneath her one-piece outfit.
　I guess she is Bruul, the goddess worshipped by the Scorpion Man of Serket's kingdom.
　If you look closely, she resembles Gilthar before she took on her true form.

''Do you have business with me? What do you mean by that?

　Bruul steps forward and looks at us quizzically.

Your brother Gilthal's poison has actually caused the deaths of our friends in Toles and Rage. Fana says that they need your poison to make an antidote to the poison. So I was wondering if you would be willing to share some of your poison with us.

'My brother did that ....... And I need my poison.

　Bruul touches his own tail and ponders.

'Please, Mr. Bruul. I have heard that you have parted company with your brother. So you should not have any reservations about your brother. Could you please share the poison with me?

　I ask Bruul for help.

'I believe it was Chiyuki, the black-haired wise man, wasn't it? It is true that I have parted company with my brother. But I have no righteousness to share my poison.

　Bruul shook his head curtly.

'Hey, Bruul. Can't you do something about that?

　Ishtia leans forward and begs.
　A cheer goes up from the male beast god.
　But Bruul is a goddess. There is no change in his expression.

''Please, Bruul! My people are in danger! Help!

　Rage stares at Bruul with a serious expression on his face.
　Huh? I think something changed in Bruul's expression for a moment.

''Well, well, I'm not ruthless either. I'd like to ask the Lord Alliance to make a decision here.''

　Saying that, Bruul looks at Sekmetra to escape Rage's gaze.
　Perhaps Bruul is a face-eater.
　And, as the name "ally" suggests, Bruul and Sekhmetra may not be master and servant.
　All those present, all of them look at Sekmetra.

'Well, Bruul. "Well, Bruul, you can make your own decision. Then I will not be able to ask you for a favor. You have hurt your brother, Zuto. And I am not related to your people. I have no business helping you.

　Sekmetra giggles and refuses to do us a favor.
　The word "Zut" refers to Toles, the war god of Elyos.
　Come to think of it, Toles was treated as an evil god in this gypseal.
　As Sekhmetra, he would have no righteousness to help.
　The story of Ishtia made it seem much easier: .......
　That wasn't the case.

''Please! The Lion Queen! Don't say that, I need your help!

　Rage asks Sekmetra to look as serious as he did with Bruul.
　But he doesn't seem to be moved by it.
　Maybe Rage isn't to his liking.

'Shut up, brave man of light. I will not do anything that does not benefit me.''

　Sekmetra shakes her head.
　There seems to be something in that smile that contains it.

'I see, I mean, Sekmetra. If it's going to benefit you in any way, I'd say it's a different story.'

Hmm. You talk fast, Ishtia. You're a very fast talker, Ishtia. To tell you the truth, there's a problem at Gipsyll right now. I need you to take care of it.

　Sekhmetra points her Uath cane at us again, at us.
　Her face is smiling. Maybe she was going to make us do something all along.

'Problem? What's that?

　Ishtia tilts her head.

Yes, it is. What do you know about this pyramid that guards the Gypseal?

'I don't know ....... Do you know Chiyuki?

　Rage looks at me.

'I know. 'I know, Raige. You mean the pyramid wards protecting the gypseal, right?

　As I recall, there are nearly a hundred pyramids in the Gypseal, large and small, combined.
　Those pyramids are magic power generators, and the entire Gypseal is covered by a ward.
　In other words, the entire Gypseal has the same effect as the Labyrinth of Lavrus.
　As long as they fought here, the Gypseal gods would have the advantage as long as they fought in this place.
　It's not a limited place called a labyrinth, and the wards that are large enough to cover the entire region would only be found in Gypseal.

They do have a reputation for being wise. That's right. The Golden Pyramid of Arnak, built by Walla's beloved husband Heivos. The golden pyramid of Arnak, a facsimile of which Harses and Ithodes have reproduced in large numbers to create a warding that covers the entire Gypseal.

　Sekmetra proudly speaks of the pyramids.
　Her husband is Heivos, the blacksmith god of Elyos.
　Both siblings have a strong connection to the god of Elyos.
　It is said that there is a large temple of Heybos in the Kingdom of Ptahha in Zipshir, where many dwarves live.
　Perhaps Sekhmetra is very proud of the pyramid that her husband built for her.

'I see. What's wrong with that pyramid?

　Sekmetra's face clouds over when Rage asks.
　What's going on?

To tell you the truth, that's one of the pyramids: ....... It was recently stolen by the serpents of Apophis.

　Ishtia exclaims in surprise.

'Huh? What do you mean, Sekhmetra? I can't believe they took something so important from me. What's going on with your defenses?

Don't say that. Don't say that, Ishtia. The pyramid under construction on the border of Gypsir and Apophis was taken from me. Harses and Ithess wanted to build a new one because the snakes have been making a lot of noise lately. They were attacked by the unfinished work, which was not yet fully defended.

　Sekmetra then looks at Harseth.
　Harseth's face looks a little pale, though he's a little farther away.
　Maybe he is the one in charge of the pyramid under construction.

They completed the 90% completed pyramid and used its magic to make a hole in the Gypseal's wards. As a result, the power of the warding covering the Gypseal has been reduced by half. Thanks to this, the snakes are now running rampant in the Gipsyre. It's a shame.

　Well, now we know why Dahak and his men were there.

"So here's what we have to do. I want you to retake the pyramid. If not, I want you to take back that pyramid and destroy it. You can trade it for Bruul's poison.

　Sekmetra finally says that and points her wand at me.
　I see, you know that we came to Arnak for some purpose when you heard from Mart.
　So Sekhmetra thought about letting us deal with the pyramid that was taken from us.
　Bruul must have known the intention when he left the decision to Sekmetra.
　What an utter mess!
　I can't believe I'm being asked to do this, this awkward thing.
　That means we've been caught up in a conflict between Gypseal and Apophis.

'All right! I'll take you up on that offer!

　Rage replies, as he should.
　It's to help you and Cyrone. You don't have much of a choice.

'I don't blame you. ...... Of course you're going to help me with this, Goddess Tona.'

　I let out a sigh and look at Totoona.

'I know. I have to help your brother too.

　Totoona then looks at Mejed, who is behind her.
　Mejed bobs his head.
　It's as if he's telling her to leave it to him.
　It seems that this Mejed (a freak) is also coming.

I'll be waiting! Totonas are going too? Danger! There are so many scary things out there!

　Suddenly Nell, who was behind Sekmetra, screams out loud.
　She's worried that her best friend is going somewhere dangerous.
　As far as the myth of Tona is concerned, she's not cut out for a fight.
　I can see why she's worried.

'It's okay! Nell! I have a strong ally on my side! I believe in his power!

　The people around me groaned at his words.
　Me too oh! I'm surprised.
　I didn't expect her to have so much faith in Rage.

'Thank you. Tona. I'm glad you trust me that much.

　Rage thanks Totoona for her help.
　But for some reason, Totona makes a strange face.

''Hmph! This is the one! Well, tonight, let's go with the preliminaries! Liquor! Bring me liquor and meat, then!

　Sekmetra's laughter echoed through the room.

✦The one who strikes down (Medjed) Kroki

　Myself and Totona were led by Nell to Nell's room in Arnak.
　By now, a feast is probably being prepared among the kings.
　But we did not attend it ourselves. They were to have a small banquet separately in Nell's room.
　This was something that Totoona had suggested for her own inconvenience in her Medjed outfit.
　Soon, we come to a door with many cute cats painted on it.
　Could this be Nell's room?

Welcome home. Princess.

　Huh? I hear voices from somewhere.
　I look down the gate and see two cats standing on two legs, one on either side, holding small spears.
　They may be the gatekeepers guarding Nell's room.
　From the way they stand on two legs and talk, this cat must be a fairy cat (Ketsey).
　Gypsies are said to be the origin of cats in this world.
　It's not surprising that there is a fairy cat (Ketsey).

'I'm home. Everyone.

　Nell says, and the gatekeeper's cat opens the gate.
　The gate seems to be so light that even a cat's hand can open it.

'And by the way? Tona. Are you sure you're okay? I hear the Snake Prince is very dangerous.

　Nell asks anxiously as she enters the room.
　Princess Nelfithi is the child of God Haybos and Sekmetra, the lion queen.
　It seems that Sekhmetra, who started looking at God Heybos, pestered her and they became a married couple.
　Only the lion queen is very carnivorous, I think.
　And Totoona and Nell became best friends once when Nell went to visit her father, the god Haybos, and got lost in Elios.
　She happened to meet Totona at that time and she saved him and they became best friends.
　They seem to be very close.

It's okay. Nell. I have him right here.

　Then Tona looks at me.
　I feel like she trusts me very much.
　This will be the only thing Totona will have to protect anymore, no matter what.
　And it's also to save Shilohne. I have my own reasons for fighting.

By the way, I've been wondering about you for a while now. What's this interesting thing?

　Nell points to herself.
　Tona looks at herself.
　It's like she's asking if she can teach you.
　Naturally, I shake my head.
　If Tona trusts him, I'll trust him.

"This is Kroki. "This is Kroki, he calls himself Medjed when he wears the cloth. He is the Dark Knight of Nargol, who has defeated the Brave Man of Light and Alfos. He has nothing to fear from the serpent prince.

　Tona introduces herself with a huff and a slight turn of her chest.
　Why is that? He sounds a little proud.
　Nell rolls her eyes.

'You beat that strongest Alfoss, nyah nyah nyah ....... Surely that might work for you, nyah.'

　Nell looks at herself sullenly.
　It's embarrassing to be seen that much.

'Kroki. You can talk here, and you can take the cloth off.

　I'm relieved by Tona's words.
　He couldn't even speak in front of Rage and the others. He could only express his intentions with his whole body, such as shaking his body.
　From the side, it would have looked like he was just shaking his hips.
　Besides, it was very difficult to move and it was hard to breathe.
　I decide to take the cloth myself.

'Huh~. It was very hard to breathe. Tona.

　Remove the white cloth and enjoy the feeling of freedom.
　Huh? For some reason, Tona and Nell's eyes are on their own lower bodies.
　They look at their own lower bodies.
　That's when I notice something outrageous.

　Sheesh... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot I wasn't wearing anything underneath.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

　But I've already late exposed my own crotch to Totona and Nell.

'Hoe~. I've seen Hal's when he was little, but the shape is completely different~. Could it be that they are very impressive? Tonaan?

　Nell looks at her with interest, then looks at Totona.
　But Totona doesn't respond.
　Her expression has not changed in any way. She is just staring at her crotch.
　Hurriedly, I hide my crotch.

''Um~. Tona. This is that .......

　I have to excuse myself somehow. Otherwise, he's just a pervert.

Tonaan? What's the matter with you?

　Nell calls out to Totona with concern.
　Come to think of it, there's something wrong with Totona.
　That was the moment I thought that.
　Tona falls backwards.

'Wha? Watch out!

　I rush to support Tona before she hits the floor.
　Apparently, she's passed out.
　Was her own crotch that much of a shock to her?

'Totnerooooooo! Get a grip!

　Nell's screams were a wooden spirit in the room.
