"Vilm~, I'm done with this one.

"Brother Vee, sorry I'm late.

A short time after Oma fainted and Virum had unraveled his fusion with Radia, Hinori, who had flown in from the west, and Fumir, who had run from the valley to the south, joined them.

''Good job, both of you. We're almost done here too.''

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm going to be able to help you with your own personal and professional development.

It's not just a simple ore, but an uncanny pebble that reflects a reddish-black light.

''What's that? The color is very, very creepy...

It seems that the stone was used to control them. Just before the boy came to his senses, he felt something crushed, and that's how he found this. This is the information that Vilbo got from that man, Dylan. There is no doubt about it.

The effect of the pebble is not only on the human Virum, but also on the spirits who were involved in the recovery, so there must be some other condition for the state of brainwashing.

And Dylan, from whom Virum heard the information, was ... lying in a tattered state.

''Well...''

Oh, gulp.

Dylan, who was no longer able to free his body and could only move his eyes, showed a clear feeling of fear as soon as his gaze caught Virum's.

''I kept you alive in case the information you spit out was a lie... but it looks like you won't need it anymore.

Wait. Wait. This is only what Lady Rosalia wanted. I won't let anything happen to you anymore. But I won't let you get away with it anymore.

Dylan began to breathlessly beg for his life, but there was no way for such a thing to get through to Virum, and he was going to die from a crushed cervical vertebrae.

I see. That Rosalia guy is the mastermind behind this one?

"Vilm, about that, isn't it?

The name of the ringleader was found out, and Hinori began to share the information he himself had seen and heard on the Western Front.

That there were multiple magic tools, that all the items brought in this time were only prototypes, that Shazar's help was there, and that the master of the Rastafarian Adventurer's Guild was the enemy.

'I see. So Shazar made the move.

"Yes, you've met the right person.

(I'm still going to keep the a-(a)re that Shazar brought to me a secret~)

Against Hinori, who had neutralized the advancing Rastafarian army and was able to afford it, Virum still had a sharp expression on his face and was still tensing his thoughts.

''... Since the existence of the village has been leaked, we don't know who will come after the spirits (all of them) at any time. We should retaliate exactly what will happen if they turn us into their enemies here. Fortunately, this time we have a witness named Shazar, so there's little chance of us being viewed as enemies.

With the exception of a few, from the information gathered, Virum, who guessed that the main culprit was in the Rastafarian Empress and the Adventurer's Guild in that country, decided to retaliate massively against this attack.

''Sister Hinori, sister Dia, Fu, I'm sorry for being so tired, but I want you to stay with me a little longer. If I do, I'll do it thoroughly.

'I won't stop you this time. I'm mad at you too.

"I'm on it. It's been a while since we've been on the stage. Let's go kick some ass.

Hmm. I'll be thorough.

The three spirit beast sisters already seem to be in the mood for it, Hinori's hair shakes like a flame despite her calm expression, Radia's long tongue chirps with a ferocious smile, and Fumir's body hairs all over her body stand upside down.

It would be natural for her to be furious with the Rastafarian Empire that invaded for the purpose of spirits (family).

''Sister Shi, can you ask for Mel and the others?''

'Yes, of course. "Yes, of course. You risked your life to protect us. I'm glad to be in charge.

Siyu gladly accepted Wyrm's request and picked up a pleasantly sleeping Cunaria.

Meldina was carried like a palanquin by dozens of spirits under Miselio's command, and Hyshela was accompanied by a few spirits as she became smaller.

''...Also, those who were enslaved.''

'Hmph, hmph. Hey Virum, do you see the reluctance on your face?'

I'm not sure if the sultry puffiness is funny or not, which is unusual for Wyrm, but Sheil blurts out.

'Of course. If Mel and Kuna hadn't asked me to help them, I wouldn't have wanted to.

"So be it. Well, we'll take care of our side. Go out on a limb.

The four people who were sent off by Sheil and the others looked at each other and nodded to each other, and then disappeared from the scene with terrific speed.

It had been about half a day since they left the Forest of Demon Mist.

Vilm and the others had already reached the territory of the Rustabelle Empress.

Considering that it had taken more than ten days for the Rastabelle army to reach the Demon Fog Forest, it would be an unusual thing to do.

Hinori flew in the sky with a crisp flight, befitting the name of a hawk.

Radia is moving on the surface of the earth in the direction of travel and gaining further acceleration by running above it.

Fumir continues to run as if this were the norm, dispersing shockwaves as he continues to run without a care in the world.

And Vilm, who is a human, was demonstrating a speed equal to theirs with the physical enhancements that had been sparingly poured into his enormous magical power.

Shortly afterwards, Virum and his friends arrived at the Rastabel Empire, the invaders' home base, and were surprised by an unexpected event.

''What... what's going on here?''

What was there was the ruined castle of Rustabelle and its city.
