As I stepped out of the magic circle with a rumbling neck, the sorcerers on all sides unleashed their attack magic at once.
　Firebombing, icing, stone bombs, and electric shock.
　Magic flying from completely different directions.

''Shakashite.''

　All of this bounced back to the surgeon with a single spinning kick.
　The robes all crumble together under their own magic.

　The princess said, "Impossible! I exclaimed.

'Why the wards!　That should seal all the power!
I don't give a shit!

　As a rule of thumb, I felt like if I kicked that place, it would break the wards. It's not a theory.
　I mean, if I wanted to, I could have used cheats and magic within the wards just because it was hard to use them.
　If you're going to block my power, I'm talking about bringing a non-violent realm on par with the Fairy Mart.

''Throw away your lives to prevent it!

　Princess tried to run out of the room at a glance.
　Of course, I've at least read about making an escape move.

''This is how we use the wards,''

　Self-region expansion.

'Abya!'

　The Princess hits an invisible wall that suddenly appears and makes her look like a crushed frog.

'Oh, the princess!'
Protect it at all costs!

　The soldiers come towards me, drawing their swords to fulfill their duties as the Kingsguard.

''You guys, you laughed at the death of a brave man earlier.

　Even if you have a significant other in your family.
　Even if you have a loving lover.
　Even if you have plans to get married next month.
　Even if I didn't really want to laugh, but I was meant to laugh along with the princess.

'That means they all deserve to laugh at their own deaths too, right?

　I was just about to quickly calculate the kill in my brain and get the weapon out of the item box.

''Sacagawea. Let me do these guys!

　With a familiar beautiful female voice, blood gushed out of the soldiers' necks all at once.
　At the center of the falling soldiers was a beautiful woman carrying a jet-black scythe.
　Her name is Cyanne the jet black.

''It's fine. There's probably still a lot of them in the castle anyway.''
"Hun.

　By the way, Sianne has been lurking around me for a long time, making herself invisible.
　It's called the power to control the darkness, and the refraction of light is a chattering matter.

I'm sorry. Help me, help...

　Hmm, we've got a dying man here.
　Looks like he missed his kryptonite by accident, but with all this blood loss, it won't be long.

"There's no mercy for pigs like you.

　Sianne swung her scythe and her head flew off cleanly.
　The lines he's saying are harsh, but I think he's being merciful in the sense that he ended the pain.

　For now, I guess that's all of the princess's escort force is now wiped out.

''By the way, where's Sheephorn-chan?''
There it is.

　An interesting scene was unfolding at Sianne's point of view.

''Ah, gaga...!

　The princess is suspended in midair by Sheephorn, holding her by the neck.
　A stunning one-handed neck hanging tree.

　Sheephorn-chan, who had become invisible together with Sianne's ability, must have heard the entire conversation just now.
　Princess-san is the mastermind who sent the brave man who killed her..........................I would have understood that.
　The summoning of the brave and my summons. Objectively speaking, he was the person who decided on Sheephorn-chan's misfortune.

　You can't see Lamplighter's expression from my position, but I'm sure he's red with rage.
　Now, what lines will he say?
　How dare you send a brave man to me, I wonder?　
　Or maybe it's simply, how dare you kill me?

"Why...?　

　What, is it there?
　That's a bit surprising.

"The princess who said she was in love with you is you!　Why did you trample her feelings!　If you don't know, then listen to me. You owe it to yourself!

　After shouting in one breath to that point, he throws Princess-san down and releases her.
　I feel like the way she speaks is different, but apparently this is like the true nature of Sheep's horn.

''........Keho, Keho!　Oh, what in the world are you........?

　It only took a moment for Sheephorn to ponder Princess's question.

''The Demon King. I'm the Demon King who was defeated by that girl but came back and was almost killed twice by you!

　I deliberately cowered my shoulders as Princess-san stared at me with her eyes wide open in astonishment.

'You lied about defeating the Demon King, idiot. I knew you guys were going to kill me, so of course I teamed up with you.
How dare you do this to me!

　A ray of magic power snatched at the swearing princess's cheek.
　The thing that spilled out with a puff, Princess-san scooped it up with her delicate hand to see what was going on.

''Hee........''

　I gasped as I realized it was my own blood.

'The next time you speak without permission, I will kill you.

　Princess, who had her fingertips pointed at Sheephorn-chan, cried in despair and nodded silently.

''She wasn't a strong and brave person, you know. All of his friends were hurt and he stood up to me alone.

　It was an old story and a confession.
　The story of Sheep's Horn, when she was still the Demon King, before she was killed.
　It was the story of a hero that no one knew but her.

I was so relieved. "I was so relieved. The hero was so much weaker than me. I thought he was going to be killed, but I knew I could survive this easily. I shot the spell over and over again. It was probably easy to kill her, but I wanted to incapacitate her, so I fired a lot of weaker magic. As a result, I think it caused her a lot of pain.
　But she got up. She stood up again and again. I mean, the punches, the kicks, the magic shots, it didn't diminish her at all. It was creepy and very scary, to be honest.

　I suppose so.
　A brave man will stand up again and again until he defeats the demon king.
　It is even possible to keep moving even though you should be dead.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm not sure why they get up so many times. I said, "It would be easier if you just fell down, and I don't want to kill you, so please just be quiet. And what do you think she said?



''There's a girl I like. My favorite princess wanted me to defeat the Demon King, so I can't lose.



When I heard that, I felt like I couldn't beat her. In the next moment, she showed a power that was incomparable to anything she had ever done before, and I was easily defeated.

　It's a brave man's mystery power.
　And that happens a lot.

'Enough. You can go ahead and talk.

　After finishing the narrative, Sheephorn-chan released her stance.
　After listening to all the stories, Princess-san opened her mouth in exasperation.

''........So what?　What do you want me to do?
Apologize.

　Sheephorn-chan's demand was clear.

''Apologize to that girl.''

　Silence falls.
　A long, long silence, followed by crazy laughter.

'Haha. Hahaha. Then what is it?　Do you think because he was thinking of me, it was right for me, a man of high rank, to marry a cattleman?　Hahahahahahahaha!

　The sound of laughter that goes on forever.
　It suddenly stops with a snap.

'It's not a joke,'

　Clink.
　There was the sound of something being chewed off in Princess's mouth.



''That's ... poison. I didn't expect it to harm itself.

　While examining the body of the princess who rolled over spitting up blood with her eyes wide open, Cianne let out an exhale with a bad aftertaste.

''She was a scum woman, but it seems she at least had some pride as a royal...''

　I'm going to speak my mind frankly while putting my hands together with the princess who has gone through the evil.
　I can't forgive you for messing with the brave men, and I was going to kill you anyway.
　I didn't hate the type of person you are, Princess.

'I wonder what her life was all about. She did everything for the man she loved, even to the point of killing me, and now she's being betrayed.

　The most shocked person among us was Sheephorn.
　Hmm, I don't know how to talk to her.
　At times like this, I usually say what I'm thinking.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's nothing more or less than that.

　Even if it is an accidental trip to another world, it is for the convenience of the other world that we are summoned.
　The circumstances of the person being summoned are not taken into consideration.
　In particular, the brave men and women are just slaves ... or devices that are kidnapped for the purpose of saving other worlds.

It's not true. That's not true........

　I can't think of any more words to say to Sheephorn, who repeats the same words.
　Well, it's just that I think so.
　I don't want to force my way of thinking on you.

I'm not going to turn back now that I've gone this far. Is the proxy pledge okay?

　Rather, this is where the real work begins.
　I told Sheephorn-chan to think about it, and I was put on hold.......

''Yes.

　Sheephorn-chan's eyes took on a sharp light.
　It was like that princess-san's attitude had solidified her will.

''Pledge.''

　I will respond to you, so I will sing it out loud.

"Ryouji Kagewosita has teamed up with the Demon King to eliminate the clan of the summoner.

　--Dismissed the summonser's request. Substitute pledges accepted.

　The usual proxy pledge message plays in my head.
　My request was not played.
　It was now impossible to discard the substitute pledge or make another substitute unless it was determined to be completely impossible to accomplish.

'For the record, this pledge includes women and children who don't know the darkness of the kingdom. If you don't want to do it, me and Cianne will take care of it but... what do you want to do?

　Sheep's Corner hesitated slightly at the declaration to kill innocent people as well.
　After all, he is not suited to be a demon king.
　

''I'll do it.

　Even so, Sheephorn-chan nodded.

''Even if I don't know anything about it now, I'm sure he'll be like that princess..................and eventually use the brave.

　Certainly, that princess can be interpreted as a victim who was just following the traditions of the kingdom.
　It's my duty to free her soul from the yoke of evil.

''Well then, shall we go?

　Exactly three hours after I made that declaration.
　An unnamed kingdom disappeared from the map.
