What woke him up from his sleep - Gamma Dia-Roston - was a stinging tension in his skin.


............?　

　When he woke up and raised his upper body, the next thing he felt was a sense of discomfort.
　A sense of discomfort and tension covered the entire interior, as if the tent he had just slept in had turned into a completely different dimension.

　There's something about ......?

"Who's ......?

　Unknowingly reaching for the sword by the bedside, such a vague thought led to a who-what-is-it?



"--hey ...... notice that?



　He appeared out of the blue.

　As if oozing from the darkness, a wavering figure appeared.
　The s*x is male. His hair is jet black. He has a red eye and dragon-like wings sprouting from his back. Its race is probably demonic.

　Its features are the same as the beings that were reported to have attacked the city of Alfilo--

"You are--

"Don't scream, I'll kill you.

　The moment the man of the demon tribe said that, a pressure as if the space itself had a weight, assaulted Gamutia's whole body.
　A dense demonic atmosphere emanates from the man's body and undermines Gamutia's psyche, as if he were to lose consciousness in an instant if he were to lose his mind even for a moment.

　A cold sweat runs down your cheek.

　When the man saw that we were silent, he began to speak to Gamutia in a one-sided manner.



　He apparently just came to warn her.
　When he said what he wanted to say, he disappeared into the darkness again.

　As soon as the demon man was gone, Gamutia's body took a deep breath of its own accord, as if she remembered to breathe now.

　It's scary.

　I honestly thought so. That was no match for me.

　Perhaps if we attacked it with all the soldiers here, it would only kill us all.

............

　The purpose of this expedition was ostensibly to defeat the demons that attacked us and the demons that seemed to be controlling them. --And its real purpose is to confirm the natural resources that exist in the forest of the demon world.
　In short, to gain new frontier land, you are asked to do the preliminary research. The ostensible reason for this is to prevent annoying interruptions.

　When I was first ordered to join the army for that purpose, I thought it was a joke.

　The forest of the magical land is the home of powerful demons, and no matter how good their magical tools are, the moment something goes wrong with them, it's obvious that they will be devastated.

　Moreover, at the top of the ecosystem of the magical forest is his famous dragon, which is so famous that there is no need to talk about it. If you turn against it, you'll be beyond devastated. It would literally destroy the country.

　And yet, the story is being pushed forward at the top, and the unit led by Gamutia has also decided to join the war.
　But the one appointed as commander-in-chief is some foolish nobleman who, dazzled by the huge amount of money, came all the way to the front.

　It's truly ridiculous.

　Now I can understand why the lord of the city of Alfilo was so vehemently opposed to this expedition and insisted on not getting involved in it at all.

　...... I have to go to that foolish nobleman right now and withdraw my troops.

　If I do that, I might get fired from the army.

　But that's fine with me.
　I was against this expedition. It is absolutely wrong to let our men die in this senseless battle.

　I'm not sure if you will be able to accept your request for withdrawal since there are interests at stake,...... but I must somehow let my men live.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the marketplace.
