--After changing into formal wear and separating from Nell and the others.

　I jumped into the middle of the intruders who were trying to sneak into the castle grounds.

Oraaah!

　They had been hiding and watching, when I suddenly appeared at the place where they were watching, and all the people there were horrified, but I didn't care, I grabbed the closest one's skull and slammed it into another one.

"Cafff--

What, what are you?

　Kick one of the shaken intruders in the abdomen, and then click another one up with a Shoryuken-esque uppercut and blow him away.

"d*mn it!

　Some of the intruders finally moved and pulled their swords from their waists and swung at you, but due to the disparity in their status, they were in a state of evasion, so they twisted around and ducked all the attacks, punching and kicking the enemy's swords with only their body techniques, and then attacked and neutralized them when their weapons were broken and they were stunned again. I do.

"You know what you're doing--

"Shut up! I don't have time to deal with you guys!

"Guhaw--?

　Halfway through, the man who seemed to be the platoon leader of the last remaining group was interrupted by a skewered kick to the face, which made him bury his head in the wall -- the group of intruders had been decimated in less than a few minutes.


　--The group of intruders had been decimated in less than a few minutes.


...... mask, it's getting rough.

　I turned at the sound of a wry smile - and there was a woman who led the troops.

　Carotta-Demeyer.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

...... my wife was picked up at the convention. I've got to get out there and protect her from all those idiots who are trying to get at her.

You say it as if you are watching . When I say wife, you mean ...... Nell. I'm curious, when did you guys get together like that?

I've been through a lot.

"...... various?

　The knight-errant leader smiles funny.

"But if you're over here, I guess it's over, too.

Oh. At the place you showed me, unaware of the trap (・・・・・・), the dumb ones gathered. We've got them all.

Then it's the rest of the people in the castle. Let's get this over with and get to Nell.

I agree. I will not tolerate anyone who goes against her.

　Then the female knight commander and I looked at each other and smiled ferociously at each other.



　--I'm currently working with some people in the church.

　There weren't that many people inside the church who were trying to set up Nell.
　Further investigation revealed that the enemy inside the Church was the cardinal I overheard and another cardinal who was a friend of his. And his subordinates, the Holy Knights of the Holy Order, separate from the Carrotta's group.

　It is a relief to see that the Church as a whole is still on Nell's side.

　The only reason for this is because we didn't know how far these d*mn cardinals were reaching out to us, so we didn't rely on them as allies: ...... It was this female knight commander who appeared.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going to be the best way to get the most out of your time and money.
　But a little while later, she finished her work and came back to the capital at the right time to contact me, and I asked for her help.

　She replied immediately and assured me that she wouldn't let the old men and women of the church do whatever they wanted to do, and she was actually very capable of identifying friend and foe within the church and getting control of her side in the blink of an eye. 　
　Thanks to her, I didn't have to worry about the movements of the church, and to this day, she's still leading the Holy Order to help me.

　What they are doing is to help me eliminate the bandits that have appeared simultaneously in several important facilities in the capital.
　And arrest the soldiers (・・・・・・・) who are going to capture the bandits (・・・・・・).

　In other words, stop the match-pump.

　The bandits are hired for money, they cause a ruckus, and then the enemy's breathing squad catches them.

　Well, the bandits, it seems, are the country's soldiers.
　It seems that most of the troops were on the prince's side during the last crisis, so after the king regained power, they were not blamed, but were treated coldly by the people around them, and their dissatisfaction seemed to be building up.

　That's probably what got his attention. I don't know the details, but some kind of secret agreement was made before we came to the capital, and they are working as the culprit.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about them by visiting their website. ...... Apparently they don't realize that they are being used as pawns in a match-pump, so if the enemy's plan progresses, they'll probably kill all of them to keep their mouths shut.
　You're relying on the wrong person.

　The enemy's intention of taking such action is that this time the brave man - Nell will attend the ball held in the castle and end it all behind the scenes while he is carefree.

　The brave men couldn't put down the noise, but they smelled the danger to the country and put it down. That's the story.

　In a country where insecurity seems to be rampant, the last thing the country needs is a strong man. The reason for the public's condemnation of Nell is because the people don't know her abilities and they are worried about her.
　You will be able to find a lot of people who are not able to get a hold of you, and you will be able to find a lot of people who are not able to get a hold of you, and you will be able to find a lot of people who are not able to get a hold of you. They would want an excuse to strongly criticize such an opponent.

　Had they succeeded, they would certainly have made Nell even weaker than she is now, and things would have gone according to the enemy's wishes.

　--If they had succeeded.

"But you are a terrible man, Mask.

"Huh?　What's that?

　You'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

You're not only good at what you do, but you also have the ability to gather information as if you know everything. You're the only one who moves, right?

"Ah, ......, well, yeah.

　I know you said it was as if you could see everything, but I know because I've actually seen it all .
　Evil Eye, Evil Year, and myself snuck in .

　Recently, when I was working behind the scenes with Nell teaching me etiquette and Princess and En insisting that I play house, I was laughing and gathering information behind the scenes as she prepared a plan without realizing that I was watching her.
　Wow, you just told me your plans right in front of me. Don't underestimate the demon king's covert skills.

　I've been wondering what to do since the king's guards were busy guarding the castle and guarding the king.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. You should be able to do that.

A brave squire, you mean, in real life or not? No matter what the entity is, right?



"Well,

　I cowered at Carlotta with a grin and said that with a grin.

Oops. The guards have noticed the men who have entered and have begun to fight. A little behind them, the enemy's protégés are waiting for the right moment to come to their rescue. We'll join them in pretending we didn't see them.

Yeah, all right. --You heard that, boys. All but the Kingsguard are enemies. Kick them out!

"Oye!

　The members of the Holy Order under Carotta's command - Nell's colleagues - raised their weapons, looking so spirited that you could feel the heat beside them.


　　　* * * *


"-- there he is!

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been caught off guard.

　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal belongings.

　Perhaps another guard will rush in and subdue them without our assistance.

It's up to you, knight-errant, to cover the guards.

"Got it!　How about you?

I'm going to punish all those idiots who think they're unaware of what they're doing by coming up with a new set of mockery--!

　As soon as I say it, I head backwards a bit from where the guards are fighting, and in their blind spot (・・・・・・), I first launch a flying knee kick into the empty space (・・・・・・).
　And then, grabbing the empty space as well, I turn my arm around to swing it around in a circle.

　Perhaps from the side, I'd look like a dangerous guy flying and bouncing around by myself - but the scene seen by me, who has magical eyes, is different.

"Hahahahahahahaha, you idiots!　I don't know what you guys look like!

"Kochitz, look--!

　With a high-pitched grin from the demon king, I let go of the empty space I'd grabbed - the man's feet (・・・・・・・・・) - and flung him toward the group of enemies, probably because of the large movement I'd made in response to or to avoid my attack.

　I think it's because he moved significantly to receive or avoid my attack. The magic seems to have been broken, and soldiers suddenly appear on all sides, weapons drawn and released toward you.

　I defeated ...... about a third of them.
　I was going to drop half of them right now.

You're ...... a brave squire, aren't you?

　So says the head of the group, a suspicious fellow hiding his face in a helmet.
　Judging by his voice, he's a middle-aged man.

　Well, even if he's hiding his face, I already know who this guy is from prior information gathering.
　It's the guy from the Stampede, Argos-Radrio's guy.

Oh, you're well informed. Yes, I'm a loyal servant of the hero. That's why I'm here to punish the bad guys, not as a man of justice, but as a man of justice.

"Justice?　Then it would be unbecoming of you to attack us when you see the castle under attack and come to our rescue.

"You say that!　You've been waiting for the right moment to be here, even after the bandits started attacking!

"You're wrong, what are you basing this on? If you're going to be even more hostile to us, you'll be joining these insurgents in a fight.

　He started to talk, but since I knew he was guilty, I ignored him and punched him in the face and started attacking the others.

You!

"Cowardly, is that what a brave fellow does?

"Sneaky, nice words. Thank you.　

　When they see me start attacking, they seem to have been trained, and they react instantly and begin to intercept the enemy group ...... weak weak weak weak. They are even weaker than the goblins of the forest.

　You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I've been trained in the safety technique and the playfulness technique against girls, so I can adjust my strength to suit my needs.
　I'm well versed in attacking the enemy's consciousness with such power. I can now give an eggshell an exquisite jolt and break it cleanly.

　Huh, in the dungeon, it's my turn to break the eggs: .......
　Call me the Demon King of the Egg Crackers.

Okay, that's it. The female knight commander is ......

　Hmmm. ...... I'll leave the outside cleanup to you.
　I'm sure she'll have it all under control.

　After clearing the soldiers around me, I grabbed the edge of the armor of the enemy commander, an important person, and dragged him along with me toward the castle where Nell and the others were.
