After defeating the demon army unleashed by King's Landing.
　We were accepted into the revolutionary army and a small banquet was held.


"I'm sorry I aroused your suspicion.


　At the banquet, Aurelian's brother Riley bowed.

Don't worry about it. It's wartime, isn't it?　You can't help but be cautious.

　I said to him.

　After we took out that horde of demons, we were able to let our guard down.
　If it wasn't for me, the Revolutionary Army would have been destroyed. I guess that's what won their trust.

　Besides, ...... if we were from the side of King's Landing, we wouldn't have the advantage of defeating the demons there.
　And even if we did have some idea of what we were doing, we didn't want to antagonize someone who could defeat a horde of three hundred demons.

I'm glad you said that.

　Riley held up his cup to me.

I'm glad you said that," Riley said, raising his cup to me, "because today we're going to drink and eat and celebrate the fact that we've met a great comrade. We're at war, though, so it'll be a simple meal.
"No, thank you.

　I made a toast to Riley.

"Kurt, I'm going around in circles!

　Then Lara wobbled over and put her hand on my shoulder.

"Lara, have you been drinking?
"Hmm?

　Lara shook her head when I asked the question.

Lara shook her head. "No, I didn't, but I could smell the ...... alcohol. I wasn't drinking, but I could smell the alcohol and it kind of turned my head.
"...... Well. Maybe you should lie down for a while.
"Mmm.

　Lara lays down on the floor with my lap as a pillow.

What are you doing?
Knee pillow.

　Lara continues to rub her cheek against my lap.

　Lara rubs her cheek against my knee. ...... I'll let her do what she wants.

Lara has a weakness for ...... alcohol.

　Next to her, Cynthia was sipping on a glass of grape juice.

That's right. I think I could get drunk on a keg of this stuff.
The only people who don't get ...... drunk from drinking that stuff are dragons. Most people would ...... die.

　I don't like to drink much from my previous life. But that doesn't mean I can't drink.
　In a previous life, I drank a drink the volume of a mountain and went hunting for dragons.
　For the sake of training, I dared to play the game with restraints.

　While I was thinking about this, I was also drinking grape juice.


"Hey, hey!　You're a ...... child. And I don't like that you're making out with a girl!


　And I don't like you flirting with a girl!" A huge man came up to me.

"Hey, Dirk, ...... stop it. He's a hero for saving our lives, you know?

　Immediately, people gathered around the man ...... to try to stop Dirk.

　But the Dirk flailed his arms around and then said.

"Huh!　I don't care if he's a hero or not, it makes me sick to see him making out with a woman!

　I don't care if you're a hero or not.

　The force of his arm blew away the people around him who had tried to stop him.

"You're drunk.

　I looked at Dirk and saw that he had a mug of ale in his hand.
　A closer look revealed that he was staggering on his feet.
　He's a bad drunk.

"Hey, ...... you!

　Dirk's tongue isn't rolling.

Get the hell away from her. Get the hell away from her, or my fist will explode.
I didn't approach Lara. I didn't approach Lara. She came to me. I didn't approach Lara. Lara spoiled me. Isn't it weird that she wants me to leave?
"Shut up!

　As I said, Dirk's fist flew at me.

"Hmm.

　I caught it, twisted, and slammed it into the ground.

"Yuck!

　Dirk screams like a crushed frog.
　I use gravity magic on it.
　I use gravity magic on it and pull it back into my hand.
　Of course, not even a drop of ale spilled from the mug.
　It's a precious wartime drink. I can't let it go to waste here.

Don't do anything that might spoil it. I'm confiscating this drink. You can chill out there for a while.



　As I continued, there were cheers from the people around me.

　.

　The party was getting lively.
　But there was no sign of Riley.

"Kurt, where are you going ......?
Kurt, where are you going ?" "Nothing, I'm just going to enjoy the night air.

　I said to Cynthia and went outside to look for Riley.

　I was able to find Riley quickly, though.

"Riley, you're here?

　"Riley, there you are!" There she was, looking up at the dark sky in the night breeze.

"Kurt?

　Riley turns around.

Is the party over yet?
No, it's been a long night. Everyone's still in there making noise.
Then why?
I wanted to talk to Riley. That's why I came out here.

　For a moment, Riley looked surprised.

　But soon after.

"Oh, yeah? I just wanted to talk to you, too.

　She said, looking away from me.

　Why are you looking away?
　And your earlobes are getting red.

"Um, ......, Riley, can I ask you one question first?
That's odd. I'd like to ask Kurt one too.

　Face to face.

We'll say it at the same time.
Let's do it.

　We stare at each other, and I say.


"Why are you hiding the fact that you're a woman?
"I am a woman.


　I'm a woman.

"You've been aware of that ......?
Yeah, from the start.

　He felt uncomfortable from the moment he saw Riley, and when he read the surface of his memory, his gender was confirmed.
　Aurelian the Fool's brother ...... or should I say sister Riley. The heroic revolutionary was a woman.

I don't like to hide it either. I'm not hiding it like I want to, but there are people who lick me because I'm a woman. It's more convenient for me to be a man.

　Riley said with a pout on his lips.

　We're in Aurelian's demon mind.
　Therefore, if he truly believes it, he can alter the facts.

　So could Riley's gender be a result of that alteration?

　...... No, that's unlikely. Because I don't see the need to do so.
　So it is more natural to think that Riley, who was reported to be a man ...... until later generations, was actually a woman.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I thought you'd deny it when I asked you.
"Because I trust Kurt.

　Riley stares at me, his eyes tight.

No, ...... I have to trust him, I guess you could say. My revolutionary army is overwhelmed. We're losing ground. If we continue like this, we could be pushed around by the Royal Army at any moment.

　The Revolutionary Army is being overwhelmed.

　The Revolutionary Army has been winning at a breakneck pace and has destroyed the Royal Army, according to the official history.
　In addition to the fact that the Revolutionary Army is based in an abandoned village, Riley and his friends seem to be being hunted down by a large number of demons.
　This means that little by little, Aurelian is beginning to think that he can defeat Riley and the Revolutionary Army,.......

　But.

"Don't worry. I have to defeat Aurelian for a reason. I'll help you.
"......!　Thank you. I know this may sound like a good idea, but I've felt something for you since I saw you defeat the Royal Army today.

　Riley's voice was slurred.

I want to defeat that king with my own hands. That's what a brother ...... or sister is supposed to do. But ......!

　Riley put her hands on her hips and drew her sword from its scabbard.

If I can't do it,......, I'll leave this sword to Kurt. I want you to use this sword to defeat the Fool King.
I'll do whatever you ask.

　Of course, it would be better for Riley to defeat Aurelian himself.
　Because Aurelian will give up if we go back to history. That way, the demonic core will disappear without a hitch.



　I look at Riley's sword and begin to analyze it.

"That's quite a sword.
"You know what? It's a sword made of magic stone. It's called the Shelves.

　It's only in Aurelian's magical mind, but ...... this is the world 500 years ago.
　I'm sure it's in the middle of the decline of magical civilization caused by the Phombasque.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where by and how to use it, you can call us at the web site.

We'd better get back. If we're not here, the others might come looking for us.
"Yeah.

　I replied and started to walk back into the building where Riley and I were having a party next to each other.

　But on the way she stopped.

"Kurt, can I ask you one more question?
"What?
Where did you come from, Kurt?　No, you don't have to force me to talk. There's a lot of things you don't want to ...... talk about in this day and age.

　Oh, really?
　Feeling a bit out of sorts, I said.

"Would you believe me if I told you that ...... would start in 500 years?
Haha. What's that? Don't lie to me.

　Riley laughed it off.
