"Do, Dorothy. What's the matter with you running out of nowhere?

　As Dorothy pulls on his hand, he asks her the meaning of her actions.
　Considering that he had been walking slowly, the change was astonishing.

　I can understand that something has happened, but as a mere human being, I can only follow along.

"Oh my God, Richt. I don't know what's going on, but there's someone dangerous approaching. We should go to Mr. Berne for now.

"Hmm?　What's a bad guy?　And Bern's place?

He's just as dangerous as the Demon Lord. Anyway, it's better to protect Bern, right?　Then Richt should go near him.

That's true, but...

　Unusually, Dorothy doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
　She seems to be in a hurry.
　She is heading for Bern at the shortest possible distance while keeping an eye out for approaching enemies and controlling more than a dozen dead spirits at the same time.

　Normally, he would not even be able to answer Licht's question.

Dorothy, I think you should report this to Aria, ......?

I've already done that. I've already done that. It's just that it's through the spirits of the dead, so it might take a while. The Demon Lord might be asleep.

I should've made him improve his lifestyle. ......

　Richt's regret.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

　As Dorothy said, it is more likely that Aria is asleep at this time.
　It would be difficult to assume that Aria would make it in time.

If she's coming all the way to this country, she's after Bern, right?

Probably. Maybe he wants to kidnap the queen and demand something from her.

　And--" Dorothy added.

You're not human, are you, Mr. Berne?　If he is, he's probably aware of what's going on, but ...... he's not going to be able to do anything about it, so we have to do something.

I'm sure you're right. It's a good idea to be aware of what's going on. We can't just fight and resist on our own.

　The story of Richt and Dorothy ends up being about the need to hurry.
　In the first place, even if Bern gathered human soldiers, they wouldn't be enough to drive him back.

　If the enemy really is the Demon Lord, the best course of action is to buy time with Richt and Dorothy and wait for Aria to arrive.

　The two of them continued to run towards Bern's castle, under the gaze of the humans who were still living happily.




"Dorothy!　How much time do we have left?

"The enemy's speed is quite fast, so at this rate, we've got five minutes...

Looks like we made it just in time. ......

　Five minutes left.
　As he listened to the time, Richt finally put his hand on the door of the castle.

　Now that he's here, Bern's location is almost there.
　Relieved that they had made it in time, the two of them started running again.
