He cleaves the enemy in front of him to the side and knocks him down. The sound of the enemy's fall is heard, and a new enemy notices us, but before he can act, he is sunk without a sound by a black shadow.

He is now invading the imperial territory while communicating with Peter in party conversation. Leo is also in the same area, but I lost him early, so I don't know what he is doing, only hearing his voice.

　After half of the event days, the isle and the empire entered into a full-scale battle. It seemed that the player had opened the battle by suicide attack, but sooner or later the people around wanted to get into the battle as soon as possible, so he was not blamed for that for a long time.

　Before the big battle, clans that had never been heard of before were gathering information and were conspicuous in their leadership of the production clans, combat clans, and the assignment of individuals by job. However, once the war started, the players who stood out were those who were used to fighting in the strategy and arena, and those who were used to fighting against others. In the battles that I observed and participated in, Roy and the Flame Kings were unleashing their skills with flamboyance.

　Ochazuke, who is a healer, is participating in the large-scale battle, and Shin is there with Ochazuke. Some battles are fought by clans like [Retsubi] at the Flame King's place, but basically, regardless of the clan, the shields are maintaining the front line, attackers are rampaging, and the healers are pushing the empire slowly from the rear by sending out recovery attacks.

　There are some clans that are cooperating with Isle, but in the end, most of the gentiles have entered the battle quickly. Naturally, the Isle has also sent out troops, but the participation of the residents is not yet in full swing.

　Galahad had said that they would wait and see how the Gentiles would do before leaving, so they were ready, but they were probably planning to join the battle in earnest after gathering information on how strong the Gentiles and the Empire were, respectively.

　After a while after the battle, the production workers are expected to play a major role in the supply and other tasks. There are already several supply stations and other places where they can replenish recovery medicines, rest, eat, and recover. The clan that was in charge before the battle is arranging these things.

　I thought that it is important to have people who can do backstage and administrative work, and I, who would stand out in any group, accepted Peter's invitation to assassinate a key figure of the empire behind the frontal clash. It was a job - not exactly a job for the assassin's guild - to gather information and assassinate a reclusive nobleman who seemed to have a core that would keep him out of battle.

　If a soldier deposits a knight and the knight deposits a king, the dead knight or soldier will not be resurrected if the king is defeated. Defeating the knight does not affect the king, but it takes longer to revive the soldier. The player will be resurrected, but his status will be reduced for a longer period of time.

　The information is passed to the clan that is working behind the scenes, and the clan receives the information of the person who might have the core and the treasure instead. I learned from participating in this event that there are players whose occupation is "thief".

　It seems that they are also distributing information on the person in question to players who are looking for skill stones, and the people behind the scenes are quite scary and I don't want to make enemies with them. I thought it was a clan belonging to the Thieves' Guild of Fast, but I was told that it belongs to the Temple. ....... I wonder if High Priestess Kyle or Lady Ekaterina is involved, it is too disturbing.

　I'm moving around the empire under the high alert, hiding in plain sight, because a light ball was shot up when I entered the city with . Peter's didn't get any response, so it seems that a full-fledged assassin or a secret agent can get past the surveillance.

You have to go on your way while keeping your eyes on the guards, but there are also traps here and there that look like sensors. When a non-Emperor is caught in one of these traps, it explodes, makes a loud noise, or raises a ball of light, which is then detected by the enemies.

　It's too much trouble to react to them and cut down the enemies that come out of the trap.　While I was thinking about such disturbing thoughts, there was a loud explosion a short distance away.

And then I hear Leo's voice.

　Oh, yeah. You fell for it, didn't you?　Well, if you fall for it, other people will think you're falling for it or something. ....... There are a lot of other players who chose this guerrilla warfare approach instead of the big, flashy battles. Leo's behavior made me think twice about taking this seriously, but it's too much trouble!

I'm holding back because I'm afraid I'll get a grudge if I clear the empire now that things are certainly heating up. I'm going to clear the land once and for all. ......

With Leo's shout, flares and alarms go off one after another in the alley.

　Since then, I have experienced a tearful farewell as the Prime Minister was taken in by Yuni-chan, and in my desperation, I have been working hard with Peter in the assassination business.

　The Prime Minister was taken in as a cat without having his curse lifted.

　At the general store, he asked me if I wanted to leave him as a cat, but I thought it would be bad for him to stand out by turning him back into a person since I was hiding him.　I remember that everyone stared at me for some reason when I answered in the usual way. Even Lapidus. The following is my recollection of my efforts to break the curse.

"Isn't it because I'm a cat? ......"

Eagle and Galahad looked very caught off guard by my words.

Lapidus nodded his head in agreement with Noel's words.

At the end, Cal's gaze swam unusually.

"Wait a minute, you all thought I was leaving the cat alone to behave!"

That's because Black is on the island with his friends, and White would be scolded for calling him out of battle, and it would be a scam to think that the battle would be without experience after the event, and there are not enough fluffy ingredients!

"Lord ....... If it's okay with me."

　The fact that Tamamo is already in the empire is almost a definite fact that is spreading around, and perhaps there is someone here besides Prime Minister Alone who knows about the << 鵺鵺> that Merlin or Tamamo tried to hide. Galahad and the others are of the opinion that if someone knew what else the Prime Minister knows, that is, if someone knew about the censer that holds the 鵺, the Prime Minister would no longer be targeted, or the targets would be dispersed.

　So, in order to break the vizier's curse, we prepare . The vizier on his knees, of course, listens to what is said, and when the water is held out in front of him, he stretches himself and begins to drink.

　Yuni-chan said that she switched the curse, but it would be a problem if the mortality curse comes back as soon as she changed from a cat to a human, but now she is in the middle of an event. It would be a problem if the curse of death comes back as soon as she turns from a cat to a person, but we are in the middle of an event now.

"Because that's Homura's fault, isn't it?"

I gave my honest opinion, and Galahad looked at me.

"Even in the temple, you were wondering if you should be thankful for it. ......"

"Normally," High Priest Kyle was unusually cryptic, "they would be placed in a consecrated vial and kept in their proper place."

I'll pretend I didn't hear Camilla and Eagle.

　So Galahad went first. He didn't want to do it, but he was reluctant to do so after Kalu hit him with an iron claw.

　Next was Camilla, who told me to fix my mouth after the trial, and then she smoozed me.

"Can't we just have a regular kiss?"

"After all, isn't this kind of thing based on the assumption that you have deep feelings for the subject?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Prime Minister looked disgusted but did not run away, so it seems that he wants to be a person again even if he has to endure the kiss. He is now washing his face vigorously with his paws, still in the form of a cat.

"Like an old love interest?　I'm not the uptight Alone Vizier."

Perhaps remembering the vizier's usual demeanor and a woman close to him, Galahad, with his eyes still upward, quickly denies his own words to himself.

"Well, I'm sure Yuni will take care of it, whether by leaving it with someone easy to disarm or whatever. Let's leave it like this for now."

We don't want to accidentally unravel the spell here and then find out how to do it and not be able to unravel it after the event is over.

I denied Lapidus' words with a straight face, but the stares from those around me hurt.
