The troops stationed at the relay station were in a panic at the shadow coming from far away on the floor in the sky. Although they had made no omissions in their prior operations, they had underestimated the situation.
　In any case, it's not unreasonable since the troops led by a single magician, the pride of 【Krevidito】, were on their way to defeat it.

　There is no hurry to defeat the demons in the vicinity of the base, and smoothly the mages line up in front of the base to wait for the shadows that are coming towards them.

　There is a large cylinder that emits a monstrous silver light was carried there. In addition, the canister that Exeles is holding is a storage device for Fanon's conversion. There are several folded umbrellas inside - so to speak, an umbrella stand.

　The captain stepped out in the center of the squad and caught a clear visual sight of the figure, while at the same time, a subordinate reported that there was a sensing response in the detection equipment.

''Forward, estimated S-rate response!　Type unknown.

　The detection equipment is the same equipment that is regularly used in defense search and rescue operations. Every country has the same ones deployed. For this reason, they are the type that detects with magic power and tend to miss out on low rates.
　But if it's called S-rate, it's not impossible to take care of it on the spot, the thought passed through my mind for a moment, but I looked at the large tube that was erected next to me and let out a sigh.

　Fanon is known as a moody person even within the military, and even the upper echelon is doing everything they can to curry favor with him. This was also evident on the battlefield. The members of the unit have even been told not to be offended.

　This time, they were not thoroughly armed, which is probably why they came back once.

　The number of troops had been greatly reduced as they went, but the captain waited patiently in silence. Sambat Hossen, who was given the command of his company, is a man of medium height and stoutly built when he stands in front of the company due to his combat experience. His rank is Major General and his background is unquestionable. He has just said goodbye to the stubble he forgot to shave because of Fanon's visit. He was so thorough that he even asked one of his subordinates, who was dexterous, to give him a haircut.

　Fanon is in some ways more respected than the head of state. This is the view of some mages that it is the role of the head of state to enrich the country and the role of the mages to save lives.
　As such, they were relative to them with the utmost respect rather than flirtation. They also know that they will reciprocate their respect.

　That's why I'm entrusted with this important base of operations.

　I can make the decision to let go of it at any time, and in case of an emergency, I can bring back information and even if I am attacked from the side by the 【Krevidito】, I can intercept them.
　After all, a major general who had experienced such a battle in the outside world was naturally well versed in Fanon's fighting style. A certainty that is truly befitting of a robust country.

　Probably this time they will be intercepted at the base again, that's why I gathered my troops here. The demons like to prey on humans. Their taste is in magic power. That's why it's a plan to lure them in by concentrating their magic power in this place.
　However, there may have been a problem with them coming across the air like this - mainly like they were in a bad mood.


　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇


　Fanon prepares himself as the relay base gets closer.

'Exeles, give me that one,'
Yes!

　The order of the line running in a straight line is Fanon at the front of the line, with Exeles right behind him.
　Upon being instructed, Exeles immediately inserts his hand into the tube and pulls one out of it. It's the fabric part of the umbrella with no middle bar and handle attached.
　Fanon's parasol-type AWR is designed to be refurbished, and there are only a few folded fabric sections and a framework inside the tube.

　Taking it out dexterously with one hand, Exeles grabs the middle and throws it forward.

　Instead, Fanon pointed the tip of the folded parasol backwards, and the detachable umbrella came off, leaving only the mid-bar and handle neatly inside the tube of Exeles, who was running behind him.

　Then Fanon, who had caught up with him at speed, inserted the middle stick into the folded umbrella and finished converting it with a click and twist.

''I knew this one was a bit heavy too. What if I gain some unwanted muscles?
'I think this is the kind of thing that will help you build muscle in moderation. Master Fanon doesn't need it, but if you're not careful, you'll end up with meat in places you don't need it.

　Ha~ah, Fanon's umbrella, which exhaled as if he had given up, already had no appearance of a parasol, and the white and silver lamellae had managed to form an umbrella.
　There were no dew points, and the diamond shapes were connected along the framework.

　Arriving at the relay base, he spun around once in the air and opened the umbrella just before he landed. Strangely, the wind slammed into the ground and blew through my feet as if escaping.

''Fanon-sama, you're intercepted.
Shit, the idiots will bring you in and you'll be ready to go and you'll be good to go.

　Two pairs of large cylinders to solidify both sides of the sambat.
　This one contained only one tube and a limited number of conversions. Moreover, it had a lid and was locked. A lock that only reacts to Fanon's magic.

''Please don't mess with the sambats.
"...Yes, sir!　Even if I'm wrong.

　Sambat muttered inwardly that his premonition had come true. He was still not in a very good mood. So he was not allowed to object at all.

''Hey~ Exeles~, which one do you prefer?''
''Um~ Master Fanon, the demon is already quite close........''
Oh, what?

　One of his subordinates, who had reported the detection, spoke up as an afterthought. Even Exeles instantly glared at the man.

　Fanon opened his mouth faster than Sambat could hit his men. It was a less than desirable situation, with a sour look on his face that interfered with a pleasant choice of time.

'Well, then you're buying me some time. That's great. Go ahead.........
No, Fanon, it's just that...
Come on in.

　It's a pity that the man is ready for battle, but he regrets his statement and runs off.

''So, which one do you prefer, Exeles?''

　Exeles replied with some dismay at the innocent expression that switched in an instant. Fanon's concern for disrupting her mood was a bit naive when it came to her.
　Besides--.

''Fanon-sama, if you use that thing, the entire relay station area will be obliterated.
Hmmm, do you think?
Yes, I'm sure.

　The banal exchanges were so routine that there was not an ounce of tension in them. The voices were so languid that no one even forgot to interrupt them.
　The back of his subordinate, who had already shown half-hearted bravery, grew smaller and smaller, but at one point he cowered as his silhouette shook to the ground at one point.

　If it was only a magical reaction, it was an S-rate class, and the squad members who knew that, consciously fixed their trembling legs. Single mages are considered to be more than evenly matched with S-rates. That's not an exaggeration or anything like that, it's a fact, but basically leading a squad to defeat them usually, and besides, the odds of defeating them aren't high.
　There is no such thing as an absolute word when dealing with a demon that you don't know what it will do.

　Naturally, the same can be said for Fanon. It hasn't been that long since we defeated S-rate last time, and we are out of luck to fight consecutive battles. I'm also worried about whether I've recovered enough from my fatigue.

　A slender black hull began to appear and disappear from the tops of the trees like a mountain.

''Fanon-sama aaaaah!

　It was Roen who was in the lead. The other members of the squad were attracting him while successfully evading him. It was easy to see from his back that he, his second-in-command, would be the only one running, forgetting his duties.

　Fanon raised an eyebrow curiously at the man being carried. Roen was rather high up in the squad in terms of ability, but the man being carried on his back showed even higher rankings.

　He was only seen from a distance, but there was no trauma.

''Healing mages stand by, take them away at once!

　Instantly, Exeles flies his instructions and without needing to go through the captain, three of the stationed healing mages come out and get ready. They lay a sheet of improvised magic formula carved on a stretcher.

　Pausing for a moment to put AWR's choice on hold, Fanon walked over to Roen. He called out to his subordinate, who was being piggybacked on Roen's back as he crouched down.

'You messed up,'
I'm sorry.
I don't mind. That's what the troops are for. You're lucky you're not dead. And what have you got?

　Roen took over with a slight twist of his head, as he couldn't let the stone talk any more.

''Apparently, there's quite a gap in that scaly outer shell, but it's full of magic power spewing out of it. So it looks like it took a few bones with it, despite the fact that I definitely avoided it.
It's a natural barrier. Not that it matters anyway.

　Roen leaned his back against the healing mage and deposited him. Then he put his hands on his knees and stood up vigorously. Because he still needed to draw them to the end as his second in command.

'You could do something captain-like too.
Haha.....

　Smiling bitterly, Roen stood up in front of Fanon's eyes and for some reason felt a weight around his waist.
　Immediately after, he heard a scream leaking from the back of his throat.

''Hee!!!!!
What?

　Roen turns around and lowers his gaze as it is and sees a swooshing, liver-chilling sight.
　Wherever she got caught, the hooks on the belt around her waist had pulled up Fanon's blouse. She was on her toes, but her belly button was in full view due to the height difference between her and Roen.

''Fa, Lady Fanon!　This is.....

　Shortly after he began to utter an excuse. There was a botched and weightless sound. Roen held his mouth because he saw something bowl-shaped (,) at the edge of his vision.

　A total of eight pads fell off, and one of them rolled over and hit Roen's feet. The worst part of his misfortune was that it had even caught his bra.

　It was a moment when time stood still. The situation he had feared the most, the unspoken law that had been forbidden as a god not to be touched and not to be haunted, was now broken.

　Perhaps it was human instinct, but the garrison troops, including the captain who had been lining up behind Fanon, immediately turned their faces away and meditated. They had now encountered a far more frightening situation than the S-rate, that's how it felt.

　Exeles' action was quick as he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. Perhaps it was comparable to his own reflex speed. He was able to put the limits of his physical body into just a few steps.
　All of the pads lying at her feet were in Exeles' hands within two seconds of falling, and she stuffed them into her pockets while no one was looking.
　She glanced at Roen, glaring at him. It can't be helped what has happened. So she should take care of the rest.

'This is, well, you know. It was an accident, an accident, and I'm sorry....sorry...!

　She hurriedly unhooked the hooks from her clothes, but it was already too late. Because Fanon's bosom has made her feminine features disappear.
　Without any resistance, the clothes fit into the flat chest plate and leaked air.

　Most of all, Fanon's trembling shoulders were scary - a moment.

''Ughhhh........''

　Roen's body floated up vigorously. An intense pain stabbed into his groin, and when he found out that he had been kicked up, he was already white eyed.
　His crotch instantly heated up and for some reason, the pain pierced through him like a needle being threaded through the sole of his foot and into his groin. Even though he knew it would never make a sound, this time Roen was sure he heard a mekey crushing sound.

　The golden ball crushed against the back of Fanon's leg was done for.
　This was the moment when the entire squad - only the men - rubbed their crotches together like a woman. It made him pale that he couldn't possibly be a personnel officer, and then he was glad it wasn't him.

　As if something was lost, Roen collapsed as it was, with only his hips thrust up.

　He shook his shoulders full and full, and Fanon cried out like a decisive river.

'Oh my god, Iyaaaaahhhh... hiccup, why am I the only one... why do I have to be so, so embarrassed when I'm single?'

　She wiped the hollow and overflowing large tears with the back of her hand, her face flushed red, and she let out a loud "ooohhhh" as she sat down directly on the ground with a flop.

　Exeles gently wrapped her arms around him from behind and held him like a sister.
