It's weird. Why are you surprised to find me here? Are you from Radshausen?

　Reinhardt raised his straight sword and asked.



　Ulanos replied.

'Why are you here from such a country?
I don't know. Something may be going on here without our knowledge. It is a closed country, where even the castaways don't come to visit. There may be a famine, or ... well, whatever. But the word "deus" is a dodgy word. The Dark Lord told me that no one on this continent uses that symbol.
Okay.
What the hell are you talking about?

　Amadeus was puzzled.

'Reinhardt, you are the White King Knight. Why is the White King's Knight here. This is the Empire, isn't it?'

　Amadeus cooled down as he spoke, and then realized.

'You're the secret agent....'
What other reason could there be?
"But when Radshausen was attacked, you were...
I see. You were there, weren't you? Yes. But it's not much of an assault, that's all. I was just toying with you, gaining your trust for 20 years, and no one ever doubted me. The Empire was supposed to take advantage of this and use it to take over the royal capital and make it their base of operations. But something unexpected appeared.
...Nito.
''I had to stay focused on that guy's presence at all times. Even though I'm not in a perfect state, I can still see the results of making enemies with someone who can't even sense magic power. The White King has only been able to kill two people so far, and my twenty years have been meaningless.
"Can't kill,

　The red-black shadow of Amadeus begins to shake violently.

'The attackers must have been clearly hostile to you.
"Father was the only one who knew I had infiltrated that country. I hadn't even told my brothers the name of the country. Gideon Sydow and Frans Bohrainne thought I was the enemy. By the way, I think it's time for you to take off that crazy mask of yours.
What did you do to Rathhausen...
No, nothing. What, I thought you were well-informed, but you don't know what happened to that country?　I see, so you weren't in that country when you killed the king. At least you weren't among the White King's knights...
Wait ... you killed the king?
Hmm, why are you so surprised?

　Amadeus was silent, and Reinhardt considered the situation.
　But there was no answer, and Reinhardt probed with his mouth.

'What's wrong with Sierra........'
You're not...

　Reinhardt's eyes narrowed at his words, and the tip of his sword wavered slightly as he realized something.
　On the other hand, Amadeus begins to mutter an understanding that resembles a question to himself as he mumbles.

''No........So that's what happened. That's why you didn't move your emotions at that time, as if you didn't have blood in your veins. I only thought it was something that the abyss hadn't acclimated to yet.
What are you talking about?
....

　The red light leaking from Amadeus' mask caught Reinhardt as if he was glaring at him.

'Reinhardt, you didn't have any sympathy for anyone, even then. You were just putting up a false expression. But no one noticed....
"Take off the mask!
'Well but if you're from the Empire, a lot of things make sense.

　As Amadeus said this, he opened the pause somewhat thoughtfully, and when he did, he produced a whirlpool that twisted space within his reach.
　He then reached in and pulled out a huge axe from within.

''Reinhardt. I'm going to kill you first--

　He held the great axe at the ready and then ran so fast that a man could run.

　His steps were easy enough for Reinhardt to catch him.
　With his straight sword at the ready, Reinhardt caught the approaching axe.

''Are you trying to add or subtract?''

　When a metallic clang echoed through the hall, I heard Reinhardt's question.
　But Amadeus doesn't answer.
　Reinhardt swung his axe and prevented each time he did so.
　But the engagement was soon over.

　A change appeared in Amadeus' one swing, and the sweetness of his earlier gait disappeared.
　There was a definite killing intent there.
　Sensing a presence, Reinhardt immediately distanced himself and stepped back.

I've never crossed swords with you before," he said. I've never crossed swords with you, so I wanted to give it one last try.

　Amadeus replied as he put the axe back.

'--Lick me!

　Just then, he saw Jade behind Amadeus.

'Jade, no!'

　Reinhardt's voice was vain, and Jade grinned, and with a grin, she wore a spinning spear of magic power in one hand and plunged toward Amadeus.
　The glowing red dot in Amadeus' mask moved guillotically in that direction at the sight of him.

''Cockatrice style--''

　A voice sounded like it was leaking.

''--Fossilized Fist.''
Haha!

　Amadeus' right elbow (elbow) was jammed into Jade's jaw (chin) when she should have taken her back.
　Jade was thrown into the open hall and fell to the ground, but did not get up.

'Have you found pleasure in the dark....

　It was Amadeus' voice.
　As Amadeus turned around, Reinhardt put on his magical clothing.

''Rashausen is a peaceful country. It can be said to be completely cut off from the mundane world. When I founded this organization, the world, the humans, were even more corrupt than they are now. A multi-tailed fox woman was bought as a maid by a nobleman who had his eye on her and burned her village to the ground. A dark elf woman was auctioned off in the dark with an "endangered species" sign around her neck. A dwarf man with a now-obsolete smithing craft is held captive by a slave-maniac king who has been fixing the toys of a young prince for years. Such is the world. But that wasn't the case with Razhuisen.
''........Indeed. As a small country in the countryside, that country didn't even have a conflict. But now it doesn't deserve that reputation anymore.
It's because you changed it!
...so what? There's no turning back now.
You speak as if you wish it were possible.
It's a figure of speech. It's a figure of speech. It doesn't matter what I want, there is no peace in that country anymore. And you can't take it back. It's no different than what you've done. You have no right to blame me.
Reinhardt...

　Amadeus pointed his right hand at Reinhardt.

''There's certainly no going back. I should have killed you as soon as I felt uncomfortable.......I was tricked, White King's Knight--《Destroy(delite)》!

　Amadeus exercised his magic on Reinhardt with an air of sadness.
　But that was the time.
　The magic that Amadeus was supposed to have unleashed, as if it had been nullified, dissipated in a wave to the surroundings before it could reach Reinhardt.

''Silly... what is this...''

　It looked to Amadeus like a ward.
　Or it looked like a transparent curtain.
　Everything, including Reinhardt and the throne, was covered and protected by a membrane of some sort.

''--I guess I'm a little late.

　At that moment, a man's voice sounded throughout the entire hall, a man's voice with no streaks and crystal clearness.

''No way, Pluto. You're right on time.'

　The throne's Uranos smiled thinly as if he was proud of his victory and replied that he was.
　Then the transparent membrane that had been built in front of him gathered behind Reinhardt as if he was being sucked in.

'Reinhardt, you've grown up,'
Yes.
Huh, you're sloppy as always.

　The reddish-black shadow that wriggled behind Reinhardt became concentrated, and it stayed in shape into a human shape as he watched.

''What........''

　Amadeus' voice revealed his greatest confusion, as if he'd never shown it since he came here.

'Oh, what the hell are you?'
"My dear Dark Lord, that man calls himself Ankh Amadeus. He must be the head of the benevolent bloodline that has recently appeared. It seems he has the same abyssal magic as the Dark Lord.

　Ulanos replied in a respectful tone.

'Indeed, it seems so.'
You're that ... wait, you're the Dark Lord?

　Amadeus was troubled by the fact that Uranos had called the man, whose face was obscured by Reinhardt's shadow, the 'Dark Lord'.

"The Underworld........the Underworld?
'That's astute. Nobody talks about my country around here, so I always assumed nobody knew about it.
"Underworld Sigma Deus...
Your emotions are in turmoil. Apparently, you're a candidate for the throne, just like me, but I don't think you're quite ready for it yet.

　Whatever he sensed in those words, Amadeus quickly distanced himself from them.

'Why are you running away?　I think there are a few things we can understand about each other with the abyss, though. Well, I see you haven't mastered a lot of things yet.
....

　Amadeus was intensely alarmed.
　Then from Reinhardt's shadow, the man emerged from Reinhardt's shadow, step by step.

''You are.........''
Oh, do I know you from somewhere?

　As soon as he saw that man's face in Amadeus, he stopped moving his body completely.

'You are Ankh Amadeus, I call myself Sigmadeus. "Ankh Amadeus, I call myself Sigmaduceus, and you are from Gagaku," he said, "I am from this continent, but my mother was from Gagaku. I am from this continent, but my mother was from Ojikoku, so you are from Ojikoku. So I wondered if you are from OxyContinental.

　Uranos smiles at the throne.
　Reinhardt staring at him with a quiet, expressionless look.
　Lage, who is frightened by the pillars.
　Checking each face, Amadeus gazed at the man's face and learned what he hadn't yet known about the empire.

'I am Adolf. You haven't come to invade my territory, have you?

　Long, dark green hair that swayed.
　Adolph smiled a fresh, streak-free smile and asked.
