What's your plan?　General Krue.
　Frontal assault. We're splitting up.

　Kryu answered Mari's question.
　Mari cowered her shoulders.

　''You're the same as always. Well, Rosais' army doesn't do anything but siege tactics, according to the rumors. I'm not used to it.
I guess it's better than trying to beat them with tactics. But the enemy will always come up with countermeasures. They won't be incompetent enough to make the same mistakes.

　Mari looks at the war elephants.
　The war elephants are sixty, including the additional ones sent from the home country.

　If they won this one battle, King Domorgal's country would become a puppet of the Roselle Kingdom, and King Rosais' country would lose a great deal of national power.
　In order for Roselle's kingdom to control the Adelunian peninsula, they absolutely must win this one battle.

　'We know the enemy's tactics. It's a siege tactic, right?　The cavalry is blocked by elephants. The problem is the spear, the explosive weapon. But we have a plan to deal with that as well.
　Yeah. Well, I hope so.

　So if they're in the mood for this...
　Kryu smiled.

　Then he looked up at Mari.

　''Lord Maroon. Could you ask King Domorgal (Aldo Domorgal) to lend you Lord Alice?
　I don't mind. He's a real piece of work.

　Mari laughs wryly.
　She is an evil woman who plays with the heart of a pure-hearted boy.

　The two names of a witch are not to be confused.

　''Well, let's give the men a rest until King Rosais's army arrives.






　Alms...
　Hmm?　Tetra. What's going on?

　At night, Tetra visited my camp.
　Tetra usually sleeps in the same place as the other spellcasters.

　Because of the unique situation of the battlefield, it is safer for women to stay together with other women in solidarity.

　''Hmm...''

　Tetra hugs me and puts her hands behind her back.
　She looked up at me with moist eyes.

　I pressed my own lips to Tetra's lips.

　'What's the matter with you all of a sudden?'
　You haven't done that in a while.

　Tetra comes crawling a white hand over my lower body.
　That in my lower body jiggles.

　'You're a bad girl. You really want to do this, don't you?　If you want it you have to say something, don't you?

　When I say nastily, Tetra blushes and spins her words in a hushed manner.

　''... yes. She's a bad girl. That's why Alms's-'
　"Hey, Tetra. What do you think about women who run off the street and are disgusting?

　Yulia said as she came into the camp from around "You haven't done that lately, have you?" as she glared behind Tetra.

　Tetra turned around and looked up at me again with a supercilious look on her face as she saw Yulia.

　''Please. Alms'.........
　Listen to the people!

　Julia grabs Tetra's body and forces her away.
　Tetra protests with a pout of her lips.

　'Now the good part,'
　'May!　We said before we came here that we'd talk to each other when we did!
　There were urgent circumstances.
　Yeah, what's the story?

　Tetra tells her, looking straight into Julia's eyes as she proudly stretches her chest.

　'I dreamed that Alms was drowning in manhood. I knew I had to hurry up with this...　
　How can you make a lame excuse for yourself?

　Julia sighs as if to say she's dumbfounded.

　What kind of dream is it that I'm drowning in male s*x?
　...I'm wondering who I'm dealing with.

　Maybe it's Ron, Rosward, and Gram.
　Or maybe Bartolo or Muzio...
　Could it be that it is Alexios?

　And with that much thought I shake off the odd thought.



　'Well, good.'

　Yulia said, and then grabbed and moved closer to me.
　Then she cupped my cheek with her hands and pressed her lips to mine.

　Julia's tongue invades my mouth.
　Our tongues are intricately intertwined and our saliva mingles with each other.

　'Who's better at this, Tetra or me?'
　Is it Julia?
　'See. That's why it's mine!

　Julia hugs me tightly.
　I crawl my tongue on Julia's neck.

　Julia's fingertips slowly swing against my chest plate as she gradually descends.

　''Fufu, so much-hyan!

　Yulia screamed as Tetra grabbed her breasts in an eagle grip.
　Munimni and Yulia's ample breasts deformed and a troubled voice escaped Yulia's lips.

　'Ya, stop it!
　Then step away. Alms is mine.

　Tetra rubs Yulia's breasts, sweetly biting her ears as she tries to pull Yulia off of her.

　Julia, defeated, stretches on Tetra and grabs Tetra's bowl-shaped breasts and rubs them.
　A gasp escaped Tetra's lips.

　"Hmm, d*mn it, let go. 'Tetra. I am Almus's rightful wife. I have a right to be the first!'
　"Mmm, I'm the first woman to marry Alms. I'm the first. Get out of my way, eternal loser.

　It's a hotly contested battle, with neither side losing a step.
　It's a nice spectacle.

　Let's just let this play out for a while. Let's see who's going to win....

　The two men continue to fight each other on the rug.
　They are both sweating and their faces are up in the air.

　The reason their faces are red is not just because of the exercise.

　Their clothes are disheveled and look very erotic.

　I've been working on my bare shoulders and thighs, rather than the cleavage of my breasts and the glimpse of my lower body.

　'Alms is my thing!
　No. Mine!

　Well, I can't stand it anymore, so I'll stop now.

　That was inexcusable.
　I drape over both of them and grab both of their breasts at the same time.

　Their gasps overlap.

　'Which one of me is the thing?　But it's not right. The right thing to do is to say, "You two are mine. Do you understand?
　Yes, sir.
　Yes.

　They both blush.
　I lightly peck at their lips and then smirk at them.

　'I'm going to give you a thorough refresher tonight,'








　'Oh no, it's great. O King!　This will make the next prince and princess born sooner than later. The Rosais royal family is safe!

　Bartolo greeted me as I came out of the camp curtain, clapping.
　You've been eavesdropping. You have bad taste.

　"Where's your wife, by the way?
　'Tetra's legs are wobbly and she can't move. Julia fainted.
　'Can you tell me your secret?　O king.
　It's all about slowness.

　I sit down on the floor as I say this.
　I'm a little tired of the quicksand.

　Bartolo sits down beside me and holds out a glass.
　There's a bottle of wine inside, alongside a bottle of wine.

　'Please don't do this on the eve of war. Those two men are a valuable asset against the witch Merlin.
　I know. I'm the one who has to fight General Clue.

　It's only today that we can be so reckless.
　The rest will have to wait until after the war.

　When I get back I'll- No, let's not.

　But there was a lot of noise coming out of him. The guards were bent over.
　They're too loud.
　I'm sorry to hear that. 'Quiet. I can hear you outside!'

　Bartolo shows me how to imitate my voice.
　I chuckle and sip my wine.

　'Speaking of which, no soldiers.
　I dismissed them myself. It's going to be tough on the soldiers who are hoarding. I was responsible for guarding it, so no one was spying on us!
　Somebody overheard me, though.
　That's good. As a vassal, I'm worried about you.

　Bartolo showed him a scare.

　We both sipped our wine and looked up at the starry sky.
　The moon is huge in this world...or rather, the night sky is brighter because it's so close.

　Still, it's darker than the Japanese sky, so the stars come out beautifully.

　Silence dominates the scene.


　'Hey, Bartolo,'
　What is it?
　You, me or the Lossies. Who comes first?

　Bartolo's eyes narrow quickly.
　He sets his drink on the ground and stares straight into my eyes.

　'What does that mean?'
　As it is. A man named Bartolo Pompeius works for Almus as Rosais?　Or are you in the service of Almus?
　'I serve Almus as Rosais. But if I told you that Raimondo Rosais is going to be king from this day forward, I'd have a hard time believing it.
　Well....

　I gulp down the last of my wine.
　Then I turn to Bartolo.

　"When this war is over...
　'Please don't!　My King. I have a wife...
　'Now that we're talking about something serious, stop making jokes like that!

　You're an idiot.
　Bartolo laughs and refills my cup with wine.

　'Excuse me. So what is it?　Could it be........that you want Prince Anx to be crowned Crown Prince?

　Bartolo's eyes get sharp.
　I shook my head.

　'I'm not going to do something stupid like splitting the country in half. Anx is cute too but if you do that you'll make Anx unhappy with himself. Tetra you may not be happy with it, but you'll accept it. And I think he was prepared to do that to begin with.

　What are you talking about, then?
　'The Dauphin is Julia's son. The House of Rosais will continue to respect him. But don't you think it's time to decide who's going to have the upper hand?　Our country must become a monolith.
　Oh, I see....

　Bartolo dropped to his knees and hung his head.

　"O king! I will be your sword while you wish to take Julia as your rightful wife and her child as your crown prince.
　Thank you. Bartolo Pompeius. Your loyalty is not forgotten.

　We laugh at each other and look up at the stars again.
　Something glitters in the night sky.

　A shooting star....






　No!

　I quickly draw my sword and cut off the object that flew at me and Bartolo's eyebrows.

　I give Bartolo a look.
　Bartolo draws his sword and stands back to back with me.

　'Isn't that what happens when you miss the soldiers on guard?
　...because King Almus is playing Gisian on the battlefield.

　We stare into the darkness.
　I don't feel a thing.

　But I know something's out there. There has to be.

　Tsk.

　My ears catch the sound of gravel scraping.
　Without a moment's pause, something flies at my neck.

　I flick it with my sword and grab it.
　I can feel a person's body heat.

　It's a person's arm.

　I pull on the arm as hard as I can, but....

　!!!!

　Is he out?
　His arm swings bravely from my grip on his palm.

　'Spiders grow back when they're out,'

　It's a woman's voice.　
　I strain my eyes to identify the woman.

　I can't make out her face or hair color because she's wearing a black outfit.
　I finally recognize the woman from her swollen chest.

　"You monster.

　Bartolo compares the left arm in my hand with the woman's bare left arm.
　The woman's left arm must have grown out just now from where it wasn't wrapped in her sleeve.


　I've heard that a lot. As they say, one is no match for a monster.

　At that moment, a chill went through me.
　I grab Bartolo's head in a hurry and lower my head.

　Something snatches over me and Bartolo's head.

　'Do you want to avoid my strings? You have good instincts!

　The woman came at once to close the distance.
　The knife is held in the woman's hand.

　The knife glows in the moonlight.

　'An assassin, Roselle uses a cowardly hand!

　My sword and the woman's knife collide.
　My dragon Damascus sword slices through the knives like fruit, but there's no end in sight as the woman pulls one knife after another out of her sleeve to slide it off.

　''Oh no!''

　I jump on a hunch.
　Something snatches my foot and the tip of my shoe is cut off.

　'Something, you have a blessing.
　You too.
　'No way, I don't have a sacred thing like a blessing. My power is much, much dirtier than that.

　Swords and knives crossed over and over again.

　It must have been five minutes of fighting.

　'I heard something!
　'The king's camp!
　Hurry!

　The soldiers seem to have noticed.

　'Perhaps I should have gone after your wife instead of you. I was too greedy. Let's disperse.
　Wait!

　I panicked and tried to follow.
　But I soon realize.

　There's a lot of thread stretched out in front of me.

　I touch the threads with my fingers.
　Blood seeps out.

　This is going to be tough.



　We need to tighten up our surveillance.
　And I'll sleep with Tetra and Yulia every night.
