Surprisingly, the cat patrolmen organized by Nyantharo were very good.
　Whenever there was any trouble in the city, they would immediately run to the knight's choke point and call the knights. Whenever there is a suspicious person, they will chase him or her and keep an eye on his or her behavior. If the children try to play dangerous games, they will alert the adults.
　He was able to do all this even if he couldn't speak the language. Before long, the people of the city began to love cats and saw them everywhere.
　With so many of them around, they might steal a fish or do something bad, but I've never heard of such a thing. But I've never heard of such a thing. Nantalo is probably holding the reins well.
　Another adventurer who had bullied a quiet cat one way or the other was found battered in a back alley. His body was said to have numerous scratches on it. Apparently, they had been attacked by a group of people. After that, the number of adventurers who tormented the cat for fun has dropped dramatically. Even animals get angry when they're angry. By the way, the adventurer who was attacked became so traumatized that he left the town with a phobia of cats.
　This is how the cats became citizens of Brunhild.

So what's this suspicious character?
Meow.

　I, along with Nyantarou, looked at that person in the tavern next to the guild from the shadows. Today, Fiana-san was spending the day with Sakura at the castle, so Nyantauro was out of guard duty.
　That person, who the cats had found suspicious, was at the far end of the counter, chivvied and drinking. She is dressed in a dirty hooded robe, so I can't make out her face, but I have a feeling she is a woman. That's just the way I feel.
　The hands and legs extending from the robe, the hand and foot cover 《Guntred》 and 《Greave》 are visible. Is it the knight from somewhere?
　Well, although it's suspicious, it's not that alarming. There may be some people who have some reasons for not wanting their identities to be known.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's also a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
You don't smell that?
There are different degrees of body odor, but each person has their own unique smell. Of course, it's possible to disguise that smell with perfume, but it's unusual to have no smell at all.

　I see. Cats are also said to have a sense of smell hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than humans, although not as powerful as dogs. It is said that cats also judge whether food is good or bad by its smell, and they rub their bodies against their owners' feet because they are marking their own smell.
　If these cats are abnormal, there must be something wrong with them.

There are three possibilities.

　Then Nyantaro held up three short fingers. You're crafty, Oi.

The first one, I'm using magic to remove the smell. This is the same for artifacts. Secondly, they are undead. But it doesn't smell like death. Well, it could be a spirit body. And the second one. It could be a golem, or a magical creature. But I've never seen a small golem like that before. The first one is the most likely.

　As for the golem, it's called a fresh golem, and some of them are like Frankenstein's monster, but they're like the undead. It seems to have one of those death stenches.
　If they're using some kind of magic to get rid of the smell, why would they do that? It becomes. Is there any such magic in the first place? There might be non-attribute magic, though.
　Normally, it would be that I'm using deodorant magic because it smells so bad, but there are also bath houses in this town. If you have the money to drink alcohol, you should be able to go there as well.

Well, it's suspicious, but it's not like I've done anything wrong so far.
"Your Majesty is a sweetheart. It's too late to do anything about it. It's better to take action before it's too late.

　Really? I'm just drinking quietly, and you don't have to go to all that trouble to.......oh?
　Two drunken adventurers of some sort are involved with a suspicious person in the hood. It's conspicuous in a bad way, so I suppose it's inevitable that those people would come to you.
　Should I stop them?
　As I was thinking about this, I was hiding behind the entrance of the tavern and looking at the situation, when the adventurer who was tangled up in front of me at a high rate of speed blew up in front of me. Huh!
　An adventurer is blown out of the entrance and falls headfirst to the ground. He was thrown away by the prowler in the hood.
　The adventurer man was reasonably tall and stocky. What a monstrous force to fly that many meters.
　As I was about to look inside again from the entrance, the other adventurer was blown away again. Danger!
　I retract my head like a turtle, and the man flies through the air and falls to the ground in the same way as before.
　When I looked into the bar, I saw a suspicious man in a hood who was once again sniffing a glass of liquor as if nothing had happened. He seems to be a person with quite a lot of guts.

''You bastard!''
You've got to be kidding me.

　The red-faced adventurers drew their swords from their waists and were about to rush into the tavern. They must be quite drunk, this. As you would expect.

Oops, that's it. Anything more than that is too much. If you don't draw your sword, it's just a fight, and if you don't draw your sword, you're killing each other. As expected, I can't miss it.
What a little brat! You're with him!
"Get out of my way! You want to be hurt too!

　Like a kid. I'm over 17 already, but it seems that I haven't grown up much, and people still react this way to me. Finally, the immortality of the divine influence is gaining credibility.... It might not just be immortality, let alone immortality, but I can't bring myself to try it.

''What the hell is this?''
Looks like there's some kind of rampage.
I mean, that's His Majesty.

　Before we knew it, a crowd had formed around the tavern. Even the children were waving at us.

'Hee-ka! Good luck!
Do it!

　No, no, no, it's not like that.
　I waved my hand back at the kids with a wry smile, and one of them slashed at me, as if that was off-putting.

''Uraaah!''

　I ducked and ducked the big swing of the sword that didn't even include a waist. I'm not sure if it's because I'm drunk, but I'm not sure if my feet are faltering.
　However, there's no doubt that it's a dangerous situation.
　I would have killed him with Brunhild's paralyzing bullets, but with a gallery like this, I can't help but wonder if I'm going to have a bad image as if I shot him dead. Yeah, let's just incapacitate them normally.
　I dodge the attacker's attack and activate "Paralyze" by touching his body. Seeing my partner collapsing like a broken thread, the other one also swings his sword at me, but I catch his sword blade with my finger and snap it with "Power Rise". It's a cheap one.

''Nah!''

　As it is, activate "Paralyze" in the same way to neutralize it.

'Fu'

　Just as I was clearing them away, Guild Master Relisha-san came out from inside the guild next to the tavern.

''Your Majesty? What the hell is all this fuss about?
'Hmm, there was a drunk on the rampage, so I took him down. He seems to be an adventurer, so be careful just in case.

　To be precise, guilds cannot control adventurers, but if they seriously damage the adventurer's status or character, and cause real harm to the guild, there are various penalties available, ranging from reduced rewards to stripping the guild card. There are even rumors that there is an assassination squad behind the scenes, but I don't know if it's true or not.

''I understand. I won't penalize you this time, but I will give you strict attention. If it goes on and on, though, that's not the case. But normally, if you were to point a sword at the king of a country, you would have been put to death.
Well, we'll just have to let it slide.

　The guild staff drags the two fallen people into the guild. Their bodies were paralyzed, but their vision and hearing were intact, so they must have heard what they said earlier. Both of them had bright blue faces. Are they sobered up?

Let me ask you something.
Ooh!

　I couldn't help but let out a strange voice when I was suddenly approached from behind. Standing behind me was that suspicious person who was drinking at the counter of the bar, that suspicious person. I didn't sense any sign of him at all! Who the hell is this guy........ From his voice, he still sounds like a woman........

"Your Majesty, is that the 'king' of this country, correct?
Yeah, but...?
So you're Motizukidouya?

　I nodded at the suspicious person in the hood. What the hell is this? It's not like he's an assassin sent from somewhere else, is it? I can't think of anyone else besides Euron who might send that kind of thing at the moment.

'Can we talk for a bit in the middle of nowhere? I won't take up your time.
Okay.

　I was slightly resistant to following a suspicious person with a huge explosion of suspiciousness, but I agreed to the story because it didn't feel hostile and I was slightly curious.
　I couldn't feel any........heat from the hooded woman walking in front of me. I feel like I'm following a doll or a robot.
　In the meantime, I leave Nantaro where he is and take me into the woods by the canal on the east side.
　When I made sure no one was around, the woman in front of me dropped her hood back, exposing her face to the sun.

''Nah...!

　He jumps backwards and reflexively pulls out the brunnhilde at his waist and aims it at the woman. The face floating at the end of the gun's shining star is quite well-groomed and would be in the beautiful category.
　However, what caught my eye more than that was the glowing red eyes and the hard hair that stretched from her head. I've seen that hair, which shines like glittering crystal, twice before. First with Rhodomea and then with Xenoas.

''The dominant species........!

　Crap! Why is the dominant species getting into Brunhild again! There was no sign of any appearance on the sensor board, the tablet!

Wait. We are not here to fight.
..........?

　Are you willing to fight? What do you mean?

'I'm Lise. If you're Mochizuki Touya, you know Endemuon, right?
'Endemuon...? You mean Ende?

　That's his real name?

Endemuon is not back from the dimensional chasm. I'm afraid it's taking them a little longer to get out of there. I'm afraid we're going to need your help.
Rescue?

　As I was wondering, unsure of the reasoning, the dominant species, who called themselves Lise, threw something from underneath their robes and sent it to me. When I reflexively received it, I saw that it was a crystal triangular prism about 10 centimeters long.

Pour your magic into it. It is said that if you pour your magic power into it, if it exceeds a certain amount, it will draw Endemuson back to you.
Apparently?
Endemuon says so. "Endemuon said so. Unfortunately I don't have any magic. He told me to turn to the King of the Land, Mochizuki Touya, for help.

　I really don't understand it anymore. Why are you trying to help Ende when it's definitely the dominant species in front of you? Wasn't that guy supposed to be hostile to the Frays?
　Or is this a trap?
　I glanced at the dominant species that called itself Lise, but I didn't see any emotion in it. However, I have the feeling that she is somehow different from the two dominant species I met before.
　I put a little bit of magic into the prism. There is no particular change in the prism or myself. It's okay........?
　Little by little, I poured my magic power into it, gradually increasing its amount. Eventually, when I poured out a tenth of my total magic power, the prism shattered into pieces.

''Whoa!''

　When I took my hand off the shattered prism, it became a large circle of glittering little pieces, and Ende appeared from within it with a gleam and slipped to our side as if it was nothing.

''Oh. I knew it was the winter night. Thank God. If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have been able to leave for another six months. Oh, I'm home. Lise.
You're back, Endemuon.

　Ende returned to this world with a smile on his face, still fluttering his white scarf as usual.
