After our meeting with Gallian and the others, we were driving the carriage to the capital. After beating up Gull Lake, they asked me a lot of questions about me in the other room.

　It was troubling because they all seemed happy to talk about me. From the time Aeris was born until I left the frontier county, and the four years that Alexia and the others have been around since then until now.

　Caro had never heard of it either, so he was listening happily, and Gallian-san seemed impressed by the fact that I was being squeezed by his master, and Merrieth-san was listening to the story with a smile on his face.

　When we talked for a long time, we realized that it was getting late and we decided to go home. Mr. Gallian and Mr. Méliès suggested that we should stay the night, but since we had left Dagris and the others over there, we had to leave.

　We promised to come back, and we left Mr. Gallian and the others and are now on our way. It's not half an hour's drive in a slow carriage. I can always go. Caro looks out a little sadly, though.

'Are you alright, Caro?'

'What?　Yeah, I'm fine, but what's going on?

No, it's just a blur.

　When I say this, he smiles, scratching his cheeks as if he's a little embarrassed.

'I'm sorry for worrying you. I was just thinking about your brother Gal.

Do you mind?

Of course it is. He's my cousin.

　Caro smiles sadly at that. Cousin, huh? I don't recall it much lately, but I had a cousin in a previous life. Her name was Kana Katsuragi, and she was a year younger than me, I think.

　She was a pretty girl, and I took her in at home before junior high school, I think. My memories of this area are fading. I remember her being so attached to me all the time and being a spoiled brat.

　As I was reminiscing about the past, I noticed that people were staring at me.

'Hey, what's up, guys?'

He looked kind of sad.

　Alexia says. 'That's a face Aeris used to make even when he was in the frontier county,' she says, 'but he did.

'I don't know what you're remembering, but we're here!

　Helen says. Everyone else nods at that statement. That's right. I'm not living in a previous life anymore, but now. It's not a good memory to forget, but I remember it now, and I don't care.

Thanks, guys.

　I thanked them for their help.

Oh, my God, you're so cute!

　And Alexia hugs me. The destination is, of course, my breasts, as Alexia hugs my head in a medium hug. My face is buried in her fluffy breasts. I can hear envious voices from the people around me and the vindictive voices of one ... two people, but it's time to let go of the pain, so I would appreciate it if you would let me go.

　We were all talking about such things when all of a sudden

　Boom!

　There was a loud noise. Outside, the carriage stopped with a panicked voice as the person outside tried to calm the horse, which was startled by the noise. We looked at each other and went outside, and when we looked in the direction of the sound, we saw that it was the Gautengburg territory.

　We watch for a few moments, and suddenly something like smoke starts to rise. It's not white in color, but a little red.

''That one!''

You know Caro?

'That's the wolfsbane we raise when we call for help in the capital when we have a problem!　Something must have happened to the Gautenburg territory!

　Caro gives an impatient look. After that, there is a sparse but loud noise, and smoke rises as if someone used fire magic.

''.......What the hell is going on?''

'I don't know, but we can't just sit around and watch this happen!

'Yes. We'll go to the Gautenburg territory now, but we'll split it in two. Caro, you will return to the capital and speak to the Pope. Then I want you to bring reinforcements.

　When I say that, he's reluctant to do so, but he replies that he understands. I'm sure Caro himself actually wants to go, but Caro is the easiest person to get through to the Pope. I think Caro knows that.

'And Aeris and Helen, I want you to go with me. Please.

　They both nod quickly. It's probably okay, but there could be something similar happening in the capital city as well. I'll send Helen to the capital with Aeris to escort me at that time, who will explain this situation in more detail.

'Gentlemen, I'll ask for the three of you.

Okay, sure. But what about the other three?

We're going to run. Alexia, Ferris, can you go?

Of course I do.

'Hmmm!　Who do you think you are?!

　Alexia smiles at me and replies, and Ferris makes a smug face with his chest. The tail is also wagging briskly and energetically.

'........please, Ray.

Yeah, I got it. Body strengthening. Come on, you two.

　Then we start running. Behind us, Caro is holding hands and praying, and he is muttering to himself that he didn't need the carriage.

　A few minutes after we started, we soon came to the gates of the Gautenburg territory and noticed that the residents were crowding the gates to get out of the territory.

　We decided to ask the soldiers who were evacuating the inhabitants near the gate.

'What the hell happened!

Who are you guys?　You two, get out of here!　There's a demon tribe rampaging inside!

　A demon on the loose?　Don't tell me you're here to get back at me for killing Gilgas?　I looked around at Alexia and Ferris, and

'Ah!　You guys wait!

　He walked inside. There were intermittently loud noises inside, and I could hear someone shouting.

''This sound is...''

Yes, the one with the Cardinal Gautenburg's house and school!

I can smell blood over there...

　Ferris holds his nose and gets teary-eyed as he says this. I think about it while patting Ferris' head.

"Is it possible that they are seeking refuge in the school?

Maybe. The academy is fortified with a wall in case of emergency.

　Apparently there's one at Cardia Academy. When Ferris calmed down, he started running again. And when they arrive at the school, it's there.

That's terrible.

Yeah.

　The defensive walls have been breached and bloodied soldiers lie on the ground. And beyond, I can see the demon tribe, which is just over two meters tall, and Gallian and his soldiers fighting while protecting the residents.

''Alexia and Ferris, evacuate the inhabitants, and I'll beat the source!

Okay!

I got it!

　So we parted, and I pulled a wax gum out of my item ring.

Wind-magic Sylphid blast with body and weapons.

　I wear it like the wind winding backwards around me. Above my head, Hikarin and Marilyn are sulking, but I don't care. I release a godspeed thrust. I start running for the demon tribe.

　Gallian-san, who noticed me, screams out, but I just go in.

''Gah?''

　Twisting his body to the limit, he grasps the stone pike with his right palm and supports Rowga with his left hand. Then he enters the bosom of the demon race and releases it!

Screwdriver!

　He twists his right hand and releases a thrust. Advancing while spinning, Rowga stabs forward while gouging out the flesh of the demon race.

''Gah!''

　And blowing up demons. Okay, now.

Are you all right, Mr. Gallian?

Oh, yeah, thank you for your help, Mr. Ray. But why are you here?

'I was on my way back when I heard a noise, so I came back. So what are those demons?

　When I ask him about the demon race, he looks sad. What?

That's Gull Lake.

...What?

　I had no idea what was being said.
