Come on. The guy's not home on his feet.

Wow!

　I gave him a spear to pay off his legs, and Dry fell face first to the ground. This reminds me of Roy. At first he used to get trapped and fall off his face.

　Every time I asked Mei to wipe his face, he looked so happy. And then he stopped scratching.

"d*mn it!　We're not using a spear while you're using a sword!　........is!

　 I'm sure you're not the only one. If you want to continue to be Phelia's bodyguard from now on, you'll have to fix that. The other nobles will insult me. And...

'Was it dry?　You tell that to your enemies?　It's hard to fight with a spear, so you want me to change weapons?

Ugh, that's...

''Of course, no one is that kind. On the other hand, if they find out they're not good at it, they'll happily use their spears. We need to figure out how to counter that opponent. Well then, next time the three of us will come together.

　And Phelia's three guards are standing around me, holding their swords. Why are they doing this, it's because they're bored.

　I've been checking the situation of the mansion and the dead and injured after capturing the intruders, but the only damage to the mansion is the magic marks on the front doorway and the wall I broke down, there were about 10 dead and many injured, but they've already been treated, and once the magic barrier was put up, there was nothing to do.

　It seems that the town wasn't damaged at all, and the townspeople are going to repair it. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them. I heard that Zeke and his friends will be back in a little while.

　So I was free until then, so I decided to move my body, and I think it was Mirmi. He asked me to train, so I'm dealing with him.

'Alright then, I'm going to go, "Curle! Buh-heh!

　I was about to tell Myrmi and the others that I was coming, when something snaked into my face from the sky. It crawled up to my face and tried to wriggle around on my head. It picks me up and pats me on the head.

Good job, Ekla. Where did Hilde go?

　I ask Ekla, and she points her finger at me with a bleep. When I look in that direction, the one pointing at Ekla's finger starts to glow and Hilde-san appears.

'Ray-kun. I've delivered Sylphy and the others to you. I did a little airborne stroll with Ekla afterwards.

　Hilde giggles happily with a giggle. It was good to see him having fun with his father and son in the water. It looks like Ekla had fun too. Just.

Oh, my brother, what is that dragon you're talking about?　I mean, and this beautiful woman who just appeared out of nowhere?

　Phelia, who was watching behind me, comes under me and asks me. Krona nods yes, too. I look around and see that Mirmi and the other maidservants are also surprised, and even Eris is surprised.

　Huh?　I was supposed to have told Dr. Eileen to tell her. I look at Dr. Eileen next to Ellis.

Oh, I forgot.

　And. Eileen laughed and said "Ta-ha". She laughed and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. And when I was about to explain about Ekla and Hilde and the others.

Excuse me. Mistress Ellis, Mistress Eileen, and Master Zeke have returned.

　And the soldiers came. Ellis and Dr. Eileen smiled happily and headed toward the gate. I'll explain later. I'm going to follow behind them.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

Ray. You really helped me out this time. If you and the headmaster and the others hadn't come, we would have been in a pretty dangerous situation.

　Zeke says and bows his head. We are now in the conference room of the mansion. We can all get in here.

　Here are Zeke, Elise, Dr. Eileen, Master, Ms. Hilde, me, Alexia, Ferris, Caro, Aeris, Ekla on my head, Tigris behind me, Phelia, Krona, Chloe, Mr. Merlin, Dorothea, Mirmi and the rest of the guards.

　Everyone else is in their seats except Tigris, Chloe, and Mirmi and the others.

It's a good thing we arrived in time. If we hadn't heard from Tigris, we wouldn't have gotten there in time either.

　I'm going to tell you how we came to be here because of what happened in King's Landing.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　January 4.
　Royal Capital of Nanor

Is Tigris asking for me?

Mm. He has something to tell you about the war.

　It had been three days since Gultas' rebellion. After that, the rebellion stopped with the death of Glutas, and all the soldiers who had been on his side surrendered.

　Originally they would have all been executed for treason, but the soldiers, including the captain's class, all had 20,000 in total. Those soldiers, of course, were originally soldiers of the Nanor Kingdom.

　If they executed all 20,000 of them, their military strength would drop and there would be a backlash from the people, so they only executed the nobles involved, and the soldiers became free labor for six months.

　Well, in the end, this light punishment is because no damage was caused. If the people of King's Landing had been harmed, they wouldn't have been able to finish the job with free labor, as expected. I've heard that food will be served properly.

　Then today, the king had the king's captain check out Grutas's mansion in King's Landing. The leader of the First Order, Marcus, was chosen as the captain, and I followed him. The Glutas soldiers inside rebelled against me, but I captured or killed them all and held them down.

　And the more I looked inside, the more I found out that Glutas was involved in some pretty black things. Not to mention kidnapping and extortion, it seems that he was selling the secret information of the Nanor Kingdom to the Regalia Empire.

　In return for this cooperation, he provided them with a magic sword, and arranged the timing of the war.

　And of course a mansion like this has a basement, where women and others who would have been kidnapped were kept in the dungeons.

　And in one of them

'The Duke of Lambert!　How did it end up here!

　The Knight Commander Marx must have been acquainted with him. He was quite surprised to see a blond man in one of the cells. So this is Tigris' father, the Duke of Lambert? His body looks exhausted, but the intimidation that is unleashed isn't half bad.

''You are, as I recall, a Knight Commander of the Order of Marx. What happened to Grutas?

'Glutas rebelled, but prevented it. During that rebellion, Gurtas died.

Yeah. That idiot.

　Then I rescued the people who had been held in prison, including the Duke of Lambert, but they were all fatigued, and some of them were sick, so I was allowed to use an empty room in the Grutas mansion to treat them.

　That's when I found Tigris' mother. There was also an attendant at her side, and it seemed that Tigris had been held hostage by his father and mother, a double hostage. When the Duke of Lambert saw the wife, he ran to her and checked her condition with his maidservant, who was at his side.

'Martha, how is Milia's condition?'

'Sir!　Are you hurt?!

I'm good. More importantly, where's Millia?

"...the last few days, the healers haven't been able to come, and her condition is only getting worse. We can't let this continue...

　I believe Gultus said that Mrs. Gultus was under a curse. It was a guy named Ains or something, who betrayed Glutas and disappeared with Benjamin.

'Light. Can't you do something about that one with the 'Breaker'?

　I check with the lights at my side. But

"It should not be broken by one who does not know what kind of curse it is. Just.

"Just?

''Master Lei's light magic is level 8, at that level you can use one of the light magic, Purification Magic.''

　...What?　I don't understand what you're saying.

'If it's a level 8 or lower curse, it should be able to be cast as an anti-curse.'

　I can't explain why I'm saying that now, but if it helps, oh well.

　I did as Wright told me and moved closer to the lady's side. The Duke of Lambert looks at me suspiciously and his handmaidens are angry at me to stay away, but I ignore him and approach. Then I put my hand on the lady's head.

"Anticurse.

　As I activate my magic, a light emanates from my hand, and the light envelops Mrs. Claus. And then something like a black blur comes out of Mrs. Claus and disappears. Then.

Uh-huh.

Millia!

Oh, is that you?　I'm so tired of this.

Fool!　You're the one who's a bit of a freak!　Totally!　Utterly!

　Both the Duke and Lady Lambert embraced each other and began to cry. Ugh, if I was shown such a scene, I would cry too. The maidservant is crying.

　Then the Duke and lady Lambert thanked me very much. The maidservants bowed to me until I was on the ground.

　In spite of all this, all the people who were trapped in Glutas's mansion were rescued, and when I returned to the palace, Tigris called me in. What the hell was that?
