238 214. Genie War begins




...So this is what it's all about.

 I mutter to myself if I look up at the sky. The sky isn't the usual blue sky, it's stained a blood red. The occasional lightning strike from the clouds floating in the sky, making everyone uneasy.

 It was about a week after they returned from the small island of the divine dragon. Finally, this time has come. Alexia next to me was also anxiously looking at the sky.

''Rei, what is this situation?''

"Alexia. "Alexia, I want General Melia ready for battle at once. Then instruct the population to evacuate.

Okay, okay.

 Alexia left the room immediately. After that, the emergency bell rings and I can see the residents running away. I also leave the room and head to the mansion where the magic circle is located. There is

I'm ready to go!

 And then there was Aeris, who said in a spirited voice. No, it's not just Aeris, but also Ferris, Caro, Helen, Pricia, Krona, Ekra, Kana, Mari-chan, Marlin, and Phelia and the others. And then Alexia comes too, as if she's finished giving instructions.

 I don't want everyone to be on the front lines too much, but that's selfishness on my part.

 We're going to split up into six groups now.

 The first is the sealing of the great gold mine in Eirnolt. This is where Kana and Mari will be headed.

 The second is the sealing of the Great Divine Tree in Forestfalia. For this, Merlin and Phelia, and Ferris will be heading to this one as an assistant. I wanted Phelia to stay behind, but she's reluctant since the Spirit King says she'll be fine.

 The third one is to seal the shrine of the Water Dragon King in Shelia. This is where Tigris is supposed to be heading.

 The fourth is to seal the temple in Arcadia. This is our family home, Caro and Aeris.

 The fifth one is the seal on the magical land of Nanor. This is where the demon god Baron will be coming from, so it'll be me and Alexia.

 The sixth will be everyone who can't fight. Helen, Pricia, Mei and the others will be here, and Haku, Krona and Roy will be there to protect us, as well as Ekla.

 Roughly, the seven demon generals will be coming with transition magic. They're the six of them, minus Dorothea-san, and the Demon God Baron. They will also be divided up to break the seal.

Okay, then. Don't fail to come back. We all have a lot of catching up to do.

 Then one by one I go to hug and kiss them. Aeris, Caro, Helen, Ferris, Pricia, Ekla, Kana, Mari, Merlin, and Krona, in that order, while May and the others just hug.

'Mmmm, I am!

 Alexia next to me is angry. I chuckle and do the same to Alexia. Everyone else is laughing, too. And.

Let's go then!

 We'll move to our respective transference magics. Helen and the others will remain here. I think the basement of this place is safe since we've given it a strong barrier, and since General Melia and the others are here, the demons won't fall behind.

 Then, each of them will go into their own transition magic circle. Then

Master Ray.

 And then I hear a voice. I look at the direction the voice is coming from and there it is.

"Luciana.

 Luciana was standing there. Luciana clasped her hands to her chest as if she were praying, and

Takumi please.

 And he comes with his head down. I think Luciana knows that. That most likely he won't come back. I walk over to Luciana's side and pat her on the head.

'Luciana, you'll have to wait for me.

What?

 It's unlikely, but it's not impossible. I've got that power, so maybe it's possible. Well, I can't say for sure, though.

 And then, Alexia and I jump straight into the transition magic circle. Wait for me, Demon God Baron. I'm going to defeat you for sure.

 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

 Federal Republic of Yirnord

Phew, you made it!

'Yes, Kanamin,'

 Our charge is going to be a big gold mine for Eirnold. We have to meet with President Oberman first. But the soldiers are busy as hell. It's a madhouse. And then...

 Thud, thud, thud!

 And the ground shakes. Then we hear the soldiers shouting that they are attacking us. Mari and I immediately jumped out and grabbed a nearby soldier to assess the situation and asked him where President Oberman was.

 The soldier then guided us to President Oberman. President Oberman was at the front lines. President Oberman was in the front line.

President Oberman. It's been a long time.

Oh, Kana and Mari have come a long way.

So what's the situation?

Yeah, they're attacking us. And there's a huge, shifting magic circle. There it is.

 President Oberman pointed to a horde of demons. Various kinds of demons were attacking us in a line. Then the seven demon generals here. When I thought that.

Lilith.

 And then a voice comes from behind me. When I turn around, I see a one-armed beauty, Dorothea, the former Seven Demon Generals, standing there. Will she join the battle here too? She just checked and headed for the front line.

'Mari. Let's go too.

Yeah, we'll do our best, Kanamin.

'Of course you will. I'm definitely going to survive and live a lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey life with my cousin! I'll be with Mari then, too!

 Mari nodded at my statement while her face turned red. I'll definitely survive!
