What the hell is this...

　We had come to get Cleena's blessing to take Mirez to the imperial capital, but there was a scene we hadn't expected to see.

　Crumbling buildings. Crumbling buildings. Burnt flowers. Women lying on the ground. Smoke rose up in some places, and we could hear women screaming inside.

　It's not the mark of our rampage. It's something that happened after we shifted. Mirez ran straight into town.

''Well what happened?''

'Mostly predictable, but we'll go too. We've got to get the rest of us together and treat them.

　Me and Aeris enter the town too. It's a little awkward for me, a man, to enter, but now is not the time to talk about it.

　As we proceed through the town, I find Mirez holding a fallen girl in his arms. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a good time. I'm going to treat her with water magic.

You. What the hell happened to you?

''Ugh, mi, mi-less-sama I'm sorry. The Imperials attacked us while Master Mirez was away and took my sisters away!

　........I knew it. I only got a glimpse of them, but the women here were all beautiful. He must have been aiming for it all along. Has he been looking for an opening where Mirez wasn't present all along?

　When Mirez finished listening to the girls, he ran straight to the white one. This is a trap, and Mirez must know that this is a trap. But she couldn't seem to hold back in order to save something important.

''What do you do, Ray?''

　Aeris asks, even though you know what I'm going to say. You've already taken the Mayfly out of your item ring and put it on your hip.

It's obvious. This is what happened originally because I took Mirez with me. It's not unrelated.

　I activated Area Heal to cover the town. This will help the wounded women recover.

　Aeris and I follow Mirez to the castle. With the speed of me and Aeris' feet, it won't take us more than five minutes. As we get closer to the castle, we hear a roar. It must be Mirez rioting.

　There are no soldiers at the castle gates, and the gates are still open. Did Mirez smash it down?　Well, it's good because it's easy to proceed.

　I headed towards the square, and there, just like when I was fighting Aeris, was Mirez, who had activated an artifact and was clothed in full body armor. He was there, but he couldn't move and was only receiving the magic that the Imperial soldiers were releasing.

　Beyond the soldiers, a poorly dressed, ugly man was watching the scene with a grin and a sickening smile. Around the man are the three men who were at the front of the Imperial soldiers when they returned.

　And in front of the man, the women who would have been in the city are tied up and forced to crawl down in front of him.

　Swords were held at the throats of the women. Is it because of this that Mirez can't move? There are about a thousand soldiers. Nearly half of them are releasing magic to stop Mirez's movements.

''Ho ho ho!　Crawl down now and become my woman and I'll let these guys go!

　Ah, the typical scumbag. If you're a man, don't make those lame threats and go head-to-head with him. It's so lame.

　We've got to save those ladies first. I'll activate the transference. I jump to the soldiers who are holding their swords to the women's throats.

　The soldier is surprised to see me suddenly appear in front of him, but I grab him by the face and throw him at the man who is slumped in the chair.

　Bang!

　And a soldier is played by something in front of the man. Is he putting up a barrier?　And before the man can say anything else, the temperature in the square rises quickly. It's too hot. The reason for that is.

Let's go!　Cardinal Empress, Cardinal Empress!

　Before I knew it, I had raised my fire magic to level 10 because of Aeris' technique. Her body is covered in red lotus flames and can change shape at will. It was similar to his master's technique.

''Burst!''

　Aeris turns a hand towards each of them and releases several giant balls of fire. What had been a badass play about teasing Mirez one way or the other earlier, instantly turned into a heroic tale of Aeris taking on the country to save the captured women.

　All right, I'll take this opportunity to get rid of the soldiers who are holding the women to their swords. Oh, ho-ho-ho.

What are you doing?　Go ahead and shoot that woman down!

'But it all burned down before our attack could reach them!

　It's hard to break through the barrier of Aeris' hot flames. They'd be burned before they could reach it.

　Aeris fires one fireball after another at the soldiers who were aiming at Mirez. The castle's square is a whirlwind of a-hazards. And then Mirez, who has been freed, beats up the soldiers who were nearby. The soldiers run away one by one without the ability to take on an ordinary soldier.

　The freed women also began to attack back, capturing the weapons and artifacts that the soldiers were using. It's hard to put into words, but it's terrifying.

''Save your sisters!

Wahhhh!

　

　The soldiers are being knocked down one way or another as Aeris and Mirez go on a tremendous rampage. The three at the top have been hit by Aeris's fireball before I knew it and have been knocked unconscious.......Huh?　Is this possibly a mutiny?

　The soldiers are either knocked down or run away and are gone, entering the castle one by one, with Mirez in the lead. An explosion rings out that shakes the castle.

　Then, one by one, men come out of the castle. For some reason, the women don't come out, which is a strange phenomenon. And then a ridiculous call comes from inside the castle.

'....Did we go a little too far?

Yeah, I've changed countries.

　The outrageous call coming from inside the castle was "Empress Mirez".
