What do you mean?　You're leaving the Wayra Empire?

'Ha!　That conclusion doesn't make sense to me. It's easy, I'll eat you and I'll be the emperor.

　Fong Vu's eyes glitter.

　It's the eyes of someone who is planning a subversion.

　But Ruina was blissfully unconcerned.

''Eat me?　Huh, no matter how much of a commander-in-chief you are, you're still going to have internal conflicts.

No, it's not going to happen.

What?

I'm actually finding this stuff really useful, aren't I?

　Fonv takes something out of his pocket.

　However, it's impossible to grasp the substance from Luina's point of view. That's how thin it is. You're going to be able to find out what it is by looking at the figure that Fonv is holding and grasping it as something circular - I guessed it.

'...... no way.'

I mean, no way. This is a slave collar. It was custom-made for the Kingdom of Kuzeera during the recent escalation.

　Fonv turns the collar with his fingers.

　Like a child proudly flaunting that he's got a new toy.

　But Ruina denies it.

'It's unlikely. How much manpower and money do you think they spent to find that item? The new upper echelon of the Kuzela Kingdom and the guild guys who received the request did their best to eliminate it.''

Clicking on ...... is a good idea. It's probably the only one left in the world. The production drawings and production people are in the pig pen or already gone. That's why I'm lucky. I'm just lucky, really.

　'But,' continues Fonv, 'it's a good thing.

'That's lucky enough. The Goddess says, 'I'm going to rule this world! 'I'm to rule the world, she says!　So the first step in that process is to use Omey. With this collar.

'I knew you were confident, but I didn't know you were this arrogant. Even if you put me down, the others won't be silent. I wonder how many of the slaves there really are at the rank of captain or vice-captain who are not aware of my condition as a slave?

　Louina is correct in her reading.

　It's a world full of people who can sense even the slightest discomfort, even if it's not actually as good as Luina's.

'No, that's a bit naive, too. I've noticed.　You said your back hand is calling up the other military chiefs. And the conversations we've been having are just stalling for time, right?

　After reading that much.

　Fonv's smile deepens.

'But that's a shame. The other commanders are being held up by my men. More importantly, I've already bought out a guy who's about to betray us. The Third Army's commander and the Fifth Army's assistant commander are now under my command. I wonder if there are others who have been bought off to take advantage of this chaos?

Oh, boy, do we have a problem. My head is spinning.

'Hahaha!　There will be no surrender. I'm going to put this collar on you.

　Jari, Fonv heads for Ruina.

　On the verge.

　Yui stands between Luina and Fonv.

The first thing you need to do is to run away, Luina-sama. I'm just stalling for time now.

This ain't gonna buy us any time!

Gpfft. ......!

　Footwork to Yui's abdomen.

　You're about to spew vomit, but it's bearable.

　Is it a result of his physique and magical manipulation that he doesn't take his feet off the ground like Sheila does? It's a good idea to buy time for Ruina to escape at will.

'Fonv, wait. It's better not to mess with Yui.''

'Oh?　What does that mean?

''Yui is also an officer of the Weira Empire, but she is also a registered adventurer of the guild. Moreover, he is a rare talent with an S rank. If something were to happen to him, the guild would take appropriate action.

''Ha. That said, the Guild is a world where life and death are the norm.

''But the party Yuy is in has people like Soria, Phil, and Jade in it as well. The guild paid special attention to this party .......

Shut up. I don't care about the guild, I don't care about that bunch of people. I don't care if you have a party or not, they're just a bunch of trash in name only. They're just a bunch of useless scum like Yu.

-- I suddenly realized that the man was standing beside Fonv.

　He didn't even feel a sign, he didn't even speak.

　Fonv's mouth also stopped at the unexpected event.

　A dark-haired man wearing a white mask. The mask has marks where it is cracked and has been clumsily fixed with glue.

　On his shoulder is a young man wearing a pair of glasses.

　The young man is mumbling while reading a book. If you listen to him.

In other words, in magical ethics, brainwashing is when magic changes its nature and becomes a different principle than magic, something even finer than magic, called the magic element, which appears as a granular form of magic and spinal cord ----

　Its mouth never stops.

　Do not take this situation into account.

　But the problem is the masked man.

　Obviously, it was his intention to appear here.

''Teh, you are...''

Was it you who said the Charisma Party was a bunch of useless scum?

'What about ......?'　What are you talking about?

'I don't know anything about it, okay?　But you know what, I heard it's a group of people who are stronger than me. Yeah, so if I beat you, it would mean that the people in the Charisma Party are stronger, right?

　It's a deliberate thing to say, but Fonv felt that he was being asked to withdraw his previous statement.

　Moreover, the area of 'if I defeat you' is a statement that gets on Fonv's nerves at the moment.

　Fonv raises a vein on his forehead.

'......!　That's fine, man. ---- abb!

　It's not what he did.

　It was just the masked man hitting me.

　That's all it was, really. But then Phung Vu dug into the ground.

　Fung Vu's body became the main part of a hole in the ground.
