"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 儂Well... this is how you treat the Levisor family... Mr. Hou, I'll never forgive you." I'll be sure to know about this courtesy at a later date."

　The Silva and Levisor collided, and Schaffner, who could not resist and was overwhelmingly swallowed, still escaped without being captured by the Silva.
　The escape was due to the presence of loyalists who had served the Levisor family for generations, but their men are no longer in sight.
　This is because each of them became a trap to distract the Silwa family in order to escape Schaffner.
　But for Schaffner, he's serving himself, so it's only natural that he can do that. No, the defeat of the Silwa family itself had all been replaced by the cowardice of their men.

"They're themselves," It's only natural to let her go, but no one is going to go with her. When the matter is settled, I must order you to discipline yourself again from that nature."

　a tropical night that makes one sweat just by walking The sky was covered by clouds that would normally hide even the moon that illuminated the night sky, and the heat and humidity were also causing Schaffner to lose his strength.
　Originally, I was supposed to be relaxing in a house with magic items that emit cold air. Why is it moving around in such hot and humid weather as this way, worrying about people's eyes.
　Isn't this like a defeated soldier in the war?
　He would never admit it because of his high self-importance, but whether he would or would not admit it, Schaffner's situation was nothing but a defeated soldier.

`Well, well... just a little more,'

　I force my hands to wipe the sweat from my forehead in the dark of the night.
　He had been hiding in one of his hiding places after he had escaped from the Levisor family, and when he had given his reward to a bosque who had behaved disrespectfully to himself, he had escaped from his hiding place to this point in the darkness of the night.
　Again, he would never have acknowledged it, but there is no doubt that he was worried about hiding alone.

"A little more... near the Marcher family." Look... look, young Silwa's young man."

　Fortunately for Schaffner, who is breathing his way to his destination, the Maaschel family, many of the inhabitants of Egzil would have stayed in their homes at night after a dispute between the Silwa and Levisor families broke out this afternoon.
　Of course not everyone is there, and some people are having a party at bars as if it doesn't matter. However, relatively few people were out in the city, and luckily the moon was hidden in the clouds, and the Silwa family was unable to find its pursuers and continued to head towards their destination, the Marcher family.
　I would never have acknowledged Schaffner's bloated pride, but he went on in a dark place, frightened as if he were a prey pursued by carnivores, and in a place where there was no light in it."

"Waluidesga, Sonohendetta mattekda rhino."

　a start
　A voice that comes from behind, but is not human, pauses for a moment, and turns around at an ageless rate the next moment.
　Schaffner himself has little idea of combat, and he only trains on the basics. These days, they tend to neglect their basic training, and their current quick movements were purely due to fear.
　At any rate, the only thing behind Schaffner's gaze is darkness, and he looks around in a hurry and screams as if to mislead the terror that has sprung up from inside him.

"Oh, who! Knowing that 儂 was the head of the Levisor family?"
"Oshizukan negaimasu," "If you don't have any trouble, it's because you don't have any trouble."

　As always, the voice that comes out of the darkness is hard to hear.
　Yes, at least when I realized that it was not a voice uttered by human beings, and the fear which I had managed to suppress exploded, and I was about to run away, calling in response to the impulse which had sprung out of my mind."

"Ginger's ant," The master's Maley is the only one."
"What!"

　A voice which had been heard from the depths of darkness, suddenly came to my ears... in the next moment, Schaffner's consciousness was swallowed by darkness and collapsed to the ground.
　Next to the old man lying on the ground covered with dust, there is a figure of a small doll about 30 cm tall, and when he raises his hand slightly toward the darkness, a doll about 2 meters in size appears and he holds up the Shaffner lying on the ground.

"Mattak, the master palm is a good thing."

　The 30cm doll shrugged its shoulders as small as a human being and turned its head towards the doll standing beside it, which was over 2m in size.

"Triaez, Master Nomaleidorinico to Hasmeralemasita. "Sasok Modori Masho
「……」

　The two-meter-long doll nods silently and heads straight to the residence where the master, whom she adores, awaits, so as not to be noticed by the Silwa family, who are watching around the Marcher family.





"...huh? Here... 儂 is for sure... it hurts! What's going on here!"

　When Schaffner wakes up, he finds himself lying on the hard ground, not on a bed or sofa, and rushes to his feet.
　At the same time as I hear a jingling sound, I feel a cold sensation on my ankle.
　When I turned my gaze over there, it was an unexpected but in a way as expected.
　In other words, the ankles connected to your ankles and the chains extending from there.
　Furthermore, the tip of the chain connects to the room... more precisely to a metal ring embedded in a corner of what appears to be a cobbled prison.

"What is it? 儂 is... 儂 is coming near the Maaschel family, if I remember correctly..."

　Recalling memories of his days before he fainted, he soon took a small breath away.

"Well, if you think you heard a strange voice..."
"Oh, that's a strange voice," Could you tell me what kind of voice you have?"
"The pronunciation is human language... Who is it?"

　turn one's gaze to the voice that suddenly came to one's ear
　a figure standing across the entrance to the prison where Schaffner is confined
　It's so unnatural that even though I know there are people there, I don't know if they really are there.
　a person whose face is invisible to the light that dimly shines around the prison
　When I looked around the moment I woke up, it definitely didn't exist. But I didn't hear a single sound of footsteps, and I found a figure there.

"You can certainly use this robe in its own way," but it is a slight drawback that a little movement of one's body will soon lose its effect."

　As she said so, she held her robe in her hand and was illuminated by the light around her, a middle-aged woman in her 40s with many jewels all over her body. hair ornaments, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets Other than that, I wore a variety of jewelry accessories.
　Schaffner immediately recognized who it was. for he was one of those who had ruled with Egzil for decades, and at the same time he was trying to ask for help -- in Schaffner's consciousness, to help him.

"Puri!"
"Yes. Long time no see, Mr. Schaffner. How are you?"
"It's no good! Take this chain off and get out of here! Do you understand who you are impersonating?"

　Shaffner screams with a bright red face, but Pri watches the ring on her finger lovingly, ignoring it.
　He never turned his eyes to Schaffner... he opened his mouth, gazing at the ring enrapturedly, as if it were not even worth looking at.

"Yes, of course I understand," You're a fool who made an experiment with a magic stone to create an abnormal species, and then attacked the Silwa family, who moved to find it?"
"Why, my dear fellow... playful mouth to this son, the head of the Levisor family!"

　Pri giggles at the remark.
　a smile that is a mixture of smiles and ridicule when one sees an interesting performance
　Because of his bloated self-esteem, Schaffner can't stand his contempt for him and screams.

"What's wrong with you? It's mostly the Marcher's hands who attacked the Silva's warehouse! 儂 is only involved in it said.
"Oh, my God, I still only have that much information. No, that's probably why you were chosen. Well, what should I tell you first? Well, from now on."Again, a smile on his lips -- a malicious smile -- begins to giggle and open his mouth.

"The position of the head of the Levisor family, which you have kept so far, is no longer yours?"
"...what?"
"Bosque has made Cardia the new head of the Levisor family,"
"Stupid!"

　shout reflexively at Pri's words
　It was no wonder as a Schaffner that the names of men of his own blood, but who recognized him as mediocre and useless, appeared.

"Do you think that such selfishness... will be tolerated?"
"Yes, of course. Not only the Silwa family, but also the head of the Maaschel family, agreed. There are no procedural problems."
"Oh! Oh, don't be silly! You're Silwa's...!"

　He screamed so far with anger, and then gasped if he had come up with something in the middle of the words.

"Have you, by any chance, been in league with the Silwa family from the very beginning, in order to control the Levisor family among you and others?"
"...what?"

　I was told something unexpected. a blank look on one's face as if one had been completely surprised
　The next moment, however, he laughs, holding his mouth as if he can't stand it any longer.

"Uh... hahaha, I see." It's no use thinking so from your point of view. It was a pity, though. The answer is... bring him here."
"Hi, master".

　You hear voices before you faint, as if a non-human was forcing you to speak, and in a few minutes the door of the prison room opens.

"Excuse me. I've heard you call me."
"Yes, he seems to have a strange misunderstanding. I'm going to teach you about reality. Hey, Schaffner. You know him, don'
"...why, why...why are you there, Oriqueur?"

　a person called Oriqueur The man was supposed to have joined hands with him as an envoy of the Holy Light until only a few days ago.
　a man who is behind the doctrine of the Holy Light and who has held important posts so far
　But even though Schaffner stared at him with redness, Oriqueur seemed to be particularly concerned... no, he looked at Pri with a sigh of annoyance.

"You don't have to go out of your way to tell me about myself,"
"Unfortunately, your relationship needs to be properly cut off. Besides, it would be more convenient for him to have hatred in his heart, if it were to be used as an experimental material."

　Schaffner's face turns more and more red with anger at the conversation in front of him.

"Oricure... were you thinking of a trap?"
"It's not the case that I was plotting." You've got to get rid of all the useless tools, haven't you?"
"Tool... You call it a tool! You're governing Egidil, you know!"

　If hate can kill people, Schaffner glares at the two in front of him with anger that could kill them a few times... no, dozens of times.
　But nothing more could be done by the imprisoned and chained Schaffner.
　If there was anything I could do, it would only build up hatred for the two people in front of me.
　In the conversation between Pri and Oriqueur, knowing that... that was what they wanted, Schaffner couldn't contain the anger from within him.
