In the middle of the night, the rebel positions were disturbed by the sudden disturbance.

　Of course.for there had been some disturbance, but the quarrel between adventurers, mercenaries, and soldiers was not so much of a disturbance.

　In particular, the leaders of the rebel group were upset to hear the news.

　It was a disturbance in a tent where the soble, which is used by Kabazid, who is considered to be the biggest enemy of the rebels, was put under house arrest.

　Ordinary soldiers are not informed of what is there.

　That's why I was a little surprised by the disturbance, but I didn't think it was that serious.

"Oh, what's going on? What's wrong with the captured Sobul? Is the suppression of the rioters not over yet?"

　In the magic tent, which is the headquarters of the rebel army, the angry voices of the nobility.

　It was a soldier who came to report the situation.

　For a soldier who was yelled at in a half-hurried manner, it was nothing more than bad luck.

"Calm down, what happens if we get upset here?Now, instead of shouting at the soldiers, we should be more calm and check the truth."

"I know! But...It's that Sobble!? If he goes back, there's no doubt that the damage will increase in the future."

"...how strange.The place must have been on high alert, with a very skilled soldier on guard... most of them killed, and still more violent? What do you think, Theorem?"

　Theorem, who was looked at by the aristocrats, shook his head slightly.

　It is already clear that the attackers are not just a little skilled.

　The camp where Sobul was under house arrest was also equipped with a demon soldier as a bodyguard.

　If the demon soldier is still alive, there is no such commotion.

　In other words, it is unclear whether the demon soldier is dead, unconscious, or for some other reason, but he is undoubtedly incapacitated.

(Was there an enemy who was skilled enough to beat the demon soldier in this position? It wasn't interesting in many ways, but was it still good that Sobre was the one who touched it?If this is your Highness Mercurio... wait)

　Theorem, relieved of his lord's safety, suddenly realizes that Vyhela, another important person who should have been in this tent until just now, is missing.

　Looking around in a hurry, Vihera is not the only one who disappears.Even Gurgast's appearance has disappeared.

"My Highness, Mercurio.Mr. Vyhela and the Earl of Obrisin?"

"Huh? I don't think so.Well, it's about those two.You can guess where we're headed, can you?"

　Mercurio shrugs his shoulders, and even Theorem can only nod.

　Yes, it's definitely as easy as predicting where it went.The fact that the battle is not over yet means that it has definitely been prolonged, meaning that there is a high possibility that there will be a strong enemy.

　And the two who like to fight disappeared.

　When asked what this means, the answer is fixed.

"Your Highness Mercurio, if I had known it, I would have liked you to stop.Do you understand that they are irreplaceable to us?"

"Yes, but it's the two of them. There's no stopping.There is a possibility that he will run away as much as he has stopped."

"Oh, that's..."

　I can't say no to Mercurio's words.

　In fact, Theorem predicted the same.

　Even so, there is no way that I can nod.

"Don't worry."

　Before Theorem says anything, Mercurio opens his mouth again and says so.

"These two are strong.That's so much that I can't believe that those around me can win anything, no matter how strong they are now."

"That's... true, but just in case."

"And Ray is not here now.I guess you're worried about that."

　It's been less than ten days since Ray disappeared.In other words, it is frustrating for Theorem to nod to Mercurio's words that the rebels would have been inevitable without Ray.

　But Mercurio immediately changed his expression and smiled.

"But I guess what I'm looking forward to the most is fighting.I don't know what kind of people are going wild, but I think they've already been suppressed by now."

　Avoids the blow of a long sword aimed at you by twisting your body forward.

　and through it he punched out his jaw sharply, but...

"Oh, my gosh.

　Vihera tilts her head to the feel of her fist.

　Of course, the attack was originally powerful enough to kill the other person's consciousness with a single stroke, but the other person seemed completely unaffected and calm.

"Was it shallow? No, the feel of my fist wasn't that light... then!"

　Avoiding the blow of the long sword, which is thrown down on you again, he jumps into the opponent's pocket.

　Instead of hitting him like that, he gently touched his opponent's torso...

"Huh!"

　With a short exhaled voice, the opponent's movement stops and collapses to the ground.

　An exorcist, a technique created by Vihera to inject his magical powers into the other person and destroy them from within.

　The body was already made to be meaningless with just one blow that shook the tip of the chin, but it could not be helped if most of the internal organs were destroyed.

"I don't think it's immortality or anything like that, though I don't feel any light of reason in my eyes."

"Well, it is not interesting to fight against these people at all.Their strength is not acquired through physical training, but false strength."

　Vihera nods to Gurgast's words as he retreated uncomfortably.

"That's true.When I fight like this, I don't feel the other person's will. Is it just instinctive?"

"It would be rude to say that to monsters and wild beasts."

"It may be so,"

　The two look at each other as they slowly approach them and exchange words.

　It's true that he's not an interesting opponent to fight with, but it's true that the eerie opponent in front of him is out of control of the soldiers around him.

　A skilled soldier, knight, adventurer or mercenary could deal with it, but he was not the kind of man who could manage it unharmed.

"Undead? ... No, it's not!"

　The tip of the spear is cut off with the claws created on the back of the hand and goes into the pocket.

　Normally, if you get close to him like this, he'll react in some way, but he doesn't show that at all.

　For Vihera, they are no longer enemies if they know how to deal with it.

　It is the same for Gurgast, who slaughtered enemies almost unilaterally.

　From there, it was early until the battle was over.

　The cheering soldiers came, but the battle ended without doing anything.

"... well, I wonder where the Sobble that was here disappeared."

　Enemy lying on the ground... Vyhela mutters as she looks at the dolls Moura left behind.It has been confirmed that Sobul is no longer in the tent, and there is no body of Sobul even lying on the ground.

"In other words, he ran away,"

　Vihera nods to Gurgast's words.

"Well, I suppose this is the result of someone coming to my rescue. ... Hurry up and look around the position.If things go well, I may not have escaped outside yet."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!"

　While many of his fellow soldiers are killed, the soldiers who are able to survive by the relief of Vihera and Gurgasto quickly salute and leave.

　Vihera opens her mouth, seeing off the soldier.

"...well, I don't think it's going to be useful.

　It was Gurgast who heard the words, but he didn't say anything.

　It is true that there is little chance of finding it, but we cannot neglect it.

　Or it is possible that they are still in the position because of some mistake.

(I don't think it's possible though)

　Vyhela looks at the dead body lying on the ground, sighing.

　Not only dolls, but also soldiers who protected them.

　When Vihera rushed to the scene, the body of a demon soldier was also found at a distance.

　Of course, demon soldiers are still not something to show off.

　There were few people watching because everyone was so focused on the disturbance that was happening in the tent, but there are still a few who saw the bodies of the demon soldiers.

　He ordered a knight nearby to carry the body out without anyone finding it, but it is doubtful how much it was protected.

(An opponent who can kill a demon soldier?If possible, I'd like to fight.)

　The night sky was so cloudless as to say that such a commotion was nothing serious.

　I think so as I see a round, big moon shining in the night sky.

　Reports that some had forced their way through the entrance of the camp were delivered under Vyhela about ten minutes later.

"Ugh!"

　Moura, Sistoy, and Sobre were riding desperately toward the imperial capital under such a bright night sky that they didn't need lights.　

　Among them, Sistoy, who was leading the way, suddenly felt a chill in his spine and cried out.

　As a line, two people are running side by side, Sistoy at the front and Moula and Sobul at the back.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

　He runs right behind him, and probably noticed his partner's abnormality because he's known Sistoy for a long time, so he calls out from the top of the horse running at full speed.

No, it's nothing.I just had a bad feeling!"

　As long as the horses are running at full speed, the only way to reach their voices is to shout at each other.

　For Sobul, who is running next to Moula, I often felt that he shouldn't do such a thing.

　Of course, he can scream while running at full speed.However, if you do that, you will probably bite your tongue, and I don't want to do that in the current situation.

　However, as long as I am saved by these two, I have no objection.

　It was said that he did not know by whom he had been asked to rescue him, but as long as he was told to bring him alive, he thought it would be better than being captured by the rebels.

"Moura, it's about time you slowed down your horse."

　With the words, the horse that was running at full speed slows down.

　Moula and Sobul, who naturally run behind the system toy, slow down the horse, but Moula opens her mouth discontentedly.

"Hey, is it okay? Isn't there a pursuer from the rebel position? If you catch up, you won't have a chance.

　No matter how strong the system is, it is not invincible.I don't have any dolls anymore, and Sobre is not that good at physical activity itself.

I know.But horses are the limit."

　In Sistoy's words, Mula glances at the horse.

　It is true that he is blowing bubbles from his mouth, and if he continues to run as fast as he can, he will soon collapse.

　Now that he understands this, Moura can't help but understand what Systoy said.

"But where are you going to rest? If you rest badly on the road, you'll surely be caught by the chase force."

"It's over there. For some reason, I think the back of that forest is better."

Yes, I understand.Then let's do that."

"Wait a minute."

　Naturally, it was Sobre who put a stop to the conversation between Mula and System Toy.

　This is because, for some reason, he chose a place to hide, but Moura couldn't believe that he would follow it without hesitation.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"No, that's not the case, but... why do you decide where to hide?"

"Yes, I can trust Systoy's intuition.And you know the horse won't hold like this? If you have to rest after all, it's safer to hide in the forest."

"That's... I'm sure it is."

　I understand why you're talking.

　Still, it was surprising and unwilling for Sobre to decide by intuition for no reason.

　Still, as long as Sobul is in a position to be protected by the two in front of him, he has no choice but to follow his words.

　It takes about half an hour to get into the forest.Hearing the sound of several cavalry running along the highway, they were relieved that they had passed by their supposed pursuit force.

　...but Sobble was still not convinced.
