Lord Urdanosuke. I have just received word from Lord Everith in King's Landing.
　The princess has returned to King's Landing.
"Is that so?

　Udanosuke bowed repeatedly to the caller in accordance with the samurai etiquette he had learned from his master before his death.
　The caller was Alastor from the rear command post.

　The main force, including the elite undead soldiers and the second meat tank, had reached the foot of the city wall, where not even an arrow was flying.
　The city had already been settled, but there was still the task of searching for Gislain, who had gone into hiding, and possibly assisting Rene.

　Well, since Rene suddenly disappeared without even sending any telekinetic instructions, both the main team and Alastor were blown away.
　It seems that a few callers were relayed by the "communication soldiers" that were left behind from the royal capital to Teiracaines, and a communication was sent from Everis in the royal capital to Alastor.

"So what do we do now?
I'm not going to change my mind.
　We're going to search for the crown prince candidate, Jisran. We can't let him go.
"Yes, sir.

　There were doubts about Rene's sudden action, but that was no reason to stop his hands and feet.
　The Lord may need to be admonished at times, but this is not a breach of loyalty.
　All of the undead created by René's magic are absolutely loyal to him.
　They recognize that they are Rene's personal property and are willing to devote everything to him until the moment their existence comes to an end. Of course, as Rene's property, it is a prerequisite that he should not waste his own money.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It was then that Udanosuke realized.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　A knight was coming towards him through the open city gate.
　The crest of the armor he wears is that of a knight who is a subordinate of the Earl of Keeley.
　But for some reason, his arms, from the shoulders down, were bare, with no armor or clothing on.

　He wore a sword at his waist, but his hands were bare.
　Many swords and spears were pointed at the knight as he walked alone towards the hordes of undead.
　And the knight...

I'm not sure what to do. Find out what's going on at .......
"Takewafu......!

　Udanosuke interrupted Alastor's transmission with a swear word.

　Strange things were happening.
　The knight's arms seemed to have enlarged, and his hands transformed into a giant agito with a long neck like a worm.
　It was white and clothed with a strange holy air.

　With his arms, the knight began to devour the undead at random.
　Like a snake swallowing its prey, the arms (or was it the neck? I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.

You have to ...... reduce ...... the number of ...... minions of the "Rose of Hell" .......
　You can win ....... You can win ....... You can win .......
　The knight snarled, "I've got to ............

　The knight had a snarling, twisted smile on his face.

"...... Jisuran...... Kateru............!

　The armor popped off and the knight's silhouette swelled into disorder.

　The two-headed dragon was revealed, its pure white flesh rotting halfway.

　The two-headed dragon appeared.

　Everis was looking out the window of his workshop with his magic binoculars, looking outside the city walls.

　There was a hole in the dungeon on the outer edge of the wall, as if a mole had dug it.
　It was the result of Rene, a silvery wyvern zombie, chasing after intruders and digging.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what happened.
　The princess's form is untested, so I don't know how much damage the trap will do.

　Everis chuckled to himself.
　Rene suddenly stopped digging and flew outside with his troops.
　Apparently, the intruders were able to escape because the anti-magic protection of the entire dungeon was turned off.

　However, in the short time between when the anti-magic defenses were turned off and when the intruders escaped, Everis was able to grasp the situation to some extent.

"...... Two dead. There are three people on the run,......, though they've already disappeared. It's only a matter of time.

　Everis had made sure that the alarm on the "high kill box" he had given to Rene would also go off on him, just in case.
　So we know that the intruder touched the box and that's why Rene came back.

　However, Everith does not know what Rene hid in the box.
　In fact, Everis doesn't even know that Rene hid the box in that place. If he had consulted her, she would have been able to find a better place to hide it, but apparently Rene wanted to keep it a secret.
　Everis was watching Rene fly away with a feeling of incomprehension as to why things had turned out the way they had.

　Then a caller came in, and Everith picked up the bill that was tucked into the side of his pants, which were made of very little fabric.

Hello? Where are you, Sir Gerald?
"...... The Gisslans have attacked the main force. We're returning fire, but the damage is extensive.

　I don't want to say I can't believe my ears, but Everis raises an eyebrow.

What?　I don't know.
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
　I'm sure you're not the only one who's had it.
"That's right. If a holy beast eats an undead lump of evil, it will have a stomach ache.
"But you've regained your fighting ability, albeit temporarily.

　Everis looked up at the night sky in disgust.

I'm not going to lose Udanosuke or the Blue Silver Bond here.
　Can you handle it in the field?　...... You can't!　You came all this way to contact me!　Oh no!


　All right, use Meat Tank Number Two (Hilbert) as a shield and hold out for three minutes!　You can use that one up!
　And call Tracy!　You're close, right?
"I'm stuck.
"The ...... princess is ....... If I talk to her now, she'll kill me too.

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the following tips to help you get the most out of your trip.

"Well, you know, a good witch should be working behind the scenes with a glass of wine in her hand.
　I can't wait to get a competent minion to go to bat for me in times like this. I want a beautiful, aesthetic boy!

　Everis was preparing himself with a gust of wind while complaining.
　He put on things that came from all over the room, which was a pile of junk.
　A long, jeweled glove, a basket with gears and steam vents sticking out of it, a belt with a lot of pouches, a scarf with what looked like a magic circle stitched all over it.

　As he ran out of the workshop without closing the door, Everis saw a bloody maid running towards him.

"Master Everisse, what's ......?
"Miallanze!　Can you get up yet?

　It was Mehranze, who was maturing in the basement.
　She had short, lustrous black hair and pointy, triangular ears. Her pupils were round and her eyes were dark.
　Her originally pale complexion had turned bloodless and snowy, showing the marks of the blood she had vomited. Her conventional maid's uniform was stained here and there with her own blood.

I've decided this is not the time for a vacation.
　We heard screams in the basement a while ago, so we assumed that the princess had left in an emergency. ......
"Oh, ......, I see. It's close, isn't it?

　The room where Rene's leftover machine is kept is not too far from the lightless cell where Miaranse was holed up.
　It seems that Miarandze also noticed something wrong with the girl when she screamed when Rene possessed her body.

I don't know what it is, but it seems that the intruders to the capital have opened the princess's precious treasure chest.
　It's okay, though, because the princess is mobilizing all the guards in the capital to track them down. Now that the princess is back, Teiracainee's in a bit of trouble.
　If we don't do something about it, the main force might be taken out, so I'm going to help.

　Everis explained quickly and was about to drive away, but then he braked.

　He looked for any sign of a startled and confused Miaranse.
　The quantity and quality of the evil spirit on his body indicated how much power he had.

　Miaranse was an amateur who had just begun to learn the art of fighting. And that hasn't changed, but the presence she gives off has changed.
　The pressure was different. She was different.
　She's a better vampire than I thought. She's still in her infancy, but if she grows up, she might be good enough to be a leader in the Demon King's army.

　Everis immediately weighed the risk of taking Miarelanze, an amateur fighter, against his usefulness as a fighting force and gave his answer.

If you're coming with me, I'll be very relieved.
　I'm sorry I have to work so early in the day, but can you come to ......?　Miaranse.
"If I can fight for the princess, then I am happy.
Good. I'll go protect the princess's precious pawn.

　The back of the maid's uniform was torn roughly, and the wings of the membrane that grew from it swayed along with the black cat tail.
