Zaku traced the outline of the castle with his pen.

"This castle is a bit peculiar. It has no windows of any kind to prevent enemies from entering. This means that there are only three ways out of here. You can use the spot, go out the front door on the first floor, or jump off the roof.

"I see. ......

　I nodded, and he began to explain the three ways, holding up one finger at a time.

"The first one. The first is to use a spot to escape, but this is not practical. The first is to use a spot to escape, but this is not practical. The Thirteen Knights of the Oracle may be able to find it, but ...... ordinary members like me are not even told where it is. It would be impossible to find a suitable spot in this large castle of Velious.

"Indeed it is, .......

　It's only a couple of hours before the wedding ceremony starts.
　We don't have time to look for a spot.

"Then the second thing. The second way is to go out from the main entrance on the first floor. ...... I must say, this is also difficult. At any rate, at the main entrance, there is a post office that controls the entry and exit of the castle. If there are six unfamiliar faces in a group, they will be suspected no matter what. Even if they were to leave the castle one by one, the plan would be over once ...... one of them was discovered.

"That's .......

　It seems that escaping from Belios Castle is going to be very difficult after all.

"Finally, the third thing. The third and final option is to escape from the rooftop, which is the most practical and safest option.

　Zaku said, tapping the rooftop portion of the floor plan.

The higher up you go in Belios Castle, the less security you'll have. There's no garrison on the roof to control access, and not many people bother to show up. --You're swordsmen who've infiltrated the empire of Roneria. I'm sure you're not so soft that jumping off the 20th floor won't help you.

Yes, of course.

　I have darkness, and Leah and Rose have the ability to strengthen their bodies.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　When I was thinking about it.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm thinking, "......, but isn't that a little dangerous?

"Yes, Leah is right. Isn't the Emperor Barrel-Ronelia on the top floor?

　Leah and Rose asked the question, and Zak shook his head at the same time.

Don't worry about that. The emperor is not on the top floor, but deep underground in this castle.

"'Deep underground' ......?

　Both of them nodded their heads at the unexpected reply.

"Hmm. It is rumored that they perform rituals using captured phantoms and their hosts. ....... I'm sure you'll be fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

　I'm sure you're wondering what kind of rituals are being performed, but ...... rescuing the chairman is the top priority right now.

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

But ....... I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of trouble with the whole thing.

"...... What do you mean?

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. It is not for nothing that the four knights of the emperor are not here.

"Oh, really?

　If that information is true, now might be a golden opportunity.

"Well, we don't have much time. Let's go!

　Zaku said, "I'll be praying for a good outcome! Zaku gave a thumbs up.

No thanks to .......

"Haha, we're enemies!　No need to thank me, of course!　But sometimes I think. Allen ...... sometimes I wonder if I'll ever swing a sword with you.

I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen.

　I'm not going to be swinging a sword with the Kuro Organization, even if the heavens and earth were turned upside down.

You never know what life has in store for you!　I never dreamed that I would go from being a holy knight to joining the Kuro Organization!

　Zak said, smiling happily to himself.

"See you at ....... Thanks for all your help.

"Oh, I'll see you around, 'Sparkling Gemstone'!

　And so, after parting with Zaku, we put on our black cloaks and headed for the roof of Belios Castle.
