The news about the new invasion by the demons ca not from one of the Fokalore patrols dispatched at the borders with Vichy and the Wastelands, but was brought in by Vichys refugees who managed to escape.
At first it was considered to be outdated news due to refugees having been on the run all the ti, especially as any ntion of a demon invasion was also missing in the regular reports.
In other words, that ans the demon army didnt co from the Wastelands, but suddenly appeared inside Vichy. (Caim)
Caim, who checked the report drawn up by Paryuu, orally reported to Alyssa who is buried under a mountain of docunts after having taken over the office forrly used by Hifumi. In short, what he wanted to tell her was to make a move imdiately.
How many troops do they have? (Alyssa)
Their scale is still unknown, but going by the number of refugees flowing in, its likely that they are steadily occupying cities opposite of the border touching with Orsongrande and Horant. Since it looks like the demons are also eliminating the rampaging soldiers of Pyursang, it beca easier to deal with that side. (Caim)
Apparently there were refugees who witnessed the demons killing reinforced soldiers.
The neatly summarized report was a splendid writing that had no places that required corrections by Caim and amply showed the abilities of Paryu. In addition, usually such docunts, which appealed for an increased number of goods and personnel to be sent, had a lot darker emotions put into them, but in Paryus report sothing like that couldnt be found at all, allowing for it to be passed around to staff mbers as material list without any changes.
And as matter of fact, Caim reproduced it without a single adjustnt or supplent, and handed it over to Alyssa. He considered it to be just the right docunt to practise how to read reports.
Since theres an increase in the number of refugees, Paryu has requested goods and in addition personnel for defense duties. According to her estimation, there will probably be contact with the demons in less than 10 days. I share the sa opinion. (Caim)
It seed that Vichy as group of city-states had already ceased to function. Loud requests for assistance started to flow in not from the central committee, but from the various cities close to Fokalore. But, in accordance with Hifumis order, they officially gave the reason On top of instructing them to calmly watch the country, they should rely on the central committee first. Alyssa adopted that stance as well.
What shall we do? (Caim)
Although Caim inquired expressionlessly and indifferently, one country on the other side of the border is being overrun by demons. Considering Fokalore, it was a danger affecting the existence of the territory.
Given that Viine understood that as well, she trembled while looking at the report.
Increase the number of personnel or rather, we will send the entire army. I will go as well. I will also take Pruflas-san and the other dwarves along. Prepare a shuttle service with rail cars since we will use all those who are useful for the construction of a defense base. (Alyssa)
Once she returned the docunt to Caim, who was swiftly noting down her instructions, Alyssa continued,
Im sure he intended for to look after this territory and noble title. Soday the ti will co when Hifumi will co back, and then I will be scolded if the territory has shrunk or if I lost to soone. (Alyssa)
And then she asked Viine to co with her as well.
Can you keep company for just a bit longer? Id like you to tell Hifumi that Im doing my best when you go to him. (Alyssa)
Understood. (Viine)
In her heart she was scared, but Viine willingly accepted Alyssas request. It had been decided that Viine would be stationed at an official position that allows her to travel between Hifumi and the territory once she finished the basic education. She felt it to be natural for her to accompany Alyssa for the sake of playing that role.
Caim-san, how long until we can depart? (Alyssa)
The preparation of goods is already making progress. Probably it will be possible for the first group to depart tomorrow morning. Since the rail cars and railroad tracks are ready, they will be able to arrive there in a day. (Caim)
As expected of you! (Alyssa)
The next day Caim and Brokra stayed behind in Fokalore as representatives of the feudal lord, and Alyssa headed towards the border city Rhone while being accompanied by Viine as assistant.
On the third day of them setting up weaponry such as spear throwers and reinforcing the walls at high speed, unexpected visitors showed up.
Ah! Viine-san, its been a while! (Reni)
Reni-san!? The others as well! (Viine)
Going towards Viine, who rushed over after being called by the border guards, Reni and Gengu approached her while waving their hands. The elves such as Zanga were present behind them as well.
W-Whats wrong? (Viine)
Yeah, we want to live here. Thats okay? (Reni)
Viine felt dizzy. She sohow managed to put strength into her knees while holding her head.
I-I dont have the authority to decide that, so (Viine)
Sure~. (Alyssa)
The one who ca running to the place right before crossing the border at a light pace was the feudal lord Alyssa. She was additionally wearing a red mantle upon Miyukares suggestion, who said that shed like Alyssa to be dignified in front of the refugees, but with her running around causing the mantle to fly in the wind, it only looked as if a child was playing around.
A-Alyssa-sama (Viine)
After Viine explained to the puzzled Reni about Alyssa, Reni bowed her head towards Alyssa.
Everybody wants to lead lives similar to humans. Please! (Reni)
Then, for starters you will live in this city. Viine-san, please ask Paryu whether there are any free buildings or inns and guide them there. Also please register them in the census, too. And, Id like to listen to everyones stories, so please treat well at that ti. (Alyssa)
Alyssa and Reni, who exchanged a firm handshake, smiled at each other faintly and separated.
Viine ran to the temporary town hall to look for Paryu. Alyssa told her that she has another task and headed to the wall that was still under construction.
Sohow it was decided all too easily. Although you said that shes Hifumis successorIm sorry to say that, but will it be alright? (Gengu)
Isnt it fine? (Reni)
Reni imdiately rejected Gengus concerns.
Maybe that child ah, wrong, Lord-sama thought that it would be convenient for us elves and beastn to be here? Various people are reinforcing the walls and preparing the weapons. There are also very many soldiers present. They are probably expecting the demons to attack. (Reni)
So, why would be our existence be convenient to them then? (Gengu)
I was taught by Hifumi that its the basics to make your opponents plans go haywire in a battle. The demons dont know that we are in a human city thats likely what Lord-sama is thinking. (Reni)
That ans we are (Gengu)
I dont think that they plan to use us as shields, but as one of the traps, maybe? I think the commanders-on-site wont know what they should do if they run into beastn after coming here with the intention to fight against humans. At any rate, since theres also the matter with Malfas, its possible that our movents have been leaked to the other side. (Reni)
Reni casually looked around and saw Viine running in her direction.
Either way, lets have them protect us by showing them our usefulness. Hey, sothing slls nice. For starters I will take a break. Im already exhausted. (Reni)
The people, who continued to walk until here, realized their own exhaustion due to Renis words and fell into a deep slumber after sohow arriving at the rooms prepared by Viine.
What are you saying. You, are you an idiot?
Uhh
After the eting in regards how to deal with Hifumi, which also included Origa, Iraria summoned Hifumi, whos lodging in the castle, to her own room.
She had given detailed instructions to everyone, including the maids, to not get close to her room, but didnt notice that this act in itself had provoked Hifumis wariness.
And when he confronted her about it, Iraria told him that she wants his child. Once he concluded that she probably kept the servants away out of shyness that her love affair or whispered intimacies would be overheard, Hifumi lost all strength and fell back into the sofa.
Which reminds , Origa sent a weird look my way. So its about this, huh? (Hifumi)
Yeah, Origa-san is your wife, Hifumi-sama, I got her permission first (Origa)
Im not a toy to be used by you guys. Being lent out feels unpleasant. (Hifumi)
Iraria rushed over in a hurry to Hifumi, who got up, and grabbed the hem of his hakama.
P-Please wait! This isnt really about sothing like sharing or competing. (Iraria)
Once she put it into words it allowed her to strangely calmly judge Certainly its inevitable for Hifumi to be angry about this. But, currently that wasnt the issue here.
The words she was trying to voice out should attract Hifumis curiosity, although they were based on a thought that had appeared after her having considered the lowest possible ideas in circles.
This is also a preparation to kill you. (Iraria)
He was dragging Irarias light body after him, but suddenly stopped upon hearing those words.
What do you an by that? (Hifumi)
He turned around and looked down on Iraria.
Iraria also firmly looked up directly into the eyes of Hifumi in order to not avert her eyes. She felt like his black pupils beca even blacker in comparison to the ti when she t him for the first ti.
It ans that you will be defeated by your own child. Thats why Im telling you that I want your child. (Iraria)
I ended up telling him, she thinks, and I will keep talking before I regret it.
I hate you. You are detestable. My family summoned you and was killed by you because of that. My father, mother and younger brother might not have been good people by any ans, but while that may be true, Im not a person who can co to terms with it to the degree of considering it as fine for my family to be murdered (Iraria)
Iraria made sure that Hifumi was simply looking at her without saying anything and took off her night-clothes. The thin cloth slips off with a faint rustling, exposing her still developing body.
I intend to do whatever I must if it allows to get my vengeance. I will do anything, no matter how dangerous it might, if it enables to kill you, even if that might be acts going against human nature. (Iraria)
She slowly leaned in close while confirming that Hifumi wasnt escaping.
Suddenly she felt a sensation of floating.
Eh? Kyaaa! (Iraria)
She was lifted up from both sides and tossed on top of the bed.
Her slender body fell on its butt while assuming a posture of sitting at ease. Feeling sohow embarrassed, she pulled the thin bed sheet towards herself and covered her chest.
Make love with . The world you desire is ahead of that. And its demise is to be found there as well. I will shape that history. (Iraria)
They eyes of Iraria, who earnestly lined up word after word, felt to Hifumi as if they had already beco that of a lunatic.
At the sa ti he couldnt deny that they overlapped with the eyes of his wife.
I really have bad luck with won, dont I? (Hifumi)
Holding Iraria, who was clinging to him while roughly breathing through her nose, he carried her to the bed.
At the ti when dawn broke, Hifumi wasnt at Irarias side anymore.
While feeling a dull pain, she ended up releasing a weird scream due to the success of her strategy and her excitent out of embarrassnt.
