『Ancient City Amzelia: Inn』

“… Nn”…” Ruru

“He-hey! Ruru has woken up–! Everyone–!” Kazuha

“Hu…h…? This place is…?” Ruru

Haa…
Stop making me worry…

“How are you feeling, Ruru-san?” Rei

“…Rei? What just … had happened … to me…?” Ruru

Ruru asked while rubbing her eyes and looking around.
Yep, if she’s like this then she’s fine…

“Geez, you didn’t woke up for a whole day! Fuee-n! I thought you were going to sleep forever~!” Tao

China girl weepingly said.(3)
I said no fake lines…

“… I see… I was … unconscious… What about the 《King of Spirit’s chalice》?” Ruru

“…Aah. We successfully retrieved it meaning mission complete. …….. ” Selel

And again a weird mood was brought about by Selen…

” … You have a face that tells me you want to ask something… Selen…” Ruru

“…Nope, it’s nothing” Selen

“…” Ruru

“…” Selen

… Hey!
What the heck is with this mood!
You should be more happy especially that Ruru has woken up! You lot!

“N-now then! We did got a large sum of reward… So I’m gonna go all out with the food and let’s party!!” Tao

“Ooh! Good idea Tao!! Yo~~~shi, then me t–” Kazuha

The moment I was about to shout out.

The door flew open vigorously.

“Th-th-th-there’s a problem, everyone!! The A-azerlaims castle is…! ” Rei

…….. What?

『Amzelia: Prime minister Residence』

“””『The imperial capital is being invaded』!!??””” (Three people)

“… Yes. A 《Magic letter》 has just came 《Azerlaims》’ mages” Rei

In this world, a 《Magic letter》 is something like the 『E-mail』. However unlike e-mail, it consumes a great amount of magic power, and only those who have mastered magic can use it, therefore it’s a super rare magic only used to these kinds of situations.

(Oi oi…. seriously…! Is this the 『I have a bad feeling about something』…?)

I ponder.

The 『Imperial Invasion』 event is something that transpired in my 『first』 and 『second』 time, thus we can also say that it is a 『set out common event』.
However, the demons that has came to attack aren’t to be belittled, I almost didn’t clear it in my 『first』 time as a result the princess – 『Erina』- was killed by the demons. (As I expected)

So, after I enter my 『second』 time, I swore to my heart that I will definitely save Erina, I hammered into my head to prepare for the time of the invasion.
Then I magnificently drove out the demons and successfully protected Erina.

Thereafter I received merits, then splendidly chosen as the 『hero』 and a grand invest.i.ture was done.

After I was chosen as a heron, I married Erina for a bit, then head towards the demon castle… that’s how it transpired.

(…But… what the h.e.l.l gone wrong 『this time』? The time and order are in chaos…)

Already in this time a 『hero』 was chosen among the 『hero candidates』.
Originally the hero is to be chosen after the 『Imperial Invasion』 event, and this situation already tells me that this is entirely different from the route that I know…

(… Occurring the 『Imperial Invasion』 at this early time… The other 『hero candidates』 level is still too low… If they went to battle with the 『invading』 demons at that state…)

In my 『1st』 time almost half of the 『hero candidates』 lost their lives.
The 『2nd』 one, I took the front most position outside the castle gate, and didn’t even let a single one of those demons in….

“… What’s the current situation?” Kazuha

I being the one most curios, I raised a question to Rei-san.

“The 『1st wave』 of the demon forces have already entered the capital and is now battling with the 『Hero army』…” Rei

“They’ve already enter the capital…!?” Kazuha

This is bad….. This is really bad…!
It will take days …so we need to get to 《Azerlaims》 as fast as possible!
The current 『hero army』 wouldn’t even last long…!

“d.a.m.n!!” Kazuha

“…Kazuha…” Ruru

Ruru peeked up at my face with a uneasy expression.

“…E-evil… Losing cool and all…” Ruru

“…Right now, the one fighting like a fierce G.o.d against the demons, in front the gate, is the 『Rank 2』 of the tournament -Alzein Knightheart-dono-…” Aide

Continued the aide standing beside the Prime minister.

“ALZEIN! …. That’s right, she’s there…! ” Kazuha

If she’s there then that means she returned to Smithy Jii-san and ask about us.
Thinking at those lines means she has already acquired the 『curse sword』.

“(…『Alzein』 is… if I remember correctly, is the female knight that Kazuha was looking for, right?)” Tao

Tao whispered to me.

“(Aah! If she’s in the capital, furthermore fighting in the 『front line』, then…!)” Kazuha

Yeah! We might make it…!

After that…

“… Certainly, the prime minister has already arranged the plans for us to help, right?” Selen

Selen interjected at the conversation.

“… As expected from Reiharein-dono’s lackey. As you have said, I have already prepared a 『government exclusive ship』 at the port. If ou head for it now… hmm… You will arrive tomorrow dawn at the east coast of 《Azerlaims Castle》” PM

“Seriously! That seriously helps!! Thanks, ossan!!!” (1)

“…”

…..Ah.
Sorry…for speaking…

“…So, Prime minster. We shall borrow the high-speed boat you were saying. The situation is calling for it, we will certainly give our grat.i.tude one day. …We will take our leave” Rei

Rei then bowed gracefully, then signaled us with her eyes.

(I’m counting on you, Alzein…! It might be hard but try to last for another day…!!)

Then we –.

— were led by the government official to the shortest route to the high-speed ship.
