\text("Soldier 1")
Mayor, please come out! We have to protect Fargan!

\endtext

\text("Soldier 2")
The Demon Lord is here, you know!? This is your city!

\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
Shut up, shut up, shut up...!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Go, my minions! Fuhahaha!
\endtext

\text
The area around the government building in the center of
Fargan had become a living hell.
\endtext

\text
A horde of monsters led by a Diabolica calling himself the
Demon Lord had appeared out of nowhere and was rampaging
inside the building.
\endtext

\text
The monsters were advancing to the upper floors... in other
words, heading for the floor where the mayor was.
\endtext

\text
It was hard to believe that just a few hours ago, everything
had been peaceful.
\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
N-no way I can handle that...!
\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
We're surrounded by monsters... I'm definitely, definitely
going to be killed...
\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
It's all Giacomo's fault... If he hadn't come up with those
policies, I wouldn't be in this mess...

\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
This isn't my fault... I didn't do anything wro--

\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
Hyaaaaaaah!!?
\endtext

\text("Soldier 1")
Mayor! At this rate, Fargan will be taken over by the Demon
Lord's army!
\endtext

\text("Soldier 2")
Stop cowering and get out here to lead us! Are you even the
mayor of this city!?
\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
Shut uuuup! Like I care! You guys handle it yourselves!

\endtext

\text("Soldier 1")
...
\endtext

\text("Soldier 2")
Tch, fine! You better remember this when it's over, you're
not getting away with it!

\endtext

\text("Mayor Fargan")
No, no, no... I don't want to die, I don't want to die...

\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Go, go! Show those humans how terrifying we are!

\endtext

\text("Citizen")
Eek, monsters!
\endtext

\text("Citizen")
No, help meee!
\endtext

\text
The Demon Lord's army was taking control of the city center,
surrounding the government building.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
First squad, take the east main street. Second squad, drive
the citizens away from the south market area.

\endtext

\text("Noro")
UOOOOOOH...!
\endtext

\text("Citizen")
Kyaaaaaa!?
\endtext

\text
Under Risbell's command, the monsters moved in perfect
order.
\endtext

\text
The terror of being chased by monsters far stronger than
themselves.
\endtext

\text
For humans, it could only be a nightmare.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Spacchio-san, you've explained everything to them, right?

\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Yeah. I told them not to kill anyone as much as possible.
With those guys, it shouldn't be a problem. But are you
really sure about this?
\endtext

\text
Even so, there were no civilian casualties. Risbell would
never allow it.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
This is a battle to take back our country. We can't kill our
own people.
\endtext

\text
Watching the fleeing citizens, Risbell gave a small nod.

\endtext

\text
It was thanks to Spacchio, who even interpreted for the
monsters that couldn't speak the language.
\endtext

\text
Under the command of Risbell and Spacchio, the monsters were
kept in line.
\endtext

\text
As planned, civilian casualties were kept to a minimum.
\endtext

\text
That result made a quiet joy well up in Risbell's heart.

\endtext

\text
―But, the time to celebrate is after victory.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Still, this is boring. There are some decent women around,
but none of them dare defy me.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
That's true. Since we came from the city center... Normally,
the defense force should have shown up by now.

\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
...Well, speak of the devil. Looks like they're here.

\endtext

\text
Spacchio's lips curled into a faint smile as he eyed the
belatedly arriving defense squad.
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
This is as far as you go, Demon Lord's army! We won't let
you do as you please in Fargan any longer!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
(...I don't see the mayor. Did he run away?)
\endtext

\text
Old Hados was originally formed as a federation of several
autonomous cities. That's why, even now, all authority is
vested in each mayor.
\endtext

\text
Of course, military authority is no exception. If the mayor
isn't showing himself, maybe he's deserted his post.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...You, go find the mayor and bring him to me.

\endtext

\text("Goblin")
Aye!
\endtext

\text
If that's the case, we can't let him escape.
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
This is where your advance ends! Give it up!

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You're the ones who should give up. A ragtag group with no
commander doesn't stand a chance against Lord Caym.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's right. Go on, you lot. Take care of those small fry
already.
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
Don't make me laugh, Diabolica! All troops, crush that fake
Demon Lord!
\endtext
