\text("Tiela")
P-please stop... It's still the middle of the day! And
besides, the tea will get cold...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's no excuse. You can drink your tea after we're done.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Well, what you'll really be drinking is my cock milk,
Tiela...!
\endtext

\text
Caym steps right up to Tiela.
\endtext

\text
Even through his clothes, his cock is bulging so much it's
obvious.
\endtext

\text
Ever since the occupation of Lusario, Caym has been coming
to Tiela almost every day for sex.
\endtext

\text
It's because Shuka and Kiros haven't made any moves
lately... so he's taking advantage of the lull.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Excuse me, Lady Tiela! Lord Caym, are you...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Ah...!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Now, if you really don't want this, then try slapping me or
pushing me away.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...So, would you mind if I twisted that shameless cock of
yours?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Oh, Risbell. What's up, you here to join in too?
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
The three of us with Risbell-san... *gulp*
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Tiela-san, please don't get your hopes up. ...Caym-sama, I
have a rather troublesome report.
\endtext

\text
Risbell speaks more seriously than usual, but Caym just
responds with his usual annoyance.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Is it urgent? More urgent than me and Tiela having sex?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Yes. It's a report from Spacchio, who went out on
inspection.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
A settlement on the outskirts of Telesneil was attacked by
someone... and wiped out.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Tch... so I have to put this off. Fine, I'm coming too.
Tiela, you come as well.
\endtext

\text
Annoyed, Caym stuffs his cock back in and briskly leaves the
bedroom.
\endtext

\text
―At this point, he still thought it was just another hassle
to deal with.
\endtext

\text
Caym was thinking in simple terms.
\endtext

\text
....................
\endtext

\text
............
\endtext

\text
...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Huh...?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
............
\endtext

\text
Risbell let out a dumbfounded sound at the sight before her
eyes.
\endtext

\text
This settlement, a little ways from Telesneil, has more
Diabolica and monsters living in it than other cities.
\endtext

\text
Telesneil has always been more discriminatory than other
cities.
\endtext

\text
After the Demon Lord's army took over, some residents
refused to live with humans, and those people moved here.
\endtext

\text
There were the original residents who had always lived here,
and the newcomers who arrived later.
\endtext

\text
And then, the monsters from the Demon Lord's army who were
stationed as guards.
\endtext

\text
...All of them are dead.
\endtext

\text
Children, women, the elderly―every last one of them was
slaughtered.
\endtext

\text
Blood splatters the ground and walls, and horribly mutilated
corpses are scattered everywhere.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
............
\endtext

\text
For just a moment, the scene of the destroyed Hados flashed
through Caym's mind.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
A massacre...
\endtext

\text("El")
Caym-sama, I'll go look for survivors!
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
It's pointless... They're all dead. Every last one, no
matter their age or gender.
\endtext

\text
Just as El was about to run off, Spacchio, Noro, and
Agri―who had arrived in town earlier―showed up.
\endtext

\text
Behind them were about ten men tied up with rope.
\endtext

\text
It was easy to tell these men were the culprits, judging by
the blood splattered on them.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I see. So, these are the ones who did this?
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Yeah... But something's off about them.
\endtext

\text("Man 1")
Ugh...
\endtext

\text
Agri yanked the rope roughly as he spoke.
\endtext

\text
The men were pulled forward without much resistance... and
collapsed pathetically to the ground.
\endtext

\text
Agri gestured toward the men with a jerk of his chin.
\endtext

\text("Man 2")
P-purge... the world... purge the chaos... purge...
\endtext

\text("Man 3")
Stability... purify the demons... protect stability and
order...
\endtext

\text
Hearing those words muttered over and over, Caym grimaced.
\endtext

\text
Stability for the world, purification of demons... Those
were the doctrines preached by the Lasfa Church.
\endtext

\text("Noro")
These bastards are messed up... They were already like this
when we got here.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
In this state, and with just this many people, there's no
way they could've wiped out an entire town...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Um... Do you understand what I'm saying?
\endtext

\text("Man 1")
Ah... hi... it hurts... ah...
\endtext

\text
Even when Risbell tried talking to him, the man didn't seem
to recognize her at all.
\endtext

\text
In fact...
\endtext

\text("Man 1")
Ah, it hurts... my head... aghhhhhh...!?
\endtext

\text
Clutching his head, he writhed in agony, suffering and
convulsing.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Wha...! Please calm down! Don't move... I'll heal you now...
\endtext

\text("Man 2")
Ah, gahhh... my head, it's splitting... no, I don't want to
do this... gahhh...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
These bastards...
\endtext

\text
Crying out in pain... or rejecting something, the men
breathed their last.
\endtext

\text
And in the end, every man there died.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Hypnosis, huh? There was one who tried to resist... So
they forced the suggestion on them?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
If that's the case, it's pretty sloppy. Maybe they were
meant to be disposable from the start.
\endtext

\text("El")
Who would do something like this...
\endtext

\text
Everyone present felt an indescribable sense of unease.
\endtext

\text
Even if the Demon Lord's army's rule wasn't perfect, there
had never been a massacre like this before.
\endtext

\text
Why did it happen now? And who set these men on this path?
\endtext

\text
With a vague sense of dread, everyone fell silent.
\endtext

\text
In the midst of it all, Caym, more irritated than anxious,
questioned Spacchio.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...When did the attack happen?
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
We were still in contact with this place as of last night.
\endtext

\text
In other words, the attack happened before sunrise.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...It's uncanny, how similar it is.
\endtext

\text
This was his first time seeing these men, but Caym had
witnessed men in a similar state before.
\endtext

\text
Over a hundred years ago, on the night Hados fell.
\endtext

\text
Among the men leading the rioters, there were those with the
same behavior and condition.
\endtext

\text
And back then too, little by little from the outskirts...
the civil war crept closer.
\endtext

\text
As the memories flashed back, a chill crawled up Caym's
spine.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Caym-sama, are you alright...? You look pale.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I'm fine. This hasn't happened anywhere else, right?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
So far, there have been no other reports.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Then increase security. Don't ever let this happen again.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Understood.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...But no matter what we do, I'm sure it'll happen again.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...What do you mean?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
That woman said it, didn't she? That all we're doing is
buying a little more time before the end.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Ah... Wait a second! So, does that mean this is all because
of that woman...?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
If anything, this is their usual tactic. This is just how
they operate.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...That woman?
\endtext

\text
Caym reacted to the word 'woman.'
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hm... Well, whatever. After something like this, there's no
way I can just stay quiet.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Tell me everything you know.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Understood.
\endtext

\text
Under Caym's glare, Risbell lowered her gaze.
\endtext

\text
She regretted not bringing up something this important much
sooner.
\endtext

\text
It all started with suspicions about the attack plan hatched
by Shuka's civil officials and the Winga cult of Kiros.
\endtext

\text
Someone is pulling the strings behind the three nations,
starting wars... and trying to wipe out the Diabolica.
\endtext

\text
...And that she had come face to face with someone who
seemed to be behind it all.
\endtext

\text
Risbell told Caym everything and bowed her head.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'm sorry... If only I had consulted you sooner,
Caym-sama...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Don't worry about it. Honestly, if you'd told me earlier, I
probably wouldn't have been able to focus on the battle in
front of me.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
But still, what does that woman want by doing all this?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
If she's involved in this too, then is it literally the
extermination of the demons...?
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
...So, are we dealing with the Raspha cult?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I don't know. Nee-san, do you know anything?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Sorry. I knew they were out there, but I don't know who they
are...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...I'll look into it. Beatrice-san, could you help me?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Alright.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'm counting on you.
\endtext

\text
They still had no idea who their enemy really was.
\endtext

\text
But there were things they had learned.
\endtext

\text
First, that whoever it was had connections to the Winga cult
and the civil officials.
\endtext

\text
And second... that this situation was eerily similar to what
happened just before Hados fell.
\endtext

\text
If it's just a coincidence, that's fine. But if they're
trying to repeat what happened 120 years ago...
\endtext

\text
I can't allow that to happen.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Risbell. Declare war on Shuka and Kiros.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Wha... Are you serious? Both countries at once...? Besides,
they're not our only enemies!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's an order. Do it.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...What are you thinking?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Anyone who bares their fangs at us will get no mercy. Anyone
I deem an enemy will be purged―every last one of them.
\endtext

\text("El")
Caym-sama, that's...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...That's fine, but how exactly are you going to do it?
\endtext

\text
At Beatrice's question, Caym curled his lips into a smirk.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
We'll crush the Winga cult and the civil officials. That's
where we'll start.
\endtext

\text
Both of these are clearly factions manipulated by 'someone.'
\endtext

\text
They are, in essence, reactionary forces against the Demon
Lord's army. Enemies that must be defeated.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Understood. But are you really sure about this?
\endtext

\text
To clearly identify and purge the enemy. The enemy must be
defeated.
\endtext

\text
But even that has its limits.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
At worst, it could lead to even harsher persecution of the
Diabolica.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
There might even be people in the country or the army who
start to resent us.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
So, are you saying we should just let what happened here
keep happening?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
No, that's not...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I have no intention of forgiving them. If they hit us, we
hit back.
\endtext

\text
Everyone present could feel Caym's quiet anger.
\endtext

\text
No king could stay silent after his own people were killed.
\endtext

\text
The same goes for his subordinates. Even more so for
soldiers.
\endtext

\text
And everyone understood that if left unchecked, those fangs
would eventually reach Hados itself.
\endtext

\text
―If that's the case, then we strike first before they can
strike us.
\endtext

\text
....................
\endtext

\text
............
\endtext

\text
...
\endtext

\text
...And so, a few days later, events began to move at a
dizzying pace.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
Huh...? What did you just say...?
\endtext

\text
The throne room, where all the vassals had gathered, fell
silent.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
I said, I've detained your subordinates.
\endtext

\text
In effect, most of the chancellor Two-Shin's faction had
been ousted.
\endtext

\text
That meant Two-Shin's power had been drastically weakened.
\endtext

\text
Two-Shin couldn't comprehend the meaning of Magahime's words
at all.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Most of your subordinates are being sent to the detention
camp for treason. Too bad for you.
\endtext

\text("Wenjin")
W-Wait, please! Why would you do such a thing?! Treason,
that's just...
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
They were plotting a rebellion, weren't they? You don't need
subordinates like that, do you?
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
...
\endtext

\text
Glaring at him, Magahime made Two-Shin fall silent.
\endtext

\text
Why? That was all he could think.
\endtext

\text
Why did she realize it now, at this very moment?
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Don't worry. By now, Honju should have those useless fools
detained and thrown in jail.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
......
\endtext

\text
If he said even a single word here, he'd lose his head.
\endtext

\text
He couldn't help but feel that way.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
But you're their superior, aren't you? If you're in charge,
you have to take responsibility for their actions too.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
............
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
From now on, Honju will be the chancellor. You're demoted.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
That's...!
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...Oh my. Don't you think that's a generous punishment? Or
is it not enough for you?
\endtext

\text
Faced with Magahime's sadistic smile, Two-Shin was at a loss
for words.
\endtext

\text
Magahime knew. She knew the man before her was the
ringleader.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
To be honest, you're too talented to let go.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Especially now that the Demon Lord's army has declared war.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
So from now on, why don't you use that brain of yours for
me?
\endtext

\text
Her smile said it all―if not, she'd have him executed.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
(Die here... or become her dog. Is that what this brat is
telling me to choose...!)
\endtext

\text
If he died, it would all end. Was he really willing to let
his ambitions―his return to the throne―end here?
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
...Ha.
\endtext

\text("Wenjin")
...
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Thank you for the answer I expected. That's all, you may go
now.
\endtext

\text("Two-Shin")
Excuse me.
\endtext

\text
Turning on his heel, Two-Shin left together with Wenjin.
\endtext

\text
As they left, Honju approached Magahime, as if to take their
place.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
Is everything finished here?
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Just now. How about your side?
\endtext

\text("Honju")
We're transferring them to the detention center one by one.
It should all be wrapped up by tomorrow morning.
\endtext

\text
Hearing that, Magahime finally let out a sigh of relief.
\endtext

\text
She had managed to remove one of her biggest headaches.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...Now, one more thing. Did you find out anything about the
sender of that letter and the illusion stone?
\endtext

\text("Honju")
Nothing yet on that front. With no leads, there's not much
we can do.
\endtext

\text
The letter and the illusion stone... someone had provided
information about Two-Shin and the others' rebellion.
\endtext

\text
Without those two things, Magahime would likely have been
dragged from the throne in the near future.
\endtext

\text
In other words, this informant was Magahime's benefactor.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
I see... Well, it can't be helped. There must be a traitor
among the civil officials. They wouldn't want Two-Shin to
find out.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
...Well, who knows. Maybe the Demon Lord's army pulled it
off after all.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...Well, the timing matches up a little too perfectly with
their declaration of war for it to be a coincidence.
\endtext

\text
That in itself left some questions, but for now, she could
breathe easy.
\endtext

\text
The remaining problem was the Demon Lord's army.
\endtext

\text("Military Officer")
The Demon Lord's army hasn't made any moves yet.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
That's better for us. It gives us time to prepare.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
On that note, I think we should evacuate the Diabolica to
the Hakusha detention center for now.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Why? There's no reason to detain them.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
We can't have them siding with the Demon Lord's army and
rebelling... Well, that's just the official reason.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
It's the largest and safest place in the country.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
Citizens anxious about the Demon Lord's army might persecute
the Diabolica.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
There are a lot of followers of Rasfa in the country, after
all. So this is to protect them.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...No. No matter what reason you give, in the end, it's the
same thing Two-Shin tried to do.
\endtext

\text
Magahime glared sharply, but Honju didn't back down.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
It's not like we're locking them up. We'll make sure their
living conditions are good, and guarantee food, clothing,
and shelter.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
Plus, we'll assign Diabolica military officers to guard
them...
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...What about the people who are already being held there?
\endtext

\text("Honju")
We'll transfer them to another facility. Otherwise, there'd
be complaints.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
............
\endtext

\text("Honju")
There's only so much we can do. If we don't do this, there's
no way we can protect everyone.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
.............Sigh. Fine. In that case, I'll persuade the
people myself.
\endtext

\text
Reluctantly, Magahime had no choice but to agree.
\endtext

\text
She didn't want to burden the citizens with the cost of war,
but there was no other way.
\endtext

\text
As Honju said, it's impossible to protect everything.
\endtext

\text("Honju")
Actually... would you let us handle this?
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...Why?
\endtext

\text("Honju")
It's only natural for vassals to lend a hand to their king,
isn't it?
\endtext

\text("Honju")
You can rely on us a little. Two-Shin can't do anything
anymore anyway.
\endtext

\text
This time, it was Magahime who was at a loss for words.
\endtext

\text
In short, he wanted her to trust them. But given everything
that's happened...
\endtext

\text
...She couldn't trust them right away. She couldn't―but.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...Fine. Make sure you convince them properly.
\endtext

\text
Honju nodded and left with his subordinates.
\endtext

\text
Magahime watched their backs with a complicated expression.
\endtext

\text
In the church, bathed in the dimming evening sun, a few
followers and the High Priest were present.
\endtext

\text("Follower")
But what is that man really after...?
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Who knows. In any case, we've learned how to control Winga.
For that, we should be grateful.
\endtext

\text
A spy from some unknown country had just been here, teaching
them how to control Winga.
\endtext

\text

\endtext

\text
―There's no longer any need for me to lend you a hand.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
(Did he lose his nerve after the failed attack... or is
there another reason?)
\endtext

\text
Either way, Winga would now truly be theirs.
\endtext

\text
They no longer needed to rely on the power of that 'Withered
One.'
\endtext

\text
The problem is, to use this method, Glace must be
sacrificed.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
(...The real issue is how to separate that watchdog from
Glace...)
\endtext

\text
―Just then.
\endtext

\text("Follower")
...?
\endtext

\text
Outside, someone seemed to be fighting. Angry shouts could
be heard.
\endtext

\text
It was at that moment.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
I am Günther Hilt, Supreme Commander of the Kiros Army! You
are all under arrest!
\endtext

\text
That watchdog kicked down the door and stormed into the
church.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
W-What do you think you're doing?!
\endtext

\text("Günther")
Don't play dumb. Seize him!
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
What are you...! Who do you think I am?!
\endtext

\text
Even if the High Priest drew his sword, his opponent was a
soldier―a professional at combat.
\endtext

\text
The soldiers rushed in, and both the followers and the High
Priest were helplessly pinned down and restrained.
\endtext

\text
What on earth had happened? The High Priest never
understood, not even at the very end.
\endtext

\text
And without ever understanding, he lost everything but his
life.
\endtext

\text
....................
\endtext

\text
............
\endtext

\text
......
\endtext

\text
Embezzlement and misappropriation of taxes.
\endtext

\text
Sexual acts with the girls gathered as offerings for Winga,
and human trafficking.
\endtext

\text
Fraud and kidnapping related to those crimes.
\endtext

\text
Countless charges were recited smoothly from Günther's
mouth.
\endtext

\text
All of them were crimes committed by the Winga Church.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
That's all... So many charges it's not even worth counting,
High Priest.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
N-No! I didn't do any of that! The followers acted on their
own...
\endtext

\text
The moment he lost his power and allies, the High Priest
looked utterly pathetic.
\endtext

\text
As he knelt on the floor, Günther's sword was pressed
against his neck.
\endtext

\text
Ready to cut him down at any moment.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
Lady Glace, this man deserves the death penalty. He's not
even worth keeping alive.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Wha... Y-You bastards! I'm the one who saved this country!
Without me... hngh!?
\endtext

\text
The High Priest felt a slight pain on his neck and gasped.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...There's no point in listening to you anymore. Take him to
the dungeon.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
You... little brat! How dare you... Let go! Unhand me, you
insolent wretch!
\endtext

\text
The High Priest was dragged off to the dungeon, screaming
pathetically until the very end.
\endtext

\text
With this, the Winga ritual would be postponed.
\endtext

\text
At the same time, it meant the chance to save the people...
and the recovery of the weather would be delayed even
further.
\endtext

\text
Whether that was truly a good thing or not, Glace couldn't
say.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Günther, what will happen to the Winga Church?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
It's impossible to get rid of it completely. The fact is,
it's been a support for the people until now.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
However, many didn't know about their dark side. I think
it's better to let them reform the Winga Church themselves
and let it continue.
\endtext

\text
Of course, not as the self-serving religious organization it
had been until now.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I see. What about the Demon Lord's Army's movements?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
Since their declaration of war, there hasn't been any
particular movement.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Are they really planning to take us on at the same time
as Shuka...?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...If they've said it, they'll do it. We'll make sure we're
fully prepared to intercept them. Please rest assured.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Right...
\endtext

\text
There was still one thing Günther hadn't told the anxious
Glace.
\endtext

\text
The Winga Church's crimes weren't uncovered by the military.
\endtext

\text
It wasn't out of pride. He simply couldn't read their
intentions.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
(...Judging by the timing, the source must be the Demon
Lord's Army... but what are they up to...?)
\endtext

\text
Günther couldn't help but be wary of that uncertainty.
\endtext

\text
What are they thinking? What is their goal?
\endtext

\text
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find an
answer.
\endtext

\text
....................
\endtext

\text
............
\endtext

\text
......
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Thanks to the information we leaked, it seems Shuka's rebels
and the Winga Church have been effectively neutralized.
\endtext

\text
Caym nodded in satisfaction at Risbell's report.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Good. Well done. Now those bastards won't be able to do as
they please.
\endtext

\text
It was Risbell who leaked the church's crimes and Shuka's
coup plans.
\endtext

\text
And the one who gathered that information was...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Oh? Aren't you going to praise me? If I hadn't collected
that intel, none of this would have been possible, you know?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I know. For once, I'm honestly grateful.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Nfufu♪
\endtext

\text("Caym")
(Still, how did she even manage to gather all that
information...?)
\endtext

\text
Caym let out a sigh, unsure if it was admiration or
exasperation, as he glanced at Beatrice clinging to him.
\endtext

\text
Anyway, with this, both countries' powers have stabilized,
and there are no more internal troubles to worry about.
\endtext

\text
And the factions that were likely stirring up rebellion in
both countries can barely move now.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
This should make things a bit easier for us. Facing them
both at once and winning isn't just a dream anymore.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
But it's still dangerous. If the two countries were to form
an alliance...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That would be just fine... all the more reason to crush
them.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
What's wrong with that? The stronger the enemy, the more
fired up I get.
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Why are you always so carefree about this...?
\endtext

\text("Noro")
Because he's an idiot.
\endtext

\text("El")
Agri-san is a total musclehead, after all.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'm not Agri, but I do prefer a strong opponent.
\endtext

\text
Listen up, Caym continued.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
We have to drag out the enemy who's still hiding in the
shadows and bring them right in front of us.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
To do that, we need to show them that we're monsters these
two countries can't handle.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...If only you could always be this reliable...
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
...Then, they might show themselves soon.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah. They came out just because we foiled their attack
plans. Maybe they'll pop up sooner than we think.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...I doubt they're someone we can take so lightly.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
............
\endtext

\text
Risbell and Beatrice couldn't quite hide their unease.
\endtext

\text
After all, these two have been watching those movements
closer than anyone else in the Demon Lord's army.
\endtext

\text
And Caym, too, had feelings he kept hidden inside.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
(It won't go like it did 120 years ago. I won't let you do
as you please... Not with this country, or with nee-san.)
