\text
Günther, having returned from Denfrosk, immediately went to
see Glace.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...I'm sorry, Lady Glace.
\endtext

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

\text
Glace couldn't say anything to Günther, who bowed his head
deeply.
\endtext

\text
She simply didn't have the composure to speak.
\endtext

\text
Even if she did, Glace probably wouldn't have blamed
Günther.
\endtext

\text
She would only fall into self-loathing over her own
powerlessness.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...It's true that I abandoned Denfrosk. I'll accept whatever
punishment you see fit.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
But before that, could you tell me what happened the day the
Demon Lord came here...?
\endtext

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

\text
Glace nodded quietly.
\endtext

\text
She told him that Caym had come here. That she spoke with
Caym... and everything Caym had said.
\endtext

\text
But Günther couldn't quite believe it.
\endtext

\text
Certainly, the Demon Lord Caym that Glace described sounded
like a truly evil villain.
\endtext

\text
But what about the Demon Lord's army that Günther saw?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...It's strange.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
What is?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...It's true that Denfrosk was occupied by the Demon Lord's
army, and both the citizens and the defense force were taken
away. That's a fact.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
But what I saw and what you heard from the Demon Lord don't
match up.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
What do you mean? What did you see?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
The Demon Lord's army shared food, handed out blankets... It
looked like they were protecting the citizens.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
That's just how it seemed. I don't know what happened after
they were taken to the labyrinth, but if that's how they
treated the citizens...
\endtext

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

\text("Günther")
There would be no need to offer a helping hand. And
certainly no reason to keep the defense force alive.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
So Caym's words... were they a lie...?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
I can't say if it was a lie or the truth, but it was still
an invasion.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
And if there's even a chance that any of it is true, then we
should defeat the Demon Lord's army.
\endtext

\text
Whatever their intentions, the Demon Lord's army is the
enemy of Kiros.
\endtext

\text
And Günther is a soldier who protects the people.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...You're right. Günther, could you take me to see Lord
Winga?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...Are you planning to ask for Lord Winga's help?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I am the king of Kiros. ...I want to do something too.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I've thought about it. What I can do. ...But that's all I
could come up with.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
............
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I want to protect... the people of this country... and all
of you, too.
\endtext

\text
Glace declared this clearly.
\endtext

\text
Her words as king were no different than before.
\endtext

\text
But something had changed.
\endtext

\text
These were not the words of a puppet.
\endtext

\text
They were the words of a human, with her own will... and
resolve.
\endtext

\text
Glace had shown her determination to fight.
\endtext

\text
If that's the case, then fighting by her side is the duty of
a soldier and vassal of this country.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...Then, let's head for Winga's Throat.
\endtext

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

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

\text
......
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 1")
Hold the line! The Demon Lord's army is coming!!
\endtext

\text
Tension ran through Adonai in the early morning.
\endtext

\text
At the Demon Lord's assault, the defense squad immediately
prepared for battle.
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 2")
The citizens haven't finished evacuating yet!
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 1")
Tch... Hold out until the evacuation is complete! Use your
lives as shields! Don't let them through, no matter what!
\endtext

\text
Shouting orders, the commander ground his teeth.
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 1")
(Adonai isn't even an important base... It's a place even
Kiros has forgotten about, isn't it?)
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 1")
(There's no benefit to taking this place. Why did they come
here of all places...!)
\endtext

\text
Adonai, nestled in the mountains, had prospered from mining
resources until just a few decades ago.
\endtext

\text
But now that those have run dry, there's no trace of that
prosperity. Because of its location, even supplies barely
reach them, and even the defense squad is starving.
\endtext

\text
To Kiros, it's just baggage―something to be cut off at any
time, like a lizard's tail.
\endtext

\text
There's no reason to attack here.
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad 1")
They're here... Prepare to intercept!
\endtext

\text("Defense Squad Members")
Ooooooh!!
\endtext

\text
The enemy forces... The morale of Adonai's defense squad
could be called high.
\endtext

\text
But even those defenders have sunken cheeks and look
emaciated.
\endtext

\text
Before the monsters could hesitate, Caym raised his voice.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Show no hesitation. No matter what state they're in, crush
them and take Adonai!
