Interlude 6 - Battle Preparations “Stand by in the rear with 30 attendants, Salm and Ladd included. Going to the frontlines is prohibited. The rest is left to your judgement...is that all?” “Yes. His Lordship insisted that you do not do anything rash, young master.” “Doesn’t he trust me at all!? Damn stubborn old geezer...” I heard my orders from a soldier and looked up at the sky, irritated. The empire’s army was scheduled to arrive at the fort the next day; the old man was going to set…-

Chapter 38 - Heartless One 【POV: A certain country’s minister】 My name is Samuel Lauros, I am a minister of the Garnet Kingdom, in the Southern Archipelago. More precisely, I “was” a minister. Several months ago, the Garnet Kingdom was taken over by a foreign country and had been effectively dismantled: my old title had little to no meaning anymore. Garnet had been destroyed by the Lion Kingdom, a pirate country. We had always been at odds with the outlaw state; in recent years,…

Chapter 71 - The Desert Night Still Lingers Naam’s loss of consciousness brought the bath time to an abrupt end: I had to leave before I could really get a nice soak in. Mist and Sakuya took care of putting clothes on Naam and Nefertina, respectively, and brought them to a bedroom. While the two were put to sleep, I was in another room, sitting on a chair, thinking. It was still late afternoon when I got into the tub, but after spending time on this and that, the sun had set already. It was still early…

Chapter 21 - The Western Capital The following morning, after paying the toll and crossing the checkpoint, Oboro and I parted ways. “I’ll head to Thebes and meet with Margrave Sphinx, then. You continue gathering information.” “Very well, young master.” “Not only about the “Terror Armies”, but also about the nobles opposing House Sphinx.” “Hm? Is there any relation?” “There might be.” I nodded at Oboro’s question. “It really seems that this wasn’t just an invasion by a…

The next day and the day after that, I watched the rest of the preliminary matches, and once all the matches were over, the tournament fixtures for the main individual rounds were announced. “It looks like I won't face any of you in the first round.” “Finne and Iris will have to compete against each other if they advance.” Finne and Kuzel were exchanging such words. The first round of the tournament would be a tough one, but it's not impossible. In any case, if all three of them win, they would all…-

Chapter 14 - Lap Pillow and Salvation After the first refusal, we sent several other petitions for our troops to be allowed to cross the central province, but the answer was always the same — a firm rejection. “Days of doing nothing, boredom…I didn’t expect they would be so frustrating.” I was in the Maxwell residence, lying on a sofa, mumbling to myself. I had been rather busy the last few months, so being told that I didn’t need to fight left me at a loss. Days and days of too much time, too…

Chapter 56 - The Abandoned City “Mngh…bwaah!” During our dive towards the city, I felt like we broke through a sort of thin film. I crash-landed on the ground, drawing deep breaths to finally fill my lungs with air. “Haah..haah…there’s…air…?” “Haha, yes! Rest easy my boy, you can breathe here!” “Air…at the bottom of the sea? How the hell…?” “It’s thanks to a kind of barrier! Basically we’re in a different world from the outside!” “You’re screwing with me…what…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 18 - The Last Duel That night, I headed to the White Demons’ vessel. I boarded the moonlit ship and saw Grace on top of the mast. “Hey. Beautiful night, isn’t it.” “...yeah.” Grace hopped down onto the deck and approached me. The petite white-haired woman was wearing a white dress again. There wasn’t any blood on it this time, obviously. Because of the moonlight and the transparent dress, Grace looked eerily beautiful, like a fairy…
