Mansion
I, point the spear at the Demon Race woman. Elise and the others let out their voices like they’re reproaching me, but they’ve fallen to deaf ears.
“Why, is there a Demon Race here, Hahaue?”
“Filia saved her when she collapsed at the Demon’s Land. After that, she taught Filia magic, and this time she also helped us. That’s why, Lei, stop pointing your spear at Dorothea-san”
“Yeah, Lei-kun. She has been helping us in various ways. That’s why”
……what should I do. I don’t particularly think that all Demon Races are enemies either. However, from this Demon Race woman
“You are the Seven Demon Generals, right? Why are you at a place like this?”
That’s right, an air that resembles Azel, Gilgas, and Benjarl, the other Seven Demon Generals, is coming out from this Demon Race woman.
“Hmm, judging from that, it seems you’ve met the other Seven Demon Generals before huh, sonny”
The Demon Race woman chuckles, which looks like she rarely does, but
“Yeah, since I fought them a few times”
the Demon Race woman, who was surprised by what I say, looks over at me, with eyes that carried a sense of seriousness.
“I fought Azel in the forest near the Royal Capital before summer, Gilgas at the Arcadia State during summer, and the Zombie Hydra that Benjarl created at the Royal Capital just recently”
“Then, the youngster who defeated Gilgas was”
“I guess it was me”
I speak honestly since it isn’t really something to hide. While still having a surprised expression, the Demon Race woman looks over here like she’s appraising me, but perhaps she’s convinced
“I see. In that case, what do you plan to do with me?”
she asks me. Those eyes of hers had a resolved air. However, before I say anything
“Onii-sama!”
, I hear Filia’s voice from behind. I suppose she probably came over because the sounds of fighting could no longer be heard. I look in the direction of the mansion where the voice came from, and Chrona and the others, and the other maids are around as well.
“Onii-sama! Why are you pointing your spear at Dorothea-oneesan!”
And then I got scolded.
“No, she’s a Demon Race, and one of the seven strongest even amongst them……”
“But, she helped us! Does Onii-sama discriminate against them just because they are Demon Races!”
“No, that’s not how it is but…..”
“Then, I want you to treat her the same as the other races!”
Filia goes, ‘Funsuー1‘, and holds both my hands and says to me spiritedly. I look at the Demon Race woman and Filia over and over. Uu, if Filia begs me with her upwards-looking eyes……. It’s unnecessarily effective because I couldn’t pay attention to her until now. It can’t be helped
“Aah geez! I got it! You! If by any chance, you ever try to lay your hands on my family, I won’t let it slide!”
I say to the Demon Race woman while releasing my killing intent. Perhaps the Demon Race woman is used to it; she nods while laughing bitterly. And then
“Thank you, Onii-sama! I love you!”
I was hugged. ……haa. It feels like I will end up giving in to anything with just this. It seems that as far as it goes, regarding the Demon Race woman, Dorothea-san, Sieg had dealt with her as well, and it gives me a peace of mind that Filia, albeit reluctantly, had worn a Restriction Collar on her.
If she said, ‘have it stay removed!’, as expected, there’s no way I could accept it though.
After that, we’re carrying out the confirmation of the soldiers that died during the intrusion this time, and the confirmation of the damage overview of the town, and so forth. Filia and the others are helping out as well with the treatment and the tidying up of the rubble. I’m about to replace the magic barrier, that’s destroyed, with the backup one. Over there
“Lei, forget about the things here, I want you to go to where Sieg is”
I was asked by Elise. However, I shake my head.
“I cannot leave when it is in a state where the safety of this place is still not guaranteed. I’ll be putting up the backup magic barrier, so they will have to wait for a while”
“However, during that time, the war is progressing. If they conducted such a surprise attack here, then that means there might be something happening over there as well. That’s why forget about this place; Lei should also……”
Come to think of it, I didn’t tell them huh. The fact that I didn’t come alone
“It is fine if that is the case”
“Eh?”
Elise, not understanding what she’s being told, tilts her head.
“Headed over there is, Nanor’s Strongest after all”

Runwalker March Fortress
“Larsil Fortress”
“Chargee!”
“Uoooo!”
Tsk, it turned into something troublesome. While holding onto the gash, I give out orders to the other soldiers.
“Sieg-sama, we have to treat your wound!”
“Leave such things for later! More importantly, don’t let the Regalia Army enter the fortress any more! Hold them back no matter what!”
I too hold my spear again and head towards the Regalia Army, that’s climbing up. The other soldiers are suppressing them as well, but there are also soldiers who slip through the cracks. Their objective is to open the gate or to stop the magic barrier.
If the door is opened, the soldiers will pour in all at once, and if the magic barrier is stopped, it’s possible for them to teleport over with Space Magic.
We have to hold them back no matter what! Marco’s side has been broken through as well, and they’re breaking in. Marco too gave his all at fighting, but he’s covered in wounds. It’ll probably be a life or death matter if he bleeds anymore than that.
I mow down the enemies, but once again
“I’m not gonna let you through!”
the youngster cuts in. The youngster’s capability is probably slightly below me. However, his movements improve slightly whenever we fight each other. He really is a troublesome opponent. Since he gets stronger the more we fight.
“Seii!”
“Haa!”
The youngster and I attack each other over and over again. Both our bodies are increasingly covered with wounds as well, but neither the youngster nor I back down. Right when I thought, ‘there’ll be no end if it carries on like this’,
“Mow down Empress Boreas”
there came a voice that I rightfully shouldn’t hear. It’s a voice with a composed air, but it’s more than enough to make my body tremble violently. Wh, why is that person here…….
And then a chill runs down my spine. This is……bad! I, who thought that, was already shouting.
“Everybody, get downnnnn!”
It came out of nowhere, but the Nanor Kingdom’s soldiers got down, but I suppose the Regalia Army thought that this is a chance. They raised their voices louder than before and came attacking, but at that moment
Doun!
a lump of wind fell over from the sky. That lump fell on top of the Regalia Army and exploded. An unbelievable strong and sudden gust of wind blew fiercely, and the Regalia Army, who took the hit directly, was sent into the sky from the overwhelming force of the wind.
It’s such a powerful gust of wind that even we, who have gotten down on the ground, would’ve been blown away if we weren’t clinging on. It’s not something that the standing Regalia Army can withstand.
Three more blasts of that were released. One at Marco’s location. The last two fell on top of the ladders. The ladders were crushed and broken into pieces; the remnants of it were blown away and gave birth to new casualties. And then clad in the wind that feels like it will blow one away just from getting close
“Oh my, did I overdo it?”
it was the moment the Nanor Kingdom’s Strongest joined the war.
