It rattles and the warehouse doors open after hours except for the once-a-day food and drink allowance.

Usually, newly brought in people (humans) are pushed in, but ...... this time was different.

The first time I went to the storehouse, I saw a man of the beast race blocking the entrance, except for the guards, and he was searching for the human beings inside.

They were like, "d*mn!　Humans (inferior species) are not only incompetent, they also smell terrible!"

It's true, totally ...... let's just get it over with."

I guess." However, this warehouse is for hostages only, and there are few people who can fight, so the job will be done soon.

One of the beastmen flips through a stack of papers and checks the inside of the warehouse.

It is dimly lit, but this level of darkness is no obstacle for the beastmen.

This guy, that guy, and that guy in the back have experience as adventurers. There should be two more ...... magicians, one of whom should be left as a hostage, and one of whom should be taken away."

What?

At this line, Quone shudders and shudders.

The gazes of the beastmen standing in the doorway were focused on her and Mya.

Quone was so frightened by the stares of the beastmen that she could not even speak, only tremble.

Unlike her, Mya stood up and came forward.

I am the magician. I will go outside.

Mi, miya ......!

Quone called out Miyah's name as she came forward, but she could only tremble, unable to muster the courage to come forward on her own behalf.

Mya, on the other hand, turns to Quorn and smiles, without a trace of resentment.

She smiled to reassure Kuone, as if to say, "I'll be fine.

The beastmen need a magician who can fight in a war.

The two are shaken and unable to move, and Mya, who still has time to care for her opponent, would have inevitably chosen the latter.

Come here. Don't think about anything bad. You don't want to let the hostage die, do you?"

The beastman approaches Miya and, while issuing a threat, grabs her by the hand and leads her to the doorway.

Mya obediently complies, but her eyes still have not lost their light.

The other beastmen, wary of the intensity of Mya's eyes, screened out the others who might be able to fight and closed the warehouse door again.

After they finished locking the door, they started moving, leaving only the guards behind.

In doing so, he did not forget to stick the nail in the coffin.

Don't waste time trying to get out of the warehouse, okay?　If you go against us, we will kill the hostages in the warehouse and the people you know in other places. Don't just kill them. We will make you suffer so much that you will regret having been born. We will not kill you. You will be tortured and killed for your futile resistance. To prevent that from happening, you will follow our instructions like adults, do you understand?"

There was no response from those who were let out of the warehouse, but the beast race did not ask for anything else, only what they wanted to say, and they started to walk around the perimeter.

Mya and the others meekly followed their movements and began to walk according to where they were headed.

A small animal was watching them.

However, neither the beastmen nor Mya and the others were able to notice this small animal.

Mei, Aoyuki, and Ellie gather in the office at the lowest level of the Abyss.

I sit down in my office and face them.

Ellie, I heard that the Allied Beastmen Powers finally sent us, the "Tower of Titan," a written declaration of war.

Yes, sir. We received a very superior document from a beast that doesn't know its own size.

Ellie says in summary: "To the witches who are getting carried away with being human (an inferior species). We, the proud beast race, will crush you in war. Come alone to the date, time, and place we specify. If you bring an army of dragons with you, we will kill the humans (inferior species) in the United Beastmen Nation. As long as you have the incompetent principle of absolute independence of the human race, you will not leave the humans (inferior species) to die, right?　Oh, witch!

It was not so much a declaration of war as it was a statement that was made in a superior and idiotic manner, apparently.

Apparently, from their point of view, they don't doubt their victory.

I leaned back in my chair in the office and asked.

Aoyuki, have you been able to locate the hostages and the human slaves?

The "-- this. No problem. The fools involved in this case have also been identified.

Mae, how are the arrangements for the reception coming along?

We have a manual, fairy maids, supplies, and emergency procedures in place.

Ellie, what are the arrangements for rescuing the hostages, the human slaves, and what is the procedure for dealing with the beast race?

Neither is a problem. The inventory of "SSR, Transition" cards will temporarily be greatly reduced for the rescue of hostages, etc., but the "UR, Second Shadow" cards of the God of Light (Shinsama) will be available for the rescue. The pace and probability of "Double Shadow" and others are acceptable enough for us to expect replenishment. We have received permission to use the Mythology Class and with the cooperation of Mr. Aoyuki, we are confident that we will be able to kill every single beast that stands on the battlefield.

'Great ...... great, all three of you. You are my Mei, Aoyuki, and Ellie, and I am so lucky to have not only the three of you, but everyone in the "NARAku."

I could not contain my gratitude for the perfect job the three of them had done, and I praised them with open arms.

Mei, Aoyuki, and Ellie each voiced their delight at this praise.

All of this is for the sake of my maid, Mr. Light. I don't really need any compliments, but thank you very much for your kind words."

Nya~"

For the sake of the Lord of Light, Ellie would drink even lava, and devour all life on earth!　Please let me offer my life, my body, and every drop of my blood to the Light God!

All three responded to me with a look of heartfelt happiness.

I nodded with a smile, pleased with their reaction.

I tell them with a pure smile on my face.

Then, after rescuing the human slaves and hostages being held captive by the Allied Beastmen, let's kill all the beastmen on the battlefield. Let's slaughter every single one of those pathetic fools who think they can kill us if they use all the humans as shields, with the intention of killing even their souls.

I assured everyone with a smile, as if I were telling them what to buy tomorrow.

The massacre of the beast race on the battlefield was confirmed at this moment.
