Siegfried and his party were confused when the prisoner, who identified himself as Carl Kansi, explained what was going on.

It’s not difficult, so why doesn’t it come into my head like this? Except for Cheryl, who was aloof somewhere, they looked at each other, wondering if they were the only ones who didn’t understand, and as soon as they realized that they didn’t, they focused their eyes on Siegfried.

There is a time when we lived together, but there is no way we don’t know the meaning of that gaze. Siegfried nodded slowly, pressed his temples, which were still throbbing, and summarized what he had heard.

“So, you are all the companions that Eldmia got from the demon tribe, and that demon army is one of the prisoners captured along the way. A body filled with the thoughts of a god?”

“Exactly.”

“Fucked...”

“Zeke!”

In fact, it was the same with Carl Kansi who did not understand.

Like radiation exposure that can no longer be avoided, ‘You can’t be a hero.’ Siegfried spitting out slang words out of frustration at the terrible future of being ridiculed as a class, Esselua pointing out Siegfried’s vocabulary, and Cheryl’s reaction when she was told that she was safe and sound were all from another world to them. .

As a result, Cheryl was the first to speak while looking carefully at each other as they looked at each other with something very mysterious.

“First of all, I think it’s a priority to enshrine Poro and Sadyeom-nim as friendly camps. It’s better to hurry.”

“Huh? Are you okay?”

And Siegfried, who had not even expected to come to such a conclusion, asked without hiding his surprise.

No matter how much Eldmia herself intended, it was as if she was playing a mad game of tag in the middle of the enemy camp. From Cheryl’s point of view, she thought that it would be difficult to say anything even if she said she would go find Eldmia right away, since the person she liked was in danger and turned off aggro.

“What else could not be okay?”

However, the person concerned only looked at Siegfried with a questionable face, as if it was natural.

“No, he could be in danger. It’s because he’s worried.”

Of course I was worried. However, Cheryl’s rationality was working hard to thoroughly distinguish between public and private affairs.

“...If we had easily overpowered both Emmet-sama and Carl Kansi-sama in the skirmish just now, they would have told us to run right away.”

But it didn’t.

Since Siegfried hadn’t fully demonstrated his ability, he didn’t know what to do, but he even received a counterattack on the subject of attacking that prisoner named Carl Kansi.

Saying you won’t be beaten twice was meaningless in this situation. It is obvious what the result would have been if Carl Kansi had wielded that first blow with sincerity. Even though she was with such talented people, Eldmia insisted on fighting alone.

It is an armor prepared by ‘that’ Esmue with great care. Knights active in ordinary battlefields were things that could be worn for a lifetime if they were well maintained, but now they are bent here and there to the point that I wonder if they were destroyed on purpose. Is that all? I don’t know what the hell it was, but it’s not boring to see the traces of countless holes being punched.

Unlike smiling as if it’s not a big deal, this is the part where you can see how many fierce battles he has gone through. Siegfried involuntarily looked down at his armor, and Cheryl walked over to Eldmia with a gloomy face and hugged him, not paying attention to what she was looking at.

“What is it, are you crying again? Has your child reached puberty? Why do the tear glands break down so easily? And I stink.”

“I won’t cry.”

Unlike Eldmia, who bursts into laughter, various emotions begin to intersect in those around her who are not laughing. It was Carl Kansi who broke the awkward silence that arose there.

“More than that, guests? What are all the friends in the back? Prisoners?”

“It’s similar. We’ll have to share more details, but they didn’t really sympathize with the devil’s ideology. Coincidentally, there was a wizard and the limit of space movement was just right, so I brought him.”

Like a cicada attached to an old tree, Eldmia approached, halfway dragging Sheryl, who didn’t know how to fall. When Eldmia lightly beckoned, they quietly gathered in a corner without any resistance and waited for the next instruction. At first, Siegfried, who was terrified and gave them a look, soon realized that their reaction was different from what he expected.

It’s not really dead eyes, and it doesn’t look tired. Not only did they not engage in a fierce battle, they only gave off the nuance that they had moved away so as not to interfere, but they were still maintaining their ceremonies like soldiers and being wary of their surroundings.

...At first glance, it’s not like a defeated and captured prisoner, but a soldier who listens well.

“One day? I thought I would have to go two more days, but you’ve come down quite a bit, right?”

“It’s thanks to the performance of the Margrave of Levien and the fact that I was able to come down without worrying about the garrison. I haven’t contacted you yet, but I think it will be faster after we pinpoint the location through the documents provided by Thor.”

In the meantime, Eldmia, who properly grasped the situation while talking with Eselua, did not forget to ask Carl Kansi and Entire to hear if there were any other movements around.

“That’s great. I felt like I was about to die of exhaustion, but I feel a little more energetic that I have to work hard for one more day.

“Wouldn’t it be okay? If we gathered this much anyway, wouldn’t it be no problem to encounter the demon king army?”

As expected from Siegfried, who responded with a smirk, no one had any sense of humor, saying that he was tired and that it was impossible to fight in front of the person who helped him. In fact, while two warriors were gathered, I wondered what the enemies would be afraid of, attacking like a point organization.

As if everyone had similar thoughts, Eldmia added as if she had forgotten to say something as she smiled and was about to start moving again.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Most of them won’t come any more.”

“...mostly?”

“Uh. I caught about half of them, and the rest fell out after hitting only the magicians I could see. If it’s not a search group that has fallen in the area, they won’t be able to come even if they want to use magic.”

That’s why I asked if there were any other moves. Siegfried’s gaze, which had been looking at Eldmia, who spoke calmly as if it was not a big deal, moved again to the Demon King’s army gathered in the corner.

I didn’t hear any explanation, but I felt like I knew why they were so obedient.
