“Generallllllll!-General Orbooooosーーー!”

Mage Chubos, who should have gone to the front of the plaza to check on the situation, returned to General Orbos, weaving through the full-body armored soldiers.

A broad smile was plastered on his white-painted face... but the intense sounds of battle were still echoing from the front of the plaza.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

What’s going on?

Just as General Orbos was about to ask Chubos that question...

“Now, look into my eyesーーー!”

Chubos’s eyes glowed an eerie green, and his consciousness sank into a warm and comfortable drowsiness.

“Heyーーー, General Orbos... I think a black-haired, black-eyed girl is going to come here soonーーー...”

“Yes...”

“‘Defeat her, even at the cost of your life’.”

“Yes...”

“Well, if you actually kill her, I’ll be in a bit of trouble... butーーー...”

“Yes...”

“It’ll probably be fine! She’s not someone you can defeat! Fight with all your might, and buy me as much time as possible!”

“Yes...”

“She’s a merciless opponent, so you’ll probably be killed... but...”

“............”

“Do your best anyway! You’re dying on the battlefield, that’s what you want, right?”

“...Well...”

“You’ll face the strongest enemy and fight to the end without backing down a single step! Isn’t that cool?”

“...Yes...”

“You’re a warrior of the honorable Tomooou family, right?”

“Yes...!”

“Are you a coward?”

“No...!”

“Then you can’t run away, can you?”

“That’s right...!”

“You’ll fight at the cost of your life, right!? You’re a hero, right!?”

“Of course... Of course I am!!”

General Orbos, spurred on by Chubos’s words, opened his drowsy eyes wide, his fighting spirit burning, and swung his large sword around!

Chubos nodded with satisfaction, and then, with a theatrical gesture, put on a sad face and lowered his eyebrows.

“But I’m a little sorry! To ask such a dangerous thing of you, General...”

“Guhaha! Don’t worry, Chubos-dono! I, too, have no intention of easily falling behind the council faction nobles’ lapdogs!”

Zaan!

General Orbos, thrusting his large sword into the cobblestones, laughed boisterously.

“Is thaaat so? But but, as an apology! I’ll teach you a special magic spell, General!”

“A special... magic spell...?”

Chubos, grinning, said to General Orbos, who tilted his head.

“Listen carefully, there’s a lid on the left shoulder of your armor, see? When the enemy appears, open it, press the protrusion inside, and say this...”

That conversation happened a few minutes ago.

After telling General Orbos about the ‘special magic spell’, Chubos headed towards the Duke’s mansion, where La Sbos Daychib is waiting.

And shortly after that, General Orbos’s “enemy to be defeated at the cost of his life”, the black-haired, black-eyed girl, arrived at his location, destroying the Mechanical Soldiers one after another.

General Orbos first unleashed a powerful horizontal slash at the girl.

He’s one of the best swordsmen in the country, having mastered the Sword Saint Style, and his skills are high.

“With this... I can win! Guhaha... GUHAHAHAHAーーー!!”

For some reason, General Orbos seemed to be able to freely move his thick arms and legs, formed by the attached Mechanical Soldiers and other debris, as if they were his real limbs.

He swung his arms and legs, testing them, and then turned to face Emi, laughing triumphantly.

“Now, prepare to die, Grim Reaper-like girl...!”

And then, General Orbos held up his giant fist towards her.

...But.

“H-Haaaaah!? I-I can’t move!?”

“Hiiiih!? What’s this? What is thiiisーーー!?”

...At that moment, some commotion could be heard from around General Orbos’s enlarged chest.

Wondering what was going on, he looked, and there was a white-furred werewolf with white-rimmed glasses, and a gaunt, emaciated man wearing a robe that looked like rags.

Apparently, he had accidentally caught them when he was pulling in the Mechanical Soldiers earlier.

“Let go of me! Let go of meーーー!!”

“He’s coming... he’s comingーーー!!”

And these two men, they were really noisy.

They kept shouting incomprehensible things.

He can’t fight with these things stuck to him.

It’s breaking his concentration.

General Orbos, using his giant right arm, mercilessly tried to crush the two men stuck to his chest.

But... it was at that moment!

ZUGAGAGAGAGA!!

With a tremendous roar, a black, giant shadow... burst out of the narrow back alley, destroying its walls, and into the Third Plaza!!

“M-What!?”

That black, giant something was charging straight towards General Orbos!

General Orbos instinctively tried to dodge it, but he hadn’t yet grasped the sensation of his own enlarged body.

So, he couldn’t completely avoid it.

His right arm was hit by the black, giant something’s charge.

That moment.

His right arm.

BAGAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

With a deafening roar, scattering the remains of Mechanical Soldiers around it.

...It was blown off.

“HAAAAAAAAAAH!?”

It was blown off from the elbow down.

It was a part that had been augmented by the power of the armor, and since it didn’t include General Orbos’s flesh and blood, there was no pain.

However, the shock of having his right arm destroyed by something unknown, just when he thought he had become invincible, brought back the emotion of fear to General Orbos’s heart, which should have been sealed by Chubos’s brainwashing!

No matter how terrifying Emi, the monster he’s facing, is, he doesn’t feel fear.

That’s how he’s been brainwashed.

But what if it’s a monster other than Emi?

The answer is... self-explanatory, if you look at his pale face and the cold sweat dripping from his face!

Thud!!!

Now, that giant something that destroyed General Orbos’s right arm stopped flying and landed on the cobblestones of the Third Plaza.

And then, it slowly turned around to face General Orbos.

It was.

A giant beetle with a black, glossy shell and five horns.

A terrifying monster with an extraordinary obsession with honey.

Its name is...

Destroy Bunbun!!!
