Chapter 142 – Operation to Rescue the Star Princess (1)

I finally calmed down my pounding heart,
Only after the nosebleed has stopped
I could look at Angela.

Well, let’s stay calm. That’s just a swimsuit.
Or it’s just a gym suit.
Let us look at it with a reverent heart.
Let’s breathe Inhale, exhale.
Wet, whoops. Wet, whoops.

“How strong is your strength?”

“Well. I do not know.”

“… Um, would you like to arm wrestle?”

First, unlock the transformation and sit down with Angela at her table.
Try arm wrestling
After the transformation is completed, the uniform returns naturally to its original appearance.
Well, what a strange structure.
It’s not like your clothes are torn, right?

“Phew, lord. You are strong.”

With all three matches, we won all three matches.
But,

“Aren’t you too tough?
I used a lot of energy.
Then let’s transform.”

Flash!
Sharalala~~

Rainbow lights pass by, as if you hear some background music,
Arm wrestling with Angela wearing Valkyrie armor.

“Ready, time… Work!”

That is.
It was a mistake.

Kwaaaaang!!

Kwajik.

“Uh… ?”

“Oh!!! Lord!! Are you okay?!?!”

“Kyaaaaa!!! I’m Kamuniy!!!
Sir Angela, what are you doing!!!
Camus! Put this in your mouth!
I will treat you right away!!”

My arm is broken and I am hanging around.
Even the hand is slightly crushed… Looks like… ?
It’s a bonus that the table is broken.

“Aww…”

“Sorry, lord!!
How dare I hurt my lord… !!!”

Angela gets up and apologizes while bending over.

“No. Experience it beforehand, ugh!! I’m glad.
It’s okay because Marie is by my side.
… Marie, will you be all right?”

Marianne is sweating.

“… Yes. Fortunately, my arm was broken very cleanly.
I think it will be fine.”

“Sorry! Sorry!!”

Angela keeps her head down.
Ugh. Who knew it would be like this…

After her recovery, Angela unleashes her transformation again.

“But, is there any problem with unlocking the transformation?”

“… The wasted power is too much.
It feels like most of the magic is consumed just by installing it.
She only transformed twice,
I have very little magic attribute left.”

“It’s hard to transform often.”

“Yes. Oh.
May I pass the Valkyrie Armor to Marianne?”

Angela’s sudden question is embarrassing.

“Why?”

“I ride the Royal Griffon in case of emergency.
You can enter the palace by air,
Marianne is difficult.”

“The Royal Griffon can ride up to two people, right?
Doesn’t someone just have to go in with Marianne behind her?”

Angela shook her head.

“You can burn it, but it adds weight and slows you down.
It’s also uncomfortable when moving.
If Amity is the royal castle, if that is also the palace
The anti-aircraft fire net must be dense.
It’s hard to dodge with two people on board.
I am confident in riding the Royal Griffon,
I’d rather give Marianne the Valkyrie Armor
It is better to invest in the right place for treatment.”

“Okay. So let’s do it.
But how do you deliver it?
Doesn’t this belong to you?”

Earlier, the magic response engine marbles changed to the color of Angela’s magic wavelength.

Worries were in vain.
As Angela closed her eyes and muttered something,
A fist-sized magic response engine bead
It changed to a transparent color and was placed on Angela’s hand.

“Ruler. Miss Marianne. Get this bead.
I will tell you how to wear it.
Learn from me how to fly and how to use it today.”

“Yes!!”

Marianne’s eyes are bright.

* * *

The next day.
30,000 Amitie military re-selection corps
It is the day to depart for the Demon King.

I find time to visit the old maid Eva’s house.

“Oh, my master!!
How did you get here?!?!”

An old maid who welcomes you.

“What.
I came to play with you and give you something delicious as usual.
Haha, Yonsuks. How are you?”

“Wow, it’s Mr. Kamu.”

“President. I’m the boss.”

“Oooh, Kyaa!”

Three children around the age of ten come out.
They are Eva’s grandchildren.

“Oh my, the boss is here?”

Eva’s daughter-in-law also comes out.
Neat face.
Raising three children as a single mother is not easy.

“Hello.
I bought pork cutlets that kids like.
Oh. This is honey
Use it to soothe the kids whenever they don’t listen.
There is also salt here, so make sure to brush your teeth.”

“Ahh, every time it’s like this…
He always plays with the children and takes care of them…”

Eva’s daughter-in-law has tears in her eyes.

“Master, adult!! When I come to my house
Didn’t I tell you again and again to come with both hands light!!
Always give me work, give me a lot of salary…
This house is no different than the owner gave it to me!!
Even just finding my son is a benefactor…”

I never found Eva’s son.
… I just returned the body of Eva’s son.

To be precise, it was right before I resigned from the position of corps commander.

[What’s the fuss?]

[Brigade commander. That is…]

An old human female came to the vicinity of the demon king’s camp
He hit the ground and wept bitterly.
After the Belseburg Peace Accords came into effect,
Pursuant to the ban on the killing of civilians
The demon army guard reported according to the manual.
In a situation where there is no possibility or effect of spying
Defeat the human old man who came near the garrison
It looks troublesome.

[I heard that my son did not come back from the battlefield,
Even the body is returned.]

[Okay? I’ll go myself.]

I went out of the garrison while wearing an iron mask.
It’s just a local war anyway.
There is nothing to shy away from.

And the mournful voice of a mother who lost her son.
… It’s a different race, but it’s a bit salty.

[When I asked myself,
I heard that the old woman’s son’s clothes are like this.
Sprinkle impressions on patrol and search teams.
I will reward you with your own money.]

I found it unexpectedly quickly.
The human old woman’s son just a few days ago
This is because he was among the corpses engaged by friendly search parties.
… I was the one who authorized the engagement.

I take off my iron mask and hide my horns, pretending to be human.
Returned the body.
… I was a coward who didn’t want to hear resentment.

Foolish human females who don’t even know that I’m a demon
I said I would repay you with tears in my eyes.
… Being stupid

[If you see me later, treat me to a meal.]

… No matter how heterogeneous a pagan,
The one who killed the child did not dare to repay the mother.
It was just a word I gave as a greeting.
The old human female bowed her head and repeated herself.

And a few years later, lost in a duel with Nene
The day I was dispatched to the human kingdom, Amitie.
Due to the disciplinary dispatch, the salary cannot be paid,
His severance pay could not be settled, and he had no time to visit his house.
The place where I barely arrived because I ran out of money.

On the outskirts of the temple, I met the old human female again.

[No, aren’t you the one who found my son at that time?!]

When I think about it again, I was so mentally drained that I had no shame.
They ate meals and stayed at the house.

So even after setting up an herbal shop,
The relationship has continued until now.

“These guys!! The boss told me not to cut my hair!!”

Haha, it’s okay. Ellie is in good shape today.”

“Kuu, chiaaa!!”

“Elijah. Gather your siblings
Let’s eat something delicious with Uncle~~”

Ellie is one of Eva’s grandchildren, and she is autistic.
So she can’t speak and only makes sounds.
I periodically heal this guy’s mind.
If you continue to treat
I wonder if everyday life would be possible.

“Aww, boss. You can’t accept too many children.”

“I’m playing because I’m having fun, well. Haha.
Please let me know if there is something wrong with the education.
I will stop.
Oh my! No food!! I bought everything to eat!!
I bought this because I was afraid they would prepare food for me!!
Do not!!”

Eva’s daughter-in-law even though I waved her hand not to eat,
Make something else to eat.
… She lost her husband
Enlisting the help of her mother-in-law, Eva
I am raising three children.
… If she knew I killed her husband
Won’t you spit on me for being a hypocrite?

I play with the kids and eat the food I bring.
Kids run out of stamina
I fall asleep from starvation.

“Oh. Eva.”

“Yes, master.”

“… Never leave the house tomorrow,
Close the door and stay inside.
Grandchildren and daughters-in-law.
Chapter preview today.
Tomorrow, put wooden boards on the windows,
Whatever happens,
Whatever it sounds like,
Never. Don’t come out.”

Eva tilts her head.

“Yes? Ellie wants to go out
That wouldn’t work…”

“Eva. Promise. Tomorrow never comes out
If you come out and get caught by me, you will be fired?”

“All right.
If the owner said something, there must be a reason.”

I got a promise from Eva to keep going.

On the way back to the garrison.
More than a day’s worth
I saw a family picture on my pendant

* * *

Finally, the long-awaited day to infiltrate the royal palace of Amity has dawned.
As reselected yesterday, 30,000 people departed for Devil’s Castle.
All Stella-supporting aristocrats did not join the re-selection team, so
The chance of seizing the capital of Amity has increased.

And I’m in a private tent in the lightblinger
Gathered from early morning with Jacques and Ludwig.

“If you cast mind control on the star princess,
This war is half won.
So let’s try harder.”

“Captain, I don’t understand.
Is a star princess that important?”

He raises one hand and answers kindly to Zach, who asks.
Also I’m a good boss
Haven’t you already introduced the advanced barracks culture?
Praise myself.

“Then. A total of three reasons.
First, Princess Stella is the rightful heir to the throne.
If you push the star princess to be the rightful queen
There will be a civil war between humans,
Even humans are divided.
They would fight among themselves for the throne,
Where can you afford to invade the Demon Castle?”

“Hmm, sure.”

I spread two fingers.

“Second, in the process of rescuing the star princess
I can control my mind
This is theoretically possible for any other king, but
It’s difficult in reality.
But the star princess is locked up,
Infiltration is done by the three of us.
If I mind control the star princess during the rescue process,
The king of the human kingdom came into the hands of us demons.
I can make any unreasonable peace treaty or declaration of defeat.”

“Oh oh!! Also!! Then what is the third reason?”

Ludwig seems to be interested too, so he interjects.

I spread three fingers.

“Third, the magical ability of the star princess is fraudulent.
Therefore, even with military activities, we can gain an overwhelming advantage.”

At my words, Ludvik tilted his head.

“… Yes?
The story that the princess of the stars knows how to use offensive magic
Deb show you haven’t heard?”

I passed Ludvik’s words
Spread out the map of Amitye Palace on the table.

“You should know that. I’ll explain after the operation.
First of all, I will definitely get a promise before infiltrating.”

Widely.

I put my hand on the table and closed my eyes
Look in turn

“… In this operation, besides the three of us
Trust no one
Including Angelana and Marianne.
Duke Dupre too.”

Gulp.

“If a Demon Lord army other than the three of us suddenly appears,
Don’t ask, don’t ask, just cut it off.
It doesn’t matter if you volunteer as an assistant or if you already know each other.
Do you know why?”

“… You are saying that you are a traitor.”

Heavy Ludvik’s horse.
I nod.

“We went through the Cathedral Terror.
The Demon King’s army could be here as well.”

Zach raises his hand once more.

“Why do you say not to trust the vice-captain or big breasts?
… In fact, the captain of the three of us
Don’t you believe in them more than anyone else?
Didn’t you entrust the Valkyrie Armor to Big Breasts too?”

… It’s a poignant question.

“That’s right. But mind-controlling the star princess
It was an action only for me and for the demon lord.
Angela and Marie are human anyway.
Mind control magic is my ultimate skill,
In case their ego is strengthened and weakened
If there is a variable, it’s a big deal.”

“I’ve been mentally controlled until now.
Has anyone come out of it by themselves?”

I shook my head at Ludvik’s words.

“No. Doesn’t exist.
… Even my master couldn’t solve it.”

I know because I bet on Nene during the duel.
I set the unprecedented record of being the runner-up in the 22nd Magic Tournament.
It was all thanks to mind control magic that I was able to build it.
Once you get caught, you get one shot, and I get one too.
It is a fair bamboo spear for all.

Ludvik tilted his head.

“No, if even Nene couldn’t solve it, no matter how
No matter what the saint said, she would never be able to solve it, right?”

“Even if you are mentally controlled, if you act against your values,
You may hesitate at a crucial moment.
For example, stopping at the words ‘Kill Queen Catherine’ or something like that.
So, in the end, what matters is what we have to do.
Any decision on an infiltration mission is contested.”

Point out the map, explain the infiltration route, and distribute roles.
Considering the opinions of Jacques and Ludwig,
Revise the plan of operation and complete the establishment of the plan.

“Thank you for following me this far, gentlemen.
… You can get out of here if you’re scared.
I do not resent you.”

Food.
Foot.

Jacques and Ludwig cannot help laughing.

“Captain. My name is the Demon King’s Special Law,
Would you embarrass yourself and run away before the showdown?
Please don’t make a foolish provocation.”

Hmm.
What about Jacques?

“Captain, what are you going to do if I really fall for you?
Are you bluffing? Tsk tsk.
No, there are only three people.
The captain infiltrates and Ludwig provides support fire,
Aren’t I going to observe and cover you?
There are only three people, so why is it ‘get out of the person you want to fall into’?
Hot hot ha!!!”

Shit.

“Really? Thanks.
Either way, there is only you. Cubs.”

Chuck. Chuck.

Both thumbs up.

“Now, to commemorate the participation, let’s fight and start.”

“Ah, what fighting are you doing?”

“Sometimes fighting. Clumsy.”

“Hey, don’t do that, let’s just do it once.
Come on, gather around.”

“Ugh…”

Everyone builds a statue of bamboo, walks around and puts their hands together.

“Come on, one, two, three, fighting! Let’s do it.
One, two, three, fighting!”

… Fighting was also only said by me,
The hands were all in the wrong direction, up and down.

“Hey! Fighting should be shouted together!!
And isn’t it a national rule to lower your hands in fighting?!?!”

“It is served in our province.”

“Ugh, it’s been a while since I’ve done this…”

… There are only three of us, but our hands and feet are already out of sync.
… Are we really okay?
