<h4>Chapter 343: Castle, PRAISE (1)</h4>


    The road to escape from Peden with Justitia and return to the original city where E was difficult.


    The momentum of the chasing team must have been so fierce.


    Carriages running side by side, numerous arrows and magic spells crossing the space between the carriages.


    Although the background was medieval, it was a spectacle reminiscent of a modern-day chase.


    Still, I was somehow able to escape safely. What are the specifications of this member?


    Returning, meeting A and Karen, who hade before, and another tearful family reunion...


    After so many events that would have been worth a second part if written as a novel, the operation to rescue Justitia came to an end.


    And we settled down at an inn near the inn where A''s mercenary group stayed, and helped A with her work.


    I am not affiliated with a mercenary group. When something happens that requires help, we just actively step in and help.


    It''s not free, and I do get paid for the requests regrly, but that''s not enough.


    If you think about it from A''s perspective, in a situation where it is difficult to be sure who the traitor is, we can be 100% trusted, and our skills are solid, as Flora is a member of the team, and we have the aplishment of rescuing Justitia.


    From our perspective, it is a good thing that we now have a source of ie that does not require us to rip offpensation or engage in false usations.


    Justitia and Keren joined E''s mercenary group.


    It is natural that Justitia originally belonged to the same mercenary group as A, and it is said that Keren also joined the group she was leading.


    A peaceful life where I go and help out when work arises, and when I don''t have work, I hang out with Flora''s family or hang out with Asil.


    It was a bit far from the lewd and provocative daily life I had originally hoped for, but this wasn''t a bad thing.


    A fantasy life, so to speak.


    I heard a story about a hero being defeated by another Demon King''s Army official, and I also heard Asil bragging about having developed a new technology...


    Several weeks passed.


    ◆


    Knock.


    "Come in."


    After hearing the answer toe inside the room, I opened the door.


    There were three men and women in the room.


    One red-haired man and two ck-haired women.


    The red-haired man was Keren Bale, who had joined A the day before.


    The older brother of Flora and E, the younger brother of Justitia, and the eldest son of the Bale royal family.


    Unlike his sisters, he is skilled in swordsmanship and has a good looks that can captivate the hearts of many women.


    Tall height, sturdy muscles without being overly strong, and sharp charismatic eyes.


    Although the direction was different, I could feel from the appearance that Flora''s family was a family.


    However, his right arm was cut below the elbow and was not visible.


    It was an injury sustained during a desperate struggle on the day the kingdom copsed.


    Keren himselfughed it off and said, ''If you think of it as the price of a life, it''s cheap.'' But even from the side, I could see that Flora''s mood became a little depressed every time she saw the wound.


    And in a slightly different way, I felt uneasy every time I saw Keren.


    That''s right, the ce where I saw Karen was in Flora''s dream.


    ''With a face like that, he said it was family love and fucked her siblings... Every time I think things like, ''But her dick was big.'', I get a strange feeling when I look at her face.


    Of course, that''s the Shinigami... Who was it? Was it a tripart? I know it''s a fake setup created by that guy''s power, but it''s hard to erase the first impression that''s stuck in her mind.


    Still, if you erase that first impression and look at it objectively, you can''t deny that he is a handsome man with a refreshing personality.


    I don''t know, but he must be quite popr with women. In fact, after Keren joined, the number of female members in the mercenary group increased.


    And the two dark-haired women next to them were, of course, Justitia and E.


    There is no need to mention these two more.


    There was no need to exin further like Keren did. Because both limbs are well attached.


    Justitia seemed to be experiencing some aftereffects from her long training, but that was her level of charm.


    Her hair is ck. As I said before, it was to hide her body from traitors who might be hiding somewhere.


    Flora was also dyeing her hair ck now.


    "Sister!"


    Flora ran and fell into Justitia''s arms.


    Pat, pat.


    After enjoying Justitia''s voluptuous motherly pouch, she was embraced by A.


    Pat, pat.


    Next is Keren.


    Unlike when they were together in the royal castle, Flora now knew a lot about sexual rtions between men and women, but when Flora was hugged by Keren, there was no trace of awkwardness due to the difference in her gender.


    Yep. This is true family love.


    ... Compared to siblings in real life, there seems to be a big difference.


    After spending some quality time with the siblings, A slowly got to the point.


    "I finally caught the tail."


    "Tail? "Whose?"


    "Hehe. Don''t be surprised. Ats... Ats. "I caught Esq''s tail!"


    "..."


    A proudly dered, sticking out her breasts that were just the right size,rger than Flora and smaller than Justitia.


    But our reaction was just bewilderment.


    Esq? Who is that?


    After a moment of silence, A, sensing that her mood was not as expected, rxed her posture and spoke.


    "What. Why is the reaction so cold? You mean Esq? "We caught the tail of that esq."


    "Hmm... "Sister."


    Among us, Flora was the representative.


    "Who is Esq?"


    Okay. That''s it.


    After hearing Flora''s question, E made a disappointed expression, and Justitia gently shook her head.


    "A. Didn''t you even talk to me properly?"


    "Oh, no. Sister Justy. I definitely told you... ? Flora. Do you really not know? You told me before. An executive of the Demon King''s Army who invaded ''that day.''"


    A only vaguely expressed ''that day'', but anyone could understand what day it meant.


    Flora pounded his palm with her fist.


    "Ah. "I heard that mind control is your specialty?"


    "Yes, him! See, I told you!"


    "No, I just heard that mind control is your specialty. This is the first time I''ve heard that name?"


    "Ah."


    A made a dumb expression.


    The charismatic mercenary leader we saw when we first met A disappeared and was nowhere to be found.


    After joining Justitia and Keren, A often showed this rxed mood.


    I guess it''s because the burden on his shoulders has be lighter. It was also friendly to me, and I didn''t feel like it was changing for the worse.


    Justitia exined instead of E.


    People who are mentally controlled by the Demon King''s Army executives or SQs end up stealing information without even realizing that they are cooperating with the Demon King''s Army.


    Due to such characteristics, it is not noticeable on the outside, and it is not easy to find traces of magical mind control, so there are many difficulties in hunting down traitors and esques.


    The situation changed with the joining of Justitia.


    Beyond simply having more free time in the mercenary group''s work, Justitia''s search began to progress little by little as she began to utilize her magical abilities.


    The results appeared just a few days ago.


    After reviewing it several times, they called us right away.


    "ESQ is around here now."


    The ce E pointed to on the map was a city located a little far from the front line.


    The city''s name is Phrase.


    However, the problem is that the direction of separation is not toward humanity, but toward the Demon King''s army.


    In other words, it was a ce that could be reached by going a little further than the front line.


    "So? "I guess the reason you called us is that you have something to ask of us."


    "That''s right. We can''t leave this guy alone. She needs to deal with it somehow, and she needs help."


    "Please go and deal with it by ourselves. If it''s something like this, I''ll refuse. No matter what, it''s hard for the Demon King''s Army executives."


    To be honest, with my current strength, it''s notpletely impossible, and I think it could be possible if I twist my body a bit, but I don''t want to go through that kind of trouble.


    "By yourselves? No way. We have a cute youngest child, so there''s no way he would do something dangerous like that. "What I want to ask you to do is serve as an advance guard."


    "Advance team?"


    "Would it be more appropriate to call it a scout role? From what we''ve checked, it''s clear that it''s nearby, but we don''t know its exact location. So, there are two things I would like to ask of you."


    First. The exact location of the esque.


    However, since there is no way to obtain information about the Demon King''s Army executives that easily, even an approximate location is okay.


    They say you can do something with magic if you just go nearby.


    And second. Presence or absence of other risks.


    Since it is the territory of the Demon King''s army, beyond the front lines, there may be unexpected variables.


    The role was to arrive first and check the surroundings to identify such dangers.


    It really is a scout role.


    "If that''s the case. But what are you going to do about it? There are only three of us, so even if we managed to hide, it wouldn''t be easy for so many mercenaries to move."


    "What. We''ll do something about it ourselves. It might be a little difficult, but not impossible. So, would you please ept the request?"


    "Hmm... Do I have to decide now?"


    "No. But I hope you make a decision as soon as possible."


    After hearing the whole story, we left the room and talked separately.


    As a result.


    After a long discussion, it was decided to ept the request.
