When the teleportation magic circle conjured by Rain disappeared, the surroundings became silent.

Just the absence of a few made such a huge difference. That was amazing.

“Your Highness Iris… Please don’t be too sad…”

Claire said to me as I stared at the place where the magic circle was.

“I understand that Your Highness had a happy and wonderful time when that guy came here. But… That guy lives in a different world from nobles, after all. If you invest too much emotionally in a man, you’ll feel devastated when the time comes for you to marry. If you wish to scold me, please feel free to do so. But Princess, you have to understand…”

Claire then lowered her head deeply. I couldn’t see her eyes.

Next to her, Rain also lowered her head.

“I’m fine, please raise your heads.”

The two of them lifted their heads slowly when they heard that.

Just from the pained expressions on their faces, I understood how worried they were for me, and their resolve when they made their decision.

I didn’t hate them at all.

There was no reason to.

– The next morning.

The capital was in upheaval after what happened last night.

That was expected, since the legendary chivalrous thief duo stormed the castle and robbed the princess’s magic item by force.

And there were many powerful adventurers in the castle that night.

Legends about the exploits of the silver-haired man and masked man exploded within the capital in an instant.

– And right now.

Something incredible was happening in the room I was in.

“D-D-Darkness, please, calm down! There’s a reason for this, ahhh! It’s cracking, it’s cracking, my skull’s going to explode!”

“Hey, listen to my explanation! After listening, you’ll understand that this is for a good cause! Please, listen to me first! I can’t take it if you use any more strength, I’ll die!”

“I’ll listen! I’ll listen, all right? Right, I’m listening! This is just preparation before I listen to your explanation! I’ll judge after listening to your explanation whether I’ll strangle you two to death!”

Part 1

In the capital that was shrouded by darkness, Chris and I headed toward the castle.

According to her, infiltrating the castle by cover of night would be the best course of action.

After achieving overwhelming victory against the Demon King’s army, the guards would be more relaxed about their duties.

“Hey, what do you have there? It looks cool. Where’d you get it from?”

Chris, her mouth covered with a black cloth, said as she looked at me.

“This was given to me by a suspicious clerk working in a certain magic item shop in Axel. I heard that it’s a top seller.”

To avoid exposing my identity, I put on the mask Vanir gave me.

“Hmm~ I want one too, what kind of person is that suspicious clerk?”

“What kind…? … He works diligently in chasing the noisy crows away from the trash area, known in the neighborhood as ‘Crow-Slayer Vanir-san’…”

“Hmm~ Isn’t he a really earnest guy? I want to meet him!”

Part 1

“Demon King’s army raid alert! Demon King’s army raid alert! We detected a Demon King’s army group forming up in the plains nearby! Knight Corps, prepare to move out. Because of the massive scale of the attack, we’re appealing for the adventurers within the capital to join in the battle! All high-level adventurers, please gather in front of the castle immediately!”

The broadcast echoed through the capital at dawn.

At the same time, the quiet inn had started getting rowdy.

“Kazuma, you awake? Did you hear the broadcast just now? Get your gear ready!”

Along with Darkness’s frantic shouts, a knocking sound came from the door.

“I’m still sleeping.”

“Idiot, this isn’t the time for jokes! The Demon King’s army is here; we have to join in the fight too!”
