[A/N: If you like the story so far, consider supporting it using golden tickets, gifts, powerstones or reviews. It'd help the story a lot!]

"From "DD"-san on the joint clan chat. Unlikely can join."

"Why?"

"In the town people attacking people big chaos like."

"Vigilante group aside, army also moving right?"

"That army seems attacking."

"Ha?"

Oops. This above the expected diagonal.

"Omolocchi!"

I loudly called Omolocchi who seems discussing various at the reception. Noticed that voice and Omolocchi runs come.

"Thank for the suppression. However a bit bad."

"Army attacking people said."

"Ue? Really? No way even army infiltrated?"

"Maybe not level infiltrated. Because "DD" unable to come this side degree."

"Damn. Chamber of Commerce also not thought that far. Bad."

First saw Omolocchi making this much impatient face. Thought arm gently grabbed and was Akie. Staring at me. What, that eyes.

Of course understand what appealing. Just not put into words.

"Omolocchi. Me several preparations. Understanding the feeling want to somehow Baden-Baden's scandal in Baden-Baden and offer."

Omolocchi looking at me with serious face.

"When emergency rely."

Omolocchi staring at me.

"Understood. When emergency without reserve rely."

Said so and grinned, and again ran to the reception.

"Arena."

"TANGE" who came handing over the suppressed 3 people group said. Looking at the panel, the arena also amazing fuss.

The vigilante group who went to stop the believers had hard time, and there the former gladiators of bodyguard role who rushed seemed defeating the believers. However where number many and pushed, current gladiators participated. Now, here.

Like this the gladiators not inferior in number overwhelm.

"That, "Max"-san."

"A-really. Finally showed figure."

To the place of the samurai Yorimichi defeated in the earlier match finally "Max" came out with party. On the spot cast "Heal" on Yorimichi, and Yorimichi safely stood up.

And there the last believer who attacked the neck flew with brilliant "iai." However the colosseum not wrapped in cheers.

From the organizer announcement entered outside the colosseum dangerous. Instruction to stay in the colosseum.

"From the Chamber of Commerce outing prohibition order out. With evacuation instruction colosseum and racecourse designated as evacuation places. Ones unable to evacuate indoors head there."

The returned Omolocchi told.

"Colosseum the gladiators should protect. Problem racecourse."

"No means to protect the evacuees from the believers?"

"Right, army not completely controlled, so remaining units trying to turn to defense, but originally almost unable to move."

"Where?"

"Eh?"

"Where the remaining force there?"

"North barracks. Army training ground also north of Baden-Baden."

"Can guide? Dangerous though."

"Hehe, interesting, Blue. Among guided until now outstanding. Board."

Omolocchi grinned fearlessly. Yeah, good face. Then, force breakthrough.

"Akie, "DD" this side and racecourse and barracks, where close?"

"Detailed unknown but probably near the central square, so think can go anywhere."

"Then, say head to the racecourse. "TANGE," leave the colosseum to you. "Max" also powerful as serious, but not much trustable."

"Understood. Respond to the clan master's expectation and show."

"Reliable. Then go."

I took the women and Omolocchi and left the lounge.

"A bit setups done. Refrain waste of "skills"."

"Yes, Master."

"Lime, Gill. Made wait. Turn."

"Yes, Master."

Took the north route, on the street corpses apparently killed by believers rolling. Voices seeking help while moaning but ignore.

"Master, believers ahead."

If possible want to ignore but just no cover street, and already found this side. Believers about 5. Already counterattacked from general citizens, or shoulder almost dislocated, or head caved. Scary not caring that at all.

"Mizurii, Nanao, Gill."

While running designate 3 to the front.

"Yes, Master."

From the running formation 3 further accelerate. Gill's hood rolls and face exposed, but no one here raising surprise voice seeing that. Glance at Omolocchi, but calm.

The front 3 suppressed the 5 believers in an instant without using any skill.

Cut one arm and if still move the other arm. If still move order fly the neck. This time's 5 all stopped without flying the neck.

Further run through the street.

When found the boy clinging to the dead mother and crying indeed heart hurt.

Ignore.

Ignoring rational.

If saving all no end.

More than that something to prioritize.

Glance at Akie's face running beside. Biting the lips.

What face, already.

I stopped the feet and returned several steps.

"Oi, boy. Not forever crying there."

"Master."

Akie inserts a voice as if blaming. Of course ignore.

"Want to die together with the mother who died protecting you? Make the mother's death waste? No guts."

Raised the crying face, and the boy surely looks at me.

Good, get angry. Anger is power.

"If want to die, now kill. If no quickly escape into the house there."

The boy stood up and glared at me. Flowing blood from the arm.

"Akie, "Heal"."

"Yes, Master."

Akie ran and healed the wound with "Heal." Prompted by Akie the boy, ran to the nearby building. And stopped at the entrance and bowed this way.

I again started running. The women who stopped also start running.

The Akie who glances satisfied face.

"Interesting man, you."

Omolocchi lined beside me and said.

"Thought cold, but give warmth. Really unreadable."

"The self think must be cold, and the self want to show warmth and look cool there. Not such cool thing."

Hearing that Omolocchi laughed while running.

"What, human-like. Dilemma thing?"

"Right. While thinking want to become man loved and adored, also think wishing such uncool. While thinking want to be liked rather than hated, also think such not suit me."

While saying made notice self had such thoughts.

"Well, anyone living holding some dilemma. People always decide while swaying."

"If Omolocchi says so, so."

"Oops, again believers."

This time 2 believers trying to invade the residence from the broken window. Somehow from inside the residents desperately resisting not let the believers invade.

"Lime. After defeating catch up."

"Yes, Master."

Sent Lime, and we continued running to the destination barracks.

"That."

Omolocchi says. Already the gate broken. Believers gathering at the barracks just from the gate.

"Many."

"Think more than 20."

Already, Lime caught up. Nodded and returned to my gaze.

"If number many mix. Freeze at once. Haruki, make."

"Yes, Master."

Haruki comes forward holding "SR Magician's Vice." When chant the spell at once 4 blue magic circles float.

"Chill to the Bone" "Chill to the Bone"

Lower power than "Absolute Zero," but chant freezing magic aimed at freezing and sealing movement rather than damage.

Increase power with "SR Magician's Vice," and further double with proxy magic.

Cold air wraps the believers in a vortex. The believers gathering at the barracks freeze at once.

Head to the barracks, and peek inside. Whether saw the believers froze and stopped movement, the door opens.

"Sorry, saved. A-Omolocchi."

"Yo, good safe. How many?"

"About 20."

"Only that?"

"Others there but attacked. This side? A-that young lady the pure heart fighter out as gladiator?"

Nanao blushes. Indeed the pure heart crown embarrassing.

"This side Blue. For reasons having one skin peeled for Baden-Baden's crisis."

"So, that thankful. Me Dahud of Leonua Kingdom 2nd infantry regiment."

"Dahud, the evacuees escaping to the colosseum and racecourse. Racecourse thin."

"Understood. Take weapons and head."

About 20 soldiers exit the barracks and head to the armory. Equip sword and shield, armor and immediately gather.

However no vigor on that face.

What?

"Alright, then we from now head to the racecourse, and perform protection of the evacuees. On the way also believers thought no carelessness."

Dahud flies the encouragement but reaction dull.

"How. Fulfill the role as Leonua Kingdom's infantry regiment."

"With words, Dahud. This act deviated from our mission."

"What saying. Baden-Baden also part of Leonua Kingdom. Saving that people natural."

"King's order?"

"What."

"Not king's order right."

What, these guys. Specially came to help, but if such ones no need.

"Omolocchi. This exchange seem continue. We go ahead."

"What. Oi. Che. Not move at such time, what for stationed in Baden-Baden, completely."

Left the place and we who start running, Omolocchi also followed. Looking at that thought the soldiers also decide resolve, but still dawdling discussing. Root there and plant.
