Imperial Capital of the Hoelscher Empire. In the corner of the restaurant on the first floor of the Inn, cold air flowed slightly.

Sitting down at the table where the cold air was being generated, was of course Hajimes group. After Hajime and Yue returned from gathering information, the females glared cold gazes at Hajime.

Especially, Shia and Kaoris eyes which were lacking all light, honestly, it was enough to make Hajime feel terror. Just behind Kaori, a Hannya*you know, that demon with the mask and long hair* started becoming visible.

[You seem to have had a great time?]

[Yue, is very glossy? What were you doing? Nee? What did you do? Nee, Nee]

There were no intonations in the voices from the two, the people from the next table couldnt endure any longer and also quickly left. Judging from the appearance of the two people, It wasnt possible to intervene at all, the waitress could only give Hajime a troubled look from afar.

The reason why this happened, was naturally, due to Yue being strangely glossy after returning, also because Hajime looked slightly haggard as well.

In other words, although they went out to gather information, what else could the 2 have done other than that! Their anger was building up

[Youve misunderstood. Yue is glossy because she sucked my blood?]

[ [ N? ] ]

both of them were misunderstanding Hajimes situation and were shocked when the truth was told. Due to unexpected answer, both of their faces became identically goofy looking.

[Did you guys really think Id place my hands on Yue? Am I a dog in heat. Is that what you guys think? Eh?]

[Ah, ahahahahaha, of course not~, I knew it right away. I thought that would be the case. Ne, Nee, Kaori-san]

[Ye, yes! Of course, Shia. The amount of mana consumption from using Reproduction magic is harsh. I thought it was that from the beginning]

Hajime only had a sarcastic look in his eyes, Shia and Kaoris eyes swam around all over the place while trying to defend themselves.

Hajime, suddenly turns his sights to Shizukus group. They immediately looked the other way while beginning to blush. It appears that they also misunderstood completely.

[Ha~a, oh well. Anyways, we got the information that we needed. Tonight, well sneak into the palace where Cam and the others are most likely being held. Though security seems to be quite severe, as long as Cams group is found, we can quickly escape using space magic, so it shouldnt be that difficult. Only Yue, Shia, and I will be infiltrating. Just in case, since you guys cant use sign perception and teleport. You guys should meet up with Pals group outside of the capital. Because well transfer directly there]

[.We understandin the first place, is the information is correct? Isnt it possible that this Nedeiru guy lied]

[Thats probably not possible. After having his crotch flattened, then regenerating it before he loses consciousness, moreover it was actually crushed.a mans treasure, many times, repeatedly. Its just not possible for a man to endure it..after we got him to spill out the information, Nedeiru was already shedding tears of relief while holding his hands over his crotch, even I could feel his pain]

Your the one that did it! is what Kouki and them really wanted to Tsukkomi, though they stopped and sighed instead because Hajime was unnaturally showing a sad expression. Shizukus thoughts, after having felt chills, its a relief that Kaori didnt go.

At the same time, Yue who grounded up and crushed the mans crotch many times, thought nothing of it at all, it wouldnt be odd for them to both be referred to as the ball smashers throughout the Empire, Kouki and Ryutaro while shivering, swore to never defy Yue. Their inner thighs became somewhat uncomfortable under the table.

[Na~a, Nagumoright now, if Shias family is in the Imperial castle, shouldnt you just ask for them back? Riri should be there too, Im a hero as well..I think we should manage if we just talk it out..]

Kouki said, completely late with all the efforts that have already been put in.

Certainly, its as Kouki said, with Koukis words as a hero, an appointment for Riria-na could be set up in order to ask for help. Rather than relying just on Hajimes raw power, negotiations was also a choice.

However,

[And what do they get out of it?]

[Eh?]

[Cams group are invaders, what if theyve already killed Empire soldiers? Moreover, although they completely surrounded the Usagininzoku, Cams group became a completely different existence to them because they dealt damage to the Empire. Do you really think that theyd just hand them over for free?]

[That..]

[Theyll definitely want some sort of compensation. Theyll definitely take complete advantage over it, theres too much risks. Also consider how they intend to save face as well. Even if they get freed it wont be over for them. Or, it will likely affect the princess who has to deal with the negotiations. Are you still fine with that?]

The possibility certainly exists, Kouki just kept quiet. Perhaps, he also wanted somehow help with the situation. There was that thing with the Demi-human slave a while back too, he couldnt ignore it and now continued to think about something.

~Hijiyo~ Hajime started to feel a bad premonition, he looked at Shizuku for an instant. And Shizuku said [Ah, this, this is bad] she noticed Koukis expression. Apparently there are signs are recklessness appearing from Kouki.

Hajimes thoughts, though i never thought it would happen, when we invaded the Imperial capital, Kouki suddenly required Huge Care for his actions, I need to take the first move.

[Naa, Amanogawa. I have a request for you..]

[Tsu!!!? wh.what? a request from Nagumo? ..Impossible..]

Kouki stiffens up and becomes flabbergasted from the word, request, that Hajime suddenly said. Ryutaro and Suzu also did the same thing. Its as if they had discovered a UMA*Alien* in town by chance. A request from Hajime, judging from how he usually is, that word should have been impossible.

However, Hajime had expected that kind of reaction, though he was a little irritated, he didnt voice it out.

[Ah~, never mind, its fine after all. I cant ask you to do such a dangerous thing. Sorry, forget about it]

[wa, wait, wait a second! First tell me what you want me to do..]

He started to feel bad due to the atmosphere when Hajime was so quick to give up, Kouki easily took the bait.

[Nothing much, although ill be invading the Imperial castle, security is too tight. Thats why I want you to be a decoy to raise the success rate even by a little bit. .For example, a person that is willing to rage and attract the Empire soldiers for the sake of helping the Demi-humans, like the inumimi boy from a while ago. something along those lines. Ah, however, its too dangerous. Please forget about it]

Of course, theres no reason why Hajime wouldnt be able to invade the castle even if security was strict. Although, a decoy would be helpful, its not particularly necessary. simply, there was no other way but this. It would be bad if he went and did something reckless by himself, so i decided to give him a task to do. At the very least, itll actually help! So that he doesnt try to say that hes coming along to the Imperial castle..

[Decoy.those children..do it. Ill do it! Nagumo! Please let me be the decoy!]

[O, oh, really, I understand, indeed, you are a hero..alright. To such a wonderful hero, Ill give you this]

After saying so, Hajime pulls out some ores from his Treasure Warehouse and transmuted them into four masks.

The masks are divided by color, red, blue, yellow, and pink, its a full-faced helmet which makes you think about the heros of a certain crew. It was an ingenious design that didnt obstruct breathing or sight. An average Synergist wouldnt be able to create it at all. It was a useless skill that had been refined in vain without waste.

[..Nagumo..thats?]

[As you can see, a mask]

[.Why?]

[Why you say, is it alright to have a hero raging around in the Imperial capital? Your identity would be known. Therefore, the masks purpose is to hide your identity. In every country, the heros identity must never be known. It begins with a masked hero, and it ends with a masked hero. I even color coated it so that you guys could tell each other apart]

[Eh? No, suddenly, with that kind of reasoning..well, As for our true identities, we should definitely conceal it. Well probably trouble Riri if found out.but, this]

Kouki looks at the masks with a cramped cheek.

[..Dont worry about it hero(laughs). To you, the tidy leader, Ill give you Red]

[Naa, just now, did you attach something at the end of hero?]

[Sakagami*Ryutaro*, youre blue. Blue shows a calm disposition. Though I hesitated to create a black and make you it instead, my judgement for you(Muscle for Brains) was that blue would be best. I think it was a good decision if I do say so myself]

[O, oh? Though I dont really understand, youre giving it to me]

[And Taniguchi*Suzu*, you..]

[P, pink right? right? Im a little embarrassed]

[Youre yellow. Eh? did you hear? Youre yellow. Youre easily happy, so your Yellow. In various meanings, youre Yellow]

[..Nee, Nagumo-kun, by any chance do you hate Suzu*she refers to herself this way if you guys havent caught on yet*? That kind of thing?]

[And the last one is..Yaegashi*Shizuku*]

[Please wait, Nagumo-kun. Though theres only one remaining.but it cant be right?]

[Yaegashi, of course, the remaining pink, its yours]

[I dont want it! In the first place, Isnt there other ways to hide a persons identity rather than wearing masks? It should be fine if I just cover up myself with a cloth! Nagumo-kun, you, truthfully youre only doing it for fun right!]

To Shizukus protest, Hajime feeling relieved, shrugs his shoulders. Shizukus cheeks have cramped up and are twitching because his attitude was unreasonable like a childs.

[Alright? Surely you can hide your identity! But. The mask fits on comfortably, it wont fall off easily, and its shock absorbent. In addition, its so light you wont even notice its on, and its endurance is so high that average attacks wouldnt even scratch it]

[All, all those things in a single momentwhat uselessly high skills]

[And Yaegashi, youre the cool beauty type and usually well defined, but in truth, you actually like cute things, its a classic. Therefore, I purposely and thoughtfully made you pink even if you said no. Show some gratitude]

[J, Just what are you assuming.wa, cute things, I, I dont particularly..]

[Ah, youre right, Hajime-kun! Shizukus room is filled with stuffed animals]

While Shizuku was desperately trying to deny Hajimes assumption, a betrayal emerged. Kaori exposed Shizukus hobbies. On Shizukus head, !?, mark appeared.

[..Thinking about it, she always loved animals back in the days. Especially, rabbits and cats.]

[ ! ]

[Ah, the standby photo on Shizukus phone was also a bunny rabbit ne~]

[ ! ]

[Whenever we pass by the arcade, she always makes sure to play the UFO catcher game. Moreover, its usually delicious*is this line supposed to be about her face while playing the game or something?*.]

[ ! ]

[I see, and Shizuku-san would always stare and look at my Usamimi*Rabbit ears*.]

[ ! ! ! ]

[..Yaegashi. Sa~a, take it. Pink.is yours]

Hajime was quietly holding out the pink mask with gentle eyes. For some reason, all other members also, watched her with a gentle expression. Before anyone was aware, the choice to not wear a mask, disappeared.

[..Whats up with this, this airthough you guys say that, I, though I dont really like pink, but? Ill reluctantly take it, but dont misunderstand about this alright? Also, is there any person out there that doesnt like small animals? Thats why, this time only, theres no other reason.so, stop looking at me with those gentle looking eyes!]

Even as her ears were reddening, Shizuku honestly received the mask.

While trying to deny it desperately and embarrassingly, Shia quietly said, [If its Shizuku-san, do you want to touch my Usamimi a little?] an empty effort that destroyed the dere aspect of friendship.

By the way, After Hajime finished pushing the 4 to their positions, he was snarling.

The plan was, if 4 people wearing masks suddenly appear and make a huge commotion in town, their names would exceed the 2 names that the Hauria game to him.

In reality, during the time where he was talking with Pals group, it seems that he held a grudge against them for laughing at the names he was called by. Moreover, because their color coated, they wont be called by their names directly, itll be enough agony to make them want to conceal themselves up in a mountain..

While thinking about how to stop Koukis recklessness, the intentions to scheme his revenge also appeared, Yue had a look that was slightly amazed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Midnight.

There were innumerable rooms fitted with grates and not one light in the darkness existed. The grates were made from special metals, it formed a solid barrier and there were carved magic formations on the ground, as if declaring in silence that theyll never let the people in the small rooms escape.

There was a nasty smell generated from the filth and blood, it was extremely dirty, even if they couldnt see properly they could tell.

What is this terrible place, Of course, it was the prison which was purposed to restraining prisoners, it was also considered as the dungeon in the castle of the Hoelscher Empire.

As expected, a jail worthy of the Imperial castle, the quality of the metal ore that was used to create the dungeon was certainly excellent, the magic formations carved on the ground in order to not let any prisoners escape was also excellent.

Any person that attempts to break out, or anyone sneaking in will definitely die, there were also traps engraved onto the walls that seemed to be extremely painful when tripped, but, as long as the aria that releases the trap is not recited properly itll be fine, though in the first place, arbitrary actions might have been predicted and sealed off already.

With that, there is no possibility of being able to break into the prison, while being tormented by the putrid smell without even one light, if someone is placed in a cell, an ordinary man would go insane in just a day. Guards are situated in front of the only door leading down from the outside, their replacement schedules are much longer during the night time.

However, despite being one of the worst places, now, for some reason there were many voices heard.

[Oi, how many did you break today?]

[All his fingers, and 2 ribs.You?]

[Hehe, its my win. All his fingers and 3 ribs I believe?]

[Ha, only to that extent? I broke 7 ribs and his cheekbones..and also one of his Usamimis]

[Are you serious? Just what did you do? Though they dont really care how we beat them, they specifically said not to put our hands on their Usamimis.]

[Na~Ni*What*, its just the usual, whos the person that youre working for? because, he never answered my question properly. ..Then he said. Its your mother. Im your new father, so I came to check up on my son.]

[Uwaa~, I guess, anyone would lose their temper over that.]

[But, those fellows, their Usamimis arent dropping down at all, maybe theyve received orders? it might be something like disobeying us**Improvised this line, couldnt get its true meaning*..]

[Ah~, theyll definitely be disposed of. Kekeke, I cant get enough of this stuff~!]

When I heard them, they were boasting of who inflicted the most damage. Though they didnt die because the minimum amount of recovery magic was used, to have the courage to talk about it in the middle of the room, the owners of the voices state that their prisoners are all covered in wounds.

Still holding it in and enduring it, the identities of those being joked about was, the Hauria that were caught by the Empire.

They, competing who dealt the most injuries, werent particularly out of order. As theyve already prepared themselves for it.

Since being placed into the dungeon in the castle, they already expect not to live anymore. Were they to be executed, or turned into slaves..It seems to have been the latter case, because theyll likely try to commit suicide when an opening shows, as expected, they have no will to live. As they would only be forced to fight against their own family, it would only be a nightmare, so theyve resolved themselves beforehand.

And, they dont have any power because, they intend to go out with a bang.

The Empire, because the Haurias abilities are too far apart from common sense, theyre suspecting that someone is plotting something behind them.

Moreover, even if that wasnt true, his Majesty the Emperor likes the Hauria tribe, he seems to want to use them as pawns for his empire army. Battle operations, able to use weapons, and fighting spirit, a method of changing the gentle Hauria, the Hauria tribe was like a treasure box for his Majesty which liked strong people.

The Hauria who suspects as much, until their lives were finally extinguished, will continue to defy the empire. Because their resolutions were already made, it was foolish to waste time torturing them.

By the way, being put in this dungeon covered with wounds, theyre still tortured in the name of questioning in their cells, The hauria tribe still showed a confident smile, most of the empire soldiers that saw their confidence showed fear in their eyes.

[This time, the chief was quite grand as well..]

[Thats right. Naa, while we have the chance, want to have a competition with the chief to see who can handle the most injuries?]

[Oh? Sounds good. Then, my Usamimis would be complete]

[No, you, itll be a great loss right?]

[No, the chief is starting to sound more and more like boss. especially when training recruits..]

[Ah, just as if the boss was possessed huh. When being verbally abused like that..its impossible..]

[Ma~a, if the boss was caught in the first place, normally hell try to destroy everything from the inside even when caught!]

[Rather, dont you get the feeling that the Imperial capital is crying? surely, disappearing from the map.]

[Boss is relentless afterall!]

[Because hes an ogre!]

[No, hes the Devil!]

[Then, looks like hes the Demon Lord]

[Oi, oi, doesnt that make him sound like the lord of Majinzokus. Compared with the boss, the Demon Lord is an insect that cant even compare. An insect]

[Thenthe most devilish inspired malevolent god?]

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ Thats it! ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

[You guys are fairly energetic? This Beep guyIts been a long time but it seems you guys have gotten much more talkative? Eh~?]

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ .. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The voice that was filled with anger that affected the Hauria sounded out from the dark.

It was a very familiar voice, the Hauria fell silent and froze. Inside the darkness, their breaths became shallow as if they were small animals waiting for a carnivore to pass by.

[Oi, Kora. Why are you guys falling silent for. Im the Ogre, demon, Satan, malevolent god? right?]

[Hahaha, hey, guys. I, it seems like Ive finally made it to that point. Ive begun hearing hallucinations at last]

[Feel relieved, youre not the only one. ..Im the same]

[Is that soyou guys toobut that last voice sounded like bosses angry voice]

[At least allow us to hear the voice of a cute woman before our end]

The voice from the other party that wasnt there should have been properly heard, but the Hauria treats it as a hallucination in order to escape reality.

To such people, Hajime the owner of the voice, pointed out the reality. Yue that was nearby pulls out a sphere of light, the darkness in the dungeon was completely wiped out. And, the appearance of Hajime was clearly seen inside the Imperial castle.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [Gee, boss!!?] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

[Quiet down you idiots]

[You look energetic?]

[Looks and feels like it, though were in pretty bad shapeour worries have faded away though.]

Everyone of the Hauria tribe, while suffering from a extremely cruel injuries, being kept in a dirty prison, though theyre not in the state to stand up, their wild voices raised as if meeting their own clones.

Hajime, Yue, and Shia, the Hauria were amazed.

[Wh, why, is the boss at such a place..]

[Save the talk for later. First of all, weve come to rescue you guys. Jeez, although you guys are in tatters up youre quite spirited. Just how tough are you guys]

[Wa, wawa, obviously, its because we were trained by boss]

[Compared to our training with boss, being tortured by the empire soldiers is practically like playing a game]

[Its like their thirst for blood wasnt enough? It was too lukewarm, they were even considerate enough to nurse us]

[Ma~a, bosses thirst for blood, is on the level of where in just one moment there is an illusion of being killed in hundreds of different ways, theres no helping it]

While coughing ~Gefug Gefuu~ and blood, towards the words that the Hauria were joking around with, an indescribable gaze came from Yue and Hajime, looking at Shia.

When that happened she coughed ~Gohon~ to try and deceive Hajime, the traps in the dungeon were confirmed by the Magic Eye, it was then conveyed to Yue and Shia. And, dismantling the traps quickly began.

The magic trap formations, usually, without the correct aria(Key) it cannot be released. But it was being neutralized through the process of dispersing the magic put into the magic formation by operating it through aria.

Though there is the method of directly destroying the formations as well, however usually, the moment its broken, itll activate, because there are functions which alarm the other formations that one has been broken, so releasing them all by aria is actually the only way.

However, this method only works for the person that placed the magical powers into the aria. conversely, if the person can directly manipulate magic, its possible to dismantle them without allowing them to set off other traps even without a key.

Hajimes group completely neutralized the Imperial castles dungeon which the Empire is so proud of, the Cells are opened one after another through transmuting from Hajime, all members of the Hauria were also completely recovered through Yues Reproduction magic.

[Ha~a, as ridiculous as always huh. For the time being, boss]

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [Thanks for coming to save us!] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

[O. Ma~a, it was for Shia. She was worried. Moreover, I dont see Cams appearance. ..Do you know where he is?]

[About that..]

One of the Hauria began to speak, apparently Cam is currently being interrogated, the position of the interrogation room was also told.

They, by all means, also wanted to rescue their Chief! Though they appealed for it, they werent allowed to help out, because they also understood that leaving it to Hajime and them who already invaded this place would be best, believing in Hajimes words they entrusted it to them.

In the first place, their bodies began shaking intensely because of Hajimes Order..

Hajime, a metallic plate about the size of his palm was taken out from the Treasure Warehouse. It had a lustrous gray shine, theres a magic formation carved on the handle and the tip was jagged, it was basically shaped like a key.

In front of the confused Hauria, Hajime pours magic into the key type plate, then he pushed it out slowly into the space in front.

Then, the tip of the key type plate pierced through the space in front, a ripple formed and expanded vertically. The ripple gradually grows until it became the size of an adult human being, then Hajime literally twisted the key type plate with a ~guri~ just like a normal key.

Immediately after that, a hole extends around the Key type plate, when it fully extended out to a size of an adult human being the Hauria were popeyed, the rock zoned area could be seen on the other side.

[Alright, all of you pass through this. On the other side is the rock zone thats a little bit to the left of the Imperial capital. Pal and the rest are on standby there]

[Yes Sir! Boss, please take care of the chief]

Though the Hauria were dumbfounded at the lack of common sense that occurred, it was the Ha in Hajime! When they regained their consciousness, it was obviously due to the boss! as soon as they finally understood, they saluted wonderfully. And, they passed through the gate created by the artifact without hesitation, the fellows with Usamimis were trained well.

What Hajime took out was, an artifact that produces a gate for super-long distance space transfer.

It was a pair key type artifact, Gate Key, and the keyhole artifact, Gate Hall, when thrusting out the gate key into space this process was Opening the Lock, the gate then connects the space to the place in the gate hall that is set up before hand in order to be transferred to it. Of course, it was created with a combination of space magic and creation magic.

When the Hauria were transferred, the gate is used again to Lock the hole in space shut, Hajime and the rest then headed for the place that Cam was being kept.

The severe security was broken through by skills and magic, they quickly reached the location.

The person at watch outside was quickly knocked out silently and they arrived in front of the door, an angry voice could be heard from the inside.

Shias expression freezes. She had prepared herself because an injured Cam would likely be on the other side, the feelings of worrying about a tattered family member began to well up.

Its seen, so Hajime put his hand on the doorknob and was about to open it at once, but he stopped instinctively because of the angry voice that came from the other side.

[What, make a firmer fist first! Are you even a soldier of the Empire! Use your hip more, you Beep that is only useful to Beep! Youre just like a Beep thats been Beep! A new born kittens fists is better than yours! What happened! Are you mortified, at least break a bone! If you cant, youre just Beep after all!]

[Sh, shut up! Why do i have to listen to anything you say!]

[Get those hands moving if you have time to move that mouth of yours! Is your hand Beep is it your lover, huh? Ah, in the end your lover must also be a Beep too huh? You Beep and Beep are well matched for each other!]

[D, damn you! Natasha is not that kind of woman!]

[St, stop Johann! You shouldnt do that! This guy will die!]

[Shit, is that fellow there a Beep as well. The empires soldiers, every single one of them are Beeps huh! Or better yet, why dont you guys just rename yourselves to Beep! You pair of Beep! Youre both about equal, how about showing some murderous intent!]

[What was that! What did this guy just say! This guy cant possibly be a Usagininzoku! Somebody answer me!]

[Ive had enough of this! When I talk with this guy, I feel like Im going to lose my mind!]

such a shout leaks out from the door and is heard.

Everyone was quiet. While looking down at his own hand that was on the doorknob, he began to doubt himself of this event that went against common sense, the empire soldiers that were supposed to be questioning Cam, were actually being cornered instead.

[Naa, is our help necessary?]

[lets return?]

[Say, sorry for now, but please help him. Because I dont think hell be able to leave by himself..]

Shia yearns for the gentle father of the past, she asked Hajime while looking far-off into the distance. Actually, we would definitely have to help Cam because he doesnt have the power to get away by himself..

[Shit, do you know how to do anything besides moving your lips. I am the dark hunting ogre from the wriggling abyss, Cam von fantasy, L F light, the rhode rear, to become the enemies of the Hauria, its still much too early!]*Yeah, this whole line was a huge mess, I dont really know what i was doing here*

From the other side, something with incredibly bad sense was said.

[Shia, your father, something amazing was just said]

[The more you think about it, the more confusing it gets]

[Uu..does my father have a grudge against me? Trying to kill his own daughter through embarrassment]

Shia was crouched down and covered both her hands over her face. The amount of damage seems to have been serious.

And, as for the condition of serious damage, the interrogators were also the same.

[Ive already told you, I dont get it! Damn, I dont want this anymore! If I have to stay with this madman any longer ill go insane! Im going home!]

[Wait, Johann! What about work! In the first place, whats with those lines, its sinister so stop it!]

The sound approaching the door could be heard ~Dota Dota~.

Hajime then thought, [As expected, it was too much for them huh~], he then formed a fist in front of the door.

And, the moment that the door is loudly opened, his fist thrusted out.

One of the interrogators called Johann, for an instant [Eh?] his face was full of surprise and astonishment, the fist of steel was buried in his face the next second and he was blown back into the room.

Hajime then, steps into the room, fortunately similarly, the other interrogator was stunned as well and in that instant he was also knocked out.

And, the two people that were knocked out instantaneously formed a bad pose with their bodies. Whoever discovers this would have a variety of misunderstandings.

[It cant be..is that you.boss?]

[Ahh, what to say, even though youre in tatters you still abused them with words. ..Youve become strong, in various amounts of ways..]

To begin with, it was in the meaning of the 2 that were just blown away a moment ago.

[Ha, hahaha. It seems like Im not dreaming.O~o, Yue and Shia as well]

For a moment, Cam seems to have thought it was a dream, he replied to Hajime with more power this time, though hes more tattered than the other Haurias were. His intellectual powers havent dropped either, he seemed to have immediately guessed that Hajime and them came to help.

[Jeez, Ive shown you guys a bad appearance even though weve finally been reunited. Moreover I was busy abusing the damn empire fellows, I didnt even notice your presences..Jeez, its shameful]

[Father, I dont think it was that kind of problem anymore. You need to quickly get to a hospital. Of course, for the treatment of your head..in the first place, with those wounds why are you so energetic]

[through willpower?]

[..Hajimes demon remodeling.how fearsome]

The constrained Cam was truly embarrassing, he scratched his head with a finger that was broken in a suitable direction towards his head *Im not actually sure if its with his broken finger or non-broken finger*. His thoughtless answer was tsukkomied by Shia.

Yue who was using Reproduction magic, stared at Hajime rather than Cam with a frightened look. Hajimes thoughts. Truly frightening, rather than Sergeant HarOman was I the pathogen of chuunibyou *Thanks Endo*

Cam jumps up and down ~Pyon Pyon~ confirming that his body had completely recovered, Hajime then took out the gate key again.

[Ive already sent off the other guys first. Lets quickly leave]

[Yes, Sir! Ah, boss, about our equipment that was taken away.]

[Ahh? Just leave it, just leave it. With my current transmuting skills I can make more and better equipment than before, so lets just do that]

[Ill be able to enjoy new equipment? With that, my tensions shot up, kukuku]

To Cam who was laughing suspiciously, Shia pushed him into the gate and entered together, Hajime and Yue also went into the gate.

After that, the mysterious masked group causing a disturbance in the Imperial capital and the Hauria tribe that was in the Imperial castle both disappeared suddenly, Its needless to say, the Hoelscher empire was in an uproar until morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extra

At night of the Imperial capital where alarm bells resounded, suddenly, light surges out, at the shack district where Demi-human slaves who are engaged in removing stones are staying and sleeping, the soldier post there was blown away. Apparently it was an attack that was held back greatly, only the building flew, the soldier inside seemed to be safe. Though the majority of them had fainted.

The shadow of 4 people could be seen with the moon shining behind them in a grand manner.

[Who are you guys! Dont think youll get away after defying the Empire!]

The person who looked like the head of the platoon said out angrily towards the shadows.

[Furthermore, furthermorewearing those funny looking masks! Are you guys fooling around or what!]

[Eh? No, were not exactly fooling around..]

[No matter how you look at it its foolishness! Especially, the pink colored one!]

[ !? ]

[Do you feel that youre showing off your cuteness or something!? I only feel sick when I see that mask! You damn sex offenders!]

[ !? .I didnt have the intention to show off my cuteness. .And its not like I like that kind of stuff in the first place.I was forcefully..Its not my fault]

[Wait a second, dont mind what the uncle with the ugly face says Shizudont make fun of Pink! Suzu..Yellow will really get mad!]

[Thats right! Shizuits alright to like pink and cute things! Thats enough, if you hurt Pink anymore, IKamen*Mask* Red wont forgive you!]

[A~, for the time being, Kamen Blue also wont forgive you~]

As Kamen Pinks shoulder dejectedly drops, all the other Kamen shout back at the empire soldiers.

The masked groups goal was, to cause an uproar in the Imperial capital, in order to help Hajimes group to invade the castle easier.Hajime who accurately saw through Shizukus facade, in order to stop Kouki from doing reckless things it was unavoidable unless another task was given to him, definitely when they return, she swore in her heart that she would get revenge on him.

While Kamen Pink was being depressed, the heated up empire soldiers suddenly, [Immediately catch those annoying masked guys!] and attacked. However, although they arent equal to Hajime and his groups power, even still, they were summoned from another world, in other words, cheaters. The ordinary soldiers wouldnt stand a chance, one after another they were kicked about.

[Damn it all! Those damn masked guys are all too strong!]

[Damn you, Pink~]

[More like, that sword that Red is holding, I get the feeling that Ive seen it before.]

The angry groan while laying on the ground was cursed out from the empire soldier. About 3 platoons were already unable to battle. The commander couldnt endure any longer and shouts out.

[Damn, you fellas, just exactly what is your purpose!]

to the question, Kamen Red stopped and declared loudly.

[I demand that all Demi-humans conditions are improved immediately!]

[Ha~a?]

[Your speech and behaviors towards Demi-humans are too intolerable! Stop indiscriminately hurting them!]

Towards the impossible request given to the Empire soldiers, [Whats that guy saying?], and they looked at each others expressions. That sounds about right. What Kamen Red and the others saw happening during the daytime, was common sense. Even if they were to suddenly be told to do that, they simply dont understand.

[Ku, what, the attitude..its just how things are done..]

[This.Red. The insane ones, its unfortunate but its probably us. Dont forget about our other purpose as well]

[I know! But, at the very least just the children.]

[Do you know how many people that is. Do you plan on helping every child that you see? also, it should be almost time. .Even Im feeling mortified about this, but, now, lets properly focus on our objective]

[..Yeah, your right]

Masked Red, withdrew reluctantly in understanding.

[Empire soldiers, Listen here. Our behavior is due to an arbitrary decision. So, the slaves had nothing to do with it so dont put the blame on them. If, you guys do something like that.]

[Wh, what is it you want to say..]

[Tonight, behind you when youre taking a shower, when youve woken up and look at of your stomach, in an alley where there shouldnt be anyone else, under the desk, the gaps through the curtains, the edge of the mirror, in your dreams..youll always see a mask]

The empire soldiers towards the words that Kamen Pink indifferently said without intonations, all swallowed their saliva at once, and thought, [Scary.]. It was certainly a Horror film.

The masked group, after completing their goal said, [To~u!], that kind of feeling and jumped down from the building and into the back alley. And then, the Empire soldiers rushed after them in a panic, but they completely disappeared like phantoms.

Later, among the soldiers of the Empire, [Fear Kamen Pink~that fellow is always looking at you], an urban legend was spread, but that is another story.

Why, because when youre alone.., the person in the Pink mask breaking down is also another story.

Extra 2

[That is all I have to report!]

[Good work, you may leave]

[Ha]

After the resounding footsteps of the subordinate that left disappeared for a while, Hoelscher Empires Emperor, Gaharudo D. Hoelscher, turned his sights onto the girl who had been talking a while ago.

It was Riria-na S.B. Hairihi, princess of Hairihi Kingdom with a cleansed face, when she noticed Gaharudos glance, [It seems to be quite serious?], in a worried voice, a troubled smile was returned. As a princess of the neighboring country, anxiety could be felt due to the report heard just a while ago, however she knew not to interfere because she would only get in the way, such an expression was shown.

[Jeez, Im troubled. Just after dealing with a ridiculously strong demon some ridiculously strong masked people show up, the strength of those 4 were certainly not a joke..about this matter, what do you think about it? Princess Riria-na]

[..I, dont understand? Still, maybe it was the Majinzoku behind the scenes again? Because an impossible demon was used before, there may also be impossibly talented people as well?]

[yeah, thats right. Theres a possibility of that. For example, one of those guys were able to freely manipulate high level magic with ease, there was even one with a sword that gave off a dazzling light, na?]

[yes, thats right. Its a fearsome thing]

[Ah~, definitely. After being asked what their purpose was they started blabbering about improving the treatment of Demi-humans and their labor conditions, Its very frightening when its too incomprehensible, is what I think]

[thats, right]

Riria-nas expression doesnt collapse.

Gaharudo was amusingly observing Riria-na, it was an impregnable smile guard. Thats because, rather than a smile pasted on, it was an indispensable royal family secret skill, able to change their smiles depending on the current situation without fail.

However, Gaharudo did not not miss the slight moment where her breath was disturbed.

[By the way, Princess Riria-na]

[Yes?]

[Right now, where is Hero-kun?]

[..The hero, presently, hes out traveling. In order to earn experience and power]

[Gee, and here I thought he surely came to the Imperial capital? And, I remember hearing about the emancipation of slaves from someone before as well]

[Oh dear, Emperor Gaharudo about what youve just said, have you confused speculation as truth? Theres no way that would have happened right?]

[Hahaha, of course! Speculation without proper grounds cannot be considered a fact]

[Fufufu, yes, thats right]

After a while, [Hahaha], [Fufufu], the laughter of the Emperor and Princess resounded throughout the reception room.

Seemingly, though it looked like Riria-na had confidence, in her heart.

(What are you guys doing! Kouki and co.!! I mean, why masks!? There should have been many other ways to hide your identities! To begin with, using your sacred sword will obviously reveal your true identity! What a bad prank! Absolutely, it was definitely someones prank! And, the only one who would do this is definitely Nagumo-san desu! Why, because of his prank, I the Princess have to deal with this stifling conversation with the Emperor! He always treats me casually too, but unexpectedly the things he does causes a lot of damage. Even though Im the princess)

is, what she screamed inside. Apparently, Hajimes masks were made in vain, their true identities were found out by both countries.
