Bonus Story - World Rudel/SAGA (Spin-off 2)

The Altfode Kingdom Academy was the location.

Students were happily wandering the grounds, the reason being that it was the last day of classes before spring break.

A group of girls were chatting at an outdoor table while drinking tea.

One of them, with short brown hair tied in a small ponytail and sapphire green eyes was feeling strange.

"Is something wrong, Fiona?"

The girl, Fiona, was a commoner. Normally commoners entered the academy through a scholarship system, either by achievement as an adventurer or having magical power.

Fiona entered through the second half.

"S-sorry, it just looks so unreal."

The girl to her right. With long hair and red eyes, her sleeves were rolled up and two buttons on her blouse were open revealing a bit of her cleavage.

The girl was the daughter of an earl, Chloe van Arses, the daughter of a noble of the kingdom just like the other two girls.

"Why? We're just having a good time, aren't we?"

"Chloe, you make us all look like idiots just like you."

"Hah? What the hell are you talking about bitch in green."

Chloe was yelling at a girl in front of her. Her eyes and long hair were green. She had various accessories on her wristbands, painted nails, piercings in her ears and wore her school jacket around her waist.

She was the daughter of a margrave. Fay van Nightray. And she looked very annoyed by what her friend said to her.

"You want to talk about sluts? Who's the slut that goes around showing her breasts and ass so much to teachers and students!"

"I don't show anything to anyone!"

"What the hell are then those two things staring at me huh!"

"Damn seaweed, I'll destroy you!"

"Trying to rotten tomato."

"... You two, stop it already. You're looking like idiots in front of Fiona."

The two girls who were fighting immediately apologized to the girl who pointed out their mistake and then to Fiona.

They all stared at the only person among them who was drinking tea in an elegant and refined manner.

Her ash blonde hair was tied in two pigtails, her navy blue eyes still shining clearly with the shadow caused by a nearby tree.

She, of all the girls present was the most important of all, not only of the girls, but of the entire academy and even of the kingdom itself. For she was the crown princess of the kingdom. Lynette von Altfode.

"Fiona. I don't understand your discomfort. If there are any problems you have, feel free to let us know, we are friends after all."

Both Fiona and the others blushed at hearing that they were considered friends with Princess Lynette.

Fiona was a bit embarrassed and when she mentioned the reason for her discomfort.

"It's about Viscount Bradford."

Lynette who was taking a fancy sip from her cup of tea spat it out making a strange blllle sound, as they watched the spat tea soak a tree.

Lynette began to tremble, it was not a tremor of panic or fear. Rather, one of the kind of having heard something unpleasant that ruined her big day.

"M-M-May I know why you're naming that guy?"

Not only for them, for both the academy and the palace the same applied. Everyone knew that mentioning that name in front of her caused her discomfort.

Lynette still had traces of spit tea in her mouth and was trying to pour herself some more from a teapot which was shaking.

Fiona seeing her reassured her

"P-Princess is wrong, it's nothing bad! In fact, I was just wondering about him, is that... hasn't a whole morning already gone by without him harassing us?"

The women at the academy knew Rudel was a trouble-seeking jerk, but more than anything else he was a pest to the girls.

Numerous instances of complaints about underwear, someone peeping in the women's bathroom, and a strange wind that lifts skirts only when he's around had been reported.

Fay replied to Fiona.

"It's true, I saw him quite excited yesterday. So I thought he would plot something heinous against us today."

"A lot of girls are alert about any strange movements."

Chloe added to the conversation.

Lynette finally calmed down and spoke in her formal, polite tone.

"It doesn't matter if that individual doesn't show up not just today. Rather, may he never show up again in life, ohohoho."

Lynette laughed in a strange way.

"Princess."

It was Fiona who asked again.

"Have you packed your bags for tomorrow?"

Lynette answered her as her hand lightly pulled back one of her pigtails.

"It's all packed. It really is amazing that the academy is giving us a school trip."

"Is that weird?"

"Normally the trips are only to areas like a safe county. Well, I think this is because the number of pirates has dropped drastically in the last few months."

"Because of Viscount Bradford, is that true?"

"... Indeed, it's because of that guy."

"I wonder where we're going?"

"Eh, Fiona don't you know?"

Fiona shook her head from side to side in denial.

"I was too busy on my exams to make a big deal out of it."

Lynette grabbed a cookie and before popping it in her mouth said.

"We're going to the ancient region of Kanie. It's an eastern island that belonged to a country called Musashi."

Lynette took the cookie to her mouth and her cheeks blushed from the taste.

◇◇◇

"That boy really is a pain in the ass."

"Hehehe, you seem to have stressed yourself out a lot, don't you?"

Two boys were walking down a long hallway.

One of them had a suitcase and the other had a bag.

Both were belongings of the same owner.

The boy on the left had short blond hair and blue eyes. He was of commoner origin and his name was Iryel, but his friends called him Airy.

On the other hand, the one on his right was a boy with long blond hair tied in a ponytail. His eyes were red and his gaze strong. He was the second son of a duke, Alistar von Bismarck was his name, but like his friend he was also called by a short name, Alis after his late mother they called him.

The two boys were best friends with a certain idiot, who was not present.

"Don't try to defend him this time. That idiot Rudel rushes out and leaves his belongings here. As if we were his servants we have to carry them in addition to our own."

"It can't be helped, he said it was important."

"I understand that it is, but still there is an order for when messy that boy can be."

"You worry too much like you're his girlfriend Alis, hahaha."

"And you defend him like you're one, Airy."

"Hey, if I was a girl there's no way I'd fall for him."

"I don't think any girl would willingly want to be with him."

The two friends laughed at their friend like normal kids.

A person came up behind them and stopped them.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something."

Turning around, they noticed a tall boy with red hair and brown eyes calling out to them.

"Yes... this one?" Alis said.

"Yes. I'm Marty Calze, an exchange student from Lepand Duchy."

"Oh, you're one of the exchange students. What can I do for you?"

"I was at the door of Viscount Bradford's room, but no one answered. What's more, no one saw it."

Airy and Alis made a face of discomfort at hearing that someone was looking for their friend.

"I'm sorry, you see... it's just that he's busy."

"May I know where he is?"

"He's..."

◇◇◇

In the boys' dormitory there were fancy rooms for high-status students, that included foreign students.

One of them was eating a luxurious breakfast in his room. He did not go out to the dining room as he was a young man of a status equal to a duke.

The young man was tall, slim, his hair and eyes were brown, his gaze was sharp.

His name was Libert Toara Ragdoll.

He came to study in this country because he wanted to get in touch with important people, that was because his land belonged to the alliance of low countries, better known as United Kingdoms or just United Kingdom.

These countries were small and by themselves it is impossible for them to stand on their own so they decided to join others through an alliance.

The Altfode Kingdom also belongs to that alliance because the queen belongs to a kingdom that is currently trying to become the representative of the United Kingdom.

Libert wanted to have contacts with the future great chiefs of those, but could not since.

"I was not allowed to visit the royal palace or go to public parties they had, but when I come to school, it's different."

Because of Libert's overbearing personality, he was not allowed to meet with any sons at the royal palace.

Libert thought his plan to make allies failed until one day, something amazing happened. A student defeated not only several internal enemies of the kingdom, but also pirates, it was Rudel.

Libert wanted to meet with him. But because of his etiquette and education, he could not meet in person, so he sent his subordinates to ask him to come. It was an ingenious way to take advantage of a gap in an order.

"You can't go meet with any important students, but you can send your subordinates to do so."

Libert had not done so as he was trying to meet and find out what they were like. Only Rudel was the only truly important individual.

(Bradford, if you are an important man, make no mistake. If you're wrong, I'm not as sweet as the palace or your surroundings.)

Libert was thinking of putting Rudel, now the kingdom's trump card, under his guide.

Libert smiled, thinking that he would be recognized as a hero if he brought the lost item technology back to his country. "Bradford, it's time to kneel in front of me."

The door opened, Libert had the words ready to tell Rudel to stay and listen to what he had to say.

Before he could open his mouth.

"I'm sorry."

Marty walked in apologetically.

".. Marty, didn't I tell you to bring me to Bradford? Today is the last day where no one is busy."

Marty looked terrified to say anything to his employer.

"B-Boss, it's just that he's not at the academy."

"And where is he?"

"At Danafor."

Libert's spoon dropped onto his plate.

"Danafor you say!!! What the hell is he doing there and how did he get there in one day?"

◇

The kingdom that sits on a desert island, Danafor was called.

It is the place where I, Rudel van Bradford, a normal, ordinary young man who is actually a reincarnate, found myself.

Despite saying I am normal, I don't think there is anyone with my frightening face, sinister eyes and unruly hair.

I came to this country because Bell, a green-eyed white sphere which is an artificial intelligence from an ancient civilization, informed me that some important people I was looking for were here.

They call themselves the 4 celestial kings of commerce.

If I am not mistaken, they come from a country called the Free Trade Federation, Seberg.

It's amazing that an entire country is a trader.

Danafor has a social structure like any other country; nobles, commoners and slaves.

In the kingdom there were also slaves, but only few nobles used them, the prime minister did not like slavery it seems.

In this country they have a system where the absolute ruler must fight against other guys to get only one winner.

The winner becomes king, the previous king gives up his crown and then is assassinated by the current king. We should be thankful that this is not done in the kingdom.

The streets are paved but desert dust flies everywhere.

The structures of the buildings look like yellow ice cream cones.

People dress lightly and wear a kind of towel on their heads called a turban. The women on the other hand cover their faces.

It seems to be something like knowing who were virgins and non-virgins. I would be offended if it applied to me.

After arriving in my spare ship, Zwei, as the previous one, Reginleif was damaged in a fight against some idiots and in need of repair.

I was on a couch in a hotel waiting for the important people I came to meet, they finally arrived and we got to talking.

◇

"Kakaka, a resort, huh, sounds very interesting."

One of the 4 traders who had a big belly is laughing.

His name Durland and he was an exporter of exotic fruits.

He seemed interested in my slushy idea.

"A tourist spot in a third rate country, isn't that a long shot?"

"It may sound like that, but I guarantee that the skies of the kingdom are free of pirates as I eliminated them all, I also went to their hideouts in other places outside the kingdom and destroyed them change, if you wish revenge against me only death awaits you."

"I would like to check that out for myself if you don't mind viscount."

"Of course, take as much time as you want."

The person who looked doubtful was a woman by the name of Laffan, her business consisted of buying and selling precious metals, as an extra detail. Despite the fact that I say she is a woman, she is in fact a man. I don't quite understand that, but I'd better not probe any further.

"Sounds pretty sure this place will work, doesn't it?"

"Sure. I found the island myself so it's a special place since it has a rarity to find, hot springs."

"Hoo~, hot springs, that sounds very interesting. Do you already have any counter with any construction companies?"

The one who suggested a business proposition to me was a tan skinned man named Olfery, he specialized in renting out construction units either with staff included or without. Since I have my robots they can handle that, but if a well known guy from a famous company was involved it would increase my credibility. So it's a cheap cost for my future.

Now the last of them who seems the most reluctant to accept my proposal to sell me his items. It was rare for a merchant not to sell something, but in this world a reputable merchant's item can be treated as counterfeit or even say it was a lousy item with the right sinister plan.

This man who dresses like a famous designer from my old life who was bald, moreover, was named Malkal and his company specialized in selling fabrics.

I have no sense of taste for touristy or exotic places, but hiring someone like that would be good for me.

That's why I came with these 4 kings so that my future resort would be known little by little.

"I understand that you might hesitate, but I assure you that it is a place that will give you not only excellent sales to you from me, it will also be a super famous place and that would make your image grow."

His face implied that he didn't believe me, these kind of people were the ones I liked the least since I don't know how I would deal with them.

"... I'd like to find out first how Miss Laffan will do, if you don't mind."

"Sure, take your time!"

If that's a yes, with this my future resort is getting closer and closer.

"If you will excuse us viscount, time for you is up we must go meet the king of the Ruta dynasty, His Majesty Rasheel."

"Fare you well."

I don't want to have nothing to do with someone who kills his predecessor so I'd better go home.

◇

Once I got out of there I headed to the port and boarded my airship.

It is identical to a normal ship, with its airships and beautiful white color, but in the background it is a replica of an airship appearing from space.

Its speed was fast, so in a few hours I'll reach the kingdom.

"Looks like it went well."

Was what one of my two subordinates who came to accompany me said.

"Of course it did. I feel that my future is very bright."

"I wanted to go too."

"You just wanted to go drink the local booze, didn't you filthy drunkard?"

Hearing my complaint, he stepped back.

He was a very cliché looking man, he was a ninja, or appeared to be one.

His skin was tan, he wore black clothes with steel leggings, a big long red scarf and his hair was curly black tied in a bun and his right eye was covered by his hair. His name was Zakuro, and he was an alcoholic.

"Don't say that, danna, I just wanted to make sure you're safe, hehe."

"The way you try to excuse yourself is horrible you know."

The one berating him for what he was doing was an old man of smaller stature than Zakuro's or mine.

His hair or what little he had left was combed to the side and the back of his head in a blue bun. He wore cloth clothes that looked like a bathrobe that covered his entire body and a strange belt called an obi.

"Kyojuro, give it up, this guy never changes. By the way, you two, did you hear where me and the other students are traveling to tomorrow?"

They both shook their heads side to side.

"It's good for you guys to hear this. We will be going to a former country where I believe you are originally from. Musashi was called. Isn't it good for you to go back home?"

Despite telling them a good surprise, both of them appreciate very scared, what's wrong with them?

◇

The trip certainly was long, I don't mean yesterday's trip I made to Danafor, but from the kingdom to this oriental style place.

It reminds me of a certain country in my previous life, where there were big trees that were called cherry blossoms and the smell of a strong liquor called "sake" wafted through the air.

"Oh, what a nice place this is to enjoy a good and well-deserved vacation!"

I was the first to get off and touch down. The other students were getting off the cruise ship we came on.

"Rudel, try not to embarrass us."

Said my good friend Alis who was bringing down my things since I forgot them.

Airy was coming down with a big smile on his face.

"I never thought of coming to a place like this. Since I'm a commoner, my opportunities to go out are limited."

"Even if that's the case, we could give you a ride anywhere with my ship."

"Thank you, Rudel-san."

Airy gave me a grateful smile. Sometimes I was terrified of how cute he could look despite not being a girl.

I wish things were the other way around and he was a girl, just so, it wouldn't make me feel weird about his smile.

"This is a foreign country, huh?"

That voice came from the idiot princess, she and her friends who made the quartet of the biggest breasts in the academy were coming down with enthusiasm.

"We're already booked at the hotel, but we have to wait for the teachers first so we can check in."

"I heard there's a festival today at night from some kids while playing cards."

"I'm sure the festivals here, must be very interesting, just seeing people working hard gives me that feeling."

Just as Fiona-chan was saying, there were sweaty men working hard for a festival there will be tonight.

I can't wait to have fun with the friends I got in my new life.

◇◇◇

"Ha... ha... I came back."

"How was it?"

"Not good, the Enomoto clan refused to join us."

"Dirty abstractionists!"

In a warehouse near the harbor, two mysterious figures were talking in hushed voices.

"Today was supposed to be the only day where you left your fortress. Why did they back out after saying they would help us? What about the other clans?"

"They said they didn't want to lose any more members. The Shimosa, Tsutomu and Utsuro clans have also refused."

The hooded figure hit the floor with his very loud.

"You damned cowardsssssssssssssssssss! You're traitors like Zouken!"

"I know you're upset, but we can't do this alone, Unomaru."

"... I'm sorry, Mia, but tonight is the only night where we can kill that traitor. If only the heavens would send us some help... huh?"

One of the figures suddenly noticed something through a wooden window.

"Hey, that tall guy over there, doesn't he remind you of someone?"

"Who? Eh... now that you mention it."

They watched as the Altfode Kingdom students came down.

They explicitly looked at Rudel's group.

"I don't think so, but we should follow them just in case."

"Really?"

"Yes. Let's go."

The two figures instantly left the place.

◇

Night had fallen and we all went out of the hotel to the city center to enjoy the festival.

Airy and Alis were wearing a traditional clothing called yukata, I also wanted to try one on, but I destroyed it, so I had to pay for it.

The streets look exactly like a game where they were talking about a time called Edo era. Of course, there are very advanced things like top restaurants and hotels.

It's a bizarre fantasy world no doubt.

While walking down the main street together with my friends, we came across a certain group.

"Oh, what a surprise isn't it?"

I was saying that to the girls we focused on. It seems they went to rent some yukatas.

Fiona had a blue yukata with flowers.

Chloe wore a red one with butterflies on the sleeves.

Fay had one that looks like a river painted on her yukata.

"Where's the main head?"

It was strange to me that I hadn't found the princess who must be the main person in this group of people.

"What about me, may I know viscount?"

From the background came that voice, just as I was about to answer her with a joke, I was shocked by what I saw.

Lynette was dressed in a kimono, which is a bit more expensive than a yukata. Her color was golden like her hair and she had white roses in different places. Her hairstyle was pulled back over her shoulders.

My heart started pounding for some reason at the sight of her.

"N-Nothing... I was just wondering where you were."

(What is this I feel?)

Everyone looked at me as she was clutching my chest.

"Princess you look great tonight."

"Thank you Alistar."

"Do you mind if we accompany you as your escorts? Even if this region belongs to the kingdom, we must not neglect your safety."

"It's certainly as you say, I have no problem, but..."

Lynette was looking at me.

"I don't know what you want to try to say, but I want to enjoy my week's vacation to my heart's content."

"You heard her, this fool won't bother you."

"Hmph, I want to enjoy my week off without being harassed too. Fine, let's go."

And so, we went together to enjoy the place.

◇◇◇

In another place, but at the same time.

"What memories this place brings back."

"It's as you say, Kyojuro-dono."

Zakuro and Kyojuro were in a small bar drinking.

"I grew up here, my parents were born and died here as my children."

"You had children?"

"Two wonderful children who wanted to follow the way of the sword like their father."

"I imagine he was just as serious as you."

"I was never serious, I was a young fool who only served his lord."

A man mentioned several times in game events about Musashi's history, known as the sword emperor.

He was so named since they used a historical event to draw inspiration from this region.

Long ago the regions were at war, but a man with only one sword unified them all. His name was Makiri Jura Tsubakihara, the emperor of the sword.

"A sword that serves the empire, no matter if it is one or thousands, with one sword you can change the course of things."

"That was what he said. Many followed him because of that ideal. But..."

Kyojuro's cheerful expression began to darken.

"That day, where republic ships arrived was a nightmare. They started destroying the ports and burning everything, what's worse is that I hid my family in a secret location along with other warriors who also did the same. Those bastards bombed that island just for fun, it didn't matter if there were resources, they just burned it down."

"I remember that, I was still young and I along with others went to fight, many died as we couldn't do much against their armed units."

Kyojuro drank a glass sake to the bottom.

"I wish it was good to say that we lost just because of that. But that monster called bloody knight went to fight with just his body against us."

"I remember perfectly how he sent me flying using only his fists. I lost consciousness. But after waking up, I saw how it was dawn, I thought that everything had dug since the fires stopped, I rushed to the shogun's castle, but I found it was..."

Tears began to stream down to his cheeks.

"At that despicable monster laughing as he cut off and lifted up my lord's head as if it were a trophy. I can't believe a single human being could have done so much damage and only with a weapon."

"Fortunately he died in his fight against the sword saint."

"That's the only good thing, two monsters died, so we just need to know what we do from now on. I hadn't wanted to come since I thought all this time the region was still in chaos, but it appears to be fine."

"Old Kyojuro, do you want to tell danna to let you stay?"

His hand stopped.

"It's a possibility, but it would be very ungrateful of me after rescuing me for being sunk in despair for several years. what about you?"

Zakuro raised his hands and placed them on his head.

"I had already told him that I wanted to stay here after finding a way back. He seems to be happy too, kishishi."

"Are you okay with doing that?"

His hands lowered and his expression darkened.

"What do you want me to do with my life from now on? My clan, my family and siblings died since through carelessness of vigilance they died, if not because it was too shameful to kill myself to see them in the afterlife I would have done it!"

Tears were coming down and both hands touched his face.

"For a warrior, to live in shame is worse than death. I would like to find a worthy place to die so they can forgive me."

"I'm fine with that."

Suddenly they heard two voices coming from behind them.

As they both turned around, they observed two hooded men eating a soup called ramen.

One of them stood up and the other placed the money on the table.

"Let's go outside and talk if you want to find a decent place to die."

"Who are you?"

"Just follow us."

Neither Zakuro nor Kyojuro knew what was going on, but their strong desire after hearing that word, "A place to die," made them blindly follow them.

Warriors are people who would give their lives for their beliefs and if those beliefs were trampled upon, death would be the only cure.

◇◇◇

The four of them walked out to the back of the restaurant.

The hooded men revealed their faces and Zakuro was shocked to see them.

"No way, you two are Unomaru and Mia of the Kurogiri clan no!"

Two young men, a man with black hair and eyes were smiling and beside him, a beautiful girl with big breasts, black hair and brown eyes was smiling at him.

"It's good to see you after a long time, Zakuro-dono."

"Do you know them?" the old warrior asked curiously.

"Yes. It was normal for our clan and theirs to have duels to measure our strength. I knew them when they were children. But they have indeed grown up... especially in certain parts."

Zakuro's eyes showed an obscene expression at the sight of Mia's cleavage covered by metal mesh.

Then Kyojuro slapped it back together.

"I'm sorry, but what do you mean what happened just now?"

The cheerful expression of both of them changed to a serious one.

"It would be simpler if you would accompany us to our lair."

"..."

The four of them went down a path to go to their lair.

◇◇◇

They entered a house built in a drain, the stench was overwhelming.

But they didn't care as they said it was safer to hide here.

They opened a door and there they found an acquaintance who was injured.

"It can't be... it's you, Madarao-dono head of the Kurogiri clan?"

A black clothed man in tights, red scarf, serious face, eyes and black hair which reaches up to his shoulders while the front looks like the upper jaw of a carnivore thanks to his hair combed back.

He was known as a ninja among ninjas, an allied character in the game who is never heard from again after the end of the Musashi event.

"That voice... Zakuro, right? It's been a long time, I'm sorry for you to see me in this condition."

The four entered and sat around him. Wounds were all over his body.

"What happened to you?"

"... I failed an assassination mission."

"Assassinate who?"

"... To the traitor who was partly responsible for the downfall of our country and especially the current head of the region. Raiden of the Zouken clan."

The expression of the newcomers was one of astonishment and exaltation.

"The Zouken clan you say! But that's impossible, they have served the late Lord Jura's family for generations!"

"I know how it looks, but believe me this is no lie. Years ago I found a man lying on the street who was running away, I took him in and asked him what was wrong, he answered me this..."

"Mr. Raiden got drunk and since I was in charge of serving him his drink he accidentally told me that he cooperated with the republic secretly to take over the country after his victory, but since he lost the republic he still took over the country!!!"

Everyone didn't know how to react to that.

"Didn't you think it might have been a lie?"

"I did... but the next morning I found him dead. It wasn't suicide, someone broke into my house and murdered him. The worst thing is that because I went out to inquire as to whether any of it was true, when I came back I found him on the floor."

"Something like that is..."

"They came after me too."

"It was some time later so they must have wanted to pass it off as an accident."

"After eliminating the assassins sent, I was forced to investigate and after a long time I found concrete proof that he was telling the truth. And that's how I planned his assassination... but it went wrong, many of the clan died to protect me."

Neither Zakuro nor much less Kyojuro knew what to answer.

"... What you meant by a place to die, this was it wasn't it?"

Zakuro asked Unomaru.

"That's right. Today is when Raiden leaves his hideout to go out to meet an important visitor, both of them will meet at Rashoumon castle, that was where we were to die after an arduous and fierce fight. But those chicken clans don't even want to help us."

"We are alone in this. We don't know when Raiden might be on the surface and not hiding."

"To get this information we lost many allies. Their deaths will be in vain if we don't do something."

"What will happen today?"

"Well..."

◇

We were touring the place, it was certainly beautiful the decorations and the tasty food.

My friends were catching some goldfish, the girls were with a toy rifle trying to get a prize, while I was with Lynette setting off fireworks.

It was similar to a worm, it looks like a kids game as you just hold it, light it from the bottom and watch it slowly burn away.

We were doing this as we ate too much and wanted to rest for a while.

It was there that she asked me an awkward question.

"Did Kerry really do all that?"

We were totally cheerful until you decided to ruin the mood.

"What's with the question?"

"She was my best friend since I was five, we were together all the time. Then that day came and I found out things I couldn't believe. That's why I want to hear it from your own mouth."

"Like I said that time, she just out of nowhere went crazy."

"I refuse to believe that!"

Lynette suddenly raised her voice and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I've known her all my life, there's no way anything like what you're saying was going to happen, I...I...I...I refuse to accept it!"

The fake worm in our hands went out, we were in the dark but her cry was very clear in the darkness.

"I don't accept it! To be told something like she's a vile slut or a whore! And even worse that she's a witch who plotted to destroy the country! I won't believe it, she's the only one in my whole life who has supported me and told me everything! I... I won't accept this."

Her tears showed that despite how she looked today, she cannot forgive the fact that her childhood friend has been involved in very nasty things.

"I hate all of you who speak ill of her! I wish all of you who slander her would die!"

It was there that I stopped her.

"Listen to me well idiot! I understand that you're angry, but that doesn't mean you can wish for that, you understand what you're saying! If anyone hears the princess say barbarities like that, it will be your ruin as they can treat you as a quitter, if you want to hate someone let it be me, who wronged her!"

"I can't hate you, even if I want to!"

"How, why?"

"Why... I know you're not to blame."

"I still remember the first time we met."

I remembered that day too, how to forget it.

◇

It was a beautiful day, I was walking around the garden since my tea party was a failure. I still hadn't met my friends, I was feeling depressed.

I thought my new life at the academy would be amazing to how different my school was in my old life.

After getting up because I was hungry, at the bottom of the garden I found a girl drinking tea by herself.

Apparently, she was practicing how to serve tea and start dialogues, it was very rare to see that. Even more so for not using a room, but the weather was beautiful so she must have gone out to enjoy it.

As I approached to see what he was doing...

"Uwahh!"

We were both startled as she watered the kettle.

" I-I'm sorry!"

She said that scared as she got some on her clothes.

After helping her clean it up with some napkins I apologized.

The next day I bought a box of cookies. And I handed them to her.

"I am so sorry about yesterday. I bought this as an apology."

I had no experience talking to girls, so I said the most modest thing I could say.

"Thank you."

"Okay. That's it, you'll excuse me I'm leaving now."

I tried to get out of there as I spent over a minute talking to a girl.

As I was about to leave, she stopped me.

"Excuse me, would you like to join me to eat them?"

"Uh... excuse me?"

Something like this was unreal to me.

"I said, would you like to join me for these cookies?"

"...Are you sure?"

"Sure. Usually people avoid me."

I was glad to hear that. It was the first time a girl had ever said something like that to me.

"Th-this... I'm Rudel. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Lynette. I only allow some people to call me Lyn, will you be worthy to call me that?"

Was this what they called a friendly joke?

I didn't know how to take it so I shouted. "I hope I do!".

And that's how I unintentionally became friends with Lyn for a while until that happened.

◇

"That's why I can't hate you, even though you were responsible for bringing her to her ruin."

She really was hurt, but what can she do.

"...Err, we're sorry to intrude."

I was startled to hear someone talking behind my back.

I found the others spying on us from some bushes.

"You guys, I hope you're not thinking anything weird!"

"We came in with the first screams, so we know you didn't do anything."

It was Alis who was answering me as if she expected me to do something.

"More importantly, Rudel, come here for a moment, there's something you need to hear."

I and Lynette who finished crying accompanied them.

In a corner of the shadows were Zakuro, Kyojuro and another group of strange ninja style.

Just as I was about to ask what was going on, Kyojuro beat me to it.

"Rudel-dono, we need your help, this is bad for us as bad for your country."

"What do you mean?" I said, then the wounded ninja came up to me to say.

"Today some dangerous men will make an alliance, that alliance will be harmful to you."

"What do you mean by that?" Alis asked very curious.

"We found out that a group called the Cashmiro Family came to this region."

"What!"

Alis shouted very incredulous at what he heard, but from my side.

"Those who are they?"

"Rudel, there's a limit to how ignorant you can be! Listen, those guys, the Cashmiro Family, are a very dangerous group of criminals related to the sale of weapons and drugs worldwide, they are also the main people responsible for the sale and houses of slaves."

Oh, this is very serious, if I'm not mistaken it would be equivalent to the mafia in my previous life.

"But what are they doing here and what do they want?"

The wounded ninja was talking to me.

"The head of that family and the head of this region plan to ally and thus obtain a strong union to take over this kingdom."

"Impossible!"

"I'm sorry, but it's true, this information cost many lives. But it is true, today in person they will sign their alliance, if we don't stop them, they will soon bring the other members of their group to this country to take it over from the shadows."

"I will not allow that!"

The one who shouted that was Lynette who was better off.

"Take over the country as if it were their own? Who do they think they are! It's true that my late father entrusted this land to a local, but that doesn't mean it's his land. I'm sorry, but that guy is clearly creating a small-scale insurrection which I can't allow. Contact the kingdom forces lying here!"

The big breasted ninja girl replied to Lynette.

"I'm sorry very much miss pigtails, but those forces are traitors as well."

"Excuse me!"

"Yes. They are aware and won't do anything."

"H-Hey... isn't this too bad for the kingdom?"

Fiona added an innocent comment and I answered her.

"Indeed, this is horrible, the kingdom can be taken over from small parts all the way to the capital. We must not allow it, hey, weird ninja, what's the plan?"

I asked the wounded ninja what his plan was, but his answer puzzled me.

"There isn't one."

"... What?"

"There is no plan."

"Then how will we go about defeating them!"

"We had one, but the other clans that know about it decided to keep quiet or stay in the shadows. We have no backup. Our original plan was to fight to the death."

"... Are you fucking kidding me!"

"I'm afraid not. Zakuro-dono said you might be able to help us."

I immediately looked at him responsible for getting involved.

"I'm sorry, danna, but this is serious, and the only one capable of ruining a wicked plan is you."

Hey, what do you mean by that, I ruin villains' plans so you'll think I'm a justice warrior?

Unfortunately, it's true!

Not to what he say, just to help them.

"This situation is certainly problematic for the kingdom. But it seems that your former country has problems, and this is an opportunity to eliminate the cruel things of this world."

No one was paying attention to me, but I knew that a mob was a horrible thing, and even more so if it was related to the three nasty things they said.

"We will use the power of my cheating item, Bell, come."

A white sphere came floating over at high speed as it had things floating next to it. It seemed to have had fun too.

The ninjas but us were surprised,

"What do you wish Master?"

"Bring Zwei as quickly as possible."

"That can't be done. She arrived along with the cruiser at the same time, but she was hiding."

"I was already going to tell you something. But well, did you bring that item you said you want to try?"

"Of course."

I smiled wickedly

"Alright guys, we'll all help to destroy those idiots. Here's the plan to end it all in one night..."

I proceeded to explain my plan.

◇◇◇

A large castle in the middle of downtown was the location for a meeting.

The castle looked exactly like what a shogun's castle would look like in the Edo era.

A large group of men stood at each corner of the castle.

The men were dressed as yakuzas, a local organized crime force.

Many wore katanas or old machine guns.

A large man in a white suit and mustache walked up to a room.

He was the head of the Cashmiro Family, Ganpino was his name.

Opening a sliding door a man dressed in a yukata, long black hair and a cat-like mustache awaited him.

It was the head of the Zouken clan, Raiden and the two were enemies according to the game.

The enemies were causing trouble for the main cast of characters and there was an event related to both of them called "Siege of Rashoumon Castle". It was a historical event so there was a lot of popularity.

The two men sat down and started chatting.

"Good to see you, Ganpino-dono, how is the republic?"

"Every day they try to create the invincible soldier project, but they fail. It's a pity to see how hopeless and finished they are as a country, wahahaha."

"I understand, well, let's not waste any more time, the answer to your proposal is?"

Ganpino stopped laughing and suddenly became serious.

"It's not a ruse is it? I don't like being tricked."

"I swear to you it is not. I wish to rebuild this country and to do so I need power and only you can give it to us."

"If you are afraid of something, talk it over with me and I will sign any document you wish."

"Is it a good offer really?"

"I will give you 1/3 of this country as a down payment."

Ganpino's eyes widened.

"Wahahaha, I like that, well, just the same if you want to betray me, my younger brother Gambino, will take care of hunting you off."

"I hope that doesn't happen."

The two men were about to shake hands when an alert sounded.

"Something's coming!"

"Enemies?"

"It seems the rebels have come to die in vain. I'm sorry, but I knew they would come, it's better to weed out the weeds by the roots."

"Hoo, you have guts to use us? Wahaha, I like you!"

Raiden's men approached the balconies and watched something they couldn't believe.

"That's... spiders?"

A strange and large group of spiders were approaching walking towards the castle.

"They must be monsters only, kill it."

The men were pointing at the spiders, when they noticed something else.

On their backs they had machine guns.

Their bodies were black and their eyes were red.

A voice was heard as if speaking through a megaphone.

"Fire!"

The spiders began firing from position, a rain of lethal ammunition flew like flies piercing the castle and impacting the surroundings.

"What the hell is that!"

Shouted some men as they watched the castle under attack.

They also had guns, from the barrel of their machine gun appeared a magic circle, as they pressed the trigger a bunch of colored bullets flew at high speed impacting against the spiders.

It was a very fierce exchange between the yakuza and the spiders.

Meanwhile on the ground.

"So this is the famous castle."

Rudel and Kyojuro made it across before the hail of bullets happened and stayed close so the guards outside would come in for cover.

"I wonder if their friends are okay."

"Those guys are driving them from a safe place, no problem since it's just like driving a toy plane."

"I-I see. Are you ready? I didn't need to come."

Kyojuro asked Rudel.

At that moment, a great light shone in the skies.

"Tamaya! That's what you said, isn't it?"

It was the plan following the course.

The girls were using fireworks I think Bell, they were in a distant position to set off the fireworks and make people think it was an early pre-celebration. They didn't want any more allies to get close.

The number of people inside the castle was over 300, in the streets it was over 500.

It would be more dangerous if reinforcements came.

Rudel looked to the side of a building, there were the ninjas waiting for them to enter and cause chaos.

Rudel smiled and wholeheartedly shouted as he raised his rifle and aimed at the door which was cut off by Kyojuro.

"The biggest party of the semester just started!"

◇◇◇

Zakuro and the others were on a rooftop a nearby building.

They would attack from above while Rudel and the ronin would attack from below, thus leaving no chance of escape.

"It's amazing, if we had something like that, or an ally like that, we would have definitely won."

Before going up they placed locks on many blocks to prevent interference, they said a dangerous beast had been released.

"That may be, but the important thing is what we do now."

"That's right, is everyone ready?"

The other 3 ninja next to Madarao answered in unison. "Yes!" And they proceeded to jump from building to building until they reached the castle.

Due to the rumbling outside no one heard the big bang that landed on the roof.

Once they entered, they found other ninjas waiting.

They were all surprised and the fight began.

"Kill them all without mercy!"

Madarao pulled out his dagger, a kunai with a name, Kairi it was.

It was beautiful with a bluish edge.

The kunai moved at great speed to slit an enemy's throat.

Behind him, Zakuro unsheathed a purple edged small sword, it was a poisoned weapon that was passed to the chieftains of his clan, the weapon was christened Byakuran, as its targets rolled their eyes after being cut.

That sword approached a ninja's chest and pierced him. His face looked more pained from the weapon penetrating his hide than from the loss of blood.

Unomaru approached two enemies and used a long chain with a scythe for a head.

The weapon struck its target either crushing their bones or cutting them.

Mia was fighting several enemies, she used a shuriken and a kunai.

But as they were several she could not move well, so she jumped in the air, all were preparing to do the same, when she used a technique that could only be used by women.

In mid-air, her lower part that was covered, she removed it as if it were dead skin. Her butt and thighs were on display for all to see.

The enemies stared at her white legs and big butt which were covered by transparent black stockings.

At that moment where she used her body as a distraction, a great rain of shuriken descended hitting all the enemies killing them.

But for some reason all of them before dying put their palms together to give thanks and one of them said with his last breath. "Big butts are the true faith!".

That annoyed Mia who threw another shuriken.

Madarao was violently slashing his enemies and a bloodbath was manifesting in that place.

"There are many more floors to go! We must kill them all before dawn!"

◇◇◇

Lynette and the girls were several meters, almost a kilometer away from the danger zone.

They were carrying large spheres in a cannon which were exploding in the sky.

"Is something wrong princess?"

Fiona asked as she saw Lynette looking very strange.

"Nothing really, I'm just upset that they left us behind."

"Is that so? Seems to me it was fine, we are girls after all. We didn't get a combat type education like the boys."

"C-Certainly so, but hey. doesn't it bother you that we're the only ones who are safe? It's not sexist that!"

"... I don't think sexism has anything to do with ensuring the safety of the princess?"

Fiona's words made Lynette look a little strange.

Near them in some sort of robotic portable toilet were Alis and Airy manning the robot spiders.

It looked like they were playing with a console.

"This is really hard. I can guess how bad they must be having a hard time, but is it still necessary to take them out?"

Alis replied to Airy who was very hesitant to end the lives of the enemies.

"It may seem that way, but that's our reality, we must show no mercy to our enemies, just look at Rudel. That boy is sowing a massacre inside."

"I know, but I wonder if it is necessary to eliminate them? We just have to teach them the fear of our weapons don't we?"

"That may be so, but you saw how they have destroyed a few of our forces and they don't hesitate in it. You are kind to care about your enemies, but they would not do that with you."

"Sorry, that was foolish of me."

Alis smiled.

"No. That shows how much you care so much about life. I'm sure, the Saint must have sent you to us because of your kind heart Airy."

"Hehehe, I'm not much of a believer in the Saint, sorry."

"Is that so?"

"Ahhh, got it!"

Suddenly the conversation between the two was cut off by Lynette.

"I just thought of what to do to help and not get sidelined!"

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Lynette turned to look at them with a ghoulish grin.

"Fufufufu, girls, with this you will make personal achievements too."

The three of them were startled at the sight of that Rudel-like smile.

◇

Once Kyojuro destroyed the wooden door.

The first yakuza I encountered I shot him without a chance for him to draw his gun or beg for mercy.

Then another group of yakuza were coming down some stairs in a lobby that was beautiful, but would turn into a bloodbath.

Oddly enough, Kyojuro got into position to escape, but instead of doing so he jumped into the air.

Amazing what this old man can do.

Drawing his sword he shouted something very kid anime.

"Iemitsu style: 108 heavenly slashes!"

In mid-air there was a great gust of wind created by magical power clearly.

The yakuza in the area were sliced to pieces leaving a gory movie scene.

For my part I was a bit disgusted as I climbed up avoiding sliced remains, but not from the blood touching my new shoes.

"My lord, I'll go ahead if you don't mind!"

"D-Do it quietly."

I kept avoiding severed remains of these guys as the chaos happened upstairs.

After climbing up and wiping my feet, a yakuza found me.

"Who the hell are you son of a bitch!"

Was what he was saying as he pointed his machine gun at me.

After shooting me, I didn't die.

I had a safety equipment which was a small mechanism that covered my body with a ghost cloth that was a protective shield with a damage resistance number.

The number was 1000 points and I lost 10 points.

I pointed my rifles at him as he seemed mortified that I didn't die.

The guy and his entrails fell to the ground.

I walked at my own pace as yakuzas came.

One after another was filled by lead.

Until one was a problem.

A big fat guy hit me.

Upon closer inspection, it looks to me like he was wearing a huge adult diaper.

I think they called him a sumo fighter?

No matter, the huge guy was a wall that didn't seem to want to let me pass.

Kyojuro must have gone further and almost made it to the top.

In this castle there are 109 floors counting from the lobby.

Since I was annoyed by this chubby guy, I decided to use traps.

I placed a magic bullet and aimed the rifle at the fat man.

Looking at his stomach, it appears that there are bullet scars and cuts, so he'll think I'm just another one.

Too bad for you.

After pointing the barrel at him. A golden magic circle appeared and a large lightning bolt shot out piercing the fat man.

A big hole was in his body.

I took my time while the ninjas and the old ronin were having fun upstairs.

Unlike the time where I fought a horde of pirates, this time I'll leave it to the vassals.

What an important man I am.

In the midst of all the commotion upstairs, I realized that I came to a large room, the doors were sliding, so after opening one, I found something unexpected.

◇◇◇

"Damn, there's no end to this!"

Madarao shouted as his kunai pierced an enemy's jugular.

Many enemies had them cornered on the same floor they arrived.

They couldn't even get down.

"The plan is going wrong!"

◇◇◇

"Kill the old man!"

A group of ronin-type samurai cornered Kyojuro.

After climbing several floors, he found a floor centered only on Sumarais.

He knew many as they were either enemies or allies.

But it appears that things have turned to be their enemies.

Kyojuro struggled relentlessly.

"The plan is failing!"

"I hope my lord is alright?"

◇

After opening a door, a group of yakuza and white-suited men were waiting for me, all pointing their guns at me, except for two guys. A mustached one and a long-haired one.

"Fire."

Said the mustached one and an endless rain of bullets hit me.

The pain was quite indescribable, but if I could buy it with anything, it would be like bees had a syringe for a stinger and stung me.

I was ejected backwards after the hail of bullets ended.

"Hmph, that's it? Pathetic. How's the situation out there?"

"Looks like we're almost done eliminating those things."

"Good. I'm really sorry about this, Ganpino-dono."

"No, no, no. It was a good display of how prepared you are for an ambush."

"Thank you. Now let's go eat sushi to celebrate our alliance."

"Wait a minute you sons of bitches."

I told them to stop ay they left me for dead.

I stood up as I was a little afraid of the hail of bullets.

They were all astonished to see me.

Before I went in, I had placed a magic bullet of the explosive type, thinking that another fat man was appearing before me.

I pointed the rifle at these bastards and as they laughed to see what was happening in front of their eyes.

I showed them how scary I can be.

"Don't fuck with me you fucking yakuza!"

After pulling the trigger, a red magic circle formed at the tip of the barrel and a big red snake came out, which headed towards the place where they were.

An explosion occurred.

The explosion consumed a large part of the room.

The place was on fire.

I came out of there to breathe fresh air.

It seems that I inadvertently took it upon myself to eliminate these pests.

With this, I will be recognized as a great hero for the kingdom. Which means only one thing.

I can be present in front of the queen and admire her beauty!

I never thought I would be interested in a mature woman. But she awakens my desire to monopolize her.

No doubt, a great day.

As I was staggering a little, I heard a voice.

"Where do you think you're going, you son of a bitch?"

There's no way anyone besides me survived that, but after turning around, I found the man with the half-burned mustache next to the yakuza boss who was badly roasted.

He was still alive, but not by much.

The guy with the mustache threw him to the floor and took some pills out of his pants, took them all and said some strange words to me.

"This medicine is a prototype created by the republic, its purpose is to test if they can create a super soldier and thus invade the empire. They gave them to me as a gift for all the weapons I sold them."

(I don't know what the hell that has to do with me.)

(In any case, this guy is badly wounded, so I'll escape.)

Before I could turn around, his wounds started to heal and his body was growing.

I don't like this at all.

But the shield I had is already broken, so I can't use it anymore.

I was walking as fast as I could and when I turned around, I found the guy with the mustache who had grown about three meters and was running to hit me.

I tried to use magic power to strengthen my muscles, but everything hurt so it was useless.

The guy kicked me and I went flying straight into a door.

Behind the door lay a big pile of boxes with gunpowder.

I can't use my gun here.

I couldn't get out as the giant guy came running and was about to reach this room.

I hid near a box.

The guy finally came in.

"Where are you, you son of a bitch!"

I want to run away and yell at the robo-spiders to annihilate him, but I can't as I don't stand a chance.

Then a noise came from some stairs in the distance.

It seemed to be the ninjas since I heard them mention Zakuro.

The giant guy came out and it seemed to be that way since they said things like.

"Wahh, what the hell is that!"

"Humans can't be tall!"

"His mustache moves by itself, how repulsive!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the giant was going to attack them, I slipped a bullet into my rifle and came out of my hiding place.

"Hey, you giant son of a bitch!"

The guy turned around and saw me.

He was coming running toward me.

I got into a position where I couldn't be affected by part of the blast, I was all set to blow him up.

I pulled the trigger and... nothing?

Hey, don't do this to me.

I quickly checked the rifle, it looks like the trigger has jammed inside and I can't fire.

I'm seriously going to die!

"Bell, save me!"

As I shouted those words hoping for a miracle.

Something similar happened.

Something came in through the sale and then, a big light happened.

◇◇◇

Lynette and the others were being escorted by Bell and the boys, they were in front of the castle. Obviously on a high rooftop.

Bell was controlling the spiders to shoot.

Apparently an explosion occurred, everyone thought Rudel was having fun.

"Okay, girls, let's get the fireworks ready!"

The girls had a large sphere made of explosive material.

"Hey you, floating sphere, is that the place?"

Bell approached the princess and in a pleasant tone replied.

"Of course, according to my analysis, there is a large trail of gunpowder at that location. We can use it to attack a large part of the castle from here."

"Fufufu, so we can help and that guy can't say that only he is the only one fighting."

Lynette was cheerful. But the girls were confused muttering among themselves.

"Hey, don't you guys think the princess is acting weird?"

"I thought being weird was normal for her."

"Well, it must be that she and the viscount had a fight recently so she must be worried that something will happen to him. You see how she gets when he's named."

"Is this what they call hateful love?"

Lynette was annoyed since she was listening to them.

"You, what do you think you say, don't you dare talk nonsense about me!"

"Who cares about that idiot? More importantly, load it and fire."

The girls had finished loading the bullet into a sort of makeshift Bell cannon, which the boys were lifting.

The cannonball slammed into the wall already before Lynette could yell, "I did it, you idiot viscount, I'm helping." A great light followed by a huge explosion occurred.

Half of the castle exploded in its entirety and Lynette panicked.

"... H-hey, I don't think all that generated a small explosion, did it?"

Everyone looked at Lynette in panic, Bell made her panic.

"There's enough gunpowder in that area to blow up several blocks, probably everyone who shorted nearby is dead. The Master included."

Bell made a cruel joke, but that didn't sit well with Lynette who grabbed her.

"That's not funny you stupid orb!"

Lynette shook Bell because of the terrible thought she had.

"Just kidding, the Master is safe, don't shake me anymore!"

Lynette returned to normal after hearing that Rudel was okay, then tried to dissemble by saying, "I-if everyone is safe I'm fine with it." But no one mentioned other people.

◇

The explosion was incredible.

The giant mustache was engulfed by flames.

It seems that even a big body like his can't do.

Kyojuro came to help me, it seems he stopped it hard since he was covered in blood.

We saw Zakuro and his group surrounding the guy that the mustache used as a shield.

He doesn't seem to say anything to him, the guy who calls himself Madarao pulls out his dagger he calls kunai and buries it in his chest.

I'm glad it's not like those absurd and unnecessary moments that add nothing to serious situations.

They came toward me, bowed.

"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you did for us. We were able to avenge in part the loss of our lord."

"If our lives were to end now, it wouldn't matter anymore."

I told them in response, "I don't really care, those guys wanted to take over the kingdom. Let's go heal and then have a long talk with the kingdom forces."

I hope my vacation won't be ruined because of these guys scattered everywhere.

◇◇◇

A new morning had arrived in the Altfode Kingdom.

In one of the rooms of the royal palace sat a boy drinking tea.

The boy had hair as red as wine, long to his chin. His eyes were heterochromic, the left one was blue and the right one was green.

The boy was the heir to a count, Curtis von Easton was his name.

He was deep in thought.

(I spent the last 8 months running errands for Uncle Moldred to hunt pirates being recognized as the noble pirate hunter just like in the game.)

His thoughts were strange as Curtis was a reincarnate.

Someone who knew the truth of this world and no one else.

(At first I found everything I found strange, but even more so that there is a princess and not a prince, but hey, never mind.)

Curtis had managed on his own to solve events that needed to be solved by other people.

At that moment someone walked in.

It was a man with a long beard, bulging eyes and not at all trustworthy in appearance.

It was Marquis Moldred von Balzac, a minister of the kingdom and some of the most influential people in the country.

"Good to see you Curtis-kun, how was your trip?"

"I'd say it was top notch if it weren't for the fact that I had to go hunting pirates and corrupt nobles."

Deep down, Curtis knew that not all of those nobles were corrupt, many even asked if Marquis Balzac sent him for his neck.

(I really don't care what this man planned. But as long as my ascent to the throne guarantees me enough).

"Uncle, how is the important matter going? I mean about my fiancée."

The marquis finished taking a sip from his cup normally and said.

"You should go to where she is now and spend some time with her. Never mind your accomplishments if the queen, old Mayer and annoying Siegwald are teasing with petty things towards you."

"Sounds good to me, and where did she go?"

"He went with the whole academy to an island in an ancient country called Musashi, it's less than a week away if you leave today."

"In that case, I must prepare to leave now. I want to make a good impression on her."

"I think so. Ah, Curtis-kun wait. One more thing."

Curtis turned around, Marquis Balzac before taking a sip of his tea said.

"Don't get involved with a guy named Rudel van Bradford. I still don't know if he's a threat to the kingdom or to me."

Curtis gave a wicked grin at that.

"Don't worry uncle, if that guy turns out to be a danger to the kingdom or my future queen. I'll cut him down, since it's not for nothing that I was labeled the Sword God at such a young age."

He left the room and walked in the direction of the exit.

(No matter if this game has changed for some reason, you'll always be the pathetic villain on duty, Rudel, hahahaha.)

And so, a character that shouldn't exist is altering the plot itself for his benefit.

End of the second part.
