Note: STRICT WARNING!!! THE FIRST HALF IS A TOILET CHAPTER, MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOt IN THE MIDDLE OF MEAL!!!

  ***

  In addition, since we already know that the leading actress, Sienna, was safe and sound, Shirone didn’t need to replace Sienna anymore.

  That’s why Shirone was really delighted to be freed from that role.

  To be honest, I was rather disappointed since I thought that it would be interesting to watch her play the role of princess knight in that drama.

  「Geez!! As I thought, everyone is such a meanie!!!」


  Shirone screamed in anger.

  Tch, she saw through me, huh. Well, it can’t be helped since I was actually looking forward to seeing her play that role.

  「But, just what in the world is that Moonlight Goddess trying to do?」


  Decius spoke anxiously.

  「She told us to come to Altar of Badon. Meaning that she must be waiting for us to come to that place. Yeah, what she’s trying to do in that place?」


  Badon’s altar was the place where the evil god Badon was sealed and this theatre was built right on top of that altar.

  It seems that the altar was connected to an underground waterway.

  Though it actually will be faster for us to arrive at the altar by going down from this theatre, this theatre unfortunately has no path built which leads to the underground waterway. In addition, this theatre was also protected by a fairly powerful barrier.

  This theatre might collapse if we force our war down by blowing the floor.

  Thus, we had no choice but to enter from the closest entrance to the underground waterway.

  The monsters seem to be running rampant in underground waterways, but we will leave those monsters to the freedom fighters while we chase our main target, the Moonlight Goddess. That was the gist of our plan.

  We will commence the plan tomorrow.

  「I’ve been wondering about the woman called Moonlight Goddess. I wonder what kind of person she is.」


  Turia muttered by herself.

  「My apologies, Turia-dono. We also do not have enough information about her, that’s why there isn’t much we can tell you about her by this point. But, please let the citizens take shelter for the time being.」


  Since we still had no clear information about Moonlight Goddess, there was not much we could tell the two senators and General Clasus about her. That’s why, it might be better to not tell them about her at all rather than telling them such half baked information.

  We have yet to tell them about Sienna’s safety too.

  Moonlight Goddess did say that she had no intentions of killing Sienna, but we should take precautions in case she was lying.

  I wanted to avoid the case in which we told Sienna’s father that his daughter was safe, only to tell him later that she was already dead.

  「Well, we’ll know what kind of a person she is once we arrived in that place.」


  Reiji flashed his usual daring smile.

  Yup, it just the usual d*ckhead. Seeing is believing.

  Everyone agreed with d*ckhead.

  ◆Valkyrie, Shizufae

  Early in the morning, we were gathering in the parade grounds of the Republic of Ariadya after receiving the commission from the freedom fighter association yesterday.

  The Parade grounds were the training grounds of the soldiers located close to the 3rd ramparts.

  It was huge, it might be enough for an army gathering place.

  Many other freedom fighters were gathered in that place too.

  「Uwaa~, look at this number of people, Shizu-chan. You won’t see this many warriors unless when marching into the labyrinth right?」


  Madi spoke to me while looking around.

  「Yeah, there’s so many of them. There should be at least two hundred of them, and all of them are big shots.」


  It’s just as big sis Keyna had said. Almost two hundred of the most famous freedom fighters in Teseshia gathered in this place. Upon a closer look, I also saw the figure of Earth’s hero Godan and Wind’s hero Zefa.

  「Quite a spectacle, to be able to gather this much force.」


  「Yeah, just what kind of commission is it that need so much freedom fighters.」


  Leylia and Nora-san spoke while looking around at the warriors around us.

  「But, just what in the hell is happened for them to gather so many warriors, Shizufae?」


  Novis, who came along, was voicing his complaint.

  「Dunno. I think they’re going to explain right after this.」


  In fact, they didn’t tell me the details either. They just told me that it was monster subjugation.

  「Hey, Shizufae-san. You guys came too, huh.」


  A man carrying a trident with him came to greet us.

  「Ah, it’s the hero of water, Nephim-san.」


  「Yes, hero of water, Nephim at your service, Shizufae-san. I see you become a valkyrie, huh. That suit look good on you.」


  Nephim sung a praise while looking at my helmet with the wing ornament on both sides.

  「Yeah. Thanks for the praise.」


  I’ll thank him for the time being for his praise. This helmet and the blessing was a grace I received from Rena-sama after all.

  「By the way, what’s your business, Nephim.」


  Novis suddenly stood in front of me, looking irritated. What’s wrong with him?

  「Just giving my greeting, Hero of Fire, Novis. We’re about to enter the underground waterway together, after all.」


  「Underground waterway?」


  「Yeah, Shizufae-san. I heard that the underground waterway has already turned into a monster den. We’re gathered here today to subjugate them.」


  I couldn’t hide my shock upon hearing that. I would never have expected that there’s a den of monsters right beneath the Republic of Ariadya. That was a huge problem.

  「Oi, if that’s true, this country is literally in for a huge trouble right!!? Just who in the world is the one who is responsible for managing that place!? How can they make such a mistake!!」


  It’s just as big sis Keyna had said. The one who is responsible for managing the underground waterway should resign.

  「Yeah, that’s why we’re gathered in this place. In addition, I heard that the person responsible for managing the underground waterway seems to be missing. They might’ve long since escaped from this country. Moreover, the senator who backed them, Cornes, is also missing.」


  「No way…」


  I was really furious upon hearing that.

  How dare they escape after neglecting their job. In addition, I felt an unspeakable sense of resentment toward the senate member called Cornes who went into hiding.

  「In addition, the matter about monsters in the underground waterway seems to be a top secret matter. Well, the citizens will feel anxious if they know about that after all.」


  Nephim spoke while placing his index finger in front of his mouth.

  Sure enough, things will get hectic if the citizens know about that. But, in the end, it was still difficult to completely prevent the news from leaking out. The reason being some citizens came to complain after hearing that news.

  「Everyone, the general seems to have arrived.」


  When I turned my line of sight toward where Nephim was pointing at, I saw general Clasus come along with Reiji-sama. Moreover, Sage Chiyuki-sama and the knight of Law Decius-sama were also with them. It seems they’ll participate in this mission too.

  And then, General Clasus climbed on the stage and started his explanation about this mission.

  ===

  ◆Dark Knight; Kuroki

  「I see, Reiji and co went into underground waterway huh.」


  I’m currently hearing the story from Turia who came to visit the mansion.

  「Yes, Black Storm’s God. The hero and his comrades went into underground waterway.」


  Turia bowed as she spoke.

  「But, something is bothering me. The woman called Moonlight Goddess… no matter how much I think about it, it’s definitely Kuna, right?」


  I couldn’t hide my shock when I heard the story about Moonlight Goddess from Turia.

  「Yes. Since I also arrived in that conclusion, I came to give a report.」


  Tarabos spoke with an apologetic voice.

  She also told me that the senate member called Cornes who lives around the corner turned out to be a ghoul masquerading as Cornes.

  And then, Reiji and co met the woman called Moonlight Goddess in the basement of Cornes’ mansion.
