Mr. Richt, are you working?

...... Yeah.

Why are you depressed?

What's the matter? What's the matter? What's troubling you?

Licht looked disappointed with his new job.

Aria and Faith, who didn't know that Richt's body was still tired, were worried about his unusual reaction.

They thought that if they persisted a little longer, they might be able to get away with it this time.

No, I'm fine. I'm fine. What's bothering you, anyway?

But I don't want to worry them more than I have to.

Besides.

Rosé would laugh at me if I said I was tired after all this.

He told himself that he had one more breath to take, and proceeded.

Oh, yeah. In fact, it seems that there are people in Latta who want to kill Bern. To put it bluntly, Bern wants an escort.

"......? Isn't it better if I don't do it and let Bern's people handle it?

Yes, but it seems that Bern doesn't trust his men at all. Even more so when the enemy is a skilled assassin.

Oh dear," Aria said, shaking her head in disgust.

It seems that he doesn't want to spend his time on such things, but since he promised to guarantee the safety of Bern, he couldn't refuse.

For Licht, it was a fairly low difficulty mission, because even if Bern died, he could revive him.

I think it's a pity for Bern to be targeted by assassins at a time when the human world is in chaos. I'm sure the security is getting a little thin.

"...... But, Demon Lord. You can't have Mr. Richt going to the place just when this Bern guy died?

It's absolutely no good, Faith. I'm not sure what to make of it. And if she comes back to life, the humans will know who Bern is.

Aria gave a plausible answer to Faith's question.

This mission is not only to protect Bern.

We had to protect Bern's position as well.

In other words, he must not be seen to be killed.

If the murdered queen came back to life, even if she could survive the moment, suspicion would surely be cast on her.

It would only be a matter of time before it came to light that Bern was not human.

"That's why I can only ask Licht to do this mission. Will you accept?

I'll do my best.

You're the man, Richt! I knew you would say that!

I knew you would say that!" Aria was honestly pleased by Richt's reply.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I forgot to mention that you are invited to the castle as a friend of Bern. I've got your clothes ready, but don't do anything crazy.

I'll be careful.

This is my costume, by the way! I think you'll like it!

"Oh, Aria's coming with you?

And so Licht went with Aria.

And so Licht and Aria were invited to the land of Latta.
