"Phew..."

Juana, sitting on the sofa, exhales a great sigh.

He opened his legs, and his wobbly figure was far from that of his daughter.

"Hey, do you have any booze?"

In addition, Juana's mouth contains words that the daughter would never say.

"What? At a time like this?"

My subordinate, the Wizard, does not mention its appearance or the use of words.

"It's because it's important." Bring it to me. "

In the Imperial Castle, Juana had to pretend to be a minor daughter, and she was always nervous.

Recently, the eyes of surveillance have increased especially, and it was a day to scrub the nerves that would not go away even in the given home room.

It would be nice to immerse yourself in a little liberation.

Juana's exhausted subordinate, the wizard, prepared the sake as Juana wanted without saying anything more.

Remove the cork and pour the bright red liquid into the glass with your familiar hand.

"... please..."

Juana's eyes glowed as she checked the label on the bottle.

"Huh, isn't this a pretty good thing?" The Empire was a thrill, too. "

Even though it was a wizard who poured it, it was a wine of the ages that was not easily available.

Even a glass of wine tells how important this plan is to the Empire, and I feel pressured in vain.

"Well, that's all you have to do..."

Juana has long liked wine.

Not only the taste, but the more you know about the colour, fragrance and history, the more you will never get tired of it.

There were times when that happened.

"Shit!... shit!"

As if mocking Juana's only hobby, her body moves freely in front of the wine.

Gluttonously, the water that you drink after physical labor in the hot sky is cheap but expensive, but you drink it up.

It doesn't even matter if this bite is worth a few silver coins.

”Giggle, giggle... puhah... uuu, my body's on its own again...”

A glass completely emptied remains in my hand.

"Master Juana, you've tried so many times in vain, haven't you?" Instinct and greed are stronger in body memory. It would be difficult to control if a soul was forced to put another soul into a vessel once it was separated. "

The man pours the wine back into an empty glass and shakes his head, asking him to give up.

The margins of the glasses left to enjoy the scent are also unnecessary for Juana.

What the body wants now is quantity, not quality.

Juana's most disdainful way of drinking while enjoying a glass of wine can be resisted every time, regardless of her will.

"I feel a little rejuvenated, but I don't like this..."

Moreover, this body is not drunk at all, whether you drink it or not.

I had tried to figure out how much I could enjoy being intoxicated, but my wallet gave me a gibberish first.

"If only I hadn't had that accident that day..."

"...... Are they being brought in?"

When the bottle was empty, Juana suddenly asked her subordinates as she remembered.

“Yeah, because they can't live without us. I am also informing you of the start time of the artillery strikes you have just set. Even if I look like that, I'm a wizard, so I'll do my job."

The subordinates are wrinkled between their brows, but it's only a matter of time, but their existence is hidden for now, ”he reports in a low voice.

"Hah, great. I think it was better than them." It's getting dark... let's get out of here. "

Juana lifts her heavy hips.

"Hah..."

The time to attack the Imperial Castle was approaching.

The long-running plan will finally be executed.

There is no going to be any moodiness towards fulfillment.

Juana's sighs, steps, and feelings were all heavy.

I really wanted to throw it out if I could.

I know that the Empire's orders are absolute.

There is no elevator.

Juana's orders are going to kill a lot of people.

The aim was the royal castle.

Given the accuracy of the cannon, the shells will pour out relentlessly in its vicinity.

The center of the capital city became a sea of fire, and it is easy to imagine that those who live in the capital city will run away without difficulty due to the rain of artillery shells.

Killing people by magic shouldn't happen.

It has always been taught and taught that power is to protect people.

"That's right, now..."

I don't want to give orders to my men, but I don't want to do it at the root.

Juana was a wizard, but she was a human.

That's when people attack people to protect them.

Juana-sama?

My subordinates' faces are also pale from anxiety and nervousness.

"Let's go."

The Empire gathered wizards from all over the world.

But the number of magic stones decreased.

I also went on to study magic tools.

However, the amount of magic stones that progressed decreased.

Magic Stones have the qualities of magic amplification and saving.

Especially an essential item for barrier magic.

Without the magic stone, the wizard would only be able to continue to use barrier magic until it was exhausted at the edge.

No man can live without the barrier.

"Ah... eh? Eh...?"

What's the matter?

With the door open, my men are hardened.

"There's no one there."

“How's it going?

The wizards are always guarded by Imperial Guards.

It was more about surveillance than escort.

Imperial-born wizards were always on the lookout to avoid escaping harsh environments, so that wizards who came to be sold from other countries could not escape.

I've never seen anything like it.

When my men went to fetch wine, I saw a serviceman in front of the room.

Nevertheless, there is not a single regular soldier in the army.

"Juana-sama, aside from the military, there are no sailors or other wizards...... Mogo!"

Damn.

Hey!

A subordinate in front of Juana suddenly pushed her to the floor.

It was as if someone had pushed him down, but there was no one there.

"Huh? What the hell is this...?"

Damn.

Juana's body is defeated by someone else, following her subordinates.

But I still can't see him and there's no one there.

"Hey, who was that...?"

No matter how stareful you are, there is no one.

And there was no one, and the thread wrapped around Juana's body, and her mouth was blocked with the thread, even as she cried out.

Mm! Mm!

No one can help you, even if you raise your voice.

His body was wrapped around him with thread, and he couldn't move as he wanted.

Then, when I thought that there was a sudden sound, my sight was suddenly distorted, and the strange tinnitus and dizziness attacked Juana.

After a while, I noticed that the gurgling view was moving at a high speed by changing into a hyunhyun, but my body was bound by a thread and I couldn't move to resist.

It looks like a fine, ordinary thread that's wrapped around my body, but I can't move.

The yarn doesn't seem to be magic because it doesn't feel magic, but it's super confusing what this is all about.

Dosa.

I felt the impact on my body and the hard ground on my cheek, and I knew that I was bound at a high speed and the movement was over.

His body still didn't move, and he had no choice but to fall down while he was thrown to the floor.

Mu! Mu!

If I managed to move my neck to multiple voices, my subordinates and the other three wizards who had been knocked down by someone invisible in front of me were blocking their mouths, restraining their bodies and rolling.

What are the Imperial servicemen doing, kidnapping a wizard so lightly?

Usually, it is not useful when it is important to stick tightly together and not move away.

"Oh, if you think of someone, isn't it the Saintess Juana?" It's amazing to see you in such a place. ”

You can hear the kidnapper's voice above your head.

Her head grizzled with the aftertaste of high-speed movement, and she managed to raise her face while struggling with her immobile body, and there was a slightly familiar freckled face in front of her.

Hmmm!

If I remember correctly, it must have been a student of the school.

If the students at school are kidnappers, I don't know what they mean.

So, where are we in the first place?

It was indoors, but obviously not an Empire ship.

No, on the contrary, it didn't seem to belong to the Kingdom.

The interior of the room is full of specs that I have never seen before.

Is there a country where Juana, an imperial citizen with a flourishing exchange with other countries, has no idea of even the material on the floor?

The ceiling is bright as daylight, even though the lights of the magic fixture using magic stones that were not seen in the royal castle of the kingdom are used sparingly.

"I'm in trouble." Why was the [Kingdom's] Holy Maiden on the ship of the Empire recognized by the Church? How did you get to Simmons territory from the Imperial Castle? Juana, the guest of honor, needs permission from Her Majesty to travel long distances. I don't think the king will be allowed to leave the castle when it's empty, but it's strange. ”

There was no troubled expression or surprise, and the freckled boy leaned his neck in a pose.

Hmmm!

Unpleasantly, a cold sweat conveys through your back.

What does this boy know and what does he want with us?

No way, until that plan... no, calm down.

This plan never leaks from people.

Those who know the plan are unable to speak out due to the magic of constraints.

I used valuable magic stones to keep the information from leaking.

Besides, we can't find out about this plan on our own.

There is no such idea in this world.

No one in this world has such a ridiculous idea of a country attacking a country.

Even if a good spy could grasp the current situation of the Empire in detail, unless he was a genius, he would definitely not come up with this idea.

The unprecedented is beyond anyone's imagination.

To deal with such things with conviction, one must be a superman who is an extraordinary genius as well as an extraordinary ability to act, covering everything from force to crisis management ability.

I can't stand that kind of guy.

"I'm sorry, but even if you're a saintly lady, you can't release your restraint." I don't want to get shot by a cannon on a ship. It seems that there are some wizards, and even if you increase the distance of the shells from here to the royal castle..... "

"Mm!!"

There he is.

There was a genius.

There was Superman.

I found out everything.

I was seeing everything.

But there was no problem.

The people of the Kingdom hadn't known a wizard for over thirty years.

I don't know what magic is.

Juana gazes at her wizards.

It's nothing.

Whether your body is restrained or your mouth is blocked, you can use magic.

The kingdom that is a magical backward nation that doesn't know such things can't win from the edge.

This yarn can be easily solved by magic... solved... solved... and...?

"Hmm?...... Hmm? Hmm?"

I couldn't get rid of it.

Huh?

"" "" MMMMM!!

It wasn't just Juana who couldn't solve it, but her men, too, were all shaking their heads.

I can't use my magic...?

There is only one reason why magic can no longer be used.

The wizard's magic power was exhausted.

However, in order to fly the shells, I stopped at least attractive magic today, and the magic power was well preserved.

It was impossible for the magic power to expire.

I can feel the magic in my body as proof of that.

However, the path that activated the magic power was blocked by something.

It was my first feeling.

I have no idea what is being inhibited by [what].

"I hope that the noisy cannons will be dropped off at the port and the people of the Empire will return in peace and quiet, and that they will never come again for such a purpose. Can you agree with me?"

The freckled boy even smiles at Juana, who is bewildered, who has been detained by the sailors and the military just because she didn't make it through this room.

Hm, hm!!

That's ridiculous.

Even though I didn't feel comfortable with the plan, I was prepared for it.

From designing cannons to training wizards, we've done extensive reinforcement work on our ships to withstand the impact of artillery fire.

A grand plan that cost a lot of money, manpower, and magic stones?

Yes, it's not a pleasure to go home.

If I returned without a fight, I would definitely send Juana and her wizards to the edge.

The wizards here worked in R&D, including Juana.

An institution that is no longer as valuable as it used to be.

We don't have enough stock to spawn magic stones for research or development.

"Oh, I've done this before." If you keep your mouth shut, you won't be able to answer me, right? "

A freckled boy takes out a small ivory knife from his inner pocket and cuts the thread that was blocking Juana's mouth.

The thread that I couldn't solve fell off so easily.

"Hah...?"

"... oh, Juana-sama? Have you had a drink?"

The freckled boy, who was close to cutting the thread, pulled his nose once, as if to be sure.

“How's it going?

“Isn't this a magical red wine from the Château Lancafé, produced only in a very small number every year in the Alder Region of the Empire?”

The last time I drank a whole bottle of Juana, it smelled like alcohol.

No, why don't you take another dimension too far?

The Empire's wine regions are scattered throughout the country and are known for their large numbers compared to other countries.

Each region has its own history, has its own reserves, and has its own manners.

It is said that those who once fell in love with the wine swamp in the Empire will be drowned in the vortex of knowledge and will not be able to rise again.

At a dubious age when he could drink alcohol, the boy could only guess the minor origins that nobody in the Empire knew.

At least no wine enthusiast Juana knew could do such an art.

I would very much like to blossom in the wine discourse if it weren't for such a scene.

…………

But it would be wise not to say anything now.

It's the mountains that I want to talk about, but not now.

In unfavorable circumstances, it is a fool's doing to open his mouth.

"Are you all right? Well, I've already reported to the Royal Castle, so the Knights of the Kingdom will arrive in a few hours." Common people like me decide to pull around here. Let's leave it to the experts. ”

Even when I looked at Juana, who opened her mouth in an easy-to-understand manner, there was no rushing gesture against the freckled boy.

Juana + the four wizards, the proud soldiers of the Empire, and the mighty sailors.

Because it was time for the artillery strike.

Juana smiled gently.

“What's wrong with you?”

I don't think that a boy who doesn't miss the slightest change in expression is a common man.

"Fufufu"

Juana's gaze, restrained by her face down, was accompanied by a man who was standing by on time.

The cheeks (...) are (...) on the floor (...) (...) There is a human standing with an abnormally small thumb that can make eye contact with the Juana in the (...) shape (...).

What's the matter!?

Too small a man with a thumb, just like a boy with a freckle, is also surprised.

But even if I noticed him, it was too late.

Yes, he's a wizard, too.

The wizard pointed straight to the sky and cried out with a high voice.

Dawn!

At the same time, the sound of a dawn and a loud explosion seemed to match the high-pitched voice.

It was the sound of artillery fire.

I aimed at the Imperial Castle and heard the shells fired.
