“After all, it is in order to present everything in this world to Isshi-sama!”
Towards the last words Isshi raised a “Huh?”, but his voice had been drowned out by the girls’ loud cheers .
For some reason, all of the girls raising their voice of approval one by one before turning towards Isshi,
“”Please give us your orders Isshi-sama, we will fulfill them by any means necessary!””
Their voices melded together with an unusual vigor .
“Aah, wait, wait, all of you!!”
At Isshi surprise shout, all the girls that had been speaking with such high spirits shut their mouths and stared him in unison .
There the was still ways to go before their doll-like tendencies were completely cast away .
“Though that was a satisfactory display of fighting spirit, I don’t attend to allow you all to needlessly throw away your lives . Don’t be too excited . Though there are bound to be some sacrifice when carrying out military strategies . You all should need to consideration the postwar period . Pleasant things such as hobbies or even marriage need to be considered . ”
When the girls heard his words they began to look at one another,
“Bride” “…Idol” “Lover …”
And began whispering .
Isshi, upon hearing the sudden whispers of the girls, tilted his neck in puzzlement before turning to Premier for answers . However, she too had drifted off in her own world .
“The ceremony… held in a church, … with no less than 10 people…”
She too muttered in a low voice as her face reddened .
“Errm, does everyone understood? By all means, I forbid you all to die…”
“”Yes! We shall not die nor shall we be defeated!”” \Silver: Anyone here a tailor? I know a guy that’s gonna 1000 wedding dresses and a tux soon . \
Toward Isshi’s word, all the 1000 voices simultaneously reverberated in the hall .

“What happened, you suddenly concealed yourself . I was surprised when there is no answer for a while . ”
“Sorry . I had a hunch about something and needed to confirm it . Seems that was just an ordinary rat . ”
The following night after Isshi and the girls finished the Decoration ceremony, two figures merged into the night’s shadow as they infiltrated the town of Jirumu .
The first man that spoke had a hooked nose, and the one answering him was bucktooth .
Both of them concealed their bodies in completely black garbs, and were presenting an obviously suspicious atmosphere .
“Fumu, how was it . Was there any sign of the enemy in the surrounding area?”
“No, that’s the strange thing . As a matter of fact, I don’t sense anything . ”
These men were spies sent by Duke Roberto to spy on Isshi and his girls; these guys could be considered skilled in the fields of infiltration and have obtained important information on opposing nobles and even the Empire on occasion .
After chatting a little, the two soundlessly jumped from ceiling to ceiling, until they successfully approached the vicinity of the government office that the homunculi occupied .
“Strange, there is no sight of the enemy at all . Do you notice anything?”
“None, at all . Despite the enemy stronghold being right in front of us . . . it’s somewhat strange, could it be they already prepared a trap? Should we reorganize just in case…?”
When the bucktooth man expressed his worry, the hooked nose man solemnly spoke,
“Fumu, it seems that we possibly overestimated our opponent . ”
“Overestimated? Why do you say that?”
The bucktooth man expressed his doubts while the hooked nose man nodded .
“The fact that the northern foremost city Jirumu, was occupied caused Duke Roberto-sama to become exaggeratedly vigilant and send us out as soon as possible, but perhaps it is not the kind of situation that we thought it was . ”
The bucktooth man surprised expression caused the hooked nosed man’s mood to improve, as he fluently spoke his theory .
“After all, this Jirumu is at the forefront of the region . It’s plain as day that it’s an entirely different matter to occupy Reignite which is the Duke’s personal city . ”
Unable to understood the words he heard, the bucktooth man asked “Your point?” .
The hooked nosed man looked down at him and asked: “You still don’t get it yet?” .
“In short, although it’s necessary to be vigilant towards an opponent that could occupy a residential area in one night, it is not an accurate representation of those fellows’ ability . I think this city’s total war potential was approximately 200 mercenaries . If it’s only that much, then a few powerless homunculi would be able to take care of them in the dead of night . If you think about it like that, it makes sense how this battle could have been won . ”
“I see, that might be so . Surely one youngster and his homunculi won’t be able to overcome 100 man slayer Guregin and his band of powerful mercenaries in a direct confrontation . Though I’m positive that with the use of underhanded tricks and under the cover of night, they would be able to steal away a victory . ”
The bucktooth express his agreement .
When he does the hooked nose man sighed and said “Nevertheless” .
“Those homunculi are being manipulated by that lunatic, Furutera Isshi . Those people with shallow thinking that mess around with society only deserve severe punishment . Though I don’t know what kind of resentment he has toward this country, his occupation of this city is only an act of arrogance . It is already too late for those fellows to act as they failed to realize that Duke-sama has already sent us . The fact that it’s so easy for us to infiltrate is proof as they have no idea what war really is . So, their victory in this city can be chocked up to mere luck . ”
Towards those words, the bucktooth man let out a disgusting laugh .
“We shouldn’t have been frightened of an enemy that didn’t exist . This really is an awful joke . ”
Then the hooked nose man once again lets out a large sigh .
“No, this is unexpectedly boring as hell . Although we’re aware of the adversary’s foolish, it’s still going to be rather tedious slaughtering them all . However, it is our duty as Duke-sama’s honorable agents . It is necessary to do our best to hunt down the prey . Only oneself can cast away your carelessness with vigilance . To some extent that carelessness is the true enemy . ”
“I understand . I’ll be as reliable as usual . ”
The bucktooth man offered a toothy grin before the two of them focused on the government office, without a hint of the joking nature they previously had .
They proceeded to silently slip into government office through the window before heading towards the area where Isshi and the homunculi girls slept .
