Chapter 33

“Aah, that’s it . I and my partner easily infiltrated the enemy’s base . But, a myriad of traps had been laid as anticipated . As we retreated my partner was nearly caught by the enemy and committed suicide . Somehow I was able to escape out of the town’s entrance along with information regarding the enemy’s forces . However, I seem to have blacked out as I ran for my life . ”

Remembering everything to such an extent, the deathly pale expression that floated on the man’s face a moment ago disappeared .

Though, for some reason an acute pain ran through his head when he first tried to remember; it had been rather unpleasant and unbelievable .

(Kuh, anyway now is not the time to think about such things!!)

He had to carry the information he obtained back to Duke Roberto as soon as possible .

“… Fortunately, the enemy doesn’t seem to be pursuing . I remembered getting some kind of revenge . I killed that person with a single blow of my deadly poisoned knife . Um, I certainly killed him . But, fu, mu . . . ? How funny? Who was my companion again? He should be a good man . . . maybe?”

Suddenly, the face of a man whom he performed the infiltration with, crossed his mind .

However, the image changed into the face of a soldier he had never seen before .

“Fumu, so that’s the case . When I was found out by an enemy soldier, I disposed of him with my knife . Because I perfectly took care of the witness, the enemy has not yet given pursuit . Well, before I got discovered by the enemy, I’d better return immediately . I still have to report the information I gained . ”

As he nodded in agreeing with himself, he started to run as fast as the wind .

“A powerful force of 1000 homunculi troops, with magically enhancement weapons and defensive armaments will soon try to march towards the fortress city Reignite . Staying in the castle would be foolish because the enemy posses siege weapons . We should challenge the enemy troops to a decisive battle at Bermtrawl plains . ”

…

. .

.

“I feel that this will turn out very well . ”

The one explaining the hook-nosed man’s behavior, while projecting the image onto the tetragonal screen in the room, was scarlet-haired Fortuna Rossa .

Her beautiful forehead was shown as usual .

Receiving the report was Premier,

“For the time being, it seems that imprinting the necessary information was successful . Later we’ll need to carefully assess how the enemy’s general would act . That way we can hasten various preparations . ”

At that declaration, the other girls gathered in Isshi’s room, Verde and Totomorti, nodded .

This was everyone participating in the latest strategy .

“Well, I’ll continue with my observation duty . I’ll report when there is progress!!”

She then cut off the projection before stand up to leave the room .

However, right before leaving, she looked toward Isshi with upturned eyes and purposely walked before him .

Somehow understanding her expectation he reached out his hand .

“You did well . Excellent . ”

He said so while gently patting her head .

She then said,

“I-It’s not like I wanted to be praised or something!” tln:a tsundere here!!! Silver: wanted to and a “Baka” here, but she would never say that to Isshi .

While grasping Isshi’s arm .

It seemed like she didn’t want to release him, and her expression seemed as if she was becoming intoxicated .

“Rossa is so sly . It’s Verde who’s doing her best to preserve her spatial awareness!!”

While saying that, Verde began to cling on the other arm and rubbed her cheek on it with a with 「suri suri」sound .

Premier couldn’t stand the situation any longer involuntarily sighed .

“What are you girls doing? Master is tired of enacting this strategy last night . Don’t be too selfish . ”

To the warning,

“No, Premier, you always go off on various things large or small . . . ”

“Ah, I’m sorry Master . My body acted on its own accord . . . ”

Premier who clung to Isshi’s back parted from it while a little flustered .

“Really, what are you doing?”

Totomorti said while sighing .

However, unbeknownst to anyone else, she had already made her way to Isshi and placed her head on his knee .

Apparently, since the strategy that General Staff HQ came up with last night was going extraordinarily well, everyone’s spirit seemed to be rather high .

(Well, rewards and punishment are important . )

Thinking so, Isshi decided to let the girls do as they please for a while . tln:dam I got jealous with Isshi!

And for that reason, a large 「kya kya」came from Isshi and the girls, as that current situation continued for a while . tln: damn I’m jealous!!! Silver: Don’t hate unless you can take on his lovers .

…

. .

.

“The going-ons there seemed to be rather fun . . . ”

It was the lovely blonde cruelly-haired Marigold that said that in an envious tone .

As always, she was surrounded by her ojou-sama atmosphere .

In the bottom of her heart, she was jealous of the girls’ happy voices that were heard from the neighboring room .

However, the word from the purple-haired girl next to her, Violet shocked her .

“Because nii-sama is involved with that strategy, there is no helping it . Putting that aside, you should concentrate more on this strategy . ”

Understanding, Marigold puffed out her cheeks and showed a sulking expression .

But, to Violet words, Amarillo hastened her travel preparations .

“The place where we’re going should be fun too . ”

She said incorrigibly .

With her yellow hair in a ponytail, she still had her usual playful cat-like expression .
