It’s an awkward situation to even make eye contact with.

It was no different from believing in the ninja’s words and coming down only to suffer disaster.

I wondered how to overcome the current situation, but no suitable answer was found.

In the meantime, Hibana continued to rub her hand without stopping and let out a small moan.

“No, what are you doing in the throne room!”

“Oh my? As you can see, I’m in the process of saving it by myself. Is there any problem?”

“Uh… ?”

It wasn’t wrong. Hibana’s true identity was that she was rubbing her body with a whetstone rather than a finger, which was just grinding.

In fact, I also had a chance to clean my swords at night in a human state.

After crossing the line with Alaina, what happened at that time wasn’t much of an issue.

Therefore, Hibana’s actions had to be seen as extremely natural.

Even so, it was not easy to accept.

“Of course there is a problem! Why are you grinding in the throne room? You can go to your bedroom and do it.”

“I haven’t been back to the bedroom once in the past few days. Because I was so busy with work, I couldn’t leave my seat. Fortunately, I have some time to catch my breath, so I’m taking care of it.”

He was talking as if he couldn’t leave because he had a lot of work to do, so he was using the interlude to shave his beard.

It was difficult to sympathize with her because she had never held a position of responsibility, but Hibana deserved praise for her actions for the country.

In fact, thanks to Hibana’s hard work, the Touhou Kingdom was currently prospering, so there was no reason to blame her.

“If you’re really busy, wouldn’t it be better to ask the maids in the palace?”

“I do not allow anyone other than my owner to touch my body. I think you know why I’m doing this.”

“… … I understand. I heard that it was successful, but it’s hard to let go of old habits.”

“Yes, it’s a hassle, but I take care of my body myself. But when you say things like that, I feel sad… … ah! If you were trying to groom me, please!”

Even though Hibana was crying, she slyly thrust the whetstone she was holding against her crotch towards me.

The whetstone was soaked with a liquid that I couldn’t tell if it was water or body fluid.

At least it wasn’t something I would touch on here.

“… … Grinding later.”

“You are not rejecting it, are you? I’ll be looking forward to it!”

“Keu… !”

Hibana was a high-ranking person.

I started by yelling and taking the initiative, but by the end, I was caught up in her pace.

Speech that naturally brings the lead in a conversation to oneself.

It seemed like words couldn’t overcome Hibana.

“Anyway, let’s put off the grinding and have a conversation. Wasn’t that why you called me?”

“Yes, I was very disappointed because it felt like we broke up quickly before.”

“Okay. Then, let me ask you directly. Why did you try to take Maxwell to the East?”

“By Maxwell, you mean the pot-bellied merchant, right?”

“If you’re thinking of acting like a fool, you’d better give up. Because there are many people who can testify about your situation.”

“Hehehe! Would I really lie? I just went through the process of checking if it was correct.”

“So where is Maxwell, and why was he taken away?”

“I think it would be better to show the answer to that question in person rather than tell it.”

Taaaak-!

I snapped my fingers and the hole in the ceiling I had come down from opened.

At the same time, chains fell from the ceiling with a clanging sound.

Lastly, a piece of meat that appeared to be connected to a chain came down, so if you looked closely, you could see that it was a human body.

No limbs or genitals were left intact, and anyone could tell who owned the hanging body.

“Maxwell… … .”

“Sal, please save me! Please save me!”

“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t like noise?”

“Sorry.”

“Eup-eup!”

At Hibana’s cold words, a black shadow descended from above and put a gag on Maxwell’s mouth.

There was no doubt that he was a ninja, but the series of processes were processed so quickly that even his face could not be identified.

Judging by the neatly cut edges of the body, it appears that Maxwell’s limbs were also processed by ninjas.

“This dirty pig committed an ugly act of betrayal and tried to run away from his master. So they completely removed my arms and legs so I couldn’t escape?”

“I never asked you to harass Maxwell.”

I requested sisters Alaina, Stella, and Eclipse to capture Maxwell alive and hand him over to me.

When I reunited with Hibana and talked to her, the story about Maxwell was out of the question.

Nevertheless, she found out about the inside story between me and Maxwell and kidnapped Dong Bang-guk and put him in a miserable state.

When Hibana frowned and expressed her displeasure, she quietly closed her eyes and lowered her head.

“I admit and apologize for acting on my own. However, the master didn’t seem to want anything from me, so I had no choice but to find out on my own.”

It seems that Hibana knows that I have given missions to the other swords.

But when I reunited with her, I moved on without asking her for anything.

I was secretly hoping that he would give me a mission as well, but I ended up solving a short story.

He was dissatisfied with that, but he couldn’t express it to me, so he kidnapped Maxwell to find out for himself.

Looking at the results alone, Hibana’s actions were a nuisance to me, but I was the one who created the opportunity.

It was an uncomfortable situation to even be angry about.

“Ha… ! Then at least I should have left my body intact. I won’t feel relieved until I cut this bastard’s limbs off and hear him scream.”

“Because pain was needed to open the mouth of a pig that had closed its mouth. Still, there is no way. If you bring a Taoist here and cast a spell to regenerate limbs, you can cut off a pig’s limbs thousands of times!”

“Ugh… … ”

“Eup-eup! Wow! Wow!”

Maxwell shakes his head violently, asking me to please just endure it.

His pupils were trembling as they were consumed by fear.

It seems that he has already experienced the pain through repeated regeneration and amputation several times.

This was a paragraph where I felt Hibana’s cruelty again.

“Anyway, as a result of repeated torture, I was able to obtain quite a bit of useful information! For your reference, the records of the torture were recorded entirely by hiring a wizard from the West Continent, so if you need a transcript, just let me know. I’ll tell you everything!”

“I’ll listen to it later when I have time.”

Have they recorded all the brutal mutilation and torture?

No matter what happened, I didn’t want to have Hibana as my enemy.

“I understand. Now, let’s move on to the next topic. This time, I have something I want to ask the owner.”

“What is it?”

“Master, what do you think about demons?”

“… … Whatever you think, they are idiots who need true education along with Maxwell.”

“After all, you are the master! You already know that the demons were involved in the pigs!”

Hibana put the tips of her hands together and smiled brightly.

She looked like a happy girl who still had something to play with.

The problem was that I felt confused when I thought of Hibana’s entertainment as torture that thoroughly torments and causes pain to the other person.

A girl with black hair and captivating red eyes who looks like Yacheon (夜天).

The contents are a bloody urethra that no murderous spirit can access.

The sense of disconnection was so great that words could not be easily connected.

“So what do you plan to do when you know that I fucking hate demons?”

“Well, if my master wishes, I will not hesitate to oppose the demons. We must cut off all the demons that are reaching out to the eastern countries and prepare step by step to turn the demon territory into a land where no living thing can live, hehehe!”

“Arthur, you are the empress of the Eastern country. It is wrong to discuss the war as my personal matter. Do you know how many people die when war breaks out? The word war should not come out of the leader’s mouth easily.”

“Master, you are mistaken.”

“Illusion?”

“Yes, from the moment I unified this land, the Eastern Kingdom became a land for me? This story is acknowledged by everyone living in Eastern countries. To explain it more simply, if I give the order to die, everyone must end their lives on the spot!”

“What kind of nonsense is that? … .”

“It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Hanzo!”

“Yep!”

“Please commit suicide in front of me right now.”

“I will do as instructed.”

A ninja pops out from the ceiling. He took out a dagger from his pocket and tried to stab it into his own throat.

If I hadn’t caught his arm just in the nick of time, he would have already become a corpse.

“Mi, are you crazy?”

“This is to lend credibility to what I say. If you still don’t believe it, why not bring in a civilian and give the same order?”

“Okay, you just have to believe it!”

“I am very happy to have gained your trust!”

“Tough bitch… … .”

In addition to his eloquence, his insane ability to act was at a level that was unrivaled.

I couldn’t let go of my tension in front of Hibana.

“I will admit that the eastern country is in your hands. However, let me correct one thing here. I am not your master, strictly speaking, I am your master.”

“That’s what I heard.”

“Right? So there is absolutely no reason for you to intervene in my situation. They even said that they would go against the demons for my sake… … .”

“It was not my master, but my future husband! I’ve been calling you by the wrong name, my friend♡”

It’s going to spin, really.
