『Day 6 – Morning』

Anidiat Silverlight, a cold-blooded woman who sometimes resorts to any means necessary to achieve her goals. Although he is capable, he has a sixth sense like an animal, and is also skilled in handling crisis situations skillfully.

Her days are always busy.

She had to finish the work she couldn’t finish the day before, collect news from the guards she was in charge of, deal with elders with whom she had a bad relationship on behalf of her husband, the lord, etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that Anyidiart is in charge of other practical tasks, except for the work carried out by the lord himself. Today’s morning was different from usual.

“What… ? What did Francis do… ?”

When she heard the news about Francis Wing, a joiner who had signed a contract for a ‘purpose’ she most wanted to achieve, she looked uncharacteristically embarrassed.

Although the relationship started with a contract, she had a good view of Francis, who was loyal and devoted to his work. On the contrary, I feel regret that our relationship would have developed into a better one if we had not met through a contract.

“Francis is dead… ? Did you also try to steal the territory’s secrets and run away?”

However, what Anyidiart heard was Francis’ criminal actions and subsequent death.

The face of the security guard who told me this news was too unusual to be dismissed as a joke. Anidiat, who had a million thoughts in an instant, was surprised that the first thing she was worried about was not Francis, but the contract, but she thought she had to quickly go to the scene and check the situation first.

“First, guide us to the scene. right now… !”

Anyidiart was busily heading to the security guard quarters where the incident occurred, with his messy hair tousled.

“What kind of fuss is this morning… !”

*

Anyidiart arrived at the guard’s quarters in a cold sweat, firmly believing that all of this was either his hallucination or a prank by the guard.

However, as if mocking her expectations, when she checked the scene, she was faced with the scene of a terrible incident.

“F, Ranches… card… ?”

While muttering the real name of Francis, which she had tried to hide, she found the Join corpse with a piercing wound on one shoulder and all the feathers from its wings pulled out.

Looking at the wounds scattered here and there and the damaged structures around us, we could see traces of a fierce fight. What was even more strange was that it smelled like rotten wood rather than the foul smell of blood.

[Oh my ♥ Lord Anyidiart’s wife. You came♥]

[Oh, you’ve finally arrived. Madam♥]

Two people talking behind her who was speechless… No, it was two apostles.

“Hiit… !!?”

She was more capable than anyone else and stronger than anyone else, but strangely enough, she screamed when she heard the voices of those two apostles. It was definitely not a scream of surprise.

The voice was full of death, and it was a scream of fear, like when a one-day puppy stands in front of a tiger, or when the weak confront the strong.

My sixth sense, warning me all over my body, was telling me not to look back or respond, and I ended up taking an ugly step backwards.

In this space, which seemed to briefly reproduce the world of the fittest, the strong personally approached the weak who did not dare respond to the call.

[Why are you doing that? Madam♥ We haven’t done anything yet♥ haven’t we? Samson♥]

[That’s right. Ranche♥ This is so sad♥]

“Uh… Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it, that was it… … ”

At the command of the strong, the weak barely turned around and turned their gaze to the two apostles.

An apostle of the Join tribe called Ranche. The name of the apostle is Francesca Zerowing. The original of Francis, who was pierced by a spear and fulfilled his mission, and the 9th apostle who was saved by the goddess.

Next to him is an apostle with healthy brown skin and impressive muscles called Samson. Her real name is Lightly Elaine. An apostle who was accidentally brought from the empire to this place, and was the first among the people of the empire to be reborn with the blessings of the goddess.

In front of them, Anyidiat, who couldn’t even stand a stone rolling on the side of the road, answered without even thinking about using the honorific.

“How did this happen… Oh, can you tell, yo… … ”

Anidiart tries to listen to the incident by squeezing in, unable to even make eye contact. The fact that she was able to survive despite the explosion of life-threatening energy that would have caused an ordinary human to faint immediately was largely due to the fact that she was an adventurer who had overcome adversity for a long time.

In fact, when she first encountered Elaine, her sixth sense warned her just like now, but she pretended to be strong with strong words to avoid appearing weak.

However, now we are in a desperate situation where even that does not work. She was already consumed by the atmosphere and couldn’t even think of running away.

[ah… Is that what you mean♥]

Francesca speaks without any emotion while looking at Francis’ dead body. To her, that corpse was a lie itself, a doll that hid the true nature of ‘Francesca’.

[Shamefully, they tried to steal the territory’s secrets ♥ So I just made them pay the appropriate price… Did anything go wrong?]

The penalty for leaking confidential information is death. Although it may be a serious crime depending on the era or situation, from Anidiart’s perspective, the territory was not yet urgent enough to increase the level of punishment.

[okay. Those who break the rules will be severely punished accordingly… Isn’t that the way of the world and all military laws ♥]

To some extent, it was understandable that stealing confidential information and running away could be punished by taking one’s life. However, the only thing that Anyidiart was wondering was why it had gotten to this point and no report had been sent to him.

“Well, still… Still, there’s no need to kill him for that reason… I thought it wasn’t there, but it works… Besides, why are you taking this kind of action without even reporting to me? … !”

Anidiat barely opened her lips in the midst of the endless storm of death. If you see signs of an incident happening, shouldn’t you report it to yourself first? Above all, I once again groaned at the scene of an incident so cruel that it could even be called an execution.

[iced coffee… That’s what you mean. But I couldn’t help it♥ That’s right… We just noticed the sign last night♥]

[The only thing I can say is that there was no time♥ The situation was moving so quickly. So, first of all, on our own initiative, we decided to report after taking preliminary measures.]

Even though the situation is serious, the two apostles speak in bewitching voices and confidently report.

Even though Anidiat clearly had a higher status, she somehow couldn’t refute this low-level conversation.

A human being who knew nothing might have screamed at this treatment, but for an Anidiat with abilities close to those of an animal, it was impossible to rebel in the face of an overwhelmingly powerful force.

Her cool-headed anger came to an end here.

“Ah, ah… Well, that… Uh, uh… ”

[We noticed it not long after we returned from patrol. Yes. Elaine?]

[That’s right♥ By the time we returned to the dorm, we had already made a mess. The resistance was so strong that they could not be suppressed… Well, the result was like that♥]

Anyidiart’s words did not continue.

The anger that remained like a lump of anger left Francis’ horribly mutilated body behind and wandered around with nowhere to go.

“Why, why did you make that choice… Francis… ”

Facing Francis’ death, she did not hide her nervousness.

her longing. What was it that led to this, relying on legends handed down to the Join people?

“Okay… Then I’ll just go, I’ll go… ”

[oh. Are you not giving any special instructions regarding the removal of Francis’ body or his remains? Annie Art♥]

Francesca blocks Annie Art, who is trying to leave in a hurry. It seemed to block her escape, like the claws of an eagle trying to snatch its prey.

Anidiat closed her eyes tightly and squeezed out what to say. A way to escape from here.

“We will call someone to dispose of the body later, so please make sure that entry to this place is absolutely prohibited from this time on. And I will absolutely keep quiet about this matter, and I will inform you about the selection of the next commander later. Please wait until further instructions are given… Do you understand, do you understand… ”

Anyidiart spits out words in rapid fire, turns his back on the two apostles, and leaves the dormitory.

Pretending not to hear the giggling laughter coming from behind…

*

“Whoa, whoa… !! What, what, what… Those two people… !”

Anyidiart, who managed to get out of the dormitory, took a few breaths and recalled the events that had just happened.

“Lanche… The kid’s mood has definitely changed. What prompted you and what method did you use? To live like this… I have never felt this in my entire life… !”

When I first saw her during the member joining process, she was a very weak member of the Join tribe.

Perhaps they were just trying to sign a provisional contract as insurance in case Francis was no longer able to function due to an unexpected accident… In just a few days, it felt like I was reborn as a monster.

–Crack… !

As she was picking at her fingernails, she didn’t feel as calm as before. In addition to the current situation, one more thing was happening that would test her patience.

“Strange… It’s strange. There must have been a rat or a pigeon always on watch in the accommodation… At some point, there was no news at all. The same goes for children placed in the forest or on the streets… !!”

Her specialty was making full use of her talent for working with animals, placing small animals everywhere and using their eyes and ears to wage an overwhelming information war.

But at some point, the news stopped. That became another cause that increased her anxiety.

–Cracked… !

“Damn, damn… !! Why, this has to happen at this time… !”

The disappearance of vagabonds, the discovery of a black market, the gender reversal of high-ranking adventurer Lacey, and the turmoil of divorce between former colleagues Elizabeth and Myrit. Anidiat, whose head was vibrating due to the succession of events, was made to cry once again.

furthermore…

“I wonder what those damn old people will say… I’m already annoyed… !”

She is such a sly old woman. This incident must have reached the ears of her counselors, whom she always talked to. Since he was deeply involved in Francis’ appointment, he felt like taking a handful of stomach medicine if he had it.

“Ha, ha… I guess I’ll have to take care of it first… Nothing will be solved if we stay here any longer.”

After gathering herself as much as possible, she returned to the mansion. Behind her, there was only a trail of blood dripping from her nails that had been bitten for a long time. Without Anyidiart himself knowing.

『Day 6 – Lunch』

“Yes… ? What did you just say… ?”

[Hmm… We express our deepest condolences on his death. Lord’s wife]

It was her aides who were waiting for her upon her return. The words that came to the ears of Anyidiat, who was preparing to close his ears to the criticism and reprimands of his counselors, saying that the time had come, were unbelievable words.

[Francis Wing. Even leaving aside his personal feelings, he was quite a capable person. I will leave aside the reasons for his death, but first, I would like to express my condolences on behalf of all of our counselors.]

“Uh, uh… Well, let’s do that.”

Inside Anyidiart’s office, where the expression “calm in the storm” fits. But the storm did not arrive until several hours later. Those who simply express their condolences over the death of the guard captain with a pure heart.

There is no way those sly elders who swallow anything and do anything to protect themselves would say something like this… ?

As soon as I saw his face, I thought about spitting and criticizing him for hiring a security captain who committed a serious crime… ?

Such thoughts swirled in Anyidiat’s mind.

[But this is not the problem. The guard captain’s position suddenly became vacant. I think your wife knows that this is the biggest problem.]

“… … Yes. That is correct. Aide.”

[Since the anxiety of the people of the territory is beyond words, it seems urgent to appoint a new commander as quickly as possible. [Leaving aside the handling of this situation]

lie… I could barely stop that one word from jumping out of my mouth.

Words and actions that make it seem like a person has changed in an instant, if the person has not really changed, mean that there is an insidious intention behind them.

However, even if it was just words, it was impossible to pour cold water on the words of the counselors who were worried about the territory. Even more so for those who sincerely mourn Francis’ death as soon as they first meet each other…

Above all, he himself was acutely aware of the absence of the captain.

“Okay. We will actively accept the words of our aides and prioritize the appointment of a new captain… ”

Anyidiart let out these words and prepared to argue again. He was nothing else but the captain of the guard. I couldn’t help but have an aide’s influence in appointing such a big name…

I was like that…

[I will also yield this appointment to your wife.]

“Ha… !? Ah, hmm… Sorry, sorry. You lost your words for a moment.”

A tingling sensation, as if I had been hit in the back of the head again. Yield? The selection of the captain… ?

[I just ask for one thing… To prevent something like this from happening, I hope to become a just person who has strong power but is not swayed by temptation. So, let us just leave. I hope you make a good choice. ma’am]

“Ah… yes yes… ”

The conversation with the counselor was very short, but Anyidiat felt like a storm had passed.

She was exhausted as incomprehensible, unbelievable, and impossible words and events occurred one after another.

I even felt like I was a puppet in a puppet show, that perhaps the game had already been planned and I was being played by it.

“The appointment of the captain is to me again… ”

But it was a golden opportunity for her. Because I was able to choose my own leader.

“Ranche, that child was also a joiner… ”

Anyidiart, who had regained her stability, did not even have time to express her condolences over Francis’ death, but instead thought of the newly discovered Join people.

Strength and justice were not ranked. The only thing that remained in her memory was the Join tribe.

The ugliness that had been used as a sign of respect while limping in fear just now disappeared, and Anyidiart revealed an obsession bordering on madness, perhaps even that of an animal.

“Ed… , Edward… My lovely little brother. I’ll see you again soon… This sister will pick you up.”

“Sister, sister! Look over there. There is a pretty butterfly!”

“Ed Run slowly. And then I fall!”

『Day 7 – Lunch』

Just as the sun was reaching mid-sky, a witch wearing a long-brimmed hat appeared inside Anyidiart’s office.

–smart…

“It’s me. Here. You can go in… ?”

The witch kept knocking on the door, but there was no answer from inside.

“Phew… Just let me in?”

With a deep sigh, the witch opened the unlocked door and entered.

–Tsk… !! Wow… !

“Wow… It’s a mess. This.”

When the witch entered the office, it was chaos inside. The bookshelf was overturned, nothing on the desk was intact, and some of the furniture was broken.

“Why, why… !!! I told him to shut up, but he continued to spread rumors… !!”

Anyidiart was extremely angry and was destroying all kinds of furniture in anger. However, his anger still seemed to have not subsided, and he became angry by stepping on the shattered glass.

Still not knowing that Harry came in.

“Annie. Calm down for a moment. Hey, can you hear me?”

“Ahhhh… !! Fuck!!!Fuck!!!”

“Ah… I guess you can’t hear a word I’m saying.”

Herry had expected something like this to happen before he came to Anyidiart’s office.

There were several papers in her hands.

[I accuse the lord’s wife of extravagance! Are you saying that you are using Young Ji-min’s tax money for your own satisfaction?! Condemn! I protest!]

[Anidiat Silverlight, her appointment was a complete failure!? Security leader Francis Wing’s criminal activities are discovered and he is shot dead… There are also doubts about the Lord’s wife’s practical handling… ]

[The lord’s wife’s incompetence is eating away at the estate!! Anyidiart Silverlight should immediately stop enjoying the entertainment and apologize to the residents of the territory!]

All that was written was nothing but condemnation of Anyi Art. While she herself was working all morning, drinking milk brought by her squire, she saw this paper brought by a guild employee and came in a hurry.

Seeing her destroying various places with no worries, Heri had no time to stop her and could only wait for her endless anger to subside.

“Ha… You have to fabricate things to a certain extent. Why make people stupid like this?”

In fact, Heri himself felt that he was a childish person with a tendency to collect things until recently. She became an adventurer to find her younger brother, and when we first met her, she was a newbie who couldn’t let go of her nobility.

At that time, after being kicked out of the Academy, which was difficult to expel, Herry had just started working as an adventurer to pay the compensation set by the Academy.

But he changed his mind after recently hearing about a legend she had asked him to research.

“Changeling… I thought it was an absurd ghost story. I didn’t think it was really happening. Did I lack imagination?”

The legend of a fairy and a child being swapped. Some call it a legend created on purpose to easily abandon a sick baby.

The established theory was that fairies definitely exist and that they are harmless to humans. In the first place, it was a fairy that couldn’t be interpreted even by human magic.

Therefore, the changeling was considered a folktale even among many scholars, and was a buried theory that is no longer studied. I did…

“Annie’s younger brother was kidnapped by a fairy, la… What a strange fate. ah… That one is expensive.”

–Wow… !!

Anyidiart, who was still angry after throwing the high-quality ceramics out the window, was now trying to destroy the chair and the desk.

“Ha… I need to dry it out a bit. If this continues, my office will become an empty plain.”

Heri carefully held the magic gun and chanted a spell. Chanting a strange melody that humans could never pronounce, pink tentacles appeared writhing around her.

“Now that I think about it… Recently, the familiars I hid in the forest weren’t working properly… Oh, I don’t know! Let’s get our heads down a bit first!? I have to hurry up and finish the milk our trike gave me!”

With the witch’s signal, the tentacle rushed towards the angry beast, and it didn’t take long for the commotion to die down…

『Day 7 – Evening』

An evening when everyone is asleep. A lone wolf was watching the forest.

“The presence of the monster has disappeared. In an instant… All without a trace… ”

The wolf also noticed the abnormal situation. But the wolf did not take action easily.

Because it has the instincts of a beast like Anidiat… ? It wasn’t. Because he was a wolf, but not an ordinary wolf.

“I never dreamed that the power of a fairy would be helpful… ”

Fairy and Wolf. What a refreshing combination this is. The wolf waits until it has time to bare its teeth.

“What are they aiming for? Do you just want everything to become vulgar? ”

The wandering wolf lord slightly closes his eyes. What was briefly illuminated in the darkness…

[Ahhhh ♥ more, more ♥ Please treat Ekaterina’s pussy roughly ♥ Everything, everything… For ■■■ ♥♥♥]

In the middle of the fiery territory, in front of a collapsing mansion, the only sight was a silver-haired wolf girl mating with a happy face.

“Qu… ! That’s low level. This is all I can see from earlier… ”

What kind of disaster is coming to the territory? The disaster that even the wolves tempered by the fairies could not recognize had already seeped deep and on a large scale.
