Chapter 118 The field hospital was located a fair distance away from the eastern encampment. After crossing the border and reaching the eastern camp, I stopped to think about what to do next. Should I head for Lindblum, even though I hadn’t planned on going there just yet? Passing through that city would be the […]
Chapter 117 Dawn breaks. Yet there are still darknesses that no dawn can dispel. Your symbol is already lost. The royal house you worship is gone. And yet, the soldiers on the front lines know nothing of this. They simply throw themselves into battle, believing in their nation’s victory, in their justice, in their king.
Chapter 116 “Is this everyone? My, my… how pitiful. Like livestock.” I said that to the wretches strewn across the treasury floor—creatures so far removed from being called treasures. Once human, now stripped of freedom in their limbs, able only to writhe helplessly on the ground. Nothing more than sacrifices. That Silent’s master would demand
Chapter 115 At the very start, as I swung my greatsword overhead, Isaka charged me head-on. And at an unbelievable speed. …This is more than I imagined.

Chapter 114 My consciousness awakens. Good… it’s really me.

Volume Eight – End of the Mad Performance Chapter 113 For an instant, I felt as though I was being sucked into something, and the next moment, I found myself standing in the middle of a deep forest. A small clearing spread out around me, but beyond that lay nothing but a dense, overgrown woodland.
Chapter 112 The declaration of war came at noon on the 10th, almost as if it had been carefully timed. From the speakers hidden inside the clock towers across Lindblum, the queen’s voice resounded.

Chapter 111 A declaration of war does not necessarily mean an immediate outbreak of hostilities. If that were the case, the side making the declaration would hold far too much advantage. In other words, a declaration of war is nothing more than a notice that says, “We’ll attack in X days.” Of course, the side
Chapter 110 “I’m home, Melt.” “Waah! You scared me… Silent, you really have presence, huh.” “Yeah… I try to act in a way that doesn’t break that image, but honestly, I’m always a bit on edge myself.” When I got back home, Melt was drying her tail with a bath towel.Fresh out of the bath—she
Chapter 109 The queen’s heart was conflicted. On one hand, there was joy — the long-standing problems that had tormented her country were finally resolved, her people saved. On the other, there was unease — an invasion from the neighboring nation now threatened to shatter that peace, and she was on the verge of declaring
