A black-robed army walked through the royal city.

It conquered the city with the sound of its military boots and its cheerful singing.

“Wha, what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know. ……”

“The… the… the castle and the church…!”

The chaos since this morning had made the inhabitants of the Royal City anxious.

No, anxiety was already turning into fear…….

That was right.

The landscape of the Royal Capital had changed drastically from yesterday.

First, the church had collapsed and statues of the saint were crushed before the eyes of the inhabitants.

Then, dragons seemed to fill the sky and now iron dragons roamed at very low altitudes, threatening the sky of the royal city.

Then, an imposing iron carriage drove around the main street and the Royal Castle exploded into flames.

The Royal Guard, which had been relied on to protect the kingdom, was ground to powder in front of the Adventurers Guild.

The Knights of the Church were burnt to death in a firestorm and the survivors left of their own accord.

The Kingsguards was caught in explosions and was scattered in the sky and ground and the rest disappeared along with the castle.

It was no longer a panic mode.

It had gone beyond panic.

When the inhabitants of the kingdom knew that no one would protect them, it should have sparked panic.

They loaded their household goods onto carts and wagons and fled to the suburbs with their neighbours and families, in the hope that they would be able to protect themselves.

But! What a surprise, it was the [Aerial Mobile Force], rumoured to be the strongest to fill the sky, that appeared there, ──── and now that last and final hope, …..Hero Bodyguard Blaze.

The inhabitants went wild at the sight of him.

They rejoiced that a hero was riding on the back of a flying wyvern.

“Ah! They came. ……They came!!!”

The last shield of humanity. ────

The strongest and best warrior……Hero Koji!

“「「「Uuuooooooooooo♪!!!!」」」

Surely he could stop the mysterious army that had been going on since this morning. ────

Everyone thought so.

All but one thought so.

Everyone but Nasser Virginia was convinced of that. ──────……

But how did it look?

What was the result ……?

What happened to the Royal Capital?

What about the holy swords and the brave Blaze who had overwhelmed the sky?

It was obvious.

It was obvious to everyone.

What they knww, 

And what they could be sure of.

Everybody already knew.

……the hero was missing.

The Blaze was destroyed.

Chudoooooooooo!!!

After the explosion, which blew up an entire block of the kingdom, a terrible silence prevailed around and then they came……

────Alicia♪

────Alicia♪ The singing began to echo, and the military boots shook the royal city.

Zazzazzazzazzazzazzazzazza!!!

Zazzazzazzazzazzazzazzazza!!!

Zazzazzazzazzazzazzazzazza!!!

“Hi! It’s coming this way!”

“What is that?”

“A Black Army?”

They appeared before the inhabitants who had failed to escape.

“『『『────Alicia～♪♪』』』”

Singing high, matching uniforms and matching helmets.

In line with the footsteps, 『Left, right. Left, right.』 and they moved forward.

──Zazzazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza!!!!

──Zazzazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza!!!!

“It’s, it’s coming!”

“This is getting dangerous!!!”

“W,what are they doing?”

The inhabitants had never seen German troops before.

Therefore, when the Army of Terror appeared, to them it was the Demon Army.

They assumed that all those who harmed the kingdom were the Demon Army.

And they were not quite wrong.

Look at them! Look at that incredible army!

They were so terrifying and pressurised the inhabitant, that they could almost call them the army of the Demon King.

Fear!!

Fear!!

Fear!!

────The Germans!!!!

But for all of the kingdom’s inhabitants.

Well,

“「「「It’s the Demon Army!!」」」”

As the black-robed army approached, the inhabitants ran for cover.

The army, which seemed to number some 3,000 men, was so neatly lined up that it was terrifying and eerie.

In addition, iron wagons were running alongside them, making a Gyaragya sound as they rode beside the army.

They did not destroy the capital in particular but the iron wagons mercilessly crushed anything in their path, as well as household goods and furniture that had been set-up outside by the inhabitants.

They sang as they went.

Aliーーーcia♪

Aliーーーーーcia♪

It was therefore understood.

Even in the eyes of the residents, who were fleeing and hiding in the alleys, they knew that the army in black was marching in a well-defined direction. ────

And they knew about the one house that lay ahead.

It was────── the home of the hero.

They slowly came to realise……that one woman called [Alicia].

“O,oi…is it that Alicia?”

“y,yeah…… the ──── saint bitch who’s carrying the hero’s child.”

“I,I think it’s a different girl. Maybe a prostitute with the same name?”

“Then, why are they singing about a hero’s woman?”

“Why are they praising the hero’s wife…and future child?”

Some inhabitants took a closer look.

“Oi! Look at the man in the lead!”

“Oh, that’s ────!”

“「「The Heretic – Nasser Virginia!?」」”

A heretic who was said to have collaborated with the demon king’s army.

He was punished by order of the king and the chief priests, along with his family members, his parents were killed and his former boss was burnt to death in full view of the entire royal city. 

And the only remaining family member was kidnapped, a man who miserably lost everything and was ──── cast out.

The heretic Nasser Virginia.

There was not a single citizen of Royal Capital who did not know his name and face.

“See ──── the proof of heresy on his chest.”

『ド＆％＄』

Disfigured and burnt, his skin and dignity  were crushed.

Why would such a man lead an army?

………….It was obvious.

Heretics.

No……the very essence of heresy itself.

In other words.

“Is Nasser Virginia the Demon King?”

“Demon King……?”

“The Demon King?!!”

Yes, or else it would be strange for them.

They understood now. He was the Demon King and the Demon Army itself.

“Don’t tell me he’s here to retrieve his wife, who was stolen by the hero?”

“Stolen? I thought you said the hero saw her at the beginning and began to save her?”

“You idiot, you don’t know anything, do you?……That woman is a fucking joke.”

So the residents of Royal Capital, who looked on at the German troops from the shadows, continued to whisper to each other.

There was no stopping the rumour, and even facts that would normally be regarded as impolite had no meaning in a capital where authority had been lost.

The soldiers who policed the city and the neighbouring public servants had been destroyed and the whereabouts of the king, the symbol of power, were unknown.

There had been no news heard from the hero who had come down stylishly,  leaving the black-robed army to run amok.

In other words…….

Residents were beginning to look at the facts they knew thinly.

How a man called Nasser Virginia ended up there……

And why it happened. ────

But it was too late.

Nasser Virginia’s anger had already boiled over. The hero, the king, the chief priests, the guildmaster.

He had finished them all off !

So this was now a done deal.

…… this kingdom was finished.

Even if they switched sides to Nasser now, he would not save them.

He was called the Demon King and there was no way to save him.

The same applied to the people of the Royal City.

They threw stones, scorned him and splashed him with sewage.

They then abandoned the corpses of his parents and ridiculed his last family members. Also, they laughed and mocked him while he was crying over the death of his captain.

Yeah, that was right. ────

Only two women were left in Nasser Virginia’s life……

His loving family member ──── Liz.

And the loathsome loving wife. ──── Alicia.

He had no interest in anything other than these two.

And where he ended up, it was  already right under his nose.

The roar of German military boots, tank caterpillars and Messerschmitt engines moved forward, shaking the royal capital.

Alicia, Alicia♪  

And they moved forward while singing a song. ────

And then he arrived at ────.

A small house, tucked away on the edge of the royal capital.

Nasser’s house.

“Aaa, I’m home. I’m back…….”

Kikyi… The sidecar came to a stop, squeaking on the brakes.

“『Everyone!!! Stop!!』”

Gagan, gaan, gagagagaggagan! 

Pita──────

The Germans stopped at once with their boots on the ground.

They continued to slowly surround the house.

Nasser got out of the sidecar without focusing on his surroundings and picked up the equipped MG34, a 7.9 2mm ammunition belt around his arm to hold it, and said a few words……

Nasser was holding a generous supply of gift weapons and ammunition.

“────I’m home.”
