I've already experienced so many eous things that shake people's minds that I'm sick of them, so I thought I wouldn't be surprised by anything like that from now on.

  [What's with that funny look of yours? Hmm... Looking closely, it seems to fit a little.]

  As I faced the owl chatteriedly in front of me with the princess's voice, I felt an indescribable feeling.

  As far as I know, there's only one magic that allows you to do this.

  Familiar.

  It was a magic that allowed the caster to make a traana with a non-humay, allowing that entity to dispy mystical abilities that surpassed its natural abilities.

  "You're not making this guy your servant?"

  I know it's a very difficult advanced magic that even skilled magis would shake their heads at, so how oh did you pull it off?

  It was clearly just an ordinary eagle owl until a few weeks ago.

  I decided to just accept it since I knew I would get another absurd answer if I raised my doubts.

  [Yes! Snow was a child who had grown up with me since I was little, so she readily accepted it. But is that all you have to say?]

  Although Alicia only showed me her sloppy side in front of me and ervert with an unbearable sexual preference, she was still His Majesty the Emperor’s legitimate daughter.

  It wouldn’t have been strange if she had shown one or two talents that surpassed on sense.

  I spoke in a warm voice to the pure white eagle owl that was turning its head sharply with its arms folded like a human before my eyes.

  “I’ve missed you so much.”

  Although others might think I’m a madman, my real identity is a merary captain from the southern barbarians.

  For them, who are in harmony with nature, having a friendly versation with a bird was a natural act.

  [I miss you too. I want to do this and that with you again… That, e back quickly!]

  "I'll e back as soon as I'm doh everything."

  Still, it was fun to talk to her in this unfamiliar way.

  Alicia doesn't kly what mission I'm on.

  I just told her that I'm going a little far away. That must be why she's trying to tact me like this, even if it's half-forced.

  So, si's e to this, shouldn't I ask Alicia once?

  As far as I know, she's the princess of the empire, and she's often appeared at various exters since she was young.

  So her knowledge of social circles must be very extensive, surpassing even the most expert.

  "Si's absolutely necessary for my mission, could you teach me how to dance?"

  Of course, as a woman, it was uhat she would know how to dance like a man, but since I couldn't lose anything by asking, I figured I'd just grab onto straws.

  [Dang? Yes, of course I teach you. I haven't danced with a ma... but I have a rough idea of what the opposite sex dances like. I don't want to step on each other's feet when we daogether]

  "Is that so? That's really fortuhen, if we just dance a simple waltz right now..."

  [Wait. Before that, if we have to dance a waltz, you'll have a partner... who oh is that?]

  "That's... Deputy ander Agnes. It's an unavoidable mission."

  [What?!]

  As a result, thanks to the ued and wele guest, I was able to quickly acquire basiowledge about dang.

  [Huh! You've been pying with that female cat. You, be prepared when you e back.]

  While learning to dance from the princess, I had to srofusely because I kept seeing the sharp eyes of the pure white eagle owl, a bird of prey.

  The day of the operation.

  All preparations were plete, and now all that was left was to move.

  "Did you send all of our troops' ons ihe castle?"

  "Yes. We sed not just a few boxes, but several whole wagons, so there's no ce of getting caught. We've already bribed all the people involved or repced them with our own people."

  "I'll trust you."

  "Then, I'll go first."

  Sihere's no way the party could enter armed, all of the ons and armor were already stored in the warehouse ihe castle.

  In addition, the structure of the castle had already been figured out by Lord Randolph and the agents of the terintelligence Agency.

  In addition, ihe castle, priests of the Celestial Church disguised as schors had already attehe party, the enemy's movements and making advance preparations.

  The only variable in this operation was that those with keen senses could read the momentum and notice our true identities.

  Even as I was going over the flow of the operation in my head, the line heading to the ba hall was getting shorter and shorter.

  The priests of the Celestial Church were already wearing artifacts that suppressed divine power, so it was fine, but the problem was us.

  It is widely known that warriors from the southern barbarians are strohan average knights, so there is o be suspicious about whether or not they use mana.

  However, if there were someone in the enemy camp who was skilled enough to figure out the nature of mana or the type of trainihod just by looking at it, the pn would immediately go awry.

  I only hope that doesn’t happen. It was never pleasant to be in an all-out battle in the middle of the enemy camp.

  “It will be our turn to go in soon.”

  “W-This is really quite shaky…”

  I g Vice-Captain Agnes, who was blushing beside me.

  The trast between my rge body, which was forced into a terribly ill-fitting straitjacket, and her pretty appearan a bright blue dress was striking.

  “Let’s go now. Please take care of me, ma’am.”

  "Yes, yes… honey…"

  Now it was really time to go into the middle of the enemy lines. I held the vice-captain's hand tightly once more and strengthened my resolve.

  As we ehe ba hall, the host wearing a funny-looking half-mask introduced our party with extremely loud gestures.

  "The great warrior from the Bck Wolf tribe from the south, Garros, and the third daughter of Sherwood Trading pany, Irene, are here! Oh, and behind them are a group of fearsome barbarians!"

  They were treated as s to liven up the party, but sihey weren't really here to enjoy the party, it didn't matter anyway.

  inally, it arty that only nobles or those of simir power could attend.

  sidering that, the fact that they let not only me and the vice-captain but also all of their subordinates into the party robably to treat us as spectacles rather than as guests.

  Si had already e to this point. Rather, I wish they would let their guard down and make fun of us.

  "Oh! Is that the leader of that southern merary group that's been rumored everywhere tely? Falling in love with her employer aling down in the ter? Isn't that a pretty romantic story?"

  "I wonder how that woman ended up falling for a barbarian. No matter how beautiful she is, she's just a oner born with lowly ins."

  "Oh my... Look at all those people following behind. Are they all brothers? How the culture of the southerners be so bad..."

  I was able to at least keep up appearances, but my subordinates were still wearing their uniquely bizarre outfits, so they all looked at the group and made their own remarks.

  The veins oemples of some of the people were rising at the arbitrary evaluation that was almost insulting.

  Everyone, since we're almost here, I wish you'd be a little more patient. All of this would be over in a few hours at most.

  I walked slowly to the ballroom in the ter of the hall with the vice-captain.

  "That bearskin cloak, is it made from game you've caught yourself?"

  "All these people are brothers... Is it metaphorical, or are they all really reted by blood?"

  "Do all flicts in the South really end with duels?"

  The subordinates who followed behind were being held back by the loudmouths and were being harassed by tless requests for attention.

  —?? ? ?

  As the party gradually became aced to the atmosphere of the ba hall, a simple waltz began to flow out and the men and women began to dance.

  First, I had to adapt to the atmosphere of this ba hall.

  It was necessary to attract the t's i aer the private room filled with key figures.

  I grabbed the vice-captain's hand and ed my arms around her waist, and began to squirm slightly.

  "Well, the Huudae seems pusible. But the dang skills are really bad."

  "A oner and a barbariaogether, so it's only natural that they ck dignity."

  The reas of those around them were as expected.

  Not only were their dang skills really bad, but the height difference was so great that it just didn't look good.

  I was barely holding back the urge to turhing upside dht away, but the vice-captain seemed surprisingly quite pleased with the current situation.

  "This is making me feel pretty good. Uh, don't you feel the same way…?"

  "Hmm. If you like it, I like it too."

  But.

  —Churup, churp…

  Was a ball inally such a pce for such depraved sexual desire?

  When a slow, sticky melody started flowing out in the middle of the waltz, the men and women who were dang normally suddenly got entangled in each other, hugged each htly, and began sug and sug each other hard.

  Among the many lovers, only we were looking at each other and trembling, so naturally, the suspicious gazes of those around us gathered.

  "Hmm, a southern savage decided to settle down in a strange nd because of a woman. Why do they look so awkward?"

  "They should be in a retionship where they 't live without each other. It's a little suspicious. Are we a fake couple?"

  I didn't expect this to happen. It was definitely a crisis.

  "Uh, uh..."

  In the end, Vice-Chief Agnes closed her eyes with an expression that didn't suit her and stuck her lips out to me.

  I didn't want to share my first kiss with the Vice-Chief in a pce like this with my full sciousness.

  So instead, I just rubbed her stuck lips against my chest and roughly kneaded her breasts instead.

  As expected, the sensation was great, befitting its enormous size.

  "Huh... Gyaaak?! Hey, honey?" "Hold on, ma'am. Isn't this more exg?"

  —hee!

  "Hey, it's hot?" "Yes! That's right! I believed you, barbarian leader!"

  At the extremely barbaric act, the surrounding gazes were instantly filled with favor a.

  There was no longer any suspi about our retionship.

  As the waltz somehow ended, a man who had been watg us carefully approached us.

  "e this way. t Fersen would like to meet you in person."

  The ordinary ba where anyone could atte, drink, and chat was taking p the grand ba hall over there, but I heard that the leaders of the ties and members of Eclipse were gathered separately in a separate room.

  "Here it is. One piece of advice: Don't be surprised no matter what happens. Then…"

  The man who resumed to be the butler who guided us to the private room quietly left after leaving a meaningful remark.

  —Squeak!

  When the private room door opened, a terrible stench wafted out from inside.

  It was the smell s, or something equally bad. I couldn't help but frown.

  "It smells terrible."

  "Ugh, what kind of air is that…"

  The private room was rger than I had thought.

  At a long table, several people wearing dark robes and the vassals of the t's estate were sitting side by side, and at the head table, t Fersen was staring bnkly into space.

  Uhe handsome appearance I had seen in portraits, his sharp eyes and boures were extremely unfamiliar.

  "You must be the savage who's been rumored around the castle. o meet you."

  "o meet you too, t. Your beard is also very nice."

  "Huh! The way you speak is... well, I uand that much due to cultural differences. Anyway, thank you for the pliment. Sit down."

  Is this finally the beginning?

  The real story was about to begin. There shouldn't be any mistakes.

  I shook my head as if nothing had happened and looked around.

  Even though I only looked around briefly, I could easily tell that there were enemies everywhere.

  Then there was o hesitate.

  "But the air here is very dirty."

  —Kwaang!

  As pnned, I immediately swung my fist and blew away all the unpleasant groups wearing pitch-bck clothes in one blow.
