Chapter 67 – You Can Come In, but Not When You Leave (5)
***
“Nonsense… “
Queen Isabella was stunned and was speechless.
Fishmen were pouring out of the portal.
“Let’s show the power of our fish people!”
“Here, wipe out all the guys who don’t have the royal crest on their chests!”
“Kyahoooooh!”
The fishmen jumped off the ledge and ran straight to the enemy.
The rebels, who were preparing for a siege, were greatly taken aback when they saw the alien species popping out of nowhere.
“W-what is that?!”
“Aww, it’s a monster! Wizard! Wizard!”
“Get in line! Stay in line!”
Kwak Kwak!
Powwow!
Chou Shu Shu!
Some fish people vomited water from their mouths.
As a result, floods broke out everywhere, and the fishmen were excitedly fighting on the wet floor.
Along with that, the giant monster that Illar had captured to set up in the new dungeon also appeared.
The one-horned, one-eyed Cyclops scattered his menacing eyes and swung the blunt weapon in his hand at random.
“Hey man! Those guys are allies! Only attack those without the royal crest!”
“Kooooo.”
The Cyclops, mad at Ilar, scratched his head and attacked the rebels again.
Every time the blunt weapon was swung, screams erupted and blood gushed out in all directions.
“Amazing… “
“Amazing… “
The Queen and Sir Latimore were looking down blankly.
The fish-men’s massive counterattack reversed the momentum at once.
As the enemies began to be pushed back, the soldiers of the resistance also gained courage and were actively participating in the fight.
“I will go downstairs and take command. Maid Maid Marie, take care of Mama.”
“Yes, please go.”
Sir Latimore looked back at Naru as he left.
He smiled happily at him.
“You always surprise me.”
He patted him on the shoulder and disappeared.
Soon after, the queen muttered something to herself.
“I feel relieved. Cool.”
“Which one?”
“Look at that. The sight of them dying is beautiful.”
She looked at Naru with a feeling of joy.
“I like you because of this. You are the best.”
“… “
Naru just laughed bitterly.
It’s good to be happy, but in the midst of that, the queen’s cruel side seemed to be visible, so she didn’t want to respond.
Her pupils were like four hundred eyes that flashed with excitement at the slaughter unfolding in front of her eyes.
And then laughing
Naru was already used to seeing her queen like that, so she was insensitive.
“I’m going to go somewhere else for a while.”
“Where?”
“We have to stop them from continuing to enter the capital. There is a portal in the sanctuary to the north, south, east and west. I will destroy it.”
“Bye. I will look after the queen.”
Naru nodded her head towards Maid Maid, then turned to her queen.
“Stay out of here and get into a safe place.”
“Please come back. Got it? Don’t get hurt It is an order.”
“Yes.”
At the gentle voice of her queen, Naru smiled.
Summoning the warrior’s sword, Lancer, he stepped on the railing and jumped down.

“When are you coming… “
Downtown street.
Sophia was waiting for Naru with an impatient face.
Meanwhile, knights with unfamiliar sentences carved into their hearts were roaming the streets.
They did not pose a threat to the general public, but after questioning passers-by, they undoubtedly dragged them somewhere if they thought they were related to the royal family in the slightest.
She was afraid that she would talk to herself.
‘What will I answer if I talk to you?’
As she pondered an excuse, she remembered what had happened last night.
Last night, suddenly Naru came to her house.
“I have a place to go with me.”
“Where are you going?”
“There are a lot of places to go.”
Sophia, puzzled, followed him.
Naru said she visited several places and she told me to make sure to remember these points.
And if the royal capital is attacked unexpectedly, they promised to meet at the intersection in the downtown area.
So I came out… No news even after waiting for a long time.
“Peekaboo.”
“Oh!?”
Someone suddenly whispered in my ear, so I turned around in surprise and it was Naru.
Sophia stroked her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
“You were surprised.”
“Did you wait long?”
“I waited a long time.”
“I’m sorry. The road to get here is complicated.”
“There you go! Catch it!”
“Catch the hero!”
In the distance, a group of rebels rushed at them holding spears and swords.
Naru touched her forehead.
“Oh, I’ve been following you all this way.”
“Um, what’s going on?”
“They must hate me because I am a warrior close to the queen. I was caught right away because I was different from you in terms of hair color and appearance. What to do If I get caught, I will die.”
“Then, Naru-sama, kill me first!”
“Omg. Kill? People? Oh I can’t do that.”
“Why? Isn’t Naru-sama strong?”
“Today, for some reason, I don’t feel like killing myself.”
“Is there a rule that says that a hero must only kill monsters and demons?”
“Maybe?”
“Po, I’ll open the portal!”
“I’ll beat you with a scabbard. Hurry up, please!”
“Yes! Uh? You say you can’t live?”
“So you’re a fan!”
“Ah~ Anyway, I’ll open it!”
It was the moment Sophia hurriedly chanted her spell.
Suddenly, arrows rained down from above, piercing the helmets of the rebels and stabbing them.
“Gagging… !”
“Ugh… !”
Those who were running were knocked down in one fell swoop.
To take down as many as seven soldiers in an instant was an amazing skill, no matter who it was.
“There is something familiar about that person… “
Naru was looking up at the roof of the building.
A woman was seen holding a longbow in her hand.
Long silver hair blowing in the wind.
The red leather bikini armor that suffocates the voluptuous body with tanned skin.
Two elf-like ears.
Naru’s eyes widened as she recognized her.
“Xenia?”
She jumped under her.
“I can’t handle a single one of these guys, so I’m just fiddling around. I was sorry, so I helped.”
“How did you get here?”
“Do not laugh. Because I still hate you.”
“It’s nice to see you! Aren’t you happy?”
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t even want to say goodbye to my brother.”
A dark elf younger sister whom I haven’t met in a long time.
Xenia was quite blunt and cold.
She glanced at Sophia, then stared at Naru.
“What were you trying to do?”
“Ah! I have a place to go. Gotta go fast! Sophia, please open it!”
“Where are you?”
“It’s next to my new house.”
“Ah, there. Yes, I will open it.”
While Sophia chanted her incantation, Naru looked back at Xenia and raised the corner of her mouth.
“He has grown up a lot. When I was there, I was just shy.”
Xenia glared at him once and then turned her head away.
“Joy.”
***
Clink.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of breaking glass outside the door.
Alicia, who was brushing her hair in her room, put down her comb and went outside to look.
“What happened?”
The hallway was empty.
There was no sign of anything broken.
“What… “
She tilted her head and tried to close the door, but there was another sound of breaking glass.
This time it was downstairs.
“Where has everyone gone? Anybody there?”
It’s normal for maids to walk around the hallway, but they weren’t seen right now.
‘Is everyone busy?’
Sensing something strange about her, Alicia put on her overcoat and went out into the hallway.
She and she were just about to take the stairs leading downstairs.
I saw a maid coming up from under her.
She asked, relieved.
“It’s noisy. What’s going on?”
“Miss… “
Blood dripped from the lips of the maid as she looked up at her steps with a blank look on her face.
Looking closely, I could see the knife marks on her stomach.
Dump.
Alicia screamed at her as she fell.
“Kyaaaaah!”
At the same time, the windows in the hallway were shattered and the assassins broke in.
“Are you Alicia, the daughter of Duke Neville?”
“Looking at her appearance and outfit, it seems fitting. Catch it.”
Her assassins rushed at her in unison.
However, Alicia was not easily caught because of her well-trained body.
She hurriedly made her way downstairs, nimbly slipping through her assailants.
“Father! Mother!”
“Alicia!”
The situation downstairs was also not serious.
Her father, Duke Neville, was also injured with blood on his forehead.
He struggled to hold onto his sword, defending his mother and servants while confronting the assassins.
And blood spilled on the floor.
The knights of the family had already fallen and died.
Alicia was terrified.
“Who are these people!?”
“Looks like the Marquis of Wistent sent it. There is no chaos outside.”
Dada da da!
The number increased as even the assassins who had been chasing Alicia joined in.
There were ten people in total.
“Duke. If you put down your sword and follow me quietly, I will spare your life.”
“How can I believe you guys?”
“We have been ordered to restrain you and your family for a while. When this situation is over, he will be released without any harm.”
“Is this the order of the Marquis?”
“I will count to three. If you’re like me, you’ll think of your family’s safety first. Three. Two… “
“There is no way the Marquis will let me live.”
Duke Neville tightened the handle of the sword he was holding with both hands, catching his breath.
“Father… “
Alicia looked around her nervously.
If my father strikes the sword, who will I attack first?
Can I just avoid it?
What to do He doesn’t even have a sword in his hand.
Her head was confused.
“One.”
It was the time when the assassin continued to say, “It is over.”
A voice suddenly came from nearby.
“Ah~ we’re a step late.”
Everyone’s eyes turned towards it.
A man of hers and two women stood.
Among them, Alicia, who quickly recognized her man, blinked her eyes and muttered.
“… Assistant Professor Naru?”
The warrior Naru Kang.
His sudden appearance made the assassins very nervous.
“Is that Na-ru Kang, the queen’s closest aide?”
“Yes, how are you here!?”
“Damn it!”
The swords of the assassins all headed toward Naru.
Then Naru waved his hand as if to get rid of it.
“Arthur, Arthur. Then you die.”
[Suppress] Things that would make you shake in place without moving.
Naru brushed her hair leisurely.
“Put down all the knives. Except for the duke.”
