In fact, when the Alam village not far from the mansion castle was attacked by the followers of the Witch Cult, when the two twin maid sisters Rem and Ram were preparing to summon the god of nightmares in the bottle, Sensu When Monzos went to fight against the villains who raided the village, a large group of Witch Cult followers appeared outside the courtyard wall of the mansion and castle almost at the same time and surrounded it.
Yes, they obviously planned in advance and launched a raid on the lord's mansion and Alam Village at almost the same time. As for the real purpose of their attack here in the territory, the people in the mansion still don't know until now.
Of course, it's also possible that you don't want to know at all?
Just like...
A certain annoying little girl sitting on the sofa right now, dozing off one after another?
"..."
?(?′0`?)?Aaah~!
"..."
(っ?-?)
Annie felt a little sleepy and rubbed her eyes that were almost unable to open.
After all, it was already late at night, but there was no way she could go back to sleep for the time being. Emilia was still pulling her to stay in the living room on standby... Those hateful villains had no time to come, but they chose to do it here. It was time to cause trouble, and she was outside right now, so even if she wanted to secretly lie down on the sofa and take a nap, it would be impossible.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
While Anne was nodding her head vigorously and dozing off, two guys were standing in front of the window very energetically, secretly opening a corner of the curtain and observing the outside.
"Betty..."
"Those people, who are they?"
"It doesn't seem like they were sent by the kingdom, but what do they want to do when they attack us? I don't remember any of us who have offended them. Who could it be?"
Emilia and Betty stood side by side in front of the living room window with the curtains drawn. Since there were no candles or other lighting tools in the living room, they followed the hazy moonlight shining through the white mist in the sky outside. He could still vaguely see the strange group of intruders who were uniformly dressed in dark red burqas and wrapped tightly, standing silently outside the courtyard wall of the mansion without saying a word.
"Betty doesn't know!"
"but……"
"Betty thinks they might have been taught by witches."
Standing next to Emilia, she first glanced at the enemies at the wall of the courtyard outside, and then looked at Emilia, who was frowning. Betty thought about it for a while, but didn't say anything more, just crossed her arms. , half drooping his eyelids, curling his lips somewhat boredly.
"!!"
"Witch Cult?"
"But why did the Witch Cult attack us? Are they really coming for Anne?"
"Is that so?"
Emilia thought for a while and subconsciously thought that this must be the result of Anne making a big fuss in the throne room of the palace that day.
And the reason why the outside world is not the kingdom's army or knights is that the kingdom's Sage Association or the nobles do not dare to blatantly retaliate, so they entrust those terrifying weirdos from outside to come?
Presumably, it must be like that, right?
"No! Probably not."
"The Witch Cult, Emilia, you should have heard of it. It is a sect that is believed to worship the [Jealous Witch]. It was founded about 400 years ago. They often use any means to achieve their goals, and can even take away innocent people at will. He often caused a large number of civilian casualties in the kingdom, so he has long been considered a symbol of evil by the Lugnica Kingdom and has been the target of constant attacks and suppression."
"Their existence is completely opposite to the Kingdom of Lugnika. It is impossible for them to help the Kingdom do things, and they will not be hired for things like money. Therefore, Emilia, what you just assumed It’s impossible to establish.”
Betty, who was crossing her arms, said something disdainful and arrogant, directly and rudely refuting Emilia's statement.
"Is that so?"
"so……"
"Aren't they here for Annie?"
"But……"
"If they are not here for Anne, then who are they here for? Why do they suddenly attack our border territory?"
After barely ruling out the suspicion between the other party and some high-level officials in the kingdom, Emilia couldn't help but become more confused, because she couldn't remember when any of them suddenly provoked those terrible guys. There should be no intersection or conflict with the other party before this.
"snort!"
"Who are you coming for? Emilia, don't you have any clues at all?"
Seeing that the enemies outside seemed to be waiting for something and had no intention of attacking immediately, Betty, who felt that there was nothing to see, finally turned around and walked towards the corridor outside the hall door without even looking. He asked Emilia in return.
"clue?"
"But!"
"Betty, why do I know?!"
After hearing Betty's words, Emilia felt a little confused.
"etc!"
"Betty..."
"W-where are you going?"
"They are about to attack, won't you come to help?"
It's night now, Emilia's elf Parker can't come out to help, and Ram and Rem have gone to the village to help defend. Therefore, at the moment, only myself, Annie and Betty are the only three people with fighting ability in the castle mansion. That's all, in this situation of severe shortage of manpower, Emilia certainly hopes that Betty can stay and help.
After all, Emilia knows that Betty is a great elf like Parker, a powerful being that can rival Roswaal L. Merzas, and can perfectly master all Yin magic, including the long-lost Yin magic. , is known as the "extreme of Yin magic", and can also perform most powerful magics such as space transfer, time freezing, space rupture, existence fixation, etc., maybe even stronger than herself?
"help?"
Betty was stunned for a moment, stopped, and then subconsciously turned her head to glance at a little girl on the sofa who was nodding and dozing off, not caring about the incoming enemies outside at all.
"snort!"
"It's unnecessary for Betty to stay here, it's enough to let her take action!"
"Even the elite generals of the Knights of the Kingdom of Lugnica were brought down by her with one finger. Do you think the Witch Cult members outside are more powerful than the Knights of the Kingdom?"
"Anyway!"
"I'm going back to the library first. Don't let me know when the trouble is solved!"
With that said, Betty, who signaled Emilia to go find some bad little girl to solve any problems, proudly raised her chin, strode out of the hall and walked away.
She is not worried about the people from the Witch Cult outside. Even if they invade the castle and destroy it, it will be fine, because Betty knows that as long as she enters the Forbidden Book Library, as long as she does not want people to find her, her ' The non-existent room was enough for her to protect herself at any time and isolate herself from any degree of danger.
Of course, except for a certain bad little girl?
Anyway, Betty already knew during this period that the spatial properties of her forbidden book library were completely ineffective against the little girl who was dozing on the sofa. During this period, she was hiding very awkwardly and was almost caught several times. The other party was blocked in the library.
"You mean Annie?"
"All right……"
Seeing that Betty had left the hall and disappeared into the corridor, Emilia had no choice but to sigh and walk towards the sofa.
Now the enemy is ready and may attack the mansion and castle at any time. Therefore, she must let that lazy little guy and the lord of that territory take on his own responsibilities and kill the invading evil witch cult as soon as possible. The disciples must be eliminated or driven away.
…
Outside the walls of the mansion, the Witch Cult followers have remained silent. They have been standing outside and silently staring at the mansion and castle.
but……
When that strange man with short dark green hair, a small round hat, a thin figure, and eyes full of ferocious and funny weirdness, with his head tilted and his waist bent, finally started to stir, it seemed. It's time to start taking action.
At this moment, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a red skirt and carrying a ferocious stuffed toy bear in her hand, who looked cute and cute but had a somewhat fierce expression, suddenly appeared above the mansion and castle. In the air, he was also holding a ball of fire in his hand, which directly frightened the Witch Cult followers who were preparing to attack.
"Hello!"
(?????)
"Who are you? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and come to my house to cause trouble?!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Seeing that those people stopped again and had no intention of climbing over the wall and entering the yard, Anne yelled at them and asked them fiercely.
"Ah! That's right!"
Seeing Anne appear, the weirdo first grinned and tilted his head and looked at Anne, who was floating above the mansion and castle for a while, and then introduced himself loudly:
"I actually forgot to say hello to the owner here first..."
"little girl……"
"I am the Sin Priest of the Witch Cult, Pettychius Romanee-Conti, the Sin Priest of Sloth, and now I am the Sin Archbishop of Sloth in the Witch Cult!"
Although the weirdo was respectfully saluting Little Annie in the sky and introducing himself, it can be seen from his expression, crazy eyes and contrived movements that he did not let Little Annie go too far. In the heart.
"oh!"
(⊙?⊙)
"do not know!"
(??ヮ??)?
Anne didn't know the other person, nor did she want to know him, because the other person's name was too long and she didn't want to remember it!
More importantly, compared to the other person's name, what she wants to know now is something else, and that is:
"I said, you bad guys, haven't you seen the wooden sign they put at the intersection?"
s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ
While asking questions, Annie suddenly felt a little strange. She couldn't understand that in this world, there were actually people who were not afraid of her burning. They dared to break in even though they knew that she had given a warning in advance. And this is the time when you want to sleep?
Or……
Do they think that what she wrote on the wooden board for the twin maids Ram and Rem to take and announce was really just words?
"Wooden sign?"
"ah!"
"You...know our plan and that we are coming here?"
Hearing Anne's words, he tilted his head, and the weirdo who called himself Petichius Romanee-Conti and the Archbishop of Sins of the Witch Cult, the Archbishop of Sloth, couldn't help but ask with his eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course!"
(?╭╮?)
"Otherwise, what is the purpose of writing that wooden sign?"
o(*｀ー′)o
Anne looked at that ugly and funny guy like a fool. She didn't like him. She could smell his stench even from a long distance away!
"!!"
"You knew in advance that we were coming and didn't make any preparations. You really, really, really..."
"Sloth!"
Pettigius Romanee-Conti was a little hysterical, and even bit his own fingers as if he was committing suicide, until the blood dripped from his mouth.
"..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
Anne ignored the other party and just looked at him with disgusted eyes as he continued to perform what she considered to be an extremely funny and chilling performance.
"I'm sleepy now!"
(?~?)
"so……"
(￢д￢.)
"If you leave on your own now, they can pretend that nothing has happened and they won't burn you yet!"
?(???c)
Yes, now Annie just wants to go back to sleep peacefully, and doesn't really want to burn anyone, but if she thinks about it tomorrow, that may not be the case.
"oh?"
"You can still say something like this when you see the enemy coming to your door. You are indeed lazy enough!"
"but……"
"I reject!"
If he could be persuaded to retreat with a few words, Pettigius Romanee-Conti would not have kicked over the wooden sign before.
"superior!"
"Perform the great trial!"
"Kill them all!"
Therefore, after introducing himself and learning about the little girl's laziness, he suddenly opened his hands and issued orders to his subordinates with a grin.
"..."
(ー`′ー)
Anne frowned when she saw those weirdos suddenly started to move and silently accelerated towards the wall of her castle courtyard, jumping high as if they were ready to leap in and launch an attack.
"This is my own house, I won't let you come in and destroy it!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Although Annie is still a little sleepy now, no matter how sleepy she is, she still won't let these bad guys come to her house to do whatever they want! You know, once those guys destroy the beautiful big house that she bought with great difficulty, she might do something terrible!
So, before the bad guys jumped in and landed, she lightly hooked her fingers.
The next moment!
The originally unremarkable courtyard walls suddenly rose up into the air and formed a huge wall of fire surrounding the residence. The Witch Cult members who were about to climb in were instantly engulfed inside by the tongues of flames reaching into the sky.
"!!"
"Ahhhh!!"
"No!!!"
"Oh wow~!!"
'Uh ah ah...'
"..."
After the bursts of screams, except for those Witch Cult believers who stopped in time and narrowly stopped in front of the blazing wall of fire and gasped at the terrifying wall of fire, those who jumped up or were about to climb over All the walls were burned to ashes without exception!
Those unlucky ones disappeared between the world and the world almost instantly at the same time as they screamed in agony.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The scene was completely silent, and more than half of the casualties were lost in an instant. The remaining Witch Cult members, who had less than a few hundred followers, could only look at each other in confusion. No one dared to take a step forward.
A second ago, there were thousands of them, but now...
In the end, they still had to look at their leader, at Petichius Romanee-Conti, who was also a little surprised, and at the lazy and responsible Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, with questioning and frightened eyes.
"Jie~!"
"You are so lazy..."
"There is fire at the wall, but isn't there at the gate?"
"Come in from there!!"
Although he didn’t know what kind of magic that hateful little girl used, Pettygeus Romanee-Conti believed that it must be caused by the castle’s enchantment. That little girl definitely didn’t really have that kind of magic. The ability to instantly turn the courtyard wall into a terrifying wall of fire!
Therefore, thinking that he could save the situation as long as he rushed in, he used his bitten and bloody fingers to point frantically at the arched courtyard door that was also burning, but the door was open and surrounded by flames. .
"!!"
"Come in!"
"Kill!"
"Ouch~!!"
"Kill them all!!"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the followers of the Witch Cult are like that too?
Therefore, when they saw the gate, they felt that the heat wave there must be amazing, but when they thought about it, as long as they avoided the terrifying wall and rushed in through the gate, they would be fine and there was no way they would be burned to death.
then……
Hundreds of believers rushed to the gate of the courtyard and rushed in.
but!
Before they even got close to the castle, they quickly discovered to their despair:
The grass in front of the beautiful white wooden gate of the castle suddenly burst into flames. Then, the flames even burned the earth into a huge pool of magma. Then, the terrifying red magma began to roll and bubble. , a pair of huge arms stretched out, and then, a huge magma giant slowly stood up from it.
Its whole body is composed of dark red and bright white magma and is burning with flames. It is like a monster in doomsday legends. With just one kick and a flame trample, at least the area around the landing point of that terrifying big foot will be destroyed. The hundreds of believers who rushed the fastest were instantly shattered and burned into balls of coke.
"..."
"!!"
"Weird, monster!!"
"Run quickly!!"
"Help……"
"Whaaaah~!!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Uh~!"
Looking at the terrifying flame monster, which was at least ten meters tall and with thighs as thick as several people hugging each other, and then looking at the other person who stepped on it and actually lifted another leg, the Witch Cult followers could no longer hold on. Unable to hold on, he collapsed and howled, turned around and ran away desperately, trying to escape through the heat-wave-stricken door.
"laugh!"
(????-)?
"Don't leave once you're here. Since they said on the wooden sign that they will burn the invading enemies, they will definitely burn you!"
?(*?)?
As Annie's charming chuckle rang out, the originally open courtyard door was suddenly sealed by the fire, completely cutting off the escape route for the Witch Cult followers.
Then……
"The mountains..."
"Get moving!!"
The lava giant she created with magma began to chase and trample the terrified Witch Cult members in the courtyard, who could only scream and howl and run for their lives.
"Aha!"
Hahaha??(???*)
"You deserve it! Do you think I just said it casually?"
(?′?`)?~
Anne slowly descended from the air and sat on the roof tiles of her own castle.
She knows better than anyone else that only one threatening word is enough, and if someone dares to commit a crime after saying it, it must be done. No matter what, the other party must be burned. Burn it, burn it all!
And it’s the kind that just burns when told, never compromises, and no one can persuade it is useless!
Only then will the deterrence be enough!
Otherwise, if you only talk empty words and make useless threats and warnings, even if you say them a thousand or ten thousand times to no avail, you will only be looked down upon by others. Let others think that you are a weak object who can be bullied and manipulated at will.
"..."
With eyes wide open, the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Sloth, watched everything happening in the courtyard through the wall of fire. He saw that the thousands of subordinates he had brought with him were all gone in less than three minutes. Listen. There were fewer and fewer screams and screams in the courtyard. Looking at the huge and terrifying flame monster, he knew that those lazy guys were definitely not far away from being annihilated.
so……
"Damn, damn, damn, damn..."
"Damn, damn, damn..."
Although he was cursing crazily and ferociously, and constantly mutilating his own fingers, after knowing that he seemed to have provoked some kind of being that he couldn't afford, he made a quick decision and turned around and quickly walked into the forest. Fly away.
That’s right, it’s flying!
Moreover, is it still the kind of person who hugs himself with invisible hands, curls up into a ball, bites his fingers, and flies to the ground with his eyes wide open?
"Run away now?"
(???.???)????
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Of course Anne saw the enemy's leader, the guy who was the "sluggard in charge of the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult" running away.
However, after thinking about it, she didn't mind because...
"Ahhhh!!!"
"What kind of monsters are you!"
boom!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
boom!
boom! boom! !
"Uhhhhh!!!"
Soon, bursts of exclamations and howls came from the 'Sluggard, the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult'. Of course, the violent impacts and explosions during various battles were also indispensable.
Obviously, he must have met some powerful and numerous guys.
…
That night, the sounds of fierce fighting in the woods near the Hastur Territory Mansion lasted for several minutes, but when the two sisters Ram and Rem ran back from the village panting quickly, the sounds suddenly stopped. Stop, just stop.
What caught their eyes was the burning circle of the courtyard wall and the terrifying lava giant who seemed to be an ally standing in the courtyard like a towering mountain, trampling and tossing the courtyard with its beautiful lawn into a mess. That’s all.
As for the enemy...
The main force of Witch Cult believers who were supposed to be attacking the mansion said that they had not seen any of them, not even a corpse!
"Sister, what's going on here?"
"have no idea......."
"Was that flame giant summoned by the master?"
"should be......."
"It seems like he's even more powerful than Mr. Nzos?"
"Um......"
