A sense of crisis suddenly shot through his spine, and the sentry immediately reached out to blow the siren hanging around his neck...

The next moment, a knife was stuck in the sentry's neck.

The sentry company was unable to even utter a cry, and their consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

Next to the sentry holding the siren, his partner was stabbed in the neck and died. At the same time, the torch was blown out, and the two were dragged into the shadow of the building.

The same killings are now happening all over the imperial city.

Many soldiers at various outposts had their heads and bodies torn apart, and the soldiers sleeping in the barracks were also given a sleeping drug specially made by Shuhai, which made them fall into a deep sleep that was incomparable to normal sleep.

Even if the alarm sounds, they will sleep through the night to fully eliminate their usual fatigue.

There is a slender moon hanging high in the sky tonight.

Also known as the "two-day moon," this is a nearly invisible crescent that rises the day after the new moon.

Its shape resembles a devil's smile, as if mocking this comedy under the moon.

Those who believe in the supremacy of strength will be trampled upon by those whom they despise as the weakest opponents.

The banquet venue in the imperial city is magnificent.

The dinner was held in buffet style, with hundreds of exquisite dishes and desserts placed on the table covered with pure white tablecloths.

The decoration and furniture are also very gorgeous, which attracts the attention.

——HQ, this is A, H4 suppression completed.

——HQ, this is B, all J locations have been suppressed.

——HQ, this is C, we have completed distributing sleeping pills to all soldiers' quarters.

——HQ, this is E. We have captured two princes, two grandsons, and two princesses.

In the magnificent banquet hall, Hajime wore a cheerful smile that was not usually seen on his face, and dealt with the imperial nobles who came to chat with him.

During that period, the earring-shaped communication artifact worn on his ear continuously transmitted explosive intelligence, but Hajime remained completely calm.

Besides Hajime, the "brave group" was also the focus of attention, and the imperial nobles frequently approached them to talk in order to get to know them.

After all, they are both "Apostles of God" and "The Brave Crew." They are generally considered powerful, their unstoppable progress constantly updating the cleared floors of the "Orcus Great Labyrinth." In the eyes of the Imperial nobility, who prioritize "strength," the "Brave Crew" must be a highly intriguing presence. Of course, the nobles also have their own selfish desires, hoping to cultivate personal connections with them.

However, the people who spoke to Hajime had other evil intentions.

The purpose is obvious.

Of course, it was the beautiful women who had been by Hajime's side since the beginning of the party.

Even when they were talking to Shi, their eyes were still frequently stealing glances at Yue and the others behind them, so it was completely obvious.

But it’s not their fault.

At the dinner to welcome Liliana and celebrate her engagement, the presence of Yue and the others was more than just the icing on the cake; it was as if they were the protagonists, exuding a strong sense of presence.

"Oh~~ There's a place like this in the world! I can't even imagine it in the sea of ​​trees."

Xia was stunned by the luxury of the venue. She wore a light blue dress and showed off her long, beautiful legs without any hesitation.

However, her dress was by no means vulgar. The fluttering skirt made Xia look even more adorable, as she rarely looked pitiful.

Her beautiful hair, which usually hangs down straight, is now braided and hangs down in front, which makes her look more dignified and lovely.

"The food and wine are both first-rate. It would be a shame not to enjoy them now."

Tio, standing beside her, sipped the wine gracefully, wearing a long black dress, the same color as her usual kimono.

However, because it was a dress that highlighted her body curves, the ups and downs of her body were even more clearly visible. In addition, the back and chest were wide open, and her plump breasts seemed to be about to be exposed.

Every time her breasts swayed, the men in the venue would be attracted by the shaking weapons, which led to complaints from her female companions.

"Wow, we're getting a lot of attention."

Kaori's cheeks flushed with shyness, and she was wearing a long straight dress that completely exposed her shoulders.

While the curves weren't as dramatic as Tio's, the balance was truly divine. The high slits of her skirt, like a cheongsam, revealed her beautiful legs with the slightest movement. Her silver hair, coiled high, shone brilliantly, and her voluptuous neck captivated the eye.

"……Um."

And Hajime's true love, the vampire princess he loves the most, is wearing a pure white bridal gown (similar to that).

The dress is made of lustrous material, showing off her shoulders slightly, and the hem of the skirt gradually widens outwards. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and she wears a hair ornament that symbolizes the noble white flower.

Although minimally exposed, her snow-white neck, lips painted with eye-catching bright red lipstick, and slightly moist affectionate eyes all arouse men's desire.

As always, the contrast between her childish appearance and her alluring aura increased Yue's charm dozens of times.

The moment all the women finished changing and entered the room, Hajime, Kouki, Ryuutarou and the other three were completely frozen by the impact of their charm, and it was not their fault.

Especially since Hajime's eyes were fixed on Yue, anyone who saw him could tell that he was deeply mesmerized; Yue also noticed it and smiled happily, his eyes fixed on Hajime.

Shia and the others were about to complain about Hajime's single-minded focus, but Hajime took action first. Without a word, he embraced Yue and kissed her directly with tongue, which made everyone freeze in a different sense.

Afterwards, since Hajime and Yue refused to separate, everyone had to come together and forcibly separate them. This is what is known as the "Hajime's complete loss of rationality incident"...

All in all, Yue and the others are so charming that it makes you want to complain, "Do you understand whose engagement party this is?"

Therefore, one cannot blame the imperial nobles for rushing to surround him, but in front of Hajime's iron wall, they could only smile on the surface and grit their teeth in secret.

Incidentally, Shizuku and Suzu also attended in their finest attire, their attire no less gorgeous than that of the Empire's daughters...

However, Yue and the others' driving force was to win Hajime's favor, and the other two who didn't have such strong motivations were not as active as them, so they were more low-key and not so eye-catching in comparison.

Because Shizuku handled all the situations well, unlike the radiant light that was surrounded by the daughters of the imperial aristocracy and could not be seen, she could be left alone without worry.

In addition, Ryutaro kept shouting "delicious" while enjoying the delicious food, and Ling kept admonishing him, "Ryutaro-san! This is too embarrassing!" Although Lin tried to stop Ryutaro, he did not miss the delicious cake. It can be said that the two of them are of the same mind.

"Come to think of it, Nagumo-san's female companions are all truly beautiful women."

"Yes, please let them dance with me at the party later."

"If there's a chance."

——HQ, this is D, all locations have been bombed.

——HQ, this is I, location M has been suppressed.

Seeing Hajime's meaningful smile, the imperial nobles tilted their heads in confusion.

However, before they could ask, a commotion erupted at the venue's entrance. It looked like the main characters, Princess Liliana and His Highness Bias, were entering. A man dressed as a civil servant loudly introduced them.

Liliana emerged from the open doorway.

Seeing her figure, people in the venue were confused and surprised.

Princess Liliana wore a pitch-black dress.

Considering Liliana's appearance and the theme of the party, which was to welcome and congratulate her engagement, she should have worn a brighter dress.

Combined with Liliana's expression of "attending is just an obligation", the black dress was like a wall she had erected.

Bias, their partner, also had a bitter expression on his face. The two of them didn't look like they were about to become a couple.

Originally, Bias's lovers were planning to glare at Liliana as soon as she entered the scene, but the unexpected thing happened at the beginning, leaving them stunned and not knowing what to do.

Everyone in the venue applauded to welcome the two, but the atmosphere was very subtle.

The two walked directly onto the stage.

Despite his confusion, the man serving as master of ceremonies kept the party going.

When greeting Gaharud, he saw how Liliana and Bias were getting along and looked like he wanted to laugh. After the greetings, music started playing in the venue, and it was time for Liliana and Bias to greet the guests and dance.

Beautiful music filled the venue, as if to dispel the awkward atmosphere.

In the center of the venue, the men danced with their female companions. Liliana and Bias also danced, but it felt mechanical, largely due to Liliana's expression and attitude. Even when Bias forcefully hugged her and danced to the rhythm, a subtle distance between them remained unnoticed.

As soon as the song ended, Liliana went to meet the guests.

Bias looked unhappy, but greeting guests was a necessary courtesy, so he had no choice but to follow Liliana, and seemed quite concerned about his crotch. In fact, Bias had just woken up, but since he woke up, for some reason, he had not felt the little brother under his crotch.

Even though he wanted to question Liliana about what was going on, she threatened to treat his brother (or, more accurately, introduce him to someone who could treat him), so Bias had no choice but to obey. He felt anxious and angry about this situation.

The reason, of course, is the Metal Spider's final stab, which kills in the crotch without shattering it.

——HQ, this is R, the P location has been suppressed.

——HQ, this is T, R suppression is complete.

"How should I put it? This is so unlike Lily. Normally, she wouldn't show her inner thoughts..."

Seeing that Liliana had no smile on her face and greeted the guests indifferently, Kaori said this.

"Since something like that happened, the princess would naturally feel unhappy."

“…Something like that?”

Hearing what Hajime said, Yue tilted her head and looked at Hajime.

"Nagumo-san, what did you do to Lily?"

"Hey, Yaegashi, what do you mean by that?"

Shizuku, who was wearing a burgundy long dress, looked at Hajime with suspicion.

"Lily actually displayed that kind of attitude in public... According to our experience so far, whenever something goes against common sense, it's usually Nagumo-san's fault, right? Actually, you seem to know something."

"Tsk, you're picking something I can't argue with. But, I really didn't do anything this time. I just happened to be passing by when the princess was nearly raped by the crown prince, so I came to her rescue."

"I see, Lily was raped... What did you say?"

"Wait, Hajime-kun!? What did you just say!?"

Led by Shizuku and Kaori, everyone looked at Hajime in astonishment.

Ever since they started dancing, men kept coming to ask Yue and other women out, but they were all driven away by Hajime's "intimidation," so the only ones around were Yue and Shizuku.

Kouki was half-forced into dancing by the ladies, desperately trying to figure out a dance she wasn't used to, while Ryuutarou was still trying to eat. Ling, on the other hand, was taken away by a handsome old man and passively followed suit.

Therefore, the only people who heard about Liliana being nearly raped by Byars were Yue and the others. Even though there were no one else, Kaori and Shizuku grabbed Hajime's collar and demanded an explanation, attracting the attention of the others.

"Ah~ um, so... Yue, would you like to dance with me?"

"Hmm... I'd be happy to."

"Ah, wait, Nagumo-san! Don't run away just because you're in trouble! Explain it to me clearly!"

"Right, that's right! This is a serious matter! You need to explain it clearly!"

As Shizuku had said, Hajime felt it was too much trouble to explain, so he took Yue's hand and fled to the dance floor. Yue was as beautiful as a work of art, in a sense even more eye-catching than the protagonist, Liliana. Her dance partner was a white-haired boy with an eyepatch (in a tuxedo), and the two of them instantly became the focus of attention.

Yue was originally from the royal family and was no stranger to dancing. Hajime, under her guidance, even resorted to using his "Instant Light" to dance. Since he had been observing others dancing earlier, he was able to follow suit.

"Is it fun? Yue?"

"……Um."

Yue's expression was both joyful and happy, and Shi had a smile in the corner of his eyes. With their outfits as a backdrop, in the eyes of others, this was completely their wedding banquet.

The atmosphere was tense earlier, and the performers were anxious to liven things up. However, now, inspired by Hajime and Yue's enthusiasm, they began to play joyfully.

The stars of the show were now Hajime and Yue, and everyone was watching them spinning happily.

Liliana looked at them with a smile on her face, and there seemed to be a hint of envy in her eyes.

On the other hand, the women who admired Hajime put aside what was about to happen and Liliana's incident for the time being and competed fiercely for who would be the next person to dance with Hajime.

Soon after the performance ended, the two smiled and kissed softly. The imperial nobles gave them thunderous applause, their eyes pure admiration. The imperial daughters also exhaled warmly, watching with ecstasy.

To the audience’s thunderous applause, Hajime and Yue gracefully returned the greeting and returned to their companions hand in hand.

The victorious Tio stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and quietly extended her hand to Hajime. However, if she could successfully become the heroine, she would no longer be Tio.

"Mr. Nanyun Hajime, would you please dance with me?"

Sure enough, someone intervened at the perfect moment.

The person who spoke to Hajime was Liliana.

"Princess... why are you, the protagonist, leaving your partner and suddenly asking me to dance?"

"Ah, isn't it a bit too much for someone who's taking over the show to say something like that?"

"That's because you look like you're working, right? So, can you just leave the Crown Prince alone?"

"Now that we've greeted most of the guests, it's time to enjoy dinner. And there were a few songs we were supposed to dance with others. Look, His Highness Bias is dancing with one of his lovers."

"My dear... you really don't take it seriously."
