Zadou, catch Hisui"
Princess Doris grasps my sleeves while wailing.
"Princess, even if it's the viscount, catching a bird flying in the sky is impossible."
"No! Bizuii"
Then a new visitor shows up.
"What's wrong, Doris. Did Hisui escape?"
"Soltrick-niisama, please catch Hisui."
The one that appeared is the 32 year-old first prince of Shiga Kingdom.
He's the older brother of Princess Shistina from the same mother.
"Sure thing. You guys, catch the bird with some nets. Take a skilled wind magician with you too."
The prince ordered one of his aide, making an arrangement to catch Hisui.
Unlike the third prince Sharlick who looked like a playboy, the first prince looks like a honest military man. I wonder if it's because of his powerful eyebrows?
He looks around wonderingly at the room that's been wasted by the monster-sified Hisui.
"Tina. What on earth happened to this room?"
"Nii-sama, actually a monster had appeared in this room."
Princess Shistina plainly replied the prince's question.
As it is now, Hisui who's been saved will be killed.
Princess Shistina probably realizes that too.
She hurriedly tries to change the story's direction.
"H-however! With Viscount Pendragon's effort, the monster has been suppressed and disappeared like a mist."
--Forced! That's too forced, Princess Shistina!
"The defeated monster disappeared like a mist?"
The prince turns to me with suspicious eyes.
I know. I know that feel well.
Can't be helped, I'll ask Deception skill-sensei to do the work again.
"Please allow me to explain. I think it was most likely a monster with mist body called 『Mirage』. 『Mirage』 can read people's minds and change its shape. It probably changed into Princess Doris's loved bird since that would make us hesitant to strike it."
"Hmph, ridiculous."
Oh, the prince is tough.
"Even if you're telling the truth, there is no monster that can pass through the Ancient King-sama's barrier protecting the royal castle."
"Your highness, red rope pattern was emerging from the monster."
I dropped another information to the prince who was denying.
"What! Was it an advance party of greater demons!"
"It wouldn't be strange for red ropes that could appear anywhere to appear here!"
"Impossible.... So the red ropes haven't disappeared with the defeat of the greater demon."
"Then, does that mean something like that will happen again."
The ones who reacted weren't only the prince, his aides too.
"Quiet, fools. My sisters are worried."
As expected of the next king, he has the nerves of steel.
The prince jerks his chin, urging me to continue.
