Guard A |
"The prisoners have escaped~!" |
Guard B |
"Capture them! Do not let them escape! Kill them if they resist!" |
Guard C |
"They are dangerous Phantom Mist minions, show them no mercy...!" |
Sicilia |
'――My. Our guards are very good, have they already noticed our escape?' |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"You look happy, but above all don't move! If we fall down, I can't go pick you up!" |
We were trying to break into the castle where she was being held captive to rescue our precious companion Palermo. |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Ugh, Ugah~! Uwuh~!" |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"Hurry, Messi! The guards will see you!" |
Catania climbed onto the castle balcony using her own power, and the vines extended with her unusual powers hung down like something out of a Rapunzel fairy tale. |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Ugh, don't rush me! I'm still trying with my whole life at the line on this~!" |
Messina, a medic with no climbing training, climbed up the vines tearily. She's also holding onto me and and the gelatinous Princess Sicilia. |
"Its, it's heavy...! Tough! Huff, I'm sweating!" |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Hyafu♪ Signore Conductor you're pervy! Please don't move, sì?" |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"Hmm? I don't know what you're doing, so I'll pull you up, sì?" |
Unable to continue seeing Messina writhing, Catania stretched and twined new vines and pulled us all together at the same time. |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Gra, grazie. That's very helpful, Nia." |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"Mhm~. Messi, always help me too, grazie anche♪" |
The guards are running around the town looking for us as we struggle to break into the castle. Some of them even rode hippogriffs and flew through the air. |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Woah... That's a hell of a spectacle. They seem to think we are terrible criminals." |
Sicilia |
'Sorry. It's my fault.' |
Sicilia |
'Phantom Mist, and anyone associated with it will be severely punished. That's what I decreed.' |
Sicilia |
'The threat of the Phantom Mist is growing by the day, so even this is but a drop in the ocean.' |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"I see what you mean:... My Artifact Asclepius and Signorina Nia's ability to manipulate plants must look like Phantom Mist's doing to people who don't know anything about it." |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"It would be unfamiliar to people in this time period and in this country." |
Sicilia |
'Don't get me wrong. We are not xenophobic people who reject any unfamiliar races.' |
Sicilia |
'Rather. Originally, we welcomed and accepted anyone from the outside. We have developed our alchemy, which is the basis of our country, by gaining new stimuli in this way.' |
Sicilia |
'However. Our national character has allowed the Nabulion to exploit it." |
Sicilia |
'In the beginning ―― He called himself an emissary from another country and acted as an organizer of those who came from outside.' |
Sicilia |
'In recognition of his achievements, the previous monarch gave him the status of a vassal of the Kingdom of Sitiria. It is our custom to reward merit accordingly.' |
Sicilia |
'However, having gained such power, he began to run amok.' |
Sicilia |
'He ruled the people with dubious power and squeezed everything out of them. And so he gradually took over the royal court, lining his own pockets.' |
Sicilia |
'Thus he became a political power that no one could resist, and eventually he even tried to control me, the monarch.' |
Sicilia |
'Barely sensing this, I escaped in this way――' |
Sicilia |
'You all have come to this timeline.' |
Sicilia |
'Perhaps Nabulion intends to make Palermo, who you say has the same face as me, into Principessa Sicilia.' |
Sicilia |
'And then, with the brainwashed and enslaved girl as his puppet, he will seize control of all of the Kingdom of Sitiria.' |
Sicilia |
'Once he controls me, the monarch, he will have the law and everything at his disposal. This Kingdom of Sitiria will be turned into Nabulion's toy box.' |
Sicilia |
'I would have liked to avoid such a situation.' |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Don't worry, Principessa Lia. It's not over yet." |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Primaria is a dear friend and I definitely will save her. At the same time, we will halt the ambitions of the bad people who are invading this country." |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"Mhm! This, Nabulion? If we beat the bad guy, happy ever after ―― sì♪" |
Sicilia |
'Hahah. It's not that simple... This country is already corrupted by the Phantom Mist to its very roots and is about to crumble.' |
Sicilia |
'However. I am glad for your words and your feelings, heroes.' |
Sicilia |
'Please lend us your strength to reach a happy future.' |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"YEARGH...!" |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Primaria, are you okay!?" |
We entered from the castle balcony and followed Princess Sicilia's lead into the throne room where the evil Minister Nabulion is located. |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"We're the rescue team! The bad things that are poisoning this country will be cured by the SSS!" |
![Story Catania.png](/images/c/c7/Story_Catania.png) Catania |
"Messi, that's cool♪" |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Ehehe... I, I'm going to regret saying that for a minute. It's embarrassing." |
Sicilia |
'There's no time for jokes. Look, everyone.' |
Sicilia |
'Looks like we're already in a pickle.' |
Acknowledging Sicilia's seriousness, we looked around ―― we were astonished. On a luxurious throne sits a man with a visibly evil face. |
![Story Nabulion.png](/images/5/5e/Story_Nabulion.png) Evil Minister Nabulion |
'My my. I thought I heard a commotion.' |
The root of all evil undermining Ancient Kingdom Sitiria ―― The man Nabulion, the Evil Minister, said so with a smile on his face. He is not the least bit intimidated by our sudden intrusion. |
![Story Nabulion.png](/images/5/5e/Story_Nabulion.png) Evil Minister Nabulion |
'You sure have no manners in the face of the ruler of this country.' |
Sicilia |
'Shut up, invader...! We want our country back!' |
![Story Palermo.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Palermo.png) Palermo |
"........♪" |
![Story Messina.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Messina.png) Messina |
"Ah, Aaah, Primaria!" |
![Brainwashed Cat Life.jpg](/images/1/1a/Brainwashed_Cat_Life.jpg) |
Messina turned pale when she spotted Palermo attending to Evil Minister Nabulion. Palermo looked at us with her empty eyes and smiled. |
Palermo |
"Meow......♪" |
Messina |
"Me, meow?" |
Palermo |
"Meow, meow, meow~n......♪" |
Messina |
"Primaria is acting like a kitty-cat!? Why?" |
Catania |
"Wha, what's wrong, Dottor Palermo? You ate something weird?" |
Sicilia |
'Tch...! We didn't make it in time! That's Nabulion's magic! He can turn clever and talented people into naive harmless kittens!' |
Sicilia |
'You bastard, you outcast! Our Kingdom of Sitiria is the land of alchemists! Where everyone prides themselves on being studious, clever and talented!' |
Sicilia |
'And you turn them into kittens who can't even count to nine! What tyranny, what insult!" |
Palermo |
"Meow, mmeow~n♪" |
Messina |
"Well, for my part, I'm relieved that it's not as serious as I thought." |
Messina |
"I was worried that Primaria would be brainwashed and attack us as enemies~. From the looks of it, it doesn't look like she's going to attack us, maybe?" |
Palermo |
"Meow meow♪" |
Sicilia |
'This is serious! For now only her soul is a kitten, but that girl will eventually turn into an animal in body too!' |
Sicilia |
'And animals without human reasoning can be easily transformed into evil demons by being corrupted by Phantom Mist! If such a thing spreads, this country is finished!' |
Sicilia |
'Demons infested with Phantom Mist will kill people, destroy buildings, and disturb the peace! Everything in this country will be overrun! By our own hands, transformed into demons!' |
Sicilia |
'This is also an insult to our Kingdom of Sitiria, which has communicated with and loved non-human demons and animals through alchemy! How far do you intend to humiliate us, Nabulion!?' |
Evil Minister Nabulion |
'You are a quarrelsome one, aren't you? You are still cuter when you're quiet, Principessa Lia.' |
Evil Minister Nabulion |
'This is my toy box. A dreamland full of cute creatures. You are not fit to rule such an ideal world of ours.' |
Evil Minister Nabulion |
'I have already found a replacement for you now――' |
The Minister of Evil sneered as he patted Palermo on the head, who was sitting on her knees. |
Evil Minister Nabulion |
'Shall we ask the 'fake princess', who is nothing but a nuisance, to leave immediately?' |
A thick Phantom Mist flooded Nabulion's entire body as he laughed evilly. |
