We stayed overnight at Nora-sanâs base. Ohii-sama was also very popular in Nora-sanâs area. After all, Ohii-sama is cheerful and friendly and doesnât have the intimidating aura that Nora-san has. I think she may be the second most popular princess I have ever met, after Serene.
And by interacting with the outside world, I feel like Ohii-samaâs condition seems to be improving. After all, she might have been feeling unfulfilled when she was being imprisoned.
Before we leave, Nora-san goes out of her way to the front of the building to see us off.
âYou can come again when you feel like it. You can even stay for a longer period of time. It will be a good stimulus for you.â (Nora)
âThank you, Nora Onee-sama!â (Alisha)
Ohii-sama thanks her with tears in her eyes. I was worried about what would happen when she threw a tantrum, but after spending the night catching up (Although it seems like yesterday was the first time they had met), it seems like they have built a good relationship.
âIâm leaving Alisha to you, ãLightning Emperor (Raitei)ã, Kuubi. Although I donât think there will be any problems in Tonyâs areaâ¦â¦ Alisha is in a special position. Thereâs no guarantee that there wonât be any scoundrels.â (Nora)
âDonât worry, Nora. With the three of us, your Imouto is the safest in Code.â (Kryhi)
Kryhi laughs with enthusiasm while Kuubi snorts in boredom. Then Nora-san looks at me as if she has just remembered something.
âBy the way, Cry. You, do you recognize this person?â (Nora)
Nora-san *pachin* snaps her fingers and an image appears in the air.
What is shown in the image isââA large man wearing a creepy mask attacking Nora-sanâs knights.
My eyes are unintentionally drawn to this sight. It may sound strange, but his unique, dance-like footwork has a strange charmââA compelling force that naturally draws my eyes toward him.
Nora-sanâs knights *batabata* fall one after the other with almost no resistance.
Heck, the person in this image, is definitely Kaiser who came in Code with me. My eyes cannot be deceived by a mask.
âYes, I do. It is Kaiser. He is the strongest dancer who has saved many countries with his Tempest Dancing.â (Cry)
âDanâ¦â¦ Cerâ¦â¦?â (Nora)
Please donât ask me. Even I am a little skeptical too, but this is certainly a dance.
âHe is someone sent by Angus. He is being manipulated by the mask. I never thought that the enhanced knights I trained would be defeated without being able to resist. He will likely be our greatest enemy.â (Nora) RÌÎNôðÄð¢
Manipulated by the maskâ¦â¦â¦â¦? I open my eyes at these words.
When I turn my eyes to the image again, I see a large number of thugs appearing at the spot where the knights have fallen and carrying them somewhere.
*Fumufumu*, I see. This isââ.
âDonât worry, Nora-san. He is not being manipulated.â (Cry)
âWhat!?â (Nora)
A Level 8 Hunter is a hero. There are quite a few demons among the Phantoms that manipulate people, so he should have perfect resistance to brainwashing.
âHe is just pretending to be manipulated. Look, the proof is that not a single person has died. If Kaiser was serious, not a single person would be alive.â (Cry)
âHmmmmâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â (Nora)
Nora-san groans with a semi-convinced, semi-disbelief expression on her face. To be honest, I donât know what Kaiserâs intentions were in attacking Nora-sanâs Knight Orders, but I guess it was a necessary act to protect Angus-ouji. Even if I make a naive estimation, Kaiser and Saya should be a hundred times better at doing their jobs than me, so there is nothing to worry about.
âWell, leave it all to me. Let the experts handle it.â (Cry)
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦ Who, on earth are you?â (Nora)
Nora-san sighs deeply.
I cannot say right now. But you will know soon. We are already counting down the days from completing their protection (Randomly guessing). Letâs go sightseeing in the next area before everything is settled.

Thanks for reading! Is Kaiser really still controlled by the mask or is it as Cry said and he is just acting as if he is being controlled by the mask!? The mystery remainsâ¦
