[AN: Bonus Chapter 5/5]

"I would like to see what a lowly beastkin like you can do. The Church of Yuthia is right to want to purge you all from this continent!" With this, the water screen went dark.

Kana looked over at Claine and bowed her head. "I am sorry to have troubled you. But I must go."

"It's fine. I had figured this was going to happen. Since you will be heading to the empire, I will amass our army on the border. Once you are ready, we will begin diversionary tactics and expand our territory into the empire. You must know that the Rural Kingdom will be behind you one hundred percent." Claine spoke with a soft smile.

Kana's eyes softened a little as she rubbed her nose. "I thank you then. But do me a favor and keep Tilia here where it is safe. I will do my best to bring everyone back."

Claine nodded as he stood up. "Then, as the king of Rural, I formally request that the hero of the Rural Kingdom to please assist in helping return the citizens of Rural who were captured by the plots of evil humans."

Kana knew Claine was doing this in order to make things legitimate all the way around and quickly knelt to the ground and bowed her head. "I hear your Majesty's order, and I accept."

Claine nodded his head in approval. He had hoped Kana would understand why he was doing this. It was not for himself or for Kana but for the people. Right now, this hall was filled with nobles of many ranks. He had to make a show of things in order for it to look like he had a say in Kana's actions. "I hope to hear good things upon your return."

Kana lifted her head and stood up. She was about to turn around when a thought came to mind. She turned back to Claine and asked: "Your majesty can I bother you to contact my husband in Stone Hammer? His name is Creige, and he works as a blacksmith there."

Kana did not want to leave Creige out of the loop in case something happens. Hearing Kana's request, he nodded his head and said: " I will have someone send a message right a..."

At that moment, a crack in space appeared in the hall. All the guards surrounded Claine and drew their weapons. "No need to contact me, for I am already here." A familiar l handsome man exited the crack in space. Along with him were two other familiar figures as well.

"Creige!" Kana yelled out with a blooming smile. She ran up to him and hugged him. She then looked at the two others who came with him and asked: "Did you two notify him of what was going on?"

"Yes. We also wanted to apologize. We were busy doing other things while all this was going on. But once we heard about it, we quickly went into action and got permission to fully help in this situation. Although our powers are limited right now in order to do so." Sei bowed her head while at the same time forcing Yuthia to bow her head.

The two had been playing the board game this entire time and not looking at what was going on. Once they did notice, they ran to High God Methiesee to see how he wished to deal with the issue. Unlike last time where they could just make a few threats, they could not deal with the empire since the emperor was under the protection of a human high god. The only way they could was to have their power restricted to the upper limit of the world, which was a demigod.

"Since you are here, we will need to leave as soon as possible." Kana did not want to waste any more time. Time was already something they did not have much of.

"We can teleport right outside the capital of the empire and sneak in that way. We can avoid unnecessary fighting that way. The less time we spend killing soldiers, the faster we can save the others." Creige announced.

"Then I will leave the planning to you, Creige, and will follow your lead." Kana had no plan at all, so she was happy that Creige was here. If she did push her way into the capital by herself, it would take a few days before she could even get there, and that is not counting the delay from fighting the empire soldiers.

"We know the exact position in the capital where they are. Kiliffia and the other girls are located on the outskirts of the palace, near the back. From what we know, Kiliffia is still passed out and is locked up in a room. As for the other girls, they all seemed to be in the same room. Once we get to the palace, we can easily make our way in." Sei explained. Yuthia, who was next to her, just nodded her head. It seemed she had no idea what was really going on.

"Is it not possible to enter the palace as how you appeared here?" Kana asked.

"We could, but we may end up appearing in a place where there are lots of guards. When someone is captured, it is best for us to do things in a safe manner in order to not endanger their lives. Kana, we will rescue her safe and sound." Creige placed his hand on Kana's head, ruffling her hair slightly.

"Mm..." Kana lowered her head. She was even more glad Creige was here. If she acted too rash, they might have killed everyone. But now she worried since she had said such things to the Emperor of Botus himself…

"We could go right in..." Yuthia finally spoke up.

"What do you mean?" Creige asked.

"Before we left, I placed a protection spell around the rooms of both the captured girls and the room Kiliffia is in. They will be safe and sound. The only thing is, is that it will block any kind of magic trying to get in, so we can not teleport straight to them, but we can make as much of a ruckus as we want. In other words, we are free to raise hell." Yuthia explained.

"When did you do that!?" Sei asked.

"Before, our powers were limited by Uncle. He wanted us to do things in a quiet manner in order to not notify the human high god, but I also know if we let any harm come to Kiliffia, he would have killed us."
