“It seems like something has happened.”
Salieri said this with a sleepy voice and face, around the time when the sun was about to set.
Miliaria shudders slightly.
This is because Lionel had suggested the possibility of the negotiations failing.
“Mother Nel said to escape the royal capital if he doesn’t return by night…”
“That’s a typical buffer strategy of Nelnel. If we wait until night, we’ll have no choice but to run.”
Lionel and Kytes had left much earlier than noon.
The negotiation isn’t that difficult.
It’s just a yes or no.
No matter how long it takes, the result should be out by noon.
And given the nature of the matter, they will decline any feast and return.
The fact that they haven’t returned yet, even as evening approaches, means that something unexpected has happened.
As time passes, even the Kytes’ residence will likely be surrounded by the Royal Army.
The army will start moving at night.
Once that happens, the only option left is to escape before being surrounded.
“If we gave a strategy on what to do at this point, everyone would choose to help.”
Salieri says with a loose smile.
“I’m in!”
Asuka jumps in without hesitation.
“So at this point it’s possible, and to prevent us from choosing that, Mother Nel deliberately hid the option.”
Miliaria seems frustrated.
Whether she’s angry at Lionel for always treating her like a child, or angry at herself for not noticing his consideration, she probably doesn’t even know herself.
“He doesn’t want everyone to do dangerous things. That’s how that old lady is.”
“That’s overthinking it.”
“Totally.”
Meisha and Meg nod in agreement.
“Let’s help. That stupid mother.”
Miliaria says decisively, and begins to plan a rescue operation in her mind.
She will have the elite directly under Kytes prepare for the escape from the royal capital.
Rescuing someone from the royal palace is synonymous with becoming a wanted person, so General Kytes and his subordinates will have no place in the kingdom.
Everyone has to escape.
Of course, including the general’s family.
If they are left behind, they will only face a future of imprisonment or execution.
“Then, Kirill-sama. I leave the rest to you.”
“Leave it to me.”
Entrusting the aftermath to Kirill, a knight who is the general’s confidant, Miliaria and the others begin their action.
“But there’s nothing complicated about it.”
Salieri says lazily, and when she uses her spirit magic, the five of them disappear.
It’s a magic that hasn’t been developed yet in the Lintrite Kingdom.
“It’s invisible magic. With this, you can commit any crime~.”
And she even says scary things.
It seems to be a magic that is strictly regulated even within the Masrur country.
She, being one of the Fire Fighters, has the authority to use it, but she can’t make any excuses because she’s using it in another country.
“It’s too late now. We’re about to help with a jailbreak.”
The five of them, now invisible, don’t care about the guards’ eyes at all, smoothly infiltrate the royal castle, and head for the underground prison where Kytes and Lionel are likely to be held.
This information was provided by Knight Kirill.
It’s been about an hour and a half (three hours) since they were captured, so they probably haven’t been tortured yet.
They slip past the guard soldiers, Meg easily unlocks the locked door, and they arrive at their destination in no time, even while throwing numbing medicine into the drinks.
There’s no excitement at all.

When they reveal themselves after putting the guard to sleep and open the iron bars, Lionel is so frustrated he holds his head.
“Well… when the Fire Fighters of Masrur and a skilled thief team up for an infiltration… the guards who aren’t even on high alert are just like puppets…”
He says.
“Oh dear. I’m always being saved by you guys.”
General Kytes, on the other hand, expresses his gratitude honestly, and pats Salieri, Meg, Miliaria, Asuka, and Meisha on the head in turn.
Miliaria thought that this unpretentious personality might have been what pushed him to the position of general.
“Kirill-sama is preparing for the escape. Let’s hurry back to the mansion.”
However, what she said was something else.
Time is of the essence now.
Once again, the intruders, now reduced to seven, disappear with the magic of invisibility and leave the royal castle.
They can’t leave without a trace.
They’ve played all sorts of pranks, like throwing laxatives into the well of the barracks, or mixing sleeping pills into the horse feed.
Any measures to slow down the pursuit are worth taking.
In this way, while the castle is in turmoil due to the unexpected stomachache commotion, the Kytes family’s flight in the night is completed.
It wasn’t until the evening of the next day that the royal castle finally regained its calm.
The news of Kytes and Lionel’s escape also reached King Morrison’s ears around this time.
It’s a delay that can almost be considered fatal.
The king, furious at the situation, severely beat the attendant who had only brought the report with his royal scepter.
This, in turn, made it harder for bad news to reach him.
