“There’s no way around it, now that we’ve been discovered. Your highness, please let go of that sword right now.”

I realized it would be impossible to proceed safely, so I quickly pulled out my wand, pointed it at the king, and stepped forward, pushing him back into the throne room.

However, as he retreated, the king shouted “Intruderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!” and summoned his guardsmen.

A huge crowd of soldiers came thundering down the hall, shouting things like:

“What was that?”

“That was the king’s voice!”

“Is something wrong?”

They surged through the open doors, and in an instant, our path of retreat had been cut off.

Mm-hmm.

“Saya. I’ll deal with the king. You do something about the soldiers, please.”

“Leave it to me!” Saya readied her wand.

As for Eihemia, she shrank into my side and held up the words I am a noncombatant.

She was totally unwilling to participate.

Well, I guess that’s better than getting in the way.

“Your highness. Hand me the sword, please.” Slowly and steadily, I closed the distance to the king.

“Eh, shut up! Be quiet! Eihemia…what the hell are you doing?!”

My king. That sword is dangerous. I should know. I made it. Eihemia was holding up her sketchbook behind me. So please give it back.

“What are you saying?! This sword is the best weapon I have to lead this country. As long as I have this, I can guide the country in the right direction.”

And then the king said, “Even if villains come after my sword, I can deal with them myself—like this!” He swung the sword in a horizontal slash.

A burst of magical energy flashed from the blade. The bluish-white light formed a crescent-moon shape and flew toward us with the force of his swing.

“Oof.” I dodged it no problem.

It hit Saya.

“Owwwwwwwwwwww!”

The sound of her shrieking filled the hall.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Wahhh… How awful…”

It sure would’ve been nice to know that sword can use magic…

Watch out. That sword can release accumulated magical energy when he swings it. It will really hurt if it hits you.

And why are you telling me this now?

“Tch… So my ordinary methods won’t work against witches—in that case, how about this?! Take that!”

Over and over, the king swung the sword, firing blasts of magical energy. I knocked down every attack so they wouldn’t hit Saya.

Behind me, I could hear signs that Saya was watching, in her half-desperate cries of “Hyah!” and “Damn you!”

“Your Highness, do you think this country has improved since you banned all lying?”

“Of course! All the citizens of my country are happy, aren’t they?”

“Isn’t that because the only people left are the ones who admire your country, while the others have all been chased out?”

“Same difference. We had to eliminate any rebels or traitors.”

“That’s true—on that point, we agree. But there’s a possibility that not everyone really admires what you’re doing.”

“…What did you say?”

As the king furrowed his brow, I thought back to all the signs I had seen in this country—and to the men who had been fighting in the street.

“This place is the Country of Truth Tellers, right? Here, lots of people openly admit their feelings and speak their real opinions, for better or worse.
