Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 135: Escape from Creia
It was around the gate of the mansion of count Claire located in the center of the city.
The ball of light rising above the city made the whole city experience daylight at night.
Shortly thereafter it was followed by a commotion carried out by the soldiers living in the mansion.
「Oi, what happened. It's so bright outside, is the sun up? 」
「I don't know! That ball of light suddenly appeared above the city of 」
An old soldier who was sleeping soundly inside the station right beside the gate appeared to hear a commotion.
Although he had heard what had just happened, he did not expect to hear an answer that would make him understand the situation.
And there, he saw a figure approaching the gate.
"Who is that? "
The soldier who noticed the figure of someone asked in a loud voice.
「…………. A lady? 」
There, they saw a young girl whose entire body was hidden by a robe. His face was fully exposed as it was not covered by the hood of the robe.
His light purple colored hair glimmered brightly under the light of the ball that shone over the city.
「It, hair color …………. . 」
「DDD-Didn't he have the same features as ojou-sama in the notification? . They tell us to protect her if we find a girl with light purple colored hair 」
The soldiers were enchanted by the beauty of the fairy-like girl and stood in a daze at their place.
And then, the girl suddenly turned around while the soldiers were wandering around in confusion.
Almost at the same time, the bright ball of light above the city was quickly extinguished. The darkness of the night descended upon the city for the second time.
「WAIT! AH, I MEAN, WAIT A MINUTE !! 」
Although the soldiers called him to stop, the girl did not wait for them. He disappeared like smoke in the darkness.
「CALL SOLDIER IN MANSION NOW! WE'LL CHASE AFTERWARDS !!! 」
「Y-YES! 」
After the old soldier suddenly issued such an order, the younger soldier immediately ran into the mansion at an extremely high speed.
As for the young purple-haired girl they were looking at, she looked at their exchange from above.
（Aisia. Enchanting the soldiers inside the mansion. Make sure they see you around the mansion, and then lure them from the mansion towards the north block of town）
Section 2
The girl— Aisia, heard Rio's voice echoing in her head. Her hair color turned light purple with spirit arts.
（Understood）
After replying to Rio with her inorganic voice, Aisia descended to the ground a second time.

Rio braced his body and then ran over the roof of the building lined up in line―― Towards the north block.
「FAST! HE WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE THAT FAR. HE MIGHT TRY TO ESCAPE FROM THE NORTH GATE. FIND VICINITY THOROUGHLY! 」
Despite the night, many soldiers were scattered in the streets.
Lured by Aisia, the soldiers inside the fortress were lured up to the north block.
Upon learning that the soldiers were moving in a two-man team, Rio leaped towards them like a bird of prey.
「GU」
「GA!」
The soldier fainted at the next moment and then fell to the ground. The iron stick that became a soldier should have rolling equipment nearby.
Rio grabbed the iron rod with his right hand after realizing that it was rolling nearby.
He then swung it to get used to the feeling. After getting used to the baton, he hid himself by jumping onto the roof for the second time.
After that, he could hear various small commotion coming from various directions from the soldiers who were moving as a small team and heading towards the north block of――
（Haruto）
After hiding her figure near the north gate, Aisia's figure materialized in front of her.
「Thank you for your hard work. I'd like you to make yourself appear to be running away from this gate after I open this gate. This will be your last job for this operation, Aisia 」
Section 3
Rio said so while looking at the gate that was illuminated with a watch from his hiding place. And of course, there were more soldiers than usual as they were very careful not to let anyone escape.
"Good"
After nodding at him, Rio put on the hood of his robe enough to hide his facial expression.
The next moment, Rio ran towards the north gate without showing any hestitation.
His boots made from the skin of the dragon sub-species were trampled on the ground, as he pushed himself forward towards the gatekeeper like a bullet. After reaching a distance of an inch from the gatekeeper, he swung the staff without giving the soldiers a chance to notice anything.
「GUH」
3 Out of 5 gatekeepers fell with the blow.
「HA, UH, ………. AAAA? 」
By the time the remaining 2 soldiers noticed Rio, it was too late. As soon as they saw his figure, they felt a punch from their back and then they were already unconscious in the next moment.
（Equipment to open gate is inside station）
To open the gate of the house, Rio entered the station which became right beside the gate.
Even though he found an old soldier inside, he immediately knocked him unconscious and then started playing around with the mechanic to open the gate.
Then there was the loud sound of the gate starting to open.
The surrounding soldiers became noisy after they heard the sound of the gate being opened.
「OI SOMEONE WHO OPENED THE Gate! 」
「Gate OPEN. I SAW THE GIRL UNDER THE GATE! 」
When the north gate was opened enough for one person to enter, Rio sent a telepathic communication to Aisia.
（Now it's your turn, Aisia. Please join me when you find the right moment）
（Understood）
Aisia gallantly followed after Rio's signal. Rio left the station and headed towards the south block before even losing sight of Aisia who was departing from the north gate.

10 Minutes after Rio and Aisia started their operation.
Celia-tachi was climbing over the walls of Count Claire's mansion and safely escaped from the area of the mansion.
