"Umm... sir Second-in-command?" A Helmanian Soldier approached the disguised Rance. "Would you like to join the battle in Custom?"
"No. If I did, I would just have watched. Also, my name is Hans Rutherford."
"Understood!"
Once the soldier left, they proceeded to where Henderson and Maria walked to and a soldier guarding the largest mansion in L'Zille let them pass without question, only saluting him because he was the second-in-command.
When they were inside, Rance felt like it was safe enough to unequip his disguise, so he did. After that, they walked upstairs, with Kanami on the ceiling, watching the surroundings to eventually alert him if somebody were around.
"Noooo!!!" Maria's scream alerted the trio, and two of them approached the door where the scream was heard. "Get away, get away!"
Rance frowned, though this was in fact completely necessary. So, he put his finger on a wall, and engraved something on it.
'A warp point.... Amazing, Master Rance really plans ahead' Sill spoke after he engraved it and then made it vanish using an advanced illusion magic.
"Oh, what a heartbreaking voice.... so much spice..."
"Ahh! What are you putting on my body!?"
"Something that will make your body hotter and tighter. If your voice is spice, then this is where I put it. Hehehe... Fufufu.... OhohohoHOHOHO!!! I must thank the current second-in-command for this! This Maria Custard is the best thing to be given!"
Rance will kill him later, as his woman was definitely not a thing, and he has to find this "Miss Sapphire" too. He turned around and left to investigate this area using his disguise.
He entered a room where several Leazas Black Army soldiers were cooking, and they definitely sounded like they were out of their mind while being brainwashed, too.
Nothing important was there, though he gained information that Sapphire was in the lighthouse southwest from L'Zille.
Due to a bit of curiosity, the disguised Rance eventually entered a room where a maid had been cleaning the room. The maid had stopped working when.
"This room stinks...." He commented, noticing the objects, used tissues, and other sex toys on the ground that the maid had almost began to collect.
The maid had brown hair and green eyes, yet she looked pretty hopeless.
"Umm...." Sill glanced at the girl.
"What's your name?" Rance asked her, as she tried to politely bow towards him.
".... Mekill Deka L'Zille, sir." She spoke, "I'll prepared the bed right now, so-!"
Rance interrupted her by holding her hand.
"No, not now. I'm actually not a real Helman Knight, basically, I'm a mole that would soon make them fall." Rance spoke, yet the girl slightly believed him.
"You're from Leazas?"
"No, but I am sent to liberate Leazas by it's princess." He replied, and the girl slowly became filled with hope. "Its a long process, but by now, Helman is taking over the Free Cities, so I'll have to take my time cutting off the weed until eventually I'd get to Leazas Castle to rescue her... and several people too." Rance replied, lightly clenching his hand while glancing on it.
"Just hope I'd eventually win, okay? Soon enough, L'Zille would be free." He assured her with a grin under his illusory helmet.
"... Y-yes." The girl replied to him, trying to smile at him, just before he suddenly commanded her to clean up this room.
After that, they left L'Zille, facing the lighthouse from afar. They also observed the barely visible figures of the brainwashed Leazas Troops marching to Custom.
Rance looked around, and made sure nobody notices them as he had already stopped being in the illusion he made
"Right, after we take out this Sapphire in the lighthouse, I'll send the signal to the rebel troops." Rance began to explain his plan. "Although, we do need to get there in the quickest way possible that isn't teleportation. Maybe we might get noticed right away, too."
Rance tapped his foot on the ground, before thinking about some support spells.
"Just wait for a moment." He said, raising his hands up and grabbing both Sill and Kanami while both were confused. "[Durability Reinforcement: Level 2], and to me... [Agility Boosting: Level 1]"
"Eh!? What are you doing!?"
"Master?!"
Rance lifted then up and carried them on his shoulder in two swift motions, before kneeling down on the ground.
"If you're asking me what am I doing, I'm going to dashing to the lighthouse!" He replied, before suddenly dashing forwards, making both Kanami and Sill scream in surprise due to the wind slamming on their faces.
Meanwhile, somewhere not far from where he dashed....
"Aten! Aten! We're only a few minutes of walking until we reach L'Zille's lighthouse!" A girl spoke, waving her flag high up on the air.
".... Yeah.... let's get going already, Julia." The girl, Aten, replied rather grumpily.
While Julia happily skipped forward and Aten followed normally, a blur passed by them while two clearly coming from two girls had appeared for more than a fraction of a second, a heavy gust of wind followed, lifting their skirts up and forcing them to hold said skirts down.
After the heavy gust of wind was over, the two of them began to cough due to dirt going into their mouths.
"Kuff! Kuff! What was that?!" Aten complained, and Julia kept her cool.
"Th-That must have been a part of the tour? Anyways, let's keep moving forward!"
