Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Behind Kamark is accelerating the steps towards recovery, behind which the entire kingdom was heading in the opposite direction. Eventually, the damage caused by the activities of the demon was so great that it could not be ignored.

The sightings of the monsters, who stayed near the border, gradually spread throughout the kingdom, and finally the villages were being attacked. Still, there were not many monsters at that time, and they were within the limits of the territorial army.

But gradually it becomes impossible. A group of monsters moving from near the border repeatedly joined other groups and grew in size. Demonic groups that were attacking small villages began to attack larger villages and towns, and the damage to the population was increasing.

Of course, the territorial army was not just looking at it. Despite running around the territory in an attempt to defeat the group of monsters that appeared, the monsters used their intellect to disagree with their appearance and moved as if walking across several noble territories. The territorial army cannot step into another noble territory. I was successfully poked by this. As a result, she is fleeing, she is attacked, and she is tossed out.

In the meantime, the public's damage was further exacerbated, and the monsters were gaining more and more momentum, leading to a vicious cycle in which suppression became difficult.

It was not a situation where each noble territory was dealing individually. Since the monsters are showing great coordination, the kingdom should have been prepared to deal with it.

However, the Kingdom's response to this situation was slow. This is half Maria's responsibility. Maria also knows the events of fighting the demon. Using that knowledge, he was trying to fight efficiently. Ignored the raids of individual monsters, focusing only on battles at the event. It's the same way as in school.

Certainly, once the demon is defeated, the monster's attack will stop. It would be more efficient to focus only on the fight for that. You have to think about the lives lost in the meantime.

Maria has not lost her sense of game. He did not receive the suffering of those killed by demons and the sorrow of their families as a reality. I never imagined that it would be a tragedy for the people of the kingdom and would be the root of future problems.

The Maria finally begins to move. The time for the event is near. The location of the event is Hakata, the largest city in the southern kingdom. There, a group of demons gathered to attack.

In the game, the work of the protagonist, Maria, and her friends is an important event that will be the first publicly recognized opportunity.

Just in the game.

Maria has already officially received support from the kingdom. It is no longer necessary, as it has been publicly acknowledged. What we need is to move quickly to the destruction of monsters without waiting for an event, but Maria and others did not.

As a result, without knowing that the quality and quantity of the demon has increased dramatically due to the flowing blood.

The more blood that flows on the earth, the weaker the demon's seal and the closer the resurrection. This is the purpose of the demons to move the demons to attack people. I'm going to sacrifice.

And if the seal of the demon weakens, the power of the affected demon and the demon will also increase.

Maria had forgiven it.

If that's all, it doesn't matter to Leon. It's a warm welcome for Rion to get things going fast and the demon event finally ends.

But the world does not allow it. Rion was trying to get involved in the event.

◇◇◇

A hall for audiences in Kamark Castle. There were people involved in the territory of Kamark. Not for meetings. This is to welcome the royal messenger from the royal capital, the emissary.

"... I should join Baron Frey promptly in order to fulfill these duties."

Rion descended on the lower seat and heard the words of the edict from the royal capital. While shaking himself in anger that cannot be suppressed.

Suddenly, the emissary came to Kamark and told him to lead his soldiers and join the demon. Moreover, it is a defense effort for a completely unrelated city, such as Hackerta, who does not know where Lion is.

"Is it okay to ask one?"

He could ask a question without shouting, and Leon wanted to praise himself.

"What?"

"Why me? I am the man of this bandeau. The city is out of my responsibilities. Isn't there a person in charge of that city?"

"This is a highly praised selection for your Take. Isn't this a place you will gladly worship?"

He shouldn't have thought of being a royal ambassador. If it is not a war with other nations, such as dispatching another territory, it is almost impossible. In the first place, it should be enough to dispatch a Royal Army even if you do not have a noble territory. This is a totally unsatisfactory response to Leon.

"... Who was the person who picked me up?"

"The Crown Prince Arnold's recommendation has been approved by His Majesty the King. That is His Majesty. I'm honored to be honored."

Did he have to dare to name Prince Arnold? I do not understand the edict's feelings. In fact, you may think that you are seriously selected. It is a great opportunity to be recognized by His Majesty the King in the future.

If not, the envoy would have malicious intentions on Prince Arnold, which is unlikely.

"By when are you going?"

"First day of the previous water month"

“…………”

Leon didn't know what the envoy was saying, but Eriel gently told him from behind. The royal ambassador gave the date in the old calendar. January is the first month of the sun, February is the next month of the sun, and so on, followed by the moon, fire, water, wind, and soil. The month of the water is July. On July 1, this is the deadline for participation.

"By the way, can the cost of participation be paid by the country?"

"What?-The first thing to worry about is gold."

Not at the forefront. It is not surprising. Despite the ongoing recovery of Bandhu, it is still hard to afford.

The emissary's reaction was on purpose. The emissary wants to hear only the words of consent. The other interactions are just cumbersome. He told me to go around, not to complain.

"It's a remote wilderness, so the finances are tough. If you can't afford it, this is the case."

However, he speaks exactly the opposite of the wish of Lion's edict. Without military spending, no troops can be dispatched. This was a matter of course, and I thought it was a good excuse.

It was a miscalculation of the emissary who did not know that he did not have any intention to erect Rion.

"Oh no, wait, it's not a cost, let me know your Majesty.

In a hurry to Lion's reply, the envoy said that he would inform the king of the issue of military spending. I can't be relieved just by being told, but I've stopped using this as a word. Rion should not be completely offended by the envoy. This was a common story in Ryo's history novels, as he was guilty of the messengers and was charged with innocent sin.

Leon understood that he had to accept this order. The emissary wants Leon to agree. If you refuse this, it will be your own blunder.

"... Please tell your Majesty that you acknowledged it."

"Oh, yeah, that's fine."

The emissary's face turned into a radiant one at a stretch.

"Well, the Imperial Palace is tired, too. There is a reputed recreation area for the people of Ichii in this city. That's all. "

"I see. That's all. I can't help it. Let's endure it."

The emissary's face is not an expression of patience. I know Kamark's rumors. Recently, Kamark's rumors have come to be called the best entertainment city in the east.

"Now, guide the Imperial Palace"

"Yes"

One of the guard maids was on the guide. The White Party. At the guidance of the maid, the ambassador went lightly and left the hall.

"……Bullshit"

"Rion ..."

As soon as the emissary was no longer visible, words of anger were spit out as if squeezed out of Rion's mouth. Eriel snuggled up to Rion with a worried look and shook her hand gently.

However, the power of the hand to hold back was weak.

"Why is it now? Still ... let's go ..."

Rion muttering grudges while down.

Airiel understands Rion's feelings. I was going away from game shackles, I was going away and gently preparing for the game story, waiting for the day the game story was about to end.

But the world doesn't even allow that. It is trying to drag on to the stage, as if to laugh at Lion's thoughts. The fear that the humiliation will be lost again is leaking from Rion's mouth.

But this is something that only Aireriel knows the truth. To others, Leon seems to be lamenting that he must leave the land of Bandhu during this period of reconstruction.

And this misunderstanding leads to a further misunderstanding that Leon thought so much about Bandou.

In any case, everyone in this place thought, but misunderstood, of Rion's feelings, and simply stared at Rion silently. Now I can't find anything to hang.

A time of silence that seemed to be eternal was flowing in the saloon. But, of course, it will come to an end. Leon slowly raised his face and opened his mouth, staring into the air.

"... I'm fine. If that's the case, I'll regret having pulled me."

To say this, power had returned to Rion's eyes. On the contrary, he has a stronger will than ever. I decided something. This was something everyone could feel, not just Aeriel.

"Bravod"

"... Huh"

Bravod, first named, is surprised. The expression doesn't change anything.

"Send the hand to the destination immediately. I will check all the numbers, trends, and anyway, and have them report each time."

"Wish"

"I want to exchange information more closely. If possible, please have someone beside you."

"behind"

Almost at the same time as Bravod spoke, behind Rion, a man sat down in a kneeling position.

"... Is he always there?"

The sign of this man was something that Rion had long felt.

"I'm Chandra Schwarz."

Being a family member of Bravod, or son, having the family name of Schwarz. From the beginning, Bravod was supposed to be on the side of Rion and always kept close. If Mercury is the front guard as a guard, Chandra is the back guard.

"I understand.

"Wish"

Chandra was the same man with few words as his father.

Rion immediately turned to the front without showing any interest in such things. To give the next instruction.

"Cassis"

"Hah"

"Get the army ready to go. This is a war. Don't let go of regret. Don't want to kill allies."

"... Huh"

I can't be sorry for saying this. Of course not. Even a demon opponent fights with full power if it becomes a battle. That is the nature of Cassis.

"How many numbers can you prepare? I have no spare capacity.

"……thousand"

With some thought, Cassis told the number.

"Is that just the Red Party?"

"No, it's the sum of the four parties, excluding black and white."

"It's surprisingly few"

Not a little. I'm trying to hide my power because I'll someday rebel against the kingdom. If so, Rion thought there would be ten thousand troops. Thousands are enough to be crushed by the army of neighboring lords alone.

Rion feels that the cassis secretions are ridiculous, but I can't help saying that now.

"Does that number include the number of territorial guards?"

"Yes"

"... then, select the four hundred"

"Are you four hundred?"

The territorial security has about 200 people in charge at all times. Even if you pull it, you can take 800. Rion, who said that she was just a little short, is trying to reduce the number she takes. Cassis doesn't know Rion's intentions.

"There is no difference between four hundred and eight hundred. If so, less is better. Mobility is higher and costs are lower."

And if the priority is on territorial security or demon defeat, Leon chooses territorial security without hesitation. The result of deciding the number of people to take after securing the necessary number of people to protect the territory is four hundred.

"A spare horse? I think you need at least twice as many horses to take turns."

"... If it's four hundred, it's all right."

I was hesitant to speak. You are lying. From the perspective of Leon, cassis is really easy to understand.

"Horse is a thousand. Prepare a carer who takes care of the horse, apart from four hundred."

"Thousands? Why do you need a thousand horses?"

"To minimize the number of days it takes to arrive at the destination. Replacement horses and spares in case anything else happens."

"... Do you just run?"

"Okay? I don't know how long you can keep the horse running. Anyway, think about how to get to your destination in the shortest time. You can change the number of horses to match."

"... Okay, but why are you so hurry?"

"I'm saying it's the opposite. I want to make my departure as late as possible.

"... Huh"

Use as few days as possible for participation. Leon decides so. For that, even if it was a disappointing start, it was necessary to work hard without leaving out, regardless of the number to take. This is why Leon tries to use the cassis without hesitation.

"Mercury"

Subsequently, Leon called Mercury's name.

"Hurry, I'll hurry the preparation of the Guards."

"No, you're left"

"What's that!?"

Mercury is surprised at the emergency order. That's right. Mercury is the guard of Rion. It is natural to follow them as a direct unit.

"Bandu cannot be emptied. Someone must protect it."

"But we are Konoe!"

"That's why you're the one you trust the most, so you can leave it behind."

"However……"

I'm happy with Rion's words, but I'm still not convinced that I'm leaving.

"There is no guarantee that monsters will not show up in Bandu. Even if monsters do appear, they will never hurt travelers or nations. You must never do that. ''

Has a safe route with other countries. That is what keeps Bandu busy today. Everyone knows this. Mercury, who was in charge of the guard, understood of course more than anyone.

"... I understand. I'll definitely meet your expectations."

Mercury was finally convinced that he knew that he had taken a heavy responsibility instead of being left behind. This is because I was able to receive the proof of trust and honestly.

"Airiel"

"You don't say anything left?"

Without a break, Eriel returned. There is a smile on his face, but Leon knows that this is a smile when he must never go against it.

"……Do you get it"

When you die. After swearing, the dangerous battlefield must go together. Yes, Leon convinced himself.

I know it's no use, but I know I'll break at the end.

"Then, I'm sorry. It's my first time to go out. I'm excited."

If Ariel accompanies herself, she is a guard maid. Venus made a voice in the usual light tone. But this hope never comes true.

"Venus is left"

"Huh? Why?"

"To be honest, the White Party is on the battlefield."

"Such ..."

Even stunned, no rebuttal is possible. Even though it is called the Band 六 Six Party, black and white, unlike the other four parties, are a gang and not good at working on the battlefield. In addition, those who work with art and color as white weapons are not particularly good at individual battles.

"Defend your territory with Mercury. I'll ask you to work to make sure the territory isn't upset and the folks are upset."

"……Yes"

With regret, Venus accepted Rion's words. I thought I wasn't eligible to complain now. He thinks he is wrong with his feet.

"Jun, Oct. Prepare the food and supplies you need to get started."

"Oh, I see."

"Talk to Fors about purchasing. As far as I can tell, I think some things are cheaper to buy from Ox or Hashiu."

"Is that so?"

"Probably. False has the latest information, so please consult."

Although it was still collecting information, the activities of the register had spread to neighboring countries.

"Do you get it"

"Yes, sep."

"me?"

"Ah. Tell me about your troop dispatch to your neighbors. And if Bandu is going to be attacked by a demon, you'll need reinforcements."

"Is it okay to send such information to other countries?"

The meaning of telling other nations that a territory is running short due to troop dispatch is unknown to the Sep.

"No problem. Even if all the troops are gone, why don't you attack me?"

"... is that so too?"

If the neighboring country took the chance and took the land of Bandhu, it would be destroyed by the kingdom immediately. The worries of the sep are useless.

"If so, it's better to keep it informed. In fact, you don't have to worry about border security."

"I see. It's polite."

It is Bandou's foreign policy to make the relationship between its neighbors Ox and Hashiu even more intimate. These exchanges are not bad.

"That's what. If you accept the request for reinforcements, you'll make money.

"Then it's better to hurry negotiations. What about a letter? I think it's better to give it in the lord's name."

"Prepare immediately"

"Do you get it"

"Is this a place for the time being? Everyone should move immediately."

"" "Hah!" "

Approximately one month later, Bandu's troops set out. Use the colors of each party as they are for the armor, and stand out in a flashy way.

Bandou leaders did not know. I hope that this departure, which I thought about as a helping fight, will be an opportunity to spread Bandu's name throughout the country.
