A week has passed.

The messenger to the Fourth Reign has returned.In his report, he said, "Protect the Holy Republic."

The lord himself was accompanied, so you can rest assured.

Solia and the others who heard that prepared and sent medicine.

However, the good news did not come after the third mandate.

- Even the messenger.

"- Then the rest of the territory will be suppressed by force.Is that okay? "

"Could you wait a little longer?Something... might be happening. "

"I can't wait any longer. If you're ready to intercept, you can't do anything stupid."

"... but..."

Okay?

"....."

At the negotiating table, the advance of the Waylah Empire was decided.

Nevertheless, as I told you beforehand, the domination by a minority of me and Yui - or the assassination of the lord - is the main thing.

"Don't worry. If you move a few, your allies and enemies do less damage."

"Few...?"

"Yui and... I see. Jed, can you help?"

It's like the first act I ever suggested.I even have the illusion that I just came up with it.

Of course, if there had been a collusion beforehand, Soria would have been angry.

Like now.

"Geez! Are you going to make Geed's hands dirty!?"

"- No, I don't mind. Some of them are sick and suffering if we don't hurry, right?"

"... Mr. Geed, if you say so."

Solia nodded, too.

The sun goes down in the evening.

I joined Yui.

"Sure. I'm here by hand, but is everything all right?"

"..." Kokuri

Yui shook her neck vertically only once.

It's quieter than usual. No, I'm killing signs.Even if you look away for a moment, you'll lose sight of the signs.

I'm already in work mode.

……

Yui runs without a signal.In the meantime, follow her back.

Pretty quick. Absolutely no footsteps.If you hear clearly, the sound of the wind will reach slightly.It was close, finally.

Do you know where it is?

……

I haven't heard back.

Well, that's how you know it's running.

This is her home, and there is no way the Waylah Empire will get away with it.I would have procured a map beforehand.

……

……

Silence persists. There is no unpleasant atmosphere such as awkwardness.

But...

(Is Yui quieter than usual... because he's in work mode...?)

If I were in Yui's position, I would think.

For Yui, the lords will all be avenged.From now on, we will suppress or kill those lords.

There is justice in saving citizens.But killing people is not inevitable.Not to mention a little friendship.

It's supposed to be a mix of emotions.

"... are you okay?"

Throw such a word.

But I still haven't heard back.

I'm just looking straight at you.

(Are you immersed in the mission?I guess it's better not to think about it....)

If for some reason you are overflowing with personal feelings, you will never stop.

I think you should go to work after putting your feelings in order.But this is a difficult issue.

"... well, don't rub your mind too much.I use detection magic around here.I don't have any enemies. "

Help avoid being too loud.

Even Yui alone may be able to kill the lords.Louisa should be expecting that.

Still, you put me on to increase certainty.

Then why?

Simple strength?

No, that's not all.

I'm sure Yui's psychological aspects are also taken into account.

My presence should give me room.Even if Yui doesn't move, I might be able to handle it.To create such leeway.
