The Astheist
The meeting is held in secret.
Because the mentees are from all walks of life, the risk must be kept to a minimum.
This time, it was held in the "A-ranked designated area".
For a few years now, the pentagonal structure, which was being built by just a few of the people involved just for the purpose of the rally, has kept away the powerful monsters that lightly devastate a city.
I could tell it had the best defenses.
The Empress, who had the greatest military strength of the Humans, and the top of the organization that supported countries with tens of thousands of battles were also the men.
Riff and Ruina finished the meeting and walked along the idle hallway, lining up for just the two of them.
You saved Sheila's life, didn't you?
"I just don't want to make Zeid an enemy." If you want to fight him, you don't have to leave the Astaire. "
Is that what you really mean?
Is it okay to lightly expose your heart here?
……
Gaze at each other.
Riff had eyes for everything.
Ruina's eyes were like a cloth she couldn't grasp.
Both are looking at each other to confirm their intentions.
I can see that we don't trust each other.
Even if there is a cooperative relationship at the gathering, it does not indicate a friendly relationship. There was only a convergence of interests.
Ruina guessed that Riff wouldn't answer anything and switched to another story.
"So, can you tell me what happened?" No way, that blonde girl - was she Sheila? I didn't think that that was someone who was going to be wanted by all the people. "
It was on the agenda of this meeting.
"And the churches, and the temples, and the unions, and the statues, and the cathedrals, which were round about Astaire. Haha, did you avoid the orphanage because of your conscience?... but what we're doing is turning True Aztecs into enemies. There are not many supporters like me who are only in shape to make a connection as one of the cards in their hand, but they are still the biggest sect of the Humans. It can be said to be the organization with the most influence. Why are you doing this?"
The possible causes as well as Ruina were listed unlimitedly.
Sabotage in collusion with other sects.
Attacks in tandem with other races.
Or a true Aztec selfie to show off your misery.
Or the act of madness.
I can't be sure of the myriad of candidates I can imagine.
Sheila doesn't have much information.
Formerly a public figure in the Knights of Kuzela, it was a very short period of time.
There are relatives, but there is no shadow other than that of my biological father, Lande Isla, who struck the coup.
After leaving the Knights, I was enrolled in the guild.
That's why Ruina asked Riff, the chief.
But this time, Rif's eyes became irresistible.
Even if she were to lie, Ruina wouldn't be able to judge the truth.
Still,
"...... I don't know. There will be a change of heart for everyone."
I instantly understood that Riff had suitably cleared up.
"Then why don't you expel me from the guild?" If you agree to the nomination, it will be a material to avoid saying it's irrelevant. Well, it's going to be a kind of rumor. "
"I'm scared of Zed, too ~"
Rif says he can't help it.
This is what Ruina mentioned, and the threat of Zide becoming an enemy is immeasurable and cannot be pursued in depth.
However, in the case of Ruina, it is true, while in the case of the riff, it is used on the escape port. As expected of Luina, she had a grumpy face.
Are you hiding it?
"Well, there are other reasons." I told you. It hurts the name of the guild when a person who had been registered once is assigned to an entire continent. Above all, the fact that we have not been able to prevent many raids will lead to the mistrust of Astaire. "
Read the pre-set sentence you prepared.
That's the only answer to that calorie.
Ruina couldn't dig any deeper either.
I know that you're only preparing more saved sentences.
Therefore, the method is changed.
"The answer is, will the Weyra Empire be able to help me in the future, even without my back?" If it weren't for me, would Sheila be wanted? "
It was a threat.
Luina is right, the Waila Empire cannot be ignored. Few can imitate her in a bad mood.
Even if he did, most of them would be fools.
However, Riff's expression did not collapse in a determined manner.
It's too much to think about.
"Kufufu, is that so?" Was it because of my imagination that something seemed to be going on? "
Ruina pushed it.
If you are a small human with a liver, at least one sweat will drip down. It was as if a snake was strangling me.
However, the riff was once again cut off.
Oh, the Empress would have made a mistake.
I'm not thinking of pulling the story out of the riff any more forcefully than I did with Ruina in the past.
But Ruina was a strong loser.
"I see. By the way, you're wrong to turn Zeed into an enemy." When we invaded the Stillbeats, most of our prized armies ceased to function. "
"I guess the real aim was to clean up the interior of the Imperial Army." It shouldn't have been all bad ".
Riff knows that at that time, the Weyra Empire made treaties with various countries. The contents are mutually inviolable.
There was no doubt that Ruina had anticipated the civil unrest.
And Ruina wouldn't even try to hide it.
"Well, there are aspects like that." But you shouldn't buy the fury of a monster named Zeed. Huh? ”
"What are you trying to say?"
"If I couldn't protect Sheila, where would the tip of my anger go?" The pain of losing something important will heal in time. But it will take a long time. I wonder how much that man can do in one day. "
― ― For example, continue.
"Isn't it repugnant to just say 'existence that you were supposed to protect'?"
It was a word to suggest a crisis in the guild. I may have had the guts to instil distrust in Zed.
However, the riff still didn't create a gap.
"That's not going to happen, is it?"
"You seem to trust me a lot." Well, no matter what, we'll have to find Sheila soon. "
― ― Before they crushed me.
Only the words remained strong in Rif's chest. It was because of being a picture star and being engraved as one's own hatred.
The nomination of the entire Jewish tribe was dispensed with.
However, Sheila was already a criminal simply because she was not wanted, and she is considered a target of a crusade by the organizations in charge of maintaining law and order in various countries.
Even if Riff had explained at the meeting, Sheila's crusade would not have been canceled.
Her crime is beyond doubt and is still going on.
◆
Golden hair flutters.
The proportions as a female body are close to perfection.
A tidy face also adds to the charm.
Everyone will salivate at the beauty.
But now she-sheila was giving her saliva in a different way.
One of the knights was storing tears in his eyes as he pulled out his hips.
He had the greatest strength in his hometown.
Since I was a boy, I had participated in the crusade against monsters.
At the Knight School of the Holy Republic, he sat at the top of the ranks, and even after being assigned to the army, he was asked for his future.
But the people who were now my friends have fallen.
"Besides, it's bullshit...!"
I don't usually leave a knight's squad in a church.
I knew someone was coming to attack me, but they were laughing at me for putting in too much power.
I was so confident and boastful.
But all the beatings were cut off.
There was no more way to resist.
That was the only thing that made them different.
You can't pull it off because you're a knight. I was prepared to do so in any situation.
There are few people who can act knowing that whatever they do is in vain.
The heart proved that he was good.
Phew
With a gruesome sword in one hand, the girl took a breath.
Just like when I finished light work.
After a few moments, the church of Astaire that was behind it collapsed.
The pillars that had been brittle in the previous raid were finally crumbling out of support.
The cause of the fire is uncertain.
Candles or torches or shella.
In any case, the church is enveloped in fire.
"... nh?"
Sheila noticed a rough magic item on the side of the road.
Pick it up and show it to the knight.
What is this? It's not a defensive magic item, is it?
……
The knight clearly looks upset.
Then he took a deep breath and shut his mouth tightly.
"Is that such an important thing?" Even though it's rolling in this place? "
……
"Hmm. I'm not very good at making people talk." Well, if you keep your mouth shut, you'll have to be prepared. "
The evil sword glowed suspiciously.
The difference in power was clear.
The knights were all arrowheads.
I am used to the pain.
I've also been trained to withstand torture.
I am proud to be strong in spirit.
Still, the knight bit his tongue.
Sheila cannot be captured.
I can't stop it.
So at least you don't tell me anything.
The knight did the best he could now.
"Oh... but it looks like backup is rushing in, so I won't die." I'll let you pass this time just in case. "
It was obviously valuable, but Sheila threw the magic items away.
I would have taken it home to dismantle it and analyze it, but that's not her business.
Not to mention it's working in secret.
If so, I thought it would be safer not to bring back the inadvertent items.
However, her prudent behavior was also "incorrect" this time.
