The operation to recapture the heart of the Waila Empire has begun.
There was a call from the riff. I waited until Ruina.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, at a time like this"
We should be out in less than a few hours.
Everyone is having a wonderful time. Praying and practicing.
"I didn't do anything in particular, so you don't have to worry about it."
Rif's expression was serious as it seemed.
"I actually got a call from Sufi."
Really?
I've tried to contact you over and over again.
However, it does not pass through the guild. I can't go to the Holy Republic. There was nothing I could do. Since Spi contacted me, I couldn't help but let out a rough voice.
However, Riff's face was not fragrant.
Wait for nature and ominous predictions to continue.
"Perhaps you didn't know about Reuters' rampage." It seemed like I noticed now... but I lost contact. Reuters just showed up. "
"That's..."
Something must have happened to that little girl.
Riff, who was reluctant, and Ruina, who didn't want to say anything ominous, spoke of a situation that could be easily deduced from me.
So, you called me in to rescue Sufi, right?
Oh, that's right.
"No, it's not."
Riff nodded.
But Luina shook her head.
They both have different opinions.
"What do you mean, what did I get called in for?"
"First, I'll tell you about the state of war." The heart of the Waila Empire is fortified by Imperial and Combined Forces. However, with the survival and authority of Spiffy, we can devote some of our strength to the fight. In addition, it will also contribute to the reign after the victory. "
"However, the Combined Forces are still gathering numbers." It was troublesome to have all the powerful people here. And I could rule without Spi. In that case, the first priority is to ensure that the Weyra Empire is recaptured. ”
I see, the two opinions seem to be completely divided.
That's why you called me.
My answer is simple.
"Help Spi. I don't think war is complicated."
Riff and Ruina were expecting my answer.
Both of them show faces of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
But they didn't deny it.
“Well, I knew Zid would do that.”
"I'm sorry. If you hadn't told me about Spi, you'd have helped us reclaim the Weyra Empire... for me."
Later, it's just troublesome to get angry
Riff laughs mischievously and diverts his gaze. It must be shadowy.
The workmanship has a love of appearance.
A desire to embrace sprang up, but for now, Spi is the priority.
Where's Spi?
"It's a sacred republic. If you go to the capital of God, you'll be able to find Zeed's magic to help you."
"All right. Thank you. Say hello to everyone."
A corner of the city where it is now based.
A special spell was cast to avoid a magical ambush.
You have to get out of here once to do the metastasis.
I finished greeting the riffs and walked out into the hallway.
I felt a sign and looked behind me. Ruina was following me.
What's the matter?
Hmmm...
Ruina approaches. It seems like my body will stick to it.
You accidentally take a step back and you hit a wall.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Zid, I admit you're the only one."
"Just me...?"
"When this battle is over, the nations of the Jewish tribe that were united by the 'disciples of Astaire' will lose their cohesion." As a result, the Waila Empire, which has the strongest but most subordinate state, will assume the hegemony. I'm not at all dependent on an organization that doesn't understand that. It wasn't one of the greats. It's truly the strongest nation. "
"Are you already doing that kind of calculation?"
I said it in a slightly dazzling way.
But Ruina kept going unwittingly.
"Waila, come to the Empire."
Ruina's hand touches my chest.
"I thought you said no."
"Yeah, I've been turned down twice."
Twice?
"The first time was when we invaded Stillbeats." The second time was a while ago.
"Ahh..."
Memories are subtly evoked.
However, there was no time to enjoy the memories of the past, and Ruina's hand crawled into the demon's body.
"Is there anything you want?"
"... especially..."
So what do you want?
……
Quickly staring back at me in silence, trying to cut it up.
But Ruina laughed against her expectations.
"Don't worry, you can use me." Let's make whatever world you want. A world where only women of your choice are available, a world where your favorite meals and drinks can be served at any time, and the best environment where you can sleep forever. That's good. You can have as much fun as you want after world peace. "
Release her hand from me and Ruina continues to exaggerate.
"Just once." This one time, the world will be yours! Are you embarrassed about Queena and the others? Then I'll set you up so you won't see me. I didn't have to worry about the riff. You can stay under me. This one time, it will come true. "
I'm sure that's an attractive suggestion.
If I obeyed Ruina, I might be able to carry everything conveniently.
But I shook my head left and right.
"No matter how much we talk, it's no use."
When I try to leave, Ruina grabs my hand.
“Why? Your sense of worth is going to be updated. There's no need to stick to it."
"That's Ruina's way of thinking, isn't it? It's not mine.... and......"
It's a little hard to say, but I look Ruina in the eye and say it clearly.
"Ruina is scared. You've been talking about me all this time. My happiness, my ease. I can't see Ruina."
Ruina opens her eyes to my words.
I felt like I was wearing her chest somewhere.
"Very well, let's be honest."...... I'm flirting with you. "
Ruina's face clouded.
Somewhere it was drifting with mourning, reflecting aspects that Empress Ruina had no idea about. It had the power to stop me.
"I am often misunderstood. I think I'm a strong man myself. But if anyone was stronger than me, Fu would be like this. And you're the only one who's ever shown up in my life. Even if you look like this, you're actually a pretty good type."
"Ruina, I keep telling you, I--"
"Tell me the world you want."
"It's a world with Spi." It's a peaceful world. "
When she heard my answer, she raised her mouth like Ruina had given up.
"Zed needs my help."
……
"Have you ever thought about a wedding? I think Queena and the others are waiting for you."
"... wedding?"
"It's a ritual where people who love each other pledge their love." There are many women who admire it. You may be saying that marriage is just a child, but you've never thought about it. "
W-Was there such a thing.....
But Queena and Sheila didn't do anything like that.....
“I know, I guess I didn't even get to talk about it. But I would have arranged it if I'd stayed by your side. Achieve a result that everyone is satisfied with. Society and relationships need these kinds of rituals sometimes. But you have me. I'll take care of it."
That's why, and Ruina continue.
“If the Weyra Empire dies and I lose my power, promise me you'll help me and protect me.”
Yeah, now I know how she feels.
I must have been anxious.
I feared being taken down because I had reigned in the Waila Empire.
That's why you stopped me, talked to me, and said Fuku.
"- I'll protect you. I'll help you if Ruina is in danger, like Spiffy."
”Hahaha... it feels like I've been seen through for the first time”
Ruina looked up at the sky. It's not a ceiling, it's looking somewhere far away.
Then he walked up to me with a clean smile. Your face gets closer to the point where you can breathe out. A tidy face sucked in comes before my eyes -- crossing over.
"It's too convenient for me to promise you anything."... rest assured, I will be with you when the battle against the Waila Empire is over. ”
Luina whispered in her ear.
I could understand how dull I was.
I'm sure this is a confession of love.
The Tholian experience is alive.
I wonder if that's a good thing for the world...... aside.
"... isn't that somehow convenient?" Either way, after all, I'm going to be next to Ruina. "
"You refuse to be ready for a girl?"
When you say that... it's hard to deny.
But,
Quena and the others' feelings are also important
I'd rather spend a lot of time with Queena and Sheila. I'm sure they feel the same way.
"Okay, so it's my first job." I'll let them recognize me. "
"No, that's not what I meant."
I thought I turned you down...! "
"--Best of luck to you, Zid."
Before long, Ruina will be gone.
... no, you talk too much.
Now we have to go under Spiffy.
