Even if, as a result of the discussions, we cannot say that it has come together, the story begins to converge.

And finally, to suggest something, I took the 'black ring' out of the different space storage and gave it to Mr. Minerva.

"What's this?

"It's a ring that makes it possible to talk to me. It's just a magic trick, I'll give it to you."

"... ok, thanks for taking it"

"So, why don't you make an alliance with me?

"Alliance?"

"Yes, by any chance, I just received the title of Grand Mage at the discretion of the Mage Church earlier. Furthermore, Darms-Aldan and I have just formed an alliance with“ the meaning of surveillance ”. I want to make an alliance with the Beast Nation."

Would it have passed all of a sudden? Mr. Minerva was somewhat surprised by my suggestion.

"I don't mind that, but what kind of alliance exactly is that? I'm sorry, how many minutes? In the past, there was an alliance with a certain Dwarf country, but it didn't work for a long time ago, and the description itself seems uncertain."

I mean, you're oblivious to such things? I can imagine how closed a country it was.

"There is no need for special rituals or troublesome swearing words. Above all, we do it in secret, so it's even more so. The point is, you just have to accept it with your word of mouth. That ring is for that. If you want to destroy your alliance, return that ring. Period is until the Empire is destroyed and peace returns to the Beast Nation."

"... ok. Now, as a sign of alliance, receive this ring."

Beast King who unexpectedly and instantly accepts. Does that mean we can't afford that much by now?

"Then, please ban this matter from speaking out. It is easy to come into Schneizer and other kings. I don't know where the information leaks from, and they say the Empire is always letting spies dive into some country, so as a rule, I don't trust anyone but those who are here right now. Keep this story here alone. Only six people here know this story. All we know about you is Mr. Minerva and Mr. Kayu, and to report to anyone else, no matter how trustworthy you are, stop it."

"Okay. I won't say anything."

"Best wishes. Then the meeting with Schneizel, but this country should stop. Schneizel himself may be a warm, hundred steps away and a benevolent figure, but this is a country with lots of different missing parts. We say only peace, big countries, etc., but these countries have many easy gaps to put on. It breaks immediately depending on the trigger. It was a small country, but I've seen similar countries before. If you're thinking about your country's future, you don't get in touch with Schneizel in the future. If it's possible to talk, you'll hear from Schneizel later. In the first place, this meeting was due to Schneizel's proposal, wasn't it?

"That's right. He set me up."

"Then make this clear already. Earlier, as I explained, Schneizel headed to Pascantine. Apparently, that country was attacked by a dragon's heart. A King of the Eight Kings is a union made up of those who will sooner or later be blinded to that organization. If it's just the Empire, it's still a pain in the ass for a dragon's heart."

When I give the name of a dragon's heart, I always unwittingly glance at three faces. The suggestion was that there were Toa and Suphilia with something similar to suspicion on their faces. From time to time, even Nem, who leans over or meets his eyes, then what did I do with the dragon's heart? That must be what you're worried about. In particular, Sufilia and others believe that it would be better to explain once and for all the reason that the country has been forced to perish. But not now.

"Right... for now, let's just say I'm going back to the country too. I don't know when he'll be back, but I can't help it if he's here. Besides, there's no way the Emperor will know you left the Beast Nation."

"That's better. For more information, we'll go directly to the Beast Country, so wait until then."

"Okay. Thank you. So, what do you say we report back on the country with this ring? It wouldn't be nice to have a bowl match with the use of the Empire."

"No need to contact me. If you stand beside the country, in my case, you will generally consider who is inside. The bad guys can sense me with their abilities, and there's nothing they can sense me with, so no problem."

"Right...... ok"

It doesn't feel like it's falling to my heart. I only briefly describe my abilities, especially. But for me, it's about Oliver, it's about Zephyr, it's about the Empire, it's a lot to do. The first priority is Toa. I want to go to the Devil's Country first.

Then Mr. Minerva, standing up, kneels softly and whispers with Nem.

"Nem, will you stay with Lord Nito?

"I'm Nem's husband. How far will Nem follow? That's... that's my promise to my mother. Besides, for Nem, your husband is an important family. We're family, just like Meemi."

"... right, family"

I just heard superficial things. The truth is, I don't know what kind of emotions Nem has right now. But one day, I wish we could have such a relationship so that we don't have to talk about it.

Previously, Mr. Sharon, who owns a grocery store in Razhausen, said: - "You don't know what the word" master "means..." But now I feel like I only know a little bit. Maybe it's just my imagination.

"Then you have no choice. But, Nem? If you get on a journey, you can always come home, right? The Beast Country is Nem's house. Me and Kayu are waiting for Nem to come home."

That's not until we do something about the Empire, either. Nem could be captured by the Empire as he returns home.

But even though I know I can't go home for Nem, it's a meaningful word. I'm sure I don't know, you can only take a few shackles off Nem. But a little more, Nem needs to be worked up. Because Nem is still small.

"Your husband..."

Then Nem called on me to think about it with a tough eye.

"Nem is Nem. Mother, I remember my father... sometimes. But it's okay! If Nem could stay with your husband, he wouldn't miss you anymore!

"... nem"

Nem is strong. Strong enough not to compare to me. I don't understand where this strength comes from. If I were in a situation like Nem's, I would have thought only of resenting the Empire and killing the Emperor with emotion. But Nem isn't. Nem even said he didn't want me to kill the emperor in itself. It's not Nem, I need to be stronger.

"Oh, okay. Don't worry, Nem."

Then Nem, returning to his usual innocent expression, jumped at Mr. Minerva and spared him a goodbye.

Nem was smiling all the time, but the problem is Mr. Minerva.

I guess I don't like leaving with Nem. In front of the main gate, Nem, waving her hands wide with her little body, looked out of the carriage window forever, looking at her with a lonely, and worried look.

Toa smiles when she sees Nem like that, too. At this time, Nem felt stronger than anyone else.

But there is one thing that bothers me. That's about Sufilia. It's been awhile since we met, and I was Sufilia, who also became less of a madly stained look like before and often smiled, but if it's not my fault, I feel like things have been a little strange since I left school. From time to time, you have such a lonely look that you stared at the distance.

The look on Suphilia's face, in itself, is not in a bad way, it just can't be guessed. Because Sufilia often makes laughs. So what are the thoughts hidden in this faceless expression?

Then I had a few eyes with Suphilia like that. I deviated reflexively, then looked again, and there was a look of Suphilia with a natural smile that I was used to. I go along with it and smile beside the waving nem. But for some reason, it feels so uncomfortable, like there's just a little distance there.

And again, as usual, I divide myself that this is fine now, and I look into this gray sky with my toothless emotions.

Even if you know your emotions, you don't know how they feel. I've been thinking strange lately. A contradictory emotion. The more you can do something, the more you don't know, and the more weight your mind weighs. That's mainly about the three of us, but I'm still supposed to be making progress on this, but for some reason it just adds more holes in my mind, and I'm still better off about Nem, but when it comes to Toa and Suphilia, my heart doesn't rest for some reason.

But I also don't feel that my laziness in handling such emotions is making something worse when I say, 'This is fine now' again. Will this also benefit the abyss?

I felt something for sure at this time.

Silver hair stretching out of the window was in the wind, creating lonely feelings for those who left.

Far from the town of Darmsaldan, Minerva snaps his neck inside the carriage. Then he sighed, closing the window Minerva, pointlessly looking down and looking down at his palm. Watch Minerva like that with a smile that makes you feel half as loving. - Kayu the Dog Clan.

"If you're going to be so sorry, couldn't you have needed some more?

"That's not why. Lord Nito said oh, but I'm a little concerned about Schneizel's behavior. This meeting was a time and again, and it was finally possible to anticipate the timing. It shouldn't be him that makes it so easy. There must be something wrong."

"So that means Pascantin was attacked..." not "

Then Minerva blocks Kayu's uttered words.

"That's not all. I'm not so familiar with the king of Hachi, but if Artemias is doomed and Pascantine comes next, this is an anomaly from me. But to this point, it seems that way to everyone. Just Serena's last words that Nem taught me. - I can't seem to relate to that."

"So it's about the dragon? That the Empire's aim is a dragon crusade?

"Oh, if we exchange Lord Nito's views, was it Black Dragon Carpent Ze Bach? Kayu would know about the rhetoric surrounding the dragon, right?

"Sure... was that the description in the ancient document: 'The breakdown of peace and order awakens the dragons of ancient times'? But it's like a fairy tale..."

"But if the aim of the Empire is to be its ancient dragon, there will be a part of it that can snort at the actions of the Empire that have taken place over the last few decades."

"What do you mean you can snort?

"The fact that he sent in a 'shield of kings', also his real son, and destroyed a great nation called 'Pulstera, the canyon city' and 'Modhern, a land of extreme cold'. What is more, by ruling the Beast Nation and gathering warriors, we strive to strengthen our forces. There is also information that soldiers are being gathered from towns and villages everywhere. Probably means it's still being brought to life by the fact that it's still worth using when it comes to the beast country. It means that all the towns and countries where the empire has emerged have been destroyed, with the exception of Razhausen. But strangely, we just collect them and do nothing more."

"Master Minerva, if you'll excuse me, where the hell is that information?

Minerva then answers his temper with a view of the car window.

"What, I haven't stood still in the castle since then either. He set up a reconnaissance team to gather intelligence."

"Is it a reconnaissance team? If so... you could have told me about it..."

Kayu with a slightly obstinate appearance. That represented the pattern between the two of us.

Minerva is blind to Kayu, who creates grief, and continues his story.

"And above all, destroying is a mystery in itself. Typically, the losing country will then continue to dedicate 'contributions' to the other side. It is, for example, a people, a simple currency, a slave, or all of it. It's the heart of a dragon, but you don't have to kill even the king, do you? But they kill. Which would mean that killing would mean something. So what's the point? ……

"- I mean, the breakdown of peace and order?

"... as it stands, that's what I think"

"No way, for that matter, do you think we're about to start a war? I don't get it. Even if that's the case, it's just unusual for me..."

"Neither do I. That's what Uranos thinks is unusual. But it was unusual from the beginning. That country itself was born after unusual behavior. It didn't start now. But suppose, if the aim is the Black Dragon, why does Uranos target the Dragon? ……

Minerva herself, still half-hearted. However, in the present situation, where only more than one hypothesis can be made, the reflection cannot be stopped. Reasoning to the unusual can only give rise to wrong hypotheses, as much as I can think of, but Minerva thinks it's just right. I mean, this is just a hypothesis, too, but Minerva treads that way when this is closest to the truth.

"That being the case, the problem is with the alliance you have made up with Lord Nito this time. Allow me to say one thing with understanding of your disrespect, isn't it a little frivolous? He was just a kid. Do you really think he's that hero Nito?

"You'll have to admit it, won't you? Whether it was for a moment or not, I must have felt it. That chill I felt during the rising process."

"That's... that's true, though"

"More importantly, he was trusted by Nem. That alone deserves credit. Somewhat, no matter how problematic the thought is, it can't be about people with me. Everyone has an idea. The specific point is to set the scene up again, even then, we can explore each other's compromises. But don't forget, Kayu? We can't afford it. As a result of asking him for help, there is no alternative to relying on Shura's path."

"Shura..."

Kayu doesn't know the heart of the word. I haven't caught up with Minerva's idea.

Minerva still had the power to spot people. What I saw in Nito was vague, but to the extent that I recall the word 'Shura', be it analogy or intuition, I may have seen darkness in Nito.

But whether it's darkness or not, above all, Nem trusts. That alone determined Minerva worthy of credit.

Endless Hirono looking like a car window. Minerva then remembers the conversation between Nito and Toa and looks back again at what Nito is like. The word 'reincarnation' popped up in the conversation. Minerva, in a corner of his head, had in mind the matter of Greyberg's summoning of the brave.

"Well, that's... nito"

And I'll say something windy that I understand, but Minerva herself, I haven't grasped about Nito yet. But by the time I have a meeting with Nito, I will think and think about Nito's expression and conversation earlier in my mind if I don't understand anything at all.

And then one, "What were those red eyes?" Ask yourself. But that's all I don't know. Minerva, who thinks about the Nito race, whether it be subhuman or human, but has never heard of it, either, such as reddening his eyes, had a question mark in the back of his dusk expression.

"Eye of a fool..."

This is one of the inheritances that is spreading among humans. Red eyes are called the 'eyes of the fool', and it is also a symbol of ominousness. Heritage gradually penetrates life, becoming common sense, sometimes calling, for example, the bright red eyes of the angry.

But the inheritance has its original meaning. So Minerva thinks. Nevertheless, without the answer being derived, Minerva tried to utter his name in the eyes of that fool in half, as possessed.

But when the answer passed with the scene, after all, only vague questions remained in Minerva.
