Returning from the royal capital to Bandhu was much more difficult than poor march training. Rion hastened his feet. Originally, I was going to stop by each city and check the situation with the resisters.

The reason he gave up his job as a resister was to return to Bandou as soon as possible and concentrate on his territory. It's not just an apprentice guard knight. The guard maids were much more sick of them. Naturally, there are differences between men and women, and the training is also uneven.

To complicate matters, Rion did not do this with harassment, but rather seriously wanted to train them. Even Venus couldn't complain to Rion, who usually uttered harsh words and gently encouraged him when it was really hard. Some of the guard maids, other than Venus, may even be able to fool Rion.

At that point, at least the road ended without any problems, as Eriel did not pinch the nails tightly, but rather held them up with the stiffness of a stake. At least, he says, since he cannot return to the territory, he cannot be careless.

Leon has a bad habit that Airiel cannot do. This is a ridiculous habit of embracing when pressed, even though she has no interest in the body of any woman other than Aeriel.

The hurdles may be low because they do not value the value of acting with women, but it is unbearable for Eriel. Aeriel was born into an aristocratic family and, apart from personal feelings, as a wife, was tolerant of women. The problem is, no matter how angry you get, Rion won't understand. Acting with Airiel and the rest of the woman are completely different in Lyon. That's both happy and troubled for Aeriel.

This is just an abyss, anyway, the Lions return to the land of Bandhu with surprising speed.

"... something is amazing"

Rion muttered looking at the hustle and bustle of the city of Kamark.

"Is not my territory?"

"Huh? Is it a territory?"

"So why are you surprised?"

"I'm surprised when I've been away from the territory for a long time and returned after a long absence, because it's more lively than before."

Rion intentionally emphasizes the length. I know it has nothing to do with the Sol, but Sol, the Guard, still seems like Lion to the kingdom itself.

"... I don't need a lord?"

Sol does not end just as he is told.

"What did you say?"

"Isn't that the case?"

"... It's the same as saying the country doesn't need a king."

"You didn't say that?"

"Same thing. Indeed, it seems that our guard knights have a radical ideology."

"... I'll stop talking about this."

"Good"

Such an unrelenting quarrel has already taken place. The relationship deepened, but they were still far away.

After quarreling with Sol, Rion is watching the city again. The boulevard is so vibrant that anyone who knows the former Kamark will have the illusion that he or she has come to another city.

There are also a number of stores that Leon does not know about. When Sol was told, he came to his head, but Leon was unbearably glad that the land of Bandhu had not stopped his recovery even without himself.

"... looks happy"

Sol talks without hesitating to Leon. This is conscious. Rion rarely talks to you, so you have to talk to yourself.

"That's right, it wasn't like this when I first came to this city."

"You can do politics as well as war."

"That's not the case. As you said, the city will develop without a lord. The people who live there must work hard."

"……Really"

If you are not afraid of having a quarrel, you can sometimes hear these words. Sol feels that these words are the basis of Rion. Rion's eyes look brighter than usual when talking without being aware of the other person's status or position.

“Oh?

Rion's gaze points toward those who are a bit ahead. Not a welcome from the castle. False and the people in the store. Sol doesn't know about the Fors, but Rion's reaction quickly proved that he was a forgiveness.

"Please go home, General"

"Oh, right now. I'm busy but bad."

"No. The shop is a calm place after we've greeted the overnight guests."

"Yes, but it's something terrible."

"It seems that rumors about the safest place in the kingdom are spreading. By the way, it is natural."

It is not a rumor that the registries intended to spread. In fact, Bandhu is now the safest place to trade with foreign countries, including the road leading to the royal capital.

"... I see. The number of stores has increased."

"Is that the command of the general?"

"that's right, but"

Actively accept and support new entrants. Certainly, Leon was instructed, but he didn't think it would be so far. The fact that the number of stores has increased so far is not only due to the invitation. After all, the fact that it is a safe place where people gather is widespread.

"A city where you can find safe and unusual things. This is the current mark."

"rare?"

"There are so many things that I can't easily explain. It's a good idea to walk around when you have the time. There are a variety of things to sell, such as food, daily necessities, and agricultural tools."

"Ok, I see it. Well, I have a lot to talk about, but it's bad if it gets in the way of work. I'll come again at another time."

In response to Rion's words, everyone complains at once. It's been a long time since I saw Lion's face. Everybody has something to talk about.

Calmly relaxed, Rion left. Rion also needs to get back to work quickly. Even though I wasn't there, I always got the information, but still I don't know much.

"... can we hear something strange?"

Also, Sol talks to Leon.

"What?"

"The women just mentioned. That is ..."

"... is it a profession?"

"Oh, yeah. No, I'm not going to be discriminating in another profession. It's like she was close to similar women in the capital city."

What Sol says is the triumphal ceremony in the royal capital. Rion's return was greeted by folks in favela, but of course there were many whores. Sol was watching nearby where he was clinging to Leon with a prostitute-like aggression.

"... well, I know a lot."

"That's probably right"

"I don't mean they've dealt with them. On the contrary, I have no relationship with her."

Rion made an excuse for not wanting Sol to make a strange misunderstanding, but this was a bit extra. Sol had doubts about what if it wasn't business.

"... So why are you so liked?"

Sol decides to hit that question straight into Lion. Anyway, I want to know various things.

"It's ... that's it."

No way, I can't say I'm the master of a prostitute. That's still good, but it's hard to find a connection to the back society.

"What is that?"

"... I'm a prostitute because my parents are upbringing, right?"

It is a lie that I thought about immediately to make it a demon. However, it is not necessarily a lie. Rion knows that the adult who raised her is a woman. Women's work in favela is limited.

"... were you raised by a prostitute?"

As expected this story was out of Sol's imagination. Sol is wide open with surprise.

"Is it bad?"

"Oh no, not really."

"It's no use demonizing, because I've been prejudiced since I was convinced. I understand those feelings immediately."

Pointing at his eyes, Rion tells Sol. It's nothing compared to the odd-eyed process of being raised by a prostitute. That kind of feeling is also included.

"……Really"

Sol doesn't know what he was doing. However, I felt a little understandable why Rion's complex character was born. Most of the misunderstandings are not bad for Sol.

When I came to the castle, I was met again. This time, of course, the castles. But this is a surprise to Leon. There should be no minions in Kamark's castle who would greet Rion.

It was not the ministry that was waiting, but the diners Jean.

"Hey. If you're away for a while, do you see such treatment?"

"I don't have time to listen to such jokes."

Rion's joke was at least not received by Septo.

"Did you have no time, did you have any hurry?"

In the event of an emergency, the Black Party should come to report. Rion has not received such a report.

"The messenger has just come."

"Essential?-It's fast, did you overtake us?"

When you hear the messengers, the only messengers coming to Lion's head are messengers from the royal capital.

"No. The messengers are from the Ox kingdom."

"……Yes?"

Sept's answer was so surprising that he didn't get into Lion's mind.

"So the messenger of the neighboring Ox kingdom has appeared."

"What to do?"

"The prince wants to visit Kamark as a friendship messenger. He came to tell it."

"... I don't know the meaning. Should a friendship messenger go to the capital city?"

"I don't know what's going on there. Anyway, I'm coming to Kamark, so I'm gonna ask you."

"Hmm? Wait a minute. Where is that messenger?"

"I returned to my home country, wanting to inform you of your return quickly."

"Don't get my consent?"

"……That's right"

"Hey?"

This neighborhood is the savage of the Sep. However, Septo has not studied separately as a diplomat. It happened to negotiate with a neighboring country on the issue of a demon, and just happened to take on a less busy Sept.

It's hard to blame for failure, and Rion doesn't mean that.

"That was bad, but it's a story from a neighboring country, and that's where the prince comes. To be honest, we don't know how to get it."

"... Would you like to meet me? I thought that would be the case."

"Well, don't say that, the messenger seems to have stayed in this city for a long time and waited for you to return. I think it will come without passing. ''

"I need to hurry up. I'm in charge of ... Aeriel, the most detailed of which is."

"... well, I'll try it."

Airiel also has some social knowledge and does not know diplomacy. I'm not confident, but I'm sure he's better than the average people, so I decided to take it.

"After that, Konoe. Help you."

"Huh?"

"Because you're a guard, have you ever guarded the welcoming place?"

"That's it, but is it different from welcoming?"

"The people at this place know nothing more than you, so don't complain."

"... I am a knight"

"Oh, I can't hear anything other than the word to do."

"... I don't know if I fail."

"Okay. So two people ... two people? I guess you're not going to give Aeriel any weirdness?"

"Can't you wake up?"

"Ah, what's the way to say that? You don't understand the charm of Eriel?"

"Well, how do I answer it?"

Speaking of it, it's evident to be complained of having a weird mood. It is correct to not answer in this way.

"... Well, it's good. I want to know what I need to do, but don't look into other countries. I don't know what kind of intelligence they are doing."

And it's not enough to risk the black party. Rion has no authority to negotiate anything with foreign countries. Rion believes that he knows the Ox kingdom, and that he is likely to be a mere messenger of friendship.

"I'll explore after you've been greeted. If you're at home, you have plenty of hands."

That's it for the neighboring country. Leon has a lot of other stories to ask. I moved to the meeting room and decided to talk. From the first day of his arrival, Leon has been busy.

◇◇◇

I entered the meeting room, but I couldn't make a meeting right away. Before that, I had a lot to do. First of all.

"I'm sorry"

Mercury bowed deeply and apologized as Rion entered the conference room. But Leon doesn't know what it is.

"... Did you do anything?"

"Well, no. I haven't had any problems."

"So why do you apologize?"

"My father betrayed Rion."

It was already known to Bandeau that the keels had continued to defeat the demon, away from Rion. Mercury took it betrayal.

"... is the betrayal exaggerated?"

"It's a betrayal because you're acting out of the command of Leon-san.

"I can't disobey the kingdom's orders. I have acknowledged it."

"However……"

Mercury is not convinced that he has followed that kingdom. The Blue Party, which had been aiming for independence from the kingdom, is working for the kingdom. Mercury feels a subtlety. The reaction is that Mercury is young.

"At least, the keel has not betrayed. I know that."

"eh?"

"I've been asking me to find out how this happened. It seems that I'm thinking differently, but it seems Keel decided for Bandeau. It's not a betrayal."

"……Is that so"

Hearing Lion's words, Mercury is relieved. From the beginning, Mercury does not believe that his father has betrayed Rion. But Mercury wasn't told why and had no excuse. But without any excuse, Rion knew the reason. For now, it's safe.

"Once the mission is over, the entire army will return to Bandeau. Betraying it is exaggerated."

"Yes"

Not only the keel but others do not consider it a betrayal. Rion needed to show this to dispel the fears of the other parties. However, there is no telling of the motives that should have been investigated. I think it's better not to let them know.

The motive of Bandu Four Party for Maria, and Prince Arnold for themselves, is that they all know the reality. Despite their reputation in defeating the witches, they knew that it was a dream story, as they won and won the kingdom where the Knights of the Guard and the Knights of the Kingdom Knights were. Originally, I thought so deeply in my heart, but by actually seeing and interacting, I had to admit that it was an unchangeable fact. Independence of Bandhu is impossible.

The idea after admitting this fact broke into two.

Abandoned with Aperor Kelp of the Yellow Party, he thought that the role of Bandu as a member of the kingdom should be honored under the upcoming king, Prince Arnold. The Red Party Cassis Route.

Kiel, on the other hand, thought that Bandou's future should be left to Rion. You should think about what to do with the next bandu with Lion. And Green Party Mojito Grün agreed.

The reason why they are acting together with Aperol and Cassis is that they think with Rion that they should be responsible for the next generation of bandeau. Kiel is still far from other leaders. There is no sign of shrinking. Then Rion cannot take root in the land of Bandhu. The current leaders should take a step back and leave it to young people of the same age as Rion.

That is the idea of the four leaders that Rion examined. This is not a betrayal in the sense that we are thinking about Bandu. But knowing that the thoughts of the four leaders are broken may break the thoughts of those who remain in Bandhu. With that in mind, Leon does not speak.

"Now, start the meeting."

"Huh ...?"

Mercury's eyes turned here for the first time to Sol, who was behind Rion. Sol in the place where he should be standing.

"... Who are you?"

"Oh, I haven't greeted me yet.

"It's Konoe !?"

Listening to Sol's introduction, Mercury is staring. Clearly misunderstood.

"King's guard, not my guard"

Rion explained that he was trying to correct Mercury's misunderstanding.

"Oh, did you? Yes, Rion's guard is my job."

Mercury looks relieved. However, Sol responded to Mercury's words.

"... You're Konoe?"

"What is it? Is there a complaint?"

"Are you capable of serving Viscount Frey as a guard?"

"It's an ability?"

"Is it strong enough to protect? Is it smart enough to give you advice? Is it really trusted as a guard in the first place?"

"... I can't tell you!"

Since there is nothing to affirm, Mercury has no choice but to shout.

"I'm good at it. I'm also a knight of the guard.

"... don't judge it's not right"

"So prove it's right."

"It's fine! I'll fight me! I'll make my power known!"

"Oh, that's good! I'll tell you that Konoe isn't something he can say lightly!"

Two people who have been excited for some reason. This is annoying for Rion, who wants to start a meeting.

"Please do it later or on your own. I'm meeting now."

Rion broke into the cold, just as the two were hot.

"……see you later"

With Mercury's words, the battle of Sol will be turned over at a later date. If Leon doesn't approve, Mercury has no point in fighting. And Sol didn't realize it, but wanted it.
