Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"What about the truth?

Although Linonclair Leave-Lucion's inquiry was abrupt, it was of course the right time for Leongand, and not particularly surprising.

The office specially set up for the nobility was large and well maintained. I guess a bunch of high-end condiments are a hobby of what used to make this room my territory. It's never a bad thing, but it wasn't exactly what Leongand's taste was.

The same goes for paintings adorned with walls. The portrait of a smiling boy must certainly be artistic and wonderful. But Leongand was driven by the urge to enter the room and remove the portrait and throw it out the window.

It is undoubtedly a chill.

The boy was Leongando Reus-Gandia - when Leongando was ten years old, and his aunt Mirandia had him write to a painter on sale.

The prince with the smile of the red-faced beautiful boy himself seemed to have no worries about the future, and perhaps took for granted the future of hope full of light.

My teeth itch, but I can't help it. I had to change because then it was a few years later.

Leongand, taking his gaze off his portrait, turned to a large window. Can you say that your face in polished windowsills is the future itself more than a decade after that portrait?

"You mean Setuna?

"Is he really the trump card on my brother?

Since when did my sister's words come to have sharp blade-like cleavage - Leongand couldn't even respond immediately to Linon's query from behind.

It was cloudy weather that spread out the window. A crowd of leaded clouds with lids over Maldar's head gave him a look that seemed like a tremendous tear, and proceeding through the township overlooking the office was about the soldiers in training.

The office, which currently houses two Leongands and Linonclair, was on the fifth floor of the building, commonly known as the Muldar Tower, built around a circular tower high enough to overlook the entire city. It was on the north side of Maldar visible through the window, and the township, which had undergone rapid fortification in the past six months, had the impression that it was far from peaceful.

That would be it, too.

The battle is about to begin.

"No way."

Leongand laughed small as he looked back at Linon. I didn't expect you to ask me that question, no matter how much. He took the liberty of assuming that his sister would know, but nevertheless, I have to say, it's a low-quality question.

"That's just a thought. There's no way an armed summoner with no idea what a horse's bone is is gonna be on a trump card, is there? Though he defeated Zalwarn's son Lancaine-Bunell, his strength is unknown. I invited him because his teacher was Azmaria-Altemax."

With that said, Leongand was remembering the look on that boy's face. Though I am well aware that judging one by appearance is something else, the boy did not seem to be an armed summoner.

Armed summoning technique is a technique that people can finally exercise by accumulating deviant knowledge and training enough to exhale blood reflexes. If talent alone can't handle it, most of the effort is to build a surgical ceremony and so on.

Yes, it should give you a sense of what an armed summoner is, and what should be called the fruit of intelligence and training because of its appearance.

That boy didn't have that kind of thing. Of course, there will be armed summoners who will not make you feel intelligent, and we cannot abandon the possibility that he is such a person. But Leongand's intuition regarded Setsuna as extremely close to the average person.

Though...

"Is Azmaria that dragon killer?

Leongand was satisfied that some surprise had been engraved on Linon's iron skin. But that's just a flash, too. Linon's expression had quickly regained his usual pity and, at first glance, turned into some disgruntled look.

"Well, if you can connect with the most powerful armed summoner in the legend, nothing but survival, right? Well, that's very suspicious, too, because it's a human testimony of amnesia."

"Memory... Loss?

It wouldn't have been impossible for Linon to have a surprising look on his face. Leongand twisted his neck when he first saw the report. Instead of amnesia, it was written in a lot of detail that he was an Azmarian apprentice. Though I didn't even think from the end that everything in the report was true.

"Eighty-nine, you must be lying. I don't know why you lied to him like that, and I don't think he has the guts to penetrate that lie."

"How could such a suspicious person!

"No, but you do. It is true that Setsuna defeated Lancaine and prevented the damage from spreading. If we let Lancaine go wild like that, we might have turned it into scorched earth, not just Karan, but even Krebourg, Merrell, or Gandion"

Though Leongand said so, in fact, he also didn't know it was going to be that far. Faria-Belfaria was on her way to Karan. She arrived after it all seemed to be over, but if Setuna-Kamiya hadn't defeated Lancaine-Bunel, Karan would have been engulfed in a great fire, even when she reached Karan.

Setuna, who was critically wounded dying in the battle against Lancaine, took his life only because the arrival of Faria was just after the battle. If her arrival had been delayed enough to allow Lancaine to escape, Setuna would have died. That was about the right time.

And Faria should be able to cross with Lancaine enough. If she can be serious, we're talking about.

"Yes, Setuna saved my Gandhia from destruction."

That was definitely an overstatement, but it was also one fact, however. It wasn't like Setsuna didn't show up and there was no chance that Faria would lose to Lancaine.

I don't even have to think about it.

"... it's fine that my brother thinks so. But I disagree with the idea of adding something of uncharacteristic character to the military. That inexplicable decision allowed Lancaine-Bunell to infiltrate and caused a great fire in Karan."

I guess Linon's harsh manners and chilling tones are nothing more than, naturally, sincere thoughts about this country. Leongand nodded quietly, accepting her uncontrollable feelings.

"Yes. Exactly. But I think you'll be okay with him, won't you?

"Where does that optimistic thought on my brother come from?

To her familiar tone, Leongando just had to laugh. No matter how much my real brother is, it won't be his attitude toward the king. No matter, I don't imitate authority to that extent.

"Is it because we met in person?

"That's it!

"Plus, he's got surveillance on him."

Leongand told him calmly against the furious Linon. It is a common story that the more expensive their emotions, the cooler they become.

"Surveillance?"

"He called himself Kamiya. The association will have to keep an eye on him, too, won't it?

Leongand had remembered Faria's unspeakable expression, which he had wished to accompany him to Mardar. I guess she has her reasons. There's a reason I can't give up.

Otherwise, she can't leave Karan on her own. Faria is an officer of the Callan branch of the Continental Summoners Association. But she left Karan behind.

Faria must be carrying something more important than her job at Karan.

"Kamiya...... no way!?

Ha, Linon. Her expression was instantly full of amazement, naturally in a way, but it could also be described as a slightly too slow reaction.

"We're talking about possibilities. It's worth watching just because you're an Azmarian apprentice."

Leongand, once again, turned to the office window. I shake my head thinking behind my head of the beauty of the fortress of Barcei, which would be able to be worn far beyond the polished windowsill. Whenever I think of the fortress of Barcei, at the same time it was remembered by only one name.

(Quon-Kamiya...... or)

Six months ago, he was an armed summoner who suddenly appeared and was the biggest factor in the fall of the fortress of Barcei.
