"What are you going to do?

In a place where silence reigned, it was Waldo who opened his mouth first.

Direct negotiations with King Gandia have been concluded, and the faces that were the lords of the White Shield are gathered in the halls of the mansion where they are lodged. Even when it comes to negotiations, they are to the extent of presenting each other's terms, and full-fledged negotiations will take place once again the day. At that time, this one will have to head to Myram's palace, but that's not a big deal. Even if things like when Graham raided us await us, the White Shield is confident to survive. Most importantly, if King Leongand intended to do so, the incident would have occurred only at the time of this negotiation. And it was this one, not the other, who made the case.

The attempted murder of King Leongand by Illis was ignored at Leongand's discretion. There will be enough negotiating material for Gandhia, but it may be because it is a matter to make it a problem. Members attacked me where I went to negotiate directly with the mercenary group White Shield - if that's all, I'll be able to publicly disprove it. But if you resist, Illis might argue. She was the subject and victim of an organization known as the extrajudicial agency in which Gandhia was buried in the darkness of history.

We want to avoid revealing the existence of foreign jurisdictions, even as gandia. Most likely, it is King Leongand's personal judgment rather than Gandhia's.

Quon learned about the dark side of Gandhia, a foreign law agency, regardless of what Iris told him. Initially, she tried to assassinate Quong. Past information was important in keeping us company. The White Shield doesn't reject anything, but it's important to know the past. That's why I listened to her and drew her in on it.

aliens coordinated in a foreign law agency. That was who Iris was. Heterogeneity seems to mean an ability that humans cannot inherently possess, and researching and developing it was the purpose of the foreign law agency. Foreign law agencies were devastated by the hands of Leongando and others, and Illis said that the noise was multiplied by his escape from Gandhia, picked up by neighboring Azark, and driven out into the assassination of Quong after an extraordinary bend.

I missed the point. Anyway, on the Gandhian side, I guess I didn't want to turn up the story about foreign law enforcement officials. It was gratifying, even as a quon, to ignore the rampage of Illis. I couldn't complain about that fact being used for negotiating material, and I'm not going to complain about it. but leongand never touched iris during the negotiations. That's just as true for his neighbors, and that means he kept his orders on the spot.

And the demands from Gandia were extremely simple.

I want the Gandian army to join me as a mercenary in the next war, that's all. Perhaps Gandia expects that the ensuing war will be the most harsh. That's why I've been trying to make contact with the White Shield, which has just become free. More than six months have passed since the formation of the White Shield, but there has never been contact from Gandia before. If you try Gandhia, it would be too worn because you didn't want to negotiate with the direct cause of the fall of the Fortress Balsar. I was simply not blessed with a battlefield that required the Quons.

But Gandhia needed the White Shield this time. Despite having the power of a black spear that never existed before.

The opponent Gandhia would then fight was not explicitly indicated, but that would be fear of information leakage. No, in view of the different information, it is something that everyone is likely to know where to fight. Still, there is a possibility of attacking a different country than that expected. Flying information may be a false statement and a false statement to alarm the real goal.

However, Quon decided that it would be roughly as expected.

Zalwarn.

It is a large country among a small group of continental nations. Especially in the central part, it can be called the largest nation. Powerful military capabilities and luxurious funds and resources deserve a threat even if they were not depleted by repeated civil strife. For Gandia, who took in Logner, it was an enemy country that would surely hit and one that had to be defeated.

That's the same thing for Zalwarn. If you try Zalwarn, they took away the country logner. That anger won't even subside unless we defeat Gandhia. And if we don't get it back as soon as possible, Zalwarn's prestige will fall to the ground.

Both, there have been fluctuations in battle power this past month.

Little information on Zalwarn comes in, but apparently we're talking about a restructuring of the army. And rumors are also coming in that General Gray-Barzelg has disobeyed. If that's true, should I say that it was a huge pain for Zalwarn and that Gandia had a gap to get into?

Gandia fully absorbed the Logner army. That not only made up for the lost force in the fight against Logner, but also gained more fighting power. Don't forget to replenish your troops. The army was restructured and turned into an army culminating in the Great General. I could also do something called the Royal SS. Setuna Zenon-Kamiya leads the Lion's Tail squad.

Setuna Zenon-Kamiya was still a boy known to Quon. Kamiya-san (Kamiya-san). Who is a high school student of the same year and thinks he is his best friend on the one hand. When I was summoned here, I thought I'd never see him again, but I didn't even think I'd be summoned to him. I guess I should be thankful if my destiny let me pull it off, and I was glad I looked fine. Most importantly, he wasn't at the negotiating table, and I'm afraid he didn't have time to exchange words.

"Right..."

Quon looked around together. Swell, Waldo, Mana and Graham are sitting on the couch surrounding the table. The table is lined with tea brewed by the White Shield's housekeeper and cakes taken from the city. It's a qualitative cake and I don't have raw cream or anything on it.

Iris wasn't here. She is reflecting. I shouldn't have intended to crush the negotiations on her. I guess I just couldn't contain my emotional outbursts. Gandia's foreign law agency has forced her to stop being human.

"I was wondering if I might put it off."

Swell opened his mouth quietly.

"If we wait, Zalwarn will come in contact with us, too. Anyway, we don't have a contract with anywhere."

"Are you going to negotiate with Zalwarn and catch the contract?

"I don't think it's a bad idea to increase the value of the organization,"

Graham tunes in to Swell.

"Please wait. I guess the other guy didn't decide to be Zalwarn, did he?

"No, it's the same as it's been decided. The octopus over Gandhia's eyes is Zalwarn, and there are circumstances where Zalwarn can't leave Gandhia alone. The clash between the two is inevitable. No, I guess it's already started under the water."

"As Lord Waldo was told. I can't think of anything else to sum up the information I've got."

"So the White Shield will prevail better," he said?

"I don't think so."

Quon denied Mana's idea to a small extent.

"Sure, that would be a lot of fighting power if we joined them. But it's hard for us to move the big picture. That's what I've said before. In an invincible unit, you cannot move a battle station. Just..."

"Just?"

"Me and Setuna, we could talk about something else."

Quon's chest jumped on an imaginary drawing drawn on the back of his brain. White shields and black spears together. That's true, too, but I'm going to be excited just to imagine, such as fighting Setuna shoulder to shoulder. Regardless, I would be careful with the look in front of my people, but it might have been dangerous if I had thought about it when I was alone in the room.

"If you align..."

"I want to live up to my contract with Gandia."

"I agree with that. It's a good opportunity to fight the Black Spear and see it up close. I don't know how to be with each other."

"I have no objection."

"Same to the right"

Seeing that all three agreed, Quon turned his attention to the deputy chief.

"What about Mr. Swell?

"Even if I obey the commander's will. In the first place, Gandia's offer is more than I expected. You weren't dissatisfied with that."

"Then why was Grandpa so reluctant?

"Don't be reluctant. Because Gandhia's purpose is clear. So, until I was on my guard. I can see the harshest spot for battle."

"That being said, it's usual for us to be put out in a war zone, isn't it?

Waldo tried to fool Swirl.

That's true. The mercenary group White Shield is expected as an invincible army. That's how I've sold it, so it's also natural to expect it and respond to it. Fighting under the protection of an invincible shield while withstanding a harsh attack can also be described as the daily tea meal of the White Shield. Still, I guess I'm worried from a swirl who's not on the battlefield. And that worry doesn't mean you don't trust Quon. Just in case.

For everything, absolutely not.

Even an invincible shield doesn't make sense not to activate guardianship.

Most importantly, Kuon has to do something about it. I work in training to bring out the performance of the Shield of Messiah for that time. The duration of the shield is growing, and I realize that the power of guardianship itself is becoming stronger. Summoning arms are not growing. It opens up a little bit of the power hidden in the white shield. I can't imagine what would happen if I could free everything.

"It's my job to protect everyone. So don't worry."

When I told him, Swell's eyes glowed dull.

When Quon returned to the room filled with himself, Illis was waiting. I guess I've been waiting a long time. In one corner of the bed, he was in the middle of nowhere.

She flew in no time before she discovered Quon.

"Quon...... sorry"

He was hugged, but he didn't want anything. I can see nothing that Illis is raving about. Her past experiences just blew her reason away. It's not her fault. The bad news is the people who carved her heart trauma, the quon who couldn't manage her behavior while grasping the heart of such an Illis.

"I promised to help Quon. That was all I had. Yet I did that. What am I supposed to do? How can I be forgiven by Kuon?

"You're not the bad one"

"But the fact that I did it doesn't change. Worst for the White Shield."

Before Illis could finish, Quon let go of her body. Look me in the eye, I wanted to talk to you. I can't even look at Iris' face while he's holding me. The always resolute face now looked like a crying girl.

"You did nothing. Nobody saw anything."

In the words of Quon, confusion arose in the gray eyes of Illis.

"Quon, what are you talking about? Indeed I am."

"No, that's what happened. So you don't have to worry about anything."

Thanks to Leongand's driving, it did. Leongand also has hindsight. He remembered about Illis, and he hadn't forgotten about the foreign law agency. Although I once heard from Illis that Gandia's foreign law agency was crushed by him.

"But......!

"Then we'll talk fast."

It was the voice of a poisonous woman that sounded to block the voice of Illis.

My spine wasn't only frozen because of the poison lurking in the woman's voice. The instantly indoor-filled killer wrapped Kuon's consciousness as if it were filthy. And a woman appears by the window. It stains the space where nothing should have happened. I lose words to the appearance that I can only say when I stain it out. Unclear colors become clearer, and the blurred contours become definitive.

It seemed to converge into the appearance of a blackened woman. My grey eyes are looking at Iris, not Quon.

Quon couldn't move.

"Sister Arya? Why!?"

Ilis, looking back at the woman, shouts a dismaying voice.

Quon is surprised by what Ulis said, that Ulis has two sisters coordinated in the same extrajudicial agency. My oldest daughter Arya and my youngest daughter Ur. If the words of Illis were true, it would be Arlia who has now appeared indoors. And it was the unexpected appearance of a woman named Arya who was a psychic.

"Oh, didn't you notice then? I was there, wasn't I?

Arya laughs glossily. His face was similar to that of Illis, but his expression and impressions were as if they were different.

"Oh no..."

"Even if the royal palace summoner didn't make it, your sword didn't arrive. What I am protecting Your Majesty. No assassination, no surprise attack."

"Why!"

"Need a reason?

Arya tried to tilt her neck, whether she enjoyed stroking Iris' nerves backwards. Quon can't be broken between them. I didn't even have a voice. It's not because I'm under pressure. Soon, my neck is tightened. Was there anyone behind it?

"That country screwed us up!

"You mean like a child. The world isn't as honest as you think it is. Complex, snoring, mixed with intentions and emotions, coloured with extreme colors"

"What..."

"It's just a tawagoto. Don't worry about it. If you're distracted by me, your precious neck will fall."

"Huh?"

Kuon's vision is sumptuous, and even the face of Illis, who looks back at this one, ceases to be certain. I can barely hear you either. My consciousness is blurred. My neck was compressed and I couldn't breathe. But it's unlikely to withstand the sweet temptation to wait ahead of this pain. I think the consciousness is so weak by then that it is easy to be flushed into the situation. I want to die like this. The impulse is abrupt, and rebellion does not arise. I want to be free from pain. And I know that if I die, I'll be open from everything. I can free myself from everything and be free.

Unexpectedly, Quon collapsed to the floor with the feeling as if gravity had resurrected. Breathe like you're devouring the air. I had an extra sore throat, but I needed air. I still have dull pain. But the temptation of death had disappeared. I feel blood all over my body.

"Quon!"

I heard voices, I saw faces. You look like you're about to cry. I want to protect you. You said you were the one who was protected. You're arrogant. And I think so.

"Good, you're the good boy. Sister, I didn't want to grieve you."

In Aryan's words, we can see that she made some kind of deal with Iris. I can imagine, but it was unlikely that Quon could question it. If you ask Illis, he'll tell you, but that's all right later.

"Bye, healthy Illis"

When Quon raised his face, Arya's appearance was scratching away. The window opened and the wind entered and the curtain snapped. Everything disappeared like an illusion.

"You're a jerk... Ilis"

The voice, I managed. But sore throat, he refuses to speak. He was strangled tightly. I almost choked to death. Arya would undoubtedly have killed Quong if her deal with Illis had not been successful. I feel chilly about the cold facts.

Armed summons cannot be exercised if the voice is sealed. Whether it is a general armed summoner or a quon, it is a principle that remains unchanged. If you can't cast a spell and spin the end of a spell, you can't connect the world to the other world. Where I was proud of my invincible shield, if I can't summon it, it means nothing.

That is one of the few shortcomings of an invincible shield, a weakness common to armed summoning techniques. If you get your throat crushed before you complete the procedure, you lose.

"Sorry, Quon. Again, this is my fault."

The only thing Quong could do was hold her in tears. She carries too much of a hard past. All of that came at once. Who is to blame for the overflow of what has been accumulating in his heart?

"This is how I live. So that's fine."

Besides, now it will be chara. They imitated each other like a king. Whether the Aryan ambush is an order of Leongand or not, it's the same thing. Both used similar hands.

Of course, it's a stupid, shallow idea to be written off with it, but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it would be a charade in that the burden of having it decided it wasn't a Leongand decision would go away.

"This is fine."

Quon held her until she stopped crying and fell asleep.
