It was two days after the initial negotiations that the second negotiation between Gandia and the mercenary group White Shield took place. Opening the day was a consideration on the part of Gandia that it would take time to think, but it seems that the White Shield had come to a conclusion within that day.

Participation in the negotiations that took place at Myram's Palace was a similar facet to the first one, from the Gandhian side to King Leongand and the nearby Barrett-Weissmoon and Zephil-Maldeen, and from the White Shield side to Commander Kuon-Kamiya, vice-president Sweel-Lanagaudi, and the negotiations proceeded without any major problems.

Setuna, like last time, waited outside the room for the negotiations to wrap up. Faria, Ruufa was with us, but we wouldn't have needed an escort. This time it was in the palace, and it didn't mean defenseless. Still following the royal decree and waiting outside the hall where the negotiations are taking place, because it is my mission as a Royal SS.

And in the face of Setuna and the others, there are similarly the faces of the White Shield awaiting the conclusion of the negotiations. There was no such thing as that female armed summoner this time, only two muscular men and noble men. It would be a decision that there is no need to be vigilant, and that is not a mistake first. As for Gandhia, we need the help of the White Shield - Quon among them - and we don't intend to do any harm from the beginning. Not to mention, I'm not even going to turn the quons against the enemy. That is why the raids that took place before the initial negotiations were also unquestionably attached.

"You're calm today."

Falia slapped me in the ear and Setuna leaked a bitter laugh.

Setuna was, indeed, calm. It was mentally stable and so much so that I wondered what the anxiety had been since before the initial negotiations. I'm calmly able to grasp the situation, and earlier, when I had eyes with Quon, I didn't even create agitation. There wasn't some big change, but there was room in my mind. Vague anxiety was probably crap at a time when it wasn't taking concrete shape.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure it was a big encouragement from General Astal-Lanadies Right Eye. At that time, if I hadn't met her in that cemetery, I might still be feeling depressed and waiting for the end of the negotiations. That was ridiculous and seemed relieved.

The negotiations came to a lighter conclusion than I thought. It hasn't taken two hours. Both the Leongand and Quon sides out of the hall had a sunny look, probably because the negotiations went well. Setuna had started to think no, that was fine if it was the best outcome for Gandia.

My place is in Gandia, unshakeable. If you can believe that, your heart won't shake. There's nothing to be frightened of or threatened with.

So, I guess.

Setsuna could see Kuon's face carefully. It's been a long time since I've seen it seriously. Even in the original world, I might not have seen it so firmly. Beautiful face. Though I've always thought that I don't seem like the same person I am. Glossy dark hair with blue eyes. Blueness like a sapphire made his gaze feel blind when His eyes looked at Setuna. He laughed as he lit up, wondering if Setuna's bluffing was awkward. The smile must appeal to many. There has always been one around him for a long time, and that's why Setsuna was under his asylum, too.

Remembering the past didn't shake my heart. The weight of death that has been treading underpins Setuna right now.

"The contract was signed. Now I'm sure my Gandhia will win."

Leongand skipped a light mouth, probably because he was extra satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations. I don't know the details of the contract, but from those words, there is no doubt that the White Shield has become Gandia's mercenary. You've got an invincible shield, an undefeated army. During the contract, you will have obtained exactly the protection of the iron wall.

And the offense has Setuna.

(That's right. There's my place)

Setuna held her fist. I didn't have to think small hard from the start. Shields and spears. The usage is different. Even if Leongand likes the shield and needs it, the value of the spear remains the same. The power of black spears is best known to Setuna.

"Our White Shield, from now on, let us be courageous as His Majesty's Shield"

When Quon fought before Leongando, other members learned from it. Setuna and the others look at the situation from the rear of Leongand. Young lion king and undefeated mercenary regiment. It wasn't a bad view. That was something that made me feel like Gandhia's potential for the future.

"Nice to meet you."

Leongand nodded to Eagle Deep, directing the neighbors to do something about it. The neighbors leave the scene with Swirl. Maybe I'll even talk administrative, but I'm not sure about Setuna. Do I not have to follow the commander's quon?

"Setuna."

"Ha"

Leongando called me, and Setsuna fell for it. It hasn't been all over until now, but when my lord calls me by my first name, I get more nervous than usual. but waiting didn't come to anything, so when I saw it, Leongand had eyes like he was telling Setuna to come to his side. Run over in a hurry.

"Lord Quong wants to talk to you, but are you kidding me?

Setuna turned her eyes round to the words that Leongand had whispered to others not to hear. And I appreciate it.

(Your Majesty...!

I never thought Leongand would care that much. Leongand's remarks are based on the perception that Setsuna was worried about Quon. That's not to say that Leongand had noticed that Setsuna was looking strange, but that he had cared so far. Of course, Setsuna has never consulted Leongando, nor has she ever shown the attitude that she is obsessed with Quon. That's all I'm going to say.

And yet, Leongand, he understood.

Setuna was so thrilled that she forgot to reply much. I didn't have to worry about it from the start. Leongand was always concerned about Setsuna. Not just as a weapon, but as one of my men, as one human being, he sees me well. I didn't have to worry about Kuon or anything. When I saw his attitude to him, I didn't even get anxious. Leongand was, indeed, watching Setuna.

When I found that out, the different emotions that were still in Setuna evaporated.

"I'm already a jerk!

When Setsuna answered with all her might, Leongand seemed to clap out, though.

When, it flows quietly.

The tone the clock needle engraves is accurate and seems to mock the depth of silence lying between them. No, sometimes I don't even laugh at that stuff. It's just pale, just carving the time.

We were alone in a large space.

Setuna and Quon.

We don't even look at each other.

It's a big room. From the kind of conditioning placed indoors, it is presumed that before the war it was the room of noble figures. Is the owner of the room still in Myram? There are also stories that some of Logner's nobles have apparently moved to Gandion. Gandion is the capital of Gandia, the king's capital. I guess it's not a bad idea to keep the royal nobility together. Some of the Gandians moved to the Gandia side for some of the military personnel and vice versa were shown on the Logner side.

After the war, the situation surrounding Gandhia changed dramatically.

Setsuna herself, her position is changing. Regardless of the subtle difficulty of knowing where it stands, it is true that it is no longer just ordinary people. Turn him into a royal palace summoner and captain of The Lion's Tail, Setuna Zenon-Kamiya. The great title is also the weight of responsibility.

On the other hand, there has been no change in Kuon's position. Kuon-Kamiya, leader of the mercenary group White Shield. An undefeated legion using it as an invincible shield. There were numerous countries that needed legions that didn't know about losing, and Gandia was one of them. The reason he signed with Gandia didn't seem to be just because the terms were good.

The two of them are pinching the table and sitting on the couch opposite each other.

There was no anxiety in Setuna's mind. The upset I have felt since the start of negotiations with the White Shield has disappeared and I am able to grasp the situation more calmly than usual. It may be more majestic than it was in the original world. When the scaffolding was stable, it was not surprising to Setuna whether this was something that felt differently. I also know that its stability would have been if there had been a great tree called Leongand, but I felt like I was in a different world than when I was under Quon.

The first person to open his mouth was Quon. He smiles like he cares.

"I didn't know Setuna-Kamiya was really you."

A little, but I'm sure, but that was only for a moment, too.

You can see Quon's face directly in front of him. At a closer distance than I just did, I'm looking more straight than I just did.

"That's dialogue over here. I can't believe Kuon-Kamiya was you."

"But I thought I was somehow."

"Me too... I felt that way"

I can't remember being surprised that I was thinking the same thing.

It's normal to hear a familiar name in a different world without stopping by and be glad it's someone you really know. And I hope so, and you think. Setsuna has sometimes wished that Quon was someone else, but is now rethinking that she is glad she is in person. This is how we can discuss it, because he knows Kuon so well.

Just being with him reminds me of a world I miss.

"You too?

"Are you surprised?

"Right... not surprising"

He leaked a smile at Setuna's attitude. Was it extra pleasing or strange that things hadn't changed from the old days?

Setsuna had no wonder that Quon was no different than he used to be. He would have come unchanged. Setuna did not know a human being as strong in every sense as Quong. Whatever predicament he is placed in, he will not give up, move forward, and control. That's what I was.

"You must have been summoned by Azmaria, too, huh?

"Yeah... about a month ago"

"I was six months ago. There's been a lot going on."

Maybe he laughed bitterly because all that stuff was really hectic. Just a high school student is summoned to another world to form a mercenary corps and wander the country. It's not a life in line. Nor is it the spiritual power of the line. If Setuna was in his shoes, he might have given up somewhere. Setuna was fought out because she had the good fortune of meeting Faria and being found by Leongando.

"Me too, a lot happened..."

"I hear rumors. In the first line, you recaptured Fortress Balsar, didn't you? I helped drop that fortress."

There's no point in Quon sighing, but it's not a story I can agree with. It was a territory that could not be recovered for as long as six months for Gandhia, and if left there, Leongando's position would have been worse and the country itself called Gandhia would have been at stake, he said. It was also Zalwarn Logner's bridgehead to the south, and if it could not be recaptured, Gandia's territory would have been further taken.

"I don't care what they say..."

"I'm sorry. But in that battle, your name spread to all nations. Gandia's Black Spear, Setuna-Kamiya! The name of the armed summoner who moved the battlefield by himself jumped into my ear."

I also felt Setsuna somehow knew why Quon was always more and rapper. He's the one I felt so attached to, and now I want to talk more about it. I'm finally acquainted with the original world. This was the first emotion I've ever had in this world. I miss it, I'm happy, I'm about to loosen my tear glands.

"I really wanted to meet you soon to make sure. There were a lot of things going on here, and I couldn't move right away."

"Like a contract?

"That sort of thing"

Setuna, listening to him, reassured him not least. I thought it was a good time. If Leongand's trust had met at a time when he had not won, he might have done something else like what he did to Faria, or he might have lost sight of his place. And shortly after the fortress was recaptured, General Astar was the enemy that inspired him to reconfirm his whereabouts.

Thinking about it, it was just the right time to meet Kuon.

"You're amazing. I can't overshadow the war. [M] All I can do is fight unbeatable. I still think it's something I can be proud of enough, and in fact, I get a voice from a lot of countries. I can't believe you're an invincible shield."

Quon had no cowardice in praising others. It has been for a long time. You don't need to be flattered because it's something that makes you say what you think. I honestly accept it. However, Setuna is different. I don't think there's anything more alarming than being praised by him.

"I... amazing?

"Yes. Even if I had the same power as you, I might not have been able to. Killing one is hard, isn't it?

Quon comes to his heart, as he does in public discourse. So you can't be alarmed, and you shouldn't show any gaps.

Setuna may have felt pain in her chest because Quon's eyes were slightly clearer.

"I never killed one."
