"Fort Beaunel......"

Setsuna was thinking about the offensive object, blurring out at Miliu playing with a black puppy in the carriage. Under the pale light of the Demonic Crystal lamp, the puppy is clutching to Milyu as he rushes around and jumps. Miliu was Miliu, who moved around in the carrier just like a puppy and was constantly noticed by Faria. I get quiet once I'm noticed, but when the puppy squeezes, it's out of hand because it moves like it responds to it. I'm not even shouting, though. There's nothing more to pay particular attention to than not bothering other troops.

"What's wrong with Fort Beaunel?

Faria asks as she rubs her sleeping eyes. She had been dormant until just now, but I guess she couldn't sleep with Miliu and the puppy noise anymore. Somewhat, it seems that Miliu and the puppy are to blame for the grump.

"No, kind of."

Fort Bewnell, a five-way defensive force guarding the capital and dragon palace of Zalwarn, the fort at the corner of which bears the name of the House of Bewnell of the Pendragon clan. I mean a black fort, but at the present time unknown, its characteristic appearance was that it was lost in darkness.

I hope the reason the fort looks black is because it is an institution associated with the Pendragon clan, which means that the colors that symbolize the House of Buenel are black, by the way.

"What, what, what? Just the two of you, a secret story? I want you to join me."

"It's not a big deal."

Confused by Miliu, who approached her with momentum as if to hit her with a puppy in her arms, Setsuna tried to escape her pursuit by floating a loving laugh. But she comes face to face without any problem with this situation or anything. The cold gaze of the face-to-face faria hurts, but it's also true there's nothing Setuna can do about it.

Though the carriage carriage carriage is naturally stacked with luggage, there is only room available for the three Setunas and one puppy. It's big enough for Miliu and his puppy to sneeze around. Most of all, it was difficult for the three of them to lie down and sleep, and there was no such thing as going to bed at the same time. Sometimes we have to monitor Miliu in Setuna and Faria, and I don't mind that, but the fact that we can't take the fatigue is not a problem.

Instead, it's probably more right that you get extra tiredness when you sleep while the carriage rocks you. It has been a long march since Myram. Though it was initially the horses of Ruufa that were put on them, they also traveled more often in carriages. I'm getting used to the vibrations and noise of carriages, but it doesn't mean that getting used to it solves everything.

Falia was carrying baggage stacked on the side of the carrier, and Miliu had both puppies in the middle of the carrier. Setsuna is located on the opposite side of Faria, so that they can surround Miliu. It was a consideration so that she could be seized instantly even if she rambled, but so far, we have not shown the kind of bareback that Miliu would take such action. Strangely cooperative, and that's why we need vigilance, Setsuna thought.

You're not one of them, are you?

"Hmm... I'm a prisoner. But I don't want to know what Setsuna's thinking. Doesn't Faria think so?

"... I won't deny it"

"See, you're not even intrigued by Setuna."

"I'm the captain."

"Heh, that's it?

"What are you looking at?"

"Then you can have me a setuna, right?

Setuna was held as she was, with her arms around her neck. The puppy she was holding is thrown out onto the carrier, but he flies to Faria, waving his tail. Disappointingly embraced with both arms, Setuna can't do anything about it.

Faria sends Miliu an icy glance as she counteracts a nearby puppy.

"Why would that happen?

"It's just a superior officer to you, isn't it?

"Yes, but..."

"Whose is the superior, not what you found out?

"Right. If they're other women, that's fine. But you can't."

"Uh, why not?

"'Cause you're not from an enemy country yet. If it falls into the hands of an enemy human, it won't be a coincidence."

"Hmmm...... sure"

I don't know what it is for sure, but Miliu freed Setuna with a somewhat convincing voice. I didn't know what she was convinced of Setuna, but I'm relieved that the two arguments are over. They were awake at the same time, and yet they were in the same space (which is unlikely to mean they weren't there), and they often bumped into each other and scattered sparks every time something happened. However, the argument came to an end when there was nothing like developing into a quarrel and Miliu, in one way or another, expressed his satisfaction with Faria's opinion.

Behind the brain, there is the face of a man with the name of Beaunel. Lancaine-Bunell. He is the first armed summoner Setuna has ever fought in this world and a madman killer. Setsuna was burned by the flames of his summoning armies and managed to beat him even as he was about to die. It was thanks to the black spear, not Setuna's strength.

Setuna didn't kill him then because he didn't have the option to kill him, and Lancaine lost her mind before that happened. Much like why you didn't kill Miliu. Maybe the situation is similar.

Setsuna was dying then too. He was drunk by the flames produced by Fire Dragon Daughter and suffered burns all over his body. Dying serious injuries. Normally, I couldn't help. He was dead and deserved it. It was thanks to the woman who was now arguing with Miliu that she was able to survive the abyss of death. Her ability to subpoena armed forces has brought Setuna's life to an end in this world.

(Arrow of Destiny...?)

One of Aurora Storm's abilities is the arrow to sharpen lifespan and activate vitality to the extreme. By doing so, he brought the body's healing ability to its limits and healed the burns that had covered Setuna's entire body. Faria didn't shoot that arrow at herself or Ruufa after the battle with the Milius, it must be because the price is too great. Neither were they dying like Setuna. Ruufa was a serious injury, but it meant he could take the time to treat it, and that was the same for Faria. It was decided that cutting lifespan to heal that degree of wound was not a good idea.

Setsuna can't possibly tell how much the invisible thing of life was shredded, but it was also somewhat, horrible. The future has been robbed. But if she hadn't done that to me, Setsuna would certainly have been dead by now.

Because there was no other way, Faria used the arrow of her destiny. Setuna doesn't resent Faria for that. Just thank you. Even if my life runs out tomorrow, I won't curse her. I owe it to her decision to live to this day. If Faria hadn't decided to exercise the arrow of fate, Gandia's black spear Setuna Zenon-Kamiya would not have existed.

In that case, how did history move?

Sometimes I think about that. Would Leongand have used Lancaine more heavily than ever before and used it badly? Or would they have gathered Faria and other armed summoners? Gandia's movements since the recapture of the fortress of Balsar were completely unimaginable in Setuna's poor knowledge and thoughts.

Without Setuna, it is often said that it would not have been as it is, but how far can I trust that as well? I never wondered if that wasn't the word to lift Setuna.

Setuna shook her head in her chest. We should focus on what's in front of us now. Miscellaneous blunts thoughts. You should always remain calm and sharpen your nerves. It is also the teacher's teaching. Lux-Vein. The “Sword Ghost” of the mercenary regiment "The Pale Wind" has done a great job of leading the Central Army to victory. He was badly wounded, but said he remained calm even in that state and took on an enemy general. That's just what I want to be proud of as Setuna's master, but I don't know who to be proud of.

A puppy who was playing with Faria returns to Miliu. He seems to be a favorite of Miliu's. It was originally a puppy that Miliu's people had with them. Maybe it's natural to miss Miliu. That said, he can't possibly know that Faria or Setuna were the enemies of the Milius, and I miss them both.

Setuna didn't think how easy it would be if she could behave like a puppy at will.
