"Hot springs, hot springs, hot springs!

"I didn't think you'd get a long vacation."

It was in the cafeteria of the Lion's Tail building that Ruufa crushed in such a way that he could not hide his joy. Although the dining room prepared by Ruufa had not yet functioned properly, the kitchen was awaiting a cook brought from the Balghazar family, who had responded quickly to the orders of the Phalia and the Lion's Tail squadrons.

None of the four people in the dining room are eating alone. Faria was sipping tea and glancing at the paperwork she brought into the dining room, and so was Ruufa. Emil-Lizil was playing with the puppy Niewe, and Miliu, when he said, was dancing something.

After 1pm on October 13th.

Faria and the others are finishing lunch and enjoying a moment of relaxation.

(Loose, huh)

Faria crushed in her chest and wondered a little. It is Faria's sense of realism that she did not feel alive in the days between the attempted assassination and yesterday. It's like I keep having bad dreams, that feeling. It was shocking that Setuna was just stabbed, but it was too bad for his heart that he wouldn't wake up for days. Moreover, it was a long time not to be allowed to watch beside him either. Days like being spiritually cornered. Still, I had to wait, believing in his awakening.

Why is it so painful and hard?

At that time, Miliu can see that he is as if he were a mirror photographer, which means that he also thinks strongly of him. No, that's what I knew. It's something I even recognized. But if I looked directly at it, I was afraid that my current relationship would break down. Even as she was, she thought she was happy enough.

On second thought, it seems that such a relationship has been destroyed by the emergence of Miliu without skin, but Faria dared to look stranger. If you don't look stranger, can't you keep reason? Fear narrowed her horizons.

Most of all, from the incident to today, the only time I had to think about Setuna was nothing but happiness for her. Because I could keep out of sight of the harsher reality.

But those false happy hours are coming to an end.

Faria tried to pretend not to look at it, even though she felt the fact. I just wanted to think about Setuna for a little while longer. Otherwise, we can't even get past the decision. I felt that way.

"Your Majesty's generosity isn't good enough. Well, all that war has just ended. There's no way I can do an outing right now."

"Oh-ooh!

"You don't have the national power to just aggressively wage war. Isn't the Zalwarn War a story about Gandhia's devotion to most of her finances? Rumor has it that the country is about to lean."

"That's a rumor the Empress is circulating. Sure, I've thrown all of Gandhia's power, and while I say I've spent all my money and resources down... it won't run out as much as the national treasury runs out"

That said, there was no certainty in Faria. The Zalwarn War was not carefully prepared. It wasn't a battle that started with certainty of victory.

Leongand had no choice but to break out of the war because there was definitive information that Nares-Ragnahorn had been detained. In order not to manipulate Nares for five years, we have to attack Zalwarn once his system is in place. Gandhia's entire force was mobilized because it was an invisible battle of victory and defeat, as was his request for reinforcements to the Alliance countries to call for victory at all. Funds would have been invested in large quantities, and the story of leaning finances may not have been a mistake, though.

Zalwarn is a big country. To a force well above Gandhia, he possessed an armed summoner like Lancaine and, overall, had no chance of winning. Nor did I see the soldiers belonging to the Gandhian army, even though I thought they could win. If I could drop one city or two, it wouldn't be strange if I had something that I thought was your word. Instead, it was normal to think that way.

A miraculous triumph.

The useful actor was Setuna Zenon-Kamiya, and he was entrusted with his accomplishments to the collar uncle. And there's been an assassination attempt on the night of worship. Then five days passed. Wang du has regained his composure, and the royal palace, on the surface, seems to be normalizing. The shocking death of Cyril-Logner does not affect the Royal Palace itself, though in a way it is appalling.

When the Queen's pursuit of the Logner family weakened, the present Kings led by Leongand gained momentum. The Leongans achieved the fruits of the Zalwarn war. Precisely the great triumph in history seems to have strengthened the voice of Leonganese nobles and military personnel. Naturally, The Lion's Tail is a Leonganese. It's not just The Lion's Tail. The three Royal SS squadrons were the elite chosen by Leongando, whose honor had increased their loyalty to Leongando.

"Hot springs!"

"Shut up."

As Faria turned half-eyed, Miliu stopped moving. Apparently, she couldn't wait for her vacation in Enjour, which has been exciting all by herself since this morning.

It's a hot spring, a hot spring.

"No, even if they say so with that face"

When Miliu looked extremely serious, Faria thought it was cowardly because she was going to be a good house lady.

"Mmm... you guys have a bad ride. That's why Setuna kicks me out, right?

"No, no, no matter what you think, it's Mr. Miliu's fault."

"That's right. The teacher is mad at me because I'm doing a hot spring festival all by myself."

"You've been thrown out on us by the wind."

and Neewe, whom Emil had, jumped toward Miliu. Miliu, when taken magnificently, looks important. I can't imagine how important that black hairball is to her, Faria.

"Emil, you're my teacher's assistant."

"Why am I so bad, like! Ugh!"

"... no matter how much noise you make here, there are limits. Don't shout like it sounds to Setuna's room."

"I know!

Miliu said back with an angry face, holding Niewe, he jumped out of the dining room. I don't think that taking Niewe meant he headed to Setuna's room, and Faria relieved herself. Miliu's liveliness and glamour must be present in the barracks, which tend to get dark.

"The Lion's Tail is busy, definitely because of Mr. Miliu, isn't it?"

"Definitely."

Faria grinned.

"It's a busy thing."

The twinkling words of the man standing by the window reached Setuna's ear on the wind. I thought it would be too inappropriate to use the blue sky across the window as a background, but I didn't say that. It doesn't matter.

Things like he's busy, you know, downstairs. This is Setsuna's private room on the second floor of the Lion's Tail building, but the noise from the dining room on the first floor, and a little further away, was tickling Setsuna's ears.

I'm sorry.

Points your mouth.

I don't want you pointy and pointy. That happens unconsciously. It's like a spinal reflex. If I can't do anything about it, I'm not going to do it again.

"I don't mean bad, etc. Just honest thoughts."

"I see."

I had to hold my head up somewhat to see them as they lay asleep on the bedside, and it was difficult to keep watching them for long periods of time. I don't need to watch it, but I can't be relieved if I don't put it in my sight. The other guy is the other guy.

Cain-Vivre. First name Lancaine-Bunell. Was his name Lance-Birrain when he first met him? It's a name you can't forget even if you want to. To Lance-Birrain, he's about to be killed once.

"... you hate me"

"How can I like you?"

"I don't even want you to like me. Creepy."

He joked. I thought it would be rare for Cain to spew such a light word, but I would also reconsider that it might not seem like a guide. Looking back at the time of the Logner infiltration mission, Cain remembered that his mouth was lighter than his impression, or that it was a chat.

The lightness of their mouths means they're tough, so they're bad.

Inside, there was Setuna and him and Maria-Skole, a military doctor, to it. Maria is here because she needs to be nursed until Setuna's condition is a little more stable. As for Setsuna, there is nothing wrong with her except her side scar.

Maria-Skor, beside serving in an outpost as a military physician, was in such a position to also have the Royal Palace infirmary, which should not have been the case if he had taken the time to be alone in Setuna. When asked about it, she was surprised to find out that she was the military doctor dedicated to Ruufa's rumored Lion's Tail.

Emil-Lizil became her subordinate, and Lion's Tail became an anomalous unit of four combatants and two medical teams. Moreover, three of the four combatants had titles, and the pure combatant was an anomaly of just one Miliu-Lebayen, but given the Lion's Tail operating law, there would be no particular problem. It's always the role of Setuna, the captain, to jump to the front line.

Blurry, looking at the curtains swinging in the wind, I remembered what I heard yesterday. This is why Setsuna is here.

Open your mouth and speak up.

"... you protected me."

Three days ago, at midnight, an assassin appeared at Setuna, who slept in the Royal Palace infirmary, and apparently was captured by Cain. In the middle of losing her mind, Maria said she was there, not at all in Setsuna's memory. There is no mistake.

"Oh, by His Majesty's command. Well, I don't want you to die. I would have done that without an order."

The fact that Cain has gone unprovoked is an obstacle.

"... why not"

"I'm counting on you"

"What..."

"I wonder if you and the black spear would show us what's at the end of this mess."

"Ha... I don't give a shit. Ridiculous."

Throw it away, turn around, and Maria's white coat came into view. Maria sits in the chair she left right next to the bed, staring at the documents she spread over the desk she seems to have brought in. Maria noticed the noise, I saw this one. The look on my face that makes a tough impression somewhere was strange because as soon as I smiled, I looked like a Mercy Mother.

"But you keep fighting, don't you?

Words like Cain's chase pierced Setuna's ear.

"We have to fight."

"... I know, that's not true"

Turning his gaze towards you again, Cain was moving out the window. I guess you're going to leave the room. Are you tired of talking, or are you satisfied with finishing what you want to say? At any rate, Setuna felt light-hearted just to think that he would be gone from his surroundings.

Follow him with only his gaze. The look on the face of an armed summoner of madness who lost one arm is hidden in a mask and unknown. Setuna had no idea what he thought, what he thought and what he wanted to be here. Still, when I thought of the fact that I was alive because of him, I had to speak up.

"Oh, good, I forgot"

"Hmm?"

Cain stopped and looked back at this one. The eyes across the mask seemed to gleam.

but Setsuna can't live up to his expectations.

"Thanks for protecting me"

"I don't know."

"Because it was a real pleasure to be alive, to be alive and to meet everyone"

"... right"

Cain left just that and left the room. The wooden door closes and makes a small noise. Silence was born. It was quiet downstairs, too.

When I realized, my vision was seeping through.

When I rushed to wipe my tears, I noticed my gaze.

Maria looked at this one, smiling gently.
