Continental calendar May 5, 202.

The sky that day was never higher.

The sky is high everywhere and far away everywhere. The seeping blue colour makes you realize that this is the Illus Valle. Clouds are flowing faster than ever. I'm sure it's because of the wind. However, Yamagata Street was rarely exposed to cold air winds.

Shanmen Street is located at the southern foot of Mount Lyov. The north side of the city was Mount Lyoff itself, and the unique giant walls of Mount Gate Street were like arms stretched out by Mount Lyoff. Yamagata Street is held in the arms of Mount Lyov. And that arm is protecting Yamagata Street from the wind.

The eastern corner of Yamagata Town is an unsupported inn district. The White Shield, a group of mercenaries that made up the great estate of a total of two hundred and fifty, was accommodated as if occupying the corner of the inn district. From the time I was wandering around the small group of nations, it was about the Inn that bothered Kuon's head the most. It didn't have to be a big city, and when it was a small city, it was a big deal just to make sure all the crew had a place to sleep. Sometimes he camped, and in that case, Quon took the initiative to sleep in the tent of the camp. There are many dangers outside the walls. Wildlife and bandits are still unlikely to be attacked by the Imperial Devil. In that case, if there was one quon, I wouldn't care. Even though it cannot be repelled, it is the ability of the Shield of Messiah that can completely contain the damage. So if you say Quon is going to camp, it's troublesome because the team agrees and follows him. The members want to rest in the inn, so they say they will go wild from Quon Mizu, but then the main fall is also bad. Though, that's probably why Quon cares, too, because they're members of those groups.

Now, it's not just that kind of group anymore. No, there are certainly fewer and fewer ancient senators, like those who accompanied the vagrant era of the small group of nations. Some have lost their lives, not fighting, and few have been unable to keep up with Quon's thoughts. At first, those who subscribed to the philosophy of the White Shield and were excited had no choice but to dwell on it if faced with the reality of an endless battle, and it was also a reality for those things to escape the White Shield.

Quon was rather negative about what he was forced to do and follow, and the real thing was that he wanted something tired of the White Shield's activities to get some rest. The goal of eradicating the Imperial Demon from this world is too far away. We could not destroy it for nearly five hundred years. It won't end in a Quong generation, and I don't think there will be anything to follow after Quong.

It is an unquestionable fact that a new nest is being built somewhere again, where one of the Imperial Devil's nests has been crushed. I'm just repeating an infinite amount of Itachi. Still, he reaches out and destroys the Imperial Devil's Nest because he must not leave those who are suffering in front of him alone. Even if it may be pointless, it's Quon who can't help but do so.

I can't do anything about all this, even if this body rips and disappears in thousands.

Maybe I think about that because today was a special day for him.

"Is this okay?

It wasn't until Illis got all his crew together at a place called Dongyang Park on Yamagate Street that he looked surprised. Toyo Park, as its name suggests, was a park located in the eastern part of Yamagate town and existed to lie outside the inn district. Nothing in particular, the square was probably just a space to view the landscape of Mount Lyov, and there was no such thing as being in a place to see a sight that was not rare for the inhabitants of Mount Gate Street. If you're a traveler, you might stop by, but no one was there except the Quons, such as the travelers who are visiting Yamagata Street today. That was also why Quon chose Toyang Park as a joint training venue. Joint training. It is desirable that there be a space where two hundred people gather without any problems, and yet no one gets in the way. If it is not in Yamagata Street, it was also considered to be outside the walls of the castle. Outside of town, it doesn't even bother the residents.

"I don't know about this, but I do wonder if this is a celebration."

"That's right. It's my birthday, and I wish I could take it slow for a day."

Following Illis, Waldo and Mana also expressed a negative view.

As they mentioned, May 5th was Quon's birthday. It is the 5th of May in a different world, but for convenience, it is also passed in this world on the 5th of May. It's not like there's a problem. Then you don't even have to bother making another day your birthday.

Quon was raw on May 5, eighteen years ago. I never thought I'd be celebrating my birthday in another world, but it's not a bad thing. Not only the executives of Illis, Mana, Waldo, Swell, Graham and Millena, but all the members of the White Shield celebrated Quon's birthday. Have you ever been blessed with so many people?

(There's no way)

Quon could just feel happy about it. I don't need anything more.

Besides, it is unlikely that we will stop joint training. Of the members of the White Shield, two hundred and twenty of the combat personnel have already gained momentum. Several of the medical teams and clerks were also showing themselves in the park because they were interested in the sound of joint training. There was a figure of Radian, and there was a figure of Lyohan's officials. We're watching to make sure the Quons don't cause any disturbances. Most importantly, if the Quons cause disturbances, it may not be possible to suppress Lyohan's armed summoners, even if they are summoned in total. An invincible shield should prevent even the goddess of war from attacking.

That doesn't mean we have a chance of winning, though. If you are brought into a protracted war, you will definitely lose. Quon knows both the strengths and weaknesses of the Shield of Messiah.

"No, if it wasn't for these opportunities, we wouldn't be able to conduct joint training. If it's the captain's birthday, he'll be happy to join us."

Quon, while appreciating the care of the Iris, did not intend to bend his thoughts. The main objective is to reconcile new arrivals with ancient ginseng by using a special day of birthdays for joint training. The White Shield was originally a tissue tied together as hard as a single rock. Some of them left on the way, but there was no such thing as disturbing the harmony, and no bond broke.

However, changes had begun to appear among the members of the White Shield, that is, since they entered the sphere of power of the Vashtarian community. He also touched on the dramatic increase in the number of members of the group, with the effect of publicity interspersed with the sermon of the pilgrimage teacher Radian. It is mostly Vashtaras who listen to Radian's sermons. And it could be taken for granted that the kind of person impressed by Radian's preaching and heart-pounding is not a devout Vashtara, and that most of the new entrants are Vashtaras.

In contrast, there are few Vashtaras among the ancient senators. It's not like I'm not here, but I couldn't help but say I'm a minority. That minority is starting to create some sort of injustice between the new Vashtaras and the Jailers and the non-Vashtars. That has never happened before. There were times when the number of Vashtaras was small, and all ancient scholars were members of the White Shield when it was founded, or they were never acting in such a way that friction would arise between the members who later came in. However, the situation has changed with the massive enlistment of the biological Vashtaras. Maybe he was inspired, maybe he thought this would be a good opportunity. The Vashtarians joined forces and began to form factions. The ancient senators who did not feel comfortable with this also created factions to confront them. Vashtara and non-Vashtara denominations. The White Shield, which should have been a strength to be a single rock, was in a situation that was not an exaggeration to say that it was in a crisis of internal division.

I also had to hold my head for this, just quon. That's why we can't rule out the new recruits, nor can we silence the sentiments of the ancient senators. Also, blaming the Radians is wrong. Although the increase in the number of people wishing to join was largely due to the propaganda of the Radians, it was the Quons who accepted it. I just wish I hadn't accepted it if I didn't have to. We must also anticipate that there will be some problems beyond accepting them.

And that too, I knew it.

Being a big zone is synonymous with having problems. It's better to say it's a miracle that nothing has gone wrong before.

Fighting between humans and factions can be cut but not cut, and can happen to any organization. Even if it didn't happen now, it was a problem that eventually happened, and what happened at a time when we might be able to deal with it was rather delightful. Of course, I don't think that all of this will be resolved by the degree of joint training, but rather the possibility of getting worse is open.

Nothing, it would be better than just trying to wrap your fingers around it.

That's how Quon thinks.

"Whether it's Quon's birthday or not, I think those guys would be happy to participate."

Mirlena went, looking at the look on the faces of the members gathered in the hall. All the members of the White Shield were dressed for training. Training clothing is also the same design as the White Shield uniform. There are white wings on the back of black clothes.

"You need a trigger for everything."

"Hmm. I don't know about straw, but if Quon is like that, he can't do anything to pinch his mouth. So, why don't you join us?

"I'm glad you did"

"Ho ho. Good. Let's take part in joint training. Lord Waldo to Lord Illis. If you do, don't look so scared, and let's loosen up."

Mirlena smiling loudly had a unique airiness. It's like being on another timeline just for her, that kind of air. Something different from the elegance and elegance of being born and raised as a princess makes Millena human attractive.

Against such Mirlena, Illis looked like he had been drained of poison.

"Why is the princess so fluent?

"Because you're a princess."

"Well, isn't that nice? Mr. Millena is also willing to ride. We'll hang out, too!

"What's going on over here?

For Mana-Ericcia's excitement, Iris, who admires her, can't seem to hide her surprise either. Kuon agrees with her, too, but it was also gratifying that executives like Mana would stick it out. Joint training for a long time. Maybe I'll have an arm.

"If we don't be careful here, the princess may take Kuon."

"Mm..."

Unexpectedly, Waldo did. Kuon had a bad feeling, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Incidentally, the best in joint training will be given the right to be alone tonight, Master Quong"

"What..."

"Is that true?

"You can't beat me."

Vision the flames lit the eyes of three people: Iris, Mirlena and Mana. Though visions, from their expression, their words and deeds, it is an unquestionable fact that the three struggling minds were ignited.

"Waldo... what are you doing?"

As Quon stuck to Waldo, Waldo's thick arm tangled around his neck and his big hand blocked his mouth. I'm going to punch you in the ear.

(Because the best way to get Iris on board is to use Master Kuon for dashi)

(No, it's not just Illis...)

(Well, Mana, anyway, except I was interested in riding to the princess)

(Are you having fun?

(Yes)

Waldo, who responded instantly, had a refreshing smile on his face and even his eyelashes were glowing his teeth.
