It was probably the fourteenth day that we broke through a strip that was also known as the Woods of the Black Dragon with Urxal.

Probably because I don't know the exact date and time. I left the Dragon House late on May 10th - no, maybe it's more right, like before dawn on the 11th. From there he continued to run for the north, pinching his break over and over. It took time and accumulated fatigue because I did not use a horse, but rather was able to travel discreetly by it, and it can be said that I did my job. If I had used the horse, this might not have progressed well either.

It is not unlikely that he took the trouble because he did not use the horse. Using the method of drawing attention by Ragna's shouts, even if they were using horses, it might not have been difficult to break through the strict area of the border.

(Ma, I don't care)

It wasn't all that much, and just because you were using a horse doesn't mean you have all the advantages. It's not like walking doesn't have advantages either. Easy to hide can be described as an advantage that cannot replace anything in such cases.

The health lost to break through the strict precautionary zone had recovered somewhat by taking longer breaks in the shadows of the rocks. Then, out through the woods in the shade of the night. As we walked through the woods, the starry sky welcomed Sheila and the others. The blinding stars and the light of the moon were both thankful and annoying. I really appreciate you blowing out the darkness of the night and illuminating the unknown earth, but the falling heavenly light, is equal. Sheila and the others were also illuminating.

Even though it was a long way off the streets, right after the noise near the border. It was also possible that Abad's army and security forces were moving. If a monster appeared near the border that I don't even think was the Imperial Demon, it's not strange for the army to be out. It is visible that if we are in bowls with the army on the move to the border, we will develop into something uninteresting for the Sheilas.

Moving around hidden from the stars was a tricky move. Lying north of Urxal is a vast plain. Equal to no shield or other, there can be no structure or other structure covering overhead. Only to stay as far away from the streets as possible was there a measure that could be described as a measure. Still, I'm sure it was better than nothing.

Sheila and the others were able to reach the southwestern city of Cesar, Abad, without being discovered by anyone.

Fifteenth.

Ceasel is a city in southwestern Abad territory. It was located close to the border, and if it crossed the border, it was in a positional relationship that could be reached within that day. But it was fifteen days after the border breakthrough that Sheila and the others arrived at Ceasel. That's just because Sheila cautiously took care of herself. We finally crossed the border. They must not enter Abird territory. They must not be caught immediately and their identities exposed. Everything is water bubbles. It was also natural for Sheila to be cautious.

Even when Ceasel was withheld from the present, he acted cautiously.

Ceasel is surrounded on all sides by strong walls, as is customary in cities on the continent. The city is inside the walls, and the only way to reach the city is through the castle gate. The castle gate was two locations north and south of Cesar, both undoubtedly under the watchful eye of the gatekeeper.

"What are we gonna do?

Setsuna inquired in a whisper after hiding in the shadows near the south gate of Ceasel. To the southeast of Ceasel there was a grove of miscellaneous woods, a great place to hide oneself. If there is a problem, it means that this miscellaneous forest is along the street, and besides, it was located in the opposite direction to the direction that Sheila and the others have been going. In order to hide herself in the groves, it was necessary to retreat once and make a great detour.

If only we could reach the groves, we'd be a little relieved. Ceasel's walls are, naturally, high. Soldiers are also climbing on the walls, and there is no doubt that they are on guard on all sides. Especially with the tightening of vigilance eyes on the south side, it was more than natural to make a fuss near the border. Besides, the reason for the noise is the monster roar, not the Sheilas themselves. Just because Ceasel's soldiers found the Sheilas, it couldn't have been linked to the noise near the border.

And that's not the problem.

"Well, I don't know what to do."

Sheila watched the south gate of Cesar as she lay herself in the shade of a tree. Far away, with normal vision, it's hard to know exactly. But Sheila has a Heart of Beast. She had the aid of a summoning arm by sticking her hand inside a cloth bag and holding the Heart of Beast pattern. Weapon defenses in different worlds, called subpoena armaments, were not just characterized as powerful weapons. Strengthen the five senses of what you have in your hands and increase your physical abilities. That's just a side effect of a subpoena arm, not for real. Not for real, but it was one of the reasons why an armed summoner could have enough vicious combat power. And it was also greatly available in these cases.

Compared to normal, the expanded view clearly reflects the sight near the south gate of Cesar. My vision is improving dramatically.

"I wouldn't fly alone."

"Yes, you will."

"Sure, if it's a wing, I can put it in easier."

"If you do that, I'm sure you'll be wary."

"Right."

Sheila looked him in the face, somewhat surprised that Setuna was thinking firmly. He is staring at Ceasel seriously. Of course, I'm not summoning a black spear. The activation of the armed summons technique is accompanied by explosive light. And there was no way Ceasel's soldiers wouldn't pay attention to that light.

No matter how powerful the black spear is, you cannot realize its power in a mission whose purpose is to infiltrate.

"But do we need to get into that city? Your purpose is to infiltrate Bandor, the king's capital?

"Oh, that's the biggest purpose. Infiltrate the king's capital and meet His Majesty Lieserg, who would be in the royal palace. If only we could meet and discuss it, Your Majesty would know."

"Speaking of which, you haven't even met..."

"Yeah... my father wouldn't even allow me to meet him. Even entering the King's Capital... na"

After the end of the Kruselk war, Sheila tried to fulfill her spiritual triumph over the King's Capital. I just thought it was something everyone would welcome in joy. I imagined that even her wounds must admire her as glorious. Everyone was supposed to praise Princess Beast for her bravery and welcome her as Princess of Abard.

But the reality was different.

The future Sheila had in mind was denied everything.

"Sheila......"

"Oh, I know. We should focus on what's right in front of us right now."

"... oh"

Setuna's words of consent are profound and quiet. I can see you're caring about Sheila's mood. Setuna is someone else. There's no way I know Sheila's emotions, thoughts, etc. But he's trying to figure it out. That kind of Setuna seemed to stain Sheila right now. So she slipped her gaze. His sincere obsession is painfully dazzling to the eye.

"... like Ragna said, if the only purpose is to infiltrate the king's capital, you don't have to stop at Cesar"

"Bye."

"But if there is no certainty that His Majesty the King will be in the royal palace, there is no point in infiltrating the king's capital."

"I see. So you need to gather information at Ceasel"

"Hmm."

When he wondered if Setuna's hands had wrapped the dragon on his convincing face, he took it straight to his face. Setuna tells the proper Ragna.

Ragna, it's your turn.

"What?

"Tell me about it."

Ragna was stunned by Setuna's words.

"Are you kidding me?

"You're kidding, right?

"You bet."

Seeing Setuna blow out by herself, Sheila looked at Ragna. The little dragon also has a frightened face.

"... at all, I'm not sure about your jokes"

"There's nothing to laugh at, man."

"Mmm..."

Regardless of Setuna, who looked unconvinced, Sheila turned her gaze to Ragna. Although it is now time to look adorable, its potential power should have been incomparable with that of a human being.

"But if Ragna can turn into a human, he can't use his hands either."

"Hmmm... turn into a human, huh? You can't do that."

"Oh, can you do that?

"Who do you think I am?" It's not a dragon in a dragon wrapped around Ragnacia-Elm Dorrus. As much as changing your appearance, there's no such thing as making it. "

How could I understand that Ragna's statement was not a lie? I'm pretty sure he had enough power to do that easily. Not only did Sheila's onslaught not become an object, but her resilience to instantly restore physical damage could be called the result of the awesomeness of his power.

"Bye-bye."

I drowned like Ragna was in trouble. The previous momentum disappears and loses it, turning it into an adorable little animal as soon as possible. I grinned as Setuna wrapped the dragon around her with both hands.

"No power," he said.

"Isn't that because of you or this!

"If it's my fault, it's your fault. If you hadn't attacked me, it wouldn't have happened."

"Mmm..."

It was natural that Ragna could not argue. It was Ragna who got his hands on it first, and Setuna just responded. Sheila and the others joined the battle to cover that Setuna, and this is also an event that would not have happened if Ragna hadn't struck Setuna. But on the other hand, it is also true that if Ragna hadn't struck Setuna, Ragna would never have been reborn as Setuna's servant. And I have to admit that there was a difficulty that Ragna was able to get through because she became Setuna's servant. Had it not been for Ragna, I would have had to send in a slightly more forceful way.

"... anyway, you don't turn into a human being and ask for information."

"So what are we gonna do?

"Do you want to cut the front and come in?

"You're gonna get suspicious, aren't you?

Setsuna's doubts were the best, but it wasn't like Sheila didn't have an idea.

"Turn North"

"So you can go?

"Saana."

"Come on..."

"At least you shouldn't be more suspicious than going from the south. To the south of Ceasel there is only the border, but to the north there is the King's Capital and there is the Valter"

Sheila explained a little bit about Abard's geography to the Setunas. Ceasel is a southwestern city in Abad territory. The Wang capital, Bandor, is located northeast of Ceasel, and the city of Valter, which became the base of the Abad Regular Army in the Battle of Endwidge, is north of the Wang capital. The distance between Cesar and Bandor was not so far apart, and to see how the King's capital was, it was also a city to hit and put on. Valter is far away. but Sheila stepped on that sense of distance was the only one available.

"We're going for the Dragon House from Valter. Dragon Mansion is a tourist city... many people try to get to Dragon Mansion from Abad too, right?

"But Abard's border..."

"Oh. The border is sealed off. but you pretend to be someone who doesn't know that. Valter is a northern city. It's no wonder there are people out there who don't know what's going on in the south."

Of course, Abad's border blockade isn't just about the south side, but you can't possibly know that what goes for Dragon House from Valter to this time of year. If you knew, you'd be caged in Valter or touring another city within Abad.

"You know what?"

"Even guards are nice to unknown travelers."

Sheila said confidently, but it wasn't without anxiety.
