Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Setuna followed the moving mercenary regiment as she guided her about Sheila. She did not let go of Setuna's hand until she exited the underground passage, but did not utter a word at the same time.

Ragna was just talking.

Ragna's rap seemed like the depression of having to hide and remain silent in Setuna and Sheila's clothes, but it also seemed like she simply liked to chat. All I cared about in such a ragna was Remill and Doreen.

Setuna cared more about Sheila than she did about dating his story.

After all, there was no pursuit of the Knights.

Did Setuna do her job destroying the passage, or not?

Anyway, Setuna and Sheila made it through the underground passage, guided by Esq, to Sentier Eastern Lodging District. It was the basement of a building in the lodging district, apparently abandoned and long, and it didn't look like it was being maintained.

Esq's story found that it was a window-house-owned property from stamps and other places in the building, but that there would be no problem if it became clear that it had been abandoned for years to this point, so the Setunas stayed in the building.

I avoided going out to the boarding district because it was clear to Setsuna that a strict attitude was laid throughout the Sentier, not just in the boarding district. The vast sensing range aided by black spears revealed that soldiers were scattered throughout the sentient, trying to find Sheila and those involved in her.

"Well, naturally this happens."

Esq went looking out the window. The room is on the third floor of the building, but he was afraid the inside would peek from the outside or just slightly off the old book. If you open the window completely, you may have just decided you'd be suspicious.

Everything is an ancient rusty space. Bookshelves and conditioning items were dusty and it was difficult to imagine how long they had been left behind. Still, it was better than the rest of the room, and the size of the room and the amount of conditioning such as chairs were just right for the rest area. Dust has no choice but to endure.

Most of all, not everyone was in this room. About half of the mercenary regiment had explored and colored the building with Dorin-Nog, and the other half were in this hall with Esq and Remill. Setuna sits on a bench with Sheila and Ragna, waiting for things to progress.

Incidentally, the Sydney Mercenaries are able to get to this point without missing anyone. It meant that the mercenaries who fell during Operation Yang also managed to rendezvous, and when they heard the story, Setuna was relieved. No matter how many knights won't lay their hands on anything but Sheila, the Abad government isn't. I couldn't possibly not have disposed of what was involved in this disturbance.

If they caught me, it means I wasn't just sorry.

"What do we do?

"Well, what do you want to do?

Esq has questioned me with a sarcastic grin intact.

"You can't hide from Sentier. With the Window Clan weakened, you won't like anything that will shelter the princess in Sentier. No, before that, what are we going to do? The princess's purpose was to discuss it directly with His Majesty Lieserg, wasn't it?

"... oh"

"What could it be more than just the fact that it ended in vain and revealed everything my husband had been hiding?"

Esq clasped his shoulders in a daze.

Nothing.

Maybe so.

Anything, maybe it's the end.

Like him, it ended in vain. King Reserg, who was in the arena, was a very similar other person, or shadow fighter, and the public execution itself was only a convenience to broil Sheila out. Even the audience gathered to see public executions were Knights people, and everything was directed solely to kill Sheila.

Even Roz-Melan, who came to tell Sheila about Larnheil and the other executions, wonders if it was a Knights measure.

Clever, I guess.

If Sheila silently kills him, it's a measure that ended up empty-handed. If Sheila hadn't listened to Larnheil's wishes and tried to get involved with Abard, the Knights would have waited on that occasion.

But Sheila couldn't have seen it. Whatever she was up to, she had to go to that place. I went there and didn't want to stop the execution.

Otherwise, Sheila must not have been Sheila.

Unexpectedly, Sheila's fingers devoured into Setuna's hands, and he realized she was suffering. No, that's what I knew before that. Sheila's been in pain. That has been the case ever since she was refused her return to the King's Capital.

(all the time)

Setsuna saw Sheila. Sitting in the same bench as Setuna, she was leaning down on her face and biting her lips. Caring for her mood makes her suffer to her own chest. Setuna is not Sheila, and she may not be from or in a position to anything. I can't fully understand how she feels. But you can be compassionate. Compassion, I can help her do it.

"It's not over yet."

Sheila spoke as she squeezed out of her throat.

"If that knight's story isn't a lie, the repression of the Sheila sect is just to broil me out. There's no way the Royal Palace is going to attack the Sheilas more than I've been lured."

"Well, you will. If that's true, though."

"I don't even think the knight was lying"

"... oh"

To Sid Zan-Rufaus, to Bain Belbail Zan-Lanacourt, I saw no lies in their words and deeds. They acted on Sheila as a priority, and other than Sheila, fighting back was nothing like slapping a deadly attack. The mercenaries were all able to survive because Bain did not intercept the mercenaries at all costs, he said.

That's how thorough it is.

They're not lying.

Killing Sheila is the only order that has been given to them, and that is all.

"And if that knight's story is true, what you want me to die for is your mother, Your Highness."

Sheila's voice was shaking slightly. I figured out that tremor, maybe because Setuna is next to Sheila. I can't see the look on her face I leaned over, but I'm sure she must be in agony.

My real mother wants me dead.

Sheila's love for her father and mother and her care for the royal family were also coming from her previous words and deeds. That's why she didn't want a confrontation with the Royal Palace, nor a confrontation with the Sails. Because it was unthinkable to her, such as hostility with her beloved royal family.

It can be said that one of those families betrayed me.

No, it's not an easy thing to do, like betray.

Equals denial of all life.

"I want to know why you're trying to kill me."

"Isn't the conflict between the Sheilas and the Sails a problem?"

Esq's voice is chilling.

As for Abard's civil unrest, Setuna is familiar with it, hearing it directly from Sheila. The Sydney mercenary regiment is a party involved in that civil unrest. Commander Langrid Zan-Sydney said he was killed in battle and the mercenary regiment itself was hit close to destruction. As for him, who manages to sum up the remnants of that party, maybe there is nothing more hateful than the confrontation between the Sheilas and the Sails that triggered the civil unrest.

In stories told in Sheila's subjectivity, it's not what Sheila wanted or knew, such as Sheila sects and civil unrest, but that's not what even the Esques knew. For them there is a faction called the Sheila faction, and the reality is all about the Sails - that is, rivalry with the royal palace and stomped through the war. As a result, even if I resented losing everything, it wasn't weird.

Nevertheless, Setuna is not going to put her shoulders in the Esques. Listening to Sheila, it was only natural that she wanted to put her shoulder in Sheila.

"But I want to know the truth directly from my mother."

"I mean, now I'm going to have a direct conversation with Her Highness."

"Oh......"

Sheila affirmed in a low voice. Her nails are eating hard into the skin of Setuna's hands. Thinking of her mood, there was no such thing as that amount of pain. Instead, if it was going to be this much pain, it was enough to want to do it on my shoulder. I can't do that, so it's painful.

"How? Oh, my God, I'm going to think about it."

When Esq closed the window book, he paid the dust on his hand.

"First of all, we need to do something about this situation."

Esq and Remill, who was near him, nodded at Setuna's words.
