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

Episode One Thousand Eighty-Six: Rumors of a New Town

Setuna told everyone gathered in the hall of the battalion about the rumors she had heard from Leongand.

Rumor was that in Gandion New Town, I saw Setsuna, who was supposed to be in Lucion. Setsuna replied that it was a story that I don't remember seeing at all, with no roots or leaves, and that Leongand understood very well.

Setsuna was in Lucion until the other day, working with her team and the men under her command. That didn't have to be testified by Setuna, and he also grasped it on the Leongand side. Otherwise, Setuna and the others will be aligned behind their mouths to Lucion and Walal.

Lucion still has no reason for Walal to cover Setuna's top secret actions. That doesn't make sense.

Not yet, but it was also a strange story for Lucion to match Setuna's back with his mouth, something that didn't make sense. It is true that it was Lucion who requested Setuna from the reinforcements, apart from the story if Lucion was up to something, but there is no way he could have done that while he was in mourning. Besides, there is no inevitability that Lucion would betray Gandhia, nor would Setuna do anything against Leongando's will.

That's why it's odd.

Moreover, according to the testimony of numerous witnesses, there was Setuna, not someone similar to Setuna. He had bloody red eyes in his wet dark hair, and the appearance of blackheads as dressed as Setsuna was nothing but Setsuna. If there is any suspicion, it means that Setuna is with someone unfamiliar to the citizens of Wang Metropolitan City, and such sightings are beginning to come with a tail.

One of those tails is the crap that Setuna is up to something and hiding in the new city, but when a hero is abandoning his mission and wandering around the new city, so be it.

"I mean, there was a Setuna impostor, right?

Faria concluded.

"Well, that's the thing"

"What about Your Majesty?

"We need to find out who the rumors are. Although no harm has been done so far, I don't know what will happen in the future."

"I know that, but why would Setsuna have to look into it? Why don't we just summon the city guard or something?

Miliu has come. That is the question Setsuna has had, as well as the question he has made Leongando. If the sightings were numerous in the new town, mobilizing the city guard would have caught them immediately. But I can't do that, Leongand said.

If you do that, it matters.

Setuna looked at Miliu and opened her mouth.

"You said you looked just like me."

"Yes, but..."

"If the City Guard were after me, there might be some bad rumors, and I'm pretty sure it'd be a fuss."

It is also possible to develop into a major disturbance since the beginning of the Wang capital. If the cause of the mayhem is Setuna, the problem could spill over all of Gandia. Of course, if we catch it, if it's determined that it's fake, the problem could converge quickly, too.

"I see."

"Sure. One of the guys who saw you said it was you."

"If so, that's why you can't even leave it alone, right?

"It's not like you don't work evil."

"For what?

"Well, to discredit the Admiral, right?

Esq, sitting with the chair facing back and holding her back, laughed sarcastically.

"If the reputation of the hero Sama falls to the ground, the reputation of Gandia falls to the ground too. If that happens, the countries that have followed Gandhia so far may turn to their enemies."

"No way."

"The snoring structure of Gandhia, a hero, is behind it, Admiral."

"Where Setsuna's reputation has fallen, it won't affect a lot of people that much."

And when Phalia had told him without a shrug, Esq praised his shoulder. From behind Faria, it would also be because Miliu was staring at him. Apparently, Miliu and Esq didn't seem to go well together.

"It's just that if that person, who looks a lot like Setsuna like him, does everything he can to discredit Setsuna, that's not it."

Faria keeps her words cold.

"If His Majesty can no longer shelter Setuna, Gandia may not be able to use Setuna, right?

"That kind of thing?

"That's what it is. And I'm sure His Majesty's afraid that's what's going to happen. So maybe Setsuna wants you to prosecute the fakes yourself."

"I see. Heroes are tough, too."

is, Sheila. Faria floats her consent.

"Right."

For such an exchange between the two, the hall becomes quiet for a moment. Seeing the strangely cold air begin to flow, Setuna coughed.

"Anyway, starting tomorrow, we're going to put up a squad and search the new city. The purpose, of course, is to catch that person who looks a lot like me. Even if you're not doing anything."

Whether you're guilty or not, there's no way you can leave a human being in the same shape as Setsuna in the new city. detain, find out who they are, and decide on measures on them, he said. In some cases, they think that there is a reason to use Setuna as a shadow fighter. Setuna is a politically and militarily important figure in Gandhia, who also runs the risk of being targeted for his life (having actually been targeted). Even one of the Shadow Warriors has a different sense of security. but of course, that depends on that person who looks a lot like Setuna.

"Squad... is that just Lion's Tail?

"What about us?

Esq had a full smile against Sheila's disgruntled face.

"You mean we can rest, we did -"

"I'm glad to hear it, but naturally, you're going to use it."

"Yes!? What kind of murder is that?

"No, of course not."

When Setuna told him with a flashing face, Esq just nibbled that he knew.

"I know, Admiral. I don't want to take a break. Instead, he's a kind of person who wants to work and can't help it."

It was rotten.

As Sheila pinched her mouth, Esq laughed dry.

Sure, Esq was rotten. Says he spent his days in a Caesar tavern, not even knowing where he was going tomorrow, drowned in booze and intoxicated. Since the Battle of Endwidge, the Sydney Mercenary Corps has been dismantled alike, and although they managed to muster the remnants, they were also unable to do well as deputies for the Commander. Should it be ironic that he regained some of his vitality because he learned that Sheila had returned to Abard and woke up to revenge on Sheila and Abard?

Since then, Esq followed Setuna and Sheila to forget the days she was drowning in booze. No, I was pretending to follow.

Revenge against Sheila and Abard for taking Langleed Zan-Sydney.

That was what made Esq-Soma's hope of life and what drove him into battle.

Whether revenge was fulfilled or not. Abard fell into havoc exactly as he wanted, to be ruled by Gandhia. Sheila turned into a nine-tailed fox at the end of despair, doing all she could to destroy it. Sheila was not exaggerating when she said she had lost everything.

The hoarding must have gone down.

After the war, that seems to be what Esq and Sheila are doing well while maintaining that sense of distance.

Sheila was Sheila and even had complex feelings for Esq. Esq. The mercenaries of the Sydney mercenary regiment respectfully killed Langrid. Though she had no other way out, she can't erase that fact. At least, the bearers of a character who, like Sheila, have a strong sense of responsibility and try to embrace everything by themselves, even think those things are their fault. It wasn't Sheila who started the Endwidge fight. Sheila rather wanted to avoid a fight with the Royal Palace. but it's also true that it couldn't be stopped. I feel responsible for that fact. There are many lives scattered in the end-widge that cannot be counted. Many of Abad's brilliant military personnel were scattered or executed as Sheilas. And one that matters to Sheila.

If only the battle of the end-widge could be stopped, wouldn't anyone have had to die?

I don't even know what Sheila would think.

But I'm sure I couldn't stop it no matter how I raised it, Setuna thinks.

It had developed into a situation where no one could do anything about it. Sheila alone, Sheila and her surrounding forces alone could not avoid or stop the battle of the End Widge.

If the situation moves, it will.

Sometimes that's what Leongand is holding in Setuna's fake custody. If a situation arises in which a fake creates a bad reputation for Setsuna, disturbs the public and hunts Setsuna down, it may become irrepressible even with the power of Leongando.

That kind of fear is driving Leongando.
