On October 10, five hundred and two, Leongand, who returned to Gandion, King's capital of Gandia, headed to the royal palace section with a grand welcome from the citizens of King's capital. The new town had changed little from when heading to Lucion, but it didn't change much in just about twenty days. Naturally. If we reached the crowded district, military officials and their relatives were waiting for the Leongands, some to salute them, and the children of the military and others cheered with all their might to break Leongands' expression.

I think of my child as being cuter and more loving than ever, probably because my daughter was born. I dive through the gates of the royal palace compartment, suppressing my desire to see Nage and Leona's face even soon.

In the royal palace, the queen Gracia was waiting, and Leongand felt relieved to see her mother more energetic than usual. Gracia seems to have a reputation for getting better and younger every day since Leona was born, though Leongand had to laugh as well to brag about it.

There were also his sidekicks who remained in the Wang capital and the faces of "The Lion's Tail". Setsuna had apparently recovered to the point where she could no longer walk around, and Leongand was relieved of that as well. Without him, Gandhia will not stand - even if it is not so much - he is definitely an essential being. But I cared that he had a slightly evil look on his face, and when I asked him about it, he was taken all the way between practicing martial arts laughing at Gracia.

During Nanbu, it was somehow under renovation and it was still well understood that there was a large hole in the north wall. According to Gracia, hopefully it was a hole made by Setuna, which turned out to be why Setuna looked like a bum.

"Oh, my God, you know what?"

Leongand laughed a lot but at the same time thought it looked like Setuna. It is not something that is forbidden to be broken during the Nanbu, which is part of the royal palace, but if it is Setuna who destroyed it, it will also become a problem. According to the story, there wasn't even a single human being involved just because the wall was destroyed, so it didn't have to be a problem. I guess it was because Gracia thought so, too, that she stepped into renovation work without waiting for Leongand to return home.

"Setsuna's been worried about that."

"You don't have to worry about anything to that extent."

"Ugh. That's why I made a deal with Setsuna. With Uncle Lian."

"Deal?"

"Yes, the deal. But he didn't seem convinced that he would."

When Gracia laughed into her tea eyes, Setsuna also had an indescribable smile like she was in trouble.

"What kind of deal did they make?

"Ugh. Instead of me having to pay for the renovation work during Nanbu, Setsuna decided to be my playmate for a while."

"Player......?

Leongand turned out to be suspicious, not sure what Gracia and Setuna were dealing with. If you're convinced about that, I didn't even think you might have to deal with it, but if you consider Setsuna's personality, which you tend to embrace all by yourself, whatever it is, maybe that's what happens.

"Anyway, if it's the cost of renovation work, we should just get it out of the treasury"

"When you do, Setsuna feels responsible. Hey?"

"Actually, I wanted to pay the full amount."

"Setsuna, you don't have any money right now."

"... you mean that"

Leongand understood and was also convinced why Gracia and Setuna traded. Setuna is currently short on money because she provided substantial funding for the reconstruction of King Abad's capital, Bandor. The reconstruction of the Bandor, abandoned by Sheila's rampage, will require enormous sums of money. It was only natural for Abad to provide reconstruction costs from Gandhia, beyond becoming a Gandhian country, but when it comes to rebuilding as many cities as Wang Du, Gandhia and Abad's money are not enough. There's no way I can release all the money from the treasury.

That's right, there was talk of funding from Setuna, and Leongand authorized it. Setsuna is a sovereign with two territories: Enjour, Dragon House. Known as a tourist city, Ryufu and Hot Springs Street Enjour excel as a source of income for Setuna. Besides, Setuna, who has taken first place in numerous awards for merit in battles, has been paid a lot of prizes, but she rarely used them, etc. I can cover what I need for a living with my salary, and everything on my salary can't disappear into the cost of living. Setuna, a royal palace summoner and chief of the Royal SS, is paid a considerable amount of salary on a monthly basis. In other words, so far we have only saved up the prize money in the battle, and if there was nothing like it, it would have been enormous with no use.

Setuna's substantial funding for reconstruction support in Bandor has been the subject of discussion throughout Gandhia. It goes without saying that Gandia's hero Setuna's fame grew more and more in that matter, and its popularity did not remain in the country. Even Abard is becoming more popular with Setuna, but I'm guessing that's also the fact that she saved Princess Sheila.

Anyway, Setuna currently only has enough money to live on. I didn't even know Setuna would trade Gracia.

"But I should have left it to the state to renovate the royal palace."

"That's not why I'm here."

"Why?

"I broke it."

That's how Setuna didn't ask.

Feeling that there might be something behind his stubborn attitude, Leongand avoided pursuing it any further on the spot. Listening to him would be better in an unpopular place. Leongand, who so decided, followed during the Nanbu.

Then I went into the rear palace and saw Nage and Leona's face. Nage was health itself, and that appeased Leongand. I hope she ate well and slept well, she seemed to care that she had just gotten a little fat, but she didn't think it would be better for her health if some meat followed. Originally, I feel thin.

Leona was asleep. Little kids who are just starting to grow hair are drawing the blood of Leongand and Nage. Recognize those facts while staring seriously at Leona's sleeping face. I had a reason to have to live. At least we have to stay alive until Leona grows up and becomes a fine adult.

Renewing his determination, Leongand left Nage and Leona with the thought of being pulled behind his hair. Leongand is king. Just because my daughter was born doesn't mean I'm neglecting my affairs.

"As long as I'm back in the royal palace, I wish I could slow down"

The only thing Gracia had to say was return a bitter laugh.

That would be good, too. Even when that happens, the country turns without any problems. Even in the absence of Leongand, there are many people who can set up national politics, and it is often better left to good politicians like Gisellcourt to lead to better results. But Leongand didn't want to lose sight of himself as king. As a king, I always wanted to be noble as being at the apex of Gandhia.

To that end, in order to be so, there is nothing more than to continue to carry out my duties as king.

Leongand resumed his affairs within the day of his return to the king's capital, but ordered his neighbours who accompanied him to Lucion to rest. Neither Elius nor Gilvere can rest alone, it has been said, but Leongand forced them to rest on account of his royal life.

Barrett-Weissmoon is the only one who accepts that this is the usual thing and leaves the Royal Palace behind.

"So what really happened between Nanbu?

It was that night that Leongand asked Setuna. Leongand, who finished his affairs, invited Setuna into his room. Setuna was always accompanied by her squire Rem and a little dragon that would be Ragnasia-Elm Dorrus, as well as Urk the Demonic Crystal doll, but the important story was that they were asked to wait outside the room.

"I'm quick to talk to Mr. Midgard about that."

"To Midgard?

Leongand was surprised by the person Setuna presented. No way, I can't even imagine Midgard-Weharam's name rising, etc.

"How does he relate to the situation between Nanbu? Not that he destroyed it."

"Of course, Mr. Midgard didn't destroy it himself. Are you indirectly involved?"

"... Wolk"

"Yes."

Leongand closed his eyes when he saw Setuna nod small. Urk is right outside this room. Being an out-of-the-box Demonic Doll, she was an extremely crafted doll, yet moving, unraveling and willing just like a human being. It seems unlikely, but it's moving into reality, so I just have to accept it. It's just like a dragon. The dragon, which was thought to be equal to myth, is no longer perceived as a very familiar being. Dragons exist naturally, but they exist in Leongando today.

Urk, the Demonic Crystal Doll, acted with the will of Mizumi, which was now very commonplace, too.

The Demon Crystal puppet said it made a big hole in the thick wall between Nanbu. Terrible. So much so that it could develop into a major problem.

I don't know what Setsuna did to her. Setuna's sin prevented her from deteriorating her relationship with the kingdom of Deal by turning back her pursuit of Urk and Midgard.

"You mean there's so much power in that?"

"Yes."

Setsuna nodded at Leongand's words, explaining everything that had happened between Nanbu then.

Ulk was there that day during Nanbu because Ulk was escorting Setsuna and because Setsuna visited Sheila and the others in training during Nanbu, he said. And it seems that Urk's decision to destroy the walls was prompted by Sheila's invitation to train in order to build Urk's strength. Confronted with Sheila, Urk suddenly raised his right arm, emitting light from the palm of his hand, and shortly after, the wall at the tip of his hand was destroyed.

That alone does not explain why Urk has led to the destruction of the wall.

"According to Mr. Midgard, it means Urk is in a state of excitement and out of control,"

"Excited... out of control...?

I don't get the guidelines.

"As a result, Wolk said he used a built-in wave light cannon in his right arm, but Mr. Midgard thought about the future and applied a seal to those built-in weapons."

(gut armed...)

Wolk will have a number of built-in weapons that can destroy the walls between Nanbu. The Demon Crystal doll is said to be a combat weapon. It's no surprise, or strange, that some kind of weapon was built in. Nevertheless, it is something I could never have imagined, such as a built-in weapon with destructive power that could make a big hole in a thick wall, and it is something that deserves stunning. That is, comparable to summoning armies.

"By sealing, I mean, that's never gonna happen again?

"Yes, at least if you fall into a state of excitement in the future, even if you lose control, wavelight cannons and their equivalent built-in armaments will never be used."

"Hmm..."

"It would be strong enough without the use of built-in armaments or something in the first place, so it doesn't even seem like it would decrease that much as a stand-alone force. If you think you've gone wild and stopped involving your allies, you should think you're glad this incident happened."

"Did Midgard say that?"

"Yes, it seems to have happened unexpectedly to Mr. Midgard."

Whether Setuna smiled bitterly because she remembered Midgard's face at that time.

You can ask Midgard directly.

"Excited...... na"

"They've never seen Wolk out of control before."

"Why, are you asking me if I was excited?

"Let Mr. Midgard speak. It's like it's my fault."

"Yours?

Leongand looked into Setuna's eyes. Red eyes like blood, looking at this one. There was confusion in his eyes, and it felt like he himself, even though he didn't know it very well. In fact, that's what I'm going to say.

"I'm not sure, but Mr. Midgard was analyzing if Urk ran wild with excitement because he was watching me."

"... what are you?

Setuna also smiled bitterly as Leongand asked bitterly. That's the only way. Leongand's questions don't get guidelines, either, and it's like he doesn't know how to answer them.

"I know Belle and Miliu. Ein, too. Reapers would be good too. But it's strange that even dragons and magic puppets want you and want to be on your side."

"Strange..."

That's not a bad thing. Instead, it's directly linked to Gandia's increased combat power, so you should be pleased. Whether it was Ragna or Urk, there was no such thing as Gandhia's power without Setuna. Setsuna alone is too much power, but in addition to Setsuna, the addition of such forces as Dragons and Demon Crystal Dolls allowed Gandhia to gain up to excessive power.

There is no trouble with the unification of small groups of nations because they have too much power. Rather, the more, the better. With overwhelming power, it's not hard to win without fighting.

I can't just fight anything.

No, lower measures, such as a solution in war, are also lower measures. It is a last resort, such as restraint by force. War carries sacrifices. Expenses hurt, and there's a lot to lose. Impossible, usually, such as an intact victory. In that regard, if the problem could be solved more than war, it would not cause human harm. At least, it should be much less than the sacrifices we lose by war.

Perhaps that's why I've come to think about it so much, because the streak between last year and this spring is now enjoying it.

"But you with such a strange charm come to me. I'm happy about that."

When Leongand told him how honest he felt, Setsuna smiled like a light.

"I don't know if I'm attracted or not, but if that's for Your Majesty, I'm glad."

I was simply delighted with Setuna's words like that.
