It was on the 19th of December, five hundred and fifty years of the continental calendar, that Setuna left Sunstrea for Benoa.

One Orthodox knight, three associate knights and fifteen subordinate knights under Rowfa will accompany them as guides, and face-to-face meetings are taking place before departure.

The knights were all men with white skin characteristic of the Northerners, and there was not a single woman. The Knights did not recognize a female knight, and to be a female but knight, they had no choice but to volunteer for the Knights of Izfail. And the Knights of Izfail have heard that they know the Knights of Benoa. Sometimes what I once heard was that the Knights and the Knights had the same mother and should have been in a system of cooperation, but “great destruction” seemed to have worsened the relationship between the two organizations. He pinches a story in his little ear during his stay in Sunstrea that the Marcal-led Sunstrea independence issue also seems to be involved. I haven't explored the details because the feeling worked that I would be able to hear more about them in Benoa. It is definitely more meaningful to speak directly to the Knights chiefs, who are parties, than to ask knights and soldiers.

The name of the Orthodox Knight was Flood Zan-Esteban.

The Orthodox Knight is allowed to name Zan, the Knight's title, but no such title was given below the Associate Knight. There is a clear difference between a quasi-knight and an ortho-knight.

Flood seemed considerably older than Rowfa and his appearance looked like he was in his late thirties, a person who had built up a fine mustache, including his physique, etc., and was reluctant to look at it. It was also a good impression that it was basically bright and pleasant, and there were no anxiety elements in any of his direct reports, the three quasi-knights and the fifteen subordinate knights.

"I want Lord Setuna to be delivered safely to Benoa as a top priority. Lord Setuna's presence will be an unparalleled force for the Knights"

"Ha! As a knight of Benoagard, I risk my life to complete my mission."

When Flood affirmed, correctly posturing, Rowfa said something unexpected as he stared into his eyes.

"Be prepared, but do not let your lords die. Your Lords are important to the Knights. Besides, Lord Setsuna can protect himself as much as he can."

"Ha!"

Setsuna also felt her chest get hot for Flood's reaction like she was impressed. Neither did Setuna imagine that Rowfa cared so much about the lives of every Knights knight. No, regardless, I know that the Knights value one's life, and I understand that they have put up salvation for it and continue to fight only for it. But the Knights, for the completion of their philosophy, had some sacrifices about meditating on their eyes. Understanding that it was impossible to save anything, backwards of the desire to save everything, he was acting on the obvious idea of truncating the small to save the great.

So I guess you haven't even put it in numbers, like the life of a Knights knight - that's how I've been thinking about it, but on second thought, that couldn't have happened. There is no difference between each of the knights being an important force of war for the Knights.

The only difference between the thirteen knights and the other knights is whether they were chosen by the Savior God Mivula or not, and if the thirteen knights had vacancies, it could be that they would be filled from just knights.

"Lord Setuna. Be careful on the road."

Rowfa also cared about Setuna.

"This world has changed since the Great Destruction. Divine men, divine beasts, divine demons... monsters that have no enemies for mankind have traveled, and it has just become harder to live. With the Black Spear and Lord Setuna, the monsters lag behind as much as they do, but the danger is no different."

"Advice, it hurts"

"I'm not questioning your prowess, for once."

"Yeah. I know. Mr. Rowfa, you're safe."

Smiling and breaking up with Rowfa, Setuna headed with the Floods to the north gate of Sunstrea. Sunstrea is a city covered with walls on all sides without leaking into the exception of continental cities. The entrance and exit gates were north and south of the city. The destination, Benoa, is far north of Sunstrea. For this reason, Setuna and the others went for the North Gate, where they took hold.

The city army led by Sylvie-Rencord was waiting. Both Silvier and the soldiers of the city army wear military uniforms, carry even weapons, and are aligned around the North Gate. Strange tensions drifted around the North Gate, until then a citizen of Sunstrea, who had cheered on the Setunas, saw how it was, and swallowed solitude.

"What does this... mean?

"Come on?"

In contrast to the questionable Flood, Setsuna was extremely optimistic. Because Sylvie smiled at me for a moment.

Then Sylvie opened her mouth and shouted.

"Salute Lord Setuna!

Along with the decree of Sylville, soldiers of the city army have paid homage to Setuna in unison. None of the hundreds of soldiers have an unsatisfactory look as one. I guess everyone knows, understands and grasps what Setuna has done. Is the shock of the venerable mayor being a divine man and the realization that there would not have been a right future for Sunstrea if it had not been overthrown, connected to the soldiers' attitude towards Setuna? Either way, Sylvie's influence is definitely strong.

On the horse, Setuna flaunted her shoulder.

"... it's a big deal."

Then Sylvie walked over and shook her head.

"No. Lord Setuna. You have saved Sunstrea from a peace full of falsehood and deception. Not only I, but everyone in the city army, anyone in the citizenry and him, are grateful to you. Without you, Sunstrea could have gone to doom in a false peace"

And she offered the crate she had in her hand toward Setuna. Setuna, after receiving it, looked into Silvier's eyes. Beautiful blue eyes. I even have the impression that it's neat somewhere.

"Is this...?

"A token of gratitude from me."

She tried to lighten up.

'Cause I can't keep up.'

And so on, she said, and hung up. I suppose he wants you to have it in his place. Setuna, understanding Silvier's thoughts, tucked the crate in a load bag with it on his horse's back. Then I say to Sylville.

"I'll take care of it."

"No...... the"

"Hmm?"

"I'm glad you're wearing it."

Setsuna smiled and nodded at Sylvie's somewhere embarrassing offer.

"Then let's do it"

"Thank you"

"That's weird."

"Yes?"

"It's this way to thank you. Thanks."

Setuna offered her hand toward Sylville. Sylvie shakes my hand when she's afraid. I exchanged stiff handshakes because there was no other way to respond to her thoughts.

"Lord Setuna..."

"Bye. I'll be back."

"Yes. I'll be waiting for you. forever."

It wasn't Setuna who didn't realize the thoughts put into Sylvie's hot gaze, but he didn't need anything more.

Dive through the Sunstrea North Gate and leave the city as Sylville-led city troops and citizens drop you off. A short distance from Sunstrea, Flood pulled over a horse.

"You can't bone that sturdy Sylvie, Lord Setsuna, in the corner."

"Are you famous?

"Yes, the female knights of the Knights of Izfel are famous for their stubbornness, but especially the stubbornness of those influenced by Shanor, even the thirteenth knight."

"Heh."

"I never imagined Sylvie would ever have that tender look."

Thanks to Flood's light mouth, Setuna understood not only what it meant to be one of Sylville, but also the astonishing meaning of the city army soldiers she saw then. I guess Sylvie is basically the one who doesn't smile. It was not hard to imagine her constant Buddha peak in front of the soldiers of the City Army, who would weigh in on her full duties as City Army Governor, or else it might be difficult to keep discipline. On top of that, Sylvie's reputation never goes down, which means that's all she understands about her work.

(Also...?)

It must be fulfilled more than we have exchanged promises.

Also, one day, in order to be sure to visit Sunstrea, Setuna had to serve her purpose.

How can we serve that purpose?

So far, I'm not even sure about that.

It's vague, it's abstract.

Save this world...

If you don't know how to do that, first, you just have to do what you can.

The liberation of Sunstrea is one of them and one of the things you can do to get to Benoa.

And stopping by Reaper's bedroom on the road to Benoa was also something Setsuna could do now.

(Rem...... are you all right?

Setsuna was all about it.

When he went to hell and lost his connection to this world, his connection to her was also broken again. And back from hell, the connection remained cut off.

Is she alive?

Doesn't she awaken forever, sleeping in the bedroom of the Reaper?

Such anxiety hastened Setuna.

The Reaper's bedroom, according to Flood's story, is about northwest of Sunstrea, just halfway between Sunstrea and Crewes End, less than half a day away if you fly a horse.

It was certainly fitting when I ran my horse for about half a day that I saw a group of Benoagard-style buildings far ahead of the knights leading the desolate earth.

"As you can see, that's the Knights-owned resting place - now called the Reaper's Bedroom."

When Flood leaned over to Setuna, he explained as he pointed forward. Though it didn't have to be said, it's not pointless because it was confirmed thanks to the explanation. It was just called a rest stop, and there was just enough site area for a Knights unit to take a break, and a building. There are five stone buildings, leaning against a wide lot, and a large tree stretches a branch leaf by the roof over the head of the group of buildings.

"But be careful"

"Hmm?"

"Reaper's bedroom was well known by the Knights as something they couldn't touch. We didn't expect to stop by Reaper's bedroom."

"Why again?"

"It's..."

Flood couldn't keep explaining because he heard a strange roar and a creepy interrupter continuously.

Setuna and the others instantly understood that Reaper's bedroom was the only battlefield.

"I'll go first. Follow me with great care."

"What?... ha"

"Armed Summoning"

Setuna quickly kicked and accelerated the horse's belly, summoning the black spear without worrying about the Floods' reaction or anything else. Along with the sudden expansion of the five senses, the dilated and sharpened sensations capture the aberration of the reaper's bedroom. I don't care if there's a fight going on, but recognizing those fighting things, it was obvious which one to give.

A flock of wolves with whitened areas and a knight were fighting hard.

A knight would be the one to give.

The knight is Terius Zan-Kayloon.

As one of the thirteen knights, he called the “Phantom” Terius, he did not even use his true body, but beat back the onslaught of the Divine Beasts, surely shredding the whole thing.

It doesn't even have to be covered by Setuna.

That's how I understood it, but Lem was asleep in Reaper's bedroom. I didn't have the option of not covering for Terius here.

Besides, the number of wolves that had been godbeastified was high, and more than ten had been attacked by Terius. It would be quicker to sweep it together.

Setuna fired a ray of destruction without hesitation as she hoisted a black spear on the horse. The light emitted from the tip of the ear causes an explosion to disperse the flesh of the divine beast, the moment it strikes directly into the belly of the wolf that flew on Terius. Several of the wolves turned this way. Jumps off a surprisingly stirring horse and jumps straight forward. Three heads, the eyes of the divine beast capture this one.

"Too late!

Terius broke through the divine beast in front of him with a penetration of a fine sword as he somehow shouted that way.
