"So we should leave here as soon as possible," he said?

Ozfeld's eyes seemed gentle.

The new Knights headquarters has several meeting rooms. They say it's because the Knights are a large organization, and also because countless lower organizations once existed. Those lower organizations, after the revolution, were absorbed by the Knights all that subscribed to the Knights' philosophy. The ones that weren't even knights. In turn, he hopes he was upgraded to a knight, and there may be anecdotes that many things were pleased.

The meeting room with Setuna and the others was the central meeting room only Knights executives were allowed to use, and many of the luxurious desks, chairs and conditioning items, which should also be a symbol of pre-revolution corruption, were still in use. They have not been disposed of, arguably the remnants of political corruption, because the Knights headquarters was immediately transferred to the castle and because this facility became the depository of the Knights of Izfel.

Try Knights of Izfel, they said the idea worked that it was a waste of resources to dispose of what could be used, whether it was a symbol of corruption or whatever, but the Ozfelds seemed to think the same.

In addition to Setuna and Ozfeld, the conference room houses Deputy Commander Sid Zan-Rufaus and Knights Executive Luveris Zan-Finwright, with Rem holding back behind Setuna. What keeps her from taking a seat is a position. Regardless, the Ozfeldts asked Lem to take a seat, and Setuna urged him to do the same, but she didn't listen. I have a place in her as a servant. I didn't force myself.

"Yeah... well, that's the thing"

Setsuna nodded as she felt something warm about Ozfeld's reaction. I had no intention of leaving Benoagard as soon as the problem was resolved. The matter of Nair Benoagard is nearing resolution, and there is no reason to stay in Benoagard more than it has been inked by the Knights.

We must aim for Lyohan.

Faria and the others are there.

Ozfeld glanced back at Sid, Luveris and then Setuna.

"I understand very well what Lord Setuna wants to say, and I can only say thank you for those considerations. But we knights think differently."

"Huh...?

"Of course, I do not intend to ask Lord Setuna or Lord Rem to cooperate in the future. Nair Benoagard won't be able to make a move any time soon, and even if he can, he needs a lot of time to prepare his enemies for the current Knights. If so, Benoagard will be cheap for the next few years. With the Knights of Izfail, there is room for negotiation. We also intend to deepen our cooperation with other countries. Your request for cooperation is pending the clearing up of the issue of Benoagard. I'm not trying to pull it off any more than I'm half-cleaned out."

Ozfeld's voice is calm, soft. Just listening is so sweet that I kind of want to cry. Not just the voice. The words that followed were also completely different from the reactions I had imagined, and Setsuna was not surprised.

"But for that matter, neither will I banish you because the Knights are targeting you both by Ashtra. If Ashtra shows up because you are here, let us take the initiative and pledge to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Ozfeld..."

"Ashtra would have originally found pleasure in manipulating Hulberto and plunging Benoagard into chaos. This time Ashtra left Benoagard thanks to the work of Lord Setuna. It is too unreasonable to throw this out because Lord Setuna was to be targeted for it, and there is nothing more than too ungrateful an act"

While Ozfeld spoke, neither Sid nor Luveris kept smiling calmly. They both reacted that there was no objection to Ozfeld.

"As Lord Setuna has cooperated with us in giving back, we are also willing to give back to you for saving Benoagard from confusion"

Setsuna was annoyed by Ozfeld's words. Grace. Nothing heavier than that one word, nothing.

"Lord Setuna, Lord Rem, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for this time, together with the people of Benoagard"

So when he rose out of his seat, Sid, Luveris, learned from it as well. And since I've bowed my head deeply toward Setuna and Lem, Setuna is something I honestly found touching. So much so that I don't know how to react, I've been confused for a while. That's the same with Rem. She was also impressed by the response of the Ozfeldts.

That was sneaky to hear after the meeting.

The meeting, only a little after that, continues.

The content of the continuing meeting means what will Setuna and the others do after this?

Regardless, it does not contest Setuna's course of action to leave Benoagard. Instead, the Ozfeldts seriously bothered me about how I was going from Benoagard to Lyohan.

Benoagard is located at the northern end of the island they call the island of Benoa. Within the island of Benoa there are countries such as Mardia, Silvina, Grandor, Enon, Semlunus, Berkur and Ethosea. Naturally, there is no Lyohan on the island. It was said that Lyohan's existing Vashtarian Community Forces area should be far from the sea, and help across the sea was needed to get to Lyohan. I mean, a ship. Besides, we need a ship that crosses the ocean, and instead of Benoagard, every country on the island of Benoa would not have it with us.

The island of Benoa was originally only part of a group of small continental states. Even though the "Great Destruction” was supposed to cover the outer circumference with the sea, it was originally inland. Water sources such as rivers and lakes exist, and many ships are built to travel the river, but there is no way that they can be rowed out toward the ocean that doesn't know how vast it might be with such things.

"If you don't have a ship, like crossing the sky?

The expression was brightened up as Ozfeld remembered in a word that Leveris casually uttered.

"Speaking of which, Lord Setuna seemed to be able to fly."

"Yeah, well..."

The Mail of Dotor can gain the ability to fly at one end by growing butterfly wings. Though not as fast or flexible as Silfed Feather or Mail Kelvim, it can be said that it performs too well as a combat aid. This definitely broadened Setuna's range of battles.

"Then why don't you just fly away with me on your back?

"You can't."

"It's an instant answer."

"That might also be possible if the spacing to land is shorter..."

"If that's the case, Benoagard won't have a problem with the ships he can prepare."

"Until Lyohan... no, if you jump out cheaply than you don't know how far to the next land, you can do everything you can along the way."

Keeping flying in the Mail of Doater means continuing to drain your mental power. It would have to be about a few hours, and if it were to keep flying for dozens of hours, it would be different. I'll do my best, I'll fall into the ocean. If that happens, there's nothing more we can do. Depletion of mental capacity means loss of health as well. The algae chips of the sea and the only way to disappear. rather than die from the impact of the fall.

"After all, we'll have to prepare the ship."

"Sir Finwright, do you have an idea?

"No, but you can't help thinking about it here, can you? It's not clear."

"That's true...... but it will be the same if you spend your days without thinking"

"So try to hit another country."

"To another country?

"Although Benoagard had a lot of problems and didn't even try to be interested in the outer sea, other countries might not be, right?

"I see."

Sid seemed to have a point, and he nodded loudly.

Are you saying that there may be countries that are building ships for the sea?

"That sort of thing"

Luveris grins.

There are a number of countries on the island of Benoa. After the “Great Destruction”, every country would have been in a state of chaos, but then, more than two years later, many countries would be recovering or facing new chaos. It is certainly not surprising that some of those countries were interested in the outer sea. This is all the more so in a country as severed from its national territory as in Etosair.

"But if there was such a country, what would you do?

"Negotiate first. If that's not the case, then that's the time."

In response to Setuna's doubts, Luveris has meditated on one eye.

"Ma, without the countries that are building sea ships, we can't even negotiate"

"In that case, you'll have to make it in Benoagard"

"Hmm... it's not a bad idea to proceed with construction while contacting countries"

Ozfeld cut it out that way, from Leveris, Sid's story.

"Sooner or later, there may come a time when we will need a ship. Getting ready now is never a bad story, is it?

"I have no objection. It will also be in return for Lord Setsuna."

"Right. Let me thank you thoroughly."

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

"Oh, no thanks. This is gratitude from us. I just want you to take it."

Setsuna was just so impressed with Ozfeld's words.

"The fact that Nair Benoagard's problem has been solved is so much that you just won't be able to name and thank the country. If we don't do this much, we could get a violent backlash from the people."

He went smiling.

"The Knights can only be established with the support of the people."

Regardless, it was pre-construction and, in all seriousness, seemed to be full of gratitude from the Ozfeldts to Setuna and Rem. The thoughts come not only from words, but also from attitudes and expressions. Is it supposed to be sincere? Feeling warm from the bottom of my heart.

Setuna renewed her gratitude to the Knights, as well as sooner or later, she thought she would have to repay them.

I'm going to lay my bounty on repayment, but I guess that's fine. That becomes a human connection, a bond.

The bond is a force.

"You, bond"

Azmarian words pass the back of his brain.

"The invisible thread that connects one to the other - bonding is what can help you and help you save Illus Valle"

It was only then that I didn't really understand the words of the demon I heard in hell, but now I feel I could understand them with my heart. There was such a feeling that the ties to the Knights executives were giving Setuna a great deal of power. It could just be an illusion. Maybe it's my fault. It could be a conjecture. But Setuna thought that was okay.

Even if it was just a fantasy, the bond I felt wasn't a lie.

If what you feel is a lie, then everything in this world is a lie.
