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

The tripartite talks at the Knights headquarters led to beneficial conclusions for the Knights, the Empire and Setuna.

The Western Zaion Empire succeeded in compensating for the lack of force for the Eastern Zaion Empire by securing Setuna and Lem. Seems Setuna's reputation within the Empire is so high that Lancelot praises her for not needing any further reinforcement.

Then why didn't you ask Setuna to cooperate from the beginning, simply because the imperial side misunderstood Setuna's position. Apparently, the Imperial side assumed that Setuna belonged to Benoagard and made a request to the Knights for their cooperation, also because they thought that if they spoken down the Knights, they could borrow Setuna.

There is no doubt that the Floods' referring to Setuna and calling him the Knight of Honor misled Lancelot and Nina.

Once that misconception was resolved, Nina told Lancelot that she should have signed up for Setuna from the beginning, which was good because she needed to discuss it with the Knights in any case. Nina had a responsibility to explain to the Knights that she had built a camp in Benoagard territory. Besides, it would have been your word if you could have borrowed strength from the Knights as well as Setuna, even if you understood Setuna's position correctly.

Setsuna was able to get a ship to go for Lyohan. It is essential to cross the sea. Moreover, it was a proven ship that crossed the ocean far from the Southern Zaion continent and came as far as the island of Benoa. This would have reassured me that I would be able to withstand the long journey towards Lyohan, and that there would be all that sailing technology.

Nina and the others stood up for peace of mind about the ship. However, Nina had a blue face that she didn't seem to be very comfortable with the voyage and wasn't much to recommend.

Lyohan's location remains unknown, and we don't know how long it will take to find him, but anyway, we got the means to cross the ocean. This can be said to be an irreplaceable achievement.

It is arguably a far better result than finding a country in the process of building a sea ship in the countries of the island of Benoa or waiting for the Knights to complete the ship. Because the countries of Benoa are landlocked. Even if you've ever flown a boat in a river or a lake, you can't possibly have sailed the ocean. There is no such thing as sailing technology.

In that regard, the Imperial Army's navigation skills are origami at the point where we can get there.

Don't you need to worry about anything?

Setsuna was so optimistic and Lem and others were excited to go out to sea for the first time.

Even seeing the sea was the first time Lem visited the camp. At that time, he was desperately curbing his excitement because it wasn't if he was making noise, but later on, what I heard was that he was pretty high. Seeing a blue area that runs to the end of the horizon, she seems to have felt impenetrable.

The Knights were pleased to be able to give back their benevolence to Setuna.

Setuna said she was getting so much back, but I felt head down for the Knights' never-ending gratitude.

Knights chief Osfeld Zan-Ward said that to this extent, he could return the favor to Setsuna.

"Lord Setuna is the hero who saved this Benoagard from the existential crisis. It's not an exaggeration when it comes to the Savior. Satisfied by this degree of work, there is no standing for the Knights'

Both Luveris and Sid nod calmly to the astonishing words of Ozfeld.

Setsuna didn't mean to go that far. Setuna worked for Benoagard, for the Knights, in return for his gratitude to the Knights. I have honored Terius for protecting Rem for two years, and for protecting and respecting Maria. The repayment to them fought for, and the repayment of the repayment felt a little, strange.

I'm not in a bad mood.

Instead, he recognised that he was in an extremely refreshing mood and that such a place in the Knights deserved respect.

Ozfeld has made it clear that the Knights will continue to support Setuna and would love for them to stop by Knights headquarters when they stop in Benoagard in the future. Setuna understood without one or two and thanked the Knights for their attitude.

Neither did Setuna complain that the outcome of the talks by the three parties was such and a delightful outcome for each of the three.

"Thank you for securing the means to cross the sea, Master."

"Oh. Not at all."

Setuna, who had successfully concluded the talks and had followed the Knights headquarters, was walking along with Rem in the central district of Benoa. Coordination with the Imperial side in the wake of the talks will take place at a later date, until then, when Setuna and the others became free. For that reason, Setuna used this time to head to the Knights' College of Medicine to greet Maria.

Leaving Benoa means I won't be back here for a while. There is even uncertainty as to whether we can reach Lyohan safely. Even if we get to Lyohan, we don't know how many months or years ahead it is.

The world was split apart by “great destruction”. The impact will appear on future journeys. Where in the vast sea is the earth of Lyohan's presence floating, we must first find it. It will be a long journey.

I couldn't think of anything like leaving Maria.

In the first place, I was to go to Lyohan because Maria recommended me. Faria and the others should go to Lyohan, waiting.

"If we didn't get the ship, we could have ended our lives here."

The story that the countries on the island of Benoa may be building ships to roll out to the outer sea is only about possibilities, which could also be said to be only a small possibility. If it had been a complete recovery from the chaos that followed the “Great Destruction", it would still not have been, and it was very unlikely that any foreign country would embark on the building of a ship than had to think about the domestic situation as well as the neighbouring countries. Still, there was nothing but a bet on that possibility.

"I can't believe it's a lifetime. Everyone in Benoagard has built a ship, I'm sure."

"I don't know if that's too sweet."

It was the moment Setuna leaked the truth.

"Say what!

Speaking from behind her back, Setsuna was so surprised that she wondered if her heart might pop out of her mouth. Turning around, Flood was there.

"Whoa, Mr. Flood... I'm surprised"

"No, this is rude."

Flood saw Setuna's surprise and immediately apologized.

"But the Knight of Honor. My Knights, my Benoagard, have an unlimited duty to you, so it is only natural that you dedicate yourself to one or two of the ships, the Knights of Honor. There's nothing the Knight of Honor cares about."

"One or two ships, no, no."

"The Knight of Honor has a low self-esteem."

I guess the reason Flood made his expression rude was because he had somewhere to think about it.

"What the Knight of Honor has done is so important that it should be inscribed in the history of Benoagard. Had it not been for the Knight of Honor, it would have been attacked and destroyed sooner or later by Nea Benoagard. With Astral Evil Gods gone, Nea Benoagard is probably not enough. Relations with the Knights of Izfel have also improved and the future of Benoagard has been brightened"

Every word of Flood seemed to echo in my chest. Probably because the words have a real sense of it.

"And this is thanks to the Knight of Honor for doing all he can."

"That's too much praise, Mr. Flood"

"Rinse, etc. I still don't admire this."

"Ha."

"It's not funny."

He looked like Flood was slightly overwhelmed. I guess it's because I'm not sure how Setuna reacts.

"Thank you, Mr. Flood"

"Yes?"

"Thanks to Mr. Flood, my days in Benoagard were delightful."

"Ho. Good morning. I was able to do my part, too."

"Totally."

Setuna said, Flood grinned. Setuna recognises time and again that Flood's nostalgic smile has the power to give great peace to the heart of what she sees. Maybe that's why he was especially glanced at among the orthodox knights and entrusted with the care of the Setunas.

Such a flood would already be goodbye.

It was lonely, but there was no choice.

The Knights of Benoagard. There's no way I can take him on a long journey to Lyohan. He has a wife. There should be no such thing as letting your family go and accompanying Setuna and the others on their journey.

"If that's what you told the Knight of Honor, more importantly. The Knight of Honor will never be able to work at all."

"What do you want?"

"That's right. Master Flood has a role to play. And I think the role can't be imitated by anyone else."

"Lord Knight of Honor, Lord Lem... what shall I say?"

Setsuna was surprised that Flood had come with tears in his eyes. Rem will be surprised too. Who would imagine that Flood would be so impressed that he would weep? He made a fist and hit himself in the chest, shaking his body.

"It is a lifelong pride to meet you and to have been a caregiver during your stay in Benoa."

"Me too."

Setuna smiled toward Flood.

I'll never forget Mr. Flood.

That's a promise.

It's a promise to yourself, a promise to Flood.

Benoagard Knights Orthodox Knights Flood Zan-Esteban.

Meeting him, his days with him, were limitless beneficial to Setuna. Without him, my days in Benoa must have been terribly tasteless. It was because he was there and he baked a lot of care that outsiders like Setuna were able to stay comfortable.

I never thanked him for that.
