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

Mountain guardian.

Apparently, the Mountain Protection Conference, which highly valued Setuna's achievements in the Second Lyohan Defense War (they call it), established such a new medal after consultation with the goddess of war.

And a few days after Setuna woke up, on March 16, five hundred and six years of continental history, the ceremony for the award of the Medal became a carriage. Already the Arbitrage Award and the solace ceremony of the war dead in the Second Lyohan Defense Battle have been performed, and this ceremony is only to award Setuna a new medal.

Why sixteen days, naturally, was to wait for Setuna's health to recover. Though Setsuna was in a state where she could move around the next day, Lyohan's side became cautious and made Emil check Setsuna's health more than once.

'I just couldn't do it, so you should be so careful'

While appreciating Emil's such care, I also thought it would just be tiring to be locked in a room more than recovering to an almost complete state. Nevertheless, reunion with Emil was a joy, and when I found out that she was still healthy about Ruufa and that Ruufa loved her again, it was something I was as happy about as I was about myself.

Then after more than a few days, it was the fifteenth day that I finally got a heartbeat from the doctor that I don't mind moving around. It was reported to the Mountain Protection Conference within that day and meant that the ceremony was ready immediately.

Lyohan said that sometimes the Mountain Protection Conference is partitioning politics, and that everything moves fast, but Setsuna also had to be surprised by the reaction, which was too early. Gandia was also a faster mover, but not as good as Lyohan. Lyohan may be a city, but if he decides quickly that he has done so, it is extremely fast to move to action. At this speed, we will be able to respond immediately to most of the problems, and the citizens will not be dissatisfied. It also seemed to me to prove that good politics was being done.

The morning after being pushed to the heartbeat by Emil, Setsuna left the Mansion of Miryu, dressed in a courtesy garment prepared by Lyohan's side and also with Rem in a costume for the ceremony. Your mansion is called by such a name because it is still a mansion on a small high hill. Indeed, it appeared to be higher in the aerial capital than others. Although it is strange to say that there is a hill at the top of the mountain.

On the road, the most squad of the Guardian Peak Samurais is following me as an escort. Setsuna is unnecessary, for example - if it's an escort, Lem alone is enough, and Setsuna doesn't need an escort or anything in the first place - and the Guardian Peak Samurai didn't hear that it was an order of the Mountain Protection Conference. It seems that the Mountain Protection Conference did not protect the safety of the hero who saved Lyohan, but what was the Guardian Peak Samurai Corps, etc. And as a Guardian Peak Samurai, I think that's the best idea. There is also no objection to the words of the squadrons that violating orders would cause inconvenience to their physical condition. Setsuna and I don't want to bother the captain of the squad the most.

Walk through the city of the aerial capital, protected by more than ten armed summoners. The destination is a building called the Battle Palace, the throne of the goddess of war. It means that the Battle Palace is not an exaggeration when it comes to the center of Lyohan, but also the temple of the goddess of war. From what Rem told me, it was just a compliment to Faria that it was a cold place and how could she live in such a place for years. Though I didn't know what that was all about, once I got to the Battle Palace, my doubts were iced away.

The Battle Palace is located on the north side of the Lyohan Aerial Capital. I had to walk quite a distance from your mausoleum, but Setsuna thought it was just the right salt plum to get rid of her lack of exercise and didn't use a horse. Lyohan is a large, three-tiered city. It is normal to use horses and carriages for travel, and even the general public often has horses they love. It's also all horses that can run through this world's highest steep Mount Lyov, and it's also convincing that Faria, accustomed to such horses, was good at handling horses.

"Are you saying there are quite a few connections between Aerial Capital and Mountain City and Mountain Gate Street?

"Yes, those who live in Yamagata often visit the Aerial City for a glimpse of the goddess of war, and the inhabitants of the Aerial City rarely go to Mountain City to outrun the cold"

One of the squadrons answers Setuna's question.

Lyohan is a city that combines the three residential districts of Aerial City, Mountain City, and Mountain Gate Street. Each has its own characteristics, and each inhabitant may be proud of their own neighbourhood. Though opinions rarely collide with that, and sometimes it seems to be a fierce conflict, in many cases, the goddess of war intercedes and gets nothing. The goddess of war found that Lyohan must be present, so that she could take it from that one thing.

During the absence of the goddess of war, Lyohan had been accommodated by the Mountain Protection Conference. That, he said, would have turned well, and if it had not stayed the same, it would have entered exactly the human age, also coming from the information that Rem gathered with his ears. But it didn't go so well. It's because of the Great Destruction. The "Great Destruction” destroyed the order that the Mountain Protection Council had until then attempted to build by the time it was skinless. Every citizen of Lyohan sought salvation from the goddess of war and gasped. The Mountain Protection Conference also gave up the advent of the human age and had to rely on the goddess of war.

I diagnosed Phalia with Goddess of War inheritance, and Phalia would have gotten lost, but accepted it.

That was about two years ago.

Then again, Lyohan is able to live a steady day, so we can see how Lyohan relies on the presence of a goddess of war. And in that position, I feel indescribable when I think of Faria's hard work in continuing to fight to fulfill her responsibilities.

Never, Setuna can't replace her shoulder.

If it's a battle, if it's a war with swords and bows, then Setsuna's turn. But if it's politics, it's not a story. Nor can Lyohan, even if he was the owner of a political arm other than Setuna, be able to take the place of Faria, for example. It has to be Faria.

Unless you're a goddess of war, you can't.

Everything is turning well because he is the successor chosen by his predecessors.

While passing through the ancient ruins of Lyohan's entire town, Sethuna had thought of such things based on stories he had heard from Rem and Ruufa. It is not Falia Belfalia-Aslalia, who Setuna knows, but Phalia-Aslalia, the second generation goddess of war, who is waiting for us now. If you don't keep that in mind, you may be disappointed.

Sometimes that happened, there was no spiritual room in Setuna for pleasure in the eyes of the town of the aerial capital. I keep thinking about Faria.

And when we reached our destination, the full contents of the battle palace, which used the remains of the ancient ruins themselves, as well as your mausoleum, appeared in Setuna's eyes. Surrounded by thick stone walls on all sides, but without gates, I was under the impression that anyone could enter and leave freely without a security person for that matter. That wasn't just about the gates anything, it was about the whole building being an open space, as they didn't have any doors or anything in the battle palace either. That's why it's not for a secret conversation, because a little shouting sounds inside the battle palace, so what's inside usually starts talking in a whisper.

Although the main entrance of the Battle Palace is consolidated by the squadrons of the Guardian Peak Samurai Corps, when Setuna and the others approached, they were greeted with the utmost salute. And one old gentleman stood inside the gate, as if waiting for Setuna.

"I've been waiting for you, my hero."

The old gentleman has spoken to Setuna with a solemn expression, attitude.

"I can't believe you're a hero, no"

"You don't need to be modest. You are the undisputed hero who saved Lyohan from his misery. That's why I'm honoring your work this time."

The old gentleman, wearing a cold suit from the top of his courtesy, stared at Setuna. There was an atmosphere in which those dull, shining eyes were powerful and not mere.

"You're late for your offer. I am Alexei-Valdish, acting chairman of the Mountain Protection Conference."

The moment I heard the name, Setsuna grew sober. Speaking of Valdish, it was Faria's grandmother's family name, and the name Alexei-Valdish sounded familiar. Faria told me directly. I can't even forget it.

"Fari...... no, grandfather of the goddess of war...... right?

"Did you know"

"You've heard it from her a long time ago. He said he had sincere respect for you."

"... is that right?"

Alexei must have reacted in a void, of course, because the words uttered by Setsuna were unexpected. I don't know why Setsuna said that, either. He's Faria's grandfather, so maybe he wanted to be liked.

"The goddess of war awaits your arrival in the back. Follow me, please."

As Alexei guided him, Sethuna and Rem went inside the battle palace.
