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

Episode One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Eight Shadows (2)

In the middle of the night, lost in the shade, I was flying through the sky.

(Is that happening...!

I felt like throwing up and throwing up.

Then I don't know what she's been working on for more than two years. Didn't you just say that all the bleeding effort and the thought of throwing up blood reflexes were in vain?

Regardless, Setuna is someone else. It's someone else in red, not her. I don't know what she meant, and I don't know the truth about what efforts she's been making. It's just imagination. It's enough to be paranoid. But Setuna knows exactly who she will be, and it goes without question that what she undertakes once is someone who will do whatever it takes to get to the end. So stubborn, so firm, so imperfect in the balls that it's not accommodating. If he had taken on the goddess of war, he would have powdered himself and worked, crushing his bones for all things, no matter what his distress or how much he was burdened. All spirits, that's what I've done with enough thoughts to crush my soul.

That's why she was able to create herself into the person the goddess of war deserved.

During the ceremony, Setuna did witness and breathe in the great figure of the goddess of war, Faria-Aslalia. It was such a change that I doubted my eyes and memory as to whether this was that faria. There, there was no Faria known to Setuna. Faria, an assistant captain who always calmly assisted Setuna, was nowhere to be found.

It goes without saying that my days as a goddess of war for two years have created her now. And that is a testament to her efforts to seep blood.

You can't even be a goddess of war overnight.

Even though he was born a successor to the goddess of war and has been educated and trained as a successor, in the goddess of war he had a longer period. I can't even imagine how hard it has been. Setuna's imagination makes it impossible to understand her suffering. That's just a little, regrettable. I want to understand her feelings perfectly. I thought so. That's what I'm thinking.

That's why Setuna was running through the night sky, unable to contain feelings of deviation either. Turn on the full flying speed of the Mail of Dotor and pierce the night breeze. Overhead, the stars of heaven shine. It was like a starry sky that was still coming down. Because the night sky is closer than the earth. The aerial capital is held at the top of Mount Lyov. And Mt. Lyov is a great danger to the world. I wonder if there are thousands of meters of altitude. Anyway, it's expensive, cold for it, and thin air. As a goddess of war in such a world, as a leader, the weight of responsibility for staying as a pillar must be unimaginable.

Isn't it because she is such a woman that one of Lyohan glorifies with the goddess of war?

Setsuna wanted to scream.

Why is Setuna flying through the night sky with so many thoughts and in such a way that she is annoyed by the feeling of impatience?

The cause is a few hours ago.

After Setuna made contact with the old man who was waiting for him in the northern outhouse.

"- Come here, would you like to come?

What the old man in the headscarf showed was the building where he came out. It's a small building. Old buildings with the same structure as other groups of buildings in the northern outhouse. There are no doors, they make reminders of the Battle Palace. Inside, it is shadowed, and it is unlikely that you will be able to peer inside. So far, the old man has not shown any signs that would make Setuna feel alert, but he does not deserve to be trusted in a situation where he is hiding his face and showing only his eyes. Its eyesight was also considerable, which reminded me of a sharp blade that glowed dull.

"What guarantee do you have that you're harmless to me?

"Whether it's harmful or not, it's not a hero's house that gets killed by such an old man?

"If you're alone,"

"... I see, it does make sense. Now let's head to the location designated by the Lord Hero."

"... then"

Setuna nodded, pointing to the building on the south side. None of the old man's arranged numbers were likely lurking in the building either, but it was decided that there was no need for special vigilance. It's hard to imagine that an old man could have the power to assassinate Setsuna, even if he was harmful to Setsuna and let his gestures lurk. It's the opposite of what I'm saying, but I said it just to pretend that I'm on guard.

I don't even have to be vigilant.

Step inside a building in the south, aware of the distance from the old man.

The building, like the others, was wrapped in dark shadows. The chilled air makes you realize the low temperatures above Gandhia in the middle of winter, and you understand through yourself how that country was blessed with the climate. Gandhia, with its particularly mild climate among the small group of nations, had four seasons, and in March it was surrounded by mild spring sunshine and temperatures. Lyohan is different. Winter dominance was still strong, and spring was far enough away to be said to be far away.

Under such cold skies, the night brings us closer and the temperature keeps dropping. Sometimes I wear cold clothes and I don't know how long it will last. It will also be a matter of time before you want to get warm in a cage in a room in your mausoleum.

Nevertheless, we are now concentrating on the situation in front of us and the cold was not a major problem.

The old man in cold clothes on the headscarf waited for Setuna to see what was going on in the building before coming in. When the old man put his hand around him, a light lit, both pale and cold, illuminating what was going on in the lazy building. It's a portable magic light. Is it for the way home, which will probably be dark, or for a secret conversation in the building? Probably both.

"Adequately, make sure. We still have time."

"... it's like some time is approaching. Dialogue, huh?

"Yeah, well..."

The response of the old man is what a good one, and we get no guidelines.

Setuna had no choice but to examine the building a little and immediately gave up. Something was like a material storage area, and there was no hidden gap between the various luggage stacked in the building. Though it's called the outhouse, it's probably not that important an institution apparently. I guess that's why I've designated it as a secret meeting place.

"But I didn't think Lord Hero would respond to such a suspicious letter without warning."

The old man did not indulge in the contents of the letter he received from the child, and seemed to question Setuna's lack of vigilance for coming so far. Maybe it's closer to disappointment than doubt. Setuna, however, pokes at the old man's void by saying it out loud.

'Cause you don't have to be on guard.'

"Hmm?"

"Even if it wasn't an old man like you who showed up on this scene, and there were more than one armed summoner, you wouldn't hurt me."

Again, it was the opposite of what was said earlier, but the old man just didn't seem to care. Instead, they care more about Setsuna's such unscrupulous remarks. I'm frowning.

"I am very confident. I don't even think of this place as the main mountain of armed subpoena..."

"I can't imagine what that armed subpoena would say to the opponent who saved the crisis of the survival of Omotoyama."

"... Indeed"

The old man smiled bitterly and narrowed his eyes, even though he thought he had taken one. The number of wrinkles that are carved into multiple pieces is still like a yearly wheel, making him feel the weight of the time he carries. And when he shook his head, he reached for his headscarf.

"You're right. That's why I have to rely on you. Lord Setuna."

"Are you..."

Setuna lost much of the word of shock the moment she saw the face of the old man, who had taken the headscarf in large part. It was Alexei-Valdish, acting chairman of the Mountain Protection Council, who emerged from the scarf.

"Mr. Alexei...... right? Faria, no, of the goddess of war's grandfather."

Setuna had no idea what it was and had no choice but to ask him its name. Without having to ask, it is clear that he is Alexei himself. It can't be someone else in red just like that. If such a person is in Lyohan, Faria must be asking. I'm not someone else with the same face than I don't have to talk about that. Alexei-Valdish himself. That's why Setuna gets confused. Why did someone like him summon Setuna? No, if that's all, it still is. But why, I had to take such a dull way.

The old man snorts harshly.

"Yes."

"Why did someone like you use such a laborious method? If you need me to run errands, why don't you call me directly?"

"It is easy to call you if you do use the authority of acting Speaker. But with that method, you may call for unwanted speculation, and you may call for unnecessary vigilance."

"Alert?"

It is not unknown to fear that it might call for unnecessary speculation.

Lem has also told me that Alexei's position is a delicate one. Rem's hell-ear (intelligence-gathering using "Reaper”) is also very helpful in knowing Lyohan's internal circumstances.

He acted as Speaker because the earlier Speaker, Mordoa-Fabril, suffered a policy failure and resigned to blame. It is the role of the Acting Speaker to fill the void until the next Speaker is decided, and he was elected to act as Speaker because of the length of his term. It is not that they have bought strength or merit, but that, if they exercise too much authority to act as chancellor, they may create certainty and resentment with other members of parliament, and they are not in a situation where they can behave in a manner that was too tabular. Therefore, it was not known that he would refrain from using his powers as Acting Speaker to meet Setuna in person.

Besides, Alexei is the grandfather of the contemporary goddess of war, Faria-Aslalia, a figure who can't wait to publicly declare that she puts a great deal of shoulder in the goddess of war. If that's what he wants to do with the goddess of war, meet the hero "Shield Yama-yi Samurai” Setsuna alone, then crap speculation could have flown.

Being vigilant about that and using such procedures to meet Setuna is understandable enough. But apparently, his kind of vigilance is not about himself.

"Yes, it's very troublesome for us for them to be alert and cautious."

"The slaves? I can't see the story at all."

"So I'm going to go straight in."

Alexei made his bitter face even tougher.

"Tonight, the assassination plan for the goddess of war will be executed."

"Ha......!?

Setsuna covered her mouth with both hands, raising a barbaric voice to Alexei's remarks that she had no idea. No matter how unpopular the detachment of the northern outhouse is, if you raise your voice, someone might hear you. In that case, Setsuna, anyway, Alexei is bad. Of course, although Rem is using "Reaper” to hit perimeter alert, in case an outsider shows up on this spot, that's the boring speculation that could strangle Alexei.

"What...? The assassination plot? Of the goddess of war?

Rebellion, increasingly confused.

Goddess of War means Falia, no matter what. Faria-Aslalia. A person who is one of Setuna's beloved and beloved grandchildren for the old man. And in the heart of this Lyohan, he was supposed to be as respected and revered as a pillar supporting heaven and earth. He was precisely the person who was supposedly like God and could not possibly be called sacred inviolable, offensive, etc. I've also heard stinking stories. But it was a political issue, and I also heard that none of her political adversaries were rational and could actually do her harm, etc. Besides, assassinating the goddess of war, the root of Lyohan's order, should not have been a pleasure for the political enemies of the goddess of war.

It was Falia who sat on the throne of the goddess of war to sum up the confusion of Lyohan, and it was in fact the confusion that brought stability to Lyohan. If you lose her like that in an assassination, instantly Lyohan's order will be lost and the chaos will accelerate. No one gets it.

"Yes."

"Who the hell is that for?

Setsuna shook herself in unspeakable anger as she stared at Alexei's face full of bitterness. My heart burned and it was like blood boiling all over my body. That extends to Faria's life. I'm glad Setuna's emotions reached a boiling point at once, naturally.

I know from the information that Maria and Ruufa and Lem gathered in Lyohan about how Faria has done for Lyohan, and it was something that Setuna had much to imagine knowing her personality well.

The plan for the assassination of the goddess of war and all that was a denial of such Faria's efforts spanning more than two years.

"Explain it and it will be longer... but you should know"

The old man has told me to mourn.
