The thirteenth of April, when the Ark carrying the Setunas reached over the Areutheras, was raw and hateful weather, with the Ark descending towards the shores of the south of the Areutheras amidst the leaded clouds covering the sky and the falling rain. Setuna and the others should have waited on board during that time, and even if they had gone out on the deck, they would not have been wet in the rain thanks to the canopy.

Anyway, the Ark stepped down near an Imperial Army position built on the southern shore of Areutheras. Then, from the Imperial Army position, soldiers of the Imperial Army lined up from Areutheras to surround the Ark with people from the Extreme Rigorous Fighters, gazing at how this one came out. The Ark was originally owned by the Divine Army. It's only natural to be vigilant, and responding with a sense of crisis to sudden approaching would be the right response.

When the Setunas got out of the Ark, both Imperial Army generals and Areutheras fighters seemed equally surprised and stunned.

And from the Imperial Army side, General Rigford Zell-Vandalize, and from the Areutheras side, Warren-Roon, the chief fighter, walked over to Setuna with his escort. I was wary that Setuna might have become the foreman of the Divine Army. He runs the Ark, which is the property of the Divine Army. It was only natural that they could think of it that way, and Setsuna was compelled to de-alert them.

Setuna explained to the two that they were unrelated to the Divine Army and rather in a hostile relationship, as well as touching lightly on why they had decided to use the Ark.

Upon acknowledging Setuna's safety, Rigford seemed honestly pleased and even thrilled to return as promised. As for Rigford, I must have been anxious that Setuna, who suddenly disappeared, would come back as promised.

Warren, on the other hand, has told us that he apologizes for his forceful participation in Setsuna at the Martial Arts Festival and that Rajam, the Martial Arts god, wants a rematch with Setsuna from the bottom of his heart. I wanted to spare you the shears, and I didn't want to seriously fight God or anything, but I received Warren's word.

Later, at the seat of the rapidly opened tripartite talks, I heard stories of Areutheras and the Imperial Army having negotiated and Areutheras agreeing to lend the Imperial Army a selection of fighters. Originally, the Western Imperial Army went out to sea in order to secure its strength against the Eastern Imperial Army, and it was only a matter of extreme natural thought that it would move to acquire its strength besides Setuna. And if you negotiated with Aleuteras on the basis of that idea and tied it to a good result, there is nothing to say.

As for Areutheras, they want to make known the martial names of the Polar Gang fighters by sending selected fighters abroad, as well as to inspire them to bring tourists to Areutheras if, in the future, the means of going to and from the sea are established. Using the Zaion Empire for its propaganda is not bad. The Empire was once the corner of the three great forces and the population is incomparable with other small states. If Areutheras fighters are active in the land, Warren's interest in Areutheras, as he thinks, may increase and lead to attracting audiences in the future.

This is a time when the means to cross the sea have not even been established. If the three forces, starting with the Empire, are still there, it is clear that other countries and regions will embark on the sea a long way from here. Neither has the empire, which has many ships, been able to allow the general public to board the ship, travel abroad, etc., and it will be a distant future for Warren and others to have their thoughts tied to Miwa husband. But it's never going to go to waste.

At the dawn when the Western Empire beat the Eastern Empire and swallowed it, the names of those who served as the Western Empire's forces spread throughout the Empire's territory. If the names of the Areutheras fighters are added there, that alone will be a great publicity.

I guess Warren decided to send the fighters to the Empire after thinking that far.

In time, if the Empire's problems are cleared up, the Empire side acknowledges that it is a condition from Aleuterrace that a selection of warriors be dispatched from among the Imperial Army to Aleuterrace to participate in the fighting. Thus an alliance was formed between the Western Zaion Empire and the Areutheras.

While Setuna and Rem disappeared, it showed General Rigford's competence not only to wait, but to keep moving for the Empire. Rigford, anyway, I guess he didn't want to waste his time, and he didn't seem to have the same idea of leaving everything to one Setuna.

Setsuna explains where she disappeared in the middle of the Martial Arts Festival and then what she was doing. When Lyohan tells him that he was in the middle of a war with the Divine Army and that if he was a little behind, he would have been in a lot of trouble, Warren-Roon has deeply apologized for Rajam, the god of struggle, for his exuberance in the fight against Setuna. Setuna, however, had the idea that he had made it to Lyohan, rather thanks to Rajam, and told him about it.

Rajam, the god of struggle, was alone in the battle against Setuna, and he showed great power, but Setuna also had to respond because of it, and as a result he caught a glimpse of the battle in Lyohan. If, at that time, Rajam had begun his martial arts as a ritual, Setsuna would not have known about Lyohan's situation either. At least, there shouldn't have been a hurry until we were fully armed.

It can be said that Setuna was able to protect Faria thanks to Rajam.

Warren seemed somewhat relieved to hear such Setuna's thoughts.

The tripartite talks then came to an end, without any particular help, and the forces of Areutheras were to be raised to the city, and the Imperial Army began preparations to hasten away the positions erected on the southern shore of Areutheras. The Imperial Army led by Rigford stayed on the south bank of Areutheras for a long time only because they were waiting for Setuna's return. There is no better reason for Setsuna to stay here than to serve her purpose in Lyohan and return. We must cross the sea as soon as possible and return to the mainland of the Empire.

"But I am truly relieved that Lord Setsuna has returned safely."

Rigford laughed a lot after ordering the position to be paid off, rocking its lumpy body.

"If it's true, I would have liked to come back a little sooner."

"No, no, that's not surprising if it should take longer, and it should be more of a miracle to be back in such a short period of time"

So it was the Ark that Rigford looked after. Under cloudy skies, the huge hull of the Ark emits an unusual presence. Naturally, I'm not growing wings when it's on the ground. But still, it's a huge and unparalleled beauty to behold.

Rigford only refers to the fact that he's back in the air, not so much so. Normally, we should have taken the road to Lyohan, in which case it is obvious that it is not a distance that can be reached in a day or two. Dozens of days, on horseback, would have had to travel. Then it would have taken the same number of days to come back, and Rigford and the others were prepared to stay for a few months or so. It was an inexorable story for them to rejoice because that was done in a very short period of two months.

"Besides, they got the ark. This is also unwanted for our empire"

"I'm sure it will also help us in our war with the Eastern Empire."

is Ensign Jade-Mesa Western Imperial Army. Having acted with him on the Areutheras, he was originally the one who was supposed to be heading to Lyohan with the Sethnas, and he was sincerely pleased that the Sethnas had returned from Lyohan. At the same time, he seems to miss his inability to go to Lyohan.

"Uhm. Just a ship floating in the sky can also terrorize the people of the Eastern Empire"

"If Lord Setuna is on there, let's have a great effect......!

Jade got excited, but that seemed to be because he saw the battle between Setsuna and Rajam, the god of struggle. He would have questioned Setuna's strength until then, but Setuna's battle at the Martial Arts Festival shocked him.

"Uhm."

"Don't worry about fighting the Eastern Empire as long as we're around."

Setuna, straining her chest, told her. Setsuna Line can be more than one country when it comes to power. It is unclear whether it stands alongside all the forces of the Imperial Army, but there is no doubt that it is at least a very formidable force. Faria, there are two of the highest armed summoners of our time named Miliu, and there are also Darks. Elina is limited to support, but her strength is tattooed by her master, Miliu. There is even Rem, the immortal reaper, and Setuna, the user of black spears.

There will be no element for the Western Empire to lose.

"Oh... this is as reliable as it gets"

Rigford makes an exclamation and Jade and the others snort a lot. Then Miliu brought tea in from behind.

"Setsuna, I think it's too much for one person."

"Well, yeah."

"You're right."

"Yeah, yeah!

Seeing Faria, Rem and Elina react to each, Setuna half-eyed.

"Come on, you're gonna overkill me."

"That's not true!

When Miliu is outraged, the three of them come aboard it.

"Well, we need to reduce Setuna's burden."

"Exactly."

"Yeah, yeah!

"... you guys really think so"

Setuna dropped her shoulder, feeling kind of tired of their interaction.
