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

Episode Two Hundred Sixty Nine: Nair Gandia (VIII)

When the Ark carrying the Setsunas landed near the Dragon House, a carriage picked them up from the Dragon House.

Setuna and the others embarked on that carriage arranged by the Provisional Government, and as they entered the Dragon House, they immediately headed to the Provisional Heads of Government, who were waiting for them at Heavenly Wheel Palace.

By the way, regarding the story of Setuna and Faria, the pursuit by the Milius was forced to end, just because the Ark had landed. Though Miliu complained about Mayuri for that, Mayuri had to reluctantly obey him as well, as he made an extremely calm and sensible decision that the Nea Gandia issue should be given priority.

'When this problem is cleared up, remember then!

To Miliu's semi-crying words, neither Setuna nor Faria had anything else to worry about.

It's clear that it's nothing that will happen by explaining to the Milius and the others about those days that Rem accidentally brought. Rather than what happens, the fear is stronger that the relationship will deteriorate. Everyone is favoring Setuna. That was a pleasure, and it would honestly be a pleasure. For that reason, Setuna was trying to respond to their favors to the fullest, and she thought that was one of the few favors Setuna could give back.

But confessing to Setuna and Faria “those days” naked for that would be a different story. At least, I don't think that makes anyone happy. Wouldn't Miliu or Sheila just be shocked to learn about the deepening of the relationship between Setuna and Faria? Is there any way I can not hurt them?

Or should we reveal everything?

As a result, it's not what the Milius and the others tried to do, should we cut it off?

I can't do that.

Setsuna's hope is happiness for all. Even if it was nothing but self-satisfying and full of falsehood and deception, Setuna did not want to abandon that hope, nor did she want to break it off. I can't sacrifice someone, something, and just be happy.

Nevertheless, I can't even deny the fact that I love Faria.

So what do I do?

Setsuna had her head troubled by such things on the road until the carriage reached the Heavenly Wheel Palace.

The Setunas, who thus reached the Heavenly Wheel Palace, went to a meeting with the Zalwarn Provisional Heads of Government.

"First, let us rejoice that Lord Sheila is safe, that she is back, and that she is safe."

Immediately before the meeting, Gracia Leia-Gandia, the Empress at the apex of the Provisional Government, in front of the gathering together in the Great Chamber, smiled delighted at Sheila's return. Gracia wasn't the only one who was happy with Sheila's survival. All the Provisional Heads of Government, including Queen Nage Rae-Gandhia and Ryungu Guard head Lewie-Revien, as well as Governor Dunn Edge-Bunell, were heartily pleased that Sheila had shown up safe. Sheila, who was captain of the Neighborhood Guard, and the Dragon Palace are deeply on edge. Dan Edge and Lewie and I were in close contact with each other in response to consultations on the defense and security of the Dragon House, he said. He has also served as his spokesperson since the Queen and Queen moved to the Dragon Palace.

"More importantly, let me thank you, on behalf of all the things, for continuing to protect this Zalwarn for more than two years as Master Nine Tails. Sheila, thank you so much."

"Yes, no... If you can thank me, I ask this Heart of Beast, not me. Even without my consciousness, the Heart of Beast became the Nine Tails, and it seemed to protect the land."

"Summoning armed was willing, wasn't it? And of course, let Heart of Beast thank you from the bottom of my heart. All thanks to Lord Nine Tails we were able to live in peace in this way. Thanks to Sheila, the Heart of Beast and her user."

"I am extremely pleased, Your Highness..."

Sheila bowed her head, taking Gracia's merciful words and trying to tremble with emotion.

All those gathered in the conference room of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Temple of the Heavenly Wheel of the Long Fu must have been struck by such an exchange between Gracia and Sheila. That's what Setsuna was like. For more than two years, though unconscious, it has not changed the fact that we have achieved the feat of continuing to protect the land, and I can't wait to see that the fact is well appreciated and praised.

"... but now you can't rely on Master Kyouo,"

With a reluctant face, it was Eula-Rebayen, the commander of the army's great regiment on the Zalwarn side of the Gandian army. He said Setuna and the others weren't there on the day they first entered the Dragon House, but came back from Thruke a few hours ago. Nagrasia, they were looking around to see what was going on with Thruke. The faces are as brilliant as ever, but there are few parts that resemble the Revien family of Miliu and others. Maybe it means that Miliu's brothers have thick Orian-Lebaen (Orias-Leveia) blood.

"I have heard that the main reason I was asking for Nine Tails was the restraint on the Imperial Army, which ruled the Kruselk side. I'm pretty sure that's true."

"Yes, because the presence of the Imperial Army, which also seeks to control Zalwarn, is the biggest concern."

"Lord Setsuna's mouth... is it good to expect that something has progressed?

"... Yes"

Setuna couldn't help but nod, realizing that it could turn out to betray Gracia's expectations. The problem with the Imperial Army is, look, it's clear. In that regard, Gracia and Nage, among others, should have also achieved satisfactory results for the Provisional Heads of Government. But.

"When it comes to the Imperial Army's response, it should be said that it has been resolved"

"Ooh..."

"Solved? That's Lord Setuna. So, can you let me know how the hell it worked out?"

"Yes."

Setuna, while struck by Gracia's satisfied expression,

"You know that around noon today, Nine Tails suddenly headed in the direction of Malware."

"Yeah, we were all discussing the Imperial Army's move from the other side."

"As I said, Kyouo responded to an attack on Malware by the Imperial Army. And even if he repelled the Imperial Army, it should be noted that Kyouo sat in Malware. Why is that? Because it was clear that the Imperial Army was doing everything in its power to invade west of Malware."

"Well......"

"When you say there's a Master Nine Tails, you give all your strength to the Zalwarn invasion?

"Yeah, they didn't have much later."

"There was no later...?

To answer Eula's question, Setuna chose words.

And he quietly explained why the Imperial Army had now made its invasion of the Zalwarn side full-scale, imitating it to challenge the battle as well against the absolute barrier of Nine Tails.

That the Imperial Army was being driven by a third force that suddenly appeared. That for the Imperial Army, which was losing ground, there was only one way to survive, and that it was hopeless either way. The Imperial Army decided that it was better to challenge the Nine Tails than to challenge the Third Force. In other words, I also told him that that's all the third force is a threat.

"The Third Force? What the hell..."

"Let's talk about that later. Let's start with the disposition of the Imperial Army."

"I struck it off... it doesn't look like it"

"Yes, I made a pact with the Imperial Army and decided to accept it with Zalwarn."

"Accept the Imperial Army…"

"Do you do that, are you a jerk?

To Nage's anxious look, Setsuna nodded confidently. At a time like this, I know that you shouldn't look unconfidential. Regardless, we also know why the Nages are anxious about the acceptance of the Imperial Army. It is too dangerous to trust the Imperial Army, which once ravaged Gandhian territory in the war and was still looking to control this island even now that the war was supposed to be over.

"Rest assured. They want a connection to the mainland of the Empire. Because their greatest hope is to return to the mainland of the Empire. They will never betray us more than they become a bridge between them and the mainland of the Empire."

"I see. That sounds like a relief."

"Nevertheless, as for the detailed discussions with the Imperial Army, it will be after their arrival at the Dragon House"

"What do you mean? They're on their way, huh?

It would also be natural for Gracia to look surprised. Even if we accept the Imperial Army, there should be no such thing as suddenly welcoming us into the Dragon House, which should also be the capital of the provisional government. Originally, we should have accepted it in Malware first and recommended future discussions from there, and before we decided to accept it, we should have arranged it in detail. But in that situation, it's also true that I didn't have time to do that.

"Yes, we have been able to contend for a moment. That's why we came back to Dragon House."

"What the hell is that?

"A third force has warned the provisional government of Zalwarn to surrender."

"Surrender recommendation? Before we start the fight?

"Can I tell you something stupid like that?"

It is also natural for Eura to look bitter.

"By way of illustration, if you hear that Malwale has been attacked and devastated, you can understand their power as well"

"Malwales... devastated?

"I don't..."

"The third force was using an ark that we were taking and utilizing over the Divine Army. In other words, it was the army that we collectively called the Divine Army that was the third force. And here's what they called it."

Setuna thought of the mood of Gracia and Nage, who would be more shocked than anyone else on this occasion, and clogged the words. Even if it were a sign full of falsehoods, if you could name it, you would have to be shocked. Isn't the impact painful, scratchy, and engraved in both hearts? That is why Setsuna did not want to speak the name.

But I have to. There is no more dishonesty than hiding the facts through.

"Nair Gandia"

It goes without saying that Setsuna ran around the conference room with a remarkable shock.
