I took the horse down from the entrance because it was quite a distance from the landing point of the Ulknakt to the main gate of Shiwell End, Teito, and it was a bit of a hassle to get around on foot.

Shiwell End, Imperial capital. Once Aulator - named the voice of gold in ancient language, the great city boasts a size that easily surpasses any large city in the small group of nations, as we have found just looking down from within the ship. The multiple walls built from the centre to the outside would be proof that they have been expanded so many times. In other words, that is the only heavily populated city, and it was also understandable that one of the Niewes and the Western Empire would designate Aurathor as provisionally the capital.

The railway tracks running north of Vail Illog were entering the Siwell End directly and the tracks stretched further in all directions from the Siwell End. Rigford and others' stories about the complex intertwined railway network manifesting the breadth and development of imperial territory seemed true. I didn't doubt it, but look at it with this eye and recognize it again.

If you can get off the entrance while looking out for the robust walls of the Golden Capital, it's the numerous armed summoners waiting for Setuna and Sheila. The armed summoners dressed in gold embroidered military uniforms on the black ground all looked like they were rounding up hostility as they watched this way out. The sword swallowing of that reaction would be a manifestation of their obvious hostility to flying ships.

Setuna looked at Sheila sideways as she felt Faria and Miliu watching over this one. of the Black Beast Squad uniform. She was holding a Heart of Beast in her hand, but wrapped a cloth around its cutting edge, indicating she was unwilling to fight. Neither Setuna, nor if she is wearing armor, is she in possession of a subpoena weapon. The only thing holding in its hand is the horse's reins. So, I hope you're guessing this one's intentions, but apparently it doesn't.

"That's a lot...... how many are there?

"Forty or so."

"You weren't there that much even at the height of Gandia, were you?

"Right."

Affirming Sheila's simple sentiments, Setuna looked at the armed summoners of the Western Imperial Army. The summoning armaments they are equipped with vary. It would appear to have more long-range attack-type summoning armaments than melee weapons, perhaps because it is the Imperial Army's usual means of annihilating enemies with saturated attacks from a distance. And that was unquestionably the best way to fight for the Imperial Army, which possesses a large number of powerful summoning armed users. In front of saturated attacks by the overwhelming firepower of countless summoning armies, there is not a single strong army or build-up.

But still, it was the final war that couldn't be helped.

"The two of them!

Suddenly, there was a sharp scream coming from the front. It's the voice of a young man. You were nervous, your voice was slightly nodding.

"If you hear my voice, don't move any further! If you move, you decide it's harmful to the Western Empire, and you attack it!

The man must be the commander of the unit. His remarks were accompanied by tensions among the armed summoners. That's a sign of intent that Setuna and the others will attack immediately if they show disturbing movement. Setuna and Sheila looked at each other and stopped on their feet. Still, it's just a little far from the ark. But outside the defensive barrier of the Ark was the subtle distance that it was out. From the other side, it was just an exquisite opportunity, but you can't possibly even know that.

All of a sudden.

"Well, I think it's still cool not to attack at the same time as landing."

"Is that true, too? If you were Miliu, you would have attacked him."

"If Miliu hears, he'll be pissed off."

"But right?

"Maybe so."

Setsuna roared unexpectedly at Sheila's Miliu review. Sure, maybe. Miliu, sweet by the fierce in his body, could have been ruthless and merciless everywhere against unrelated others. It will be as easy as attacking enemy forces and thoughts that have jumped into the alert zone without warning.

"So, what do we do?

"I don't care what you do or do. We'll just have to talk."

As Setuna clasped her shoulders, a loud voice flew from the other side.

"Who the hell are you people! As rumors have it, have you come to drive a flying ship and ravage this land!

The first man to issue a warning is shouting so loud that the atmosphere is about to tremble. Even though he's young, he'll be older than Setuna. Late twenties or so. The outfit, which looks somewhat more luxurious than the other armed summoners, seems to indicate his position. Looks good to think of as the commanders of the armed summoners.

"In the meantime, will you listen to me"

"It's this way you're asking questions! Answering this question will be a prerequisite!

"That's right."

"Oh...... right"

Slightly distracted by Sheila's good voice, Setuna was impressed by the intensity of the vigilance of the armed summoners as they clung toward us. I can feel the steel willingness to kill Setuna and Sheila instantly if they react even slightly. They were tasked with defending the Imperial City. That's how prepared and intent should be. Whatever that is, how it works for Setuna and the others.

"We are from His Excellency General Rigford Zell-Vandalize..."

and so on and when Setuna tried to explain why we were here.

"Heh, Your Majesty......!?

When the commander's armed summoner raised his voice in dismay, his stunned reaction propagated at an incredible rate as current, and it was unusual for dozens of armed summoners to continue to raise their voices of amazement.

"How could His Majesty Niewehein be here......!?

"No, wait, Your Majesty should be in the palace right now!

"But no matter where you look at it, Your Majesty!

"Think about it, Your Majesty can't possibly come down from a flying ship!

"That's right...... but"

Setuna and Sheila felt kind of left out as the arguments of the armed summoners grew more intense.

"Setuna, this is..."

"No, I was. I totally forgot that me and Neewe were exactly the same."

"... you mean that"

Sheila looked bitter because she strongly regretted that she couldn't be on her side when Setsuna was about to be killed by Neewe. Maybe I remembered how I felt then.

"Is it not the Lord Setuna-Kamiya, whom His Majesty the Emperor claimed? Lord Setuna-Kamiya came not only to His Majesty, but also to Lord Mibu, saying that he looked like a mirror copy with His Majesty."

"I see. That's possible..."

"Uh, I'm sorry about the excitement, but will you listen to me?

"Before you do that, can you answer this question?

The reason why the commander and the man made a strange face and changed his attitude is understandable from earlier conversations. If Setsuna was the person Niewehein was talking about, we realized the fact that if we imitated the absurd, we could be punished. We also knew that in the Western Empire, Setuna was highly valued because Nina and Rigford brought negotiations to Setuna. I mean, Niewehein's rating is too high, but given what happened with him, I don't think that's how much he can appreciate it.

Niewehein disappeared from the world at that time, depending on Setuna's choice.

As Quon integrated with Vara, Setuna also had the option of integrating with Niewe, and if she had chosen that way, things would have changed dramatically. Setsuna could no longer be an individual named Setsuna, would have been accomplished with someone else who would have enclosed Niewe, and the form and consequences of the final war might have changed.

Most likely, the Great Destruction would have happened, and the world would have changed in a worse direction.

Where Setuna united with Niewe, there could be no such thing as stopping the final war, because there was no such thing as stopping the ritual of the resurrection of the Holy King.

So at that time, Setuna's refusal to unite with Niewe and to be no longer in the same presence as each other was an extremely significant event and a choice that could be said to be right.

Setsuna believed that, and that's why Neewe must have admitted and highly valued Setsuna, too.

"Are you Setuna-Kamiya? As captain of the Royal SS of the Kingdom of Gandhia, Lion's Tail, he was treated as the president, the hero of the Redemption..."

"Oh, yeah. My name is Setuna-Kamiya. Publicly, I wonder if Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Seidlock is right."

Setsuna explained, thinking it was still a long name, although it was somewhat shorter because the Ryufu returned it. The armed summoner then hurried back the large bow in his hand and corrected his posture.

"Shit, excuse me!

His frightened reaction instantly propagated to the all-armed summoners, all of whom, simultaneously, repatriated the summoned arms and saluted them deeply towards Setuna.
