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

"But I'm glad you're alive. Really."

Kneewehein was delighted with Setuna's survival in an extremely easygoing way, probably because he finished his glimpse among the quiet and moved the place to a separate room. Moreover, there was only Setuna and his two in the spacious room that seemed to be the clerk's office in Niewehein, and even the nearby Lord Flashbu, was out of his seat.

That's what Niewehein wants, and Sheila is taking her seat off for the same reason, but in her case, she didn't just take her seat off, she had the role of leading everyone on the Ark to the Royal Strict Palace. Of course, it is not something she, who is not even familiar with the Imperial Capital, can do alone, but it is a guide for the civilian working in the Imperial Palace to make various arrangements.

At first glance, not only was the Emperor's authority allowed to stay in Setuna, but the cooperation between Setuna and the Western Empire was also established. It is that Setuna and Niewehein enter into a reciprocal relationship as allies, and Meetia, regardless, Setuna was rather generous in surprise at the emperor's idea. Initially, Setsuna's contract with the Ninas was to cooperate with the Western Zaion Empire in order to defeat the Eastern Zaion Empire, and the Setsunas were to be subordinated to the Western Empire for the duration of the contract. Nina and Setsuna, each carrying a contract of that kind, and Setsuna submits it to Niewehein as well.

But Niewehein, when he saw that covenant, insisted that the Western Empire and the whole line of Setuna should be a reciprocal relationship, not a relationship of lord and obedience.

'That's all the power of your lord is worth. Don't you think so?

'But then, may I be on an equal footing with His Majesty?

I say we should, Lord Setsuna.

In the end, the contract will be revised in a way that is pushed off by Niewehein's enthusiasm, and detailed discussions to that end are to take place at a later date.

It was also for that reason that Phalia and the others called the waiting group to the Imperial Palace. The hard stories are more reassuring to leave to Faria than Setuna and Sheila.

Niewehein also told Meatier that she would be running around for it so far, even if she ordered that Setuna and the others could stay in the Imperial Law District.

In the office, there is a serene silence.

Setuna and Niewehein.

They once ran into each other betting on all their existence, but now they're facing each other as if they forgot what happened then. Sitting in a bench facing the corner of the office, pinching a table. I can't help but feel the wonder of fate.

"I'm lucky."

And he went, pouring tea into the vessel of Setuna. The voice is filled with genuine joy. At the sight of him, he seemed happy to reunite with Setuna.

"Because you got the power to fight me?

"There's that too. but first, don't you rejoice in a safe reunion with each other? Ex, it would be the same."

In response to his slightly pitiful tone, Setuna, the bat got worse. Even though I'm not accusing him of anything, it's a reaction that could be received that way.

"... I'm glad to hear it, too, Neewe. Knee, should I call you Wehain?

"No, Neewe is fine. That would be easier to talk to."

"Well, yeah"

Neewe herself, speaking in an extremely shattered tone, Setuna, accepted his proposal. I also know that we're alone for that. In the public eye, you can't just lightly call it Niewe or something like that and throw it away. No matter how much of a reciprocal alliance we had. Neewe herself would not admit it, even if her surroundings would.

Setuna opened her mouth, waiting for Niewe to calm her hips.

"It would have been a lot harder since the" Great Destruction ”. What an emperor, in particular. The burden is not on the Uncle."

"Naturally. How many countries in this small group of nations do you think this part of the empire will fit into? Yours, at best, would be the ruler of a few cities. It's not comparable."

"That's right. That's a big deal. I thought I'd do it a lot."

"If I hadn't stood up, it would have been visible to Mizgaris. I had to stand."

"Mizgaris......"

Mizgaris means Mizgarishein, Emperor of the Eastern Zaion Empire. Setuna didn't know very deeply what Mizgarishein was like. Even the situation in the Western Empire, even in this southern Zaion continent, has only so much information as has been crushed by the Ninas. Speaking of what I know about Mizgarishein, it's about his youngest brother's spicy attitude and behavior towards Niewe, and his impression of him in Setuna is disgusting. All, it's only a memory of Niewe subjectivity, but that's why Setsuna will have to be sympathetic to Niewe, and she'll think of it as if it were a setup she received.

Complicated feelings about Nina would also be caused by seeing his memories with Niewe's gaze.

"I'm calling myself Mizgarishein now. Hain, in the name of the first emperor, the heir to the throne, is obliged to bear Hain in his name. That's why I'm Niewehein. When it's private, I don't mind if it's Niewe."

"Um, is it a bad idea to be under Mizgarishein?

"At least for me and Nina's future, it's obvious it'll be the worst."

To Niewe's assertion, Setuna breathed.

"He even resents me."

"Resentment? Neewe?

"It's a simple reason. My eldest brother Mizgaris is a man who has dedicated himself to the Empire as the culminating Lord Tianzhi of the Three Dukes and Five Dukes. He was called to be an essential part of the reign of his late emperor. The track record, the strength, is what everyone acknowledges. Neither do I have the right to criticize Mizgaris in that respect. And that's why he was always singling out the pinnacle in his successor struggle. His first place was unshakeable while the two were sprinkling sparks long between Marian and Mills. There is also a verse in which the emperor was about to ordain Mizgaris as heir to the throne"

"... but Niewe was chosen. or"

Setsuna took the tea vessel in her hand, inviting by the aromatic smell of tea. Red liquid is causing the hot air to rise in the tea apparatus. Sounds like tea.

"That's right. I don't know why, either. But from the circumstantial evidence, it seems that I was the cause of the Empire's invasion of a small group of nations, and that it was a matter of extreme importance to my predecessors. Therefore, the emperor made me heir to the throne. And for that, Mizgaris went mad. My youngest brother, who was out of the fight for the heir to the throne, collapsed what he had built up over the years. I don't know how he feels."

"Well, sure."

"That's why it would be more obvious to see what kind of eyes we would get under his heavens than to see fire. He is not the kind of person who makes mistakes in policy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is incomparable in his competence as a politician and as a soldier. But I'm in a difficult mood, and I have the same madness that any heavy minister, depending on his mood, sometimes cuts off."

"I see..."

"Besides, he's not willing to make a state for all the people, or anything. It's an electorate idea, Mizgaris. So, under his heavens, the empire will change dramatically. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. I fear that everything the Empire has ever built could be ruined."

To Neewe's hot valve, Setsuna kept turning to the listener. There was a desire to know and at least be in tune with the justice he had set out, more than putting up a joint front with him. Contractually, for whatever reason, I was going to do what I was ordered to do, but it's only natural that I prefer it to be convincing.

"Being under his heavens, some things will sing life in limitless glory. but what else will happen. As things stand, the Eastern Empire seems to be doing pretty well, but it's not something we know what happens if the mood ruler starts playing the lead."

"So he said he stood up"

"Someone would have stood even if I hadn't stood. But if it wasn't for me, the Eastern Empire would have kicked me over."

Where his source of pride lies is obvious from the current state of the Western Empire. Because Niewe stood as emperor, the Western Empire was formed and a rocky and robust organization could be built. Niewe is the rightful heir to the throne chosen by his predecessor Siwelhein. There is no more persuasion, no more legitimacy, no more righteousness in any other successor candidate. Even Nina, his sister, would not have been able to. Even if some strength is gathered, the thinness of righteousness shall be decisive in defeat.

After all, if it weren't for the rightful heir Neewe, neither one, nor power, nor money, would have gathered.

"You got up okay, but it's been tough getting here. I am now reminded of how great my father was."

"Much...... you seem to be imposing"

Setuna had nothing but heartfelt sympathy for his revealed mood.

"That's what I have to do. That's what someone has to do. And if that's all I can do, I have to do whatever it takes. Even you, in my position, should have. You're just like me. Just a promise, alive."

"... oh"

Affirms.

Absolutely, you're right. Promise moves. As long as I have my word, I can fight. I can do whatever it takes. Whether your body is broken and dusty, your soul will continue to burn and try to accomplish it. It has been so far. Keep it up, it must be.

Promise.

In other words, he also aroused himself by promises and rose as emperor.

For that, he will surely make hassles and push ahead.

As Setuna is.

"A small promise to someone excites me and you. Me and you, we used to have the same soul. The same shape, of souls of the same colour, of the same being. That's me and you."

The eyes behind the mask, still, stared at Setuna. Red eyes. Left eye in exactly the same shape as Setuna and right eye in a disfigured form. Each appeared to be of a different colour.

"So I'm glad you're alive and you got here," I think from the bottom of my heart. This is just a tour of destiny. We must be thankful for the heavenly dispensation "

"What... are you talking about?

Setuna could not read the intent of the words that Niewe had suddenly uttered and could not hide the slightest confusion. He did not seem to be referring to Setuna's appearance as a collaborator of the Western Empire. At least not the kind of words you'd expect from Setuna as a force of war. It felt like another, more profound word.

"I need a favor from you."

Setsuna couldn't help but remember a bad feeling when Neewe cut it out like that.
