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

In September.

When it came to the four seasons, autumn was about to begin, but the imperial capital Zaius was still surrounded by summer enthusiasm, and every person on the road to the Temple of Heaven wore mostly light clothes for various duties. Average temperatures are high, making it possible to spend even the middle of the night wearing a single piece of skin. Setsuna also sleeves through thin clothes.

But when it came to emperor Niewehein Leighnas-Zaion, he was as thick as usual, and was likely to worry extra about whether it wasn't hot or whether he had any physical problems, etc. but given his condition, it was natural to wear it thick, and there was no way for him to wear it more than necessary and wear a heavy mask on top of it. That doesn't make him sick, which is his word, but apparently there's nothing wrong with adjusting his temperature thanks to the alienated half of his body. He also said that he was feeling well other than the part he suffered from albinism, and that he had nothing to worry about.

It's disgusting to be worried about Setuna, too.

Setuna was responding to his call with the awareness that he was one of the few people who could hit such a bad mouth chatter, although it was a frightening thought on his diminution.

Niewehein is not a free man.

He's an emperor.

He says that being pursued on a daily basis by public service equals not having the concept of rest. It was about in his sleep that he could be said to be resting, and almost all his other time had been devoted to his duties. At four or six o'clock, I think about the Unified Empire and keep moving. It is a craftsmanship that he can do because he is the bearer of extraordinary vitality, and it can be said that it is not possible at all for ordinary people.

And I recently heard the story that the root of its vitality is the half-body alienated by the ability of Edge of Surst.

Apparently, the right hemisphere, alienated by the ability of the Edge of Thurst, has given him an inexhaustible equal of vitality and he can continue to work tirelessly. There's no way to find out if that's true, but you can trust him more than there's no reason for him to lie to Setuna. By becoming a devilish half-body, he gained the life he deserved as an emperor ruling vast imperial territories.

"I guess losing to you wasn't a bad thing, either, out of the blue..."

Because Setuna cornered him, he used the last resort of the Edge of Thurst. If he had prevailed over Setuna, he would not have been there right now and would not have been able to devote all his time to official business, except sleep. At the very least, humans cannot, for example, continue to work without any need for rest. Even Setsuna can't imitate it.

It has to be said that fate is strange because the proof that his half body is no longer the same as that of man, but rather that matter is now a great force for him.

It seems that Setsuna was summoned by an emperor dressed thickly to conceal such a alien body because he wanted to talk to Setsuna alone.

"Why again? How much would it cost to talk to someone?

"Well, yeah."

Kneewehein quietly removed his mask when he made sure he was alone with Setuna. Rather than a mask, it's a big helmet, but sometimes the main focus is to cover the face, which would be definitely with the perception of a mask. Remove the mask and the blackened, alienated right half and the bandaged left half will be exposed while leaving most of the human face behind. Every time I look at it, I can't help but feel painful. What's the matter, that's what I see.

"But sometimes I can only talk to you"

"For example?"

"About this... or something"

So what he touched with his left hand was the part of his head covered in bandages. The skin under the bandage is white transformed by albinism. It means that it has been somewhat contained by the power of the Mayuri God since the Angelization case, but it also means that it has not figured out how effective it is, and that it can only be to a degree of rest. Still, if I listened to Niewehein's story that it was much easier than before, there wasn't much to imagine how much he'd suffered until then.

"Has it gotten worse?

"It's not like that. Instead, thanks to Mayuri's help, I'm in trouble with my work."

"Huh?"

"Until now, I've been resting until the pain of albinism caught."

"... is that what you mean?"

"That's a joke."

"Hey."

Anyway, I was hoping to get your opinion.

"My opinion?

Setuna laughed with her nose at Niewehein's words.

"How could His Majesty the Emperor ask the outsiders for their opinions?"

"Outsiders? You are an actor in the birth of the Unified Empire. [M] There's nothing wrong with having made a direct statement to the Emperor about one or two opinions."

"I don't know."

A corner of a large office. Setuna looked overhead as she sat on one of the chairs surrounding the table, provided for the reception. Kneewehein sits down in the opposite seat. Not to my desk and chair.

"Yes. Everyone is praising you. Without you, the Unified Empire would have been born a long way away, and more importantly, it is thanks to you that we have been able to contain the damage so far. You are a hero. [M] Even for this empire."

"... a hero"

The word has nothing to feel for Setsuna.

That's what they call it, and the times that were floating past the back of my brain.

A time when I was covered in blood and didn't doubt that killing my enemies was the absolute right thing to do.

It can be called youth.

"As a Gandhian hero in a small group of nations, you have become one of the three main forces, a hero in the Zion Empire. How are you feeling?

"Nothing... not particularly good or bad."

"Right."

"... if you can think that you've revealed the nose of the people who ravaged Gandhia, you must feel refreshed."

"Wouldn't you?"

"... oh"

Nod, drop your gaze.

Niewehein was staring at me. On the left half of the bandaged area, he has eyes that look just like Setuna's, eyes red as blood staring at this one.

Once upon a time, the Zaion Empire was the object of hatred for Setuna. It is the corner of the three forces and it did not just happen to be the country to which Niewe belongs. Because it is one of the forces that caused the final war, ravaged small groups of nations and destroyed Gandia. Regardless, it also turns out that there are great reasons there, and now that the fact that it was an irresistible stream for imperial humans, there is no choice but to resent them. The three forces themselves were used by the plot of the gods, that's all. Vashtarian Communities, the Zaion Empire, the Kingdom of the Holy Deal - not that any of them are bad either. Everyone should be able to call themselves victims at the time they were pulled out of that final war.

That's why Setuna no longer resented the imperials, and there was nothing like being called a hero by them like that to make the hoarding go down.

"What opinion do you want from that hero?

"... the Unified Empire is now in the midst of ground consolidation"

Niewehein opened his mouth, again with an attitude.

"East-West, what was divided into two empires just became one. It is only natural that there will be more or less confusion, and there is no way for all sorts of things to create rebellion and dissatisfaction. There were various reactions to the disposal of Mizgaris. That's good."

Mizgaris-Zaion, after all, became a haul to join the unified imperial government, and he has been appointed a member of the central unified chamber of government of the unified empire. Among the Royal Zion, only Irish-Azion, apart from Mizgaris, became a member of the Unified House, and Nina-Zaion remained unchanged as the archdeacon, with no significant change except that Mills-Zaion was to serve concurrently as Governor and Commander of the Kingsguard Knights. As for what was in the Eastern Empire for the post of Governor, there was no change after the transition to a united empire, and that would be one of the reasons why it did not create a great deal of confusion. The personnel of the Unified Empire is like a merger, dominated by the Western Empire, absorbing the Eastern Empire.

"The problem is..."

"What's the problem?

It was when Setuna rebuffed his words.

Charlotte's voice sounded as she wondered if the office door had been slammed hard.

"Your Majesty! Oh, my God!

Charlotte's tense voice, known as someone who never loses sight of calm at all times, brought surprises indoors.
