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

Episode Two Four Hundred Ninety-Seven: The Emperor Thinks

Niewehein looked sinister in the summoning car headed to Divnor.

September 20th.

The 50,000 Unified Imperial Army generals who were assembled in Noabourg are on the move towards Divnor, where almost everything will be the main force. The total strength of the Unified Imperial Army is approximately 800,000. In other words, about seventy-five thousand is now being assembled in what should be called this northwestern coastal zone, some of which met when they had already arrived in Divnor and elsewhere. However, it was not an exaggeration to say that the arrival of all the armies still required time, leaving the time earned for it to the line of Setuna. Even though we also provided two hundred armed summoners from the Unified Imperial Army, we cannot wipe out the fact that we rely exclusively on the Setunas.

"How... did you?

Best of all, it was Charlotte-Morgana who asked Niewehein.

Only the Emperor, his proximity and the Unified Imperial Heads of State and the Kingsguard Knights have boarded a special specification summons vehicle, which should also be reserved for the Emperor, and only he and Sir Sanwu have exclusive possession of that wide vehicle. There is no sign of the archdeacon Nina. She was heading to Divnor before anyone else by entering Divnor one foot away and arranging for the Emperor to arrive without any hassle. The only thing that didn't even listen to the surrounding voices that wasn't the kind of job the archdeacon would do is leak bitter laughter, but there's no way to do it. If it's about Niwahein, it's Nina's nature to want to do something with her own hands without placing anyone's hands on her.

Therefore, only four of him and Sir Sanwu were generous in the Emperor's vehicle, and Niewehein laid back in the spacious seats at the rear, looking out the windows at the desolate scenery. At that time, he was honestly surprised and looked up at her because it was something Charlotte had accidentally spoken to. Regardless, he is wearing the emperor's mask. Albinism, which puts the head on, is not like someone can show it, although it is currently calm with the blessing of the Mayuri God. If the emperor were to suffer from albinism, it would only incite anxiety and could disrupt the order of the unified empire. Even though, it's about to mess up.

The full-scale invasion of the Southern Zaion Great Empire had scratched the peace and tranquillity of the Southern Zaion continent itself and was trying to create a great deal of confusion in the order that was still about to be established. It became necessary to maintain order and mobilize all the forces of the Unified Imperial Army, the home of peace in each person's heart. Even where he hides the fact of an invasion from the North, one must perceive, be anxious and worried about something. Is the unified imperial government okay, and is it driven by anxiety, every day?

But all this, there's nothing I can do.

We must not rely solely on the Setunas to counter the Great Imperial Army, which has a total of more than a million troops and puts all of them into the invasion of the southern continent.

No, actually, we're all counting on the Setunas, but in other parts, we have to do something about it ourselves.

There are parts of Setuna that can't be helped alone.

"A little... I was thinking"

Outside the window.

Since Setuna and the others called it "the Great Destruction," the changed world is a landscape that no one has changed so much. A changed world. Yes, the world was ravaged, mutilated and scattered by “great destruction”. The earth moved, and the great sea plains isolated everything. Imperial territory became two continents, north and south, and it was not long ago that two empires were born on each of the two continents.

The heavens and the earth were desolate and the natural environment itself was insane, he said, also because of the “great destruction”. “The Great Destruction” was caused by the failure of the ritual of the Resurrection of the Holy Emperor, that the outburst of power that was attempted to be summoned by the power and ritual instilled in the ritual of the Resurrection of the Holy Emperor destroyed the world in taunts. That disrupted even the jurisprudence of the world and made everything crazy.

Outside the window lies a desolate earth, with no shadow to see the beautiful sights of the former imperial territory.

"Thinking?"

Meetia Armalu-Ranasiera has peeked her face off the back of the seat in front of her just a little bit. Charlotte sits next to Kneewehein, but his next seat is in Lord Sanbu's place. Because Charlotte, Meetier and Lancelott-Garland want to sit next to Niewehein. In that case, the three of them take turns, as was arranged a long time ago. Because then we won't even develop into an argument.

"Lord Setuna, you mean?

"... oh"

Nodding to Charlotte's words, Lancelot, who was falling asleep in the seat in the next row, woke up his torso.

"Nah. It is thought that the Lord Setsuna is too much of a trustee."

"Well, whatever it was you wanted to be, Your Majesty, there's no reason for it to happen."

Yeah. I glanced at Meatier nodding, and he clapped his shoulders.

"That's not the problem."

"So what's the problem?

Asked, Niewehein let his gaze wander into the void. Look for words and give up.

I know what the problem is.

Lancelot's right. I'm counting on the Setunas for everything. Since the East-West conflict, I have relied on their overwhelming power, and I feel like I have not accomplished one thing myself. In fact, it's not. Niewehein was doing what only he could, and that, everyone would admit. As an emperor, I have accomplished what needs to be accomplished. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the hands-on virtues from the inception of the Unified Empire to its establishment were anything to be found in the history of the Empire, nor was the rapid acceleration of the Southern Continent towards unity unrelated to the hands of Niewehein.

He did what he could.

But still, I have to think.

Setsuna is his half.

Of different worlds, myself.

It's the other me.

A being where he can be alone and reveal everything in this world. That was Setuna.

Nina and I have been together for many years, loved each other from the bottom of our hearts, and placed more trust in Sir Sanwu than our hearts, but when it comes to being able to expose everything, what do you think? Is it something that can expose us to albinism?

Depends on the situation.

Words like that go past the back of my brain.

If he is not the emperor.

If we were not in a position to assume the heavy responsibility of emperor, we would have been able to reveal to Nina, and to the Lancelots, the fact that we were afflicted with albinism. I would have also been able to convey my readiness to continue fighting this incurable disease. But the position of emperor did not allow him such sweetness.

You must show no more weakness than being one god of the present in the Empire - the Emperor.

Even if it's someone you can trust more than your heart.

In that sense, for Niewehein, Setuna's presence was special, and I'm glad he's here, I can sincerely imagine. Being him, you can expose everything, even in the position of emperor. He's the other himself. Myself in a mirror called a different world.

But isn't that why it's too good a story of insects to rely on Setuna to cut him open to the future of the Unified Empire?

No matter, I know.

There is no better beating of hands than relying on Setuna, who has the power to kill God, than the Great Empire is ruled and moved by the mighty God.

Still, he thinks.

(Still...)

Is there anything I can do for him?
