The first room to be allowed into the Holy Royal Palace was a large one.

The Knights of Kingsguard's office told me that it was the Knights of Guidance.

There, of course, the Kingsguard Knights leader was waiting, and the tough-faced knight changed the color of his eyes when he saw Midgard's armband. I didn't know what a suspicious obsession meant then.

The Knights Commander is called Verden Zan-Aztram. He was a big man with muscular bones, just like a warrior among warriors, and his strict spirituality seemed to show on his face. The air on the spot must tighten just because he was there, and the Kingsguard knights who led Setuna and the others to this room, before and after entering the room, had changed their attitudes as if.

Until then, even though I was nervous, it wasn't like I couldn't afford it, but in front of the Knights Commander, I couldn't let it distract me for a moment.

Setsuna, too, learned to be somewhat nervous.

"It is more good news than ever that Master Magic Technician is safe, but why did he show himself now?"

Verden asked Midgard with a gentle heavy bass. That voice was mixed with some accusations and a great deal of suspicion, and there were such signs that, if we gave a far-fetched response, at that moment, the position of Midgard as well as the Setunas would be in jeopardy.

Inside, there are only two Kingsguard knights who served as guides, in addition to the Knights Commander staring at this one from the executive desk and the confronting Setuna. I guess it's because Verden's pressure is awesome that he feels oppressed like he's surrounded by hundreds and thousands of soldiers, even though nobody else says so.

(That feels like the Knight Commander of the Great Forces...)

Even Setuna, who has crossed countless dead lines, is under enough pressure to feel more or less. It also makes sense that the Kingsguard knights are paling their faces out of tension.

Most importantly, neither Midgard's hindsight, nor the side of Urk who sees him, is upset at all.

"Why, I don't even think that's what His Excellency the Knights of Kingsguard said. Is it so strange for a Demonic Crystal Technician who vows allegiance to the Holy Kingdom to visit the King's capital, Dilaire?

Midgard used an unusual tone. The voice is light and looks like someone else.

In fact, he's playing someone else.

Because his appearance is completely different from that of Midgard-Weharam. Midgard is famous not only as a Demonic Crystal Technician, but also as a person in the Wahharam family and as a friend of King Rubeles, whose face is known.

Speaking of Midgard-Waharam, you can't call yourself Midgard-Waharam in the appearance of a man in his mid fifties and unlikely to reach his thirties no matter how high he estimates. If you do that, you just invite extra vigilance, not a good idea. If so, wouldn't it have been better to fool someone else yet? Such a decision has been made by Midgard.

He wore the arms of a little faceless Demonic Crystal Technician at the Holy King's Palace for that purpose. As you can see from the story that the badge is also a certificate, the name of the person is engraved. The medal of Midgard was inscribed as Midgard-Waharam, and the medal he is wearing now bears the name Mina-Kanju.

Mina-Kanju is a man certified as a Demon Crystal Technician in his twenties. Of course, during the time of the Demonic Crystal Institute of Technology, as a Midgard subordinate, he became his hand and leg and worked around, but he has lost his life along with many of his employees due to "great destruction”.

Buried the wreckage is irreplaceable Midgard, but how does he feel now playing Mina-Kanju?

That just bothered me a little bit.

"… then let's change the question. Why didn't you show your face before?

"If it is His Majesty's secret destiny, it is natural"

"Your Majesty's... Secret?

Vendell breathed and corrected his posture. Regardless of His Majesty, I suppose you mean Rubeles, so Setuna couldn't imagine what Midgard was thinking.

He visited Dilaire because he was worried about the current state and future of Deal, which lost its pillar named Evel, but is there any way to dispel that anxiety?

"Yes. I was on a top-secret mission because of a secret order from His Majesty Luberes. Ever since the day of the collapse, to this day. But... things have changed. So I rushed up to Dilaire, and I'm eating a stall here."

"Wait a minute. What do you mean, grounded? Your Highness will be the one who asked me about St. Royal Palace without any contact. We just behave as if we were protecting the order of the Holy Royal Palace."

"But when you're in a national disaster, you don't want to take the time to ask crappy questions."

"What is a national disaster..."

"It is addressed directly to Her Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Midgard, to put it that far, has not responded to any of Vendel's questions since. Not at all, the fine dust sighed at Midgard as if he'd given up something, not even listening to his hard work.

"If the Demon Crystal Engineer says so much, there is no way..."

It must not only be Midgard's stubbornness that drove Vendel, but also the power of the disturbing words he broke into conversations.

That he was engaged in the King's immediate and intimate destiny, which had not been informed by the Kingsguard Knights Commander. And that's that in the years since the “Great Destruction," they kept secrets, but now it's revealed. It was the content, which remains a secret, but the fact that the Demon Crystal Technician was on a mission with a secret life, I guess, was shocking to the Kingsguard Knights Commander.

And a national disaster.

We have to tell the queen and the prince directly, Midgard said.

Vendell carefully folded and handed it to one of the guides as he retrieved the document while making the rugged look extraordinarily more rugged.

"Give this to Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince."

"I'm in awe"

Upon receiving the document with the utmost respect, the knight immediately left the room behind.

"Wait till you're ready to take a look."

Vendel's somewhat tired look is probably due to his roots in the confrontation with Midgard.

Anyway, Setuna and the others, as Midgard had requested, took a look at the queen and the prince.

While waiting in another room, Setuna asked Midgard a whispered question.

"What are you talking about?

"Of course. I'm thinking about it."

I can reassure you of Midgard's confident statement.

He's a character who doesn't make cheap deals. He says he can't do what he can, and he says he can do what he can. It's clear. That and this, probably because I'm a technician. Therefore, even if we cannot, we will find out if we can. Determine whether it's possible or impossible.

I wonder what he has in mind. And to that, apparently, the cooperation of Mayuri God is important.

What is the idea that the power of the goddess is necessary?

To Setsuna, I can't imagine.

As he did so, the bags he had placed on his lap were smothered. Peeping inside, the jade glow was cleaving through the dark of the bag. Ragna's eyes.

(How long should I stay like this?

(Be patient for a while now)

(So, I'm asking how long)

Until I'm good.

(Mmmm...)

I can't forbid sympathy for a dissatisfied ragna, but I can't help it all this time.

There was nothing wrong with being human, but Ragna didn't really like being human. Anyway, you have to get dressed, which seems like a pain in the ass to her. Even though I'm somewhat used to it, I guess wearing something on my skin is disgusting for the genus Dragon, which I don't inherently wear.

While I was thinking about that, there was a call from outside the room.

I'm ready to take a look.
