You can hear the rain, but it's not wet. It was dark during the day, because the clouds were thick and the walls were getting shaded. Each time the torch's fire hung on the wall, the shadow shook and shook over Benjamin's face sitting opposite.

Angelin was facing Benjamin across the table. Benjamin is still staring at Angelin, with his still frivolous laugh. Behind him is Francois. Somehow uncomfortable. I feel my gaze from the shadows and darkness of the surrounding garden trees. Is it Benjamin's escort?

Look at the waist sword. The companion who was having a hard time is sitting on Angeline's waist as usual. Angelin frowned a little when she was licked to be able to keep her sword, but she was better than taken away. There is nothing impossible to fight with an unskilled fist, but Angeline is a swordsman. If you have a sword, you are confident that your opponent will protect you, even if they do something.

With no sign, tea was suddenly placed on the table. Angelin glances at her sideways. One maid with empty eyes prepared tea on the table without any expression. The tea poured from the pot creates a fragrant steam. Seeing Angelin trying to keep his hands, Benjamin laughed so tightly.

"Would you like to drink? There's no poison."

Angelin snorted.

"There's something for the call ..." "I'm so impatient. You might just want to have a tea with a pretty girl, right?" "... I didn't come for that reason." , You can't make it.

Benjamin laughed and leaned against the back of the chair. Get a cup of tea.

"I wanted to talk to you slowly, because I broke up in Estgal and broke up." "Don't tell me ridiculous. At that time, you were the one who shook the idiot behind me, because I heard from Kasim."

Francois distorted his expression. Benjamin laughs from the air.

"It's a duel between the S ranks. It's not something you can see, so it's natural to be curious. It's just curiosity." "It's no use to deceive like that. You are a fake Prince "Hey"

Benjamin, sipping a cup of tea, leaned forward and leaned on his elbow at the table.

"Are you sure? Why do you think so?" "I heard from Sati." "Who is Sati?" "Even if you don't know her. Elves you were aiming for"

Benjamin burst out laughing. Clapping hands happily.

"Oh, haha, I see. Yes, that's true. Did Schweitz and Hector jump out of it, but that's a legal defense? "Isn't that the same thing can be said in front of the people who have suffered ...?" "Well, who did we suffer? The Imperial City is so prosperous, everyone is happy. "I was experimenting. I used an innocent person. Sati helped them, so you were trying to kill Sati in the way."

Benjamin was amazed for a moment, but blew out. I start laughing with my stomach like it's funny and irresistible. Angeline frowned.

"What's funny ..." "I see, that woman, I'm not talking about anything important. This is a masterpiece." "... What?" "Well, Angelin, where the elf woman suddenly came from. Do you really think we've appeared and started to disturb us? "

Angeline tied her mouth to a single letter. I haven't heard that one at a time. But Satie must have found somewhere wrong with Benjamin and challenged the battle. Angelin believes so.

Benjamin grinned and continued.

"Yes, we did human experiments, to strengthen ourselves, but for the development of the Empire, not for our own desires, for the happiness of many people." That's what you can say with your mouth. "" Isn't that Elf the same? Isn't it just a pity because you saw the injured figure? "" No. "" And that Elf was our first Were you friends? "

Angelin opened her eyes as a scary scare. I felt like my mouth was dry.

"... I'm a lie." "I'm not a lie. She was in our experiment and she betrayed it, otherwise the elves who came out from somewhere could sniff us. "But not?" "But ... you were wrong." "It takes sacrifice to do something. That elf couldn't stand it. In short, I was scared. It's not like I was wrong or that kind of story. "" I can't believe it. "

Benjamin leaned forward and stared at Angelin.

"Angelin, why don't you come to me?" "Huh? What a ridiculous thing." "If you can't believe it, why don't you watch me up close. You should be able to understand that you are doing the right thing. "" I can't.

Angelin leaned on the chair as if she was stunned. Benjamin shrugged.

"Let's talk a little bit about history, Angelin. Do you know Solomon?" "You ruled the continent but you're gone. So the Demon King survived. "You know, why do you know why Solomon wanted to take control of the continent?" "...? You were stuck in power." "No. I fought for humanity. ''

It's an eyebrows story. Angelin looked at Benjamin frowning suspiciously. Benjamin has a serious face.

"It's been a long time ago, there were rulers on the continent called the Old Gods. They were superordinate. They had great power and ruled humans and sub-humans. I was on a bad track, fights were everywhere, and humans were used in the proxy war. "

According to Benjamin, the old gods formed an army of their subordinates and played with them in playful ways to exchange territories and objects. In addition, it seems that the human beings could not live without fear of the old gods because they were whimsical. The old gods were mostly cruel, but some were kind and merciful to humans. The benevolent goddess Vienna, now worshiped as the main god of Vienna, was also a pillar of the old god. Angeline was surprised.

"I haven't heard of that ..." "That's not surprising. Today's Viennese people are distorting history by thinking only about power. But didn't you think it was weird? But Vienna is called the "lord of the gods." It's as if there are other gods and representatives of them. "

Angeline made her eyes black and white. That might be the case. But I thought it was only because something like angels and spirits served Vienna. In fact, some great spirits are treated as if they had a deity. However, it may have been made in conjunction with the territory's incoming call. Seeing the puzzled Angeline, Benjamin laughed at me.

"In any case, humans were ruled by the old god. At one time, a wizard appeared. He challenged the old gods with 72 powerful homunculus, who created them with mighty magic. "No, that's ..." "Yes, that man is Solomon. He stood up for a man who was oppressed by the old god."

The sound of the rain seemed to be stronger. I thought it was bad. You are completely at your opponent's pace. Angeline muffled, saying she was not good at this kind of psychological warfare. Anyway, there is no specification because there is no reason to worry about it. While curiosity is awkward to listen to, the curiosity raises the head of the sword to the point. François, standing behind Benjamin, was also stunned. Benjamin smiled and continued.

"Solomon was strong, and his homunculus was immortal. The battle was fierce, but with the help of the goddess Vienna, Solomon finally wiped out the old gods from the continent. How about tea? It has cooled down. ''

Angelin did not answer and leaned back a little.

"Wait a minute ... then the Lord God and Solomon were friends ...?" "Yes. As a result, the only surviving old god is Vienna. She liked humans and she was human. I thought she was the only one, except that Vienna's own strength was so weak that she couldn't fight other old gods alone, but she could do that with Solomon. "

It is a feeling of excitement. Angelin sighed. It is a story of water at all. Was the companion the main god of the great religion worshiped throughout the continent and the Great Mage who created the Demon King? The content must be angry like a fiery fire when heard by the Papacy. But why doesn't it sound like a true story? Angelin strangely felt his heart pounding, and unconsciously put his left hand on his heart and put his strength into it.

"But ... so why Solomon is a villain ...?" "I don't think I'm a villain. In short, Solomon despaired of humans. He helped the oppressed humans. The lost men gradually became greedy and began to fight each other, wondering if Solomon himself was worth saving. "

Benjamin laughed openly and spread his hands.

"I finally came to think that I had to govern the humans by my own power. I should attach the rope to the fools and guide them correctly." "Such ..." "Solomon Used the homunculus to take control of the continent, which was destroyed by the disappearance of Solomon, but ... I understand his feelings well, maybe you can understand, Angeline? " "I don't have to repair it. Human beings have no choice but to rely on powerful people, and if such people fail, they abuse them. Say, you know, you've been used as an S-rank adventurer because it's just for convenience. "" No! "

A fist hit the table. Angeline himself was surprised because he was completely unconscious. Benjamin is still laughing.

"No, I just don't want to admit it." "It's not like that ...!" "It's proof. It's proof that it's upset like that."

Angelin bites her lips and stares at Benjamin. Benjamin keeps a cool face and continues with an advisory tone.

"Well, isn't the world just fools today? Ordinary people who are only interested in the money at hand and in their own lives. It will change if you change, Angelin, that will make everyone happy. You have that much power. Don't look away. "

Angelin put more power into his hand, arguing that he couldn't deny that he was different somewhere in his heart. Despite the belief that it is the arrogance of the strong that frustrates the weak, we have often faced such situations. Somehow my breath becomes rough. He was holding his chin. The skin is irritated by the touch of Benjamin's cold fingertips. The body is stiff as if it had been applied in some way.

"Come to me, Angelin"

Benjamin's appearance looked like a black shadow. Only my eyes glowed and it seemed to me. Angelin closed his eyes tightly.

Father.

I muttered in my mouth small. Suddenly the strength of my shoulder came off. Open your eyes and look back at Benjamin. I beat my hand with my chin.

"I refuse. I will never be your ally. I will give up on Saty and I will overlook if I stop bad things ... Otherwise, I will do it thoroughly."

Benjamin was amazed for a moment, but burst out and laughed happily.

"Ah, is that so?"

Your gaze suddenly becomes cold.

"Sorry."

At last, my finger was shaken. Angelin opened her eyes wide and reached for his sword. However, my body has stopped moving. Benjamin in front of me slowly came up. No, no. I am sinking on the ground. Angelin glanced around without knowing what had happened, but quickly. I felt something magical swirling. It is magical of binding and forced transfer. Angelin wondered if he could invite himself without any measures. Benjamin stands up. Your fingertips glow faintly with magic light.

"It's easy to kill here ... but unfortunately it doesn't work. Well, I'm holding my fingers in places I can't reach for a while."

Angelin glared at Benjamin with a sharp gaze.

"... I regret it." "I'm looking forward to it."

Eventually, Benjamin sighed and sat down in a chair as she disappeared to the ground, beyond Angelin's head. Reached for tea on the table. It's already cold. Benjamin snaps his finger and a maid with empty eyes comes in and brews fresh hot tea.

"You seem dissatisfied."

He looked back over his shoulder and said, François, standing, was frowning, looking at Benjamin.

"Do you want to kill?"

François had an embarrassed face, but shook his head like a surprise.

"No, the destruction ..." "Fan. Well, anyway, Schweitz would kill you, so it's impossible."

Benjamin muttered what he was always thinking. At that time, the iron door opened with a noise. A man dressed as a butler came in.

"Your Highness, see the Knights of the Shrine ..." "Oh, I'm going now"

Benjamin stood up. The rain keeps falling.

The magic ceremony that covers them all emits pale light. Salazar, a little girl, was coming and going in front of Kashim, sitting cross-legged on the floor with a disgusted expression.

"Yeah, that's what it is. We see things in a really short span of time, like swallowing a single leaf of a tree floating in a big river. However, even in a large stream, if there are huge rocks, the flow will be affected to some extent, even if the outline is not changed, the surrounding environment will be created differently. It's a regret that life is short! That's a very short and narrow viewpoint! "

Kasim said with a disgusted look.

"Well, that's good, but what's the relationship with what the oilers want to do right now?" "What to say" canopy crushing "! There should be nothing to do with this world. Everything affects each other It's not unusual to express something in an unexpected way! " Like throwing a stone into a river ... "

Salazar, who turned into a young man, laughed out loud.

"It's strange to say! But it's a long time ago. It's possible that the rocks that have rolled upstream have changed the flow here now. The flow of events is complicated. "You have to look at it from a more bird's-eye view." "Once the Great Demon Solomon was at the center of a huge event stream. His mighty power created a stronger event stream swell, swirling. As a result, it penetrated space and time. …… ”“ Oh, are you listening?… ”

Once again, seeing Salazar fall into his thoughts, Kasim sighed. This does not help.

They left Angelin and came to Salazar from the morning. It was good that Salazar, who had been sleeping asleep since the fatigue of the telecommunications magic last night, was completely resurrected, but it has always been this way. After all, this person's desire for knowledge and curiosity is the principle of action, and there seems to be no judgment of good or evil and no remorse. She was not going to consider the circumstances of the Qashims.

Still, only Salazar is likely to be connected to the space where Satie is. Although Kassim is also a great magic, he does not specialize in the magic of spatial manipulation. In particular, the magic of space transition is highly specialized, suitable for some people, and difficult. There are only a few wizards that can be exercised, whether they are great mages. If an unfit person tries to use it, only a part of the body may be transferred, only consciousness may be transferred, or it may be transferred into a wall.

Salazar is muttering alone. There is no response anymore. Kassim gave up, took off his mountain hat and pinched a small hairball there.

"But, isn't the event flow enough to pierce space-time created by a large swell ...? Suddenly, a large instantaneous power point creates a vortex of events, and the vortex pierces the space. As a result, the vortex surrounds It affects the flow of water, but it is not the effect of the surrounding flow itself. In any case, is the center of this vortex that black-haired girl? "" That's Angers? What is the flow you can see? "

Salazar suddenly looked up. He changed his appearance and became a middle-aged man.

"Hum? The space-time prison has opened. Is it the Prince?" "An? What is the Prince?" "It looks like you've dropped someone. ...? "

Casim twisted his beard. Although the name is not familiar to ears, it can be inferred from the flow of the story that space-time magic is possible. And the word prison. Kassim opened his eyes.

"I mean, Benjamin's caught Anger !?" "It looks like that is likely. Yes, but there is a big change in the flow of events."

Before Salazar finished, Kasim was jumping out of the room wearing a bowler hat.
