"The sea is wide. The sea is good, Amelia. '

Sometimes Amelia's boss says things she doesn't quite understand.

Amelia frowned with her hands on her head at the words conveyed through magic.

Exploratory magic is difficult to handle, but Amelia's magic could be said to be perfect only in the case of Ares, to which the subject is accustomed.

The explorable distance is also much farther than it should be, and it still captures Ares' reaction perfectly.

Dark and quiet...... from the bottom of the sea.

'This is good, it's a great number. What the fuck is this!? It's not just Marman, is this... a temple? Amelia, give me a distance.'

"... about fifty kilometers northeast of the temple."

"Then is it separate from the Temple of the Seabed? It's not a temple... these guys... do you live in such a nearby sea? It's pretty old. Is that a ruin? Are you rooting for a half-destructed ruin?

"Well... I shouldn't be too pushy..."

Rabbi stands upright on the sandy beach and watches Amelia report without moving even Pickle.

We tracked Fujido together, and we were used to such behavior, but it was a little creepy that we were alone by the sea on a night when no one was around.

"By and large, it deviates from its original purpose..."

'Seriously, it's a big fish. It's a highly constructed herd. Why are there so many of them? Is a fishman something so highly sociable? It's hard to get rid of it without leaving everything behind by force. You need to figure out a way.'

Quiet voice, but there seeped an excitement that I couldn't hold back there.

Why are you tense......

I'm not nervous about Ares' tone, even though he's diving into the dangerous seabed.

"It gives me all the grip. But... it's gonna take a while. Amelia, at one end, you're disbanded. I'll take care of Fujido and the others. Please contact Craio as well. Throw me communications regularly."

"Huh...? Hey... how are you going to get back here...?

Until a few hours ago, Amelia rushes back to a word she doesn't think belongs to a human who was fed up with fisherman armor.

"Let Sanya lead the way, who has followed me in violation of orders"

It was around a while after Ares dived into the sea that he realized that Sanya was gone at some point.

He was alarmed because he was unconscious and there was no longer a stay to disobey orders. That's just when I was expected and brought in my scouting (scout) skills, and Amelia didn't even realize when it was gone.

I try to return the word, but notice that the communication is out before that. Apparently, he cut it off on Ares' side.

Sigh deeply and pound your tongue.

"... chip.... I'm out"

It is the magic of communication originally exercised by Amelia. You can use it again, but they'll just hang it up again anyway.

Drop your shoulders, take a deep breath and crush.

"Just make it seem like one person is having fun... sloppy"

The mermaid armor for Rabbi and Amelia should be able to do it shortly, but we can't go after him more than we don't know what the brave will do. If I violate orders even to Amelia, I might get fed up. That's unbearable.

The rabbi is ticklish and motionless, waiting for Amelia's words without saying anything. Unlike Sanya, who takes the extra for herself, good and bad, the rabbi doesn't seem to move unless ordered.

Even though I say that brave men's movements are paused, there is as much to do as we think about the future.

"I hear Mr. Ares won't be back for a while. This one will be back on schedule and into the support of Fujido and the others. Until Mr. Ares returns, I will assume command on behalf of Mr. Ares. Mr. Rabbi is asking for perimeter vigilance on behalf of Mr. Sanya."

"... Roger that. Boss."

The rabbi nodded small and replied with a plundering voice.

It is the team's policy to make the best of it. You can't stop without a leader.

§

Lord Holy Mistress, Craio Amen didn't change one voice color when he heard the report from Amelia.

I return it briefly as if to say nothing unexpected in particular. Apparently, he's used to Ares' bizarre maneuvers for a long time.

'Oh, okay. Please continue.'

"Speaking of which... Mr. Ares has been cold with me lately, what should I do?

Amelia, I always thought... you thought I was... a friend or something?

It's different from when I was listening to the report.

Rabbi is out for duty, and Amelia is the only room in the inn. Make sure no one else is listening to the conversation and continue facing the wall.

"No... but it was Mr. Craio who decided to send me..."

'Cause I've been looking at you with your hands up and running and cursing if you don't hire me. Well, of course, strength wasn't the subject of scrutiny.'

"But it's work, work, work all the time, right? I was wondering if I could afford a little bit because Stay is gone, and that didn't happen..."

'Cause you and Ares have a role to play... it's natural to break up and act. If you resent him, you should resent the Demon King.'

You were right. If Amelia had been Ares, she would have done so.

Amelia is a brilliant monk, but Ares' sacrament is even more powerful. I have knowledge of the magic guide, but I have limited opportunities to use it.

Still, if there were only two of us, we would have had the opportunity to act together, mainly on Amelia's safety issues, but now more people. It made sense to break up second-hand.

I try to make excuses, but before I do, Craio says it clearly.

"In the first place, where we acted together, that would be just a job"

".................. I pray you will be at peace as soon as possible"

'... you haven't prayed before. Remember, you're already a monk. "

…………

Keep quiet, Amelia looks around. Ares would still be at the bottom of the ocean. I don't know what you're doing, but I don't have to worry about coming home right now.

Amelia became a monk later. I don't mean to be a monk seriously, but something is different compared to other monks who have accumulated faith since just after birth.

I wouldn't even be seeing Amelia, but I added as if Craio had just noticed.

'Good news for you like that... I don't know if... but I have one unconfirmed piece of information. Nations, that's exactly what we're getting from the front line fighting the Demon King's Army right now - they've loosened their hands here lately'

To the words, Amelia blinks a few times, not knowing what she was told for a moment.

I thought carefully for a while, and I answered.

"... Isn't that some mistake? I heard the power was better over there..."

"It's only unconfirmed information"

"But Fujido and the others, we haven't done anything yet..."

It's been awhile since he was summoned, but all Saint Brave has done in recent months is level up. Of course I overcame the undead and did all sorts of things if I were to say the details, but no great blow has been inflicted on the Demon King's side.

It was the demise of a friendly nation that inspired Luke to summon the brave. The realm of man is one by one, but surely falls into the hands of the Demon King. Ares cleaned up a few Demons, but the layers of the Demon King's Army would not be so thin as to loosen their hands with it.

'I don't know what happened, but this is a good opportunity'

"... that's a little creepy"

'Oh, you're right. But just because you don't know what's causing it doesn't mean you're stopping your leg. The power of the Demon King's Army is powerful, but not infinite. It's also a chance to push back, to rebuild your posture'

to Craio's words. But it was too calm compared to what he was saying.

"Amelia, whatever thoughts you have on your opponent, even take the Demon King's neck, and the role of the Holy Brave will be over"

To the words, now Amelia realizes that Craio's dialogue is an encouragement.

I'm telling you to get it over with if you don't want to work. Probably not - impossible, though.

"... ok. I'll tell Mr. Ares."

"Pray for a good fight. God bless you."

The familiar sentence is cut off at the end.

Amelia meditated her eyes, rebuffing the word in her brain for a while, but immediately opened her eyes and shook her neck to the side.

I am not going to rely on God's blessing. Not now, not ever.

The future is something that opens up. If you want something, you just get it in your own hands.

Because that's how I've always seen Ares alive.
