Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

At dawn, the time is before 8: 00 in the morning. This is Dr. Godfrey's clinic where Sabel and Edwin continue to sleep.

Waking up on the sofa in the waiting room, Izumori glanced out the window from the gap in the curtain.

The weather is snow.

The sky is dimmer and there are more white lumps visible than last night, when it keeps coming down. Because of such bad weather, the city was not idle - on the contrary, many people working in the snow were seen.

Those who wave scoops in front of sidewalks and houses, or go up to the roof of a building and snow down. The wide pavement is like a hake dragged by the hairy beef Karovan and flattened with mollusks.

The collected snow is then thrown one after the other into a giant gutter along the road - a snowy waterway. The water flowing vigorously in it melts the snow mass and pushes it along.

According to Hefner, the waterway is discharged about twice a day. It will be the first time now.

Sometimes you don't see it at home or in Raindell, and you can hear the door opening and closing behind the boy watching the snow work without wearing it out.

"Fufu... ah, you're awake, Lugo. Ohayo."

"Ah, good morning."

Edvin's sick bay brought Julie into the waiting room, staring at her sleepy eyes. Last night I was escorted by Sabel (and Edwin) just in case, and he said he'd be in the hospital at night.

Incidentally, the windows outside the room where the two sleep are completely blocked by a pile of snow walls, so there's no need to be alert to intruders and raids, but that's an emotional problem.

"What about the two of you?

"It won't change. As Professor Gottfried said, all you have to do is wait for me to wake up...."

"Soon....."

Having said that, the anxiety will not end until they actually wake up.

Especially in the case of drifting protection, the colorful flowers are now in a progressive form and have been asleep for several months. If Edwin and the others were to do the same, it would be impossible for the bad thoughts to come together.

Even if Julie doesn't know such a case, it's obvious that she can't be reassured. There was a bear under my eyes.

"Julie, did you sleep a little?

"Hmm, I slept well. Since it's morning....."

The immediate anxiety is not limited to Sabels.

Enemy raid. Now that we predict that's not the case, the prediction is the prediction. It is difficult to sleep psychologically. Yufu herself felt comfortable when she closed her eyes in the morning.

"Where's Bergrette?

"Ah, Belle, I'm making breakfast in that room."

It is the portable food stored in this clinic, but I plan to go out from noon today. I wish I could have a stomach rest for the time being.

"Who will you meet today, Lugo? Uh... Ga, Gadga, Gadga...?

"Too bad, there's one more gado. Gadgado and Raltz."

A former bandit and now an adventurer of any kind. They were two people who came to know each other at the heavenly bombardment banquet at Lefe.

After a coincidental reunion at the restaurant that happened to come in yesterday, he promised to meet again today. By the way, they knew Sabel and Julie, but the opposite didn't happen.

You said you knew Orchester, didn't you?

Looks like it.

As far as the handshots and the stories of Septius are concerned, they are consistent with the information known to the Guardian. There should be no lies or lies in their words. Nevertheless,

"Well, that's what I'm saying... can you trust me? Those people."

Is it natural that Julie should be skeptical? For her, Raltz and Gadgard are unfamiliar red people. Especially in a situation where no one knows who the enemy is, there can be no way to accept strangers.

"Well... I think it's okay there."

I don't know them in detail when it comes to goblins. Though murderous, they have a past of banditry.

However, at least the gratitude for helping Larutz at the Heavenly Bomb Banquet seemed genuine, and the fright of the fold I told you about the Orchester the other day didn't look like an act. Gadgado, who admires such an older brother, is also a boy whose goodness cannot be hidden.

"Well, Bergrette's with you, so don't worry."

"Eh, that? You don't trust me like that?

"Ufufufufu, that's not true... even so"

Laughing like an aunt at the edge of the well, Julie looked over the waiting room correctly at her residence.

"Is that really good? We're here to take care of you...."

"No, Miss Gottfried really left too...."

This clinic is currently closed.

There are no other patients, only nurses. Dr. Gottfried, who was informed of the visit of the Migastine team, offered us a place to stay.

Of course, I refrained from asking you to do so.

"Actually, I've been thinking about taking a vacation to see my distant daughter and couple. It was hard to realize, but at this time."

And I made a quick decision.

Of course, it might have been convenient to get away from the targeted street guards, but it was definitely better than getting involved. There was also a big feeling that we had to worry about ourselves, but I decided to be kind here.

"Ah, good morning, Julie."

Oh, hey, Bergrette.

A knight of a girl returning from the next room places a tray of portable food and tea on the table.

"Still, the snow is incredible...."

Looking out at the winter view from the gap in the curtain,

"... but there's no doubt that the enemy has carried out a raid on the Palezza ceremony."

And suddenly he talks.

"What is it, Belle? Suddenly."

"Ah, yeah. I'm sure 'this' is the everyday scenery in Badalnois. So....."

He murmurs his guess as he gazes at the residents fighting with a lot of snow outside.

"Even in such bad weather, the city is crowded with people for snow removal. In other words, if something happens, there is a high probability that a 'witness' will appear. That's why the enemy had to use Palezza, the sacred ceremony where people disappeared from the city."

The other day, when the ritual was performed, the city had no sign of anyone but a terrible feeling of loneliness.

But it is heterogeneous, and the original imperial capital is full of people regardless of the weather. Today's bustle is everyday. In addition, it must be difficult to raid someone in broad daylight yesterday, when the surveillance and security of the soldiers have been tightened up in the Lenore affair.

Therefore, I multiplied by the sacred ceremony "Palezza".

And as I talked to Hefner the other day, the raid in the soldiers' shuddering palace is like confessing to the informant's existence.

"Haah... don't think about it."

A little tip from a point of view, the girl knight's tongue wrapped around her eyes as usual.

…………

Bergrette herself, who challenged the theory, was silent with her fingers on the tip of her chin.

"What's wrong? Belko."

"Hmm... that's right. Orchester is a highly concealed group whose name was not even known to Sabel and Julie, who have travelled across the continent. And yet....."

I'm muttering all by myself. And I thought,

"... yeah. What do you think?

Looking forward, I asked like that.

"Huh? Me? It's just for me...."

The girl knight shook her hands as if she were glad when the godfather answered reluctantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Never mind."

"Nh? Ooh, ooh..."

After that, she seemed to be thinking about it, but her ability to think was not enough to keep up with the defense. I decided not to pinch the extra mouth, and I decided to have breakfast.

Speaking of which, is Hefner coming around this evening?

Looking at the wall column clock, Julie's words were hammered by the guardian.

At the end of dinner last night, a gentle ripple of communication technology spread into the waiting room. When Bergrette answered, Hefner said, "I want to report something about the museum!"

I would have stopped by yesterday after the museum had been cleaned up, but it seemed that it was no longer convenient for me to visit this evening.

Somehow, we talked about it as soon as we could.

"That was it. Did you find anything new?

I was worried, but I didn't use communication technology to avoid third party interception, and I was planning to meet and talk in person.

"Nh... I see. Ask them -"

So Julie's words were cut off by the sound of the guns coming out of the window.

Everybody's got a quick look at you.

Large grains of snow stirred by strong winds were blowing violently through the window glass. The outside is completely white, and you can hear a lot of gravel hitting the walls and ceilings. From the gap in the building, the freezing wind came in relentlessly.

Nevertheless, for a moment, the original silence soon returns. The strong snow and wind remained the same.

"......,...... is that a groove? The grains seem big, so I don't think hail. Anyway, it's so snowy."

It was a scavenger guard who relaxed his shoulders, but I doubted Bergrette's words immediately afterwards.

After breakfast, shall I snow?

"Heh!?

"What? Lugo, make a funny noise."

"No, no, no, that's my line, Beliko-san. I'm just looking at the roughness outside and saying,"

"Oh, that's why. It must be snowing around the clinic. I'm keeping Dr. Gottfried away, so we need to manage the clinic properly. The people of the city are doing their best."

The more I asked her, the more she looked like an honorary student.

"Uhhh...."

Looking out, there's a lot of snow that keeps falling indefinitely. The sight is so glowing. I can't even imagine how much it would cost to protect the homeland from the northern kingdom. If I leave it, will the building be buried?

Anyway, as Bergrette said, you can't pretend not to see it, even if you're letting me sleep.

"Ah... you know, Snow Jazz cherry branch teacher said that. Snowflake tricks are something you do often."

Fufu, yeah.

"I don't know how. If you eat, will you be working all day...."

And the three people who worked on preparing the meal heard a scream from the outside.

Everyone also quickly turns to the outside of the window.

"... what?

The guard who rushed over the window and saw the sight could not grasp the situation aggressively.

The people of the city who were supposed to be working in the snowstorm are running all at once. Everyone's face was uniformly down... facing their feet, some of them bent down and stretched the scoop into the hole in the snow canal.

…… What are you doing...?

It's a waterway. Something's flowing through it. People follow it.

"No!

The answer came first from Bergrette. She stood up vigorously and ran away grabbing her jacket with unusual brutality.

"Belko!?

"Someone must have fallen into the waterway!

That's where I thought of Iwasaki.

As soon as I arrived in the Imperial City of Istenrich, I heard a story from Hefner as I watched the legendary waterway. Every year, there are people who fall and are washed away.

"Hey, Belko....! Ah, he's gone... I'm sorry, Julie, can you wait for me to come too...?!

"Yeah, yeah."

We can't all leave without Sabel and Edvin in bed.

For the time being, Julie's defense team decided to follow after Bergrette, who jumped out at a glance.
