In the middle of the Imperial Capital, Istenrich's Palace "Palais Shell-On" is a large conference room on the second floor.

This room is mainly used by aristocrats, clerks, and commanders.

Five people sit on the chairs surrounding the round table in the room, which is organized in a clean and simple atmosphere based on blue curtains and white walls.Three of them were clearly not Badarnois, nor were they visible to the officials of the royal palace.

"It looks like you struggled because of the snow, but the installation of the sealing needle [Fujitsu] is now complete."There was no need to install it in the west and north, but it was easier there. ”

It was a young man called Monotra Giln who rolled his back in plain clothes.Bossy red hair, fallen eyes, large eels, and unnatural hanging lips on the right side.The contour of the face and the shape of the eyes and nose are asymmetrical and cause a clear distortion.

"This should make it easier for Badarnois to communicate from the inside out... and vice versa."It's in place in Halschwald, in the Neutral Zone. ”

General Bendism sighed sternly against a man who laughed despicably.

A large battle-scarred soldier with a shrunken white beard swings his thick neck to the side just to say hello.

"Are you generating areas that artificially block communications?It's an incredible story..... "

"Please, you can try your own communication and check it out. It's easy to do."

"Hmm, I can't handle such a fine technique."

In response to the ironic monotrax, the general responded on the face of the Buddha.

"In fact, isn't there anyone who can fly communications to the land of Yoso?" In this country. "

Sitting shallowly in a chair, Mutti Nibelier wrapped in flamboyant, brilliant clothes.The phase hasn't changed, and the black glasses keep the line of sight from blinking.

No.

Ohmzorf, who was sitting in the deepest seat, answered with a denial.In the usual silver shrine attire.Even if you are aware of evil, its exterior remains the same.

No one, including me, is so skilled in communications.

This also has to do with the temperament of the humans living in Badarnois.

I don't rely on people from other countries.Therefore, there is no need to have sufficient means of communication across countries.A manifestation of such arrogance.

Mertina, who is the "Penta", will be able to master it without much effort if she feels like it.

However, due to her professional nature as a sniper who needs to concentrate in a quiet environment, and her lonely nature in the first place, she does not like communication.Rather than interacting with each other, they have crafted their own technology for cutting off incoming communications.

"But right now... the most problematic thing is that Belgrette Fizz Gertiroude... her identity."

In response to General Bendism's words, the Holy Lady nods silently.

“It's a matter of concern here that someone from Raindill is trying to get in touch with her who will never return.”

If the Royal Guard on his way to Badal Noisy doesn't return to live, the Rendezvous will be suspicious.At the moment, more than a month has passed.

I may be able to send Yodo-san [Mage], a highly skilled communicator, to Halschwald in the Neutral Zone to get in touch with him.

A sealing needle to prevent it from happening.

"It's easy... but if you don't connect with it, it's easy to think that it's strange."I'm trying to enter the country. "

“Yes, not everyone in Badarnois knows about her in the first place.Therefore, before that... we must finish everything in the last month. "

This is the reason for the complete ban on leaving the country, the blocking of communications, and the blocking of streets.

Even irrelevant merchants cannot be allowed to leave the country.I don't want Belgrette being told outside or given a letter of arrangement.

I managed to instantly tailor Badarnois to be an island on land, but this kind of recklessness couldn't last long.The limit is one month at most.

And for that reason...

"Please, Lord Mutti."

When I turn around with a polite bow,

"Ke, you might be shaking your face like a man."Well, I'm pretty sure you let them get away with it, and I'm going to do it. "

The woman from the dark organization waved her hand.The bells on her clothes chant.

And the man in black, who hadn't said a word without moving so slightly, laughed with a rusty voice.

"Ku, fufu. Uncharacteristic." Mutti-sama of the Annihilation Squad [Ostinato] is unusually weak. "

"Huh? Asshole or Aldomirar." Whatever comes towards you, you can kill it, but you must be struggling to find and chase the rabbit running around in this fucking wide snow country. "

The corners of the woman's mouth, painted in thin red, were hanging up viciously.

"Oh, it's Aldomirar." It just so happens that there was a proper fusion, right?Instead of temei, you have to sweep it up and throw it away.Shall I rip it off? It's the organ that's causing the growth. "

"Oops, this is too much, excuse me for imitating Ta, Ta"

Tonguing without hiding, Mutti turns his gaze through the black glasses to Ohmzorf.

"So, Saintess." How do you think they're going to work? "

"That's right..."

They disappeared suddenly when everything came to light, but their survival is certain.

A stranger testifies that he carried four of them to the neighbouring village.

He often wondered, and Ohmzorf opened his mouth.

"As for Belgrette and the others... we have rendezvoused with Lenore and joined forces with Mertina."And if you recognize that the enemy that threatens you is me...... the Empire of God Badarnois...... "

Well, it's easy to escape, isn't it?

Monotra shakes her head from side to side, and she's right.No matter how many heroes Mertina can resist the 'nation' with such a small number.

Best of all, if we take Lenore back safely and let them have their mother, Lenin, they will no longer have a reason to stay in Badarnois.

/(exp) if/if/if/if/if/if/if/if

“They should try to get out of Badarnois somehow.As long as I can escape from the country, I will be able to denounce my actions. ”

On the contrary, if that happens, it's over.Think of it as our defeat.

"In other words, it would be easier if they broke through the southern border gate and went down to Halschwald."It's a neutral zone... and it's easy to find Raindeal's soldiers. "

Everyone will think of Monotra's guess.

However,

“No, not necessarily.”

The Holy Lady denies it.

"There is a possibility that we will aim for the eastern gate, not the south."

For a moment, the silence surrounded the venue.She opened her mouth slightly dumbfounded.

"East... you can't go back to Raindeal if you go there."

"That's right.... it's impossible to leave immediately."

"...... no way......"

Perceived Ohmzorf's intentions, Mono-Tra tightened the edge of his mouth.

Leaving Badarnois through the east gate, the 'Northern Horizon (North Grandaria)' stretches straight into the distance.It was a magic realm that could not be compared to the original Tsubaki in terms of danger.The monsters that surpassed human knowledge were stupidly in the unexplored realm.

At the center of the forest, which boasts a large number of countries that can be comfortably accommodated, is a god tree called "Edon Elephant", a sacred tree atop the roof.Its tree height can be thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, but the true value is unknown.On a clear day, the distant shadow -- like that -- could only be asked vaguely, and there were no humans who could reach it from the past to the present.

And for the record, there are ten monsters that sleep around the god tree, which is also called the Lord of Hidden Spaces.

Its name is commonly known as "Pick-Up Heavenly Colored Calamity [Jiden Sakai]".

These demons were known to be the incarnation of a catastrophe beyond human knowledge.Echoing the ancient times, the "King of the Ending Python" [Kuchinawa] Vinturasia, the ten strongest and worst kings destroyed many kingdoms.

By the destruction of Vintulasia, the end of the heavens, it is said that they also fell into eternal sleep.

In any case--while looking at the majesty of such a god tree, I continued to bypass the "Northern Horizon (North Grandaria)" along the rough streets for about twenty days, and eventually arrived at the Patriarchate of Kadankatia.

From there, two weeks further west to the Eiffel Tower.If we continue south on the country, we will eventually reach Rique Ebble, the territory of the Raindill.

"No, no, no, no... I don't even know how many months it will take me to get there."

"But eventually we'll get there." Belgrette wouldn't be surprised if she was so intimidated. ”

There can be no one heading east to Raindale.If you head south, it'll be a week.But if I knew that I was heavily guarded there--

Normally, I wouldn't do it... so it's easy to do.

It's never an easy journey... but there's no guarantee that we'll make it.In the east, the streets are not very well arranged, and there are many hatreds and bandits.Not to mention the fact that there is not as much snow in winter as in Badarnois, so travelers who are not prepared will surely run out of energy along the way first.

However, we are accompanied by familiar traveling savels, and militantly, Mertina.It is by no means impossible. In theory.

"Nhh..."

The sound of the bell whispered softly.

"Well, that shouldn't be a problem."If we go that way, we'll have to go through Eiffel.Then that's the end of the story. "

"... yes."

Mutti's words were affirmed by Ohmzorf.

The Kingdom of Eiffel. It is the land where the Commander of the Orkestar, Quindor, was born and raised.He used to be deputy commander of the Knights.

And now Orkestar is home to the southernmost city of the Eiffel Tower, Fine Zax.

A short journey south will take us to Rike Eble, home of the Reindeer, but more importantly, the Belgrettes will approach the home of the Orkestars.And it's not an organization that misses it.

It was a long journey that didn't even make contact with the Raindealers until it reached Riquet Eble.

"Worst of all, even if I can't get out of the East Gate, there's no problem." What should I do? "

In response to Mutti's question, Ohmzorf responded immediately.

"As planned, we hardened the south and thinned out the east."But of course, I'm not going to let Misui go out of the country.The goal is only to capture them in the country.Above all, if you unnaturally loosen the guards on the east side, Belgrette will come around. ”

Ohmzorf admitted it. That girl, the Knight, thinks above herself.

If so, we must weave that assumption into our thinking as well.How does she move while overturning our thoughts? Read on.

And with a sigh of gloom, the leader of one country speaks of his concern.

"... there are other things I have to think about.It's about time my deeds reached [them] 's ears. "

General Bendisme, who suspected it, rubbed his chin and beard in the sinister face.

"... I see. [Snowstorm White Knights [Grachella Duela] - that Svorun must have seen this."

They are the elite Knights of Badarnois who have recently been sent to the Crusade of the Devil of Hatred in the northern region of Courtwell.

Mutti throats with pleasure.

"Ahh. The ones who got caught up in Atai's plan."

It wasn't just a coincidence that a demon of resentment appeared.I aimed at it and made it appear there. By the power of the Orkestar.

Ohmzorf doesn't even know what kind of work it was realized by.The Hatred Devil never obeys a person.I don't do what people think I do.But in fact, the Hatred Demon exposed its appearance in the northern land.We managed to get the Svoruns to the crusade and get them away from this palace.

But the only unexpected thing...

"I don't know much about that... but speaking of the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela], it's easy for that strange man to do the same."

Monotra frowns and cuts out.

"Ke, you're so subtle?" You can't talk about people, Monotra. "

"Please don't tease me, Mutti-san"

"... 'he'... is a person with unpredictable behavior, but he is harmless."

If I thought that I had accepted Ohmsolf's request for a demon crusade, I turned it down reluctantly. In the end, I was one of the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela] who stayed in the palace - Migasintia Elto Martiborg.

Shortly after the end of the operation the other day, Ohmzorf visited his room.In the name of reporting that you took three of these Orkestars and brought them to your new position.Of course, there was another intention hidden behind it.

That is, 'threat'.

If it gets in the way, get rid of it.

"Well, you were a subtle bastard."Nitanita said that. "

Mutti lifts the edge of his mouth.

"That bastard... even in front of the three of them, he didn't even move."I tried to use it there, but there was a lot of people out there... I bet you knew the fight was going to kill Teme. "

"He's such a man, but he's quite a cutter.I understood.That you would never do anything to yourself in that place. "

In addition to Mutti, there was a situation where there was a monotra with a multi-attribute Aldomylar and a handshot.

Even though I was a powerful Miga Singhtia, it was easy to get rid of it right there.But if you imitate them like that, the White Soldiers will turn to the enemy.If a full-scale battle breaks out with the White Guards staying in the castle, it will cause damage that cannot be ignored.We have to deal with Belgrette now, but we can't make such a fool of ourselves.

... even though it was a threat, it's hard to wipe him out instantly.After all, they saw through it.

By the way, after the operation was over, Ohmzorf heard that he was working with Mertina for a while.I tried to question it subtly,

'Fu, kuku. This is a different thing to say.It wasn't until I lent my name and made it credible in a maneuver to spread false news that Mertina was captured. ”

I couldn't help laughing with a shrug on my shoulder.The sure thing is,

"He is a person who believes in 'ease' and takes precedence over everything else.I'm not interested in things that I don't enjoy.At the very least, I don't think we should imitate ourselves or the White Sailors in danger. ”

If you show a strange gesture, you may cause damage to the White Soldiers.With that in mind, it is unlikely that he will strike at the offensive.

“It shouldn't be a problem to sit still for a while.”

After actually dealing with him, Ohmzorf decided so.

It was the man in black, Aldomirar, who answered the maiden's conclusion.

"You don't need to tell me."Let's get rid of Dee anytime. ”

Mutti laughed suddenly.

"Ke, I hope I don't have to run into a backlash."I can do that, that laughing man. "

"This! This is carefree and painful.Raw hatred, now that I'm doing just as well, don't worry about it. "

"I see."... oh, that reminds me. "

Mutti turned his spear.

"...... 'How are you doing, Ohmzorf?'"

Her smile grew sharper.

The saintly lady, who grasped the meaning of the small words, without mistaking them,

"... nothing in particular has changed.If it weren't for anything...... I wouldn't have missed [this]. "

He dropped his gaze to his palm and answered without falsification.

I see.

It was such a short exchange.

Mutti with a tea-tasting effect. Monotrax laughs in an irrelevant standing position.

…………

Silently...... Aldo Miral can't help but create an atmosphere similar to that of hostility, even with the hood covered in the depths of his eyes.

I felt like I had a glimpse of each of the heterogeneous underworlders' positions.

General Bendism only closes his eyelids with a stern expression.It was a natural reaction. If you are a devout Curerenean.

Looking at them like that, Ohmzorf puts the place together.

"Then, please go to your respective positions."In the near future, Belgrette and the others should be able to see some movement.I don't know where they are... General Bendism, please keep your eyes peeled. "

Roger that. I've already seized one that might be a clue.

"... you're Hefner Agston, aren't you?"

General Badarnois. Ability is mediocre, and there is nothing noteworthy about it.

But he is the one who brought the Belgrettes from Halschwald to this palace.Since then, he has also interacted with them and seemed to be close to them.

"Please keep an eye on me."

“What's the problem?

He's supposed to be just a soldier, and when he moves, things move.

Ohmzorf was so sure.
