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

Regular soldier Hefner Agston of Badarnois looked out the window as he was swayed by the carriage.

A white landscape that I've been familiar with since I was a child.The roads, trees, and streets are covered in snow.

It's not raining now, but it's not peeking in the clear.The sky was closed by thick clouds.

The young man was staring at the scenery, but his consciousness was looking somewhere else.

(What the hell happened...?)

Three days after Lenore and Meltina were found in the Imperial Capital of Istenrich and a massive capture operation was launched.

That day, Hefnell, who was off-duty, stopped by a small village to the east to hear from the residents who could help him with the snow.I wanted to gather information not only from the Imperial City, but also from people living in other areas.

We have identified the Lenore hideout, and there have been pressing situations where we do not know when the capture will be issued, but we are not worried.

In any case, a meticulous operation devised by two talents named Ohmzorf and Belgrette.Not only the beloved saintly lady, but also the brightness of the girl knight who came from a southern country.The two of them are joining hands. It's impossible to fail.

This is the end of Lenore and Meltina's escape.

And the identity of the enemies lurking in the Royal Palace of Badarnois will be revealed.

With that in mind - Lenore and Meltina finally made their move and the capture operation unfolded three days ago.

Hefnell was unlucky not to be there, and he thought that he had become a prodigal foot when he tried to gather information, but in any case, it was supposed to be over.

(This is......)

Remove them from the mouse bag under your feet.

A few sheets of paper completely wrinkled.No matter how many times I checked it, I was not mistaken.

--Arrangement letter.

It's been about half a month since we've known each other.They were supposed to be comrades to get rid of the darkness of nesting in Badarnois.In addition to Nirvana, Belgrette, and Edvin, Sabel and Julie will also be announced as bounty heads.

(Why, you guys....)

In my mediocre life of about twenty years, I was never more surprised than the moment I saw this.

First, Hefnell went straight to the Gottfried Clinic to confirm this arrangement.Sabel and Edvin weren't even conscious yet.

But there were no... five of them in that place, captured by the soldiers.There was already no trace, and the sky was empty.

(Sabelle and the others had already recovered...?Belgrette and the others didn't let me know....)

Have you been deceived?Did you use it conveniently?As this letter of arrangement shows, they were the evil ones.

It was discovered at the same time, but Lenin, the mother of Lenore, who had been resting in the palace, had disappeared.Before even the gatekeeper noticed.

It is rumored that this is also the work of Belgrette and the others.

(Ladies and gentlemen.....)

Honestly, I can't say it's that deep. "But..."

At least Belgrette's sense of justice when she rescued Elsa, a museum worker, was not a lie.I don't know much about the Diaspora and Edvin, but I can see that he's not a bad person.Will Belgrette, Rendezvous's royal guard, imitate sin in this country in the first place?

And Hefnell, who is slightly brighter with information such as the adventurer outside, knew about Sabel and Julie before he even met her.They are not villains by mistake.It was obvious even if I tried to deal with it in practice.

In the first place, I don't understand the situation at all.

Wasn't the enemy an Orkestar?Did the Belgrettes conspire with them?But Edvin and Sabelle would have been so damaged by them.What do you mean?

Anyway, I don't understand anything.

(I knew it... I didn't expect you to make such arrangements..."...... I can't fall in love anyway......"

The amount appended to each sketch is three million escalations per capita.

He is accused of disturbing the investigation with the criminal Lenore.

Fifteen million for five people.Together with Lenore, it is a huge sum of 30 million.

(That's a lot of money for Badarnois now....)

Even Hefnell, who was only a soldier, could tell. There's no way I can pay for it.

The answer to that question is:

(Um, the consultant...)

On the thirteenth day of the month of Purifying Buds, when the operation was decided, three extra people entered the Royal Palace in the name of being appointed as "Special Consultant".

That's good. It's a shortage of manpower, Badarnois.If you're a competent person, you don't care if you're from outside.It is consistent with Ohmzorf's policy, which is not bound by the ancient traditions.

(But....)

Hefner was only seen in the distance, but the three of them had a strange atmosphere.

One is a woman with a flashy decoration.The strange wind body with a small bell on its entire body was a figure who stood out as a person who looked down on people as giving away a hundred steps.I didn't even try to remove the black glasses I was wearing in the palace, and there was no sign of "saki" in the ceremony. The name is Mutti Nibelier.

And one is a lean man with a curved spine.This was a polite person, but there was an atmosphere of rudeness somewhere.I had the impression that I didn't know what I was thinking from the bottom of my heart, even though I was clinging to it. The name is Monotra Giln.

And the last one is a creepy man with his whole body wrapped in a black robe.Such a sophisticated chanting sorcerer [Mage]... is somewhat unusual.I couldn't even worship my face, but it was called Aldomirar.

It is said that with their financial assistance, unusually expensive arrangements have been realized.

…………

It's not that I can say it out loud.

The three of them seemed unworthy of entering the royal palace.

The month of bud purification, the thirteenth day.The day the operation unfolded... something has clearly changed since then.It was also sharply and vastly. What happened without Hefner's knowledge?

(No, I'm not the only one. everyone is confused.....)

The factional neutrals are uniformly puzzled.The guest turned around and asked for Belgrette.Three people of unknown background who were suddenly greeted by the royal palace as they were replaced.

The Omsolves will know more about it.But they don't want to talk about it.

Neutral people who were with Ohmsorf at the scene also said that they could not figure out what happened.It seems that Ohmzorf and Belgrette, who seem to know each other's reasons, had a conversation that no bystander could understand.

However, the origins of those who were there at the time or the strange rumors are whispering.

Ohmzorf tried to kill Mertina.

However, the opponent could not publicly declare such a thing to the [Penta] as a hero.Of course, it is also impossible to designate it as a prize head.Because the whole country is enveloped in a vortex of chaos.

It seems that some speculate that they were best friends since the time of the church's college students, but that they broke up with some kind of firmness.

(Anything is ridiculous. No way, that's why those two... they can't be like that)

There are false reports of Meltina being captured in the middle of the operation, and anything that hasn't happened has been circulated.In the first place, I don't think there's a decent flow of information between the factions.

In an attempt to get some accurate information, Hefnell spoke to Gameeha, a friendly soldier who had joined the operation that day.

{Simply put... you've been betrayed.Don't forget about them. "

My best friend, who was chatting brightly every day, only said with a strange face and slapped me on the shoulder.

What? Isn't it true that Lord Mertina Snow was trying to kill him? What do you think?Your beloved Emanu-sama... "

I interrupted the conversation in a hurry.

If you ask about a new special counselor,

You shouldn't be arrogant.But if Badarnois needs it, I can't help it.No matter what kind of guy... it's indispensable for the rejuvenation of the country. ”

What he himself was not convinced of was not immediately apparent from the look on his face.

"It can't be helped... if it's to revive Badarnois..."... even I don't care what it takes to do that. "

I felt like my spine was twitching.It was the eyes of a determined man.

{...... So are you, too, right? Hefner......]

At last, I wanted to affirm it.

(...... Really...... what's going on?)

That day, Hefnell could not help but be present at the place and possess only mediocre powers and brains.

I can't believe I'm a soldier, and I can't even question Ohmsorf.

"Oh, oh"

The wagon shook heavily, pulling my consciousness towards you.

"...... you've finally arrived"

If you're aware, you're finally at your destination.

The shadows of buildings enlarged and increased in anarchy by unscrupulous joints. Industrial city, Ubas Lula.

"... why am I doing this?"

Foolishness abounds.

Yesterday, a letter arrived from Halschwald, a long way from here, from where I was originally working.It's from my boss, Hyodor.

He went to this tavern in Ubasrullah and said he had some goods he wanted to collect.The soldier's equipment made it stand out, so he told me to go in plain clothes.If you wait indoors for a while, people will show up.

(Why are you even dressed up...? I don't think it's illegal.)

Hyodor is a rough man, but he can't be the one who dyes his hands in evil.

"Haa..."

That just happened.I was mentally tired, and the place was Yubusurla.I don't feel much like it.

That's fine, but today it took me a long time to secure the carriage.It seems that some kind of rough pattern is approaching, and a lot of carriages are mobilizing to bring supplies to the north of the country.

Badarnois is divided between the north and south of the country, with the Great White Valley in the center as its boundary.

This is the only road connecting the north and the south, mainly in winter.

The north is the northernmost point of the continent, so if the White Grand Canyon were to be blocked, it would be completely isolated.Without exaggeration, snow can often make it difficult to get through for a few days, so it is possible to carry a lot of food and daily necessities before the weather becomes rough.

As of yesterday, I had heard rumors, so I arranged for a carriage, but it still took time.

"Huh..."

I would have liked Gamyha to come with me in the barracks of this city, but Hefnell is strictly asked to go alone, so that no one will ever know.On the contrary, the letter said that no one should follow me.

Eventually, the flowing landscape stopped and the horse snapped.

"Hey, ubasulla, you're on the third street. I'm waiting for you, customer."

Thank you very much.

Paying the fee, Hefnell opened the door and stepped on the cobblestone covered in thin snow.
