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

"I don't know how they and Emmanuel got to know each other... but I can easily imagine what kind of negotiations there were."

Orkestar will provide the funds needed to rebuild Badarnois.

In return, Mertina was asked for an organ in which the power of the "Penta" resided.

"Shh... but Orkestar... with enough financial resources to help rebuild a country...?"

"I'm sure you have it."

Hefner's question was answered by Larutz, who shakes the cigarette smoke.

"There are rumors that some of their constituents are people with an unbelievable identity."Even with the handshot and Septius, it's obvious that there's a lot of money in it. "

It was Sabel who went on there.

"One example of the unforgiving use of such high financial power was the arrangement of Lady Lenore..."

"Now we're bounty owners, too."

Julie put her head on his shoulder.

Meltina sighs as she looks up at the high stone ceiling.

"At first, I thought it was impossible.I can't believe Emmanuel is acting like this.However, if you calm down and think about it, it's more like her. "

"Sounds like..."

Even so, reflexively, a groan of denial overflows from Hefner's throat.

However, the white hero who knew the saint better than Hefner continued with a smirky expression.

"Yeah, I made a real mistake like her."

With good insight, we foresee a future in which Badarnois will perish.With an extraordinary sense of responsibility, I embraced everything on my own.Immaculate and pure, therefore, instigated by the wicked.

However, I couldn't find any other way, and now I'm sure I'm pushed with awareness of evil---.

"...... I don't want to let go of my power, but that's why... I don't think so."

The label scratches my head with a complicated look.

Meltina was small and perceptible.

"Everyone says in their mouths, 'My country is supreme', 'It is impossible for my country to perish'."Despite such a 'wonderful country', no one wants to take the 'why' throne.With that in mind, Emmanuel was recommended, and she took it upon herself to be useful to herself... In fact, she was just pushed into a ship with a broken rudder.Only to be bombed, because you sank.And she took the situation in reverse.It's really my fault.I'll use any hand I can.I'm going to be a rare evil king, and I'm going to rebuild the foundations of my country with whatever accent I get.... and then give up your seat to someone else.In that sense, I don't think I'm going to relinquish my power at any rate right now... "

I'm trying to hug myself to cleanse this country of all negative things.

After that, to entrust this clean country to someone.

"... that's... that's like a raw sacrifice..."

Meltina did not deny Hefner's stunned moan.

"It's strange to say."In the far southeastern kingdom of referee witchcraft, I've heard that a woman called [Shrine Maiden] is chosen as a sacrifice when things go wrong... but Emanu wanted to be like that herself. "

"Well then... by the way, whatever you do, I have to stop you."

It was Belgrette who infiltrated the will forcefully.

"Currently, the custom of sacrificing the [Shrine Maiden of the Divine Region] in Refe has been eliminated."Because it was a bad guy, it was eliminated. "

"Oh, I see." I didn't know that.Then again, we can't let Emmanuel follow that path. "

The white hero smiled thinly and put his hand on his chest.

"I... would gladly give my life for Emmanuel."

"...... Mel......"

Lenore, who had listened so quietly, called his name sadly.

"Mei, Lord Mertina, what are you saying..."

Hefner couldn't help but get upset.Acts and ideas that abandon their lives are contraindicated among the followers of the Curelene.

"Well, listen to me for a second."... so if Emanu needs my death in the process of reaching her goal, that's fine. but..... "

The smile disappears and the white, neat eyebrows twist.

"Emanu involved an irrelevant Ren.Not only that, but the people working in museums and stores also used the people of Ichii who were innocent.I wonder if that's the way to add to the troubles of those who have revealed their troubles by believing in Emanu... "It's definitely not forgiven. "

……

Hefnell himself looked into it and told Belgrette and the others.

"Leave her alone, and she'll repeat the same trick."It may be an unavoidable sacrifice.If I were told to come up with an alternative, nothing would come to mind for me now.Still... it's ridiculous to sacrifice a people to rebuild a country for them to live in. "

"...... ah"

Elsa's interactions resurfaced in Hefner's mind.

She was frightened because she was unaware of the unusual situation and just wanted to pay for the treatment of her father's illness.

As for the other Niklas, he was handled conveniently and his life was taken away.

"I'll stop Emmanuel." I won't let her do what she wants anymore. "

It was a strong-willed word.

However, this is the case.

"But, but... what are you going to do?"

The state now regards most of those present as sinners.In other words, everyone is trying to fight the [Badarnois God Empire itself].

"Hmm, that's why I asked you to come."I want you to tell me what's going on inside the Royal Palace. "

"My, even if you say how it is..."

“Just make it easy. If you're saying you can't talk because you support Emmanuel, that's fine."

"No, no! That's not true!"

I still can't believe it. That saintly lady was struck by such outrage.

But what if I was in her shoes?

The future of the country is hopeless.Eight blockages, no strikes. If there is anything that can break this situation, I wonder if it will be rejected even if I know it's evil.

(I... don't know. I don't know, but....)

It's just...

If everything went according to Ohmsolf's intentions, what would Badarnois do... and what would become of the Saintess herself?

At least... I couldn't imagine a bright future awaited.

"If you're sure of Lord Meltina and Mr. Belgrette... Emma, you can't leave Priest Ohmzoruf like this..."

In every sense of the word.

In this way, the [Saintess of Truth]...... her admired woman will make a name in history as a rare wicked woman.

Is that okay, Hefner-kun?

Julie asked me to work hard.Ask questions that include the meaning of whether you don't have to be a thinker.

"... yes"

That is why it is so important.

I don't want to see her stained with evil any more because I have a pale love for her.

Meltina opens her mouth as if nothing was the matter as she hardens her resolve in secret.

"In any case, your current position is quite difficult."I brought Bergrette and the others to Badarnois... which means that they're looking out for Emmanu and the others as one of the few 'contacts'. ”

Huh?

The white heroine continues while Hefnell rolls her eyes.

"In fact, this is how we had to rely on you."If it's true, I'd like to protect you from unnecessary danger..."If you disappear here, you will be considered the worst betrayal, and even you will be arranged..... "

"Huh!?"

I didn't even think about it. The fierce coldness descended on the bottom of my stomach.

"Nnnh, right. Well, as expected, I wouldn't impose that much on you.I'm just imitating something that doesn't even seem like it, and if it's too obvious, some third parties might be suspicious of Emmanuel.It just has to be thought of as a possibility. ”

However, it was coded to the point of being giddy.

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

The gaze of Gamyha's ruthlessness at that time.

Words like piercing a nail... I mean, that's what it was.

"Think about it without flushing, Hefner."

In the exact opposite of the voice of a childhood friend who rose from the back of his head.

It was the youth of the treasure hunter who had spoken so gently before the first meeting.

"Mr. Sabel..."

"This is how I called you, but you can still turn back."You can get out of here and report our whereabouts to the palace.If you do that, you'll turn around from a standpoint where you can see it, and you'll be a big player. "

"Woah...!"

I accidentally lost my words.

For as long as you're born. Grab attention.

"Come on. If he's gonna sting this place in the palace, let me tongue him in." I'm really sorry. "

Larutz exaggeratedly shrugged his shoulders.

This is a turning point.

Unknowingly, the state is watching the trend.

Be prepared to help Belgrette and the others.Or will you be the royal palace's vanguard?

"...... I guess......"

Hefner's voice, which was slightly narrower, was slightly faint.

"Please don't lick me, Sabel-san"

Still, I can't help but say it.

Towards him with his eyes wide open and everyone gathered here.

"Even so, I am a soldier from Badarnois who passed the official examination."Soldiers must always be on the side of the righteous.If it is the country that is wrong now... it is my job to correct it. "

I know, I know.

If you're not in a position to utter such big words, you don't have the power.

But that's why.

At least not the will.

"... I see."

Fu, Sabelle loosened her mouth and laughed.

Meanwhile, Larutz, who had led Hefnell so far, snorted in his arms.

"Well, I guess I can say 'I'll be on the side of the country' in this place where the 'bounty head' is aligned with the goose's head."

"Mr. Larutz, you were right. Please don't lick me, either."

Ahhn?

"Now that I've done my part in being cute, Badarnois doesn't know where to go.Then it doesn't make any sense. "

I see. I hope it's not just the mouth.

“I'll show you, act.”

I completely dropped my words and turned to Mertina.

The white 'Penta' smiled with satisfaction.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're a promising young man.Well, then... for now, let me tell you a little bit about the situation inside the Royal Palace. "

Sure enough, the will was firm.

But,

"Um, um... I don't want to answer that... but there's almost nothing I know... um... if there's anything..."

"Well, I'll ask you a question and you'll answer me."What's going on with the soldiers now? "

"Oh, yeah. Then... it looks like we're laying a heavy security net near the southern border to keep everyone out of the country."

Belgrette and her family live about five days south of Raindeal.

As a royal palace, you can't break through here if you're being driven into innocent sin.

If the Royal Guard Belgrette runs away and tells the truth, the prospectus of Ohmsolf and others will fail.

(...... Ah. If that happens.....)

The Young Soldier noticed.

I often hear about the topic because I work in a neutral zone where both the Badarnois and the Reindeer live.

The mighty Lion King Ardia and his immediate elite battalion, "Silvarios".The king and his troops are the strongest men on the continent.

What retribution would the king suffer if he found out that he had unjustly deceived his own knights?

(But....)

Even if that were the case.

I didn't think the current royal palace was a good idea.

"Also, by the way... it seems that the communication technique can't get far, but do you know anything about it?"

"Huh? Communication?" No... I can't connect...? "

"As it is." Gu... an acquaintance tried to contact Halschwald, but no matter how many times he tried, he didn't get a transmission.I just happened to think that no one answered, but I think it is somewhat different.I don't think this has ever happened before. "

"That kind of thing...?" No, I haven't been told anything. ”

If you think about it, it shouldn't be impossible for a good surgeon to communicate from here to Halschwald.

For example, if we can fly communications to that neutral zone, where Hefnell was originally working, and inform the Raindill soldiers of the status quo, that should help some countries.But if we don't get through... maybe it's due to some kind of workmanship.

Hmmm. So, what about the eastern border?

Huh?

Instantly, a question that breaks the mind. Hefner unexpectedly looked back at Mertina.I couldn't grasp the sincerity of what I said.

What's going on at the eastern border?

The white lady adds her words and asks again.

"East... is that it? That's... yes, I guess it's the usual...?"

I don't have to think about it.

Whether or not the Belgrettes can escape to their home in the south.

In such a situation, the eastern border has nothing to do with it.It should be.

"Hmm. Let's go, Mr. Belgrette."

"... yes."

The Ladies exchange such exchanges.

"......?... no, no way"

I thought about it. Even Hefnell, who is aware of mediocrity.After a slight blank.

"Wait, I'm trying to get out of the paltry east...... Badarnois.....?"

It is certainly not impossible.

It's an extremely long way, but you can go to the end of a long journey to Rheindale.But that's just on the map.In theory, it's only possible.

If it has to be implemented, it will cross several countries.It will take a vast amount of moonlight, and the seasons will also change.

Of course, it's not all about safe streets.Thieves, hostile demons, entrenched terrain, and threats from nature... are all waiting for you.All in all, it's not very realistic.

Well, I don't want to tell you that you might have such a choice.

It seemed unlikely that Meltina's meek smile would tell her how serious she really was.

"For the rest... that's right. How does it feel to be appointed a special counselor?I gave you a position on purpose, and you live in a palace with dignity, right? "

Huffy Hefner opened his mouth in a hurry.

"Yes, that's right! You didn't tell me about them...!I mean, uh... you know those three guys? "

"Emanu summoned them right in front of her and took care of them on the spot."It was just after the battle, so I don't know anything about the rest of it. "

"Well, you're on the left...!" That said, it was similar to ours... right after that operation, it was really sudden.I'm not a national...... I don't even know who I am...... and all of a sudden I'm welcomed into the palace...... "

Aren't we all puzzled?

“Yes, my colleagues were surprised."There is no precedent for such a decision in the absence of Lord Svorun..."However... they also offered to fund the sweepstakes amount... by offering to cooperate in order to hunt down all of you who have been recognized as new sinners. "

"Haha, I see. Priest Ohmzorf, I didn't lie to you."

Sabelle shrugged her shoulders and laughed.

"What are they...?"

"It's an orchestra."

It was Larutz who brought Hefnell here, to say the least.

"Oh, orke..."

"Did you look like a decent person? They're coming."

"W-Well, that's..."

Hefner himself has been concerned ever since.I didn't think they were worthy of the royal palace.

"Well, then... my God."to welcome a person from a black organization into the palace...! "

"That's why I need information."Do you know anything about it? "

In response to Martina's question, the young man managed to twist his head.

"In particular, any further information..."That's right, that flashy lady... Mutti, I thought.I just heard that she was barely in the Royal Palace right after taking office..... "

"I see. Well, I guess we're looking for 'me' rather than..."

With Mertina's white pupils, Belgrette became small and aggressive.

"There's no point if you're not the one who can suppress me when I'm found."She's the trump card that Emmanuel set up for it. ”

"Mutti..."

It was Lalutz who muttered in a sinister manner.Shake your head like you're shaking off a nightmare somewhere.A somewhat weak technique that didn't match his strong face.

Mertina didn't say anything to anyone, and succinctly monologued.

"You're strong. Honestly, I never thought you'd have that many users." The world is big. "

"... is that your skill?"

Hefner has heard some stories, too.However, it was also eyebrow saliva, and it was only thought that a dozen soldiers who ate the entanglement had been blown up, that the surrounding buildings had collapsed, and that the tail was attached.

“After all, she's the reason we're hiding in an abandoned factory like this.That day, if it were true, this story would have been over if we had captured Emmanuel in the first place.It was that Mutti girl who stopped it.I managed to fulfill the minimal purpose... of escaping together. "

There she cut her words and looked at the iron door, which seemed to lead to the next room.

Larutz continued as if he had taken his intentions.

"Lugo got hit by him.I'm sleeping in your room. "

Faster than Hefnell could make a surprise sound,

"It's not like I got hit."

It was Edvin who disagreed lowly.

"Ahhhh, it's just that the situation was disturbing..."If you're a pure one-on-one with no clumsiness, it's impossible for you to get rid of Aliumi. "

Somewhere, she muttered to herself.

Larutz responded with a sigh.

"If Rugo is strong, I think I know him well."He kicked down others and saved my life at the Numbo Skyfighting Banquet, and he was the kind of man who won in the end....... but even if Mutti went on top of it, I wouldn't be surprised. "

"! Which side are you on? I...!"

I'm just telling the truth.

"W-wait a minute." Mr. Larutz... do you know that person... Mutti before? "

Feeling caught in the conversation, Hefner asked half-reflexively.

His expression oozes bitterness.

"...... I've been involved with my people a long time ago.There were more than twenty of us, but in an instant, they were all pulled down."...... if that's the way it is......"

"Ugh, I can't remember..."

My son's gado gado shrank to hold his head.It seems that he was also present.

"Of course, he's not supposed to remember our faces, though..."

Do you regret not being struck by your teeth, or are you relieved that you have not been struck by such an opponent?A complicated face that can be taken both ways.

"Twenty people in an instant..."If you can imitate it so much, is it still "Penta"? "

As Hefnell, I didn't ask anyone, but [Penta] was here to answer that question.

"No, she's not. Certainly, the power of the magic was high, but it never came back to us without interruption.It was an impression of skillful use of retention, chanting, attack and defense.In that sense, it could be called an exemplary chanting magician [Mage]. "

The decisive difference between ordinary people and transcendents is in the movement called chanting.

There are some masters who can handle the Oracle, a spell no less magnificent than "Penta", but in the end, a long chanting time is necessary for the exercise of such a great skill.Basically, how to shorten chanting is the eternal task of the chanting magician [Mage].

The difference from "Penta", which basically does not require chanting.This cannot be easily filled.

It is also possible to prepare and hold in advance, but the number is limited."Penta", which can be repeated without chanting, is still not available.

"Well, even if I subtract that, I'm pretty sure she's not a regular Yodo [Mage]."I definitely have the power to kill me. "

"...... Mel......"

Meltina returned a mischievous smile to Lenore, who was anxiously calling her name.

"Don't worry about that, Ren.I didn't say anything about losing.If you're talking about being able to kill..., even a child with a knife is capable of doing so. "

Pinching her cough, she corrected her trajectory by saying, "I'm a little off track."

“Where are the other two? It was Monotra and Aldo Mirar.I wonder what they're doing. "

After hearing the name of the former, Lenore and Edvin seemed to react to each other with a label.Looking sideways at the situation, Hefnell told him everything he knew.

“Yes, I don't see much of it, but it looks like he's staying at the palace.”

Hmmm. For the time being, I don't think there's much movement between the two of them, I guess.

Larutz squeezed his shoulders against Mertina with her index finger in her mouth.

"From my point of view, as of now, it's important enough for me to have twelve [souvenirs and treats]."The Orkestars have entered the Royal Palace with dignity.Special counselor, what kind of title is that?I didn't think they'd make such a bold move. "

Most of all, Martina, who smiled bitterly, connects the conversation.

"Now, the problem is the existence of the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela]."Rather than them… Svorun can't tolerate Emmanuel's arbitrariness since the previous operation. ”

The fact that he welcomed three Orkestars to the royal palace with the title of Orkestar, and the fact that he designated five new high bounty heads.Moreover, the subjects were those whom Ohmzorf himself had invited as his guests.

These should have been discussed with the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela] to decide whether or not to accept.

"It's about Emmanuel, it's not a bad idea."Mr. Hefner, have you heard anything about the situation of the Svoruns?It doesn't matter if it's rumored. "

"Um, um... I'm sorry, nothing in particular.After going to the city of Carrigal, I can't come back yet.... "

Rarely, Lenore had a reaction.

"... Carrigal is the northernmost point of Badarnois.... if the Ohmsolves are manipulating the information, it's possible they haven't conveyed it to my brother yet."

"However, it's only been three days since the operation."Even with the delay, it's about time.... it's about him, he'll blow steam out of his head when he finds out what's going on.That heat might melt Carrigal's snow. "

It is a treatment that is likely to call in various speculations, which turns the customers you invite into sinners.Objectively speaking, this is a matter that comes up against Ohmsorf's impression of such an extreme response.Svorun, who respected the exterior, frowned, even though it would not hurt or itch if she decided to be prepared for the evil.

Above all, Svorun, with his patriotism, would never approve of inviting people from outside to the royal palace to hold office.

"I wonder what you're going to do, Emanu..."

Sabel called out to Mertina as she thought about it.

"You're going to use an Orkestar assassin to get rid of it, aren't you?"... just like that for us. "

"Hmm, I don't know. Immediately after such a big move, I was attacked by the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela]... and it was a little blatant.Some ordinary soldiers and civilians may suspect Emmanuel.Best of all, the Svoruns are so elite.It's not like you're going to get assassinated.If you meet Orkestar, you will definitely develop into a big and eye-catching battle. ”

And there, Lenore exchanged opinions.

"...... If you want to capture us at the Royal Palace or Orkestar as soon as possible, you won't be able to afford to spend any effort on that."

Meltina nodded to her words, "That's right."

“I don't know, Mr. Belgrette. I wonder if you noticed anything."

I talked to her, who kept listening.
