"Mr. Hefner, we... will certainly not be able to get out of this country first."

"............ I......"

Hefner couldn't help but utter a word.

Belgrette has calmly analyzed any situation and found a way to solve it.To the conclusion spun out of her.

"The northern part of Halschwald has a limited number of paths."Perhaps a complete siege would not be possible without even a thread on the number of people.The east is the east, so it's not a realistic escape route to Raindeal after all. "

Belgrette nodded quietly to Mertina's words.

"That's why... we've already decided to be prepared..."

Shortly after, I launched a ridiculous declaration.

"We went to the Royal Palace of Badarnois...... We rushed to the Palace of Ice Flowers [Palace Shell On] and took it out."We will capture Lord Ohmsolv. "

"………………………………………………………………………………?"

At that moment, Regular Badarnois stopped thinking altogether.

"... no... no... no... what are you talking about...?"

It is not the place to speak on the issue.Having heard that statement, which should no longer be in the realm of national humiliation, if Badarnois's [Penta] had considered his position, she would have to be angry, but she laughs cheerfully.

"It's really simple, isn't it?"There's no escape. Then fight and win. That's all there is to it. "

"That's it, that's all..."

The opponent is the 'country'. God Badarnois, the Empire itself.Fighting? What are you talking about?

Hefnell was about to blow a bubble, but he was happy to see the light in his mouth.

"... no... but if Lord Meltina were with you, could it be...?"

After all, she was a monopoly on most of the traitors when she was a girl.Depending on the way you stand, you might really succeed.

"No, I won't accompany you.The Belgrettes are the only ones who set up the palace. "

"Geez..."

Why don't you join us?Then what should I do? What are you going to do?It was Mertina who looked surprised at Hefner like that.

"For example, Mr. Hefner." You just said it. [M]If I'm with you, that's also possible..... "

"Yes, yes, yes... I did say that."

"Well then, even if I'm not around... there's a chance that someone like me could do the same thing."

"...... No, that's... I know it might be, but...... but......"

I wonder where such a user could have imagined it.

The white "Penta" pointed to the door that led to the next room as if it were a shaped jaw.

The boy I just heard was asleep in that room.

"...... Mr. Ryugo, is that you?"

I've never seen Hefner so powerful, but I'm sure he's strong.Probably many times more than you. "But..."

"Sure enough, he was deeply beaten by Mutti.But Edvin, what you just said makes sense.He was wounded because he protected us.I probably rushed to change the situation surrounded by a lot of people, but... if I had been able to face it calmly one-on-one from the beginning, it would have been a little more interesting. "

That's why she became a "Penta", a confident artist, a living legend of the North, and a hero, she asserted.

"Lugo is at least as good as me."I'll tell you what, I'm sure of it.I'm good at ranged combat, and he's the opposite of a complete melee subject, so I can't say one thing at a time... but as a single force, it shouldn't make much difference. "

"...... what......"

Perhaps this is the first time.

In the alley, Mertina and Svorun are considered to be perfect twins of Badarnois, but I remember hearing that she doesn't look very good on that score.I think I'm better than you.Born as "Penta", it's natural to be proud of yourself after ruling the civil war.

Such a girlfriend admits it.

He's an exotic soldier.

"I just told you." If Emmanu has a chance, she's not a warrior. "

Meltina, who had her index finger up, smiled lightly.

"That's it. Emmanuel has no idea of his exact strength.You failed to secure me once, and you tried to cut me off immediately.But Emanu wasn't the only one.I'm sure no one in Badar Nois knows his true strength.Just like you are. "

In response to her words, Julie raised her long blonde hair. With a bitter smile.

"To be honest, we were invited by Priest Ohmzoruf, but there was nothing good about it at all ~..."

Invited to secure Mertina and Lenore, but with no result.Now that the truth has been revealed, of course, the results were mostly correct, but even now most people in Badar Nois don't know.

In the world, he is a sinner who betrayed his enemies despite being invited by Ohmsorf.

I'll make sure of it.

Edvin snaps his teeth in a chair in the corner of the room.

"The people of Badarnois are going to know."I've turned Ariumi into an enemy, but I'm not going to let you be such an idiot. "

That look of a bad boy who just says he doesn't feel anxious.An unstoppable face full of thoughts that can't be helped by fun.

Unexpectedly, Hefner looked over at the faces of everyone in the room.The first thing I reacted to was Larutz.

"... I see. Like I said, Ryugo's strength is real."No matter how many soldiers there are, they will be enemies. "

"That's right! I don't want a man stronger than Lugo's brother!"

Gado gado raises a short arm.

As for Hefner, I don't know the details, but I can't suddenly nod my head and say, "Yes, I see."

I turned to the Blue Girl Knight for judgment.To a girl like Crystal of Wisdom, who has revealed all the truths so far.

"... Lugo has defeated many powerful enemies."At least I've never seen him fall and lose.I only believe this time. ”

The maneuver she told me was simple.

The Protector uses a single mount to launch a special attack from the front of the royal palace, attracting the attention of the soldiers while reducing the number of troops.Meanwhile, Belgrette, Sabel, Julie, and Edvin broke through a window on the first floor.I managed to reach the third floor and secure the deepest Ohmsolf.Lenore and Lenin, the Badarnois, were waiting for their mother and daughter to join them.

Forcefully expose Ohmzorf's sins to the daylight.Detention of leaders by a small number of foreign nationals.

………………

Think normally and you can't succeed.Too sudden, too reckless, and--

"But that's it." Mr. Ryugo hasn't woken up yet, has he?I couldn't help but wake up... and in such a sick state, even if I asked you to "Storm the Palace Palace [Palais Shell On] by yourself from the front"... you should shake your head vertically... "

That's right. What about his intentions?In the first place, I don't think that there are people who contract such things regardless of sickness.

Edvin laughed at Hefner's concern.

"Ah? If he is, he will take it in two ways."Say, "Oh, I get it."Rather, I didn't get a chance to wave my fists here.You're getting depressed, aren't you glad to do it? "

…………

It is only natural that he, a friend, should speak out.

Indeed, Hefner knows nothing about the Ranger named Lugo Aliumi.

However, as far as I can tell, he is a very ordinary boy... I'm pretty sure he wasn't the kind of person who would have held such a position in that lion's land.

But that's... that out of the ordinary combat mindset is what makes him so special.

... anyway, it's not decent. No, I don't understand anything.No matter how much Belgrette invented it, this is all...

"Hahaha, you don't think it's going to work, Hefner."Of course, this is still a little nonsense.That's why I've been working on a few things.to improve your success rate...... right? "

Martina closes her eyes and smiles at Belgrette.

"Yes, I'm ready to go, too."We need to do everything we can to turn this situation around. "

The girl's pupils, which were a little long, were diminishing.

Hefner felt a definite rage in his beautiful and powerful [Ice Blue] eyes.

In a cramped carriage.

Having been told what Hefner had to say, the Ohmzorf monks turned a cold blind eye.

"...... Hefner Agston. Did you believe that Yuta story?"

"But in fact, seven hundred people have been properly lured out here."This is also their plan."To keep the majority of the battle force away from the palace..."If you're suspicious, you can leave it to me to search the area.No matter how much we search, we won't find them.This is exactly the moment when you're attacking the palace. "

"... let's suppose that's the truth."So you think you're gonna make it?Do you think that just a few foreigners will seriously fall into the Palace of Ice Flowers [Palace Shell On]? "

"That's why I told you first, I still can't believe it."But now there's no Svorun or the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachela Duela] in the palace...Maybe that's possible. "

"Fu...... Fu, hahaha!Without us, there are more than two hundred men in the royal palace.In addition to that, dozens of knights and court chanting sorcerers (mages).You think the foreigners can kick it off with one finger?Are you serious? Is that what you think as a Badarnois soldier? "

As a Badar Noisy soldier, huh? Aha!

Hefner laughed with his nose.

"There's nothing you can say about that alone."The country and the soldiers who are supposed to protect our people are desperate for innocent people.Is that the right thing to do as a soldier in Badar Nois? "

* giggle *, a dull shock. The stars scattered in front of Hefnell.

I understood that I had been beaten only a while after I had struck my back against the interior wall of the carriage and put on a pestle.

"Be careful what you say, young man."I don't mind slashing it right here. "

Haha, do it.

Immediate response.

You didn't know what you were told.Soldiers stiffen for a few seconds.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from the edges of his nose and mouth, and feeling a tingling pain, Hefnell looked firmly into the other person's eyes.

"When you slashed me, nothing would change for the better."... firmly, 'it doesn't hurt'. It doesn't hurt.When one thinks that one's righteousness is in one's self, one stands up.Deep down, fighting spirit gushed out."How could Gammy Ha have said that one day..."Haha, that's right. This isn't farting.The fist of a coward just drifted by power doesn't work anymore than this. "

"Ah, you, this young-"

The silver light flashed.

A long sword pulled out from the waist by Hefnell, who was resting on one knee on the crotch, was stopped by the opponent's jaw tip.in a form that extends from the bottom.

"......! Ki, you...!?"

"Ah, it worked! Haha!I can do it, too.

"... you know what you're doing...!"

"I'm weak." It's normal to be a soldier... Instead, it's quicker to count from the bottom if you're actually fighting.If I slash with you properly, I will lose and die.But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. "

"...... what...?"

“I don't know if they'll win.But now... I'm convinced I'm not wrong.I know I'm doing the right thing for Badarnois.Unlike you.That's why my courage comes to me. "

You don't even want to die. I don't want to go against Curelene's doctrine, but I don't like it... I'm rather proud of my enthusiasm.

I'm sure it was the first time I was born. I've never seen anything like it.

"This kid... gh!?"

"Ahh, don't move strangely.I'm too weak to be good at it.My hand is stinging with suspicion...! "

This was not a provocation, but a fact.That's right, you can't dress up like the protagonist of the play.

"It was a shame." You've made a mistake.If you were to capture me, you should have done it before the Imperial City.If I had been caught there and tortured... I wouldn't have had the guts to spit out what I just told you.... no, it doesn't matter. Honestly, no one would believe me.Just like you are now. "

Belgrette was so predictable.

"So, let's continue the story."You said that, didn't you? "If you were Lord Mertina, you might be able to conquer the palace on a single ride..."Don't you agree? ”

…………

Whether the opponent's grunting technique was positive or a reaction of being taken to life, Hefnell could not make a decision.So, continue on your own.

"So that's what Lord Mertina said."Lugo has as much power as he has.... in other words, someone with the same power as that Mertina Snow is now attacking the palace.As for you, you can't stay for long, right? "

The man who floated his chin to escape from the cutting edge of the blade, and there was a sign of a wolf inside.

"... hmm, don't say it like other personnel.You're... that's all right, right? "

You ask with a squeezing voice.

"Well, that's honestly complicated.If only a few foreigners let the royal palace fall, it wouldn't be an unprecedented commotion...Even the people will be bulletproof.What was the Badar Noisy soldier doing, pathetic? What is going to happen to this country?If you say it in chaos, it may not be the same as it was in the Civil War. ”

Yes, you're one of the Badar Noisy Guardians.That's why I want you to protect this country. "

"That's the policy of Priest Ohmzorf."If we remain conservative, this country can no longer move forward.That's why we need to change. You might lose a lot of trust or something in the future, but then you start over.Don't borrow the help of suspicious people this time.From the beginning, from the beginning. "

"Don't talk like that... we can't do anything with such a beautiful thing...!"

"I thought so. Aren't we really doing everything we can yet?After all, we formed a faction like this, and we fought like this with the same soldiers. "

Hefner then slowly drew his sword.

"If you think about it, I don't know you guys in detail."Same regular soldier. I haven't heard what people from the monks usually do at all.The same goes for the White Guards... No, it's weird that they call you the same Badarnois soldier in the first place.That's what everyone thinks deep down.But then somehow it became commonplace... and no one even spoke to me.We're not just soldiers. So is everyone who lives in this country.I've been here forever without bridging the gap with the immigrants. ”

…………

"Sure enough, it's a head start as it is."So now is the time. If we all think more... [together] together, if we break our belly and discuss, can't we find a good plan?Lose the faction. Throw away your bad pride.It doesn't matter what country you were born in.Let's talk about it. It was said that Lord Mertina had also spoken.I wanted you to consult with me before I made this decision. "

Often, silence.

"...... Hefner Agston. I'll tell you one thing."

"... what is it?"

"You are sweet, both as a soldier and in your way of thinking."The priest who sat on the top of the country and looked down at everything made this choice.I mean, I didn't. Besides, the way. "

"Really? Isn't that what you're thinking?" That's what that priest Ohmzorf decided, so there's nothing else.If you can't think of him, you can't do anything. 'Why don't you just give up like that?Have you thought about it yourself?Me, too... I've always been like that.So, let's think about it. Everybody

――――

The sighing soldier turned his heel back.As he walked open the door, the cold air blew in.

"What about me? Are you going to leave me alone?"

"How can I not change you in this way?" It's a waste of time. "

Without looking back, the man disappears outside.The door closed naturally, leaving only Hefnell bent over the wall in the carriage.

"...... haa"

Hefnell tried to stand up with a breath.

"... wow"

For some reason, I didn't put any force in my leg and sat down in a collapsed state.When I look at it, I notice that my knees are twitching and laughing.

"Hah, hahaha... pathetic"

If you look at it carefully. Although I left it to my emotions, it was not a strange situation even if I was slaughtered at any time.Now the body that solved the fact is shaking with nervousness and fear.

No wonder. A man like myself, who is nothing but a soldier and a man, pushed his sword like that against the first soldiers.

"Ahh, it hurts so much..."

And now I'm holding my beaten cheek.I cut myself, but of course it didn't hurt... there's no way.

(Haha... I didn't mean to be the Gammy of the other day, but it's impossible for me to imitate you like this...I can't tell you about him.)

For Hefner Agston, it was a dead end.Now my heart is pulsating.

(But... there are people who are trying so hard to compare...)

Only five foreigners raided the Palace of Ice Luminous Palace "Palace Shell On" for the purpose of detaining the current ruler of Badarnois.

It's so out of the ordinary that I haven't really felt it yet.Perhaps Belgrette and Meltina are fooling me into thinking too much.

I don't know how this operation will end.

It's just, I'm sure.

If they make it, Badarnois will go to a future no one has ever imagined.Will the future be bright or not?

(... no, it's not 'it's going to happen'.'Do it.' Ours... with everyone's hands)

I've never noticed anything like this before.

A steward of the law who forgot to split into factions and unite.Indigenous people and immigrants who still have a legacy from the past.

This is a country in a harsh environment for people to live in, so we must all join forces.

(Again, so am I. Lord Emanu will do something about it. I just felt like I remembered one stupid thing.Actually, I just put aside all the troubles...... and don't look at anything that's inconvenient)

I was trying to be favourable, and I was unilaterally responsible.

Everyone is like that, and what works well?

In exchange, what about the Belgrettes now?Each one was born, raised, raised, and has a different background and identity.Together, they are pushing towards one objective.

(I don't know what's going to happen.....)

I had a feeling.

Undoubtedly, this is also a major turning point for Badarnois.

Whether we can survive the transformation depends on us.
