"Hah, ahhh..."

The feeling of discomfort was only getting stronger.

Ohmzorf reached the first floor of the palace with his breathlessness and checked his surroundings again.

I don't see any soldiers. The vibrations that could be heard from time to time while in such a situation became stronger here. Gradually, the underfoot and walls sway slightly, and a jerky shock is transmitted.

”Hah, hah”

We need to get out of here.

It is not the case that you are stuck in a place like this. This is not the case.

... yes, we have to rebuild Badarnois.

(This way... no, I wonder if it was this way)

Since I became a leader and moved, I rarely left the third floor where I had my own room.

Especially on the first floor, there is a lot of interesting things like the road that only passes when going out on official business. Even if you understand what is there as knowledge, when you actually pass it, you will be different on your own.

(......, Fu)

I wonder what a leader is.

I didn't even understand the structure of the castle where I was.

She clasped her hand against the wall and walked down a dark, labyrinthine corridor, turning the corner.

――――――

There, Ohmzorf stiffened.

Steady on your feet. A group of soldiers in formation, heading our way in a regular fashion. In terms of the number of people, there will be no fewer than a few dozen.

At the beginning of it,

"This is... this looks like a lot of haste, Priest Ohmsolf"

Frozen beauty.

A tall knight with gorgeous white armor and a waking blue coat. I can't believe it. The chilled atmosphere and styling of the man--

"...... Svorun...... why are you here......"

The [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela] must have been quarantined on the north side of the country. "I can't be here right now..."

Fatigue and impatience overlap, do you even see it in illusion? In this way, thoughts try to escape from reality.



Keep an eye on him and finally notice him. The faces of the soldiers lining up behind Svorun were scattered.

A former member of the so-called Ohmsorf sect. Comrades who were subordinates and moved in favor of this [transformation]. One of them had an eye on the other. The middle-aged soldier, who had been dating for a long time since the time of the cult, shook his head to the side with a bitter face.

"I've heard the story from [them], Priest Ohmzorf."

Svorun sums it up in a nutshell.

He must have approached.

Give the Omsolvian soldiers an explanation of this confused status quo and surrender. The White Knights of the Snowstorm [Grachella Duela] are unlikely to be able to resist them by force. Not to mention the current situation in which the forces were drastically curtailed by the protection of the sea currents. All of them were forced to go down to the gate.

Svorun was leading and assembling the soldiers in the palace, so he never encountered them before.

"... I wonder what it is, Priest Ohmzorf." It seems like I didn't understand you. I didn't think it would cause such an imitation. "

Unusual for Svorun, it sounded like he was losing his mind.

"And --- you didn't understand me at all, either. I was going to seal Svorun's legs with that degree."



"But if I think about it, I don't know how to do it." You're not the only one. No one will ever know my bottom. Either way, even this me. I didn't have the opportunity to use that much power during the civil war or in my daily work. "

"... you... have been strong enough to manage that kind of avalanche in this short period of time."

"Fortunately, my Brionek is oriented to penetrate all directions. Whether the target is a person, a resentment devil, or a frozen rocky snow mass... there's no problem."

……

"As a result of such diligent" digging ", an impromptu ice cave was opened in three days and three nights." The stranded merchants were delighted. And when I finally got to the south, for some reason I was laughed at when General Bendithm was arranged. ”

That was my first look.

"... it must have been made to be."

Every day, Svorun was cold as sharp ice. Such an exhausting strain floated on his face... that infiltrated his regrets.

"We, who represent the country, are as indifferent to each other as if we didn't understand each other. The subordinates also built walls as if they had followed suit...... With such a pair of feet, things couldn't have been better......"

Gently, my feet trembled faintly.

At the same time, a ripple of communication spread through Svorun's ears.

"It's me."

Reever, this is Unit 3! The source of the vibration has been discovered! Sir Miga Singhtia is at war in the first floor central courtyard! The aftermath of the battle caused the ground to shake...! Uaaa, I can't get very close to you...! ”

"Who are you dealing with?"

"Until I know who that is..." It looks like a young man in a white dress...... this is another terrifying user...... "

"Griffinia."

Svorun's eyes narrowed slightly as Ohmsolf spoke of the name.

"...... Cheng Cheng. Did you come back......"

Master Svorun? Give me instructions...!

"Good. It's enough to know the cause." Leave me alone. "

But that's it!

"Whichever way, you guys can't stop it." Let them do whatever they want. "

Without waiting for a reply, Svorun dispersed the ripples of communication.

It looks like this.

Kuku and the rigorous youth shake their shoulders unusually self-mockingly.

"The aristocrat who should be the norm of the people, if he thinks that he has given priority to his pleasure above all else and dazzled his whereabouts on his own, will come back or just serve as a leader blindly..." You can't blame the ancestor like this. "

Svorun shook his head,

"First of all, we have to deal with this situation." I'll take care of it, Priest Ohmzorf. "

In accordance with the proclamation, the holy lady released the magic that had been finished.

"Hmph...!"

A giant block of ice is placed in the middle of the passage, separating the two. In an instant, the confronted Svorun and his army disappeared from sight.

"Hah, hah...!"

- We can't just get caught here.

Immediately returning to his heels, Ohmzorf resumed his escape in search of an exit.

Suddenly, the white ice covered with boulders rolling on the snowy mountain stood in front of me.

When I punched the surface of the hallway with my fist, it was incredibly hard and cold.

Even though he didn't show it in his expression, Svorun was amazed in his heart.

(... yay, something like this...)

It was an impossible substitute to create with an ordinary person. That is the art that cannot be achieved without "Venta".

No matter how good the Yodo [Mage] is, Ohmzoru could not possess this power.

... anyway, right now, there's more to do than be surprised.

"You guys go around from left to right."

Hah, hah!

The captain who gave the orders to the soldiers lined up stood in front of the ice.

……

Cold, hard walls that isolate both sides.

To stand in front of you is exactly what we have become.

Together, we were supposed to strive for the same future - the peace of Badarnois - but the confrontation never ceased.

Omzorf proposed new policies and reforms in a misguided manner, and Svorun bounced them off, saying that he should first consolidate his foothold.

I didn't mean to wear it all the time. I felt I needed to build a solid foundation in order to bring back Badarnois, who was even leaning. Exactly in the winter of this country, if you don't tread firmly on your feet, everything could fall apart.

On the other hand, she did not think so and hated stagnation. as if driven by something.

The days when the gears did not mesh became normal, and the subordinates naturally split into factions as if they followed suit.

This time, it was attached to a foreign object.

……

The moment I saw the Arrangement in the city of Carrigal, Svorun felt an unprecedented rage.

Not against Ohmzorf, who hit her with no prior report, but against himself, who had cornered her so much.

(...... it can't be a laughingstock)

Until that point, I didn't notice Ohmzorf's movements.

I stayed outside the mosquito net until that moment, as the darkness never existed. Of course, it was because Ohmzorf wielded wisdom and worked in that way, and it was also because she felt slight discomfort in her behavior that she was exposed.

But one step differently, he might still have known nothing.

I suspected my sister even though I was hungry while being carried like an idiot.

(...... Will you regret it later?)

Looking up. The Badarnois Empire - thus, the ice barrier that symbolizes the present. The cold walls separating the two sides.

(Brionek... but not in a single blow.)

Svorun inhaled and began chanting quietly.

First, to break down the wall in front of us.
