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

Probably the first time since I came to Badarnois.

It was a dazzling sunny day. The grace of Inverenus, the day god who shines in the blue sky, descends on the ground, making you feel the unexpected warmth of midwinter.

The place is a carriage house located in the central district of the Imperial City of Istenrich.

When I turned my gaze slightly to the side, I could confirm that the control tower of the snowy waterway was towering over a small hill. Up close, Badarnois's wisdom is just a stone tower. On such a sunny day, there is no place to go, and the figure seems to be standing in the middle of nowhere.

In such an exchange, a few people walked around the neighborhood, and they all met.

You guys really took care of me.

I came to see you off in my usual pure white dress, the hero of the North, "Penta" Mertina Snow. The bandages wrapped around my body are somewhat painful.

Next to her, Lenore leaned in to support her.

Although it was a familiar expression, the atmosphere had disappeared. The sleepy, calm expression I saw at the academy.

"No, in the first place, we just brought Lenore back..."

It was the first time that I replied that I was protecting people while looking at them.

I feel like if I open my mouth in the last few days, I will keep repeating such questions.

"I don't care what your motives are." As a result, it's true that we were helped- "

The case thus came to an end.

Few people correctly know the full extent of the national-scale turmoil that erupted after various thoughts were intertwined.

But even the civilians outside the mosquito net would have been enough to feel it.

A former court chanting sorcerer (Mage) girl who has been designated as the highest prize money ever. The powerful enemies who suddenly appeared in the Northern Region. The remnants of the massive catches that occurred in the Imperial Capital and were recognized as sinners immediately afterwards. After that, a ban on entry and exit was issued without a second's notice. The blockade of the Great White Valley due to an unprecedented avalanche. A counterfeit of a battle-scarred general, posted overnight throughout the Imperial City.

And finally--- the snowfall at the Palace of Ice and Light [Palais Sheron] killed the national leader, Ohmzorf.

This negative chain can only be seen as cursed from the sidelines. This disturbance, caused by the queen, who was famous for her cleanliness, came to be called this way by no one.

[Frozen Ice Patrol Chain [Lotusion]].

[The Embrace of Annihilation (Gruzambles)] and the third challenge following the civil strife.

(Apart from thinking about the trials of the Curelene......, the people of this country are on their own......)

The main part is simple and straightforward.

Orkestar, who wanted Mertina's organs, scratched all over Badarnois, provoking Ohmzorf. That's all I'm talking about.

For a moment, he left, but the future of Badarnois is not bright in flattery.

The turmoil has subsided, and in the first place the underlying problem - that of Badarnois's survival as a nation - has not been solved.

As a result of this incident, all Omsolvian soldiers have been temporarily detained.

Most of them are former monks from the Order, but they also include General Bendism and his men...... Gameeha and others, who were originally neutral but coordinated.

Although their percentage is only a fraction of that of all soldiers, it is difficult to imitate them all.

It is impossible to do it secretly from that number, and it is inevitable that it will disturb the public. Furthermore, simply executing it will require enormous personnel and time. In addition, if they disappear, their strength will be reduced to a size that cannot be ignored.

For the record, those who were neutral even if they were hostile to the displaced - that is, those who were not informed of anything - are, of course, not in question. They only tried to do their duty according to the king's command, so there was no disagreement there, even as a protector.

If we were to bring them to justice in the first place, about a third of the Badar Nois would disappear. It was an incident that involved so many people.

"...... I wonder how this happened. Everyone was aiming for the same thing."

That's exactly what Mertina said.

Sure enough, the Omzorf faction pushed Lenore and his protesters innocently. However, the goal underlying it was the rebirth of Badarnois. They were supposed to have ideals that were no different from those of Mertina and the Snowstorm White Knights [Grachella Duela].

So now they, the Ohmsolves and the Bendism generals, are being held in the Western fortress in the name of training and training.

Svorun met with them in person and decided on his future course of action.

"Well, that would be an unusual measure for the soldiers who coordinated with Ohmzorf." If you don't imitate that kind of thing and turn it into a rope, you'll think my past is so clean and innocent. "

Larutz, who has a background as a former bandit, puffs up cigarette smoke and looks at the sky to the west.

"I see! If your past is Siren Keppak, there will be no evil people in the world!" Come on! Don't hit me, big brother! "

Gadogado's brother, who had received Pokari and his fist bones because of an unnecessary word, had tears on his head.

"I'm sure you're not comfortable with us dressed in innocent clothes... but I think you know the status quo of Badarnois."

A complicated face with a sharp, fat, short-haired label looks up at the clear sky.

"I see... this time, for example, if Sabelle hadn't woken up for a long time... but if she could have saved herself by sacrificing someone else... I might have thought of something I wouldn't be able to do."

Julie, weakly murmured, leaned anxiously against his arm.

Ke, I'm not convinced.

It was Edvin who was frustrated and crushed the snow beneath his feet on the metal net of the snowy waterway.

"Anyway, we Yoso are the ones that even the former court sorcerer (Mage) of your kingdom will be exposed to." It's decided to let it go again. "

Lenore, realizing that his anger was about him, opened his eyes slightly through the glasses.

"... Edvin"

"Ah!? What, I'm not talking about sheltering you. Don't get me wrong."

"... thanks"

"Ah!? That's why it's different...!"

Smiling at Edvin, who was acting like a suicide bombing trade fair, the defender looks at Belgrette beside him.

The girl knight dropped her gaze with an indifferent expression.

(Belle....)

- After Kinzor and Mercosur left.

I didn't know about the unconscious runaways and sappers, but the crew of the [Snowstorm White Knights] [Grachella Duela] came before the crew of the full-bodied crew.

They're supposed to be isolated in the north, not in the palace.

Without paying attention to Edvin and Julie, who were unwittingly in positions, they reportedly told him administratively.

'We have no intention of competing with you. I've heard about the current situation. "

And as I left, as I remembered.

"I'll let you know just in case." I confirmed the death of the priest Ohmzorf. "

There is no doubt that Belgrette, who wanted to "stop" the saint, ended up carelessly.

"Nevertheless, that Svorun is passionate with the Omsolfs, right?" Are you all right? "

I answered Edvin with a bitter face.

It's okay, isn't it?

Nothing else, it was a wanderlust.

Svorun Sia Grosswitz.

Lenore's half-brother, a typical arrogant noble knight, is the head of the "White Knights of the Snowstorm" "Grachella Duella". A man who suddenly came to Midir Academy and behaved unfaithfully. Even now, in the midst of protection, my disgust with the deeds has not changed.

However, there was the impression that it had changed slightly.

After this incident, I had several opportunities to see Svorun running around the palace for post-processing. It is the first time that I have handled the work without exhaustion while watching it from the sidelines.

Even though it was isolated on the north side of the country by Omzorf's schemes, it went south with a sense of discomfort. Excavate the "White Great Valley" that was blocked by artificial avalanches. Three days and three nights were passed through, and an impromptu tunnel was made.

He entered the Imperial Capital without sleep, and while entrusting the subordinate with the suppression of the disturbance caused by General Bendisum's arrangements in the city, he went to the Palace of Ice Radiance [Palace Shell On].

Find out what's going on and lead the soldiers.

... but we weren't one step closer to stopping Ohmsolf's death.

Without this swift action by Svorun, however, the Corpsman might have missed Omzolf.

”... that guy......”

It was the other day when I was waiting for Belgrette and looking at the lobby from the second floor of the blowout with Lenore.

I saw Svorun leaning over to lend a shoulder to an old nobleman who was leaving the palace.

”... why can't you just be the one who cares?”

A casual blur. Lenore, who was looking at the first floor the same way next to her, strangely leaned his head.

Even though she had been silent for so long, the protégé who had somehow been holding on to Moyamoya was somewhat lost, but she told her about the event in an unexpected manner.

{...... No, that bastard. When I came to the academy, I... tried to kill Mia. ”

That's why we developed into fighting the Svoruns in the first place. I can never forgive you on that one point alone.

Listening to the bitter monologue of protection, Lenore opened her eyes in surprise.

With the usual expression, she slightly shook her head to the side.

”... I don't think so.”

{No... but in fact, he pointed an ice spear at Mia. Then, I'll break it and come in and stop it..... "

Even though I am a half-brother, can you not believe that my brother did such a thing? Immediately after thinking so, Lenore confronted the current and suddenly dampened her throat.

Lenore??

What are you trying to do? faster than asking it,

Gabi, you'll have to pay properly later.

With a strange frown and a voice full of acting, Lenore suddenly uttered such a line and quickly poked her right hand. I looked up, and I was in front of the defector's face.

...... Les, Lenore-san?

Staring at her white, thin fingertips, which had been stopped in front of her, the emigrant called her by her name.

What happened suddenly? Ah. No way, it's an imitation of Svorun.

{...... wasn't it like this?... at that time. "

Also, tilt your neck slightly. Lenore, returning to her usual expressionless expression, asked like that.

{............ no, I'm sure.}

If you look back, you're right. Svorun, who had put a price on Mia, briefly ordered Gebi to stick out his spear. I broke it into pieces and stopped it.

”...... I was also a child once.”

Eh!?

Against the astonishing protection, Lenore seemed somewhat nostalgic.

{...... I'm not a person who loves children well.... when I try to scold and distract them, I do so. "

Use your spear to scratch it.

When reprimanded, it was sometimes thrown like that. Lenore was convinced he was going to do the same for Mia. The amount offered is not the price of life, but the price of the heinous act.

"...... I don't like that person.... we don't get along.... personality is also difficult, high-pressure.... but I'm sure it's not the kind of person who tramples on civilians and children.”

…………

When I questioned Svorun's sincerity, I would not speak the truth honestly.

By the way, I asked Meltina about this, and she said, "Svorun would be. Because it is clumsy."

As for the emotions of the defender, that man is not nice. There is no doubt that the sled definitely doesn't fit the personality.

But anyway--if it wasn't harmful to Mia, that's fine.... I mean, Belgrette and Lenore were looking at me a little flat.

At the very least, there was no doubt that he was an extremely competent person, as far as he was concerned, when he was on the run to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

By the way, just yesterday, I ran into Svorun in the hallway of the palace. There was no particular conversation, even as we exchanged gazes. The moment I thought I was going to pass by silently,

... I don't have a hobby to owe you. I'll pay you back one day.

With an impertinent look that is no different from the first time we met. The White Knight Commander just said so.

"There's no problem over there." I'll leave it to Svorun. "

Meltina muttered to no one as she opened her eyes to the western sky.

I don't know about the future of the Badarnois soldiers... but let's see what they can do about it.

A serious wrinkle hangs between Larutz's eyebrows as he spits out cigarette smoke.

"...... Orkestar......"

In the name of it, Emperor Liu made words to bite.

"I wonder why they quit..."

The cause of this incident was the withdrawal of the curtain.

A mobile phone-like device that Kinzor suddenly responds to during engagements. After that conversation, they chose to retreat without hesitation.

At the same time, Mutti was in a fight with Mertina.

Even though it should have been the purpose of Orkestar to take the organs of [Penta], I gave up lightly while keeping it in front of me.

In response to that conversation, Belgrette finally opens her mouth.

"...... 'Kahine has disappeared', right?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I said."

Kinzor and Mercosia didn't leave anything to clue, but Mutti didn't miss a word of it.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Larutz, who knows a lot about the organization, unfortunately shakes his head.

"I don't know if it's a person's name or some kind of object's name..." Anyway, there's definitely something important for Orkestar. "

Sabel is right.

I don't know what that is, but I'm sure it's a vital part of Orkestar's existence. While keeping in front of Mertina, which was supposed to be the target from the beginning, as soon as it was reported as "disappeared", it was pulled lightly like a wave that was returned.

(From the timing, there is no doubt that the contact received by Kinsor is the same. Even if it's like that mobile phone, their technology is still at this world level....)

If it's a communications machine, it's exactly what Raindill was trying to make. I finally got the power of the [Pruna] crystal, which I brought back from the original bamboo.

It is not clear why they used such a tool on purpose, which should have been a means of communication, but it is simply to communicate with each other in a distance that cannot be reached by the Oracle. In addition, is there an intention to avoid interception by a third party?

And there are other things that bother me.

”I wonder, how did Kinzor get out of this country?”

Badarnois was in the middle of an exit ban.

With regard to Mutti, it has been reported that he left the eastern border gate in a dignified manner. Fix up a plausible reason for receiving a special order from Ohmsorf. At this time, it is said that the big man with the figure was accompanied by an escort.

Regardless of Mutti's status as a "special counselor", Kinzor is also a prize head in Badarnois. There is no way to leave the country properly, and in spite of that, no witness testimony has been obtained at the border.

"There is also a possibility that they are still lurking in Japan..." But I don't think Kinzor is still in Badarnois after receiving the same communication from Mutti. "

Meltina's guess was that she agreed to the exile. We deliberately abandoned the battle and withdrew. I don't know how you tricked the border guards, but I'm not optimistic that they won't be around anymore.

"But are you sure you're okay?" They may have escaped once, but... will they attack me again, Mertina? "

It seems that Julie, who is close to her age, has broken it down, and she looks at the heroes of the north in [Chan Yan Yan].

“Don't worry, I don't think they want to mess with everything, but they're going to set it up again in such a widely recognized situation. That Mutti also left scattered discard dialogues like" You picked up my life "or" I've used it up. "Unfortunately, it looks like I've been fluffed. Of course, that's why I'm not going to be alarmed."

Although there were still many mysteries, Orkestar left a lot of information this time.

At the very least, it would have been unexpected to them if they had managed to retreat without being able to defeat the displaced and Mertina.

While Orkestar's remaining clues are shared as information, they won't be able to set us up again in the same way.

(That said, there was no information that seemed to be information.)

If it were true, we would have been able to interrogate Monetra and Aldomirar, but they are both dead.

Particularly for the former, Belgrette and the others were going to capture Septius at a later stage in an attempt to stop him from falling, but they were either unlucky or they were bowled over by a returning Gebi.

By the way, Mono-Tra owned the same radio that Kinzor used. As you can see, it looks like a cell phone or transceiver, but it was cracked and damaged by the impact of the fall.

Nevertheless, it must be valuable evidence. As a Badar Noisy, it was an unnecessary thing, and the protesters were able to accept it. If we analyze this, we may be able to get close to Orkestar's secrets. The practical application of communication equipment should also become a reality at once.

In addition to that,

"Oh no, an iron pillar standing at the border or something like that in Halschwald?" What's the matter with you? Did you use the sealing needle [Fujitsu]? "

A mysterious object that was put in place for a long time immediately after the protesters fell into the pursuit.

According to General Bendism's testimony, it is a device capable of artificially interrupting communications.

This prevented Badarnois from receiving communications from abroad or vice versa.

"Yeah. I'm trying to parse it, but honestly, it's just an iron pillar." It seems that the Bendism Generals have not been informed of the details... it is one of the most valuable clues, so we will continue to investigate in the future. "

"Really... you have unbelievable technology as a matter of course. Orkestar."

Sabelle, who had heard Mertina's words, shrugged her shoulders in surrender.

Speaking of information, there is one clue that cannot be ignored.

(Sure... it was Garald Waltzman)

The man who revealed his real name during the battle with Meltina. I guess the adrenaline came out. Well, I don't know how the melee fighter feels about it.

Mutti's departure was accompanied by an escorted man who, according to Meltina, was no doubt about it.

As a result of sharing, it was said that no one knew the name, but only Greyfoot frowned faintly. That said, it seemed like it was something I had never heard of.

Speaking of the Greerfoot, it was impossible to stop Svorun from fighting Migasintia. She said, "I was lucky to be stopped, sadly." I am not here right now because I have suffered considerable injuries and I am healing at the palace. It seems that it is still not decided what to do in the future. For this reason, I am finishing my parting first.

"Oh, you're here." It's the one I called. "

Larutz narrows his eyes across the stretch of pavement. A horse-drawn carriage was approaching as he followed his gaze.

"Come on, let's go."

I've been waiting, and my gaze meets that of him who turns his shoulder. Larutz and Gado Gado are scheduled to travel to the eastern mountainous areas in the future. This is where we say goodbye.

"...... Rugo, let me say it with an old woman's heart......"

Just say it for a moment and be reluctant.

"The Orkestar... it's so dangerous." I think I found out by staining myself. "

"...... errrr"

"I'm not doing anything serious, but I'm going to repay my debt in this case." Honestly, I don't want to get involved with them anymore. I'm sorry about crossing the bridge. "

"Oh, I think that's good." Be well. "

"...... Damn, it's as plain as ever."

I also understand the ritual of wandering in the company of others. She worried about Larutz, even if her mouth was bad. That's what the boy tells him.

"I also understand that I am still lacking in strength." It's going to get stronger. It's going to make them fly. "

He shook his head as if he had thought of it, swearing by his fist.

"The premise is to fight everywhere..."... well, good luck at best. Don't fuck with me. "

"Lugo's brother... I believe in you!" I don't want anyone stronger than you! You'll crush them someday! "

Edvin nodded to the words of the mighty gado-gado.

"You agree with fat fat fat." If you play directly in front of Aliumi in a perfect state, you won't lose. "

"So who's a fat fat man!" You bastard! "

Huh? Can't you do that?

By the way, Edvin and Gado Gado have been like this ever since they got to know each other.

"Hey, don't be stupid. Let's go." Bye, guys. "

They exchanged greetings and saw off the carriage that Larutz and Gadogado had boarded.

Soon another bigger vehicle will arrive, immersed in the aftertaste.

"Oops. Now it's our turn."

Ah, you're here.

Sabel and Julie were the ones to say a few things.

They'll be heading east, just like the Larutts. However, the destination is different, and it takes nearly a month to travel from here one way to the Eastern country, the Patriarchate of Kadankatia.

"...... Thank you for your help. Sabel-san, Julie-san"

Belgrette bowed her head politely, as if she had a heart of her own.

I met him a month and a half earlier in a mountain village in the northern part of Raindale. I got along with them for a long time. The time has finally come for both of these treasure hunters to break up.

Nah, we've had an experience like never before.

"That's right ~. If you find yourself chasing a girl with a mysterious bounty neck in that tavern, you'll be arranged the other way around and finally sell her to your country..." Fufufu, I don't think I'll ever be able to stand around like this again. "

Martina gazes at the young man next to her with a bitter smile.

"Sabel-kun, just be careful." You were one of their targets. "

Taking advice from her, who was their [main target], the man with the rare purple flame shrugged his shoulders.

"Maa, that's all right." There was something to abandon you for the original purpose. They won't have time for a pellet like me. It's not the first time I've been targeted, and I'm good at running. I'll disguise myself in the city for a while and be quiet. "

After stepping on the ascending steps and getting into the carriage, Sabel looked back again.

"Bye, guys." Guru! "

He was followed by Julie, who had long blonde hair.

"Well then, everyone, be well!" See you soon! "

Then the two treasure hunters set off with their carriages on board.

Wave and watch the vehicle drift away. A gust of wind blew off the spot.

"...... it's quiet all at once."

"Hmm. I'm a little lonely."

If there is an encounter, there is a parting. This feeling that I once had in the Reffe Witchcraft Godland became indescribable sadness and pricked my chest.

They traveled in haste, and now they're here with the Diaspora and Belgrette, Edvin, Mertina, and Lenore. If the number of people is halved, is that unavoidable?

Last but not least, a southbound carriage will be arriving with the colonists.

"Well... then, I'll be heading to Midir College soon to learn about Ren"

Meltina rests her hand on the shoulder of the quiet squire next to her.

The original problem around Lenore was solved, and for the time being the objectives of the colonists were achieved. That said, I can't take you home right now. We have finished processing the rustle and decided in the form of a decision to be made at a later date.

"...... I've really... disturbed you."

Small and polite, Pecori and Lenore bow. He is the one who laughs with his nose.

"Say something stupid. You're not bad at all." It's a side that got caught up one way or the other. Don't worry about the boring stuff. "

"... yes..."

"Ah, I always think you can slap one of my hatreds, but you're going crazy...!"

It is really interesting to say something to Lenore just now, such as Edvin, who has turned red on his own.

"... but I'm glad. Really."

As impressed as I am, Belgrette gets a little confused with her words.

After all, there was a twist and turn. For a moment, I was desperate, and I almost gave up.

"...... Belle......"

I'll be waiting for you when I get home.

"... yes..."

"I've been late for class for two months." I'm getting close to advanced, so I'm going to study with you. Oh, and of course Edvin, too? "

"Gee, me too!?"

"Of course, why are you worried about other personnel!" Now, I'm going to be busy. Be prepared, Lenore. "

"...... Yeah...!"

The white hero narrowed his eyes to those college students.

"...... Hmph. Looks like I didn't go crazy when I recommended Midir Academy to Ren."

That's right, Lenore, it's going to be so much fun at the academy.

Lenore shrank a little shyly as the Protector deliberately agreed.

Well then, please continue to take care of our Ren in the future.

It was a pleasant greeting from Meltina, but there Belgrette stiffened a bit. Leave it for a little while,

"... yes, yes, I'll take care of it." Well... our Lenore is an honorary student, so don't worry about it. "

……

……

Why?

There was a strange silence between Mertina and Belgrette.

Yeah. That's right, don't worry about my Ren.

"Yes, my Lenore is fine...!"

……

……

A mysterious nervousness fills up.

"... yes. No matter how much Belgrette is dealing with you, let me be clear here." Ren is' my '. It's just a temporary deposit. "

"Oh, that's what you said!" Lenore is an indispensable part of [our] class...! "

And the mysterious battle of ownership claims.

"It's starting to get mixed up, Mr. Lenore." So, which one is it? "

"Hmph, both of you!"... it's embarrassing...! "

At that time, Lenore broke in like she ate a bubble. It may be the first time she has seen so much emotion.

While enjoying such a smiling sight, a large carriage eventually arrived.

"Whoa. You're here."

Meltina's expression returned to seriousness as she seemed remorseless.

"Now, let's continue our investigation into Orkestar." I'll send you a message if I find out anything. "

“Yes, thank you.”

The white "Penta" and the girl knight exchanged serious exchanges, but they were not much different because of the composition of each of them pulling Lenore's arms together.
