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

--that's a little bit about the future.

It was a day when quite a bit of time had passed since the end of the turmoil called the Permafrost Circulation Chain [Lotusion].

Well then, I'm going out on an afternoon patrol.

"Ohh..."

"What's wrong, Sergeant Hyodoro?"

"No. Somehow... your face has been getting a little tight lately."

"Haha, what's the matter, captain?" You can't do anything about me. "

"Don't you understand, idiot." Come on, get out of here. "

Yes.

The cold has eased somewhat. The end of winter.

As usual, Hefner Agston left the barracks for afternoon rounds.

(...... Is it still sunny today? It should be getting a little warmer from now on.)

Looking up at the blue sky, the regular soldier begins his usual patrol.

…………

That's right. It took me a long time to get back to doing my usual job properly.

- Emmanuel Rube Ohmzorf is dead.

And it came to pass, by the news of her death, that the young man that had faint thoughts of her was certainly heartbroken.

Honestly, I was just prepared. I don't know if she'll be safe from all this fuss.

But still... I'm really shaken up by the fact that I was told that.

Belgrette seemed to blame herself, but of course it wasn't her fault.

It was Ohmzorf himself who chose the path. Hefner was finally able to agree with the words that Mertina uttered.

The saintly lady put Badarnois through evil thoughts. He was a brilliant man. I would have known for a hundred years that a happy end would not come to me. That's the only story that has become reality in such a way... "

Hmm?

From the corner leading to the alley just ahead, I could hear some noise.

"What the hell, let's do this!"

"Shut up or I'll do it!"

Noisy rewards are, however, childish from the point of view of the voice. Is there a struggle?

Six children gathered on the narrow, dimly lit road as they peered at their faces. but it's divided into three people and three people, and they're staggered. It was an air that was about to develop into a three-to-three fight.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Before it all started in earnest, Hefnell broke in as a law-abiding man.

Oh!

"Ah......"

Six gazes gathered at the same time, and both factions reacted in contrast.

The three white-skinned people seemed happy somewhere. The other three who were facing each other seemed to have lost their temper.

(I see, that's what it is.)

Hefner immediately guessed.

The former are the children of Badarnois. I saw my own soldiers coming, and I recognized them as help.

And the latter, the children of Raindill. The arrival of Badarnois's soldiers left him hip-hop.

There are soldiers from both countries stationed in this city, but the design and shape of the equipment are different, so anyone can tell which soldier is which at first glance.

"Listen, soldier, these Raindeal guys are suddenly selling me a fight."

"Damn it! You go first...!"

"All right, all right, anyway, no fighting. We should get along."

As they pulled their arms apart, the children on the Badarnois side frowned disgruntled.

"You're a soldier from Badarnois!" Which side are you on? "

"Either way, you're on the right side." I'm a soldier. There's no Badar Noisy or Raindeal on this. Now, let me tell you more about it. "

"Ugh... what the hell!" Enough! Let's go, you guys! "

Suddenly, the boys in their own country, who seemed to be awkward, ran away in a hurry.

(Oh, my God, you're saying we're on the wrong side.)

I sighed and saw them off behind me, turning to the children of Reindeer.

"Now, be careful."

"...... Ah, thank you"

I didn't expect Badarnois's soldiers to help me. While letting out such hearts and voices on their faces, they also left confusedly.

(...... no way, my children, it's 'this' until now)

It hasn't changed since time immemorial.

Why do people try to oppose each other so incompatiblely?

Badarnois and Raindeal. Omzorf and Snowstorm White Knights. Grachela Duela. Indigenous peoples and immigrants.

(...... I can't. Stay like this)

As of today, there is no new leader for Badarnois. The king's absence has been going on for a while.

There is no one who wants to be.

In other words, your Majesty knows. It's almost impossible for someone to pull this country back and rebuild it. It is also clear from the fact that Ohmzorf resorted to some form of recourse.

I can no longer be proud of myself. You should throw away all the nonsense and confrontation right now.

From now on, we should all come together to face the national tragedy.

If you can't do it on your own, we can all do it.

Continue patrolling to the boulevard.

Sometimes it's just lunchtime, and the stalls along the pavement are lively.

Here, the 7th Avenue of Legnu is located just near the border of the settlements of Badarnois and Raindale, and each guest visits. The barracks are nearby, so I don't think there's much work to be done.

However, in the past, there were times when Badarnois shopkeepers offered only cheap products to their own citizens, and there were times when they did explicit business such as spraying them on Raindale customers. And vice versa.

But now,

"Oh, the size of a raidier, like a vegetable. Haven't you entered yet?"

"Ah... it's going to take a while." How about that? Badarnois' fur is still warm. "

The owners of the stores in both countries have exchanged such exchanges. Nowadays, there are many who make deals cooperatively in search of things that are not one another.

That's true. It is decided that it is better to act without any restriction than to put up a nonsense.

(... I see. If you think about it, the merchants used to do it that way naturally.)

Some came from regions that had nothing to do with both countries and took root. Moreover, it is not uncommon for them to do well as if they had lived there from the beginning.

As the soldiers built walls around them and declined in a cramped world, Ichii's people survived as well as they should. Isn't that the attitude that everyone should take?

Of course, some of them clashed like the other kids, but not all of them.

As I walked down the street looking at the stall, I bumped my shoulder with someone.

”Kiiii”

The opponent who wandered was a girl who seemed to be some years younger. The impact caused the Chinese cabbage to fall from the shopping bag she had lowered from her shoulder.

"Ah, I'm sorry...!"

Hefner apologized in a hurry, rolling onto the cobblestone, bowing and picking it up. Remove the dirt from the epidermis and offer it to her.

Ah, thank you.

The girl bowed her head and took the vegetables....... I thought, "Somewhere, you're looking at me with a bad gaze."

"... can I help you?" Ah. Vegetables, did it scratch you? I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. "

Oh, no.

"Don't hesitate to say it. I'm a soldier, so I'll be honest with you...!"

With enthusiasm, the girl slightly looked down.

"Oh, no. It's okay.... I'm not a pure-blooded Badarnois."

With that little monologue, I was convinced by the wicked gaze I had just seen.

She said she wasn't a 'pure-blooded' Badarnois. If you think about being in this Halschwald, it's probably a hybrid with the Reindeer.

It was the case in all lands, but children born among such foreigners tended to be vulnerable to discrimination and persecution.

But...

“Don't worry about that. It doesn't matter what the differences are between countries. It is true that I dropped the vegetables, whoever I was dealing with. I'll deal with it equally. Let's buy it again! Of course, I'll give you the money!"

"Eh, eh...?"

Everything is a stack. First of all, we'll build it up little by little from this kind of place.

There are limited things I can do for my weak self.

But it was entrusted to me.

Badar Noisy for the amazing people. I risked my life for someone I admired... and tried to protect the future of this country from evil.

Is there anything I can do for that?

With a mediocre head, Hefner thought desperately.

As a result of my thinking, the answers derived were still mediocre.

Together, we will overcome.

On that day of turmoil, I was so impressed with the Omsolvian soldiers. Again, that's all Hefner could think of.

Because that's what it is. Even that saintly woman couldn't do it. Then we'll have to do it all by ourselves. Some people I've never known well before. Some were even hostile.

We can all be friends, and we can all work together.

I don't care. No factions, no identity, no race.

We'll get through this. Together, we'll get through this.

For this reason, Hefnell decided to aim for a soldier first. It's a bridge between someone and someone that no one else can stop talking to.

Target such a dependable being.

"Chinese cabbage, where did you buy it from?" Actually, I know a very good store. It is a small store on the other street, but good products are available cheaply. It's just a secret, but I told the shopkeeper that my hair is more frizzy than usual. Then you'll feel better, and you'll mope...! "In fact, you're bald, so it might be hard to say!"

"... fufufu"

"What? What?"

"No. 'What's the difference between countries?'"



Not quite sure what the girl wanted to say, Hefnell scratched his head. Then she gave a smile that seemed to shine.

“It was months ago, and someone told me the same thing. He looked a little scared, but he was the one who helped me in the city. Even when I knew I was born, I said, 'What do you mean, because the country is different?' Just like the soldiers nowadays, tell me."

"I see... is that so?"... yeah, that's good! "

Oh, and Hefner was impressed.

If the number of such people increases, the consciousness of the world will surely change.

Nevertheless, after saving the girl, she made the statement. You must be a wonderful, righteous man.

"Well, but... somehow it was later and that person was arranged." That's seven hundred escalations.... "

"Ehhh..."

The exuberant mood fell suddenly.

Although a soldier, Hefnell doesn't know all the details of the protocol.

Is it monetary, eating-away or something? It was a shame that I thought it was so reassuring that a group of people who had made up their minds came forward.

However, the girl hurriedly supplements.

"But since I was a really good person, I think it was some kind of mistake." I don't see the arrangement anymore. No, I was scared of what I looked like, and I looked like a bad person. Also, for some reason, the smell of raw garbage..... "

Haha. Bailiffs aren't perfect, so we can arrange for mistakes.

On the contrary, the country has only deliberately created and pursued innocent sinners. It must never happen again.

"I understand. I also got involved with some unusual people a while ago... but some of them looked like rusty bad guys, but they were actually nice young people..."

Walking towards the stall, chatting.

As a single soldier, Hefner Agston was limited in what he could do.

It wasn't strong enough to overwhelm the crowd, nor did it have the wisdom to see through everything.

Still, we walk straight ahead.

Solid, step by step, sure. As one who creates a bright future.
