Hakai no Miko

Episode 100 Modulation

Soma-sama, are you listening to me?

Azure horses returned to me with a half-a-dazzling voice of concern, unusual for Eladia, who was always calm.

It is the office of the pale horse in the royal castle of Holmenia, the kingdom of Erdoğan.

In the visitor's chair opposite the desk where the pale horse sat, a Zoan woman wearing a white jacket with a white horizontal cloth wrapped around her waist and a headscarf covered with a cloth covering her mouth - Wai Zanuka Shunupa, a [Eye of the Clan] shrine maiden from one of the five Zoan clans living in the Sorbian Plain, had a small neck and attached one hand to her cheek in a troubled manner.

Azure horses apologize in a hurry.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Today, Zoan's opinion was also heard in order to deal with the return of the [Clan of the Tail] and the departure of the [Clan of the Eagle] from the Sorbian Plain. For that reason, even though Shunupa, the sister of the [Eye of the Clan] witch's head, had me go out of my way from the plain to the royal capital, I didn't hear the story, but it was extremely rude.

Eladia complained to the azure horse who apologized in a blush manner.

Soma-sama, please stop. As I have said many times, if the king apologizes cheaply, the authority will be diminished. We know that Soma-sama doesn't care about such things, but please also understand that it is the king's responsibility to maintain his dignity and authority. "

Then Eladia bowed her head to Shunupa.

Shunupa-sama, I apologize on behalf of my king.

“Don't worry, I don't give a shit.”

Shunupa showed indulgence toward the rudeness of the pale horse.

"As for Miko, I'm asking too." It was only natural that the king of the tribe should be worried. Rather, I'm glad you got a good umbilical cord. "

Azure horses, whose relationship with Siemul was mentioned, had a complicated expression that looked like they were in trouble.

Eladia smiled and thanked Shunupa for her forgiveness, but she let out a great sigh in her chest.

The reason for this is the modulation of the pale horse.

Since Seymour's arrival in the plains, Azure Horses have clearly lacked precision.

Until now, even trivial cases like the one that was decided instantly are unreasonable. Words lack the confidence to give any instructions. Then, after a short time in government, we decided to stare at the western sky with the Sorbian Plains.

It seems that your Majesty has gone halfway to the Sorbian Plains.

That Eladia is spilling it, so you can see the degree of modulation that Azure Horse came to you.

However, Eladia soon learned that it was still mild.

Siemul is assassinated by humans posing as evacuees.

When the news came in, I said that it looked like a pale horse.

The pale horse, unaware that he had dropped the pen in his hand, turned pale and opened his eyes to the limit, and for a while he could not even raise his voice and hardened. Then, while putting on the expression of fear, he only moved his eyes and groaned to see what was happening around him, as if he was surrounded by enemies trying to kill him.

How would you like to do it, Soma?

Eladia couldn't help but cry out to the pale horse to get herself back.

However, Eladia's reaction to it was unexpected.

Azure horses shuddered and slightly pulled back, as if Eladia had attacked them.

As expected, Eladia was also greatly injured.

When Eladia asked again without revealing it, the pale horse finally answered with a trembling voice.

"I have to go help Siemul." All forces must be summoned! I'll lead you to the plains! "

Falsehood is a good thing.

In the first place, Siemul went to the Sorbian Plains as a substitute because Azure horses could not leave the capital. Even so, the pale horse was so confused that it fell out of its head.

At that time, Eladia and other subordinates were able to calm the pale horse, persuade it, and somehow hold it back.

However, after that, the pale horse persisted in asking if there was an emergency report from the plain for half the time, and rushed to the window to ask if it was Harpuane's urgent envoy if it heard the birds' wings. When Zoan's message arrived, it continued to expose the ugliness of pushing away Eladia and the others to listen.

Eladia had long been jealous of the pale horse's dependence on Siemul and remembered her modest desperation. Therefore, I thought that this time to send the king to the plains would be an opportunity to leave the king if it was careless but good.

But here's the result.

As expected, Eladia was forced to hold her head.

Shemul had already been contacted to return quickly from the plains, but it was undoubtedly Eladia who wanted to return to Shemul as soon as possible, except for the Azure Horse, in the royal capital of Hormonia.

After that, she managed to hear the opinions from Shunupa, and she finished arranging for him to stay in a room in the royal palace that day. Eladia called out to the blue horse who was staring at the western sky from the window with a wandering expression.

Soma-sama, isn't it better to cancel this evening's feast?

In the kingdom of El Dor, there were regular banquets to deepen rapport with the king's king.

The beginning was, "After all, it's a drinking party to deepen the rapport between your boss and your subordinates! It is the word of a pale horse." It seems to be a custom in my hometown, but it seems that Aohora has a belief that he can deepen his friendship at a sake banquet. Even though he could hardly drink on his own, there was a bad habit in the pale horse that wanted to have a feast.

And, fortunately, this banquet was well received.

Anyway, Marco is in charge of the dishes to be cooked at this feast. It goes without saying that Marco's delicious cuisine, which is unusual for politicians in this era, is the only meal that Azuma Awaba is committed to against his own desires.

If it is an opportunity to taste the gastronomy that can normally only be tasted by the king, Azure Horse, it will be convinced that it is also well received by the people of the former Holmea country.

It may be unnecessary to cancel such a popular banquet on the same day.

However, looking at the pale horse now, Eladia decided that it was also unavoidable.

However, Azure Horse shook her head.

"No, I'll do it as planned."

Rebellion has broken out all over the land of Erdoğan, and upheavals are spreading among all the people and subordinates. If we were to cancel the usual feast here, many of our lords would accept that things were serious. On the contrary, by holding the feast as usual, I had to implicitly show that things were no big deal.

Of course, Eladia didn't dare to object if Azure Horse said so.

Eladia, who had resigned from the Pale Horse's office, walked down the aisle quickly, and the Elf Officers followed without a sound. Eladia asks them as she walks without looking back.

"Tonight's dinner will be held as planned. ― ― Is it okay to prepare food?

It was because I was worried about Marco, who was secretly in charge of cooking.

"It's okay, onee-sama." Rather, it's more than ever. ”

The sister answered Eladia with a small nag.

"Very well. As usual, during the banquet, Soma will call out to his subordinates." Are you prepared for a raid in the meantime? "

“In addition to this summer season, and in keeping with the intentions of the usual rude Soma, participants will be prohibited from participating in the dress ceremony and will only wear lightweight clothes to prevent the concealment of weapons. We are the only elves around Soma, and other races of women, including a human species threatened with assassination, are keeping their placement farther away from Soma.”

It could be a source of infamy to harden around the pale horse with just the elves, but now it was inevitable. Eladia nodded in approval.

"Very well. - What are the preparations for the restraints around Soma?"

"We have selected people who are particularly loyal." Those people make them wear chains under their clothes. Chains are made to order for the dwarves and are invisible even under loose ladies' clothing. Instead, the chains are thin and narrow-eyed, and although they may be slightly overwhelming in strength, the murder weapon will not penetrate the body and harm Soma. ”

In response to Eladia's question, the Elf lady blurted out that she had to use herself as a shield for a pale horse.

"The venue is a feast. Don't make innocent noises that disturb your taste. Do you have any measures against sound?"

"I've already put cotton in the eyes of the chains and treated them so that they don't sound. Still, in order to deceive the sound of standing, we plan to wear metal decorations for further wearers.”

Soma-sama is a modest person. I don't like the gorgeous ornaments that attract the attention of people who don't need a samurai lady around them, but I can't help it. "

When Eladia stopped, she returned her heel.

“I'm getting word from Tutu that someone is targeting Soma-sama's life. For this evening's feast, challenge it with a complete system!"

All the Elf Officers said, “I understand!" He returned the chorus.
