'Thoughts' is somewhat of a mixture, whatever the matter may be.
But there will be no place for the sole to swirl more than this, let's say here in the Secondary Continent, which is currently at war.
Originally, an invisible war ahead. Before the abruptly indicated 'possibility of ending' there would be no one who would not be interested.
The existence of the 'liberator' attracts the attention of so many beings.
"But can we really go beyond the forest of Ethereal Star, where that young man could not tread for hundreds of years?
"I'm in trouble if you don't. There were also several small dungeons in my territory, all of which dawned on him and made him disappear. We should not be the only ones who have moved to prioritize standing after this war over getting resources."
"I see... but this was unexpected to send warriors from other countries"
At the corner of the spectator seat, a certain aristocratic style of men speak.
Neither is he, 'Gardeus', the country to which Nao was summoned, of course, a single rock, etc.
Thousands of discriminates against those who squander the precious resources brought about by the dungeons, those who seek to consolidate and expand their territory by prolonging the war, and those who are connected to hostile nations.
The talk of getting down there even further, the proximity of the liberators, and recruiting new companions, however thoughtful it may be, was a good opportunity for many.
Some have made their breather one of the actors in ending the war, in order to give them their place.
For some try to make the liberator a puppet with the power of their gestures.
Others, without hindrance, merely for the purpose of testing their power.
Outrage, justice, lowliness, desire. A place of choice where every emotion swirls, a giant colloquium.
More than a dozen selected warriors were about to be chosen by the liberators themselves.
"Are you all right, Stilia? I know how it feels, but I guess I should have stayed at the mansion for a long time."
"Don't worry, old Mackenzie. Thanks to this cure, I feel better than sleeping in the mansion."
"... well. But why do you seem to have so many interesting faces?"
"... the overwhelming number of women, though very angry"
"Ho ho. But some of them are Nushi's men. That's your girl, isn't it?
"... if you can, you just want to distribute the breath-taking, trustworthy of our country. As it stands, of the knights who are free to move, because she is the one with the most arms"
And the two of them, fellow liberators Nao, were also watching the battle for this selection.
"Again, it seems that some mercenaries and aristocrats are involved in each faction... although the allies are only concerned with this one because of the war. It's not that easy to trust..."
"Uhm. And there are even young daughters who are obviously unlikely to be able to fight because it is not Lord Nao himself who chooses. Expect the palm of your hand, and be kind enough to..."
"... all I can say is tease. What do you think we, Master Nao, are fighting for..."
"Heh heh, well, I won't let you make a mistake as long as you're here, don't worry about that."
Many people doubted Nao's own strength.
But only the two of us on this occasion knew that he wasn't powerless anymore that he was just a child.
I knew that hands and hearts, and sweet choices, could never happen.
It became known as soon as the battle with the first man began.
Perhaps it was when some courtier confronted himself, who could not fight no matter how he saw it, only to force him to put on his gear.
With the signal of initiation, Nao disappears in an instant.
It was at the same time that a surprising voice rose from the venue and his sword was thrust against the lady's back.
"I'm here to find a real warrior. This is a warning. The next opponent will definitely hit the attack, so try it with their intent."
That proclamation echoing the venue of quiet awakened many human beings who were watching with insulting eyes somewhere.
Immediately, the holding room becomes rushed and fewer humans abandon the game.
And the selection had finally begun in the true sense.
When the complete selection had finally begun and the battle with the seven warriors was over, his two companions spoke as if they were impressed somewhere.
"... I see that there is still a strong man buried."
"Yeah. He seemed one younger than Master Nao earlier, but at least my men wouldn't have gotten a hand or a leg."
"Mm-hmm... but it's still far from shouldering Lord Nao... and the growth of the liberators is a terrible thing..."
"Yes... and some of Nao's skills have been taught by non-standard teachers."
Once, the man he mentored.
As the Demon King, even a natural disaster, even a mythological sudden demon has been ambushed and retreated under one sword, a being of another dimension of strength.
The encounter was certainly changing Nao, and the two of us.
Values that do not determine the limits of strength.
And a secret move, called ancient swordsmanship, that only the chosen can handle.
That, indeed, was what held him back, Nao's strength.
Therefore, whether he was a swordsman with talent, a heavily trained knight or a warrior who continued to train in martial arts with extreme skill, he did not reach Nao.
Regardless, the selection is fair regardless of victory or loss.
The aim is only to identify Nao as' this person can fight together 'from the battle he fought.
But still, he couldn't get along with what seemed like 'this guy'.
"... I think I am a knight of protection chosen to protect Master Nao. But... now maybe it's not someone like me who fights side by side with him, who specializes in attacks..."
"What are you so weak about? Even if you're right, there's no need for a protected person. Rest assured, the only thing that will protect Lord Nao will always be Nushi."
There's only one left to fight for selection.
The two people watching over it also understood that someone would soon be chosen by Nao, and had feelings similar to the slightest loneliness.
All this time, it's because the three of us have been walking. It is difficult to describe a new human being as if his or her previous steps would change somewhere.
Representatives of nations, those belonging to aristocratic factions. The battle of selection, where most of them abstained, did have those who made them feel shining objects.
And to the appearance of that last one, the venue made a slight noise.
"Where is that person?" "Also, did the target daughter show up?"
With words leaking somewhere resembling disappointment, only Stilia and McKenzie felt heterogeneous signs similar to that discomfort.
"That... sounds like a demon daughter, but it's rare on this continent, the demons with idiosyncratic organs"
"Ho, from what I've seen, I'm a little older than Lord Nao. Isn't she quite beautiful?"
"Old Mackenzie... but you do care, that look..."
Appearance of the Devil's daughter, who does have an eye-catching appearance.
Beautiful appearance and peculiar organs that are said to be expressed only in powerful demonic tribes.
Nao, who was confronting him, was also blinded by the 'one-wing' growing on him.
And the next moment, when the war was signaled...
"Huh! Disappeared"
"Miss Stiglia, over there."
Until now, there have been occasional developments in either accepting or avoiding Nao's attacks, which are carried out at a rate that is as if they were instantaneous movements.
Nao's power can no longer be challenged by ordinary people. Admirable enough to cope with that.
However, what was now taking place in the venue was a reciprocal offensive.
At the edge of the battlefield, in an instant, two swords moved between the walls, and they were just antagonizing each other.
My daughter's sword plays Nao and a series of unstoppable strikes are launched in her eyes.
And Nao also pulls out the second sword, the dagger, which he has never pulled out in this battle of choice, and tries to wipe it out.
"... you're strong, you!
"Yes, I think I'm stronger than the others"
When he says he is in the middle of a battle, it becomes like Nao's expression is taken aback for a moment by the words of his daughter, who self-evaluates him as if he were another HR.
And at the next moment, it turned into a happy face somewhere, a great distance away.
"... I'm going for real"
"Yes, I'm going for real, too"
Master, Nao takes the stance of Wavemotion, a move entrusted to him by Caivon.
Both swords wrap around the light, and forces are poured in to cut down the swordsman in front of them.
The opposing daughter also rises the blue flame from her own body, and dwells in the sword.
And the moment they both rushed out...
"That's it! Both sides, put your swords away!
The loud voice of King Gardeus interrupted the battle.
"Any more battles deviate from selection. This concludes the selection."
No dissatisfaction was raised. This is not a game or spectacle.
Instead, a lot of people whispered their hearts out that a decisive 'something' just didn't happen and that they might still have a chance left in their gestures.
'If you lose the liberator, that girl will be chosen'.
But I guess we all know that. At the moment, that last daughter is the only one capable of standing shoulder to shoulder.
"It's settled, bye. I'd like to welcome you on a journey with your young daughter... but I can't say that either."
"... Yep. I don't think there's anyone on this continent who can fight against Nao today."
"Then - you came from other continents," he said?
"That's likely, isn't it?... I'm sorry, old Mackenzie. Apparently, I'm losing my health again. I'm going back to the mansion… more details later."
"... um. Let's go to Nushi as soon as we decide. Leave Lord Nao alone."
That's how the selection ends.
The result did not have to be deliberated, but was determined by the words of Nao himself, the liberator.
That was the result of what the vast majority imagined, and there was no room for the thoughts of the nobles to intervene there.
Appeared out of nowhere, the daughter of one demon tribe.
The only daughter who could cross parity with Nao was chosen in the sunshine.
"Huh...... I finally see it. At this pace, we'll arrive at the harbor at night."
"No, I can't believe you're slowing down a little later, can you? I wonder if it's fast but fuel-efficient?
"I asked, apparently, the part that produces the propulsion used on this ship is still under study. Whatever, you think Dahlia's involved in development?"
"I see... if I could install cooperation per oink, the research would be a little bit more likely..."
Three days after the battle between Lue and the giant fish. On the fifth day of the voyage, capture the appearance of the Secondary Continent.
Speaking of the overall pace, it's too fast, but it still compares to the pace of the first half, and he was showing that the lue just seems a little short on the speed of the ship right now.
Hey, I think this is still faster than ever before on a ship.
"Well, why don't I tell you what the sailors told me about the trip to the Secondary Continent that Reyes bought from Mass Rabbit before?"
"Right. It could be more dangerous on the road than ever before, and we need to make sure we set the path and policies."
"It's true that even with us, we're not hostile to many people... and we need to make sure we decide what to do and what to do."
To sum up the stories I've heard and the information I've got from you guys before, the Secondary Continent is a continent in which such tensions persist, as if there were Berlin walls everywhere.
Border lines also exist, a continent that is currently in the middle of war.
He said that the high incidence of dungeons and the intensification of skirmishes over the resources there was the beginning in the first place, but that the history was ancient and a great gulf was formed between the countries.
Nao, the kingdom that summoned you, the reason for the birth of the dungeon was the magic of the sealed Seven Stars, and by freeing the Seven Stars, he turned down the cause of the birth of the dungeon and tried to eradicate the war.
Honestly, isn't that a bad idea? I think there will always be a rebellious force.
Either way, because it's such a continent, we have to act with caution.
Says Farnil said that even with dealings between merchants, national traffic itself is not thriving.
Therefore, we are only travelers from other continents, and there is no guarantee that we will not be caught up in battle.
"It's Gardeus, isn't it, Nao? The country you were called to. Should I go there first?
"That will happen… but it depends on the situation… the path you should be able to cross is blocked or the traffic may be regulated…"
"There's no reason to just break through."
I have managed to avoid the conflict zone and want to head there.
but at any rate once gathering information in port town is a prerequisite,?
'Religion' or 'myth' that would exist on this continent.
"Clues to the Old World" or "Where the Fennel Got the Statue".
Because we need 'information about the war' to explore it first, rather than information approaching such certainty.
"War... it's an unpleasant thing... because war is all that comes from crap greed..."
"Right. If people are just fighting, there may be a lot of good. But... war isn't. It's something that's already working for something other than that first purpose."
"We can calm down any quarrel, maybe if we want to. But we don't intervene in this war. That's good, right?
The two of them nod quietly. Of course, if anyone is innocent of the tragedy in front of them, the idea naturally protects it and pays for the firepowder that comes down on itself.
"Nevertheless... what shall we do with Hamu? It's a dangerous continent, and I think we should act together..."
"That's right... I just don't get the purpose of that kid's journey"
"He said, like looking for a place to live in peace, like going home... and it was ambiguous, and the Ham Rats are originally vagrant people, so maybe it's like instinct"
"I guess he was like a spiritual species. If you feel like it, you can protect yourself... but I guess I'll have to ask him."
If you insist on traveling alone, I won't force you...
Then, he returned to the ship and rested for a while until his arrival.
Night. Wake up with the sound of a whistle.
I'm going to sleep hypnotically, but apparently I'm deeply asleep in the ship's rhythm.
Prepare to disembark in a hurry when the time has finally come to land at the signs on board that you will be rushed to Russia.
Then I found Haku in front of the line of passengers going down.
"Ham! Why don't you come with us!?
"Ooh! Black brother ham. Ham feels like there's somewhere I have to go. So we shouldn't be together."
"Oh, really? Are you sure you want to be alone?
Even though Rhue speaks worryingly, she just goes down the tarrap waving Nico.
... where I have to go? Was there something I could do?
But... if she chooses it, she's probably right to drop it off.
Miss Alicia says she's gained enough power to fight enough already...
"What if it's the Ham Rat homecoming instinct... The common Ham Rat says that when she finishes her role where she took care of her, she disappears unknowingly, but no one knows where those girls are going... maybe she too..."
"Hey, hey... the disappeared kids aren't coming back...? What if even Hamu disappears! I don't like it. I can't believe she's gone."
Instinct as a species...... is it?
But somehow she feels like she's not, like she's just going on a journey.
Then I'm sure I'll see you somewhere again?
We were in line for disembarkation, and when we made the landing, there was nowhere else to see Hamu.
He lost his way through the harbour town at night, trying to find today's inn first, while removing the frustrating rue.
"Ha-ha-ha, where are you staying tonight... I wonder if you'll be all right"
"If you ask me, it seems like she's been traveling forever, and as a traveler she'll be a senior more than we are. I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Well, I do think he's a tough kid..."
A vibrant night town when it comes to the night.
If you do this, you're going to forget that this is a war-torn continent.
There are lots of taverns and lots of places that work with inns, but there are Rhue and Reis here. Let's refrain from entering a drunken human hissing place.
That's how I looked around the store and found an inn that, unlike other inns, didn't hear any rough noise.
If we're going to spend the night, we need to sign a contract soon.
"Again, I guess things during the war are also affecting you. There were more taverns than any other town, and it was busy."
"Forget the unpleasant and anxiety with the power of alcohol. Right, I've seen those people many times too..."
"That sort of thing......? Anyway, I'll see if there's a guild kind of organization on this continent tomorrow."
Thus, for today, I immediately laid down in bed and let go of consciousness in order to relieve my fatigue on the voyage.
The next morning. Rais rocks me and wakes me up.
Usually it's the side I wake up on, but apparently I was deep asleep.
When I got up to say a morning greeting to some satisfied looking Lace, I just opened the door to the room and Lue came.
"Ah, good morning, Kai-kun. I'm glad we have customers."
"Morning, Lue. Customers to us... did we just land last night?
"Yeah. I guess I'll be surprised, come to the lounge upstairs when you get dressed"
Apparently, the innkeeper had notified me of a visitor before I woke up, and Rue was handling it.
But when it comes to us... who's the sailor? No, as for Rhue saying he'll be surprised... Nao, are you or your people?
Either way, get dressed and head to the lounge with Lace.
Then there was the figure of one middle-aged man in the uniform of an Alliance official, who I miss somewhere.
"Oh, it's been a long time, sir! You look better than anything!
"Were you... Mr. Goto!
"It's kind of yummy... it's good with a goto, sir. I don't mind if it feels like it was in the city of Alvis. My husband is in charge of the Alliance."
Yes, there he was dressed as an adventurer who was holding my aide in the city of Alvis... but the fruit of it was Mr. Goto, the guild's secret detective.
"I did, why are you here... you're supposed to be in the semi-final continent?
"Ha, he's special. Sir, you would have asked General Oink to investigate, wouldn't you? of a flood of demons in Minds Valley, its backdrop and discovered curses. That's not all. We've done some research on the Agidal dungeon, so we were sent to report it."
I couldn't hide my inner surprise at the right time.
The problem we're looking for and what we asked Oink to investigate are definitely connected.
In this continent, where the answer to that mystery will sleep, I even feel that the time is too good to receive that report.
"The commander-in-chief is probably on his way to the Secondary Continent, so he came here directly. But rarely did the reading seem to have come off, which is why I've been waiting at this port for a month now."
"Ha... that was bad. In addition to my thoughts, there have been a number of incidents on Sardis."
"I see. It's been a long vacation for me, too. And then we gathered some information, too, right?
That's a secret detective. Sometimes he was just infiltrating the city of Alvis, where Arkham ruled alone.
Apparently, he was also examining the movements of this war, the general movements and standing positions of the nations, and - Nao, the liberator.
But before I hear it...
"Speaking of which, didn't you just say 'we were dispatched'? Are there others, guild people?"
"That's what - I had a daughter who was working with me, but now I was acting differently to get information... I'm not really worried, am I?
"When it came to acting alone on this continent, he brought in the middle hand tricks,"
"Do you remember my husband, too? See...... Arkham's Forgotten Twins. That sister is coming with me."
"Hmm!?
Once, I closed my heart and finally got my life back, the daughter of a false demon king.
I didn't know Zinnia was coming to this continent now......
"... there are so many things I want to ask you. I'll have breakfast, let me hear it carefully."
Apparently, how we should move on this continent. That specific policy is going to be decided.
