The larger the unit, the more likely its discipline is to be disrupted.

If it was a trained, regular army, it might have been able to correct the disturbance of discipline immediately.

But they, the 'Liberator Expeditionary Army', were in a state where they could not be said to be the right army of discipline in flattery, either in relation to a mixed mix of different positions, human thoughts of purpose.

"Are you okay, Ginia..."

"There's a good chance the troublemakers are teasing me..."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said you couldn't and got in the same magic car as us?"

"Uhm... but I'm stubborn enough to say, 'I don't like lavish places'..."

"You won't tell me about yourself inside... Mr. Zinnia"

"In the end, the battle for that selection also seemed to have jumped in forcefully, and it must have some purpose..."

"But at least I don't think you're a bad person...... I'm sure"

Nao and his companion Mackenzie are entrusted with the overall command of that expeditionary army.

Naturally, he and his companions, the liberators, were treated differently than others, but only Ginia, the new girl, was treated as one of the Expeditionary Forces on the grounds that she did not reveal her identity.

Nevertheless, it has, of course, been decided to act with Nao in the dungeon.

It was precisely now that their concern had become a real thing and they were caught up in trouble.

Though, he doesn't really understand it.

"Yes, I was chosen by Nao so I will accompany you to the dungeon"

"Call me down! Where are you going, girl? Give in, you're hurt, you're sick, you're lying!

"No. You are so weak, it will undoubtedly be Nao and McKenzie's burden"

Expeditionary troops riding demons and following them as backups for the Naos.

Some of them appeared to be many women who had escaped the battle against Nao.

I'm not actually going to be in danger. Just a long march, an expedition that will take the form of a camp more than once, together at night.

The evil thoughts of the adults with such thoughts, expecting something there, were also lurking within them.

"Do you know what's going on? Are all the mercenaries in my house? You guys, surround this guy."

"Heh!"

The line is collapsed and the perimeter is consolidated.

That's a dangerous act that could even demonize you if you're on horseback.

Each of them flickers their gains and intimidates them to threaten Zinnia.

But in that situation, she was just calmly thinking about something out of the ordinary.

(Why am I left to this woman? When it comes to being so interested in yourself, there must be some cause. I'm sure you want to talk to me)

"Let's introduce ourselves. My name is Ginia. What is your name?

"Huh? What the hell, you.... Fine, do it."

You felt ridiculed, pointing the spear at Zinnia so the mercenaries could poke lightly.

But she is also a born samurai who once held large numbers of human beings in a position to bind Arkham's private soldiers. Naturally, I also know how to ride a battle, and show it crossed with skillful hands-on judgment.

And naturally, she also finally understood that she had been clearly harmed.

"I see, I get it. So..."

Then the next moment, Ginia breathed heavily...

"Nao! Please help me! I'm being bullied!

He called for help with a few words.

From there, the march stopped lightly, and his noble daughter and her mercenaries were refused permission to accompany him, saying that he was not worthy of the expedition.

We weren't planning on forming a massive expedition so far.

However, it was not possible to hinder people who had bought backups in front of foreign countries and allies, and was only allowed to accompany them first.

On the road, he had made it clear that if problems arose, he would cut them off as soon as possible, and he didn't even listen to his daughter's excuses, lightly reducing the size of the Expeditionary Force by "another turn".

"... Ginia, are you possibly doing this with me?

"What is it?

"Lord, are you deliberately putting out such people to make it easier for Nong et al to move? Still strong inside."

"... what do you think? But I told you to call me as soon as something went wrong, so I did it."

"... or Nushi will half-kill no matter who..."

Yes. In fact, Ginia has already taken many human beings off this expedition with her own hands, or Nao's power, during this expedition.

At first, the men were invited by their beautiful appearance. The next samurai I'm not convinced of. And many of the women and their surroundings who plan to communicate with each other as they did earlier.

"Then I'll be patient and take this carriage next time. If I could, I'd calm down somewhere a little bit more like an old carriage."

"... Um, what kind of environment did you live in...?

"Well, until very recently, I lived in a converted dungeon room."

"Dungeon...... Lord, are you a sinner or something?

"Right, I'm sure I'm a sinner. Whoever forgives me, I guess I'm a sinner."

Nao and McKenzie could not say anything to the confession that made them have that inclusion.

When you hear something you shouldn't ask, only the severe air stays in the magic car.

But after all, the person in question was thinking of a slight deviation from the inside: 'Maybe I should have said that I had built my own room that mimicked the dungeon and lived there'.

... the long dungeon life was definitely driving her senses crazy.

"... by the way, is that dungeon, the sausage forest, far from here? Today's the third day, if there still seems to be a distance, I'd like to write to you in some city."

"It's the Ethereal Star Forest...? That makes it a forest with a lot of meat hanging around it. Uh, if you travel by demon car for three more days from here, there's a small lodging town. Shall I write to you there?"

"Okay.... You weren't sausage. I thought you'd get a lot of souvenirs."

"Hmm, do you mainly have a family waiting for you?

"Yes. I have a twin brother. It's the only blood relationship."

"The only one...? I think I heard something bad."

"No, I don't mind. My parents were... probably bad guys. But instead, I have people like many fathers and mothers. I thought I could bring them a lot of souvenirs."

"Kuk...... right. Then when it's all over, you can buy a lot of stuff in the harbor town. The best part is the dried seafood. It's good for liquor dishes, and it's all first-class ingredients."

"Dry stuff...... that's like dry sausage. I'll look for it."

It's not like I have a lot of mouths. I don't have much to say from myself.

But by no means does she hate talking to people, nor does she feel bad about love.

I'm just oblivious to general common sense, and clumsy.

Slowly. But steadily, Nao and McKenzie were building a relationship with this little strange girl.

(If it's a delicious ingredient, Master Caivon might be happy with it. Would I be complimented if I told you)

(If it's a delicious ingredient, Mr. Caivon might show interest too...... I need to let him know next time I see him)

Outreach, Nao and Ginia are similar to each other.

But what it discovers is that it's still a while away.

The late evening encounter became a far cry from romantic like just a sit-down.

but sometimes it's easier to do this one personally.

But, you know, it's about time...

"Hey, it's dawn already?

"Right? So, what's next? What happened with that princess?

"In the meantime, I've been wanting my head and saying goodbye"

"Oh, what a waste to throw away reverse balls."

I talked all night.

There was no colorful story there, and it was like a clean, correct youth drama while adult men and women sat in bed in the bedroom, saying hello, forgetting their time while talking commonly.

"That's good enough for you this time. It's time to go back to the two of you."

"Really? Right, we'll do the rest another time. That's it for one thing for Mr. Kai's Adventure Sarsgard edition. Now at Oink, I'd like to talk to you about the semifinals"

"Oh. Now it's time for me to let you go, but one last thing -"

And my original purpose, which I completely forgot. Reminds me of the real reason I let go of Lue's hair decorations, albeit temporarily.

"Stolen original hair decorations. If you find it, can I have it? No, worst of all, you can borrow it until my journey is over."

"Is that the hair decoration...... It's important, isn't it?

"... oh. A trusted prophet told me that we're gonna need it."

"... is it something like a key item that you say in the game? It's good. Fortunately, it looks like the king has already intended to take it back, and I don't think there's a problem"

"... is that good?

"Yes, it looks like it was originally an unknown item... and it's a strange story to inherit from my adopted son."

"... but you had soldiers looking for you."

"Yeah. I didn't want to give it to a human hand that I didn't know anywhere about. The real princess who died... because it was something she was supposed to inherit."

So was she saying that in the dining room?

I shouldn't wear hair decorations......

"Unfortunately, we don't have any information about the person we stole from. But if you say so, just like Kai today, he scratched the castle guard and reached my room."

"I see...... are many people aware of the existence of hair decorations?

"Well, once you're a person in this country, it's not strange to know if you have a strong interest in royalty," he said.

"... I see. By the way, it hasn't been long since they stole it, has it?

"Right. It was stolen three days before Kai arrived. It's just... this still makes our soldiers excellent. It's a small number of people, but I'm proud to say that you have a lot of mobility and investigative skills. I'm sure they haven't been transported to the Sphere Garden since I couldn't find it."

"... for which I didn't notice the left or right inversion of the hair decoration, or this is how they're invading me."

"Hahaha...... right? But maybe I'm not wrong."

In the meantime, I tried to taste the information presented, but now I'm not even going to be able to imagine where it goes...

But, well, should we make sure that it's okay to make hair decorations this time?

Besides, I was able to reunite with my nostalgic face. Is this also, in a way, due to Lainey's guidance?

"Kai, where are you headed after this?

"Once we get back to Sphere Garden, now we go through this country again to the territory of Gardeus. Apparently, that's the only way to get to the Ethereal Star Forest."

"Really...... I just think this army is laying down an examination near the border, right?

"Don't you think we can get through this?

"What do you think...... wait a minute"

With that said, Elle takes out the parchment somehow and writes it in a way she is used to there.

And finally, I took a small box out of the item box and showed it to him.

"What's that?

"This is actually a king's seal. I borrowed it before. I made a fuss for a while, but I lied that I stepped on it by mistake and broke it, and I got it."

"... why again"

"Naturally, that's to abuse, right? I also have one or two people who are free to move, if that helps with human activity."

"I don't know how hard it is... so what are those papers?

"Hehe, it's like a bill of lading. Because if there is a king's mark, any content will prevail. This time it's not about the merchant you're holding. It doesn't say what's impossible."

With that said, she'll hand over the bills of lading she can.

"Elle, you better not tell anyone about the item box."

"Of course that is. You're still experienced, aren't you?

"Right.... Well, let's just say it's time to go."

"Unfortunately, you have no choice. If this is the case, I should have trained myself a little more."

"Ha, you wanted to follow me?

"Yeah. The market is set when it's the demon king who takes the princess away, right? So..."

The rising sun reflects this silhouette in the room.

Hiding in that shadow, Elle smiled with a dazzling smile that blew even such a shadow.

"Now, you can come and take it from me, okay?

"... again you say impotent. You should walk off on your own feet. So come to me and show me."

"... Kai is still Kai no matter how far you go?

That's how I left this clueless friend and headed home in the morning burn.

"Oh, my God! We don't have time for that. We're waiting for people!

"I'm sorry. I'm happy to offer, but that's what I'm saying..."

"Do something there! Because one day today, just one day!

The morning of the second day after Mr. Kai left. A man named a stream painter, one of the inn's guests, has also spoken to Rhue, who has been somewhere worryingly looking at the painting since this morning.

Anything, he wants me to definitely paint him with a cheek wand and look at the painting.

Honestly, I know it's a good story, but now the situation is the situation.

"You are also very beautiful... why don't you include your portrait as a painting!?

"So am I... waiting for people..."

This is the third time I've received these invitations from this person.

Even last night, he even asked me to be a stone model, or let me do a nude dessert in my room, which was a hell of a favor.

"Customer… please refrain from any inconvenience to other customers"

"Yes, there you are! Can you leave a subject like this alone! Look, a beautiful girl in a pure white elf, combined with this adorable and thoughtful depth! Look! Perfect limbs like you infused all this beauty! Are you telling me to give it up when I say that such an incarnation of beauty situated at the opposite pole is at the same time on this occasion!

"Yes, if it seems to be an inconvenience to other customers, we don't want them to be forced to leave."

"Key!"

I don't feel bad when I get that much praise...... just not good.

Rhue is also tingling his ears a little happily, but he doesn't seem to be going to give in resolutely.

Just then the entrance to the hotel opened and a bell rang to inform the visitors, as the pressing questions of the man at the front desk and the painter's man were repeated.

Then he showed up there.

"Oh, you were both here. I'm back now."

"Kai-kun! Welcome back, is there anything wrong?

"Are you a little tired and sleepless enough?

"Okay, so let's go back to your room right away, and I'll even accompany you?

"Hmmm...... would you really do that if I asked you?

"... without embarrassment"

Mr. Kai was standing safely.

Luckily for me, Rhue headed to the room to escape the man who made the persistent request, and I also put in a no and followed it.

"A model of a painting?

"Yeah. They told me to put my cheek cane on all day. I said no."

Lying in bed, Lue was telling me about what happened while I was gone, but that's the city of art. There seems to be an artist with a little rampant enthusiasm, unlike a man who just tells you.

I was wondering if you had time.

If you're going to exhibit it somewhere and then allow me to buy it out.

"When I was asked to take my clothes off, I wanted to repel the boulders..."

"Reis, that guy's features are detailed. I'll keep it dark later."

"Yes, that's it."

Even with those reports, I take out the hair decorations I took back safely and show them.

Then, Lue, who glistened his expression all the time, received it as though it mattered, and was just putting it back on his hair.

"Um, we might find it again, and shouldn't we just leave this country until we leave...?

"I think you'll be fine. I already took it back over there, and I didn't steal this hair ornament. I explained the situation to the owner of the stolen hair decoration and got it back."

"Did you talk to the owner? So, did you also get information on the pair of hair decorations?

"No, I stayed mysterious about that. It's just that it's probably not in this city."

"... to observe, weren't the bearers of the hair decorations the royalty, queens and princesses of this country?

Then Rayce asked me a question, asking me more about the owner.

May I speak here? I wonder why...... I find it a little hard to say to the two of them why they were talking about Elle switching bodies.

... No, I still don't want to hide anything.

Above all, it should be good news for both of us.

"Actually, the owner of the hair decoration... it's about the princess -"

Explain what she told me by scratching it.

And after all the twists and turns, until he is adopted by the king.

The reaction was dramatic and, among other things, Reis was moving his hands with Wana Wana, showing more detail.

"Oh, I can't believe Elverson's will... is with that person...! Only the title is in the drawing, and only one duplicate painting exists... No, I can't believe you're still in this world..."

"I can't believe Elle was alive! Me too, I've been talking to the painting on the ground floor all yesterday thinking that you're dead... maybe I've been kind of rude"

"Ha... I know you won't be able to see me right away from the standpoint, but if there's any sort of settlement for this war, I guess I'll have a chance to see you, too?

"Is that true!? Well, we'll have to talk a lot then."

"Wow, I must too! Your opinion on the interpretation of the painting… what an honor."

We need to rendezvous with Nao soon, for both of us.

This war, there must be a man in the dark. I'm sure he noticed that, too.

Besides, I'd like to hear more about Mr. Stiglia's injuries.

Everything is connected. There is no basis. But I do have a feeling about that.

"I'll only sleep a couple of hours. Have lunch when you wake up… just a little sightseeing before we move on"

"Yeah, shall we? Then I can sleep well. I'll give you a lull."

"Hehe, then I'll burn the incense furnace, won't I?

"Ha, it's all because of what I can get to. Well, good night, both of you."

With a pleasant sensation engulfing the body and inhaling a gentle fragrance resembling lavender, I was amazed, in an instant, by the consciousness -

Be comfortable. I hope this luxury lasts forever.

But as much as I wish. The more you will, the farther this comfort goes, and...

"... Morning, Reis"

When I woke up, Rayce sat beside me and was quietly reading the book.

The title is...... "From Myth to This Time Now. Why Sphere Garden Was Born 'sounds like a book that tells the history of this city.

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Kai"

"Yeah, good morning. You're reading some interesting books."

"Is this it? I bought it earlier from a bookstore nearby."

"I see. Though I can't see that Lue..."

"That's... the promise of only three hours, taking on the model of the painting..."

"Ha ha, is it time then? Come... shall I pick you up?"

I stretch out my body and get up, impressed by the amazingly tired body that the secret to sleeping that you two have done to me is real.

Okay, well, shall I pick you up with a look at what's going on with the model, Mr. Leue?

That's how I headed to the first floor, and a threesome that I think is a painter, kind of a bitter laugh, is it called a bottom painting on campus? I was just drawing a line with a tool similar to Crockey's.

"... weren't you supposed to be wearing a cheek wand?

"Well, it should be..."

What is depicted is a heroic pose, as if it were even broadcasting on TV on a Sunday morning. It was the figure of Mr. Leue, who has one hand on his hip and the other hand in heaven.

Naturally, the person in question also had a heartless or proud look on his face as he posed for it.

"Ah, good morning, Kai-kun. Give me another ten minutes, I'm getting my masterpiece painted right now."

"Oh, oh..."

The painters are blurry with a little remorse: 'Why…' but I would like to silence you in the spirit of 'It's an honor to draw our daughter, Olah'.

Isn't she cute? I have to let you buy one of these.

As such, Rhue returns here when the lower painting is safely completed.

"Well, can you show me the next time you come? Then I'll pose for you next time."

"Yes..."

"Whatever the structure... it is our insistence on elevating it to art..."

"Is this...?

In the meantime, I promised to buy one, too.

Let's buy it at a worthy price. So I might even donate it to a prestigious museum.

And then he handed over Ryue to visit the Sphere Garden.

The next morning. Before noon, he will remove the inn, board the demonic car and leave the Sphere Garden behind.

I also have strong feelings about being attracted to back hair, but now it's a prerequisite to rendezvous with Nao.

If you're sure of the information, Nao, you're already on your way to the Ethereal Star Forest.

And due to a different starting point, it probably shouldn't be weird to have reached near that forest entrance already.

"When it's all over, we have to go again. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to my paintings."

"Hehe, you do care.... what the finish will be in that pose"

"Right. Then we won't be heading to the city where Elle is this time, and we'll change course inland after a while. We should be able to get around to the other side of Gardeus territory."

"Well, as far as the map goes, there's not going to be a place to rest on the way, and you're going to be camped out."

"Right...... we need to secure a promising place as much as we can"

As I was taking confirmation of the path as I drove the demonic car, I saw a quick split.

Come to think of it, isn't the empire that is holding back much of the coastal area and the foreign forces that follow it actually far outweighs Gardeus?

I don't have a map describing the exact force... but if you look at it as a war, isn't it Nao you guys who are being pushed?

"... the empire itself is such a possibility,"

I can't see the whole story. However, even if we can do something about the culprit, can't we stop what happened once?

Or does the liberation of the Seven Stars in this world mean enough to blow up a war?

I don't know. At least for me, I just came to this continent.

Nao, I started following your footsteps, three days after I left Sphere Garden.

On the road, he came across the wilderness, an abandoned village with obvious claw marks and thoughts of a war disaster.

Even in a world free of weapons of mass destruction, even in the absence of a man of divine slavery, a great magic mentor like Lue, we are reminded once again that magic and magic can be a disaster causing much damage if we go in the wrong direction.

Whatever that is, my powers are the same.

When I come to this continent, once again, how does the presence of 'strong power' affect my surroundings? It was making me feel like I was being made to look different.

And in an effort to get there today, we decided to camp in a small village site where only burnt debris would remain, once again a disaster had struck us.

"Kai-kun, I thought you didn't like these places?

"A little. I can easily create a sight like this myself if I make a mistake. Think about it."

"That's the same for me. But at the same time, war is what groups do. I find it more frightening that many people do what Kai does alone for the same purpose. After all, war is a mistake... and there is no such thing as a war that means so little or so much..."

The words of Reyce, who once herself set herself up in war, are deeply engulfed in her heart.

... is it scarier to do it in groups than alone? Maybe that's true.

It's just like if someone changes their mind to stop it, they can't stop it on their own.

...... then the person who created this flow......

"Look, stop thinking about the hard stuff. We are outsiders, and Kai-kun only smashes up such strange battles of outsiders. Look, I've got boundaries all around me, and I'm ready to get ready."

"Right. Well, let's make sure it's not something we can do today."

"Right. Luckily, there seems to be a river nearby."

"As far as the burning signs go, it sounds like this was a village called 'Acriver'"

"I see... the water source is nearby, and maybe it was originally a large field"

I hold that feeling as I watch the baked soil spread around the village ruins.

... Can this place regain its original sight someday?

As I was preparing for dinner, Rue, who was watching what was going on around her, came back with some happy face.

"Did you find anything interesting?

"Yeah. Look, take a look at this."

"Sounds like some kind of writ... uh..."

The thin and dirty letter contained an order that residents living around here should be evacuated by all to a nearby fort.

Should it be seen that, at least, there was no damage to the inhabitants?

"The burnt marks and the way the surrounding ground burned were unnatural. The impression that you burned it flashy for a disturbance? You burned your surroundings weakly against the damage to the building, didn't you? So I was exploring the area. Look, when I dug the dirt nearby, there was still enough potatoes left."

"Well, it sounds good to see that the inhabitants have escaped somewhere"

Ha, sure, this is a delightful discovery.

There's only one person who wants to fight. I'm totally sorry I got involved with an irrelevant human being there.

"Perhaps the Empire is a nation that cares about its people more than it thinks."

"The Empire? Is it the Empire that protected the inhabitants?

"Looks like it. This letter, below, is the King's Seal of the Empire."

The moment I see the mark, Elle's face passes behind her brain.

... what the heck, you were working properly too.

Even if you can't end the war, don't you do what you can in your own way?

"... vegetables under the soil, shall I borrow them for a moment?

"Right, let's have some delicious food before it goes bad!

Outreach, it might be too soon. You come all the way to me and everyone else.

"There were so many potatoes over there, could I pick more?

"You just keep it for what you eat, okay? All the residents might come back."

"Of course. All right, let's dig."

In the sunset, I look up at the sky looking at Lue digging up the potatoes with pleasure, thinking, 'I wish the time had come to spend this time with my people one day'.

... Originally, there's no reason to be irrelevant.

Anyway, Nao, it's not just about you, it's about Elle.

"... how do I stop a war?"

"... you decided to get involved, Mr. Kai"

"Though I'm only going to be able to attack and destroy it about one thing or the other. I'll think of something else. Luckily, we have connections with you, Nao. I'll desperately try to squeeze my wits."

Power creates a tragic sight if it is directed in the wrong direction.

But if that's what you need. If that's what you need to disappear to be lost.

Let's shake relentlessly. Don't be afraid to create sights like this village.

I've done this all my life. Stop being such a commonsense person now, me.

"By the way... how much is Rhue going to eat potatoes alone?

"... Looks like you're getting more and more fun to find... should I hide it somewhere near you later"

Supper, it's going to be potato making......
