The opening of Seras, who was lying on the bed,
"... I'm sorry."
It was.
Serrus covered his eyes with his arms.
Looks like the fever is down.
Are you okay now?
Yes, now.
It seemed like I was stunned.
I pull the chair and sit by the bed.
This is a room in the castle.
One bed.
Simple rooms with nothing else to note.
There are only two people in the room, me and Serras.
Pigi Maru, Slay, and Nyaki are in separate rooms.
By the way, I'm in a state where I take off my mask.
"Were you visiting the fields on the castle grounds?"
"I was told that King Zeke had forgiven me for" walking freely on the grounds of the castle ”... and that it would be bad to know what it was like in and around the castle."
So, I was walking around the premises with Piggy Maru.
So while visiting the fields on the premises, what happened was...
△
This kind of crop grows even underground.I see. Are you using the technology that Erica passed on to you?That's Erica.
Piggy ~
Pacu ~
"Haaa... I'm still surprised at this sight of no humans at all..."
By the way, this crop, to tell the truth, this is the first time I've ever seen it! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Piggy!?
Pakyu!?
Selas-san!? What happened suddenly!?Hmm... what's wrong with this big Mimizu-san...?"Don't worry!" This is just Mimizu-san!
"............,..."
Piggyyy!
Pakyuu!
Hahhhhhhh!? Your face is drawing blood from it!Maybe it's Miss Mimis's fault!?Nyah, hurry up... Nyaki will bury you back!"Hah, hah, hah... that's it!"Selas-san, Nyaki is back in the dirt!?Mr Serras! It's dangerous to fall like this!I mean, you're fainting!Oh, you two! "I want you to support Mr Serras with me!" Uhhhh!

"--it was like that,"
You're starting to feel embarrassed.
With her eyes hidden with her arms, Seras turned bright red to her ears.
Somehow I was able to imagine the scene clearly.
But this is.....
――――
"... hmm? What's the matter, Seras?"
Serrus is raising his blindfolded arm.
He looked at me strangely with his blue eyes round.
"Ah, no... well, you..."
Seras tends to succeed in his words.
"It's so unusual to laugh like that..."
"Really? Unlike that non-laughing witch, I usually laugh a lot."
"I wonder if it's really unusual for me to blow up like this... unexpectedly."
"Well, if you ask me...."
Maybe so.
No, maybe you shouldn't laugh...
Imagine the messy sights of the yaki.
You look like you're smiling.
Unexpectedly, a smile spilled.
"... maybe"
I smiled with my fingertips between my eyebrows.
"I'm sorry about the terrible feeling Serus... but it's thanks to you that I've been laughing like this for a long time."
Seras followed my smile, fufu.
She gently laid down her eyelashes.
"I'm glad it helped you feel lighter."
"If you change your mind, maybe it's because of the worm."
Seras looks complicated.
Pick the edges of the thin cloth with your left and right fingers.
"Ugh... should I thank you, too?It's a little bit complicated and emotionally complicated. "
I said that in a slightly recalcitrant manner.
Lower your eyebrow buttocks and Seras looks in trouble.
"Of course, I know that the worm is innocent... but when it becomes a worm... the worm is... a worm, that is, a worm... a worm"
He tried to find a good spot to be a serrat.
But I can't seem to think of anything good.
I see...
As she spoke, she trembled slightly and became blue again.
Selas closed his eyes with a sense of self-discipline.
"I can't... even though I'm the deputy chief of the Fly King Battle Corps, I look pathetic like this.I'll do my best to overcome it. "
"It's not so bad to keep it that way."
Are you still not good with worms?
"Serras Ashlein is a tough highelf to find.You can have one such weakness. And.... "
Well,
"It's cute when you say it's cute, and so are its weaknesses."
"Hmm - is that so?"
"But maybe we should hide it from the goddess damn faction.I don't want to be disturbed by worms in an important situation. "
Seriously, Seras wrinkled between his eyebrows.
Ugh, with her mouth written in a letter to her, she speaks of determination.
"Again, I will try to overcome it."
Are you going to?
"I will."
Apparently I will.
Well...
I was able to make sure that Seras was safe.
"By the way, for the future."
I told him that I had the cooperation of the Banned Communities.
Fighting the forces of the goddess who is coming here.
When I'm done talking, I can float my hips out of my chair.
Then Seras got up with one hand.
She looks up at me with a hard look on her face.
"Finally, here you are."
"I still have the power to Nullify the [Goddess Decurse (Dispensable)]... Ah.Finally, the foundation is ready. "
Wearing the Fly King's mask, she said.
"Just crush the Visis token that is heading here first."
"Should we still be vigilant about the 6th Cavalry, the most powerful of the 13 Cavalry of the Alliion?"
For now.
"I've heard more about its strength than ever before.As I told you before, I've never met him in person..... "
Sixth Cavalry.
Louis Seal was talking about them, too.
Strangely, I had a bad tooth cut.
It seemed like I hated the Sixth Cavalry because of the words.
"The Thirteenth Cavalry wasn't very popular with the people of the Allion."
"Yes, I will repeat what I said before -"
Selas put it in front of him.
"Looks like the Duke is tied up in the Thirteenth Cavalry.The Captain of the First Cavalry, the head of the Thirteenth Cavalry, has long been the Duke.I hear that only the First Cavalry belongs to the second son of the nobility and the third son.And the rest of the Thirteenth Cavalry don't just have a much praised past... "
Mercenaries with strong but problematic personality, spoilers and sinners.
Most of them are composed of such people.
They say there are rumors like that.
The information from the sword of valor is consistent with it.
Or do they listen only to the commandments of the goddess, and not to the commandments of the king of the ions?On the other hand, she is surprisingly loyal to the orders of the goddess. "
"I mean, like the sword of valor, it looks almost as good as Visis's son."
Even that human species is a brainwashed goddess.
... even the Sixth Cavalry is a handmade Visis brainwashing group.
"So... the strongest of them is the rumored Sixth Cavalry.You said you didn't know anything about the captain, except his name. "
For Seras, it's about another country.
I don't know how to do it without knowing.
"No matter what kind of person they were, the person they actually met said," He was a man without such characteristics. ”Anyway, I don't think he's a very impressive person. "
"The shadows are thin... even though I'm captain of a famous cavalry."
It's like... I don't know.
It's like you're playing the air.
For example, yes...
Like somebody used to be.
It's like you're playing a mob.
"I wonder if anyone knew his last name.His name is... yes, Jondu. "
"Yes"
Seras taught me his name before.
"Anyway, it's forbidden to be alarmed..."
In fact, it was weaker than expected.
Overrated.
That's fine.
But it is dangerous to estimate it weakly.
Those who decided that they were perfectly weak...
I know exactly where they end up.
Turn your back on Serras.
"I'm going to meet King Zeke."
Shall I go too?
"No, we're supposed to talk alone."
"Yes, and soon I shall greet Lord Munin, too."
"I thought it was a solid type at first, but it seemed surprisingly easy to talk about.I'm sure Seras and I can do it too - see you later. "
"Yes"
As I put my hand on the door knob, I remember one question.
"I'm staying in the same room... but can I stay in the same room?It would be more convenient if you two were together. "
Fufu, Selas smiles a bit like a prank.
"But if you don't mind."
"Okay."
"Eh!? Ah, yes, please."
"... what, you wanted to be with me so much?"
"Ah, eh... that's it..."
Hey, hey.
Shamefully, Serus lifts the cloth with both hands.
The lower half of the face is hidden with a cloth.
She then admitted that she was being paranoid when she turned away from it.
"----yes, I still want to do it."
"If I was rejected as a joke, I'd be shocked."
"I'm always serious about this."
Good, then.
Leaving aside, I left the room and closed the door.
I told King Zeke in advance through Armia that I had something to say to him.
I went to King Zeke's waiting room.
▽
"Okay, I know about Munin."
We decided to take Munin out of this country.
I told King Zeke about it.
"I thank you again.It was your cooperation that brought the negotiations with Krosaga so smoothly. "
Say thank you to Erica.
"Of course I'm going to thank Erica.But I'm still grateful to you.Ah, and then - it's a condition for Munin to cooperate with me... Munin asked me to do it.If we leave here, we'll talk about it when we're done. "
The Fly Kings will help you fight the impending power of the Goddess.
I told her that.
But the reaction of King Zeke is not as good as Fang.
"Ugh, mmm...."
Yesterday, King Zeke held his forehead back.
"Are you worried?"
"After you had gone to the settlement of Krosaga, we gathered all together for a meeting in seven splendor.Actually, as a matter of policy... the Goddess's forces are likely to negotiate with each other. "
Negotiate?
"... you think it's the right person to talk to?"
"At first, I thought Yo had to intercept.Just in the middle of a meeting..... "
King Zeke cuts words there once.
"Is there anyone in Seven Glorious who has proposed negotiation through discussion?"
"... you're right.Prime Minister Lizzelotte is a strong advocate of peaceful negotiation.She is also the most vocal of the seven splendors. "
Hmm?
Seven (...) Huang (...)?
The Seven Spirits should also contain the Immortal King Zeke.
"Does the Prime Minister have more say than the king?"
Yes, King Zeke nodded in a disgraceful manner.
The king talks pompously in a leaning mood.
"This country has not been associated with war for a long time.Whatever is most admired in such a country… it is a master of internal affairs and a technologist.And it is Arakne who has been in charge of them for generations.Among them, Onik's clan, which is expelling successive prime ministers, is in a special position. "
The technology Erica entrusted to this country.
It is Onik who has been in charge of operation and thus development.
"Yo lives a long time, but he's never good at war.Personal force is no big deal.I don't want any outside knowledge because I'm in this country... yes, Yo just lives a long time.It is not Yo who is essentially moving this country..... "
The Immortal King.
The Undying King.
However, it is not necessarily ineffective (...).
And so are humans.
Because he's been alive forever.
Not necessarily superior to young people.
If this is ”immortality” and longevity, we can work much harder.
However, if various abilities gradually deteriorate over the years.....
"The Immortal King does not always sustain his heyday.Naturally... you'll need to be decentralized to work hard. "
"That's right, so we have to keep assigning the good guys to their rightful roles.The same will be true of your world.King alone, the kingdom will never turn. "
Certainly.
But he has a stronger say than the king....
"Are the other Seven Hundreds in favor of the Prime Minister's policy?"
"Tomorrow, I will decide it again with seven splendors.It's a decision that will shape the future of the country... and I think we'll need time to think about it overnight. "
I put my hand on my chin and fell down in silence.
Lose it and raise your face.
"Personally, what do you want to do?"
"As for Yo, I want to entrust the fate of this country to the other seven brilliants. It's just...."
King Zeke keeps beating.
"It's time to connect this country with the outside world," Yo thinks.In other words, we need to open up this country to a future not so far away... that's what Yo thinks. "
…………
"If I tell you, this country is facing a crisis."
I shut up and waited for the next word.
King Zeke sighed and said.
"A crisis is a food problem."
In other words,
"Is it time to stop bribing the people who live in this country?"
King Zeke, who tends to breathe tirelessly, accepts.
"I managed to get here thanks to the technology and ancient magic equipment that Erica gave me.But... the number of people living in the country is growing, and some of the ancient magic equipment that has supported food production is beginning to reach its end.Only a limited number of people in this country know about it so far.... "
"So we need to connect with the outside world and create a state where we can get food outside."
"Yes, that's why Yo...."
"I want to settle this as peacefully as possible so that those outside the world do not recognize me as an enemy to be eliminated."
"Hmm... that's why Yo found Lizzie's policy fascinating.As soon as this country finally opens up to the outside world, we have to fight human beings... it takes too long to impress us. "
Certainly.
I know how you feel.
But to King Zeke, who speaks like that...
"But are there any doubts?"
"Hmm... I'm worried about the presence of the goddess.Whether the goddess who is still obsessed with this country... will fulfill our peaceful negotiation... "
"I don't think you're likely to respond."
"Does Lord Belzeggia think so?"
"Especially those who are on their way here... when I propose to make friends with the Allion XIII cavalry, I don't really think they will say" yes, let's do it ”from the bottom of my heart."
"... is that so?"
King Zeke sighs sadly.
"Just... just like I said, Yo doesn't know.I want to bet on what I want... if I talk about it in earnest, I'll think about it. "
"... well, that's all I have until now, if you say it's my personal feeling.And I don't have the authority to decide the fate of this country.However, I can help you if you want me to fight with you.Besides... it seems that some of the attackers are messing with the ones I want to crush. "
King Zeke looked at me like he was being played.
"... is there any reason?"
"It's a warm-up, dear fellow man."
They destroyed Liz's settlement.
Besides, they're probably targeting the Banned Monsters.
As for me, I have to crush it.
But that's exactly how many opponents there are this time.
It's tough to fight only the Fly Kings.
And if we just take Munin and leave here...
The remaining Krosaga will almost certainly be killed.
Munin wants to save Krosaga.
That's why you're helping me.
Well then,
I have no choice but to take Munin away from the last country.
And about Nyaki.
If this is where he is for the moment....
We have to protect it.
What do you want me to do?
Do you want to take Krosaga outside the tribe with Nyaki?
Do you know how many people there are?
No, it's not realistic.
…………
If the policy of peaceful negotiation is consolidated by discussion tomorrow....
It's going to be a lot of trouble for me.
Personally, I can't negotiate peacefully.
――――――――
Run your thoughts.
"Lord Belzeggia....?"
"King Zeke"
Uh-huh.
I know nothing about the Prime Minister.
For the time being, this is...
Can you convoke Seven Glorious again?
You should meet him and talk to him right away.
Even if it moves... first, from there.
