Having finished eating in the castle, I visited Gio's house.
His house was in the eastern district of the city.
There are many black-haired leopard tribes here.
It must be a cluster of Shadowblades.
Seras is not with us.
Geo says, "I want to talk to you alone.”
It is a big house that stands out, whether it is chiefly or four-battle brilliant.
Yelma greeted me and let me through.
When I entered the back room, Geo sat deep in a large chair.
The candlestick on the wall is blurring the room.
Sit on a recommended chair.
I turned down alcohol and got my story straight to the point.
"... and I'm thinking."
Geo finished telling the secret story.
"Did you talk to the walrus... I mean, plus...?"
"If this succeeds, tomorrow's majority vote won't matter anyway."
"Who else is likely to be on the plan?"
"If the result of the majority vote is not what I want, I'm going to take a look at the situation and bring it to Kyle and Armia."
So you decide which one you voted for and which one you want to talk to.
"Where's Lord Coronico?"
"He's on Lizzie's side.The Dorans owe Arakne a great deal. I know exactly what it is. "
That's what I thought when I talked about coronico at the training ground.
"How does Geo see the majority vote tomorrow?For example, how about Lord Kiir? "
"... I think it's the side to fight.When his tribe was still out there, they were hunted by humans.Mutations in Centaurs? I wonder if it's something like that.Those blue skin and forehead prints are unusual, and they say they're the only thing that characterizes the Mail tribe. "
"It is therefore highly likely that we recognize human beings as dangerous beings."
I'm stepping on it.
But the Mail story is still just an old story.
Lizzie's persuasive ingredients that stubbornly believe in "now” are weak.
…………
The neck is still the strength of Lizzelotte Onyk's influence in this country.
The majority of the people probably have a strong trust in Lizzie.
Kyle is aware of it, so he won't answer strongly - maybe he won't answer.
"How about Lord Armier?"
"He can't read. However... recently, there was an egg laying in his Lynx clan."
It seems that Lamia leaves offspring behind in laying eggs.
A giant wooden bowl of liquor.
He exhaled with alcohol and said.
"Maybe the key is how Armia sees it.He doesn't seem to think at first sight, but he's surprisingly strong in his beliefs and thoughts.I don't just hate small, difficult stories, but I don't understand them.And he's good at hiding it. "
That's why I'm able to do four fights, and Geo drinks again.
"Surely she's the right person to talk to.By the way, King Zeke and Lord Gratla... how do they look? "
"Your Majesty and Gratla will not participate in the majority vote."
I've never heard of this before.
"I knew it a little before you came here.It is said that His Majesty will follow the result of the majority vote.And when Glattra followed His Majesty's advice... well, Glattra declared it from the beginning.That's why it was a majority vote by the other five. "
"When it comes to..."
Geo chooses the side to fight.
As it stands, Kill is more likely to fight.
Liise is determined by the peaceful negotiating side.
As I heard, I'm sure Kokoronico agrees with Liise.
"Will Lord Armier hold the key?"
"By now, I may be going to Armia, the one from Lizzie, to persuade her again...."
"Do you think you'll be persuaded?"
"I don't know. I don't think I can read what Armia thinks either.That's why I was still worried about Liise.As I said earlier, Armia is an unusual stubborn man who hardly puts his beliefs to the surface.That's why Lizzie doesn't like Armia either.I don't have an attitude. "
Out of the question, Armia broke out of the meeting as my guide...
Was she the one who didn't like Lizzie?
"That's why I don't know what the majority vote will be tomorrow.Ah, yes... I haven't told you about this yet - but if we're going to fight, Arakne is thinking about leaving this country. "
"Aren't they the only ones who can handle the ancient magic tools that make this country last?"
The point is, it's a threat.
Intelligent red eyes catch me.
"After hearing the opinions of the” uninvited guests ”who appeared in the second meeting, Lizzie became anxious about the majority vote tomorrow.For example, around Kill, I felt a change of heart after listening to you.Your Majesty, too. The first time I had a meeting, I had the impression that I was emotionally close to Lizzie, but I think I was quite shaken by your opinion.That's why I chose not to participate and entrusted it to the seven remaining glories...After the first meeting, I was the only one who made it clear that we should fight. "
How influential was my opinion? [M]
But....
This guy, Geo, is observing a lot.
It's not just a strong fight.
"As for Liise, the unexpected flies came in and the wind direction became suspicious."
"So Lizzie somehow felt who was going to vote for which one.And I understood. The key is Armia. "
The low roar of the beast rang deep in Gio's throat.
A pleasant - or ironic - laugh.
I don't think that Armia will be the key to the future.
"If Arakne leaves, for this country..."
"It hurts. It's not just knowledge of ancient magic tools and home affairs.If you have a chance to negotiate with someone outside, Lizzie will be the first to do it. "
You're buying her abilities.
"Actually, he's good."
"But... if you're a negotiator, maybe you'll be one too?"
"I bleed easily on my head... and when I get cut, my hands turn bright red in front of me.In that regard, Lizzie's behavior is intense, but she will never do it.Besides, I don't think you've seen him, but he can behave properly with that.Above all... Liise is the best way to twist the opponent down with logic.If you only talk to your opponent without violence... maybe I'll be relieved if Lizzie stays on her side in this situation.On the assumption that the policy is consistent, but... "
Geo held a cup with both hands and saw something.
"But I don't know... now is the time to be together, but my friends are breaking apart... even if there are horses that don't suit me, I have to move together in these times... but somehow... I'm sorry about the people in this country who depend on us."
Geo Shadow Blade takes it seriously.
I think about it.
About the people of this country.
It's the tone that makes me nervous.
I am also a personality person.
Anyway, I get it.
I told you.
"Tomorrow's majority vote will be Lord Armier's key."
"... there's nothing wrong with the direction of battle.Thanks to Armia, I don't really know which way to fall. "
After all, there is a unique sense of distance between the four brilliant fighters.
Basically, it's not a bad relationship.
But I don't feel that it fits perfectly.
But....
That's why there's no sense of unity in times like this.
It feels like individuals are moderately independent while living in the same country.
It may be a characteristic of a country where other races are mixed.
"Now, if it is a peaceful negotiation proposal proposed by Liise....."
"We'll have to decide what we just talked about.To protect this country. "
That's what Geo said, staring into the void.
…………
But perhaps the plan...
Weird (...) I (...) I (...) also (...) have (...), weird (...) et al.
I learned about Geo's idea earlier.
On top of that, rethink the plan again.
In my head - I'll assemble it.
rebuild.
Solve the problem to the nearest result.
The formula that points to the vest.
――――――――
... this is an absolutely impossible way to guarantee.
You could say that in a cruel way.
There are a lot of uncertainties... too many.
So this isn't realistic?
Impossible?
No, it's not.
”I have to try. I don't know."
It should be worth it.
Yes, if you want the best, the status quo is only here (...).
At least that's all I can think of right now.
▽
After leaving Gio's house, I started walking alone on a cobblestone.
▽
Returning to the room provided in the castle,
"Welcome back, my lord."
Serus was sitting on the bed.
"Now we can talk toca."
After all, I've hidden my real name since I came to the last country.
Are you sure?
"Don't leave me alone. There's no sign of anyone listening outside the door."
Have you gained trust?
There are no soldiers in front of the room now.
By the way, she's in another room.
Pigi Maru and Sleigh are in the same room as Nyaki.
There were rooms for all of us.
Don't do that! "Nyaki thinks the Lord and the others should occasionally spend some time alone!"That's why Nyaki wants another room!
Nyaki stubbornly refused to share the room with us.
So I let Piggy Maru and Sly go with me for now.
As Nyaki's escort.
Besides, I'll miss you in the room alone...
I took off my mask.
"How were you?Did you talk to Gratla? "
"Yes, I was wondering if you could get a good idea of each army that led the Fourth World War."
A majority vote tomorrow.
Gratla has expressed her disapproval.
Seras has no right to participate.
It is unlikely to be an act of persuasion in anticipation of tomorrow.
So Glattra wouldn't have been so vigilant either.
"Did you talk to her?"
"She has a serious temperament, but a kind heart.The first time I saw him, he was stabbed because he thought we posed a threat to the king. "
According to Gratla's personal story, she is also a little bad at expressing emotions.
Serrus came in for a chat tea and talked to Glattra.
Of course I asked for it.
This last country, with the exception of the Guards of Gratla,
Snake Huang
Ryuko Corps
Leopard Huang Corps
Horse Huang Corps
These four regiments are the main battle force.
"The size of the four armies is about 800."
Divided into roughly 200 troops for each regiment.
"Some of the soldiers will be able to fight if they don't belong to them."
Well, some fighter-oriented monsters don't belong in the army.
The kingdom of subhumans and monsters.
I don't know...
It's a feeling of being inside the Demon King army such as games.
I heard from Seras about the strength of each regiment.
The content is consistent with the information obtained from Geo.
"Does Geo have the best command skills?"
According to Lord Gratla's reputation,
"... okay. Thank you, Seras."
"How was it?"
"Where to move, I'm going to move."
Take a breath and sit next to Seras.
"It's up to you tomorrow."
Serrath smiles and peeks modestly at me next door.
Are you tired?
"... that's just a little bit."
"Naturally, Lord Toka is not taking a decent break today."
"I took a little break from dinner."
Because I was wearing a mask, I took dinner alone in this room.
Serrus was picked up in the cafeteria with the yaki.
How about a bath?
I haven't... yet.
I see.
Say it, and I'll fall back to bed.
It feels soft and comfortable.
…………
... it's too comfortable.
It's not good.
It feels good and looks like I'm going to sleep like this.
"Seras"
"Yes"
"Sleep a little. Wake me up after 30 minutes."
"Wouldn't it be nice if you took a rest like this?"
"I can't say I'm that clean right now... if I sleep with you in this bed, it's your fault."
While sitting, Serrus twisted his hips and turned to me.
"I don't care, do I?"
"I care."
Seras laughs bitterly.
I'll wake you up in 30 minutes.
"Sorry."
"No"
"Don't thank me, but you can kiss me while I'm sleeping."
"If you say that, you mean it."
"If you want to, if you want to.It's not going to decrease. "
I was still staying at Erica's house.
Actually, I got a confession from Seras about the "case."
That's what happened in the cave in the demonic band.
Seras Ashlein kissed me asleep.
It's kind of like the title of Lanove, but anyway, that's what happened.
Seras felt guilty about his actions at the time.
So, one night...
He confessed his sins with his apology.
And I revealed what I actually knew about it.
I also told her that I didn't care.
I also told you why I didn't care.
I don't care because I like Seras.
So...
I also confirmed that I felt the same way about each other.
I also made my own assumptions about my weak reaction to sexual elements of the opposite sex.
And, well, in that case...
I'm in the bath with you.
Our relationship was changing.
Selas began to jerk off.
"---... what's wrong?"
... sleepy.
"As I told you earlier... I'm still in the bath."
…………
Your eyelids are falling...
"The baths seem to be open at all times.Well... it's up to you tomorrow, so how about today... slowly? Together. "
…………
"... have you already taken a rest?"
Gently saying that, there was a sign of Seras floating his hips.
My body feels like a blanket.
"Seras"
"Ah! Ah, yes!"
Serrath's blatant voice.
"... if you want to come in with me, just go to sleep for a while."
"Ah-ah, you're up, aren't you?But I'm sorry... I'm surprised.Ah, here we go - I'll get ready. "
That's where my consciousness fell.
▽
The next morning.
Wake up in the darkness.
Immediately beside him, Seras is sleeping.
He is rounding his exposed shoulders and shrinking his body.
Very quiet sleep.
I mean, I've been thinking about it for a long time...
He's really resting quietly.
I wake my upper body.
I'll lift the blanket so it hangs around Serrath's shoulder.
…………
Fatigue has been removed.
It was chilly when I came out of the blanket in the current state.
I put on my jacket and saw a pocket watch.
I look at the window as it is.
It still seems that the ancient magic equipment for morning time is lit up.
Quiet, very quiet.
Well...
I got the information I needed to grasp.
The part that was supposed to move moved.
"I hope you carry it well."
