Since arriving in the Imperial City, Lily had spent most of her time in the room she was given.

Crypt has been busily killed preparing for battle by the treatment of refugees and is barely able to speak.

On the other hand, it's strange because Francus is always with the lilies while he seems free.

"I really don't know if I can get sloppy in a place like this..."

Whenever I think of a cape that never returns, I feel more anxious.

I can't leave the capital on my own more than I have information that three Animas wearing Orihalcon are headed this way.

That time is definitely imminent.

But now it's too peaceful, it was something I couldn't help but get anxious.

"I can't help but think about it, now let's wait for Mr. Krypt to be able to do his time"

"Yeah......"

That's what Ellea tells you, but the lily's reaction isn't fragrant.

That was the time.

Someone opens the door without even knocking.

He showed up from the other side.

"Kissississi, you look fine."

I should have been in the border zone, it was Xenia.

When Francis got out of bed, he said, "Kinicia!," he jumps into his chest as he calls her name.

He took the body of the young girl, who had thrust in momentum, as he managed to curl.

"Oops...... you're really well. Do you have that much strength?

"I couldn't help it anymore, if Lily and Ellea weren't here, I might have died in my spare time!

"Well, that was a disaster. But you're going to be busy, because the kingdoms, they screwed up so much."

"What happened?

In response to Lily's inquiry, Kinesia answered with pleasure.

"You haven't heard from Crypto yet. The capital of the king of the kingdom of Orines has fallen, and only three animators have fallen."

"That's..."

Three cartoons, that would definitely be Sakase, Rinazaki and Yoshisei.

Before the Imperial Capital, he aimed for the Orines kingdom, which was easy to drop.

Moreover, to say that we have already attacked other countries, you should consider that the task of distributing the powder of Orihalcon to the King's people has been accomplished.

Things were getting worse.

"The Empire City will be next. Even if we pinch the rest, they'll attack us this night or tomorrow morning. I came back at the perfect time."

Indeed, the defense of the imperial capital is also important.

But what bothered me more than that - is that the kingdom of Orines is the home of the rabbi.

"Lily, shouldn't we tell him?

Lily nodded at Ellea's words, "I'll come through for a minute," she said, passing by Xynia's side to the next room.

He was a neck shaking Xenia, but he knew the situation as soon as he heard what Rabbi had to say when he popped out of the room after a while.

"Mr. Kinicia! Is it true that Oritia... Oritia fell!?

"Oh, surrender of the kingdom of Orines would be only a matter of time,"

"What about crochet?!?

"Was crochet a town in the northeast? I haven't heard of any damage other than Oritia so far, but why worry about a town like that?

"It's my hometown. My father and mother live there."

"Hey, were you from the kingdom of Orines? It was only a few hours ago that the invasion of the three Anima planes in question was confirmed, and it should have been the best we could have done just to plunge Oritia."

"Ha... good..."

The reassurance causes the force to fall out of the body and the rabbi collapses on the floor.

In the past, he smelled disharmony with his parents, but he's worried about something.

Lily sees him like that and thinks he'll make it.

I guess it's not really for war or killing people, you know?

Xynia looks at such a rabbi, and for a moment only, when she has a really rare and gentle grin, she turns to Lily and continues the conversation.

"I'm in a fight with Haylos Brass, too. There are three of them, and it's a delicate place to say how much you can protect the Empire."

"There's a strong one coming, and you're actually Kinicia, aren't you happy?

"Well, there's that too, Xysi. That said, as the Fourth General, the Empire and the people need to be protected."

Frances tilted his neck to Xynia, who would give him a slightly honorable return.

"Hmm, Xynia today, isn't it something creepy? Is something wrong?

Was it a picture star, Xynia turned her gaze away and gave a shadowy grin.

"As much as my troops call it the lawless zone (Laures), there's a bunch of people out there who can't be a glimmer. So to a certain extent, I was going to understand."

"I did something again."

"When I got back to the front line, Sheila was worn out. They've been using drugs from the kingdom. They can't talk properly."

Sheila is a woman near Xynia and was entrusted with command on the front line during her absence.

Kinesia was greatly adored because she was weak and moderate in character, but could do her job.

It was also very popular with troops, and light sexual harassment was not a routine tea meal.

"Uh... about Sheila, Kinesia, you liked it. Of course, the people who did it already killed him, didn't they?

"Of course not? I've killed all the men involved and fed the dead to the beast!

Xynia exposed her anger as she quenched her killer to the point where she had goosebumps.

The anger is directed at me, too.

There's no way they could have gotten their hands on Sheila, because she was getting high.

"Maybe it was for Sheila's treatment that I came back to Empire City?

"Ha... there's that, too, because it just annoys me that I was on the front line in the current troop situation. The exiled escorts came back."

"Does that mean that those displaced from the kingdom have already arrived in Empire City?

To Ellea's inquiry, Xynia shook her head vertically.

"Is that how you know Lily?

"Yes, I'm a student of the same school"

"So, does reunion mean at an ops conference? Crypto called, he said there's something we need to talk about before the battle."

◇ ◇ ◇

Four people, Lily, Ellea, Francus and Xynia, head to the conference room.

Rabbi stayed in his room saying he wanted to "calm down," I guess the fact that his native country was attacked, even though it wasn't his home town.

Although not as close as Lily was to the six people who had been in exile, tensions gradually increase as the conference room approaches.

They probably don't know the lilies are in exile to the Empire.

I couldn't help but wonder what kind of reactions they would take.

Okay, I'll open it.

When Kinesia opens the door - the crypt she was inside and the sight of six people concentrate on the door.

And the moment I saw the lily, they bothered.

"Red Wings...... how did you get here!?

The first to raise his voice of surprise was the men, Kiyoshi, each of the leaders.

"I wasn't killed by a white pack..."

Then Sasaki shrugs.

Apparently, it was meant to have been killed at the time he was chasing the Cape in the Wang capital, Caputo.

No, say it was, or I guess it was one of the theories.

Unlike the Cape, where there is clear evidence of escape, the lilies were gone at some point.

"Long time no see, guys. I hear there's been a lot of trouble in the kingdom."

"Oh, do you even know Red Wings about Orihalcon?

"Yeah, I did it directly with Wei Moon, too."

"You survived so well."

"Yeah, well, someone helped me."

As far as they're concerned, I don't seem to know that Lily was acting with the Cape.

So dare I, Lily clouded her words.

"I'm glad the trees aren't contaminated either."

"Thanks to you."

The conversation doesn't play very well.

I can't help it because I'm not the kind of person who has a lot to talk about.

"Let's be so happy to reunite, we don't have much time"

Encouraged by the crypt, the four people who entered the room sat down in the appropriate chair.

"Now, I think the reason for being summoned here is conjecture...... Oritia, the king's capital of the kingdom of Orines, has fallen. It's just three animators."

"Anima from Sakase, Rikizaki-kun, Yoshisei-kun."

Kira gave her three names with a nervous face.

"That's it, I want to hear the characteristics of those three animas. Even though you're haunting Orihalcon, doesn't that change you to your ability?

If you know what to do in advance, you might win even if your opponent was an overwhelming performance anima.

Crypt was betting his hopes on it.

"Please, I want you to tell me everything you know. That's what's going to happen to your lives and your deaths."

He speaks to six people in a more gentle tone than usual.

The first time I opened my mouth there was Umeno, who, unexpectedly, wasn't very good at talking.

"Ku, Anima in Sainse says," Spaces. Armed with fever, skills are like that... Wasn't it? Nagaho-kun "

"Yeah... Umeno-kun's, you were right. Skills also... have a fever all over their body, or something like that..."

"Well, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to put up a melee on an anima opponent named Spaces. Anything else?

This is followed by Kigure and Sasaki.

"Ridge's Anima says Gladiato, a melee anima with two swords"

"But you do have the skills to deviate from long-range arming. So in the end, I felt like I had to fight in the time I was good at Rikizaki."

"Ranged arming is useless, eh. Kississi, I don't think it's our turn."

"Right, you should deal with it around me and Xenia"

Because his name didn't come up, Frances let his mouth squirm in disgust.

But I can't help it because it doesn't look like a crypt.

Seeing her like that, Xynia gently strokes that head with a bitter laugh.

"Was the last one Yoshinari? What are the characteristics of his anima?

Encouraged, Kira starts talking.

Roppei remained nagging and did not try to talk at all.

My best friend, Anse (Ku), has been contaminated, and he hasn't recovered from that shock yet.

"Yoshisei-kun's Anima says Studium. It's a long distance, and it's a lot of arming to stop the opponent. The skills I possessed were also like blunting the anima movement around me."

"Do you mean you cover your bad melee with your skills? A lot of animals with reasonable abilities, that's what I call a summoner."

Having heard all the anima features, Crypto puts his hand on his chin.

The opponent has three planes, and it's the pinnacle of stupidity to deal with them at the same time.

I want to cut off as much collaboration as I can and deal with each other.

Then who and who to hit, that's the problem.

The Imperial forces are Animus and Anima, who have been stationed in the Imperial capital since the beginning, and 10 Anima users gathered in the conference room.

The Emperor's support is unlikely to be expected in that situation, and I don't think Viola will cooperate.

Their fighting power in exile is unknown, but it's hard to run a six-man set if you're thinking about working with this one.

"In the meantime, Gladiato is going to deal with me and Crypto, so what are we going to do with the other two planes?"

"Spaces' arming is a widespread attack… so I don't think we should be dealing with too many"

If you believe Nagaho's words, Spaces' opponents will decide for themselves.

"Then don't let Akabane, Ellea and the three Frances who will be there deal with you."

Lily and Ellea, whose names were raised, nodded clearly with a strong will in their eyes.

Frances is also in a good mood when his name finally comes up, and he smiles "heh heh".

"And Stoudium is going to have you deal with him, I'm sorry just as soon as he goes into exile. You're going to fight your people, but can you?

Crypto's words - five accepted, except for Roppei.

Roppei's mental state is not normal to see.

Krypt had noticed that since I saw her face, and she hadn't counted as a force from the start.

"Nothing makes you fight alone, it is only the soldiers of the Imperial Army who fight in the main"

"Still, you have to fight to survive, don't you? We'll do it too."

"Oh, well."

In the words of Tree Twilight, Krypt smiled unexpectedly.

In the first place, these five men were not addressed so much as a force of war, but how can it not seem that the liver rests on them?

This would not be a problem to make a breakthrough in harsh terms.

Then let's say it.

I didn't dare use it so far, in my usual crypto-like rhetoric.

"The kingdom of Orines is also in the hands of its enemies, and the situation is overwhelmingly unfavourable. But you can't lose. For the glory of the Empire, and for our own survival, let each one of us die. There must always be a victory ahead of us!

"Ha!"

Crypto grins with satisfaction again in a powerful reply from 5 people.

If you're ready to get that far, you might want to bump into Stoudium directly without saying backward support.

Crypt had that in mind.

Then the meeting ended so little that the occasion was dissolved.

Apparently Krypt leaves the conference room immediately with the displaced persons and leads them to the room and then to another discussion.

Kinesia also seems to follow him, "I won't leave him alone," he said.

The three remaining lilies, Errea and Francus, returned to the given room.

The castle is more hasty without heart or than yesterday, and the faces of the soldiers are more dangerous.

The lilies felt in their skin the feeling that the battle was approaching.
