Hee, that's what bothered you, Alphonse.

"Don't say that.I'm really worried about it. "

Ahahah. Sorry, sorry.So, I made Eye contact to talk to me about it.I knew it, I thought I was going to do that to Mr. Ars. "

"I thought about that, too.For some reason, I also wondered if this kind of consultation was a little different from that of Mr. Ars.When I asked, I felt like I could do whatever I wanted, and that kind of answer would come back.... "

Ah, you might say that.You look like your brother Ars. But I'm glad.I can't believe Alphonse bothered to talk to me. "

The Orient operation to secure the softwood tree was successful.

Afterwards, the Balkan mercenaries managed to paddle their ships desperately and return upstream to Orient Country against the flow of water.

Several attempts were made along the way, but we managed to escape.

And now I'm in a room in a mansion that I rent from Banaj.

So I decided to talk to people about what I had been worried about until I got back here.

Now I'm communicating with a distant person through Eye.

That person was one of my brothers, Brother Kyle.

Kyle's brother is an incredibly convenient magician, such as [a reminder], and has set up a noble family called the House of Reed to make the site of the sacred capital his own territory.

In other words, you own the land destroyed by Naja.

Kyle's brother may not have fought Najah directly, but he also has a detailed understanding of what I'm worried about and has consulted with him.

Incidentally, Elvis and I can't use [precious story].

So this is a conversation with Eye at Reed's.

"Um, so what?Norn the Magic Sword signed a blood contract with Alphonse, so if you suck people's blood, you can take away their magic, right?Wow, that's great.Speaking of which, was there no other magic in the meteor?

"Well, I guess I couldn't use magic other than Meteor .But it looks like I could use Ars' magic.After Norn took that blood, I could use magic like leveling , soil improvement , wall architecture . "

Wow, so the power of Norn is really similar to that of Naja's [Collection].

"That's right.After all, do you think Brother Kyle's power is dangerous?

Yes, of course I would be vigilant if someone with that ability were close to me.

"I see.That's right. "

But I also feel like I can't help it even if I don't care much.I mean, isn't that right? Where is Alphonse now?Oriental country, right?Even if Norn's powers weren't like that, I'd be in danger. "

"Is it dangerous to be seen?

"Of course, I think if you get stronger, you'll be relied on.But the stronger you get, the more dangerous you'll be.Absolutely. Therefore, it makes no sense to worry too much about Norn's power in that sense.So, I'm not Mr. Ars, but it's best to do what Alphonse likes, and I don't think there's anything else I can do. "

"... you mean there's no point in worrying?

Yeah, I suppose that's what I'm going to say.However, it might be better to hide for a while that if you suck blood, you can get the other person's magic.And then, yes...I think it's important to make a trusted ally from now on. "

"Trusted allies. Anyway, I have Eyes, Elvis, Ian, but...."

Yeah. I like it.But I think I want more.That's why I don't think the stronger Alphonse gets, the more allies won't betray him, the less he'll end up like Naja.Well, there's only one element of anxiety at a time when there's only about 100 fighters in the land that I didn't know before.I don't think it's worth talking about if we're going to be more effective in the East, rather than worrying if we're similar to Naja. "

Well, I guess so.

After consulting with Kyle's brother, he said that he cared too much and that he should increase his friends.

Kyle's brother, who ruled a land far from his hometown by his own power, was not persuasive.

Sure could be.

I don't even know if I'll make it back safely when I get out of the battlefield.

Rather than worrying about becoming like Naja, it's better to grow your friends.

But it's not as easy as it sounds.

It's not just about increasing the number of people.

That's why, as my brother Kyle said, we need more trusted allies who will never betray me.

"Okay, Kyle.I'll try my best to make a trusted ally. "

Good luck. Please feel free to contact me whenever you need more advice. "

Yeah, thanks.

All right, then, we just have to do something.

After interacting with Kyle's brother, I started moving quickly to find a new ally.
