Lead the other world.

6-9 In the Holy City of Astrea 4

Then, sitting down on the bench, Takumi told Gannon to visit various cities and to start by going inside the elves.

Then Takumi didn't miss it when Gannon clouded his expression.

"What's wrong?

"Oh... I thought I'd warn you about one thing..."

Gannon exhaled loudly and narrowed his eyes, a little surprised to be seen through his heart. The Gannon's eyes were filled with anger to see if he remembered anything.

"Kiryu. Don't go to Radatome."

Rather than a warning, Takumi was a little surprised to see the side of Gannon being ordained.

(That's quite enough because this guy who's usually warm usually tells me not to go with this look...)

"Reason…. Can I ask you something?

In time I was going to visit Radatome as well. Takumi asked me why I shouldn't go for now before I thought about it, and even though I was sorry if I didn't want to talk to Gannon much.

After Takumi's inquiry, Gannon sighed as if he'd given up after vacating for a while.

"Well, that's what I started to say... Let's talk a little bit about old times."

"I'm sorry for something..."

"Don't worry about what?"

Gannon smiled back bitterly to apologize with Takumi's seemingly sorry look on his face, and began to talk with a distant eye.

"I was the former Deputy Knights Commander of the Knights of Radatome..."

Not yet well acquainted with Gannon, Takumi opened her eyes and continued to listen to Gannon's words in surprise but silence.

"It used to be good when I was just too young to join the Knights of Radatome... Protect the people of the city and interact with each other and with the rest of the city."

"Did you also interact with the St. Knights of Astrea or something?

"Oh, there it is. Not until about twenty years ago..."

Gannon's expression clouded again.

"Something... happened?

"Ah. Was it about twenty years ago... It just suddenly changed. The Knights Commander."

"Did you turn into a different person?

"No, people haven't changed. One day my attitude suddenly got harsher and I felt like I couldn't afford it anywhere. Then he refused to interact with the St. Knights of Astrea and the rest of the city just to protect the city by the forceful instructions of the Knights Commander, strengthened his military power, and his weapon research flourished, and the Empire Radatome isolated."

Hearing Gannon's story, Takumi came up with one more question.

"Such a forceful thing...... Wasn't there anyone to disagree with?

Gannon's face was strong in Takumi's words.

"Of course I was there. They were all killed to show off."

"Become..."

Takumi was just stunned by the words of Gannon, who was told to hold his fist on his knees and squeeze it away.

"And was it about fifteen years ago? He was deputy chief of the Knights. I got a report. There's a content one that says that all the Knights of Radatome and all their families who conducted the operation died attacking a family that lives with four husbands and two children of that woman who retired as a former adventurer and strange power beast and human half woman and adventurer who lives in Mates... That captain ruined a family living in peace in search of that power without me knowing anything about it..."

Takumi sounded familiar with its content, which was spoken in a trembling manner with Gannon's anger.

"Then I fled Radatome, thinking I was bad for my men's Knights. I was still young... no, I still couldn't stand it..."

"Mr. Gannon...... The Meeriels...... right?

"Huh!?

Surprised Gannon saw Takumi sitting next to him and shook himself for a moment.

Takumi had cold, sharp eyes, and even from Gannon I could tell that Takumi was dampening the anger that seemed to overflow.

"How do you know that name?

When Gannon asked that in alarm of Takumi, whose atmosphere had suddenly changed, Takumi replied quietly without changing his expression in contact with Gannon.

"Sino-Mieriel, now he's named Shino. She's one of our most valued friends, the sister of a child caught in that case."

Gannon was just stunned by Takumi's words.

"The reason Mr. Gannon said not to go to Radatome...... I get it. I'll keep that in mind as a leader."

"Ah, ah..."

Pushed by Takumi's temper, Gannon could only gavel like that.

And then Takumi started talking while he shut up and stood up off the bench and showed Gannon his back.

"Mr. Gannon...... I see you didn't order it, and I can no longer stand it. So if you meet Shino again, don't ever talk about it in front of her."

Grabbing his fist, Gannon, who saw Takumi as angry as he could tell from behind, answered albeit under barometric pressure.

"Okay. I promise."

"Excuse me. I don't feel like talking any more... Sorry......"

Gannon had no words to give back to Takumi, who was leaving behind, but to shut up and drop him off behind.
