Legend

Elaine opens her mouth as if to inadvertently mislead that air as the room fills with subtle silence.

"So, we're talking about rescuing His Highness Merclio, but what exactly are we going to do?

It was Elaine trying to move on, but she hasn't been able to delude her thin cheeks from turning red.

I tried to keep talking like that, but it was Theorem who hung up on it.

"Lord Elaine, regardless of your status as an adventurer of aliases like Ray, your lord is a courtier of the Duke of Kelevel. Isn't it harder to accompany us than it is?

A natural point in a way.

Theorem asked Ray to cooperate because Ray is only an adventurer.

There was no reason for Elaine, naturally an aristocrat, to accompany the Bestian Empire this time, more than it was.

But Elaine waves her head small and rejects the word she wants Theorem to shy away from any more.

"Surely I will not be able to accompany the Bestian Empire. It's true about that. But sometimes you can't because you can't accompany them."

Tell him that much and look back at Theorem from the front.

"Besides, you'd need insurance when something happened, wouldn't you?

"Huh!?

"Insurance?"

Insurance, breathtaking Vihera and Theorem whether you perceived anything in the word.

But Ray didn't seem to know what that meant, he asks tilting his neck.

"That's right. I hate to think about it, but what if His Highness Merclio's rescue fails? Or even if you succeed, what if you make mistakes in your subsequent actions? Naturally, including His Highness Merclio, there is a good chance that he will not be able to stay in the Bestian Empire"

"... well, sure"

Forced rescue of a closed royal family. If you make any mistakes about the choices you make afterwards, that would be deadly.

"That's when you need a place to evacuate, right?

"That... that the Duke of Kelp will be in charge?

"I can't be sure if I can. But it's possible to appeal to your father, and you have a good chance of winning. As for the kingdom of Mireana, it would be gratifying to hear that the Bestian Empire, the enemy nation, would be confused."

As a private Elaine, she will become the power of Vihera, a rival and friend around Ray, who will never speak, and as a principality she will cooperate in the fall of the imperial power of the Bestia Empire as the Duke of the Kingdom of Mireana.

It was never a bad thing this time across the public and private sectors.

That's why I decided to cooperate.

"Most of all, all I can do is work on my father. If my father says no, he won't be able to cooperate."

While Elaine had told him so, she had decided that her own father, who was in the status of Duke of Kelevel, could not have missed the matter.

Confusion has broken out in the Bestian Empire, which has also been a long-standing enemy, and it may be possible to create a handover if it works even better.

(Ning Ro, there is no doubt that you will strike some kind of hand to ensure the handover. You will also be in close contact with the neutral Lord Dusker)

In this case, the neutrals also have a major role to play.

Ray, who is seen precisely as the central figure of the Neutralists, is Daskar's katana.

Naturally, then, it will be the neutrals who will benefit most in this matter, and, in the second place, the aristocracy to which Elaine belongs.

And nothing will benefit you because there are no factions on this scene, the Kings.

Most of all, the Kings still overwhelm the aristocrats and the neutrals when it comes to their present forces.

The Neutralists also made a big name for themselves in the Spring War, but still only once in a war.

Think that far, shake your head small if you're not thinking that now, and again Elaine opens her mouth.

"So, do you mind if I listen here?

"... Dear Vihella"

Vihera nods that there is no problem with Theorem asking with her gaze.

"Elaine wouldn't have to worry. Whatever happens, I'm not gonna sell us."

I get permission from Vihella, and it was still Teolame who was lost for a few seconds, but eventually I just start explaining that I can't help it.

"As I said earlier, I would like Ray to do the role that he would have planned to have Lady Vihella do if it had been him. Specifically, I'd like you to compete as a deep red in the fight, which opens in the fall about two months from now."

"Martial Arts Games?

Surprisingly return words.

Take the lead in launching a raid against a place where Merclio is locked up. I just thought they'd say that, but what came out of Theorem's mouth was to compete in a martial arts tournament, so I couldn't help it.

"That's right. The Empire Capital of the Bestian Empire hosts a major martial arts competition once a year. There are enough participants and guests from home and abroad to participate in it. Naturally, the consciousness of the castle people will be directed to the martial arts competition, and the guards and the soldiers will have to concentrate their consciousness there. Especially if it's the final, most of the Heavy Towns of the Bestian Empire will be there, starting with the Emperor."

So much so that Ray could also understand how Theorem was trying to rescue Merclio.

"I see, so go see the finals and attack the castle where the power has diminished and rescue His Highness Merclio"

"Yes."

Theorem agrees with Ray's whining, and Elaine, who was listening to it, asks again.

"I mean, does Ray's role just have to be to win a fighting tournament?

"It will. However, since the martial arts tournament does not allow the use of obedient demons, it will be a battle without the help of Griffon... Is there a problem?

"... can't you be the devil?"

"Oh, I've had people die in the past, including in the audience. As a result, including summoning magic, was banned at the martial arts tournament. … there is also a reason why the spectators of the Fighting Games want to see it only be a battle between people, and the stakes involved."

I see, and nodding Ray.

I guess it certainly doesn't suit my taste that monsters fight for those who come to enjoy the battle between humans.

"Doesn't mean you can't take your obedience all over the city, does it?

"That's okay. There are quite a few Tamers and Summoners in the Empire."

"Then there's no problem"

To be honest, there are a lot of dissatisfactions about not being able to fight with Seto.

But I'm convinced that there's no point in making a scene here, beyond the fact that there's nothing I can do about it if I say it.

"In Ray's case, it doesn't mean he's weak without Seto, and he's gonna be fine."

Vihera whines so confidently, too.

As a person who seriously fought Ray the day before and lost without being able to inflict injury on Loc as a result, I am not lost in telling you so.

"Then the story would have been largely settled. Ray, hurry up, but you better get back to the guild and get Lord Dusker permission to do this. I'll write you a letter to let you know what's going on, so you can take it."

"You don't use a pair of orbs?

Wouldn't it be better to explain the situation in a direct pair of orbs than to speak in a letter? Elaine with a small, surprising look on Ray's words like that.

"Sure..."

For Elaine, there was a perception that a pair of orbs was a magic item to have a conversation with Ray at a remote location.

That's what I've been diving into the dungeon for, so I guess it was becoming stereotypical in a way.

"... I envy you"

Vihera squeaks in a potpourri watching how Ray and Elaine are doing like that.

It is Theorem who gives a suprising look at the way it is for a moment.

If you try Teolame, Vihela is someone who only lived to gain strength and fight a stronger opponent.

I had been told from that mouth that I was in love with Ray, but still something like this I actually heard and realized?

"Exquisitely, the opponent you think is Ray's superior...... you were Larks Borderline Uncle. Be careful not to let that nobleman deprive you of your opponent's orb. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad there's a better gap."

I laugh and tell you like a prank, but the words weigh deeply.

In fact, being able to have conversations away from home has a very strong advantage in this world.

As few of the nobles possess it.

It's less rare than what the Alliance Master has, something he can call with multiple people unlike a pair of orbs, but it's still not so easy to get.

Of course, as a nobleman, some noblemen forcefully collected such a convenient magic item that it was unbearable to keep it exclusive to the Alliance alone.

However, as a result, the Adventurer Alliance turned that nobility into a hostile opponent to the Alliance, and went out to the means of withdrawing all the Alliance from its noble territory, which no longer had monsters or bandit crusades or harvesting system requests, paying the Alliance a great deal of compensation and settling.

It is said that the amount of that indemnity amounted to 80% of the property the nobility had, and has naturally also been returned in respect of the orbs taken from the Alliance Master.

But Elaine nods in such a way as not to worry at all.

"Lord Dusker is not such a tyrannical imitator.... There's no way Lord Dusker, who knows Ray's strength as an adventurer, could do that. If you want to fight Ray badly, that's what you see in the Spring War."

"... I did see that sight from afar. Honestly, I don't think I want to fight anyone who creates that kind of sight."

Theoreme agrees with Elaine from the bottom of her heart, with a clever imitation of floating two sighs and a bitter smile at the same time.

You could have said that that fire whirlwind alone had already determined the victory or defeat of the war.

There was still something I could do about it militarily, but there was no way I could maintain the morale of a soldier who was shown a sight in front of me that only seemed to be a natural disaster... and there was nothing I could do about it when I was attacked by a confused front force.

"Heh, I was only listening to you... you were so awesome. I would have liked to have seen it on the battlefield if I could... but I would have been in Exile by then."

If you were to take part in the war in that state, it would be an Eggzil adventurer. That would naturally result in participation in the war on the part of the Kingdom of Mireana.

No matter how much Vihera could challenge the battle against the country in which it was born and raised, it was in the end a no-touch when it came to war.

I guess there was also a reason why I couldn't leave Bühne alone.

Most importantly, if Vihella were to participate in the war as a force on the side of the Kingdom of Mireana, some of the commanding classes on the side of the Bestian Empire would be confused and confused, and the possibility that the war would have ended sooner could not be denied.

"At least I don't want to see it up close in person. In fact, because many of those who survived that war and returned to the empire cannot sleep well in their dreams. … but if you can act as an ally's power more than that, you can count on it."

"... on that matter"

Two, Ray, who speaks up by trying to interrupt the story of Vihera and Theorem.

Open your mouth as you feel two gazes gather on you.

"You don't mind expecting the right kind of reward more than taking a request as an adventurer, do you?

"Well, you do need a reward if you're going to get a request as an adventurer.... Hey, there's something better than no more rewards, so what?

Rejected.

Elaine dismisses it before Vihera speaks of anything more.

From that tone, I guess I could easily imagine what it was like to be the reward that Vihella spoke of.

"Hey, what is it? You can give me a little."

"Unfortunately, I'm not willing to give in."

With a glimpse of how it is towing each other, Theolame asks toward Ray, trying not to worry about it.

"So, what exactly do you want from a reward? Even this one, I will try my best to help Ray more than I can."

"... right, when it comes to the request, that means we're going to compete in the Fall Fight Games to rescue His Highness Merclio, right?

Theorem snorts silently at Ray's inquiry.

Looking at it, Ray opens his mouth thinking for a few seconds.

"Then get me some magic items. I think you should hire me to rescue His Highness Merclio... 'Cause I'm not saying what you really want from me."

Was the word unexpected even for Theorem, a moment of surprise, lightly opening his eyes but eventually troubling him with a difficult face?

Anyway, it's the magic item you deserve to rescue your own master. If you give me the cheap stuff now, it will mean that for Theorem, a person named Merclio is only worth that much.

Or, if this were a shameless nobleman, it would have been some who could have done with one potion.

But I can't imitate that for a prized theolame.

"... ok. I'll keep an eye on everything here."

In the end, I just had to put it that way.
