Legend

2063 words

Time returns, the courtyard of the marina's house where Seto flew.

The marina, which confirms Seto broke through a simple junction, opens her mouth.

"I'll tell Dusker what's going on soon. You guys can go to sleep... what do we do?

"I'll come with you. If you want to talk to Lord Dusker about this, you can talk to him."

It was Elaine who immediately replied to Marina's words.

And the fact that Elaine is headed to the Lords' Hall naturally means that Ara will also act together.

Against those two, Vihera goes back inside the house, pulling Biune's hand.

"I'm going to get some sleep. Beaune needs to sleep properly, too. However, if anything happens, just wake me up right away. Let me take care of this one."

"... mmm..."

The half-sleep-eyed Bühne is taken, whining briefly as Vihella draws her hand.

You can still say it's a child. If you try to be a beaune, I guess this time of night is hard to be awake.

Most of all, if you are in the process of exploring a dungeon or working as an adventurer, you will be able to switch to some extent.

"Yes, I get it. So, what about Zozo?

'I'll go, too. Master Ray will come back to you, won't he?

"Yeah, it probably will."

"Bye."

Having said that, Zozo explains the situation to Gaga...... eventually says something with a tired look, which translates.

"Well, Brother Gaga, he wants to go with you."

"Huh? Gaga too?... That said, the carriage that Gaga can ride..."

Marina was going to run away instead of using a carriage if she was going alone.

But Elaine's going to be traveling by carriage, but when Gaga goes with him, it's hard to see if everyone gets in the carriage.

Nevertheless, it was Trent's Forest that Ray headed for.

In other words, since the Grand Dragonian Empire is more than likely related, I didn't think it would be such a bad choice to take that third prince Gaga.

... but the only biggest problem was whether Gaga could get in the carriage.

"Whatever, let's get a carriage ready. If not, would Gaga have to walk around or wait until a dedicated carriage arrives?

'That's okay. You walk around if you have to, and you say,' That's what I mean. '

Elaine nods and turns her gaze to Ara when she hears Gaga's answer in Zozo's interpreter.

No matter what you say, Ara understood everything with only her gaze and quickly prepared herself for the carriage...

"Surprisingly, you can handle it."

I see Gaga in the carriage, and I tell him so.

Most importantly, Elaine's carriage is a substitute made exclusively by the Duke of Keller, and the interior space is expanded by space magic.

Thanks to this, Gaga was able to ride safely.

Gaga also struggled quite a bit when getting into the carriage.

'What the hell is this...?

Zozo is surprised to see a wider interior space than the carriage he obviously looked around from the outside.

No, that's the same with Gaga, who rarely looked around in the carriage.

(There is no such thing as spatial magic in the Grand Dragonian Empire? If there is, it is not strange that the thirteenth prince Zozo has seen the third prince Gaga.)

Watching Zozo and Gaga like that, Elaine wonders.

By Ara, who serves as your lord, the carriage was now on its way to the Lords' Hall.

Fortunately, from what I've seen from the window, few of the residents of Gilm are outside.

Even if they are, they are the only ones who seem to be drunk and fluttering.

Elaine relieves herself knowing that apparently Seto's ringing had not been heard so far either.

Lord Dusker will be in a big hurry by now.

"Right. All of a sudden the junction was broken. … but if you explain the situation around here, Dusker will be able to convince you right away."

It's because I've known Dusker since I was a little girl that Marina fully understood what Dusker was capable of.

That's how they talked, but there's a lot of anxiety in it.

Ray's strength and even Seto are with him, so there's absolutely no problem with the force.... Yellow wouldn't mind putting it into battle, either, as it might be a shield replacement with its sturdy body for once.

Still, I'm more worried than it is about the man I love.

If it's always the case, there's nothing to worry about that much.

But one of the things that happened tonight was that at midnight, Seto sounded so loud that it sounded all around him.

It's not very, but it's not a normal event.

I mean, that's more than likely the danger.

"... with that said, it's going to be tough tomorrow when you're going to stay awake."

Half the marina is forced to change the subject in an attempt to switch the heavy air that drifts between us.

Elaine also nods and opens her mouth to such marina care.

"I, for once, tomorrow...... no, today? Anyway, I just have one interview with a nobleman in the morning, isn't the marina harder than me?

"Right. When I'm working on an extra building, I really get injured.... some people get hurt fighting."

"That's the same with the Knights. That's how we often deepen our rapport."

"Brother Gaga, that's not the case... because everyone is upset with Brother Gaga."

Zozo enters into a conversation between Elaine and Marina.

To those zozozo words, the two of you who see Gaga.

All of a sudden Gaga, seen, just doesn't understand the words, just returns her gaze in wonder.

And when Zozo asks me why I'm being seen, I laugh proudly.

With such interaction, the carriage proceeded...... eventually arrived at the Lords' Hall.

The gatekeepers will also be on guard if, naturally, they are the ones who came by carriage at midnight like this.

But if Ara is the one doing your job, and Elaine, Marina, Zozo, and Gaga are all there, there's no reason to push her back.

Not to mention, if the marina tells me we need to talk about the junction, the option of not informing Dusker does not exist... one line will meet at the training ground.

Naturally, that was because Gaga had difficulty getting inside the mansion.

If I can't, I guess I can get in, but that would make Gaga feel cramped.

Rather than that, it's still a decision that we should talk somewhere we can slow down.

... Originally, it would be cold if it were spring or midnight, but with the spiritual magic of the marina, I don't care about the area.

In fact, the training ground was so comfortable that it didn't seem like a night.

"Well, so at this hour...... that too, what brings you here in this situation? You said it had something to do with the world?

Dusker asks in a slightly unpleasant way.

If I try to be a dusker, I'm woken up by the fact that they suddenly broke the line in the middle of the night, and all of a sudden the marinas came where they were trying to gather information and deal with it.

On top of that, if it had anything to do with the juncture, there was no way Marina was involved in this one, and it was more impossible to say not to be grumpy.

"Yeah. I'll just say straight in. It was Seto who broke the line."

"... I mean, Ray?

Neither does Dusker think Seto will break the line on his own.

In other words, someone instructed him to do it, and if he became one who could give such instructions to Seth, there would be only one.

"Yes."

Marina snorts lightly at that word of Dusker, too.

But Dusker's position is not to leave it alone.

"Needless to say to the marina, the junction is a substitute for keeping monsters out of the sky and out of the gilms. Especially now, the connections are weakened in the midst of additional construction.... Having learned that, is this the case?

"That's right. Actually, I don't know if I deserve the expression...... today, but all of a sudden in the middle of the night Seto made a loud noise. That, too, is a bit like I've never heard before."

"... what happened?

Dusker knows a lot about Seto, too.

I don't usually deal with them, but I also acted with them when I used to participate in wars and martial arts meetings with the Bestian Empire.

Also, reports from guilds are coming up, and I often read that.

So I had no idea Seto would do that for nothing.

"I don't know the details. It's just... I'm pretty sure Seto was staring at one place. And it's in the direction you were looking at..."

So once the words are cut, Marina turns her gaze to Zozo and Gaga and then opens her mouth again.

"Trent Forest"

If you look at the marina, you can easily understand what you've been thinking.

And having Zozo and Gaga would also be clear evidence in this case.

"Something happened in the Trent Forest?

"I can't say for sure.... It's just not weird to think so when you look at Seto. You know that Dusker is also out of standard in many ways, right?

If you say so, you can't deny that word even as a dusker.

How capable Ceto actually is, because that is what I know by reading several reports or, above all, looking at them with my own eyes.

"Right. I can't deny that. Especially now, because it's not weird what happens in Trent Forest."

Dusker glances at Zozo and Gaga and then tells him so.

In fact, no matter what happens in the present situation, it's no wonder that Lizardman and the Green Man are transferring more than they do every day.

... but then I wonder what the hell is going on this time.

"In the meantime, should we do people to the Trent Forest from me, too?

"Right. It would help if you did. I just don't know what's gonna happen in Trent Forest... No, you don't know what's happening? Why don't we just take the adventurer with us?

"I don't deny that..."

This is simply a matter of fitness, not because I don't trust the skill of Dusker's knights.

The knight is strong in battle, and if he imitates the kind of Lizardman who has transferred to the Trent Forest coming at him, it's not hard to deal with.

But it was also true that if something was going on outside the fight, the adventurer would be easier to deal with.

It is significant that adventurers are routinely asked to do a wide variety of things around here.

Nevertheless, there is also a reason why Dusker can't snort right at Marina's suggestion.

If this was just the time of the night, it wouldn't be that hard to prepare adventurers.

But it's midnight now.

That's not so strange that almost all of them are asleep.

That's why it was difficult to prepare adventurers in the present situation.

It also needs to be someone you can trust, both competently and personally, given the current situation.

"That's hard. I can't fit in, and now I let a few knights and soldiers head to the Trent Forest. Besides, you should get in touch with the guild. Tomorrow...... no, it's already today. Today's deforestation in Trento could be impossible."

Dusker's words had bitter colors.

In the gilm under construction, there are not enough building materials using Trento forest trees.

Like every day, it's logged, but it's still about whether or not the supply catches up with demand.

If you take a day off from your logging job, that will undoubtedly also affect the progress of the additional construction work.

I'm pretty sure there's no greater impact here than a day or two behind, which is a job that takes years to do.

Still, Dusker's position was that he didn't want to imitate delaying construction as much as he could.

Though it is a bitter decision than Seto felt something, he still decides that logging of trees may need to be stopped for a while, so to speak.

"It's not like I don't even know what Dusker feels like, but we'd better find out what's going on in Trent Forest right now."

"If you're going under Master Ray, I'd like to go, too."

Zozo, who was listening to Marina and Dusker, argues so in letters written on the tablet.

If you try zozozo, they left you on Ray only because Zozo can't keep up with the flying ceto.

For example, if you are going to Trent Forest in any other way than flying... to where Ray is, it was only natural that you would want to accompany me to it.

"No, but..."

"Why don't you let me go? What if something happened in the Trent Forest and the reason for it was the Grand Dragonian Empire? If that's the case, Zozo will help."

Isn't that what Marina told you, and Elaine should do that too? If I were told, I could only snort eventually as a dusker.
