When Eyne returned to the castle on her way to the airship, she was asked, as a matter of course, why she had left the castle.

In addition, Dill said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience..." and felt a sense of tragedy as if he was about to cut his neck and apologize.He realized that something had happened to him and he left his seat because of Ein.

However, Ein just told everyone that it was a sudden job, and repeatedly apologized.

... but everyone didn't take it exactly as it was said.

It is not a concealable situation in the first place, and many people move when the airship is in an emergency.

Also, it was impossible to hide all the knights because they had fallen.

Still, Ein was supposed to be able to clean up after herself somehow.

He contacted many engineers, including Roland.

― ― ― It was three days after that commotion that things moved so much.

"What the hell?"

At dawn that day, Ain woke up on the bed.

Krone, who was sleeping regularly next to her, noticed the movement and slowly lifted his heavy eyelids.

"Ein...? What's wrong...?"

"I'm sorry, it looks like someone's here."

Ein said so in a gentle voice, kissing Krone's forehead as he put his hand around his body.

Besides, he stroked his head with a pong, a pong, and a pong, and put him back on the bed.

Leave the bedroom and go to the door leading out from the living room.

When I opened it, Martha stood outside.

“I'm sorry about this.... I just got a call from you to check it out as soon as possible. ”

Ain received a bundle of thick paper from Martha.

Instead of seeing it, Ein said to Martha, "Thank you," and she went back to the room.

I headed to a desk in the corner of the living room and opened the paperwork.

Then Krone, who was supposed to be asleep, approaches from behind and peeks into his face from his neck.

”It's terrible to leave you already...”

“I'm sorry, I'll check, but Krone is still asleep.”

"... no, I'm fine."

She suddenly woke up as she suddenly noticed the letters written on the paper, rubbing her face against Ein.

Then she quickly leaves Ain.

Wearing only a thin coat in her underwear, she turned to the bedroom.

"I'll get Ein changed soon."

"I'm sorry, thank you. ---and..."

“I know. I'll be ready to go to work soon, so Ein should check on that beforehand.”

He doesn't have to talk a lot to understand.

Ain was truly grateful for Krone's dedication and saw her back off a bit.

◇◇◇◇

At the dawn of the day, the capital of King Ishtarika was swept away by the noise.

What happened to the wounded man's information?!

{An unfamiliar giant magic weapon...?We don't have enough information! Please report in more detail!

The nationality and race of the other party...

In the Imperial Castle, at the government office facing the aristocratic city, at the anchorage of the airship.

The commotion of knights, clerks, and nobles was spreading throughout the capital.

With that in mind, Ain was in a large conference room in the castle.

This conference room is a memorable place for Ein.

Because this was the place where Ein and Sylvard first met, and it was a place to remember the time naturally.

Also, I used this conference room during the Heim war.

In view of these facts, we can also see that it is a praiseworthy situation when it is used here.

(Even though it's not long since Visel's commotion...... what's going on......)

And it came to pass in the ears of Ain, which he thought secretly, that many voices were spoken of by them that were gathered together in this chamber.

But it suddenly stopped.

They had to shut up because their opponents were trying to open their mouths.

"Please be quiet."

Before everyone gathered here, Warren stood up from his chair and said:

He looks at everyone with a steeper face than usual in front of the great nobility gathered in a circular seat and the towns and villages of the King's City.

The next time Warren opened his mouth was a dozen seconds later.

Last night, knights dispatched to the West engaged those who call themselves the 'Iron Kingdom'.

The same thing is written in the paperwork Ein received from Martha at the beginning of the day.

"There were several magic weapons and about a dozen knights seriously injured."We have received reports that the adversaries used a huge magic weapon and that it was noteworthy for its destructive power. ”

"Warren, what happened to those who called themselves the Iron Nation?"

Sylvard asked steeply.

"The local commander gave three warnings (,,) before the battle, but the opponent did not stop, so he responded with a magic weapon.As a result, one dwarf is left behind and destroyed. "

"... was it a dwarf?"

“Yes, and the surviving dwarves are being held in the Great Bartholomew Prison.”

Hmm, Baltic?

"Just in case."As you all know, Baltic Prison is the only place in Japan where criminals are incarcerated. "

The interrogation is not yet ready, Warren continues.

The surviving dwarf's wounds are terrible, and there are aspects of life that can be maintained.

Under these circumstances, you can't even get the information you need to go to jail.

Ein thought this, but Warren thinks the same thing about it, and he's working on it, so there's no need to worry.

Of course, the magic weapon we took from the opponent will be sent to Ist for investigation after leaving the capital.

After that, Warren turned to Ein.

Sitting next to Sylvard, Ein noticed his gaze and stood up without saying a word.

Ein-sama went to the airship in an unexpected situation the other day.

Yeah. ― ― ― That's the day I found a magic device called the Bloodline Lock.After that, I listened to Marco and Mutton, and contacted Roland and Ist researchers, including the owner of the Majolica Magic Stone shop. ”

"Oh... I didn't expect you to do so much by yourself."

"At first, it was before the celebration, so I tried to hide it."But I'm not trying not to do what I have to do to hide it.The knights that were down were fine, and Rolan was able to see the condition of the airship. ”

"I'm Ain-sama."Maybe I don't have anything to teach you anymore. ”

Warren's voice slightly loosened the air around here.

Some people might wonder what that means in a tense situation, but the gathered people were too stiff, and Warren thought he should calm them down once.

The idea worked well, and calmness was returning to everyone's faces.

Well, ladies and gentlemen...

Everyone has put their hands on the tea and water at hand, and Warren, who was watching the clock, changes it.

"There is a lack of information on the groups involved in the use of force.However, if you name a country, this is no more than a clear act of aggression. ”

And many of them that were gathered turned to the dossier at hand.

It contains a map of the continent of Ishtar, and the land on which the first king was united.

These are the only lands that have been managed as Ishtarika until today, and since the Demon King's War, they have never fallen into the hands of any other country.

"--- Iron Country. First, we need to find out about its existence."

Leonard's father, the Duke of Forse, raised his hand and spoke after Warren's loud voice.

"Do you think they are a group of revolutionaries and independents?"In other words, whether the people of Ishtarica are about to rebel or not. "

“We cannot deny that possibility.However, the power to fight against our knights who possess magic weapons... only the nobility and some of the wealthy will be able to hold them. "

“Yes, I was thinking the same thing.”

“That was the best part. ― ― ― Therefore, it is important to make a judgment after obtaining information.For now, let's lay down a strict posture. "

The meeting continued for a while.

But at that seat, Ein was alone in his reflection.

(...... 'I won't allow usurpation'?)

This is the inscription on a blood lock found on an airship at sea.

What Mutton reads to me is what the letters mean, and the land of iron.

I shouldn't have felt that these two were related in any way.

Mr. Warren.

Ein muttered to her that she could not ignore what she was thinking.

"I'm a dwarf in Baltic jail, but I'll come when I can hear you."

As usual.

Warren and Sylvard turned their gaze to Ein.

Ain, who often takes these actions, knows that it's not like the Prince himself.

But I can't stop it because I'm convinced that it's definitely better for me to move.

Especially if the life and death of a dwarf imprisoned like this is at stake.

If Ainu can pull a little bit of information with Shannon's help, that would be great.

Nevertheless, this kind of behavior always comes to mind.

This leads to the fact that, as a ruler, you must abandon sweetness... "

"I agree, Your Majesty."If we go to Baltic, we'll hear from Sylvia and the others, so it's a good thing Ein-sama is on his way. "

"I think so too, but... oh my God."I don't know anyone but Ein, the crown prince who is so brave. "

"I'm sorry."... oh, yes.I'm going to do something different with Dill this time. ”

Of course, but Katima has a baby in her belly.

The child has not yet grown up, and it will not be a problem if her husband is not around.

So, this is about Ein's feelings.

Anyway, I want you to stay by Katima's side as long as you can.

With all my heart, I wanted to entrust Dill with another job in the capital.

I have to decide who I'm going with.

And a date to go to Baltic.

It depends on the state of the incarcerated dwarf, but we have to adjust it a little bit from now on so that it can move even in a sudden situation.
