A housekeeper (maid) often walks down the moonlight corridor.

A boy she thinks about pops out of Saratoga, already five days. If things go well, it's time to get to Gergios.

The housekeeper (maid) - Miriam thinks.

Absolutely, I wonder how much that boy (idiot) would mind if he disturbed my mind.

Outside a window with casual eyes, a large full moon floats.

Will he be looking at the same month?

And she writes letters with those thin fingers on the moon that appears in the window.

"Silly."

As she lay her eyes down and sighed into the cuts, she began walking again, stopping there as she came to the front of the back room.

As Miriam gently grips her fist in an attempt to knock, the door opens and Mio peeks into her face.

"I've been waiting for you."

Mio opened the door softly, minding his surroundings, and invited Miglia into the room.

"Sorry to call you so late at night"

"What... No, it's a housekeeper (maid) job."

For a moment, Mio and I spoke in a shattered tone when we were alone, but felt signs of other humans in the back room, putting the tone back on.

"How's Sir Cerdis doing?

"Still locked in Nana's room, pulling cage"

After Nanashi left, Princess Sword lost her energy as the flowers shriveled (squished), and on the third day, even when she finally called, she stopped coming out of the room.

"Your lord seems fine with me."

"Um, what do you think? I'm honest, I'm unscrupulous angry. Right after I said I took care of myself, here I am... However, as for Mr. Arge, your sister was excited, so I tried to get on with the conversation, but I don't think that person ever told Nana."

"Really?

"I used to make a scene about Nana. Maybe trying to catch Nana, it feels like she's involved..."

Miriam, who says almost the right answer, even without trying.

"Well," he nodded, and when Mio opened the door, Schmelvi stood in the back room.

On the table, the map is spread out and there is probably the magic of 'Tell Me Your Location (Il Luogo)', on the map, there are several light points shining.

"It's not about Nanashi that I called in today. Schmelvi is finding something strange. I want your opinion."

As he approached the table, Mio stood up, pointing his finger at the light point on the map.

"Saratoga is this. It's Gergios moving east."

"Who's coming right to this Saratoga?

"Probably a strasble"

It's a manoeuvre castle fort where Mio's allies hold a lord.

As for that, I thought Miriam probably would, too.

What really bothered me was that it wasn't.

"So you're right behind that strasble (...), what's the light point that's going to disappear now?

"That's... I don't know."

"Don't know?

"Miriam, look at the light. Count the numbers."

Schmelvi said against Mio, who has a difficult face, without even trying to hide the feeling that he has no choice but to have fun.

"One, two, three... Nine... Huh? Ten?! Weren't there nine manoeuvre castle forts?

"No, definitely nine. I hear there's been more in the past, but it's not about heritage levels."

It is hard to believe that there is anything else that emits the same level of magic as the Demonic Crystal Furnace, the power of the Motorized Castle Fort, but it is just impossible to accept that a new Motorized Castle Fort has simply emerged, as denominated.

The Demon Crystal Furnace is a supertechnology of ancient civilization.

It is hard to imagine that we could build a new manoeuvre castle fort in the future. That's new.

Miriam arms up and stares at the map.

Silent time passed for a while, and eventually Miriam pointed to one light point on the east side of the map.

"What's this?

"Uh," Asmodimos, "right?"

Schmelvi reads the information by holding his hand to the light point.

"Well, that's the Asmodimos, what's after Strasbull?"

Miriam speaks out of sarcasm and lack of context.

It must be because my consciousness has concentrated on thinking. The tone has also turned into something that Mio and I are familiar with when we are alone.

In the absence of the context of the statement, Mio gave a pompous expression for a moment, and when he returned to me, he rushed to ask Miriam.

"Wait a minute, I don't know why. Can't you explain?"

"'Cause before the battle with Gergios in the meantime, you widened the map and checked the position of Fort Maneuver, didn't you? It hasn't moved (...) since then, it (...). That can't be happening, can it? So at that light point, I don't think the Magic Furnace is the only place to start, and there's no Fort Maneuver."

"No, even Saratoga, you can't move now. Aren't we just stopping for a malfunction?

"Joke. Like Saratoga, if there are no other mobile castle forts around, there are several other mobile castle forts around. We're closest. This is Merclius, isn't it? He said it was warlike. You can't miss a manoeuvre castle fort like that."

Mio to be extinct. But Miriam keeps talking like a tatami.

"Well, what I just said is the result of observing the facts. Reasoning from here. Perhaps Asmodimos got another Demon Crystal furnace and reloaded it. If the Demon Crystal Furnace is ancient supertechnology, and it can't be built now, I can only think about it as much as I have unearthed something from a manoeuvre castle fort in the past."

"Did you reload? Not for what?

"There are two things you can normally think of. One is the so-called alibi, because Asmodimos appears to be in the east and acts secretly using another demonic furnace. If he finds out it was the work of some Asmo Dymos, he's trying to do something troublesome... Well, this is unlikely."

"What's the other one?"

"I wonder if it's to get closer to the prey so they don't notice it by the magic of" Tell Me Your Location (Il Luogo) ". Nobody noticed until Mr. Schmelvy found it today, did they? I think you can squeeze the amount of magic released. So what is Asmo Dymos after, a strasble running forward? No, if you're after Strasbourg, you're already attacking him. In other words, the prey..."

"... not Saratoga"

Mio looked at Miriam's face to confirm, and Miriam nodded silently.

"So it's Asmo Dymos, you've never even been involved before, have you? Why are you suddenly after Saratoga?

"I don't know!

"Yeah, you honestly don't get it. Maybe you should doubt your involvement with Gergios."

"Miriam, do you know when you're going to set me up?

"You don't want to deal with both Saratoga and Strasbull, so if you're gonna set me up, I think it's after Strasbull leaves Saratoga."

"So, you've already figured out a way to repel him? Our Master and Housekeeper (Maid)"

Nibbling, Mio peeks into Miriam's face and Miriam responds to it with a smile.

"Yeah, well, I'll let you know"

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Dark room. Without lights on, the girl is holding her knees on the bed.

Staring all the time is the corner where her Lord was lying (Ichigu).

There, still today, the blanket that had been sneezed was left intact.

Girl's silver hair, 32314; (offal), the tip of her hair is popping out here and there, and her sobbing eyes are red and swollen.

With the Lord gone, the first night, I was just a little depressed.

On the second night, I was mainly angry at the Lord, helplessly.

And on the third night, I was lonely, sad, and I hated doing anything.

The girl thinks. It's always like this.

Even if he is lifted with the sword princess, what he seeks falls zero (spill) from between his fingers like sand.

I thought the Lord had finally admitted to making himself a servant, but when I woke up, it also disappeared like smoke.

When the girl gets up somehow, she goes to the corner where the Lord was lying, around it, lying on the floor all the time.

The feel of a stone floor felt through a thin nightcoat is stiff and cold.

After all, we must not let the Lord sleep in a place like this. When I get back, I'll make sure you sleep in bed no matter what.

That's what I thought, and then the girl snapped.

"... I wonder if I'll be back"

Stimulated by the lonely sound of my voice, my eyes moisten again and my vision seeps in.

But in that vision, under the blanket in front of me, I could see something like a piece of white paper.

He jumps up in a hurry, pays off the blanket, and takes the piece of paper.

It's definitely the Lord's writing.

With trembling fingers he spread it fourfold, and at first glance, the girl was squeaking (crushing).

"... unreadable"

What was written there was a letter I had never even seen.

That was the 'Hinomoto' used by the desert people, but of course, Princess Sword doesn't know that.

Unfortunately, Nanashi was unable to read or write in the official language (Common).

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"Hey! Parasite. I can see you!

"Mr. Arge. I know, so don't shout in your ear!

A blunt (frightened) streamline that travels through the desert.

Standing on it, two shadows.

Arge clings firmly to Nanashi's back.

Exactly, I guess I've gotten used to it over the last few days. The two work together smoothly, moving their weight at the same time, trying to draw an arc and getting closer to Gergios.

"Too big!

Nanashi was overwhelmed by the growing beauty of Gergios as he approached him.

Perhaps nearly twice the size of Saratoga, several other high-rise buildings popping up like needles besides the central spire could also be seen from outside the walls.

"What's up? You're gonna jump on the wall?

"No, I'll keep running on the wall!

"Are you kidding me?

Arge shrugged his shoulders and looked up to heaven when he said so in disdain.

Fortunately, unlike Saratoga, the walls of Gergios are slightly inclined. With that, you should be able to run on the wall.

In Nanashi's head, the image was revived when he ran through the sandy walls of the impelling sand flood (Flood).

"I'm coming!

Ripping sand that increases speed (sand spreader).

The walls loom in front of you.

Push your right foot behind you and jump up the front of the sand ripper (sandsprender) and climb up to a slight incline on the wall.

"Wow, wow, wow."

Screaming, Arge rebuilt his body, perpendicular to the wall, against gravity, and looked up in an unstable position. In the sky, he saw a huge full moon full of vision.

Though glittering and dangerously glaring, in an orbit that drew a rainbow on the wall, the sandstorm (sandspreader) that carried them slid up the wall, and the peak of the arc that drew went beyond the top of the wall, and the sandstorm (sandspreader) that tore the sandstorm (all of them), the two entered the universe.

The two, thrown out as they were, fall over the walls of Gergius and roll in the grass with momentum.

Something that ripped sand (sand spreader) just around the corner also dropped, making a blunt, loud metal noise.

"It just hurt, Mr. Arge, are you okay?

"Are you all right! I thought you were gonna die! I'm a girl too, don't worry about it!

"Excuse me. I forgot that."

"Humph!!

On Nanashi's face, Arge's back fist flickers.

Best severe pain of the day.

Let's just say it's a good example of how honest people aren't always right.

"Anyway, we've made a big noise, so we're gonna be in the city before the guards get together."

Arge grabbed Nanashi's collar around the roll by holding his face and held the sand tearing (sandspreader) aside, trying to pull both of them together and ran down the stairs.
