Three.

"Dear Takahiro"

After participating in the training of the soldiers with Lily and Robbia, I came back to the compartment rented to the Royal Palace and I was called out.

Robbie, who was with me, reacts first.

"Ella! You were back, welcome back!

"Yeah, I'm home."

In response to her last sister's call, Ella responds with a soft smile.

The body was wrapped in travel clothes.

For about a week now, she and some of her sisters had left the royal palace for the ruined dragon abyss.

It was to mourn the deceased family.

Only Ella among the sisters apparently showed her face right here to report her return.

Next to her was the figure of Mr. Philip with the knight of the escort.

This was also a travel costume.

"It's been a week, Takahiro. Was there anything inconvenient?"

"Yes. It's okay. Philip was relieved to see that he was safe."

As things stand, the dragons in the dragon abyss have been accepted by Akel as my companions, and he has sought some convenience.

As part of this, Mr. Philip was accompanying Ella back into the dragon abyss.

The accompanying knight is an Elf spiritual user with enemy abilities.

In addition, Mr. Philip himself had a position in human society as Akel's second prince, and this was the decision that most trouble would be avoided.

Mr. Philip himself laughed that the Second Prince's self was light, but I guess it's a big part of the generosity that gets me this far.

A month and a little while ago, Mr. Philip, who had been caught by the McCrowlin Frontier Bell Army, escaped, multiplied by the magic of my fog and the confusion created by the support of the dragons.

He was also in a pretty dangerous spot at this time, and in the confusion, he said, he even lost consciousness once.

He was able to wake up safely and carelessly, and when he realized that he was out of custody, he secretly escaped from the confused Borderline Belgian Army.

Because of that history, he seemed grateful to the dragons who created the incentive to flee.

Even for me, I am delighted that the relationship between Royal Akel and the dragons is good.

It was more important to consolidate allied ties than the situation still allowed for prediction.

"Dear Takahiro, I need to talk to you, do you have time?"

After the exchange of greetings, Ella has cut out the story.

"I don't mind. Is something wrong?"

Asked, Ella's face clouded.

I can't even say the look on Mr. Phillip's face.

Apparently, it wasn't a very good story.

"Your husband. Why don't you calm down and talk to me?

We decided to change places to hang up what Lily urged us to do.

We all knock over the building door.

The compartment borrowed from the Royal Akel is what Mr. Philip turned his hand to me.

Shortly after entering the talking room, the young children of the elves were playing.

In it, there is a mix of big white spider figures.

"Oh, Lord. Guys, you're home."

Gabella probably waved.

Due to the intense movement of people in some places within the Royal Palace, the actions of the Garbellas, who looked like monsters, are somewhat restricted.

Nevertheless, there was no need for disabling people because they were being restricted in and out of the compartments around here.

"Gabella. And Kato, too. Can you come?"

"Okay, seniors"

I also speak to Kato, who was dealing with the children with Gabella, and head to the room.

Lily, who distracted me, calls Rose and the others.

Not being there was enough to stop, and that meant that she was with Berta, who was also non-participating.

During their stay at the Royal Palace, the two are often in favorite sun-drenched positions.

Most importantly, I don't understand Abandon where he participated in the discussion, and Berta is an outsider.

I don't have a problem with not being there.

Ms. Ella opened her mouth as the samurai serving the castle prepared a drink and stepped back.

"Report first. We got there safely, and we were able to spot the remains of almost every brother."

From across the table, I'm turning my gaze to this one.

"My condolences were on the spot, as planned."

Condolences were offered only to a few people, including Ella, who headed inside.

The dragon's remains were huge and difficult to transfer, and it was also expected to be corrupt over time, so he had no choice but to do so.

As soon as the situation settled, I was going to follow Robbia to the grave.

"Really? If nothing happened, I'm relieved."

A concern from the outset was the encounter with the metastatic.

I stroked my chest down because there seemed to be no such trouble.

But Ella clouded her expression.

"No. That was one problem."

"Saying?

"... I couldn't find the body of the chief."

I was confused when asked about unexpected facts.

"So, Malvina's?

Crustacean Dragon Malvina, the head of the inside of the Dragon Abyss, was the largest dragon over fifty metres long and the mother of all the dragons living inside.

She fought a spectacular battle against a metastatic opponent who raided inside. Even, I hear, she's dead.

What does it mean that the remains are not found?

"Does that mean... the metastasizers took it? If it's to show you how to handle it during a triumph, you can't even understand it."

"No. I don't think so."

Mouth what came to mind, Mr. Phillip denied this.

I turn my gaze to him, sitting next to Ella, for an explanation.

"May I ask why?"

"As we headed into the dragon abyss, we gathered information about the raids inside. As a result, we know that it was the brave men who received a request from a town in Count Long's territory who embarked on the crusade of the Lord of the Coma Forest."

"Oh. Was it the story that" Misty Boundary "was broken when Jingu Shi Chiya, the" Dragon Man ", merged in bad folds where he was unable to attack because of" Misty Boundary "at first"

Around here was a story I had already heard before Ella and the others left inside.

Mr. Philip returns the chief care.

"He said the brave men then crusaded the dragon while leaving the war dead and were returned to town. We decided that there were no more brave men inside, and left with Lord Ella."

"You talked about how the 'hero Tan' of the transferees who bravely fought while losing their people was heavily hustled inside and outside Count Long's territory, and the intelligence gathering went smoothly for the price.... Oh, you know what?"

While I was hammering, I also noticed.

"If you brought home the remains of Malvina for the triumph, you mean they should be talking about it in town"

"Exactly. But among the information collected, there was no such story. Besides, we hear that Crustacean Malvina was a very large dragon. Even the brave ones wouldn't have been easy to bring home."

"That's true."

Additionally, the transferees who raided inside the dragon abyss shouldn't have had room for that.

Though they seemed cautious around forming an inmate party in significant numbers, they are essentially no different from the transferees who were considered 'pseudo-brave' in the small aristocratic territories of the east.

He has swept down his enemies with mighty force and walked without knowing of his setbacks.

The death of his companion must have been enjoyed.

I don't know how to take a giant dragon like a mountain home for a triumph...... how hard to think it would be to talk about.

But how could the remains of Malvina have been gone?

"Takahiro."

So Silan raised his voice.

"What's up? Did you notice anything?

"Yes. After a moment, Lord Malvina..."

With those eyes cared for, they are directed at Mr. Ella and Robbia.

Ella nodded at Silan, who seemed somewhat unspeakable.

"Yes, perhaps, but my thoughts are the same as yours"

"What do you mean?

When I asked, she took one melancholy sigh and then opened her mouth as she was ready.

"The chief could have become an undead monster"

"... Huh!

Cancer and chairs made noise.

Robbie stretched his body.

I was told my mother had gone undead.

The shock will be huge.

I opened my mouth as I cared for you.

"That's what... no. Is it possible enough?"

It is undead that the remains of the abandoned dead become monsters by magic.

The occurrence of undead is particularly common in dark, magical lands like the tree sea.

Also, when magic is dispersed into the atmosphere due to the death of people and monsters, the trend is even stronger.

The place is a coma forest, and if it were also the transferees and dragons who died, the conditions would be fulfilled enough.

"We checked out where it became a battlefield, and there was still the magic that could be called the minds of the undead monsters. I'm pretty sure it's gone undead."

"Was it"

You should see it as credible, because Ella, who visited the place, says so.

I think of something, and I ask.

"The only thing that was missing was the remains of Malvina?

Earlier, Ms Ella said, 'I found the remains of almost every brother'.

Conversely, not everyone can take it.

"As you can guess. In brothers, one more. We haven't even found Rex's remains."

"And Rex..."

A great big man's face came to mind in the back of my brain.

Rex is Robbia's brother, who recognized himself as the guardian inside.

During his stay inside, Robbia's - although Rex kept calling him Patricia - was a lot stuck around.

But in my midst, that clumsy man's impression is never bad.

Rex was desperate to protect the inside.

In fact, he bravely fought to protect the inside, saying he was dead.

"The two men who became undead monsters could attack people."

Ella's voice was sufficiently suppressing, but there was a faint tremor at the end of the story.

My beloved family is wandering around exposed to mutilated corpses.

There's not much in that mind to look into.

As far as young Robbia was concerned, he had a pale face.

"Robbia"

When I called her over without being able to watch, she honestly stepped out of her chair and hugged her.

Low body temperature.

It was bloody.

"Takahiro. Sorry, I..."

"Fine. Stay like this for a while."

There's a lot going on up there, and the otherwise mean Robbia is pretty much there.

I guess I'm just not going to cry.

With his forehead pressed against his chest, Robbie inquired with a creaking voice.

"... hey, Takahiro. You can't be like Silan."

Silan's body belongs to the Undead Monster.

Before, I had picked up her consciousness that had fallen on Ghoul.

Nevertheless, the situation is different now.

"Even then, the timing was too tight."

Answer as you remember what happened at Fort Chile.

"My soul was on the verge of shattering. Unfortunately, too much time has passed"

My abilities are limited.

When Siran, the conditions were miraculously in place.

Miracles didn't happen that way.

"Your wishes cannot be fulfilled. Bad."

"... yeah"

Trying to press her head, Robbie shook her head.

"Me, I couldn't. Sorry."

Shut your mouth.

It was Mr. Phillip who broke the silence that fell into the room.

"I'm sorry, Takahiro. I must, in my position, take into account the safety of my people"

with a quiet sense of duty, he said.

"If the crustacean dragon Malvina, transformed into an undead monster, launches an attack on the town..."

"I know, sir"

I nodded.

"Malvina wouldn't want that either."

"Thank you for understanding."

Mr. Philip said, Ella opened her mouth next to it.

"We, the dragons in the dragon abyss, are also going to take responsibility. More importantly... because we have to put the length to sleep."

"Right. We'll help you then."

"Thank you. But Lord Takahiro will have other things to do. Robbia is here to help you."

Mr. Ella bowed her head.

Perhaps, but that's what she said thinking about Robbia.

Making a young girlfriend fight the remains of her deceased mother while stifling the relationship is too much loading to win.

Around it was perceived, so I gave back my snort.

Ella continued.

"And it's the cornerstone of the world, a magic tool that maintained The Fog's Boundary, but I couldn't find it. I don't know if it was broken or taken away, but this must be why 'The Fog Boundary' has disappeared"

Now the only remaining 'cornerstone of the world' held by the dragons is one held by Sadias.

Even with Salvia, it means we can't rebuild the 'Fog Boundary' right away.

For once, I am contacting Sadias on the contact route I was taught before, also for the purpose of telling him about the raid inside the Dragon Abyss, but I have yet to reply.

Originally, I didn't have a choice because it wasn't the kind of means by which I would be able to reach them immediately, and it would take extra time depending on Sadias' current position.

Most importantly, it is risky to re-establish and pull the 'Fog Boundary' again in this situation, so either way, the dragons will be safest to get themselves into Akel.

"The report will be more than that"

When she finished her conversation, Ella exhaled looking like she had finished her job.

Instead, Mr. Phillip is pointing the water at me.

"How was Takahiro? What was there while we were gone?"

"Right. There's one thing we need to discuss."

Now it was this one's turn.

I moistened my throat with tea and opened my mouth.

"For once, I may be pinching it in my ear until I get here... I've been contacted by the Cathedral Church"

"From the Cathedral Church?

Mr. Philip tightened his expression.

"No. We went straight back this far, so we didn't get a chance to ask. What is the story like?"

"They want to invite us to the Empire City. I've said I'd like to set up a table to discuss the truce with Uncle Borderline."

After the recapture of Rose, the Macro-Lynn Borderline Bell Army is devastated.

The information came to us shortly after he was protected by the army of Akel with the elves of the pioneering village.

I doubted my ears when I heard the conversation because I was in the middle of discussing a response to the Borderline Uncle's army.

From the slightest survival, Akel's army heard the story, and they were attacked by a flock of Trip Drills.

Nevertheless, that was not the case when it came to whether Uncle Borderline gave up his crusade with it.

In fact, Uncle Borderline has not withdrawn his claim of a 'pseudo-brave' crusade even after he received a protest from the expedition.

With all that number of soldiers lost, there won't be that much excess power that Borderline Uncle can move, but still I can't be alarmed.

There are also quite a few aristocrats who agree with Uncle Borderline.

If it's going to be like they're gathering soldiers, it could be like the Second Crusade Army is going to be organized.

What is even more problematic is the case of them stretching their forces to stop the sanctions against Akel.

If that happens, Akel in the small country will be forced to live a painful life.

Other allies, especially those in the five northern regions, see a move to side with Akel, so even if we can do something about it, that's muddy.

The region around here - or the whole world could split into enemies and allies and be the wings of a Cold War state.

The offer from the diocesan church had the potential to solve such a situation.

Mr. Philip will soon understand that, too.

"That... doesn't sound like a bad story"

"Yes. I agree. Because you can't always be hostile to Uncle Borderline."

Agreed, he added.

"It's just that if the Cathedral Church can be trusted,"

For a moment, Mr. Phillip held his breath.

Those reactions were predictable.

"… whether the Cathedral Church can be believed,? I never thought about it."

"If you're a resident of this world, most of you are."

"But Takahiro doesn't."

When I showed understanding, Mr. Philip breathed.

"It has always been judged whether you can believe what is in front of you in order to protect what is important to you. I guess we need to do the same. No, that's what the world has become. We must also think hard about what we believe in."

The tone of speech contained a definite determination.

They don't look very similar brothers and sisters, but these places reminded me of the Allied Knights Commander who once fought shoulder-to-shoulder at Fort Chile.

Being able to side with these people is probably one of the luck gained in this world.

So the door to the room was knocked.

Conversation is temporarily interrupted.

"Excuse me, sir."

What came was a soldier who was guarding this section.

"I'm sorry I'm talking to you. We have a visitor, so we've brought you."

"Visitors? Takahiro, did you have plans?"

Mr. Phillip asks.

I frowned.

"No. There shouldn't be..."

Thinking about the future, visitors themselves are not so uncommon, as they have been given the opportunity to meet with dignitaries in Akel.

But today, I didn't plan on doing that.

"Senior"

Kato calls out.

Lily was sitting back on guard.

So I heard a voice from the hallway.

"Oh. I'm fine now. I'll talk to you later."

It's the voice of a cool girl.

That sounded familiar.

"... No way"

A skinny girl enters the room, softening her long hair.

And when I saw his face, I turned my eyes round.

"Iino?"

"... Long time no see"

To my surprise, "Weiwaten" Yuna Iino returned her words.
