Monster no Goshujin-sama

Four.

"Why are you here?"

It was the words of doubt that came out of my mouth.

I don't think I'm going to see your face here.

When the suspicion also asked Dewy, Iino looked upset.

"Say hello, Mashima. Wouldn't it be nice if I were here?"

"It's not like that..."

If this is a good friend, it may be an unexpected occasion to reunite, but we are not in that relationship.

Nevertheless, that might have been a slightly bumpy way of saying it.

"I'm sorry. I have no other intention. So? Didn't you go back to the expedition?

"I'm back. That's why I'm here."

Iino still seemed a little upset.

It's depressing.

... No. In retrospect, was this always the case?

Then you don't have to worry about this one.

"I'm not sure. What's this all about?

"Your husband. In the meantime, why don't we sit down and talk?

I just asked, and Lily pinched her mouth.

"What are you talking about? I have to introduce you to someone else."

Me and Iino looked at each other.

"So is that. Sit down."

"I'll let you do that."

"Okay, here you go"

Ella, who was sitting in my front, gives up her seat.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ella"

"Uh, thank you"

When me and Iino thanked each other, Ella graciously moved to another seat.

While doing so, I order the soldier who brought Iino to arrange for Mr. Philip to prepare one additional cup.

I'm usually casual, but I'm really used to these places and they seem royal.

Iino gets to the seat conceded.

And I blinked in surprise.

"Uh, what is it?

It was directed at Robbia, who remained hugged by me.

Turning his gaze, he had a strangely faceless Robbie face.

"... hey, Takahiro. Is that him?

The eyes that gaze at Iino are faintly open.

My tail shakes loosely.

He leaned against me and grabbed my clothes. His fingertips are stiff.

Whatever it was, it was just a little dragonized.

I don't mind being cautious in and of itself, but the atmosphere in Robbia is a bit dangerous right now.

When I was bad, it felt like I was about to hit you from here.

Where I'm a little nervous because of recent events, I guess I've been more alert than I need to be when I saw Iino seem grumpy.

Interaction with Iino is normal, and different attitudes are mutual.

It wasn't like I cared, but I couldn't have done it without knowing around it.

"It's okay, Robbie."

I grasped the situation and was about to say something, and Kato was opening his mouth earlier.

This kind of place is still not as brilliant.

"This man is Yuna Iino. He's a metastasizer from the same world as me and my predecessors. There's been a lot going on before, and it's just a relationship I don't know if I'm close or not, and I'm not the enemy."

"We're not getting along. Don't be weird."

Iino immediately modifies some of his remarks.

Robbie looked lost and looked up at this one.

"... aren't they enemies?

"Oh. I'm fine."

I nodded and Kato smiled.

"See. Senior Mashima would say this, too"

That eye is directed to Iino.

"At least you don't suddenly attack me... do you?

"... I won't"

When told, Iino, with a priori, looked weak.

Or maybe Kato just doesn't like it.

Seeing how Iino was like that, Robbie also convinced me, and I snorted.

Though he never left me.

So the cup for Iino, which Mr. Philip ordered earlier, arrived.

When I was ready to discuss it, once again I turned my water to Iino.

"So, Iino. I came all the way here. I guess I have something to do. Can I hear you?"

"... yeah, right"

Iino honestly responded to whether the earlier interaction had cut his temper.

However, it was an exciting word that popped out of my mouth.

"I came here because the Cathedral Church asked me to."

"... to the Cathedral Church?

The air in the room strained.

Until recently, the name of the organization that was discussing how to respond came up, so this reaction was natural.

Iino also nodded with a serious look.

"Yeah, he asked me to convince you."

"... Iino?

"Do you have any complaints?

"No. Nothing. Just checking."

I'll be staring at you, Iino.

Honestly, Kato snapped, "Hit me," wondering if it might be a candidate mistake.

"What's up, Mr. Kato?

"... I was wondering why the expedition issued a statement protesting against Uncle Borderline."

Kato asks as he puts a broken finger on his mouth.

"Was it Mr. Iino who moved the expedition?

"What?"

"Because if you have a history of doing that, you can also see Iino coming here."

When I turned my gaze, Iino smiled faintly.

"You're half right. I was the one who gave the information to the expedition, but it was the leader who decided to move. … what I could not do"

At the end of the day, I say pompous.

"Iino?"

I stared at Iino's face in surprise.

Because her floating grin seemed to contain something bitter rather than seemingly.

"What's wrong with you?

"... nothing."

I waved Iino for the first time.

Something may have happened, but he's not going to talk about it here.

Anyway, thank the leader.

Get back on track immediately, and she hastily told.

"When he found out about Mashima, he decided to move quickly. He's not one to abandon other metastasizers, and he seems to care about Mashima for a long time."

"Leader... is that Kojiro Nakatsuki?

I was a little confused.

Because the leader of the expedition had no idea why he cared.

"About me, why?

"Come on? It's just that he likes hard working people, though I think that's the reason around. That's who I am. Believe everyone, it's like moving forward."

Iino looked somewhat proud.

He's the one who was putting together the great area of thousands of people in trouble for transworld movements.

I am not familiar with it because I was one of many others at the time, but I guess I am admired by my direct Explorer members.

"Well, I did appreciate you protesting against Uncle Borderline."

"Yes, yes. Thank the leader. And then there's The Mysterious Man, who let me know about your crisis."

"What's that?"

When asked, Iino shrugged his shoulder.

"I don't know either. I met someone in the village of Viscount Van and told me that you were being targeted by the Borderline Army. I don't know you."

"... I can't say anything with that little information. In the first place, where's Viscount Van?

"It's one of the small aristocratic territories to the east. Plus, there's no information. He didn't even show his face. Speaking of which, you were using a spear."

"That's not all."

"And then, you didn't feel right."

Then the horses might fit with me, among those who hate me.

That was a joke, but in any case, I wasn't sure.

Iino continues without worrying about whether he's splitting up around it.

"Anyway, I was involved, so I was asked to persuade you."

"Mostly I know what's going on."

And I nodded for a moment, and uttered my doubts.

"But he asked me, to whom exactly? When I say Cathedral Church, there will be a lot"

"These are two men, Gert-Kügeler, Archpriest of the Cathedral Church, and Harrison-Addington, Commander of the Order of the Cathedral Knights. I met these two when I was called to the Empire City."

"... again, you've got a lot of big names"

If they were both stature people in this world, they were so people that no one knew.

The Cathedral Church has six high priests, but I hear their head is Gert-Kügeler.

Also, it goes without saying about Harrison-Addington.

The best 'authority' in this world and the best 'force' symbol were these two.

I guess you can assume that the fact that those two are moving is seriously getting things sorted out.

The question is what it is...

"I heard about Travis. I don't even think you can believe the Knights of the Diocese."

Iino tried to show his understanding of the situation.

The expression is remorse.

Maybe he remembers that Travis had me raided because he was fooled.

Pulled lips spun the words.

"It's just that Mr. Gert and Mr. Harrison are different. I believe that we need to do something about this situation. That's why I moved to set up a seat for this meeting."

"Thankful story...... I just wanted to say I don't know"

I frowned.

"If you're a cathedral church, can you order the Macrolin Border Uncle to stop fighting? How could you take such a roundabout?

"He said I could make you hear me. But that's not what the Cathedral Church sees as a problem."

Iino shook his head quietly.

"A lot of people agree with Uncle Borderline's claims. Things are not just about Borderlands anymore. And the tricky thing is that these people support Borderline despite the protests of the expedition because they think there's justice there."

"... about Travis."

"That sort of thing. We don't all know if that's arbitrary. It is believed that the claims of the Borderline Belgian Army were supported by the Knights of the Diocese. That's where the expedition protested, and the status quo is taking the form of" The Brave and the Cathedral Church ". That's why Mr Gert and the others want a settlement in the context of the talks." Reconciliation between Takahiro Mashima and Takahiro Macro Lin "is also" Reconciliation between the Brave and the Cathedral Church. "

Even as unexpectedly, Iino replied.

Perhaps these questions were assumed.

I must have spent a long time preparing for a proper answer.

"I see. I got the story. But does Uncle Borderline swallow it?

"I just said, 'I can make you hear me say that'. Mr. Gert and his men promised to swallow the truce. All you have to do is take it to the form of reconciliation, even if it just looks like it. That's enough."

"Mm-hmm. That's it."

And it was Lily who spoke.

"The Cathedral Church keeps the borderline uncle in check, but instead, you mean you can keep up with a performance called a meeting? For that, he wants you to come to Empire City."

"That's what's gonna happen. In this case, talks are most effective in Imperial Capital, because they are also some sort of ritual. That's why you invited Mashima to Teito. Instead, the Cathedral Church undertakes responsibly not only to set a venue for negotiation, but also for a ceasefire. I don't think it's a bad story."

"Mmm. Let me tell you something, in the first place, it was the Cathedral Knights who got into this mess, wasn't it? I suppose you could say we're dating at the end."

Lily's tone included something like trying.

It is important to clarify where the responsibility lies.

If you do poorly, you can be thankful and swallow unfavourable conditions.

In other words, this was asking 'what stance the Cathedral Church is in on this one'.

"... the Gerts are aware of some of those aspects."

Come on, it seems the Cathedral Church side wasn't going to be gracious here.

I seem to have included it in Iino, and I admitted Lily's point lightly.

"So they also want me to tell them if they have any terms when we have a meeting. Of course, even if I take it home and consider it, I think I'm going to swallow it if it's not too difficult."

"Hmm. That's what Cathedral Church is all about."

Hit the hammer and Lily looks at this one.

What are you gonna do? and its eyes were asking.

To be honest, the Cathedral Church's response is more honest than I thought.

It looks like you're trying to restore your damaged trust without looking at this foot or coming out under high pressure.

Even this one, you can't remain hostile to the macro-lin border uncle forever, as we discussed earlier.

If only I could decide I was reliable, I wouldn't have bluffed to respond.

"I got the story, Iino. Once the conditions are in place, you can head to the capital."

"Yes. That's good"

The corresponding words had a darker color of relief.

I guess Iino didn't mind if this one swallowed the story either.

A sip of tea, then she opened her mouth again.

"Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do next."

I took something like a purple treasure ball out of the toolbag I was carrying.

The temples and the three spheres roll out.

"... the magic tool of instantaneous movement?

"Oh. Did you know?

"Travis and the others used it. I just don't know the details."

"This is a relic of the brave of the past, a precious magic tool possessed by the Cathedral Church. You have the power to fly one person from one side to the other with two magic tools. It's the end consumable once used, but this time the church offered it because it's urgent."

The effects of magic tools seem to be largely as expected.

Most of all, it is gratifying that the details were known only to the tools that once were shown painful eyes.

"So, what are you gonna do with it?

"The day after tomorrow, Mr. Shimazu will come with this."

"Shimazu... is the Shimazu Knitting of the 'Circle of Fairies', the Explorer's ability to travel instantly"

"That's right. Shimazu-san can't fly anywhere he's never been, so he's going to use his magic tools to get here. That way, the road back can fly in the 'Circle of Fairies'. In fact, even Serratta was brought here by this force. I ran from there."

I just did, and it would normally take me over a month to get there, but it was now more about Iino.

I guess the overwhelming mobility of 'Wewaten' was one of the reasons she was chosen as a persuader.

However, under limited conditions, "Fairy Ring" outweighs "Weiwaten" s mobility.

"Is' Circle of Fairies' in Serratta? So you're saying this magic tool can fly this far from Serratta?

"Yeah. I can't do that. Because there are limits to how far you can fly. There were five pairs of magic tools I received from the Cathedral Church, and I kept them at my point until I came here. The pair was a spare just in case, so four pairs of minutes. If one here is A, the pair of A is at the previous point. There's another B in there with us, and that pair of B's at that point again."

"Four pairs. Wasn't it a precious magic tool?"

"That's all the Cathedral Church means."

It may also be said that we are afraid of the current situation.

In fact, the more time passes, the more precarious the public opinion becomes.

For example, chaos would also be a feather that deepened if some nobleman had uniquely marched.

It would have been better if things had been cleared up sooner.

"There are limits to what Mr. Shimazu has done, but unlike magic tools, I'm not alone, and I can fly as many times as I want. Of course, with more people and more distance, the wear and tear will be intense. It's just that it's still much faster than normal. If we fly in about twenty, we'll have seven days to reach the capital."

By the way, it usually takes more than four months to get from Akel to Imperial City.

Totally joke-like performance, but it was something I couldn't help but say to my intrinsic abilities.

"As an appointment, when Shimazu-san arrives, he will first take me back to Teito to convey Mashima's demands. That won't take much time. About three days each way. Now the Cathedral Church is calling Borderline Uncle to the Imperial City, and it will take about a month to arrive. In the meantime, the Cathedral Church will respond to your offer. With the result, once again, me and Shimazu-san will return to Akel and move you to the Imperial Capital. During the journey to the Imperial City, we are also expected to escort you from the Cathedral Knights. What do you say?"

"I understood how to do it. I have no particular complaints."

"Good for you."

When I finished saying it, Iino made a stretch of um.

"For now, that's all I'm talking about. If you don't have any questions, I'm gonna have to pick up the inn tonight, so if you'll excuse me."

"Just one thing. Are you sure you want to discuss the terms and conditions you will be presenting?"

"Yes. It's the day after tomorrow that Shimazu-san will come anyway. Think slowly."

Mr. Philip opened his mouth when he pulled out of his shoulder the way Iino had finished his job.

"You said you were looking for accommodation, but if you like, why not stay at the Royal Palace during your stay? We'll arrange a room."

"Is it true? Helpful, because I've been so busy running all the way here."

The words didn't seem to lie, and Iino looked tired.

Unusual.

I'm supposed to be the type of person who's careful where people are, but is it pretty fatigue?

I didn't even have a hegemony in my expression.

"Now let me show you to your room for your stay."

"Regards"

Mr. Philip lifted his hips and Iino followed suit.

"Iino"

I called that back off.

I look back and tell her.

"Thank God. Honestly, thanks. You came all the way out here to tell the expedition about my danger."

"... nothing. You don't have to thank me."

In the eyes of Iino like that, sharpness was back.

"I just can't forgive you for not being right. That's all."

"I know. You are fair to everyone. I hate you. Not even me. That's what this one is about."

I laugh bitterly.

Even if it wasn't for me here, Iino would have tried to do the same to help.

I didn't do it for me.

She just did what she always did.

That was Yuna Iino, who I know as "Weiwaten".

There's something there that I gave up, and that's why I'm so jealous, I don't care, I can't help but admit it.

"I know. But it must have been helpful. I just wanted to say thank you."

……

After a few seconds of silence, Iino hummed his nose.

Something I hated, but I was relieved somewhere that I was back on track.

The rest said nothing more, and Iino was taken out of the room by Mr. Philip.
