Monster no Goshujin-sama

11. Travel to the Imperial City

Eleven.

"Nice to meet you! I am your hand washing sunflower. The Expedition calls it 'Rigoku White Snow' or something. Greetings!"

The girl with a smile tries to salute her with a devious trick.

Looks like a girl with a bright personality.

I had a vibe full of energy for my little body.

"Oh, Aoi? Are you sure...?

Mr. Kato, embraced, raised his voice full of surprises.

I'm looking back at the girl's face as she rounds her eyes and just rubs her cheeks.

"Why are you here?

"You've decided that. I'm here to see you, Vegetables!

When your hand wash answered well, she cheered.

He's jumping a little on the spot while holding onto Kato.

I'm glad it's well communicated, but I don't get one other point of order.

When I turned my gaze again, Iino gave me an explanation.

"It seems that Aoi and Kato have been close friends with each other since before the transfer. I told Aoi that Kato was in Akeru before, and I've been concerned ever since."

"That means!

Your hand washer raises his hand in response to this interaction as to whether the excitement has finally subsided.

The other hand remained holding Kato's hand.

"I've always cared, Akel is far away, and you couldn't quite come, could you? That's when Senior Yona came back running around the world."

"When I returned with information to the expedition about the dispute between Mashima and the Macro-Lynn Border Army."

Iino captures it.

"I reported on Mashima and the leader decided to protest against Uncle Borderline... Aoi was one of those who voted stronger in favor of the decision. So, this time too."

"I told you I couldn't, you brought me here!

"He told me he couldn't, and I brought him here."

Shimazu, who is undertaking the move with the power of the 'Fairy Ring', sighed deeply.

"Even though it's more burdensome. Totally no more."

While I'm telling you that, I guess we're close around bringing you in.

... To be honest, the personnel I didn't plan to have are not very preferred, but I can't say much stronger to Shimazu, who is only a bona fide collaborator.

Well, it also means Kato's acquaintance, and he won't complain in detail.

The situation was understandable.

If so, the next step must be to complete the original appointment.

I asked Iino and Shimazu to tell me the story they brought back from Teito.

Most importantly, if things aren't going well, the Iino people should be showing their attitude.

I could have predicted it hadn't been that bad.

We decided to move into the room and listen slowly.

While on the move, your handwasher had been talking to Kato for fun.

I haven't seen a friend in a long time, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

Kato also looked happier now, although he had initially eaten.

Even for me, it was a pleasure to see him like that.

I was aware that just because I was one of them wasn't all of the reasons I felt that way.

Much to think about when it comes to rendezvous with the expedition, but being able to reunite with close friends in this way can be described as a good event at will.

But this is something I can tell myself.

At the back of his brain, he appeared to be his best friend with glasses.

Kanahiko Takigi.

The guy, who broke up in a town near Serratta, headed to the Imperial Capital with the captain to be interviewed about the fall of Fort Chile.

According to the timing, it was possible that he was still staying in Imperial City.

If we go to Imperial City, we might get a chance to meet.

With that in mind, I also felt a little excited to go to the Imperial City, where it was all about keeping my mind tight.

Seeing the two girls in conversation, I thought about it, and smiled a little.

The next day.

When we heard from the Iino people, we set out for the Imperial City.

Come on, because the conditions this one offered to the Cathedral Church side were almost fulfilled.

There were also no deficiencies in the mobility plans submitted.

Shimazu and the others were also checking the destination site to be relocated when they moved here, saying that there seemed to be no problem.

If so, there is no reason not to head to the Imperial City.

We embarked on a journey by the Fairy Ring.

It became a strange journey for those of us who had become accustomed to the journey.

"Well, I'll be there."

Shimazu-san said and took a unique step.

As soon as possible, the immense magic that dwells in it is freed.

The world twisted like a joke.

I do say that being a metastatic has the power to shape the world - no matter how many times I experience it, I can't help but feel that.

After the feeling of floating and the world shifting, the scenery switches in an instant.

From one church cathedral to another.

Sometimes it was prepared by the Cathedral Church, and it was mostly the Church that was prepared as an instant destination by the 'Circle of Fairies'.

Villages and towns of some size were convenient in that sense, as churches were first placed.

Church buildings are basically the same construction method, so the scenery doesn't look very different when you transfer them.

But I did find out that he moved somewhere else.

By the way, it's been the fifth day since we started moving.

By the end of the day, it was planned to reach the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial family where the Imperial capital is located.

If you're traveling normally, it'll take you three months to get there even if you hurry.

Not at all, I don't feel it.

I felt so horrible somewhere.

"... that's a hell of a force"

The pounding and the words have leaked, but I don't think this is an impossibility.

The same goes for Iino, but the two-named psychic of the expedition is too out of common sense.

In the meantime, I just said the power of the transcendent to overturn the principle.

With that in mind, Mr. Shimazu opened his mouth.

"I'm not."

I was going to talk to myself earlier, but he heard me.

It sounded like a boring tone.

"As a brave man, you're not that helpful in combat."

"It's useless, is it?

I frowned.

Because it was an unexpected word.

If Iino's "Weiwaten" packs the distance from his enemies faster than anyone else, Shimazu-san's "Circle of Fairies" eliminates the concept of distance.

Depending on what you think, that also seems to be the complete superior compatibility of Iino.

But it seems our self-assessment was different.

"The leader is not to say, mine is no big deal compared to the other members. Because it's about me, I know exactly what's going on around there. I admit it's convenient."

Try shrugging your shoulders.

He seemed somewhat careless because he consumed magic.

This older girl with a cool impression looked good in those tricks.

As you can see in the flush, my gaze turned to this one.

"In that sense, you know, although I think you're more capable of being extra amazing"

"... what do you think"

I returned vague words.

Right now, it was the truth that even if someone told me that to twist and bend the world's laws, I would have trouble ending it.

"I don't think so -"

I just said it, not humble, and my eyes met Lily by my side.

I laughed all the time.

"-No. For me, I admit, it's a great force no more"

"Oh, you're cursing me."

Just kidding. When I said it, Shimazu shrugged his shoulder.

With teasing eyes, he compares me to Lily.

On his mouth, he had a favorable grin.

Sadly, I had quite a good relationship with Shimazu-san during this journey.

This is the situation.

Whether or not we rendezvous, it is better to have a system of cooperation with an explorer who is hometown and has power.

It was comforting to have a good relationship with Mr. Shimazu.

She's highly valued me, and I'll have to think of a response to her suggesting joining the expedition by the end of this meeting.

While we were talking about no benefit that way, people who were a little further away were approaching.

"I've been waiting for you"

I bowed my head respectfully, they are the priests and knights who prepared this place.

It was one of them who spoke to Mr. Shimazu, dressed in Cathedral Knight gear.

A knight who would have worked with the local church to prepare to receive us.

In fact, this time, when he came from Imperial Capital to Akel, Mr. Shimazu was bringing with him the knights of the Second Squad of the Diocese Knights.

They stayed on the way and were ready for me locally.

On this journey, I can say the Shadow Merit.

When people ask me about the Cathedral Knight, there's something about me that really makes me feel better, but unlike the Travis of the Fourth Corps I've encountered before, I don't feel bad about it.

I guess that means there's a good selection around here.

"Welcome. Thank you very much."

Mr. Shimazu returned the words by cutting up a conversation with me.

"I'm a little tired, can you give me a break in my room?

To the advancing diocesan knight, she asked for guidance to the room.

It was to rest slowly and restore the magic drained by the movement.

"Of course it is. We have a room for you."

"Thank you. Well, I'll let you use it."

"Oh, my God."

A smudged voice rose.

Shimazu-san looked back and raised a slight frown.

At the end of his gaze was the figure of Mr. Handwash, the Lord of his voice.

"... you. I'm sure you haven't forgotten there's one more than planned."

"Wow, snake! Senior Yona, help me."

"Don't count on me."

Your hand washer tried to escape at the end of Iino, but you can't possibly take the back of 'Weiwaten'.

Even with two names from the same expedition, there is no such thing as a line of 'Weiwaten' in speed.

"Yikes, Yikes -"

A light protruding handwasher screamed at Shimazu as he circled his cheek.

Whether you're punishing me or squirming, there's a yellow voice coming.

After about ten seconds of hospitality, thinking of his junior cheeks, Shimazu freed your hand wash somewhere neat.

So, I noticed this gaze, and Shimazu tilted his neck.

"What?"

"No. He said you were close."

"Really?"

Mr. Shimazu shrugged his shoulder.

'Cause then I'm gonna get some rest'

"Yes, good job"

Shimazu-san walked out, taken by clerics and several knights.

The remaining clerics looked back at this one.

"What do you do?"

It wasn't about anyone, it was about asking everyone on the spot.

Naturally, some of them included Garbera, who looked and knew immediately as a monster.

The cleric's expression is clearly harder than when he was speaking to Mr. Shimazu.

Clergy and knights other than those who had spoken were also felt turning their attention to me and my family.

I guess they're scared.

I had no choice.

In Akel, the premise was a reputation for protecting the elves of the pioneering village from the ravages of historically unfamiliar Macrolin Borderline Bertian forces.

We then proceeded to interact carefully and set the situation in order.

But the clergy, who are just on the move in this land, have no time to deepen their exchanges without the help of their previous reputation.

If you think about that area, you should rather rate it as well controlled.

The cleric offered only in a polite tone, though with a hard expression.

"We have a room for you, let us know if you need it. Anyway, you can wait here until the time comes."

In this journey, the instantaneous journey by the 'Circle of Fairies' takes place in three parts: in the early morning, after noon and in the evening.

Because we really need an interval to restore magic.

Naturally, then, the substantial time required for travel is significantly longer than the waiting time.

Specifically, in each of the morning, noon and evening, there are approximately four instantaneous trips.

Because of the transfer in large numbers, activation of abilities requires a concentration of magic for a few minutes, but still takes less than thirty minutes.

It's early morning now, so I had time until after lunch when Mr. Shimazu finishes his break.

Or you can't go out of this church.

For once, the premises should have no problem walking away because they're paying people, but the Gerberas can't leave just in case it gets noticed.

At best, it would be about the courtyard.

Nor would I or Lily be blamed for going outside the church grounds, but still, given the current situation, I can't help but think about when something happened.

I didn't feel like leaving my people.

Come on, the church is designed to accommodate some human beings.

Like when I was traveling to Akel, I don't even feel cramped.

I'm just bored.

You just have to be quiet.

These circumstances put the dragons in the dragon abyss in the same position.

Akel's Civilians are a little different, but they're here at work, and they sometimes have meetings about future negotiations.

For this reason, each had spent time in the church of contemplation.

But the story was different, especially for those who didn't have a job and had no reason to accept boredom.

"I think I should come out of town."

As everyone began to spend their time as they liked, your hand washer raised his voice with an exciting expression.

She has no reason to be stuck in church.

Of all the faces here, she was the only one in a slightly different position.

So it may have been inevitable at this time that there was a slight problem.

"When you came here before, you found a delicious opening."

Smiling, your handwasher shook his ponytail and looked back.

"Vegetables! Today is the day we go together!

It was Kato who was invited.

During this journey, your handwasher spoke to Kato about something.

The two interactions that take place in that way are basically soothing.

It means I was close by the time I went to school, and I guess I still feel like it.

It's just that on this one matter, the story was different.

"... no. I will stop."

Kato, who was gazed at, looked in trouble.

'Cause there's something to do.'

Easily say no.

As soon as I did, my dissatisfaction was raised.

"Er. That's boring. Let's go with you, too."

Your hand wash told Mypace and pulled Kato's arm.

"Ah."

The body was easily attracted.

They're both little girls if it's just the way they look, but your handwasher has two names: "Rigidarm Snow".

It was natural because there was a difference in power between young children and adults.

No. Even if I didn't, I might not have been able to strongly reject my friend's invitation to make this all fun.

Mr. Handwash, as it were, tried to take Mr. Kato.

"Sa, go!

I have no malice towards her smiling.

Though a little forceful, she's just inviting close friends.

There was their 'as usual'.

Look around at the rarities of strange lands - for example, if you two lived high school life like that, advanced, and even went on a school trip, you might have seen the exact same interaction with this.

I'm talking about Kato, who's well looked after.

If that had happened, I would have smiled at you and walked with you to see a strange city.

And she must have enjoyed her time with some of the friends she felt comfortable with herself.

But it didn't.

Because their 'as usual' was already a thing of the past.

"... Huh!

Kato's face, which draws his arm, was faintly drawn.

It had been repaired, but there were subtle changes that only close people would notice.

Basically, Kato can't walk outside without me or Rose right around the corner.

No, not just outside, but on this occasion there are men from Akel's mission, and there are men from the surviving dragon in the dragon abyss.

Kato, who was pulled out and walked out, was about to leave Rose, who was right beside him.

That's all, I can't do it anymore.

Now you'll fall the minute you get out of church.

"Waited."

And when I knew that, I called out to your hand washer.

"I'm sorry, Kato has something to do."

At your hand wash, Kato looked relieved.

In contrast, your hand washer's face became cloudy immediately.

"Yeah...... another time. Isn't that the way it's always been?"

Say it full of dissatisfaction, pointing your lips.

I guess it's an honest personality.

I was just wondering what was going on, and an unexpected shooting of cover came from me.

"Here. I'm not playing."

Iino pinched his mouth.

Apparently, he gave me a help boat.

It had a embarrassing tone.

"Even Kato has something to do, right? Don't interrupt."

"That sounds like it..."

After receiving a backup fire, your hand wash momentum dropped visibly.

They were two names from the same expedition, and the words of the admiring seniors were huge.

Mr. Handwash looked back and laid his eyes down as if Kato, who had a good eye, was sorry.

"Sorry, Aoi"

"Uh. No. Sorry about this one. I'm busy."

When your hand wash let Kato go, you made a sound and held hands together.

There's something a little casual about it, but I guess it's not even selfish enough to pass through me.

She honestly turned her heel back.

Then I'll go.

However, the voice I told you so seemed somewhat unfortunate.

I was a little sorry.

No offense to her.

He said he found the store open, but after a moment, he may have been innocently looking forward to going with Kato.

Most importantly, that's why I didn't have the option of stopping it because it would have been a big deal if I had just left it alone.

There was nothing I could do.

Are you okay?

After I dropped off your hand wash, I spoke to Kato.

"Ah, yes. I'm fine. I'm a little surprised."

That being said, it didn't seem very okay.

The expression is stiff and has a little force in the body.

I can't help it.

There was no hesitation in your hand washer's behavior, just no offense, because he could really have been taken outside if he had stayed that way.

When I walked over worried, Kato approached me.

From a close acquaintance distance, a step further.

He leaned close enough to touch me to make me feel a little more comfortable.

Most likely, such behavior was unconscious seeking reassurance.

Mr. Kato finally took a breath or pulled his strength out of his tense body.

"... thank you"

There was a more distracted grin on his face that looked up at this one at a close distance, whether it was a nervous recoil.

It was a defenseless smile, like a relief from the bottom of my heart.

It conveys that you are forgiving me, and as for me being aware of my feelings, I find myself in trouble with eye contact.

"Oh, no. You don't have to worry..."

That's how I wandered my gaze - my eyes met.

……

Iino was looking at this one.

He has some amazing eyes.

Something tells me to come here silently in my jaw.

Apparently, we need to talk.

"Bye, Mr. Kato. See you later."

Sometimes just now, and Kato would rather have a private room than a cathedral with other men.

So I decided, and I spoke to the cleric, and I left the rest to Rose to go to Iino.

"What?"

When I asked, Iino grabbed my arm.

Pull the arm you grabbed and walk out.

"Oh, man."

"Fine."

Lily was following us, but Iino just turned to you for a moment.

We moved a little further away from everyone on the wall.

You mean there's something I don't want you to hear?

Most of all, as far away as this, it sounds like a keenly sensed gabella, and even if Lily comes with it.

So what I don't want you to hear is, is someone specific?

When Iino stopped his leg, he let go of my arm in a rambling manner.

The look back seemed unhappy.

"Hey. Hey, Mashima. You, do something."

"... that's a stick from a stick. What are you talking about?"

"You've decided about Aoi and Kato."

Saying, Iino ran his gaze into the diocese.

Just when Mr. Kato was with Rose, he was on his way to the back of church.

"Didn't you tell Aoi about that kid, the male phobia?

"Sounds like..."

"I knew it. Because of earlier, right?"

Your handwasher tried to get Kato out of town without me or Rose's presence because he doesn't know how much that would be a burden to Kato in the first place.

If I had told you the circumstances, even your hand washer wouldn't have asked me out.

Indeed, that was what Iino was right about.

In the first place, whether or not I could tell you the story was different.

"But I can't help it."

Lily pinched her mouth.

"Sometimes we can't talk because we're friends."

What happened to Kato would not want others to know as much as possible.

Even if you are a close friend...... no, maybe it's more because you're a friend who knows who you were before that you don't feel like being known.

If I tell him I'm scared of men, he'll know something's happened.

So I can't tell you.

Still, I have the impression that Kato would do something about it, but that makes her clumsy only about herself.

What happened earlier would be one manifestation of that.

But Hum and Iino snorted.

"I know that. I'm telling you to do something."

Instead of Lily speaking, Iino has been staring at me for some reason.

"You wouldn't say 'it's none of my business' or anything. You're a man."

They were saying things that were disastrous.

I don't know what it is because I'm a man.

But on the other hand, Iino was right that something needed to be done.

Same goes for Shimazu, but I still want to have the best possible relationship with the Explorer's people.

Mr. Handwash was the executive character of the expedition, and it was not preferable that his relationship with Mr. Kato be poorly wrapped up.

Also, ignoring such an interest cannot pretend not to look at the matter.

As Iino said, I didn't mean to have anything to do with Kato.

"I don't know what to do. I'll make some errands first."

Most importantly, there is no great deal that can be done in this situation, and there is no need for it.

It would be better not to be invited than to say no, but there would still be no waves.

It was enough to this extent.

"I have to tell your hand washer beforehand."

"I can't help it. I'll do it."

Immediately, Iino responded.

"I'll tell him subtly. You don't have more horns."

He looked disgusted.

But for that reason, words and deeds were cooperative.

It was surprising.

"... were you going to do that from the start?

"Yeah, but don't make a weird mistake."

Iino's grumpy face became worse and worse.

In a way, it's a look that makes me wonder if I'm the only one with this face.

I'm not happy.

"Aoi is an important companion. That's as natural as it gets."

"Right."

In retrospect, Iino had gone out of his way to return to the colony after the collapse or to run around the world to help his people.

It was only natural to worry about your nearer companion, Mr. Handwash.

"Well, thanks anyway."

"Hmm. Because there's no such thing as being thankful. That's all I'm trying to say. Bye."

At the end of the conversation, Iino just left.

Still impatient.

Most importantly, I am not particularly angry because these kinds of interactions are natural right now.

Instead, I was concerned that for some reason Lily had a face like "Wow" and was dropping that back off.

"Lily? What's up?

"... uh, yeah. Nothing. Anything."

Lily shook her head sideways.

My eyes, which were following Iino, were pointed at this one as if I had regained my mind.

"Besides, your husband, have you noticed?

"What?

"Iino, maybe your husband and Kato are in love."

"... what?"

It was an unexpected word.

But in retrospect, there was certainly such a pretence in Iino's statement.

"Oh, that's why he said what a man was like"

I had a slightly abrupt feeling about those words.

If there was such a misconception, it would be satisfactory.

"Was it always more and more and more grumpy because of the area? For a clean rice field, suppression might have been better."

"No, what do you think? I wonder if that's all."

"Hmm? What's that?"

"Yeah. Nah. Maybe there's nothing I can do about it."

Lily waved for the first time, pulling my hand.

"More than that, why don't you go to Mr. Kato's? Your husband would be more relieved to show you his face."

"Right."

I nodded because I was sure I was concerned about Kato.

Lily pulled me off, but I walked out.

Thus, while there is some trouble to deal with, the movement by the 'Fairy Ring' goes well.

And about that evening.

In the church where I was to spend the night, I was to meet Gordon-Caville, vice-president of the Knights of the Diocese, face to face.

"Are you Mr. Gordon?"

Gordon-Caville, vice president of the Diocese Knights, joined him in a city under the direct authority of the Emperor.

"I hear you've arranged this trip"

He was also the captain of the second unit, the one who gave instructions to his men to prepare them for this trip.

Without his help, it would have been difficult to secure the safety aspect where we made it a fast trip by the 'Fairy Wheel'.

"Thank you for your help"

We shook hands together.

It was a big black hand.

"No, Master Mashima. Thank you for your time."

At a calm pace, Mr. Gordon returned it.

That's the vice president of the Knights of the Diocese? Seeing the relatives I had with me did not reveal any movement.

Instead, I felt something like respect for the look on my face.

According to Iino's story, Mr. Gordon was heartbroken by the barbarity with which Travis went to Akel's pioneering village.

To some extent, there may have been something about me that protected the elves.

"The current confused situation cannot be resolved without the cooperation of Master Mashima. It is only natural to keep you safe on the road, as you will bother to step up to such a distant land. Even during my stay in the Imperial capital, in the honor of the Knights of the Diocese, I will do everything in my power to protect Master Mashima."

"Regards"

After we exchanged greetings, we took our seats.

"It's quick, can I talk to you for one thing?"

I cut the story out of this one.

While I had not yet arrived in the Imperial Capital, I made this contact with Mr. Gordon because there was something I had to listen to as soon as possible.

"What about what you were looking into?"

"I understand."

Was it predictable that this one would say this, Mr. Gordon immediately responded.

"The Angel Doll." Ottomer-Varaha.

"Yes, I heard from Iino that Mr. Gordon is looking into it."

From here the conditions presented to the Cathedral Church were almost fulfilled.

In other words, it also means' it wasn't complete '.

That was the investigation into Ottomer-Varaja.

Regardless, this is not due to Mr. Gordon's negligence.

It wasn't just about Ottomer, he had done his job well enough.

With regard to the remnants of Unit IV, for example, in addition to the withdrawal of orders previously issued by the Captain and the indefinite suspension of the mandate, an order for return has been issued as soon as possible, and those who defy are to be severely punished.

But as for Ottomer and the knights he was leading, there was a reason not to.

"To Mashima-sama, I believe that Iino and Shimazu-sama have told us that the Knights of the Diocese did not belong to the figure of Ottomer-Varaja"

Originally, I made a condition to reveal Ottomer's affiliation.

If anyone gave me instructions to be hostile, it was to find out and have them put away.

But if that person doesn't belong to the Knights, there's nothing you can do.

It was an unexpected development for me, but for the Cathedral Knights side, it seemed even more shocking.

In any case, the conditions offered by this party cannot be fulfilled in order to conclude the talks.

When this fact came to light, there seemed to be a lot of outrage within the Knights.

- Didn't you have to push the challenge about a nasty human being?

- If so, didn't you mean to move to resolve the status quo or something from the beginning?

- Wasn't this the pose to get the big nickname for failing to meet the conditions?

That kind of suspicion erupted.

As for this one, I'm talking about being such an idiot, but if I changed my position, it wasn't an impossible situation to suspect so either.

It was Mr. Gordon who held back those opinions, and it was the two expeditions who brought the story back who insisted that I didn't mean to.

In particular, Iino already had a number of acquaintances in the second unit, so the statement had influence, he said.

Shimazu-san taught me this.

Anything, Iino, who worked vigorously on the matter of the pseudo-brave in cooperation with the Knights of the Diocese, seems to earn a lot of trust.

These places may be described as the glamorous leap of 'Weiwaten', which was running around the world.

As for this, the terms presented were intended only on the assumption that the talks would be concluded.

I never dreamed I was in that situation, so when they asked me, "This blown impossibility was about to break the peace talks," something cold ran on my spine.

Whatever it was, I jeopardized the mistake and Mr. Gordon moved in for an investigation beside the various arrangements I needed to come here.

We looked up the legends of the brave men with the appropriate abilities, gathered information about their descendants, and somehow looked for anything that could lead us to Ottomer-Varaja.

As a result, some results had been achieved.

"We have heard stories of brave men with the ability to fall under the category of 'angel doll', and of having discovered their blood-drawing lineage. Thanks to Mr. Gordon's vigorous activities."

"There is no annihilation either. I just did what I had to do."

"I appreciate Mr. Gordon's dedication. Have there been any developments in the investigation since then?"

"Yes, I went to the house myself and listened to my family."

It seems that Mr. Gordon gathered information on his own feet, though he would be very busy.

Sometimes it's that kind of personality, and I guess I had a sense that I had to move that I was trusted by Iino.

"In conclusion, we were able to confirm the existence of someone like Ottomer. The name was different, but I'm pretty sure it's based on age and appearance. About ten years ago, they put their place in the Cathedral Knights."

"Ten years ago...... is it a past form?

"That's right. I checked again, and I also got confirmation. During the crusade of a certain monster, he had a record as one of the knights who wiped out every squad. From the outset, we have been conducting investigations into those currently affiliated with the Knights, including possible pseudonyms. But it didn't even hit the record of a knight who died ten years ago, and seems to have overlooked it."

This will have no choice.

I don't even manage data on my computer, and my search ability is limited.

It should have been said that it was well managed just because it had a proper record.

"From here it becomes a guess that Ottomer, during the monster's crusade mission, may have fled. Because bodies are often not recoverable during monster crusades, and basically non-returnees are treated as dead. It's my view that Travis might have picked it up."

"Picked up?

"Yeah. If you were a cathedral knight but fled a monster before you, that would be very dishonorable. Ottomer-Varaha and the person's family were aristocrats, albeit small, and the disgrace of the escape would be a great inconvenience to the house. It's a much more likely story that Travis poked me around it and used it to be good. Because a man named Travis was good at gripping those weaknesses."

Only at the end, it seemed an abominable tone.

I guess there's a lot going on within the Cathedral Knights.

I think about what I'm talking about as I leave it around.

"... does that mean Ottomer and one of his parties is a former Cathedral Knight"

"Regardless, this may not be the case with the history...... however, by holding some weakness, we have recently found that Travis had a private soldier. It's not strange to have a former cathedral knight. They may have brought out precious magic tools from the brave."

When that happens, it will certainly not be part of Travis' fourth unit.

The stumbling block of speech fits….

"Senior"

So Mr. Kato pinched his mouth.

I had already demodulated from the noon events and had participated calmly in the interaction.

"Hey, aren't there any deviations from what I've been hearing from seniors and Mr. Rose"

"Oh. I thought so, too"

Seeing me snort back, Mr. Gordon looked surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"I had the impression that the man we met, Ottomer, was a soldier."

That reminds me of my own dolled, emotionless man's face.

"I don't think the current story about being threatened and being moved fits the slightest bit."

"Mmm..."

"Of course, this is just our impression."

For once, I'll add.

"It's not like we have any evidence."

"... no. My earlier story is only a guess, too. What Mashima said is that we should consider the various possibilities."

I am not talking about the kind of person who can give an answer here on this matter.

Even in the sense of taking measures, it would be better not to narrow the possibilities without firm information.

Most importantly, it was a harvest to learn that Ottomer was not an authentic cathedral knight.

Unless you are a regular knight, there are limits to what you can do.

In case there's anything still to be targeted for your life, this one's got regular diocesan knights on the escort.

It is not comparable in organizational capacity.

The rest was whether the cathedral knight on the escort could be trusted, but I had decided that there seemed to be no problem there either.

"Including the current allegations from Mr. Mashima, we will include them in the escort."

Mr. Gordon put his fingers together on the table.

That's where I can put my strength.

"Let me be my protector. The Cathedral Knights'" Glowing Wings "will protect you with the pride of a knight"

From the words I told him so, I felt an intention to put him in his duties.

It is also common to Silan, who behaves as a knight.

Cathedral knights are not all the likes of Travis either.

Some are worried about the status quo and are trying to do something about it.

This would give you a lot of expectations for protection in the Imperial City.

With the addition of escorts, the journey to the Imperial City continued smoothly.

To the destination, just a few more minutes.

But there we shall see unexpected things.

What we saw in the town that made Imperial Capital what it is today were as many as two thousand troops, outspoken by the Macrolin Border Uncle.
