I ask Rack for a bridge-bridge to the Virgin.

"Dana the Yamato...... you're serious......"

Rack, who had suddenly lost his word, opens his mouth and confirms.

It wasn't the self-proclaimed Player Rack there...... it was the look on the face of a serious man.

"Oh, I mean it"

It is dangerous to leave that boy, the spiritual beast administrator (Leiju Master), alone like this. I want to get some information from the Virgin, who has special powers for that.

Tell the rack without covering up its purpose.

"I will... but I..."

The air changed with Rack's words like that. The air in the only warehouse we have strains.

A serious look at Rack, never even shown during the Giant Dragon Agni Crusade. I'm making some big decisions.

"Mr. Rack, you know..."

It was when such pressing air was straining.

"This inventory...... what's wrong with you guys?

A woman from the seller's office came into this warehouse. Apparently, he's here to check the stock count.

"Nothing, Mr. Elsa. Ah. That stock is out, so it's already out of stock."

"Really... then you have no choice"

To the unexpected intruder, Rack responds deceptively.

To the air in the warehouse, which was heavy, the seller looked strange.

"Rack. Your reply will be fine even tomorrow"

"No... Okay, Dana"

I tell him I won't rush to get back to Sacred Capital to redo it.

But Rack stays for a little while and goes on with his words with a serious look.

"Let's go to the Holy Capital, Dana."

"Lakwe...... Lak sama!?"

To the exact word, this time, the seller's expression changes. Tough tone like someone else. It emitted different kinds of signs from the general public until just now.

"It's okay, Elsa. Dana... I don't know if I can see the Virgin... but I'm here to help."

"Well, thank you. We're leaving tomorrow morning, Rack."

"Roger that, Dana!

Rack returns to his usual tone. Reply with a nostalgic smile from the serious look on your face earlier.

"This Elsa was born in the Holy Capital, so can I take her, Dana?

"Wow, me too..."

"Oh, I'm fine. I'll take care of the carriage."

"Thank you, Dana. If you're ready, I'll take care of it!

The seller, known as Elsa, looked dissatisfied, but Rack doesn't mind accepting.

Earlier exchanges alone can ask that these two are in a subordinate relationship.

Normally, a self-proclaimed player has no squire.

But I wouldn't dare pry.

"Well, I'm going to Taishou."

Leaving it up to those who remained to prepare the carriage, I went to meet Isis, the daughter of Orn Taishou.

Yamato, we're out of time.

A beautiful voice of a girl echoes in the clerk's office in Orn Taishou.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Isis. And Leannhardt."

"You look as good as ever, Yamato"

Indoors were Isis, the Taishou surrogate girl, and Leanhalt, the Kingsguard knight.

Before going to the Holy Capital, I greet the two familiars gently.

"The city of Orn has become much more vibrant than it used to be."

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. The volume of traders from the Empire has increased all at once in the last few months. Thanks to you, Yamato!

By protecting the Empire from the giant dragon Agni, Ole and Lenhardt had gained tremendous trust from the Empire. And between Orn and the Empire, a formal treaty of reciprocity is made.

This led to a surge of traders on the streets linking East and West, and Orn, a relay city, had gained enormous wealth.

"Right. This is also the fruit of the hard work of Isis and his men, who ran away as proxy for Taisho."

"Thank you for the compliment. And the Alliance of Cities proposed by Yamato has been successfully signed."

"Oh, that one? Making it happen is a big deal."

Isis' Talking Urban Union Alliance was one of the diplomatic strategies I advanced last year.

There are several urban states dotted in the centre of this continent, including the trading city of Orn. One country at a time was a strategy that was low in power but also capable of countering the great powers of East and West by forming coalitions.

"The Allied Lords have become my Orn. The signing of a treaty of friendship with the Hizan Empire has served as a boost to the Alliance Lord, Master Yamato."

"I see, you're right. It's easy to understand."

To the east of the central plain, the Hizan Empire, a military power, is expanding its forces.

Other groups of urban states will be in this coalition alliance, for one thing the prospect of escaping the invasion of the Empire.

I predicted this reaction beforehand, too.

The Empire has just completed its great expedition to the south and the power of the country has not been restored. There is also no plan to work with urban groups of countries yet.

In college, I was also ahead of world history, and that was how it was useful. The diplomatic strategy followed by Isis has so far been in order.

Isis has become a fine Taishou surrogate.

"Thank you for the best compliment, Master Yamato"

No one has ever been able to achieve a coalition alliance in the Central Plains. Send praise to the Taishou surrogate girl who accomplished it in just a few months.

Until a little over a year ago Isis was an enthusiastic but somewhat dangerous girl.

That is now the honorable duty of negotiating with other countries as a proxy for Taisho.

"Any strong side of Taisho in another country is a life-threatening negotiation with that Hizan empire... and it's cute compared to the fear of the giant dragon Agni, Master Yamato"

"I'm sure you can say that."

To Isis' joke, I'm accidentally caught laughing too.

She risked her country's fate to enter the Imperial capital.

Complete life-threatening negotiations with the Imperial Knights on the battlefield to crusade the giant dragon Agni again.

Those experiences were making her grow big as a person.

"But there is no such thing as an eternal treaty of friendship. Always gathering information, Isis."

I understand, Mr. Yamato.

Looking at the history of the planet, there is unfortunately no lasting peace. Any great nation is bound to perish, and culture is shifting.

But the culture that blossomed in an effort to keep the peace is never in vain. Excellent culture must be handed down and blossomed into a new era.

"By the way... are you really going to the Holy Capital?

"Oh. He's due back in the fall."

Talking to Isis changes about the future of the Uld carriage fleet. While we're in the Holy Capital, I'll tell him the village chief who stays in the village will take care of it.

"I'd like to go with you too... I'm really busy launching a coalition alliance..."

"It's okay, Isis. This is between the village of Uld and the Holy Kingdom."

Even on the continent, the Holy Kingdom is a great power with the greatest power. You can't get Orn into that problem.

Tell him to only take care of Isis, who worries, and fulfill his responsibilities as a proxy for Taishou.

"But that boy named the Spiritual Beast Administrator (Leiju Master) has Yamato again..."

"I'm fine. Sildria and everyone else."

Reminds me of that horrible boy, who will be persistently after me, and Isis worried.

(Insufficient fighting power...)

I also dress as calm with my mouth, but there is a great chance that the boy will summon more spiritual beasts than last time.

It might be subtle if I and Empress Sildria could handle it alone then. Ideally speaking, I'm comfortable just accompanied by another, handsome warrior.

"Dear Isis... May I?"

"Yes, Lienhardt. What's the matter, sir?

That is the time.

Leanhardt, Kingsguard Saint, who had refrained behind Isis, opens his mouth. He is a serious man, but a more serious look than usual.

"Just a little…" I'd like to take a moment. "

"Are you free?... It's unusual for you."

"I'm sorry. Actually, it's been a while since I've been to say hello to my master."

"Your teacher who lives in the Imperial Capital... to Master Kensei? Of course I'm fine!

Reading something from serious words, Isis pleasantly acknowledges Leahardt's wish for a vacation. In other words, they will accompany the Orn Knight on my journey.

"That's why, Yamato. Give me a ride to the Holy City."

"Okay, leave Orn out of here?

Lenhardt is a knight who boasts some of the best sword moves in Orn. But especially his loyalty to Isis was deep and he always served her side.

I wonder that such a robust man will follow me away from the Lord.

"The Orn Knights are among the strongest in Nakahara. There's no problem without me, Yamato."

"Right. Fares to the Holy City are expensive."

"I owe you one. And you can only pay me with this sword."

Leanhardt answers the query by pounding his hips sword.

I think I can count on the name of my companion.

"The departure is tomorrow morning. I'm hoping, Leanhardt."

Having thus obtained a reliable companion at the Orn Taishou, the Uld wagon convoy was to travel to the Holy City.
