"So, I'm talking about the cooperation that you guys are going to give me."

At a time when everyone was able to recover and listen, Maisa, who still had tears in her eyes, cut out.

When I finally hear what I wanted to hear, I get up.

Freed understands, but he can help me. I wanted to know what it was.

Maeza looks at Zion.

"... I'm going to tell you a story that no one but Royal Wilhelm should know." I'm sorry, but would you excuse me for a moment? "

"Eh......"

Theon was suddenly told to step out of his seat. Mr. Derris stood up and told Theon.

"It's a story you don't need to know. I hope you'll wait with me in the next room for a while."

"... but... no, I see."

It was Theon who tried to eat it down, but he nodded as if he had given up. Derris and I disappeared into the next room.

Maeza said when the door was closed.

"I'll tell you first." I know this because it's a witch. It's never leaked from anyone, so don't worry about it. ”

"... I see."

Fried replied with a stiff expression because he was told that only the people of the Wilhelm family should know. Maeza nodded agreeing as she turned to me.

"... to open the gateway to the other world, we need a variety of conditions." At least three witches. Special magic, climatic conditions, and people living in a different world. As you can imagine, we're going to need a lot of magic power. Is this good enough for you? "

Yes.

I nodded with Freed. This area was just as Derris had asked, and it seemed natural to open the door to a different world, which required enormous amount of magic power.

"Finally, there is one thing that is indispensable to opening the gates to other worlds." In the first place, the world is controlled by the gods of each world. The gateway to the other world is sealed by the power of God, and we must open it with our own power. Do you understand? "

"... yes"

I nodded thinking that it was like it was locked.

"The gate sealed by the power of God can only be opened by the power of God. The power of God. We need the power of God.”

"Ngh..."

Is that what you mean? I thought I understood with those words why Ms. Meissa needed us.

Divine power.

The special power of Freed. As a descendant of God, Freed possesses a power called divine power, not magical power. That's not something that humans can control, but that's why we need a system called Wang Hua.

That's all I know about the Wilhelm royalty, so I thought it might be, but it was the right answer.

Maeza turns her attention to Freed.

"Our magic opens the way to the door." It's Prince Friedrich who opens the door, your power. Without it, the door would not open in the first place. You know it's only natural that the door won't open without the key, right? "

"... yes"

Freed nodded and raised his hand.

"I'm sorry, I know what Freed's role is, but what about me?" I don't have any divine powers, though. "

Now certainly named after Wilhelm's royal family, but originally she was an ordinary Duchess. I could use neutralization magic, but I didn't have the power of a freedo.

"You have Wang Hua, don't you?" I'll use a lot of force to open the door. That's why you use so much power that you can't control it on your own. You are there to use it without any problems ”

Even without Liddy, Wang Hua would have no problem controlling her divine powers.

Fried dares to use the word divine power and asks.

Then why not?

"No way. It makes sense to have Wang Hua as your side." With or without her, the power to control your divine powers will change dramatically. Prince Friedrich. You know that, don't you? ”

"... yes, I've always felt more stable with Liddy. However, even if I'm away, I don't feel any hindrance."

Ask Freed to open and close his fist.

"It won't interfere with your normal life or the war." But what you will do is to open the gate sealed by the power of God. I was going to use an unprecedented amount of divine power. She's a must for that stability. "

"... I see."

"By the way, after using your power, you will be significantly weakened." You'll have to use your divine powers until they're almost empty. Until it's completely healed... well, I'm sure it'll take about a month or two. "

"That much...?"

I was too jumpy for too long a period of time.

I accidentally look at Freed.

"What, are you okay?" It's true that in winter there's going south of Tarim, right? ”

Friedo was also thinking about it with a tough expression.

"Yeah... the time of day for Talim to go south is pretty much set, and it usually starts about two months from now." Since Harold said at the bilateral meeting that he was starting to prepare for going south, I'm sure it will happen again this year... and being ready right now... as usual, no, it might be a month from now because it might be earlier. "

"A month from now...! It's not like Freed may not have recovered." You can't do that! "

I looked at Kitty and Maeza.

"Meissa, I'm sorry, but I can't lend you my freedo." Because this man is the commander-in-chief of the army, and we need to be on the front line. I couldn't help myself at that time... and I couldn't stop regretting it when I started talking about it. I'd like to return to Theon, but I'm more important to Freed, so-- "

I was desperate.

I'm not sure about the war, but I do know that Friedo always comes back without a scratch because he has powers that are not normal. But what if you can't use that power anymore?

- I don't want to!

It's creepy.

I thought it was impossible to imagine that Friedo would get injured.

I stood up and appealed to her.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If F

"Liddy, calm down."

It was Fried who also stood up and reprimanded me for crying.

He draws me in and hugs me.

"Liddy, I'm fine."

"It's okay... you don't know that...!" I mean, Meisa-san takes two months...! "

It reminds me of last year. It was before I realized that I still liked Freed.

Even then, he went to war with the Talim, but I couldn't remain calm. I remember getting upset with my brother for telling me the story.

Even then it was in such a state. Now that he's fallen in love and married, just thinking that he might have something to do with it makes his palpitations violent and his chest painful.
