Operation Tarim's southbound too soon.

And unexpectedly, Arcanum Island entered the battle.

Knowing that Wilhelm had been placed in an unprecedented predicament of being attacked by two countries simultaneously, I left Liddy and the others in the office and quickly headed for the Great Hall.

Besides being in good health, I still can't even keep up with the conversation.

It's true that you can't use magic or magic, but if you want to go to war, you have to do it in a way.

Especially since I use the method of putting magic on my sword, I thought it was tough not to use that strategy this time.

― ― As long as it can be used, it can be finished in an instant.

Magic Power - As long as my divine power returns, I could kill 10,000 opponents in an instant. But the reality is ruthless.

I've lost more power than ever before, and I can't use magic.

It will definitely take some time to get rid of the Talim.

Why did you set it up so quickly?

Usually, winter comes at the beginning of the season.

This battle, which Talim calls southbound every winter, is light for more than a decade, but it has never happened before.

That's why I was subconsciously assuming it.

Talim comes south when winter begins. So there's nothing else to come.

If you think about it, it's a stupid story.

It is not decided that it will come at the same time every year. After being able to do the same thing for more than a decade, I thought, "This year will come at the usual time".

Maybe it will be the same for everyone, not just me.

The Talims will be heading south next month, so it's time to get ready.

Recently, I remember my father saying that. On the other hand, even that prime minister unwittingly replied, "That's right."

No one thought that maybe they would come early.

It was in the form of a pierced gap.

But, oh--that's why now.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first time I was born, and I am losing my strength.

If you're talking about the time, it's only about two weeks.

The Tarim set off southward as if he had set his sights on it.

I know it's a coincidence, but I can't help feeling artificial.

"There's nothing I can do about that..."

When I returned Theon, I was the one who decided to help. I don't regret the decision.

If they ask me the same thing right now, I'm sure they'll agree to cooperate.

That's why we have no choice but to do what we can with our own power.

To protect the country.

Freed!

"Alec."

Alec ran from behind as he called out and looked back. He is not a Musketeer, but he is not irrelevant.

You must have heard the call. He asked quickly as he lined up next to me.

Talim is heading south?

Looks like it.

"...... it's still autumn, isn't it?"

Alec, with an unbelievable face, said with a bitter smile.

"That's right, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go south in the fall." I just assumed that we would only come down in the winter on our own. "

"I guess you did a good job with that..."

"Come on, I don't know. After all, Tarim is not the only enemy this time."

"... Arcanum Island. I didn't think that island was going to set us up." You know, we met at an international conference, right? What was it like? "

"It was always a friendly attitude." I think it was very favourable to Liddy. "

"To Liddy? Why?"

It was a natural question, but I shook my head to the side.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the details. But, yes... I'll just say that Liddy's friendship is broader than we thought."

Lady Ilya, Liddy's friend, is a Beastman.

The fact that her mother was coming to the country and that Lidy had her meet with Ilya.

The fact that Lena took care to be able to meet her parents.

Many things overlapped, and the people of Arcanum seemed to have a lot of good feelings for Lydie.

Ilya's parents were chiefs.

It has a lot of decision-making power. I wonder if they'll be willing to compete with Wilhelm, who has a favorite Liddy.

Thinking so, I remembered that they were saying something when they left.

I want to, but I can't. They left with that look on their faces. A voice leaked out unexpectedly.

I see.

Friedo?

Exhaling, Alec saw my face. Shake your head to the side.

"No, it's nothing." I just remembered. They were going to say something to us when the international conference ended and we returned to our country. I said that I couldn't say it, but maybe he tried to tell me about it. "

"... that's what happened?"

Yeah, I didn't know you were going to attack me.

"There's no way you can read it. Most of the beasts on Arkanum Island don't feel like they're dealing with us humans. Well, that's because humans captured the beasts and enslaved them."

“Yes. Basically, they don't actively try to get involved. And this time it was different."
