The "world union" seemed to have worked well, and Anastasia felt that her awareness as an "ally" was rapidly diminishing.On the other hand, I knew that the "Silver Balance" had moved to destroy the monsters that appeared, but I wanted to join you, but the High Elves were busy recovering the damaged Templar Knight in the High Elves and using magic and bows to destroy the flying monsters.When Anastasia decided that it would be better to crush flying monsters, given what she was good at, she tried to move again.

I suddenly appeared in front of Anastasia after a while wondering if Yuri, the sister who had declared her dissolution as High Elves' ally representative, had disappeared.

"Onee-sama!? Where have you been so far?!?"

As Yury, who was kneeling, slowly stood up, she turned her gaze out the window.

There is a battle against monsters.

"... I can't forgive you."

Huh?

"There must be no such filth in the goddess's world.We are the kind chosen by the Goddess. "

————

I couldn't understand the words just now.

In the meantime, Yuri stepped out of the window and turned her hands to the sky.

As the spell was cast, several magical formations appeared at the end of the palm.

"Extreme magic...!? Everyone, please get down!!"

Anastasia shouted, but it was a little late.

Yury's magic created a giant tornado.Wind pressure breaks windows and storms blow through the cathedral.The broken stained glass flies, and the monsters and shrine knights in battle are blown to the wall.

On the other hand, the people who were fighting outside were also incited by the wind and rolled.A flying monster crashes into the wind, causing instant death or serious injury.

By the time the wind stopped - all acts of combat had been suspended.

"-- Kill the fallen monster.And bury and purify. "

Yury looked back when she told the people outside.

Through the broken window glass fragments, sunlight falls just past the middle of the south.

Like this —— I didn't think about the impact on my surroundings, and I wasn't the kind of sister that would cast magic on my emotions.

Anastasia is confused about what happened.

There are still a lot of people lying down in the cathedral fleeing the storm - Yury smiled at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's make this world where the Goddess lives beautiful..."



The world has changed.

It wasn't just the emergence of powerful monsters, the emergence of new inhabitants, changes in terrain.

One is the disappearance of the ball of talent.

There was no problem with living face-to-face because there was talent left in the body, but the children who will grow up will not be able to use the ball of talent, so they will have to learn the technology on their own.

The other is the birth of a new religion.

Originally, the church was built by gathering the users of Restoration Magic , but instead of believing in "God", which is unknown whether it is present or not, it was switched to a clear form of faith in "Goddess".

And a lot of people thought, well, what kind of change is that?

However, it was a major change in the upper echelons of each country.

Until now, the church has prioritized gifted jewels such as Recovery Magic , while cooperating with the state in nursing the wounded and sick.

But the ball of talent is gone, and the country has lost its advantage over the church.

Then, against the backdrop of Recovery Magic , the Church becomes influential in the upper echelons of each country.

"--Another request for troops."

Three months had already passed since the treaty had been broken.

As the autumn deepens, it is cold at night to predict authentic winter, and it is full of chilly air that rings when played.

A man walks down the hallway pointing a shiny silver wand - this is obviously made of sky silver (Mithrill) - and bends his hips next to it to make a report.

Behind them were the escorts.

King Geffelt, the leader of the Federation of Keithgrains, who spreads vast territory across the continent, looks painful.

"Ha... let's go."

"Move the Kingdom of Ligura. There's plenty of stuff there to spare and do."

"I think they're going to demand a reward."

"I think how convenient it has been for these people so far."Now is the time to show loyalty."

"Yes, sir."

When the man laid his head on the horn, he saw off a party of King Geffeldt who were moving forward.

"... Father, what is the church so anxious for?This is the third time the Church has asked for military service.It's a pace once a month. "

The son of King Geffelt, the prince of the king, asks.

My son was already over 60 years old, and his body was strong, but his body was already downhill.

"I wonder what the goddess is saying."

"You should just leave the monsters on the perimeter...Wouldn't this kill monsters all over the continent? "

Isn't the goddess a cleansing habit?

Not knowing whether it was a joke or a sarcasm, the escorts smiled subtly.

The church is using the name "Goddess" as a shield to burn down monsters in every country.

The companions whisper to each other.

"-- I didn't know that breaking that covenant would have such an impact.Did the church create a fictional existence called "Goddess"? "

"--but why should I blame the 'Goddess'?"

"... but there was also a rumor that the Goddess had moved under the Pope."

"--The rabbit will be a rabbit.That's what the Church thinks in order to foil His Holiness. "

"--But Cardinal Thomason also resigned, and his seat is vacant.The fact that His Holiness the Pope decides all the decrees individually.... "

"--Is it a cleansing habit (...) for children?"

"--Must be."

A small laugh rises.

They are nobles and those who believe that they are at the heart of the great power.After all, I believe there is no crisis near me.

"Father, there are some who take down monsters, wholesale materials, and make a living.If you're driven away, that's it..... "

"Destroying everything is not the only way to die."

"But will the Church's demands continue?"

"I entrusted the Kingdom of Ligura because it is adjacent to the undeveloped land of the 'Canyon'.and expel them to the land that is not open. "

"In other words, did Father say that you should lock up the monster in the" Canyon "and step in when you need it?It's like withdrawing money from a loan. "

Prince Wang said, "That's your majesty," and "wise eyes," and so on, from among the companions.

King Geffelt snorted a little.

I didn't say it was right or wrong.

The party arrived in a small conference room.When the door is opened, the magic equipment of the light shines brightly inside, illuminating the dark corridor so that the accumulated water flows out.

At the same time, the warm air flowed out.

Prince Wang, I need to talk to you.

"Ha. --Thank you all for your hard work."

When the Prince looked back and said to the nobles, they said to each other, "What is this?" "I was honored to be by His Majesty's side again today."

I felt nothing in the usual sight, and the king and son entered the small conference room and the door was closed.

When the chamberlain had a cup of tea to warm his body, King Geffelt opened his mouth.

"... I don't know how many times I can survive the winter."

"Father, what are you saying? The Federation still needs a father in this country."

It was a conversation that had been held many times before.

King Geffeldt's "years later" fraud was also between father and son.

But...

"Not this time. When I heard the name" Goddess, "I finally knew it was time for me to die."

"... Father?"

And the prince of the king discovered unto his father, the lord of the Federation, an atmosphere different from usual.

"There's not much wisdom I can leave you.But they should be the guiding principles of this country for the next decade… No, they should be years. Listen to me. "

Prince Wang felt his spine stretching without knowing.

This is a will —— that's what I noticed.

Father says to him, who swallowed the swallow.

"The 'Goddess' is probably the one who created the gifted ball."

"Eh...!?"

"Don't hurt me and defy me. Disobedience will easily destroy this country.You can see that by looking at the people who were present at the "World Union" as covenants.They said they were intoxicated by "The Goddess."

"I've heard that.Yury, the next queen of my kingdom of Sylvie, says she has a strong 'goddess' faith.The kingdom of the Holy King of Kurvan, where the ancestral kings clashed over the policies of the present queen and the Goddess, and where the nobles were divided in two. "

"When I think about it now, I feel good that neither I nor you were present at the World Union... but I don't know what actually happened."

"Exactly."

I mean, what you need to do right now is get in touch with Cardinal Thomason-- the former Cardinal.

"Are you looking for your retired boss?"

"That old raccoon, who can't be boiled or baked, can't quit if it's easy.What's more, it's impossible to leave such a messy church. "

Prince Wang was surprised.

It also sounds like King Geffeldt, who seldom praises people, makes Cardinal Thomason sound ridiculous when he only listens to his words, but it is a close approximation of "foolish praise" from the Crown Prince.

"... there's a reason to leave.Does it mean that Shinjita held some secrets or withdrew because of a conflict with the "Goddess"?If we leave him alone, he could be in danger... and I should contact him and give him the proper reason to protect him. "

"I wish I knew."

It was difficult to understand the expression of the old King Geffelt, but it was clear that he was satisfied with the answer of the Prince.

But Prince Wang was Prince Wang and his spine was frozen.

(How far ahead is my father...?)

If you give me a hint, I can think of you as Prince King.Sometimes you act. But how long will it take me to get to that tip - if my father is gone?

Next, the dragon.

"Dragon...?"

The story flies again, and the prince bows his neck.

"Did you know there are other mediators besides the covenants?"

"Yes, I'm sure -- I was in a position to keep my covenant."

As a result of the abrogation of the Covenant, those who are not are now able to acquire knowledge of the Covenant.

The information was revealed to the upper echelons of the nation as if the fog had cleared.

But how valuable is a broken covenant - the heads of state did not review the covenant and were obsessed with winning the battle against the monsters that appeared before them.

"I've heard a lot about covenants, but I don't know where the mediator went."

"Well... yes, but the dragons weren't known to exist."

"But they had great power.I don't know about them, but so would the Vision Augur.Find out what the dragon has to do with "The Goddess."

"The dragon...?"

"Not a face that doesn't fall into your heart."

"... I'm sorry. I'm still far from my father's recklessness....."

"No, this is just a conjecture.If I had been king of another country, I would have forgotten about the dragon. "

"And you said..."

There are dragons in our country.



The Crown Prince was happy.

"The Duke of Ahenbach, 'Six Mines'!"

It's a mountain that's depleted of talent and lost its function as a dungeon.

Once upon a time there was a dragon, which was attacked and crushed by Uvermeines, the territorial capital.

But it was secretly reported that a new dragon had settled in the mine before the "World Combination".

That's right.

King Geffelt nodded.

"It's an unmanned mine now.But if there are dragons, it would be a good idea to try touching them. Turn to people. "

"Okay."

Prince Wang nodded.

(I still can't lose my father.....)

The dialogue between father and son continued until late at night.



The Duke of Ahenbach's "Rokuten Mine (Six Mine)" was crowded with many miners.

However, the location is now secluded, and the mining town at the foot was destroyed by the dragon storm, and now there was only one hut for liaison officers from the territorial city of Uvermeines to monitor the mine.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't believe this place used to be busy.What remains now is a pile of debris.They took everything that was so embarrassing... I don't think there were any monsters. "

The soldier, who is the leader and liaison officer, talks.

"Is that right? There are fierce monsters everywhere who don't know who they are.The mountains protect us here.That's why the monsters won't get anywhere near us. "

"Hey, you just don't have any food.In this cold place, there's no grace left from here. "

I guess so.

He laughs at the interaction with the other soldier, who was a liaison officer with only two men.

"... that's right."

It was a girl who answered.

The long blonde hair was tied together behind her, and the big purple eyes and long eyelashes predicted that the girl would be beautiful in the future, but she looked neutral somewhere because of the travel costume she was wearing.

Well, let's just warm up a bit.

"Thank you."

The girl —— Lark received the mug that was offered.It contained white water, but this is more than anything in the mountains that have entered the winter ahead of them.

It was hot enough to burn my tongue, but just holding a mug warmed Lark's body.

"So, did you feed your dead father?If you ran into him during the mine riot, he was a disaster.Many adventurers were certainly sacrificed.More than that, the leader died..... "

"... yeah"

"Perhaps it would be better to go early.Every day, every day, every day gets shorter. "

"Yes, I will."

When Lark got up, he thanked him for the hot water and left the cabin.

Don't go in the mine.

"Yes"

The leader must have had more time, and he came out of the hut and called out to Lark.

Lark leaves the city of debris alone.

The gentle ramp that leads straight to the mine cuts through coniferous forests - it's been here since we got out of here before.

(... this is bullying)

The Adventurer's father died here during the mine riot.Using such lies, Lark walked towards the Roten Mine.

The air bandits we've been working with - Cooks are staying in a city even further away.

They wanted to worry about Lark, but Lark refused.

I didn't want to do anything here, I just, really, just came here as a joke.

(There's hardly anything I can do anymore)

I've heard stories all over the city that the world has changed a lot.

But what Lark had to do was apologize to the people who lost their lives in the mine riots.

Mutual aid societies have been created in the Uvermeines to support the families of the sacrificed leader, and money has been donated to them.

The adventurer seemed to have been left alone because it was only his own responsibility, but at least he took the procedure of sending money through the guild if he knew his family.

There was a joint cemetery for the victims, and they headed there, but the artifact was sleeping there, and most of the body was simply buried in a mine.

I wanted to see my family and apologize, but Cooks stopped me.

What happens now when my daughter leaves?Even if a slave like a daughter was told, it wouldn't hurt, and the survivors would just remember the incident and feel sad.Even if the investigation comes in and the daughter is caught, the daughter will only be sentenced to death for being a fugitive slave.In that case, it would be better for your daughter to earn money and send money to her family from now on.

I didn't agree with Cook.

But it made sense.

So I decided to go to the last thing I had to do —— to the graveyard in the mine.

From now on, we'll just send money to mutual aid groups and adventurer guilds.

(It's been so long....)

That day, the day he broke out of the mine, Lark went down the road to roll.

Now that the city was in rubble, Lark broke through the city walls and changed into the children's clothes that had been placed outside the nearby house because the gatekeeper was fighting the escaped slave who had fled earlier.Maybe it was meant to be a charity because it said, "If you need it, go ahead."If you hide your hair in a worn-out hat in old clothes that are repaired everywhere, you are already poor but a child of the city.

(It's cold....)

It was fine that day.

Today there are light clouds and it is dark.The wind that blows is so cold that it freezes.

"Ah...."

I thought the trees were cut unexpectedly, and in front of me —— the mountains were rising.

The entrance has collapsed enormously and there are many huge rocks rolling around.

This may be the first time I have seen it from the outside.

The day I was brought into slavery, I slept on the wagon, and I didn't look back on the day I ran away - because I thought if I looked back and saw Raige, I'd be back.

"... let's go"

Lark walks at a sure pace.

"Roten Mine" -- once a place where talent jewels could be mined.

Oops... when the wind rang, it was like a giant creature exhaled.

No, maybe it was someone's breath.
