"I won't, miss. Entry into combat zones is prohibited.If you want to break it, the Countess has ordered you to force them to do so. "

Maxim, the first officer of the Earl of Sirius and captain of the Knights, did not give up.

Eva is looking at you with a smooth face.

"But the Silver Balance is going to fight."

"That's because they're adventurers.At the request of the Lev Magic Empire, it will be their business to go and crush monsters. "

"Then I shall also serve as a nobleman."

"Didn't the deputy director of the Abba External Relations also say that?The lady is now here in "Ninja" and is allowed to stay because of "Ninja". "

"I'm sure my powers will help you on the front lines!"

"I know that, but Count Sireese doesn't want to use that power."

Eva's "magic eyes of inspiration" ignite the fighting minds of many people.This improved her physical abilities, which had the disadvantage of losing herself, but now that Eva is able to control the increase or decrease of her strength, no disadvantage occurs.

However, this power is powerful enough for Count Sireese to say "trump card", except here.Not to mention using it in other countries.

Then Eva can only sit in a tent set up near the Imperial Gate.

In the evening, the "Silver Balance" returns, so you can only enjoy listening to them. It's a standing position like a hidden old man.

"... what's the status of the war?"

Eva took root and changed the subject.

Actually, the interaction with Maxim is repeated every day, and I don't think my wagamma will go through with Eva.

You're lucky you even came here to leave the Holy King's Landing to find Raige.

"Looks like it's not a bad prospect.Monsters are on the decline and will die before Empire ammunition runs out. "

"... I don't suppose you can count on the support of my Holy King Kurvan."

"Unfortunately, the Knight of Light kingdom is in the same situation, and I don't think any country is free enough to save others."

"When will I be able to go to the unopened land of the 'Canyon'...."

I've been stepping on it for five days now.

To Eva, finding Raj is more than just trying to help him.I knew I had to see Raige as soon as possible because he thought it would be the key to getting this world back together, too mysterious.

But —— contrary to Eva's thoughts, things are going in the wrong direction.

"--uuuuu ~ I worked today ~"

It was 3: 00 in the afternoon that Zelly, a Cat-Beast, returned to her tent earlier than anyone else as a member of the Silver Balance.It is still too early to say at dusk.

She threw the gear in a slippery way.

Well then, I have a wilderness use!

He walked out of the tent with a small salute in his right hand.

I am attending a casino open to the general public of the Empire.It seems that only Zelly receives a daily allowance and uses it to play.

Maxim and the knights on the serious side said, "Is that okay?Dantes said, "It's a way to relax Zelly... probably."

Zeli argued that there was a casino with magic equipment that seemed to be Lef-man, and that it was unusual, but nobody heard the words.

After about two hours, Dantes, Mino and Anastasia will return.To the extent that the Empire soldiers accompanied them as escorts - rather as guards of Anastasia - they returned with the greatest respect when they arrived in the tent.

"Anastasia was great today."

"No, no, no... my power is with Dantes and the army fighting on the front lines."

When Dantes praises, Anastasia is afraid.

Anastasia's Fire Magic certainly spreads its heat into the air if it doesn't get close enough to the enemy.

However, since her magic was powerful, she was treasured by the Empire to be able to take down large monsters as well.

"Mino-san's secret medicine was also awesome...."

"Here, you can make all you need to make the Magic Replicator (Dupe Potion)!"

In order for the Empire to free up its treasury and provide rare medicines, we were able to create several "magic replicators" called "rebuilding activated magic" - that is, you can use the same magic again.

Together with Anastasia's Fire Magic , the firepower becomes extremely vicious.

"What kind of medicine do I make today?"

Mimino on his cheeks had a routine of dispensing medicine after dinner.

Anyway, there are a lot of drugs here that are like dreams.

I've never had so much fun as a pharmacist's half-ring.

"I want to get rid of the dirt before that...."

"Yes, you made a new soap, too.The smell is going to fall. "

"Well, that's great!"

"Mmm...."

Eva looks enviously at Mino and Anastasia talking funny.

Mino and Anastasia also know that she wants to stand on the battlefield, but it will not be allowed.Anastasia didn't mind teasing Eva about her carelessness.

"Er... do you sweat with your daughter?"

"I'm worried!?"

"I know the pain of not being able to do what I want to do."

"Yeah, yeah, don't get along with young girls.The Empire steam bath feels good. "

I smiled and Mino took out a new soap from the tool bag.

"... Mino, I'm afraid we'll see about that later."

Dantes said with a serious look.Captain Maxim and the other knights have gathered.

A knight rushed into the sunset tent.It wasn't an imperial costume - it was a Knight of Light uniform.

"Here, Master Eva-Siriz....."

Exhaling, the knight said, Eva stepped forward.

"It's me. What?"

"Yes, I wanted to contact you as soon as possible.There seems to be something strange going on in your country. "



Magic equipment capable of long-range communication has been developed, but most of it is inside the Empire, which has become a battlefield.That's why this knight came from the city of the Knight of Light kingdom, close to the border.

Having received the letter, Eva looked through it with a harsh face.

"... is this content true?"

"The contents of this letter were acknowledged by the great general of our kingdom, Friedrich Berger."

"Okay."

The knight leaves when he salutes - Dantes waited before he left.

"What the hell happened?"

…………

Once again, Eva dropped her eyes on the paper and snapped.

"... it appears that the Duke of Glengeed has mobilized his troops to take control of the Palace of the Holy Royal Family and renamed the 'Holy King' again."

"Become...!?"

Dantes, an adventurer and not politically knowledgeable or interested, was still overwhelmed by the word "coup d 'état".

Maxim was more upset than anyone.

"Young lady! My lord, where is your father!?"

"It says" Life and death unknown... "But there was a huge battle in our second sanctuary. "

"Oh no! Let's go back, now!"

"I'm not going back."

!?

Eva tells frozen Maxim and the knights.

"What can you do when you get back?The battle is over, and the Duke of Glengeed has named the 'Holy King'.The Duke, who was obedient to many nobles, will soon end up in control of the Holy King's City.Now I think your father sent me out of the Holy King's City in anticipation of this. "

"Oh, oh, miss... but we..."

"What is your mission?"

"... to protect your daughter."

"Exactly."

Everything Eva said makes sense - I'm sure that's why, starting with Maxim, all the knights couldn't move while nodding.

"... mission, but if you still want to go back, I will allow you to return to your father's search."



"Leave as soon as you go.You'd better hurry up. "

Eva turned her back on them and entered the tent by herself.

Maxim and the knights looked at each other - and bowed to Eva's disappearing tent and turned their backs away.

Hot air is already rising in the dark tent.

It also has a strong herbal fragrance, and it feels like the body is washed just by inhaling and exhaling.

There were only two of them in the steam bath at this time.

"... Was Ava-sama happy about that?"

Slow arms and fine white skin were wet with steam.When Anastasia asked, the minnow next to her turned to her face.

It's already a minnow shorter than Anastasia.The tied hair was loosened and dripping, and it was moist and wet.

"It's not good. Eva wants to go back to the Holy Kingdom more than anyone else."

"Still, I said I wouldn't go home because of my duty...."

"I don't know...."

"Will the knights return?"

Mimino shook his head sideways.It means "I don't know."

"But I'm sure Dantes can handle it."

What?

"-- Eva-sama's face looked like the old non.Dantes can't be left alone. "

When the petrification symptoms progressed, Non had occasionally had a contemplated face.That's right, because my father is dying.

But Dantes couldn't help or listen, even if Non was worried.Because the cause of her troubles was herself.

"When you know you're helpless, people can be nice."

Mimino was also feeling helpless.If I hadn't met Raige at that time, I would have waited a long time for a sad ending.

"Mino-san..."

Anastasia said.

"Sometimes you look very old."

"No, because you're older!? How old did you think you were!?"

Even though it was late at night, the magic lamp was lit inside the tent.

Eva is staring at the brief delivered today.I have understood the contents of all the characters written there, and the contents do not change when I stare at them.

Eva was still staring.

"Miss Eva."

Eva turned to the big man who came, saying that her heart was not here.

"Ah... Mr. Dantes"

Can I talk to you for a second?

The difference in status between aristocrats and adventurers is huge, even though they are close acquaintances of Patience and Reggie.

Dantes stops a few steps away and talks to Eva sitting down.

"--Fighting monsters has certainly improved, but it doesn't mean we'll be able to do something about it tomorrow or later.Rather, I think that if a powerful giant monster arrives, the situation could even get worse at once. "

"Is that so...?"

"Yeah, I mean, even if you're here, you're just spending your days for nothing."

…………

Eva is brilliant. That's all she knows about Dantes.

"... you want me to leave the Empire?"

"I didn't say that.However, if there is something to be done, it should not be done. "

…………

Eva closed her eyes and grabbed the hand that was on the table.

"... what will Dantes do when this happens?When you are caught in a situation beyond your power. "

"Nothing....."

"... nothing?"

"I didn't do anything.I just waited for the day the candle fire went out. "

Eva once heard of it.The petrification of Dantes and the fact that Reggie cured it and that Reggie had to escape because of it.

The fact that even this brave adventurer, who walked through many Shura halls, was exposed to fossil poison and did "nothing" came to Eva's mind.

She said that the ruthless part of herself was "nothing but returning to the Holy King's Land.Now that I can't get information, it's almost certain that I can't do anything.Rather, it can be detrimental to be caught. "It was a good reason to suppress my emotions.

"-- but that was a mistake."



Dantes tells Hatty Eva.

"I can't live searching for a place to die... that kind of thing.Now I know how much you've hurt the people around me.In the same way... killing yourself is painful. "

"... do I look painful?"

"Very well. Your cheeks are dry even though you can see your heart crying.Miss, you must be noble.He is proud that Reggie risked his life to protect him.You're wrong to see what you really have to do right now. "

"But...."

When Eva stood up, the cheap chair fell down and made a noise.

Even though her voice is trembling, tears do not spill out of her eyes.

It hurts —— Dantes crushes his heart.

(Such a girl can't even cry because she can't force herself to say that her intentions are a duty of concealment.How dare you say this without saying it hurts)

Eva shook her voice.

"... there's nothing I can do where I went.Just a little girl can't do anything about this. "

"You must be one of them."

"Companions... yes, but Maxim and the knights went to the Holy King's Landing first.They should help your father better than I do.If I stay here..... "

"Ah, a knight captain? It's time to come."

"... what?"

Then a few footsteps sounded.

"Lady!"

Maxim and the knights appeared at the entrance to the tent.

"Everybody... what's wrong? I just went back to the Holy King's Land."

"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, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Talk?"

"I'm with the Lev Magic Empire.I was able to rent an Empire magic airship.Now you can fly back to the Holy King's City. "

————

Eva keeps her mouth open and doesn't know what to say.

The knights say to each other.

"It means we can dive into a ship that exchanges supplies regularly between our country and the Empire.This will allow us to land without suspicion. "

"The Duke of Glenlivet would never drop a ship from another country."

"It'll take days to get there by road...."

"Let's go over there and gather some information."

They didn't even think about leaving Eva and going back to the Holy King from the beginning.

"Lady, you told me you were not going back to the Holy King's City, but I think we should.Your master's orders are absolute, but it is also the knight's duty to make recommendations if you make a mistake.Still, if you think we are wrong, please tell us here. "

Starting with Maxim, the knights knelt on the spot - Dantes smiled.

"Ladies, may I say something to the faithful knights?"

"Ah...."

Eva returned to me.

"... it's my daughter's job to put anything in your father's crisis."

"I know it's a wise decision."

"Um, guys... thank you. I was wrong."

Maxim and the others looked up - it was a reassuring smile.

"Mr. Dantes."

"Yes"

"... well, you guys..."

Dantes smiled at Eva.

"I think it would be better for your daughter to be more wacky.Say, "I want you to follow me."

"... foresight, huh?"

Eva laughed bitterly.

"Mr. Dantes, no, I'd like to ask you to go to the Adventurer Party" Silver Balance ".Would you please come to the Holy Kingdom with Eva-Sirith, daughter of the Count Sirith of the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan? "

"I'll gladly serve you."

When Dantes answered, Maxim and the knights rejoiced.Because they already know what Dantes are capable of.

"Minmino and Anastasia are on their way to get Zelly back.Rendezvous immediately - Zelly can be useful at these times, so we need to use her. "

I can count on you.

As the knights left the tent to prepare, Dantes followed, and Eva went out.

Beyond the heavenly starry sky, several magical airships docked in black silhouettes.

"... Reggie, I'm so sorry.I wanted to go looking for you, but I had to go back again. "

Dantes, who had that crush in his ear, said,Looking back.

"Mr. Dantes."

Ha, what is it?

"--Thank you so much for that. I felt like Reggie had taught me."

"To Raige...?"

"Yes, but -- I'm sure Reggie wouldn't say that, so Mr. Dantes and Reggie aren't."

Eva remembered the boy who was by her side and did everything for herself - literally "everything", climbing trees and going downtown.

"Raj won't tell me to be more wacky."I'll never tell you that again. "
