The green ups and downs are cut off in blue.

The clear autumn sky runs through the white clouds, covering them from above.

The sun takes away the sight, the squeaking of horses, the sound of armor rubbing, the sound of wind across the meadow.

When I noticed, the man on the white horse immediately approached me.

……

The man on the horse looked over at the people on the street with a clear smile that was no more, and then he stopped and looked straight at the point.

Corano, Mira, Rifia, and Romir, who were next to the palace, all got out of the carriage and knelt at the end of the road.

"Fufu. Welcome home, Ishur."

Even though it was a murmuring voice, it sounded strangely clear.

The man looked divinely radiant in the pouring sun.

I feel dizzy.

Welcome home.

The smile burns into the retina.

... no, don't drink it.

I shook my head and got up from the stand.

He stepped out of the wagon and lined up beside Collano. But I didn't do it until I got on my knees. He dropped his hips and lowered his head.

...... I'm no longer an ordinary person.

"It's been a long time, I'm glad you had a bad breath."

The crimson cloak turned over. A man got off his horse and stood in front of him.

Salomon, whom I had not seen in a long time, was noble, unremarkable, and beautiful.

"It's a shame, Your Majesty."

He doesn't want me to be more than I need to be.

I don't greet you with euphoria. I parry.

I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

It was a full smile.

It looks like you've got Fior's magic device safely.

Your eyes are even narrower.

Now we have all five magic tools.

"... yes"

I'll give you a smile, too.

"Thanks to you, we now have all the magic fixtures." Thank you very much for your help at Soleil. ”

Umu

Salomon nodded like a stream.

It wasn't just Leni who went out of his way to help us, Lord Sorelle. There was no doubt that this man had instructed us to help him directly.

That was also part of the gratitude to Leflaide, but Salomon had done it with a single word.

Instead, I suddenly stepped into the subject.

Even here in the Holy City, I wonder if Jerez could help you again.

The smile was slightly distorted.

No, I think I'm going to need your help again this time.

Salomon quickly drew closer to his face, and said with a lurking voice.

"You've already heard from Ruflaide, right?" About the artifact of the previous king. "

At the same time, a riding horse was riding and hoisting loudly as if it was some kind of signal.

A mountain of silver armored horses swayed like waves behind him for a moment in the autumn wind across the hill.

... yes, I see it.

The clear blue sky and the sun, the green and silver colors, are a magical confusion.

"Well done, Leni Pujer."

Salomon knelt in front of Leni, smiling gracefully and gently.

"This will save your hometown."

“Yes, thank you. This time, Lord Bersh will help me.──"

"Hmm, I've already heard that story."

My lord Pujal, I will speak with you at the Royal Palace at a later date.

Bish, the butler who was standing behind Salomon, cracked it from the side.

Leni bowed his head deeply, and Salomon nodded in a high mood, and stood before Mira, who knelt next to her.

"Mila Dielard, thank you very much." I wanted to hear about this adventure as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to it. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Anything you call out to us, we will be there immediately. "

Salomon then stood in front of Liffia.

"I'm glad that the Frontier Master is safe." I would love to hear about Ishur's work from you. "

In the coup d 'état of the previous year, Liffier was helping Salomon. Furthermore, Salomon spoke with a slightly different tone to her, the great nobleman of the Kingdom of Ladyship.

"Yes, I can't help it."

Liffia replied eerily and bowed. It's like a warrior.

"Hey, it's my first time to see you."

Salomon stood before Nina at the end. They don't know each other at first sight. In the vicinity of Soneto Village, where the Red Emperor Dragon was destroyed, there was a confrontation.

You're the master of water magic, Nina Thruth.

It was a sweet tone that changed and was gentle.

"Yes, yes, yes, today..."

Nina was so nervous that she couldn't answer properly. Now the valves that were supposed to have subsided were appearing on the surface again.

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

So Salomon was surprised by unexpected behavior. She leaned forward in front of Nina, clasping her hands, and told her to cheer her up with a gentle smile.

"Ah, ah"

Nina seemed to be relieved of her initial nervousness, but in a different sense, she got upset and couldn't speak properly as usual.

"──No, Ishur's favorite water wizard is the one you're proud of in the Kingdom of Ladyship."... wonderful. "

Salomon looked at Nina's gripping hand with a seductive gaze that was even demonic, and finally said in a murmuring voice.

... Salomon.

While everyone was stunned by his attitude, Ishur narrowed his eyes and looked sideways, tonguing in his heart.

I wonder if you know about Nina's healing magic.

Even though there is no direct leakage from Leni or Mira, there is a rough spell in Del Veil and Solaire, and there are wounded people, including myself. There is no denying that even a few people in the kingdom have witnessed the healing magic of Nina. I can't say for sure that it will go around and reach Salomon's ears.

... what would you think if this guy found out about Nina's magic?

Ishur's gaze was drawn to Salomon's eyes as he stared at Nina. The subtle change in colour could not be overlooked.

Nina

Despite his first meeting, Salomon called her name cheerfully and continued to whisper more than he was familiar with.

”You don't care about your identity, and you should definitely treat me as one of your unwary friends”

The smile suddenly turned to Ishur.

"... just like him."

The smile grows louder.

"Kuku"

Ishur unexpectedly pulled his cheeks and stiffened them.

... I know the secrets of Nina, the unknown magic of water.

That's what Salomon said.

Don't hide, tell me all about this girl's magic.

However, Ishur quickly suppressed his agitation, put his strength into his eyes and caught his gaze.

... but I can't give in to that.

To protect herself, we can't teach her the essence of water magic.

"Hmph"

Salomon's corner of the mouth is raised even further.

Your Majesty, it's about time.

At that time, Bishu's voice came out.

All of a sudden, they came in from behind. It pierced the gap for a moment and was as sharp as a slash.

When I opened my eyes, there was another person in plain clothes standing further behind the butler.

Magda Perino, the mage with the usual brown cloak. Salomon's immediate escort uses the magic of shaking and stray disturbance, and the magic of blindfolding.

……

Magda smiled when her eyes met Ishur, and she began to interpret it small. As usual, my presence was thin.

Bish came in at the perfect time because she helped.

Even if you've acquired all five magic tools and absolute power, you'll often miss out on the use of anarchic magic like her.

The magic with these elements of "deception" was close to the Spirit God system, and even if I acquired the magic of the five elements, I could not fully cope with it.

Hmmm.

Salomon turned his gaze back to Nina, and greeted her with a small tone, "Later," and stood up, looking around him, and saying, "Now let us return to the holy city."

And it came to pass, on the spot of the highway, that king Salomon's miracle came to an end, and Ishur's party was escorted by his knights, and they entered the holy city together.

"Now, Lord Bersh, this is us."

While I was lining up, Collano Baraldi, who had been with me until now, came to say goodbye.

Korano spoke little and did not touch the events in the suburbs of Daryl, but only said, "Thank you for your care," and led his own merchant team to the Holy City.

He was like a non-existent person from the beginning, and Salomon, of course, had no conversation with any of the Bishops or the Knights, and disappeared beyond the gentle hill at the end of the street.

Apart from Liffia, who continued to travel by carriage, Ishur borrowed horses from the Knights, lined up with Salomon, and went down the street with them.

Clouds flow through the blue sky. At some point, I could see a thin mountain range across the hill.

That mountain range is a great mountain mass to the east.

The horse's head swayed in front of her. Regularly, vibrations are transmitted from the saddle to the waist and the lungs.

The smell of dry grass.

Light horseshoe sounds of Salomon's white horses and his own riding chestnut hair.

A line of silver-armored horseback riders was ahead, and the flag of the House of the Kings was certainly visible.

Everything else is bizarrely distant and scarce.

I continued to meditate on Magda's magic.

It's about Lady Nina earlier.

And it shall be clear from the side, and the voice of Salomon shall be heard.

... Magda is going backwards with me and this man. Except for this Trinity, the sound does not travel to the outside, and the signs are blurred, and the existence becomes abundant.

The range of about ten long steps (Skull, about 6.5m) was particularly strong in her magic, and it was clearly separated from her surroundings like a barrier.

"I won't talk to you. Her secret."

Without paying any attention, Salomon exhaled as he told her to poke it out.

"Hmm, if you say so."

"On the other hand, this is an example."

I turned my gaze to blame.

“Tell me about the Bionate forbidden book you found in the cathedral.”

... I just came all the way out here to tell you that story.

……

Salomon smiled silently and looked sideways.

Of course, it was this man who let go of his confession and let Magda cast the magic of cognitive inhibition.

Besides just cutting off the voices, Salomon and I line up and talk intimate, and we can flirt with people watching from the outside.

It hasn't been ten days since the end of the Harvest Festival. In the streets, you can also see pilgrims still returning home. His purpose is to greet me with a flashy performance and enter the capital. His purpose is to publicize── it below the church, but he does not want to show the outside world until the two of them talk in private. We can meet slowly when we get to the royal castle, but I don't know what kind of ears the court has. Even Salomon may have difficulty blocking or eliminating everything. Then you probably thought that the important story should be done on the streets of the suburbs, where there is no shelter and no workmanship.

"That's right. We still have plenty of time to get to the Sacred City, but we better get this over with."

Salomon split up his troops back and forth to return to the Imperial Castle. The Bishu and Mira carriages were assigned to the back rows, and Salomon made a distance between the front and the back, and had Magda put up a moving barrier, so to speak, and came to the "secret talks" during the day.

Keep me away from the Cathedral Church, which is tugging me around Bionat's legacy, to be on my side.

I haven't heard much about it── yet.

"Huh? You're the one who's not gathering information?"

The sound of a horse's hoof is mild and pleasant. But somehow, I can hear it somewhere out there.

"There's no one like that. Just a few words from your brother's subordinate."

I've already received an invitation from Nizza, and I know the outline, but of course I won't let that happen. The basic information is that it was obtained from Collano.

Well, I'll explain more later around Rufizzo.

Mira's eldest brother, Rufizzo, had belonged to his faction since Salomon was a prince. Recently, the Duke of Sandellini, a supporter of the same faction, was appointed to the post of Secretary of the Interior, while Rufizzo was appointed to the post of Secretary of State. Incidentally, Rufizzo's twin brother, Romeo, practically runs the family on his own as the principal agent of the Duke of Dielard.

Thank you very much.

When he fell asleep and thanked her, Salomon shrugged his shoulders slightly and nodded tenderly.

"Right now, we and the church are fighting over the possession of forbidden books, but for Ishur..."

Then Salomon gave a mischievous smile, and cut off his words.

I'd like you to join me and help me recover all of my late father's belongings.

He stared at me sideways. Sounds like fun.

"You don't have to do that."

……

Huh? Surprising. You don't have to be on my side, do you?

Well, I will lead the Knights to greet you and accompany you to the Royal Castle.

Salomon looked a little serious and turned his gaze in front of him.

"In other words, I don't want to be on the side of the church, but if you keep your neutrality, that's fine." Today, I just want to show my king's family your reputation. "

"You want to be neutral? Is that all right?"

Leflaide was worried that the struggle between the royal family and the church would intensify, but was that what Salomon thought?

The current politics is more important than Bionat's last forbidden book.

“We're still negotiating with the church, but we're trying to get together. Besides, Ishur won't accept my request, right? You have a friend in the cathedral. [M] You don't want to turn them against you."

"That's true, but..."

"In the near future, in the presence of me and the general superintendent, the proof of the forbidden book will be taken. The arrangements between the two parties would then be formalized. What I want you to do is take it on afterwards.”

"Huh. Then what?"

"I mean..."

"At any rate, Mr. Ulturo and Lord Desio will call on Ishur." Don't hold back from me. You should listen to them too. "

Eh, is that okay?

It doesn't matter. I don't want to go around with the enemy.

……

Oh, I'm a little out of tune. In the Holy City, it doesn't matter much, does it?

"Now, this story is over." You fought Fioa at the ruins of the water temple, didn't you? I definitely want to hear that story. "

Salomon smiled mischievously again and called out to Magda to unravel the magic of blindfolding.

"Shall we hurry to the castle?" I'll listen to your adventures carefully. I'm looking forward to it! "

When the king shouted, he suddenly put a whip in his horse and let it stand behind him, and made the whole army rush ahead.

Afterwards, Ishur and the Knights of Salomon crossed the Dilaive River again and entered the Holy City through Sandellini Castle. Among the many spectators, they marched along Bolino Street, passing the Cathedral and entering the Royal Castle.

At the palace, Salomon's hospitality allowed him to show off his adventures and painstaking stories, before arriving at the Duke of Dielard's residence at night.

Entering the mansion, taking a breath among the small roses that Mira used to spend a lot with, a maid from the mansion came in while pressing a wagon with a tea set on it.

"Oops."

……

Not only Ishuru, but also Rifia and the others were amazed, but Mira was the only one who laughed.

Mr. Ishuru, it's been a long time.

Lucia, the usual maid, sank down and bowed as she stepped forward to Ishur.

"Now, Ishur, let's talk to your brother and hear Lucia's report."

Yeah.

... next is Lucia.

But it's important to gather as much information as possible as soon as possible.

Salomon's offer today was strangely light, having taken a step back. "I'm curious about what's going on..."

Ishur gave a slightly stronger smile and nodded to Lucia with a full smile.
