By the way, it is time to stop the licking of Tanatos-chan, which is becoming irritated.

I myself had some thoughts about Tanatos's involvement in the fight against Gallius, and I've been trying to watch that it would be more troublesome for the linettes to accumulate poorly later, but it's time to stop.

In front of Tanatos, who is incredibly incredible as one of the great gods responsible for death, I tried to get up from a chair sitting down to stop the linnets standing like an impassable mountain.

However, shortly before that, Lynette exhales and breathes a little, and when Thanatos is further reprimanded, she drops her shoulders. If you cut out only this scene, you can see that the maid who is accused is the great god who controls death.

"Goddess Tanatos"

"Well, yes."

I was determined to be aggressive, depending on the words spoken by Lynette, but the words and actions that came out of Lynette's mouth drastically reversed my expectations.

"I've talked a bit with Netinecchi so far, but no more.

With today, when you have acquired enough skills as a maid to take care of Gwandan-sama, the linettes will also change their attitude to interact with you.

Both Lynette, Gandéus and Kirlinne apologize for their many disrespects so far. I'm sorry. ''

Gandeus and Kirlinne bow their heads toward Tanatos, as Lynette breaks deeply and bows down.

Until recently, the goddess that Shinshin Maid committed was at the root and he was sulking, and he had no doubt that he had respect for the great god in front of him.

The change in attitude of the linettes, which is equivalent to returning their palms, seems that even Tanatos-chan cannot keep up with the understanding for a while. It would be so.

Once Tanathos breathed big and held his breath, he bowed his head down with a maid-like gesture. The results are rigorously instructed by the linettes and advance self-learning has really helped.

"I accept the apologies of you. Lynette Maid, Deputy Chief Gandeus, Deputy Maid Kirlinne. I took this opportunity to play a blunder that took the place of Gwandan's success too much to float. I apologize again.

And this body is not a goddess in this place, but just a maid who came to serve Gwandan-sama. We look forward to your guidance and encouragement as before.

Well, let's leave it as four, because I don't do anything but three and one pillar, no, it's just a maid according to Tanatus. Apparently, the relationship between the four members could be repaired by themselves before it was broken.

Looking at Gandeus and Kirlinne, it seems that they had been discussing with Lynette for a time and condition to change their attitude before. I can't help losing this point.

The four people raised each other's heads and smiled shyly, and I realized that I no longer had to worry about their relationship anymore.

"So, can I think that I'll be officially added to the maid accompanied by Gwandan?"

Lynette smiles gently and nods back to Tanatos, who seems to be bouncing her chest with hope. Even so, every time I look at them, the appearance ages and positions of each other are reversed.

"Of course, it's not clear what the deadline will be, given your circumstances, but let's do our best to help Gwandan as much as we can. Gandeus and Kirlinne are okay?"

"Yes. I decided in consultation with my sister and Kirlinne. I will not disagree again."

"I'm the same opinion as Gan-chan. I told Tanathos enough to say enough, and I knew that the enthusiasm and skill of helping Gwandan were real."

"Thank you again, Goddess Tanatos. However, it is not possible to call you in the name of a goddess in front of you. It is rare for Lynette to have a name that is unfamiliar with the gods. Not so, but you should be careful. Do you have any ideas? "

Well, when we were working on the ground, Ardes, Amias, and Maillar were also claiming different names, which is a natural flow. I finally talked to the four of them. No, he is an unreliable master.

"Because Tanatos was going to work for me, is there one or two alternatives?"

"That is, of course. With the help of my older brother and nymphs, I've been thinking of names to pass on the earth. There is no connection with the gods and inhabitants of the underworld, in addition to Holy King, Enma, and Mama. We've talked a lot to make it a name. ''

That's why Tanatos nodded and said, "No, no, to miss the days of the underworld." Since the nymphs remember that there were many caring daughters, they would be glad to consult with Tanatos, and would have responded including the feeling of a wild horse.

"What kind of name do you want to go through? Now I am down to Amria and Yachiyo, and I haven't decided to decide early."

"So please call me Berilatu in the future"

"Belilatu, belilatu. This is the last thing I can introduce to the Amrias. But if you come to me at a time when you're going to have a fierce battle with the Demon Army, you're lucky or bad. "

"No matter what place I am at any time, I'm still working hard to help Gwandan, so it's not a problem."

Tanatos and her beliratu, who smile softly, certainly have no problem as I mentioned. As is the case with Renia, he has a strong obsession with and insistence on me, so he has little interest in other aspects. This is a problem.

Linette, who is much more decent in dealing with others than Belliratu, seems to have regained her compassion for those who aren't here because her talk about Belliratu calmed down. .

"By the way, are the Amrias okay? It's not unusual to have dialogue with Asteria, but also General Haursen, who was supposed to be in the Imperial City. Lynette is very worried. He said he was not allowed to be present. "

"I don't want to think about what could be harmed by Asteria and Howlsen, and Asteria" must use it efficiently "for herself," says Howlsen. That's the purpose.

"But it's humans who will dispute without profit?"

"That would make it harder to argue, but Lynette, the three humans in that place are just like Amria. Asteria has a spirituality, and Howlsen is hardly a human being. "

In my answer, Lynette was, so to speak, laughing small and relieved. Yeah, it's safer without humans.

*

At the same time, Amria, Asteria, and Howlsen were found in a hidden room, which was also removed from the drawing, under Barolli Castle. In front of the iron door, which is the only entrance to the room, there is a tense look of Yachiyo and Fuka, as well as a figure of Kyles, bracing his arms.

The two are not hostile at first, but they can't help but get nervous against Kyles, who has an overwhelming ability.

On the other hand, although Kyles is not sneaking out on his face, he is a little troubled by the attitude of the two animals, such as small animals, who expose their fangs with caution. A young man who can't forgive his opponents but can't behave coldly against others.

While the outside of the room is surrounded by unbearable silence, Amria in the room is looking at Howlsen in a embarrassed state, Howlsen observes such Amria, and Asteria observes both, The composition is completed.

The hidden room, known only to the superior imperial rights holders and a few entourage close to the emperor, knows the existence of the marble, in addition to the lighting fixtures that confine the magic light in the crystals on the ceiling and the wall. There are only four round legs and ivory chairs with a thick solid red carpet laid on the floor, a huge agate carved top plate in the center of the room, and a veneer.

It should be noted that only Haursen is standing while the twin princesses of Amria and Asteria are sitting on the chair.

This time, a glass jug and glass are prepared for myself and Amria for the asteria, but this room is originally intended for short-time use to avoid the eyes of the public.

"Somehow, General Howlsen. Could you confirm that Amria was a genuine, my bloody sister?"

Today, Asteria, who braids her long hair and organizes it in a bun, asks Howlsen in a clear tone. By the way, Amria also has the same hairstyle, and the only difference between them is that Asteria wears a blue dress and Amria wears a green dress.

The embroidery of the red empire, with its thick, long horned helmet and armor, still turns its gaze to the asteria and responds to the sister-in-law.

"Um. As Princess Asteria says, this woman is undoubtedly your bloodline. I will recognize you as a member of the Imperial Lomar and also have the right to inherit the throne. It must meet the requirements for communicating secrets. "

"Is General Haulsen a way to check the blood connection between me and my sister or imperial family?"

Amuria, who has the same hairstyle as her older sister and asks the obvious question of the difference, says Haulsen, standing upright and small.

"I agree. From the first emperor to the first emperor, I checked that all the royal families inherited the lineage of the first emperor, and I had the right to inherit the throne. Is also on me. ''

Amria equipped? Leans on Howlsen's words.

"... From time to time, General Howlsen really controls the empire, and I've heard rumors, but it's true.

If so, will the general stay alive from the beginning of the empire to the present? I'm discouraged, but I'm worried about the contents of the armor. ''

Asteria decided to watch the two of them with fun because Amria would cut Zubazuba and Howlsen more than she thought.

One of the reasons for Asteria was that if Haulsen recognized Amria's right to succeed to the throne, then most of the errands had already been done.

"Affirmation. I have been active here before meeting the first emperor. Amria, as you can see, this armor consists of metal tubes, skeletons, gears, etc. It consists of a combination of

I understand that the Guard and I are a product of the technology of golems and puppets that has evolved even more than today. ''

"In other words, is it created by someone?"

If there is an artificially created entity with unique intelligence, there are examples of Lynette, Gandeus and Kirlinne around Amria, but Amria does not know their detailed features.

"Shinari. I am a so-called heavenly heritage that has been operating to this day. The first emperor, Romar, contacted us on standby and concluded a contract to gain authority. We then used our power to unite the region with force and establish the Romar Empire.

After Romar's death, he continues to repeat his inheritance as his next covenant, based on his previous contract with him. This time, I came to Amria to determine if you were entitled to the right to inherit the throne-a contractual right with us.

The ruling of the contract right is not allowed to interfere, whether by the current contractor. That's why I know Rhinos Art when I visit Baroldi. ''

"Is it a heavenly heritage? I often see it in books, but there is actually an opportunity to see it. It seems that there are still many heavenly heritage in Togokoku."

"That's right, Amria. There is a legacy of an active heavenly man around you. Did you not notice it because it is a model very similar to a human?"

Asteria, who shut her mouth in Howlsen's remarks, turned into a grinning face, and Amria screams at an unexpected remark.

"Around me? Yachiyo-san and Fuka-san will be different at first, and Gwandan-sama should be different too ..."

"The Dragonian, a Gwandan, is an unknown entity that neither me nor us can fully analyze, but the three servants who serve next to him and are also guardians of Amria.

Those who claim to be Tornaé have analyzed that it is not a complete heavenly heritage due to the use of celestial technology by modern people, except for two individuals, called Gandéus and Kirlinne.

Although it was developed later than me and has completely different development uses, the equipment and body are in good condition. It was in excellent condition. ''

"Like General, but Gandeus and Kirlinne are no different from talking to humans. The skills of the old people were so good. Is there a reason for the Grand Duke to be with the Grand Duke? "

At present, it can be inferred from the information that Amria has that he is holding down the Imperial City, or that he has tools that only the emperor is allowed to possess.

"Amria, I am on the Grand Duke's side, in the event of a succesful holder of the throne, to evenly distribute the contracted us to both parties."

"We signed a contract ... heritage of the heavenly people?

Asteria turns her eyes and nods her smiley mask.

"Yeah, after my father's health deteriorated, I asked him directly from the father and the general. It was the general who signed a direct contract with the founding Empire, but he was originally a guardian. You can do that, right? "

"Shinari. My primary role is to protect the contract itself and the contracted object."

"The Guardian, General Howulsen, is the Grand Duke, and the descendants of the contractors, who have inherited our first covenant, like the Royal Romans, have come to my side, twelve such as Xanad and Aslam. They are as strong as the wing generals. ''

Xanad and Aslam, who are not here, as well as other guardians, have become Asteria's limbs according to the contract. Guandan's guess based on information he had gained in the fight against Galillius was almost consistent with what Haursen and Asteria said.

Amria organizes the new information given to her and asks Howlsen repeatedly for the next piece of information. To know the secrets hidden in the history of the Romal Empire, anyone will know that this is the greatest opportunity.

"So why aren't the guardians and contractors aggressive in the fight against the Demon King Army? I thought my sister wasn't moving Xanad or Aslam, Is it a contract that neither the guardian nor the contractor can move in the fight against foreign enemies? "

"Hmm, this has been told to the Asterias and the Grand Duke, but basically the patrons and contractors are limited to internal battles on the succession of the throne after the establishment of the Romal Empire. In battles with unusual external enemies, there are many cases where they are basically on the sidelines.

We will take protective action if there is danger to the contractor or his candidate, but may be interpreted as not acting in response to a national crisis or acting only in very limited circumstances. ''

"Would you be involved in the Emperor's struggle and not move on to threats from outside the Empire! It's my own imagination, but isn't it possible to move on to external threats?"

"That's the idea of the first emperor. We decided to use our power to succumb to others and rule, until a nation was created. That's it, I thought it would be inevitable if it would perish. ''

"Then, I wish the generals would have been non-intervening in the fight for succession. I can't help but think that it was a fairer deal. Does it make sense to sign a contract ... "

"If you change your mind, your position and your age, your mind will change. That's fine when you sign a contract, but you may have regretted it in later years. I didn't know until then, but it was a bit stupid. "

It would be too unexpected that Haursen would come up with such a harsh evaluation, and the asteria laughed unbearably.

"Nuffufu, are you a stupid emperor? Fufufu"

Asteria hides her mouth with her hands, but still laughs. Amria didn't care about her sister's humane reaction and could only say about her ancestry.

"Ah, are you ...?"

"There was a desire. It's kind of a gorotsuki."

"Gorotsuki. Is it a foolish idiot ..."

"I'm not the praised personality, but I'm sure he was the lucky and witty to discover and operate us waiting in the basement. Amria. ''

Probably comfort? Hearing Haursen's words, Amria could not stop a sigh of sigh. Well, if the first emperor hadn't signed the Haulsens, their descendants wouldn't have been born this way, so it wouldn't be bad.

"It's no use to say that the deceased has already passed away, so the generals and the contractors can't be expected to fight against the Demon King?"

"Unless you're harming it, it's a contract with the first emperor. Since we haven't accepted any changes to the terms of the contract, negotiations to change them are meaningless."

"It's inflexible. It's inevitable to beg for something you don't have, so let's say it's useless. It seems useless to think. My sister also assumed a fight without a guardian and a general in the first place. Are you coming? "

"Uh-hu ... I'm sorry. Yeah, I heard the situation from the shogun much earlier than you. Even if you can't expect to fight the Demon King, it's a matter of the Empire. It's different for rebels.

I leave the southern rebellion to my uncle, but I tell Xanad to cooperate from the shadows, and even if I put all the movable twelve wings in the Demon King battle, the defense of the empire will not be shaken.

Even now, there is no possibility that the southern powers will be united. There are great things here and there, but there are no great things that can be put together across races, ideas and customs. ''

Amelia was silent on Asteria's statement. Until the facts of the south actually happened, the fact that they had received support from the Kingdom of the Arkest and the nations of the West, for example, is not an obvious indication, but it is a certain fact.

As far as Amria knows, at least support from the Arkrest kingdom has been discontinued, and the power of Prince Rhinos Art and Princess Asteria has remained stronger than anticipated by the rebels. This has led to a situation where the rebellious side has been disturbed and discord has occurred.

It is the most promising future that the rebels will follow, as countless powers will be crowded or defeated by Rhinos Art or Asteria after being defeated by the Demon King.

(It's my self that I don't want Elkenay people to do that, but I got on my sister's scheme to get the chance to go through that self)

Amria switched consciousness. The Demon King who has invaded the Lomar Empire has already largely retreated. The same is true of another corps attacking the Arkrest Kingdom at the same time.

It is clear that the next battle will be an aggression battle, not a defense battle. The problem then becomes what is the purpose and how to achieve the necessary items, information, conditions, strength, etc., to achieve the details.

"I will confirm this again, but it is unlikely that the generals and Xanad will cooperate in the battle with the Demon King in the future.

What is the alternative, but that most of the twelve wing generals can enter the battlefield. If I put my sister and the Grand Duke's soldier together, would they be able to move about 200,000 to 300,000? ''

"First of all, it is impossible to defeat the Demon King Army decisively. There are still two influential people who are called Demon Six Generals, and even high-ranking demons who follow it are capable of approaching or surpassing the twelve wing generals.

For me, I will go on an unknown land, and if my basic technology is better than that, there is nothing but a reckless expedition. ''

Asteria refuse to win with Bassari, but they still do not know the skills of the Demon Six Generals and the Demon King Yaham, and how much strength remains in Mundus Khanus, the mother of the Demon King's army I don't know.

Given these unknowns, it is not surprising that the Romar Empire alone would not be able to compete against the forces of the Army of the Rest of the Kingdom of Arkrest and the homeland, which would retreat alone with the retreating Gallius and Zandarza corps.

"Can you think of your sister too? Then you have to fight with the Arkrest kingdom. With the power of the powerful northern lords who rejected the Demon King's army, including Arkwich in that land There will be a win. "

"It's your backing. Huh, there's so much that I don't know that the presence of you, which was hidden by my father, is a key to surviving the Romar Empire. "

With his elder sister laughing happily elsewhere, Amria notices her elusive speech and looks at Howlsen while turning her complexion blue. Perhaps the adult who was involved in the establishment of the Romar Empire had known himself that he was connected to the Arkrest Kingdom.

It is natural that Amria thinks what she is thinking of, this sister. At this moment, Amria was seriously impatient, as she couldn't think that Asteria had made such a blunder and had deliberately uttered it.

Howlsen has been in this room for a long time since the confrontation of Amria. He doesn't shout his voice, shows no sign of convicting the soldier, and tells him plainly.

"Amria, I know you are impatient, but I don't mind. Because our contract is as tight as possible against external threats, how should the royal family deal with those outside the country and how the empire's future might look like? You can change it.

As you might have guessed, our contract doesn't include anything like keeping the empire forever. We will do our best to stay within the contract, but what will perish will someday perish. ''

"Well, I've heard something unexpected, are you sure?

"Okay, because most of the contracts with Romar have almost been achieved at the time of the establishment of the Romar Empire, so we ignore most of the internal and external illness."

"Hmm? ... Oh! Perhaps, I don't want to think, but did the first emperor think much after or after the establishment of the country?"

"That's right. We didn't allow any changes to the contract, so there's little to do with the survival of the empire. We'll be watching and escorting by side so that the empire's lineage won't break in a civil war like this I realize that the flexibility of our side is substantial, but the content of Romar's head was substantial. "

Amlia lost his respect for his distant ancestors, wondering if he could be called a fool.

"in addition"

"in addition?"

"In these days, it has become so insignificant to keep the contract with Romar forever. One thing is to end the contract renewal when the empire has undergone a major change. I think that might be good. ''

"Yeah? Are you equal to the life of the Empire?"

"We are much more durable than humans because we are man-made, but we may think that we may do something different soon. Even if we do, we can't do anything like it because we still have the original role. ''

Yes, Haursen and his colleagues were up and running before they were discovered by the first emperor Romar. Isn't there a possibility that you have been waiting for some purpose?

The two princesses knew that, according to Howlsen's speech, if things happened, it would be a priority over the contract with Romar.

Haursen's original purpose, apparently unknown to Asteria, is to erase his smile and ask the man with red beetles.

"So what is the role of General Howlsen, the role you have been given by the Creator, the heavenly man?"

"I talked a little too much. There shouldn't be any bugs .... Hmm, yeah ... I was given permission to disclose information to you. Speak to the extent that I could speak. It's not a fairy tale, it's a fact that we jumped out of the stars and reached out to the stars spreading in the night sky. ''

After confirming that Amria and Asteria listen silently, Howlsen continues to disclose information.

"In the process, we encountered many aliens, and many wars between the stars broke out. The battle ended with many sacrifices and a decline in the creature's tribal scale, but now an enemy race called the Alien The heritage is still near this star.

Many are intercepted by the Three Dragon Emperors, the Moon's Dragon King, and the Rabbits, turning them into space debris, but our target is different. ''

The story suddenly spread to space scale from the war on the ground, but there seems to be no embarrassment to Amria and Asteria, and they seem to be accepting them easily. It seems to them that they are in an understandable category.

"Our greatest role has been to monitor the inheritance of one alien, who still escapes the lunar surveillance network and lurks in this system, and destroy it if it appears."
