Episode 174: Situation Description

"Stay like this for a while, because your sister is reunited without water"

Rio suggested to Vanessa, closing the office door completely.

"Oh, yeah"

And Vanessa nods with her mouth down. Celia, on the other hand, had a soft grin. The other female knights are nodding yeah. Although -,

"But what the hell is this all about, Sir Amakawa?

Vanessa asked Rio how things were going with a puzzled face. Flora, who was missing, suddenly appeared, so it would be natural to ask for an explanation of the circumstances.

"It gets longer when I talk to you, but I met Master Flora, who was accidentally shipwrecked on a trip. Perhaps you will also report the details to Lady Christina, at that time for more information. I haven't given Celia any details yet either."

To avoid the hassle twice, Rio omitted a lot of content and just gave an overview.

"Mmm, right. By the way, Sir Amakawa..."

When Vanessa is good at it, she lures Rio to a little distance.

"Yes."

Rio nods and follows Vanessa.

"Are you glad I used a demon prop in front of my men to change the color of my hair?

And, Vanessa confirmed by diving in her voice. Previously, when they borrowed a magic item from Rio to change the color of their hair, Christina and the others had an agreement with Rio that they should not talk to third parties about their existence. provided, however, that this shall not apply if Rio so permits.

I guess it hits the exception because I removed the magic prop earlier on Rio's instructions, but Vanessa decided to make sure.

"Yeah, I don't mind. It must be SS people, right?

"Mm-hmm. They're dumb, but they don't have a back table. I assure you my mouth is strong. If you're tough, you won't say anything."

Vanessa agrees. For the record, these are the fierce men who followed Christina and Vanessa to the King's Capital arbitrarily and rushed all the way to Rodania.

"Then please do so once and for all. As I told you at the time of the contract, if you don't actively diffuse it, it's okay for you to share the information as much as you need. However, we can't teach you how to manufacture as promised, so it should be."

and Rio reiterated the need.

"I understand. Thank you."

Vanessa bows her head deeply to Rio.

"No."

Rio smiled and waved.

"So hurry up and tell your men..., um, what's up, you guys?

and Vanessa looks back to give instructions to her men. But when he noticed that he was being looked at seriously by his men's female knights, he leaned his neck in surprise.

"Va, va......"

And the female knights moved their mouths in a flabby manner.

"Va?"

Vanessa puts a question mark over her head. Then...

"Spring is here for Captain Vanessa!!

The female knights shouted in solidarity.

"Become...!

Vanessa is taken aback and loses her words.

"Well, some female knights will be single for life, too? As a nobleman, Captain Vanessa is past his marriageable age, so I was wondering if he meant to."

"Hey, I don't even care about men, and I thought you were giving up marriage"

"I didn't know you were so close to your young and Rin lords, you saw it!

"I congratulate you on this! I'd love to be second only to Master Flora's return! We're going to have a celebratory seat tonight, and we're going to celebrate."

and so on, and the female knights exuberantly exulted on their own. Vanessa's face is dyed red rapidly.

"Ha"

Rio approached Celia at a subtle distance from Vanessa to avoid digging a grave poorly. Celia chuckles and welcomes Rio next door.

"Oh, yeah! Funny! Maiden, you guys!? Me and Sir Amakawa are over ten years old, years apart!

Vanessa had a drink and tried to silence the female knights. But his face is bright red, so he's not dignified at all.

"In the first place, being a knight, I am forsaking being a woman! Out of love (depression) at this age, etc! Oh, there's no way! You would be rude to Sir Amakawa too! See?"

Vanessa complains with a red face and asks Rio to give her consent. I'm totally bad at talking to Rio here.

"Nothing. I don't feel rude."

Rio decided to stick his grin on it with awkwardness and keep it answered without difficulty. I can't believe I agree.

"Huh..."

Vanessa was struck by surprise and tided her cheeks. The female knights grinned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not really making fun of my boss."

Celia took a breath of freakiness and said, "Follow Vanessa." I don't suppose they're serious either, because Vanessa seemed less immune to these things than she expected (though, if her position had been changed, Celia would have had a similar reaction). Besides, if we stay like this, we could jump on Rio.

"Excuse me. Sir Amakawa is sorry too!

The female knights corrected their posture, put their hands on their chests and apologized with humility. Then the office door opens in a gutter. Of course it was Christina who showed up.

"Sir Amakawa, and Dr. Celia, may I ask you to come inside? Thank you. I didn't get the guidelines for Flora's story..."

And, Christina calls on Rio and Celia.

"Understood."

Rio and Celia smiled and nodded.

"Thank you.... Vanessa, you come in too. And someone, tell Roana that Flora is back. Because she'll be worried, too. You can tell the brave man if he wants to be with you, but don't tell the others yet."

Christina also gives instructions to Vanessa and the female knights.

"I'm in awe!

Vanessa and the others nodded instantly.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then, Rio and Celia entered the office immediately. Vanessa also gives the necessary instructions to the female knights, then follows them.

"Come on in, please."

and Christina recommends seats to Rio and Celia.

"Excuse me, sir."

Rio and Celia lowered their hips in line in a reception chair installed indoors. Flora sits in the seat across the street, and Christina sits next to her. Vanessa seems to refrain from standing beside her.

"So, Sir Amakawa. Quickly, may I ask you how it went? How could Flora be with you..."

Christina quickly asked Rio about the revelations.

"It's a coincidence that I met Master Flora in the first place. So the fact that Flora was experiencing by then will be told by the person…"

"Would you mind telling us? As you can see, Flora."

And Christina says by looking at Flora. Flora seems to stop crying for once, but she is shaking her body small as she leads to Christina. My eyes are swollen with tears, and I wouldn't be able to talk neatly yet.

"I understand. So first of all, you know that Master Flora was on a magic ship headed for Rodania, right?

Rio decided to explain in turn.

"Yeah, I called..."

"There are men on the road who attacked the magic ship. Lord Flora was flown to the Kingdom of Palladia at the hands of the men."

"… please wait. A demon ship was reported to have crashed after being attacked by a dragon-like life-form. So there was also a parallel artificial raid?

Christina is surprised by the unexpected story and points out the difference in fact.

"Dragon-like life form, I haven't heard such a story..."

Rio tilted his neck and watched Flora.

"... I don't know either"

Flora says nasty.

"Then the dragon-like life form appeared after Flora was flown to the kingdom of Palladia."

From the information that came out, Rio guessed the chronological order.

"Flora was flown...?

Christina is uncomfortable with what Rio said. Then...

"Um, sister, the crew...?

Flora asked in horror before Christina spoke of her doubts.

"... left one ship behind, devastated."

Christina answers the bat looks bad. It's a fact I can't hide from lying down here. I just have to teach.

"Oh, shit..."

Flora was shocked or trembled. I didn't know you only helped one ship when you said you had the safety of the crew guaranteed on the condition that you wouldn't resist... That there was no point in that negotiation?

No, I had a thin anticipation. That the man may not keep his word to himself. But I didn't want to think so.

Flora is driven by feelings of indignation. But even the story of being attacked by a dragon-like life form caught on. Let it be a dragon, let it be a dragon, because, with the exception of the lower dragon, man is not capable of serving.

So is it a coincidence that a dragon-like life-form attacked a demon ship? Didn't those men lie? Flora gets her head around it, and I don't know much about it. Then...

"By the way, what about Flora being flown to the Kingdom of Palladia?

Christina asked as her teeth seemed to twitch. I can see why Flora is relieved, but now it's better to check the facts than to comfort her.

"From what I've heard, it looks like a magic tool with metastatic magic has been used."

Rio reports the facts of the rumor. Then...

"... a magic prop with metastatic magic, is it?

Christina glanced at me for a moment. Space magic is ancient magic that cannot be reproduced in modern magic. In addition, metastatic magic is regarded as one of the most advanced forms of spatial magic.

I've never even seen Christina such ancient magic props with such ancient magic in them. There will be no need to be surprised.

"Yes, they said the scenery switched in an instant, and as a matter of fact, Master Flora was in the Kingdom of Palladia, so I was wondering if there was any mistake. In detail, it appears that the metastatic crystal was used by a mercenary named Lucius and a diplomat named Reis, who belongs to the Proxian Empire."

Rio speaks of even more startling facts.

"............... Reis. That was definitely the name of the man connected to Charles...... I don't think you can use a large subdragon on people, but you don't think it has anything to do with those two raids. If there is a Proxian Empire diplomat involved in the presence of the Knights of Aaron, even more so."

and Christina spoke with a rugged face as she later made an inner decision to call the prisoner Charles to listen.

"... Yep"

Rio nods slightly between them. For a moment, I patrolled because I was worried that I should convey to Isiah the words of Reyce, who had confessed to Isiah that he was "a non-existent being similar to the Spirit".

Nevertheless, if I tell you about it, I inevitably need to reveal the existence of the Spirit. So I decided to drop him off on this occasion.

"But one surprise after another, I'm going to be confused by the boulders"

Christina held her head and smiled bitterly. They are all hard stories to believe by Russia, but the rapporteur is Hurt, and if it is a fact that Flora has experienced, there can be no question.

"They said the men showed up to kill Master Flora in the first place. Nonetheless, the men flew Master Flora to the Kingdom of Palladia. … I don't know why, but if it's my speculation, I can tell you"

and Rio reports the facts and ratings separately.

"Let me know"

Christina urged Rio to explain.

"I thought it was probably the whim of a man named Lucius. Because I'm a joke man pursuing the pleasure of the moment. In fact, according to Flora, there seemed to be a lot of boredom when using metastatic crystals."

Rio speaks with a cold face somewhere. It's a story of no body or lid, but that's all.

"... you know, Lucius is the guy whose name came up before when we were heading to Rodania, right? of the leader of a mercenary regiment called" The Lions of Heaven "..."

"Yes."

When Christina confirmed, Rio snorted.

"Sure, you said Vanessa knew about the guy, too. I was upset to hear that, but what kind of man is he?

Christina remembers that time and asks Vanessa.

"All I know is that the man was once a candidate for 'The King's Sword' in our country. She had an interaction with her brother in that relationship, but the house collapsed, and I don't know the details."

Vanessa shook her wearing as if she was sorry.

"Was it" The King's Sword Candidate "? Does Sir Amakawa know anything about the man?

Christina looks into her eyes and also turns to Rio for water.

"Yeah, because I've been following that guy the whole time. That's why we were able to save Master Flora in the Kingdom of Palladia"

And Rio spoke in deep breath.

"... I see. Oddly enough, the man became a bridger, and Flora was able to encounter Sir Amakawa. I got an approximate history. Thank you."

Christina is thankful once here for being good at a big stream of streets. It is still necessary to ask what Flora, who flew to the Kingdom of Palladia, saw, why Hult was following the man, and what happened to the subsequent backdrop, but the information that would have been a prerequisite could have been sorted out before asking for details.

"No, there were a lot of complications involved, and I hope you were able to explain them well. We still have a lot of facts to report."

Rio smiles bitterly and waves.

"Sounds like it."

Christina made a sneer peek in tune.

"May I begin by describing in chronological order how Master Flora, who was flown to the Kingdom of Palladia, was caught and how I helped Master Flora?

and Rio prefaces the order in which he speaks.

"... Yes. Please do so."

Christina snorted.

"Understood."

Rio also nods deeply and starts talking chronologically. That Flora wandered through the forests of the Kingdom of Palladia, that she went wild and was bitten by a poisonous spider, and that she then managed to reach a nearby village but was about to die of high fever. Sometimes Flora herself joins the explanation and gives the report.

That's how, as we move forward with the report...

"Dear Flora..."

Celia has a sinking face because Flora was in such miserable eyes.

"How delightful..."

Vanessa was holding her fist with a face she couldn't resist.

"I was fortunate that Sir Amakawa protected Flora. If I were a little behind, I'd be freaked out.... But under what circumstances did Sir Amakawa discover Flora?

Christina says so and squeezes Flora's hand, which sits next to her. And asked what happened when Rio discovered Flora.

"Apparently you left the village where you were staying, and you said you discovered where you were losing consciousness, or that there was Lucius on the spot..."

And Rio answers with a slightly poorly toothed thing. In the first place, Rio wasn't even aware of Flora's presence until the end of the battle with Lucius - a little hard to say.

"Why did you leave the village, Flora?

Christina asked Flora face-to-face. It is tantamount to suicide, such as walking outside with a high fever.

"... Oh, uh, it seems that the village chief who let us stay was trying to rely on the lord, and I heard that the Kingdom of Palladia is a small country near the Proxian Empire, and I thought that if we were captured, your sister would be bothered..."

Flora spoke badly of the bat.

"... in that case, give priority to your own safety. It's annoying, you don't have to think about it."

Christina grabs her shoulder and tells Flora. It's not an act I don't understand as a royalty, but it's an act I can't see as a sister. My desire to prioritize myself was stronger.

"Oh, sorry"

Flora apologizes in haste.

"You don't have to apologize. I'm not mad at you. Just worried."

That's what Christina said, hugging Flora.

"Yes......"

Flora snorts in tears.

".................. I'm sorry I missed the conversation. May I ask you to continue?

Christina slightly and stops hugging Flora encourages Rio to continue the conversation.

"... Probably, but Master Flora seems to have quickly reached her limit. He was unconscious not so far from the village. And there appeared Lucius, who took His Highness Duran, the first prince of the Kingdom of Palladia. I think I got there right after that."

And, Rio tells a pale continuation.

"The first prince of the kingdom of Palladia, take Flora?

Christina asked with a sharp face. Duran is the royal family of a distant small country, but I've heard as many rumors. As a warrior, he boasts first-rate strength, but says femininity is also a bad prince.

"Hi, Lucius and I don't know each other. They weren't friends, and they seemed to be informed of Flora's existence. So, I was trying to make sure Flora was in shape."

"... I see. But why is a man named Lucius doing so much roundabout? Take Flora straight to the Kingdom of Palladia without metastatic crystals."

Christina was satisfied with why Duran targeted Flora, but she didn't seem to understand Lucius' behavior.

"... as I said earlier. Everything is at the whim of that man. That's who I am, a man named Lucius. If I enjoy myself, I also do things that plainly make no sense. For that guy, it must have been like a pastime.

"... It's hard, but I feel the image has finally solidified as to who the man is"

He's a man who imitates a lot of jokes. Christina burned a quiet rage against Lucius in her chest.

"Yeah, I don't really like these expressions, but think of them as outward paths that don't have morals or anything like that"

And Rio says with a bitter smile. Now that we have avenged ourselves, we can capture Lucius' presence with a slightly cooler gaze, but that assessment will not change.

"... may I ask you about Sir Amakawa's relationship with a man named Lucius? Whatever, if you don't want to tell me, don't push it."

Christina asked in horror. Because the warm Rio is so much to criticize, I can see that it's not a big deal. I worried if I should or should not ask, but I reluctantly decided to ask.

Then, for a moment, Rio takes a glimpse of Celia. Celia was staring at Rio. At last, Rio breathes small...

"... it was my parents' revenge."

In his stomach, he told the facts.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I asked you to step in"

Christina apologizes in a hurry.

"No, I'm the one who answered. I'm rather sorry for your concern"

Rio apologized back with a calm voice.

"Huh..."

Celia grabbed her fist all the time and stared at Rio's face sitting next to her. Then the doozy and footsteps echo from the outside. Immediately afterwards, momentum opened the office door.

Celia and Flora tremble and look at the office door. There's...

"Hey, Christina! Flora said she's back!?

I took Roana, Hiroaki stood.
