- It's the Kingdom of Harzion.

Hear the name of the country, and open your eyes.

Suddenly the thought stops for a moment.

The Kingdom of Harzion is the country where the Irene is...!

Irene Harzion.

In my last life I met her and became a lover.

I'm your family, your childhood friend, and your best friend. She's the woman I've met since I lost everything, and she was losing everything just like me.

We acted together to comfort each other so that we could talk about each other's situation, understand each other, and then lick each other's wounds.

I became a lover, and I swore I wouldn't lose it anymore, and I couldn't protect her.

So I killed myself next to her and interrupted my life in a previous life.

There's never been a day in this world where I forgot her.

I was thinking about her every time the night came.

I want to see her, I want to hear her voice, I want to touch her, I want to hug her...

With that in mind, I crossed thousands of nights.

"- Eric, you? Are you listening?

"What?"

When I was called out and hacked, there was Mr. Yelle and Mr. Liberto looking at me like I was a little confused.

"Shh, I'm sorry, I was confused"

"Don't you feel good?

"No, I'm fine. Excuse me."

I remembered Irene when I heard the name of the country, and it was empty up there.

"But is it the Kingdom of Harzion? You're going now?

Mr Liberto says it in a way that includes a little.

Somehow I know what you're trying to say.

Currently the Kingdom of Harzion has heard rumors of wind, but it is a little rough or unstable.

Felix Glazio, who was the next king for sure, told someone... well, it's me, but he's been killed, so there's a lot of trouble going on.

The belligerent Felix's death has stopped the war, so the belligerents as well are grieving.

Until now, we knew we were not going to fight a war, but because of Felix, we were on the verge of fighting a war.

If that doesn't suddenly happen along the way, the belligerents are set to get dissatisfied.

They have all sorts of other influences due to Felix's death.

"Yes, now is why we're going to the Kingdom of Harzion. Learn what King Celedonia Halzion is doing and how to deal with it in the current situation."

"Well, this is going to be a bit of a rough assignment,"

Mr. Liberto sighs without even trying to hide it.

I usually want to catch one of my sighs, too, but now my expectations are superior in my mind.

Maybe - you'll see Irene.

What makes me think so is that I have no choice.

The Kingdom of Harzion is a big country. I don't even know if I'm going to the city where Irene is.

But maybe, I think.

"Please come back to the office tomorrow night. So I'm going to go into a little more detail and have you leave tomorrow morning, the day after. Are you sure?

"Yes, I understand"

"Roger, can we go then?

"Yes, good luck. Rest easy."

Mr. Liberto leaves the room on his own.

I greet him, meet him when he leaves the room, and then I leave the room.

"Well, say hello the day after tomorrow, Eric. It's gonna be a little rough this time, but you're gonna be okay."

"Please, Mr. Liberto"

"Yes, then I'll have a drink."

"Keep it that way."

Without responding to my words, he leaves with his back turned and his hands flickering.

You're definitely not listening to me.

I'll leave the office and head to the dining room.

Find Tina and Elena in the dining room.

It's always been normal for me and Tina, Elena, and Yulina to eat meals in the morning and at night.

Sometimes, Ms Viviana joins in there, who has left aside the work of the Deputy Commander.

Looking over the dining room, I find the four of them. Looks like Mr. Viviana is here today.

I'll go to my seat there after I get my meal.

"Ah, Eric! Good luck!"

"Oops, tired"

"Eric, good day"

"Good job, you were guarding the guild today, weren't you?"

"Right, you're still a scumbag over there"

Yulina and I once did some guarding in the guild, but she's so pretty that she gets tangled up by weird guys a lot.

Well, Mr. Yulina is strong, so fine, but it seems disgusting to be able to see from afar with a lowered eye. That's the hard part of being uncontrollable because there's no real harm.

"Captain Yelle understands, so he gives me fewer guards for the guild, but the guards still come around a little bit."

"I'm really tired"

Yulina seems more mentally tired than physically.

"Good day, Mr. Viviana."

I also greet Viviana, who is eating deliciously with a lot of stuff in her mouth.

"Uh-oh."

I don't know what you're talking about.

She's supposed to look nasty when she talks with things in her mouth, but she's kind of cute like a little animal when she does it.

Swallow the food and laugh nicely.

"Good luck. Oh, yeah, Eric, nice to meet you the day after tomorrow."

"Hey......!?

"The day after tomorrow? Is there anything?

That's what Elena said as she tilted her head.

This guy's serious! You shouldn't even tell anyone around you because it's a top-secret mission!

"Oh, wrong"

You just noticed, this guy!

"Mr. Viviana, what do you have the day after tomorrow?

"Uh, hey."

I was told that this top-secret mission should not be taught to anyone close to me either.

That's what Ms Viviana would have said, so she's lost her response since her mouth slipped.

Do something to delude me.

You're the one who lost your word, so do your best to clean it up yourself.

"Ah!"

Whoa, did you come up with that?

"I'm going on a week's trip with you the day after tomorrow, Eric!

To the words, the place quiets down.

I see Julina with a slightly frightened face in front of me and Elena with a bitter laugh.

The two of you probably think that's some kind of wrong way of saying it, a joke.

But here's the thing... mainly people sit next to me who truly get jokes about me, etc.

I get the illusion that there's something from next door, a black aura that resembles intent to kill.

"Mr. Viviana, what do you mean? Eric will explain it to you, won't he?

- Then I explained the mess.
