"Well... thanks for letting me know"

"Yeah, I'm the one to thank. Tell me about Elena."

Me and Nina finished exchanging information about Elena and thanked each other.

You're lucky to see Nina here.

When I go to the Kingdom of Harzion, I can schedule an appointment to see what it feels like to hear from Mr. Elena.

"Where did Nina look in the Kingdom of Harzion?

"I can't find the aristocracy, so I've been searching for information behind it."

"Behind?"

"I heard Elena was an assassin, so I tried to find out that information."

"I see."

I think it's a good hand.

If we explore that line, we may soon arrive at Elena's information.

But no matter how much you look for it, there's a chance it won't come out.

If you're the one doing the assassin personally, you can definitely find him because he can't come to work without that in the information behind him.

But Mr. Elena is a slave to the nobility, and if he is forced to assassinate, the name of the nobleman's assassin may not come up.

Even though it's hard to find information about the assassin, all the more so if it was a nobleman.

"Eric and the others are looking for Elena, right?

"Oh, at the end of the mission."

I didn't tell Nina exactly what the top secret mission was about.

"Let me look with you."

"No, we have to do our job..."

"Because I can do that assignment with you. It's going to be quicker to find it with Eric and the others."

"Hmmm......"

It would certainly be more efficient to look with us than to look alone.

For us, too, it helps that Nina, who knows the back of the Harzion kingdom, will look with us.

But I can't judge a top-secret mission by myself...

"Okay, I'll check. I'll get back to you later."

"Yeah, please"

It's time for the two of us to go outside to see what happened to Mr. Yulina.

"... why are you fighting those two?

"Come on?"

For some reason, Mr. Yulina and Tina were fighting.

Ms. Yulina took her sword when she left the house, so I thought it would diverge even by barebacking outside, but I didn't know Tina was doing it with her.

Besides, I'm pretty serious about fighting.

Mr. Yulina hasn't let it out of her sheath, and Tina hasn't used enough magic to inflict fatal injuries, but otherwise it's a serious battle.

Tina is the dominant one.

Is Mr. Yulina upset by what she just said, or is she moving dull?

Yeah, maybe some hangovers.

"You're both strong."

"Oh, well, yeah."

The third among the Knights...... no, Mr. Yulina would be the fourth strongest if you let in the captain.

And in the Magic Knights, next to the Commander and Deputy Commander, probably strong, Tina.

If you look around the world, only a few of them will win.

"But Eric's stronger, isn't he?

"... I don't know"

You won't beat Mr. Yulina, but Tina really doesn't know.

If it does become a melee, I am confident that I can defeat it with a single knife.

But we can't pack the time in one step, and if we allow the magic to activate... we don't know the result.

"Yeah, I think Eric's the strongest"

"Why?

"Because I defeated Brother Felix"

I assure you so, Nina.

"If it was one-on-one, we'd probably lose. I won because I had Tina's magic cover."

"It is. Then Eric and Tina will be the strongest."

"... well, I don't deny it"

I was talking about that, and the battle between the two of us came to an end.

Ms. Yulina approaches and waves her sword at once, and Tina, who avoids it, falls ill.

Swing your sword wide over there......?

"-!"

I'm totally unwilling to stop seeing Mr. Yulina attack, and I pop out.

Stand behind Tina and take the attack with my sword.

Whoa, whoa!

It was tight to receive the sword that Mr. Yulina wielded with all her might, but she managed to prevent it critically.

"Ha, ha... I, now..."

"Are you calm, Mr. Yulina?"

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Eric. If it's not stopped, I..."

"I'm glad you've calmed down."

I grab Tina's hand, which is falling, and help her get up.

"Tina, I'm sorry. I almost got you hurt."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

No, yeah, Tina looks fine.

If Mr. Yulina had attacked like that, Tina would have attacked for real.

"... that was bad."

Nina approaching, I could hear her squeaking like that.

I don't think Mr. Yulina can help but notice because she can't feel the magic, but maybe Nina does, too.

Tina's magic, which had fallen, swelled with great momentum.

It was probably Mr. Yulina who was more likely to get hurt.

"Thanks Eric for stopping me too!

"Oh...... yeah"

I give back to Tina with a very good smile and a bitter laugh.

I'm glad they stopped me too...
