"... did you hear more or less"

I heard all the questions I had initially planned to ask, and I could hear most of the questions that came to mind as I was listening.

I let the assassin man answer my last question, and then I let him pass out for now.

It wouldn't make much sense to take this guy hostage.

Apparently he was hired by the nobles of the Lindo Empire, but you just have to say "I don't know" and abandon him where he took the assassin hostage.

I won't kill you because I got the information, but what should I do?

"Eric, why don't you throw it in the basement garbage dump? I think he's gonna strip all his clothes off, but I don't think he's gonna die."

"... is that the best"

An assassin who was interrogated and passed out at the end, and when he woke up he was probably supposed to be naked and in a garbage dump.

A little pathetic, but it would be cheap if this was all you had to do for my best friend's life.

"... there was no information on Elena."

"Right..."

I asked this guy about his peers, but he didn't have any information on the assassin like Mr. Elena.

Nina's story is that Elena is probably still a slave.

"I've heard a lot about it, so I have to report it for now. Nina, please go to Tina and the others."

"Mm, okay, I'll take this guy to the garbage dump too"

"Oh, thank you"

Nina grabs the root of an assassin who is passing out and drags him away.

I'm gonna be alone, make sure there's no one else, get the demon props out of my nostalgia and activate them.

I waited awhile and there was a reaction as if I had activated the demon props too.

"Yes, this is Anne"

Magic Knights captain Anne and magic props connect, and for women, a low and beautiful voice echoes.

"I'm Eric Aulin. Captain Anne, are you all right there now?

'Yeah, it's okay. Did you crush the guy you were after earlier?

"Yes, it is. I heard the information from him, so I tried to share it with him."

'Yes, thank you. I was a little late to notice, so I was able to defend myself, but I couldn't catch him. "

Hundreds of meters would be too much if you felt the killing of those who were away and noticed beforehand.

Then I told Captain Anne what I got.

Especially about the kind of assassins, nobles, who will come after His Majesty Leo and Cristo in the future.

I interrogated and asked, there is still a good chance that the assassins hired by the nobles of the Lindo Empire will come.

Soon after the previous raid, the kings and princes of the country are coming to this place, there's no reason not to aim.

A nobleman trying to be liked by the emperor of the Lindo Empire seems to be after the lives of two people.

"Thanks for sharing this information. Looks like there are quite a few nobles after all."

"Yes, today was the first day and there was only one, but I thought there would be an extraordinary increase starting tomorrow"

'I know. It's your job to escort your majesty and your prince before they do. "

"I understand."

Captain Anne and the other knights must provide escorts, so be thorough in protecting them.

We're free compared to that, so if we find an assassin, we capture him, and if we can, we capture him before the attack, like this one.

'Three of you... No, you had Nina Glazio. I know the four of you have a lot of work to do, but don't push yourself.'

"Yes, thank you"

I haven't talked to Captain Anne much, but he seems like a tough, gentle guy.

Somehow, but I feel like Captain Yelle.

I don't really have emotions on the table, but I have the qualities to stand above people.

But I sometimes see you angry at the deputy commanders, Mr Liberto and Mr Viviana, so I guess your emotions are more on the table than Captain Yelle's.

"... Speaking of which, do I know you, Princess of the Kingdom of Harzion, Lord Irene?

"What...!? Yes, all of a sudden, why?

I thought you were going to hang up on me because I'm done sharing information, but they asked me about Irene and I'm in a hurry.

'Cause the conversation between Prince Christopher and Princess Irene in the carriage seemed to come up with a lot of your names.'

"What, ho, is that true!?

"Yeah, I think Princess Irene was asking Prince Christopher about you."

Are you serious......!?

What, but what was the intent of that and I was asking...?

Previously, when I first met Irene in this world, I promised to "come see me again".

also, could it be, "I haven't had you come to see me, what does that mean?" Were you asking Kristo......!?

No, wait, I really want to go see him now, too.

Even when escorting Cristo today, I had a hard time seeing Irene from a distance.

I wanted to jump right out and talk to Irene.

But I still have a mission, so I can't do that.

"K, what were Cristo and Irene talking about?

I thought I'd keep the upset off the table, but my voice was trembling on its own.

"... Princess Irene seemed to care about you, and Prince Christopher answered the question."

"No, the... the content of that question..."

"I'm sorry, I don't remember much."

Absolutely lying.

The discouragement of the voice is deliberate, and there is an atmosphere that I remember.

"Next time you see me, ask me directly"

"... ok"

If I could do that, I wouldn't struggle.

"I'm not too impressed with you calling away the princess of your neighboring country."

"Oh... sorry..."

I wasn't aware because I was upset.

I always call you out about Cristo, and I know that, Captain Anne.

But I shouldn't have abandoned Irene.

"I'll be in touch tomorrow."

"Yes, see you later. Good luck."

That's what I said, cut the comms, and I sighed.

Perhaps Captain Anne has noticed that I have something with Irene.

Actually, I'm just thinking unilaterally.

... It makes me sad to say it myself.
