Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

A month had passed since the Separate Task Force seized Fort Casper.

Under Otto's head command, discussions of prisoner exchange were underwater as a solid defensive line was built around Fort Casper.

As a result, Ashton anticipated, the imperial side accepted the offer to exchange prisoners. But as soon as I found out the signing ceremony place was the Keel Fortress, some officers rebelled.

He pushed into the command room and protested abruptly.

"My lord, why should we go to enemy land! If we're the ones who won this one, we're the ones who made the prisoner exchange offer. Isn't it natural to have a signing ceremony at Fort Casper? Huh!

Paul was half-faced and asking about the officers. I just want to say that they sound the best, but I mean, they hurt my self-esteem.

Only at these times has Otto gone on a situation inspection of the villages he recaptured. I can't even complain about Paul ordering anything else.

"I don't remember telling your lords to go to Fortress Keel, do I?

When Paul says that in a sigh, the officer makes his voice even more absurd.

"Do not take fried feet! There are even a hundred people to accompany in the first place and so much more to be joking about!

This time during the signing ceremony at the Keel Fortress, the Imperial side has stuck with the condition of up to a hundred accompanying members. It's not funny to them either.

"Really? If I were in the empire's shoes, I'd demand the same, wouldn't I? If you take an extra number of people, that's all it takes to get suspicious."

If you think about the journey, Paul thinks the figure of 100 is reasonable. It is not the number of people who hesitate for a burglar to strike, nor the number of people who are rampaged in enemy territory.

While taking into account the Kingdom side, it does not cause disadvantage to the Imperial side. I could tell it was really well calculated.

Letting them hear more about the area, the officers argue with a uniformly upset look.

"Well, I'm still not convinced to have a signing ceremony at the Keel Fortress! Insults are also a good place to call on fortresses that you've taken from us in the meantime!

"So what the hell are you guys going to do? I suppose you've come to express your opinion that there's just a way to convince the Empire, including me? You're not saying it's the opposite because you don't like it, are you?

As Paul turned his sharp gaze, the officers wandered at once. I dared ask, knowing, of course, that there was no alternative.

Because I'm tired of hanging out with stupid stories any more.

"Well, that's...... but what if something happens to your Excellency!

"Let's just say there's no problem at all with that"

To Paul, I assure you, the officer frowns. The other officers showed a uniformly bewildered attitude.

"Why can you say all that? The aliases of the gods should not be unknown in the empire. This is a great opportunity, and not necessarily without anyone planning an assassination."

Officers are right, it would be a great time if you could plan an assassination. Nor is he unawary of assassinations that are difficult to prevent even as a paul.

But only this time, I could say that I was worried in many ways.

"I don't even think an empire in an overwhelming position would do such a cowardly imitation."

"So, but heh!

"Besides, Ensign Olivia is my escort this time. Do you still have something to say?

As soon as Olivia's name is given, their faces are drawn together. Now, after the battle between the Plains of England and Fort Casper, most of those belonging to the Seventh Army were in awe of Olivia.

"Yes, no. If Ensign Olivia is to serve as an escort, it would seem fine! Thank you very much for your time!

When the officers salute each other, they follow the Command Office to escape. When Paul sighed as he saw how it was, he reached into his chest pocket.

─ ─ Then a week later.

The Pauls, who emitted Fort Casper, took a path north toward Fort Keel. To prepare for the unforeseen, Paul is the center of the queue.

And Olivia and Claudia will be escorted as they pinch between them.

Surrounding the Quartet are soldiers from a separate squad infiltrated Fort Casper with Olivia. On the road Olivia spoke to Paul more than once, each time upsetting Claudia.

I also thought I should praise you just now, but I hesitated when I saw Paul with a flamboyant look on his face. Don't tell me you pretended not to look in the end.

(Don't use this pretty nerves. Still, it might be easier to slash each other with the enemy)

Claudia thinks so as she sees how fun they both look. Apart from such Claudia's thoughts, the journey itself goes well.

He arrived safely at the Keel fortress without being attacked by a burglar en route. It was the fourth day since I left Fort Casper.

Fortress Keel is surrounded by huge triple walls and even a natural element built on complex terrain. There are a number of cross sword crest flags on the walls, and no, they stick a sense of defeat on top as well. A line of Pauls staring at the once elusive fortress of Keel with a complex expression.

In the meantime, the figure of one shaggy girl. ─ ─ Of course it is Olivia.

"Lieutenant General Paul. Fortress Keel is bigger and better than Fortress Gallia!

"O, Ensign Olivia!

Just as Claudia opens her mouth without being able to see it, Paul waves gently and gets on with Olivia's story.

"Ensign Olivia, do you know that this fortress once belonged to the Royal Army?

"Yeah, I know. The Imperial Army stole it, didn't it?

Paul nods slightly bitterly at Olivia, who speaks in a truly casual tone.

"Exactly. My army is just impudent."

"Lieutenant General Paul, you'll be fine. If it's stolen, you just have to take it back. You took Fort Casper back, didn't you?

"Hehe. When Ensign Olivia says, it's strange because I don't feel like taking it back easily."

As they laugh at each other, the huge arched gate slowly opens. What emerged from inside was a Rin standing woman dressed in a black military uniform.

And several soldiers wearing blue full body armor (full plate). They were consolidating their surroundings so as to protect women.

Probably been caught up in the surveillance network for a long time. Claudia guards her surroundings without alarm.

Paul confronted the woman in military uniform when he ordered them all to get off the horse.

"Lieutenant General of the Royal Army, you are His Excellency Paul."

"I don't know."

"The samurai name of the gods is also bombarded by the Imperial Army. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ensign Therese and I serve as a guide. Heal your journey fatigue first"

"Be polite, it hurts. Now let me sweeten your words."

When we saluted each other, Theresa started walking to encourage us. A row of paul walking silently after that.

Theresa looked at Olivia from time to time wondering if she was concerned.

Eventually as I dive through the triple gate, I see the nostalgic front gate. So Theresa stops her legs, turns around and opens her mouth in a sorry way.

"I'm sorry, but for security's sake, there are no more than two people to accompany us from here. If you are with us, we already have a room for you, so relax there"

"Wait a minute! Suddenly..."

To a very unsolicited word, Claudia raised her voice of protest. But Paul slaps me on the shoulder and weighs me down.

"I don't mind, Brigadier Claudia. Ensign Therese, I understand. These two accompany us. Ensign Olivia and Brigadier Claudia will serve."

Asking Paul what he said, Theresa stares at Olivia in surprise. In contrast, Olivia looked around with pleasure, especially without the wind she cared about.

"Ensign Therese. What's wrong with you?

"Oh, and excuse me. Come in, then."

Theresa orders the soldier to open the door in panic. When the door opened with a heavy noise, the three proceeded to walk guided.

─ ─ The day after dawn.

A signing ceremony for the prisoner exchange took place in the Great Hall.

Felix and Paul shake hands as they sign each other's signature forms as Empire officers line up in large numbers. Felix opens his mouth as the officers whisper "Is that the god?"

"It is an honor to meet His Excellency Paul. I don't know what to say, but when I see the gods and the feared Lord Paul, my spine is cold."

"It is also an honor to meet His Excellency Felix, who leads the prestigious Knights of the Ethereal. Honestly, I didn't think you were this young."

"That's a lot to say."

Paul and Felix laugh at each other. After this, the signing ceremony proceeded without delay and ended with a nasty atmosphere.

"─ Did they leave?

Felix asks Therese looking out the window.

"Yes. Welcome home a while ago. I'd like to say hello to your Excellency. - Sir, would you excel somewhere? You look a little pale."

As I say, Therese looks worried and peeks into Felix. Felix looks at Therese like that and shakes her neck to the side, thinking she's made her feel extra distracted.

"I'm fine with my health. Did Ensign Therese talk to the two men with whom His Excellency Paul was accompanying him?

"No, especially...... just one of the two of you was a lot younger. So he said the same Ensign as me, so I was pretty surprised."

"Really..."

"Your Excellency?"

When that signing ceremony. The silver-haired girl who has turned her eyes to observe this one jiggly behind the paul. It emitted such an overwhelming presence that Paul, called the god of God, seemed so sumptuous. enough to keep Felix's spine cold.

(Unusual scent of blood and signs of drifting death. It's like "death itself embodies. That girl could be very troublesome to the Imperial Army)

Olivia and Felix. It is a long way off that the two of you can see each other again.
