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

─ ─ Western Farnest Kingdom

A single carriage is proceeding through the pitch-black forest. Side by side surrounding the carriage are the faces of the Knight of Saint Kingsguard with a silver wing crest engraved on shallow purple armor. They are nervous about the stirring sound of leaves and the howling of the beast, yet they exercise utmost vigilance to keep nothing close to the carriage.

A heavy and elegant white-painted carriage built by leading contemporary artisans on two white horses in stunning outfits. Riding in this magnificent carriage, which would not be two in the world, is Saint Angel Sofitea Hell Mecchia, ruler of the Reich Mecchia, also dressed in a magnificent costume. And Amelia or Johan. And even three magicians, such as Lara, are getting in just in case.

It is Historia Grace, the head of the Twelve Guards, who runs the carriage far ahead. There are only twenty hand-worked people who follow her.

Lara had ordered her to handle it without hesitation if anyone appeared to obstruct her path, laying a full security posture.

Its guard, Sofitea, said that after blooming in the carriage for a while in an absurd story, he spoke to Johann, who had a rugged look all the time since leaving the Wang capital Fiss.

"Something you don't like about Mr. Johann?

"─ I apologize for my disrespect, but do I need to return late at night until I take the risk? And in the woods, where danger hits."

"Johan. Do you dispute the decision of the Holy Angel?

Lara inserts her mouth into a frustrating sensation.

"Mr. Lara. I don't mind. ─ ─ I do fully understand that where we are stepping in is dangerous. I am also aware that I am putting a hard time on Mr Historia and all the Knights of the Holy Kingsguard. Still, we can't avoid this place any more than it is the shortest route of the divine kingdom of Mekia"

Even if we choose a relatively safe route, we are about two days late in arriving at the Shinto Mekia. This is not the failure of the Farnest kingdom to develop its territory, but is known in the first place in the Dubedilica continent for the areas inhabited by humans.

Most of them have mountains covered in forests, and there are numerous beasts there that are beyond human power. Beasts, especially those designated as dangerous pests, are and always have been a great threat to humans. The powerless humans used knowledge as their greatest weapon, cutting their territory apart little by little over the years.

Human history is also a history of survival with the beasts.

"Reasons to rush home aware of the danger...... maybe to invite Olivia Valedstorm to our country early?

Johann stroked his chin around and asked to peek at this one.

"Of course it is. King Alphonse accepted my wish without any doubt. In that sense, it's an easy opponent."

If this were the famous Ramza with the wise emperor, things would not have been carried so well. The strongest samurai your country has, even in allied countries, are not usually allowed to go easily. The time Sofitea had in contact with Alphonse was limited, but still sufficient time to extrapolate his instrumentation.

"Holy Angel, I don't think so, but are you going to bring Olivia Valedstorm into the Imperial Mechia?

Amelia asks faceless. But Sofitea didn't miss the slightest frown hanging.

"Pfft. Assuming that's the case, won't Amelia agree?

"We will not object to what the Holy Angel has decided. Just..."

"Just?"

"... I just don't seem to fit in with me somehow. They seem to be tense."

At the end of the day, he revealed his offensive expression without hiding it.

Sofitea also knows that Olivia was flattening the dishes at the table with tremendous momentum. I was just amazed at how healthy it was, but at the same time it was adorable to eat so deliciously. More awesome beauty than I was hearing goes hand in hand, and just looking at it there doesn't seem very much like a reaper shaking up the Imperial Army.

For Amelia, however, it seems to have shown how offensive it was.

"Really? I still look like Angelica, but I think there's a lot of her temperament.

I convinced Sofitea that Johann was more conspicuous. Indeed, the two are very similar in terms of innocence.

"... just because you look like Angelica, what's wrong with that?

"No, nothing."

To Johann, who laughs at Niyanya for saying so, Amelia tried to show off one rare and grand tongue pounding.

"Dear Saint Angel, I have no objection to bringing in Olivia Valedstorm either. Is its purpose still to elucidate witchcraft?

The grin disappears softly from Johann's face into Lara's words and changes into the original rugged one. Sofitea responded by smiling.

"Is that still true...... but would it be so easy to teach?

"To do so, the first prerequisite is to pull into this side. There's nothing more foolish than rushing things and failing."

That Sofitea was also difficult to judge Olivia by her short conversation at the dinner party. Still, what I found out for sure is that she has no greed, good or bad. If I were a greedy person, I'd be confident I'd cage in.

And there's this guy, Lord Zieger.

When I heard that even Johann had retreated following Amelia, Sofitea just shut up. Naturally, you can't ignore Felix when it comes to opening the battlefield with the Imperial Army in the future. Johan's story says he invited Mekia, the god kingdom, to go back to sleep, but he didn't make it a one-stop deal.

Olivia magically prevented the wind, which should have been inevitable, and Felix prevented it with a sword technique. You can also see from this that the strength of the two of you is antagonistic. None of the elements turn to Felix. If so, I'd like to keep Olivia's power even if it's not, in order to minimize this sacrifice.

That's why I think Sofitea must proceed with caution once again.

"I have no objection to pulling her in, either. However, even if you taught me, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get to see magic?

Johan's way of saying it sounded like maybe denying the sorcery. He is also a leading magician. I guess there is something called admiration. Sofitea, who didn't even know how it felt, dared not deny it.

"That's fine then. The kingdom's strongest user of force and sorcery. Even then, there is no doubt that Mekia, the kingdom of God, will benefit immeasurably."

"As Olivia Valedstorm was invited by the Holy Angel...... with what treatment do you intend to welcome him?

A slight nervousness came from Lara.

"It's true that Mr. Olivia was recently promoted from Major to Major General at once."

"The Holy Angel is right."

"I bet that's natural too from her accomplishments...... that's right. At least we can't connect until we have a chair for a thousand people."

Gotri and blunt noises spread in the carriage. When I see it, Amelia is rushing to pick up the cup she was holding. The contents seemed empty and the carpet laid on the floor would never be submerged.

Lara glances at Amelia like that with cold eyes and then opens her mouth.

"Are you an advanced Thousand Shots...... In fact I am not to mention Olivia Valedstorm's sorcery and I have not even seen sword moves. So I can't decide if I deserve it."

Saying, Lara turned a frivolous glance at Johann.

"Does Lara Sacred Sho still have questions? I hate to admit it, either, but witchcraft does exist. And her magic was clearly on top of magic. One sword move. I'm not even under her feet. Honestly, I was wondering if it would be enough for a thousand people."

"The only place above the advanced Thousand People Sho is Saint Sho. Does Johan think that Olivia Valedstorm deserves Saint Sho?

Johann smiled bitterly, bewildered, at Lara's words like a sharp blade.

"It won't be a question of what I think at this time. The Holy Angel is the only one who decides all of them."

Sofitea corrected her residence, feeling that the three gaze at the same time could be directed at her.

"As we all know, it is not my status or my family that will judge me in my ability to take up a key position. It is the bearer of the strength it deserves, or only one thing about it. I believe in Mr Johann's story, of course, and her strength has already been proven in the fight against the Imperial Army. Still, the only thing I will judge in the end is what I see in this eye. At dawn when we officially welcome Mr. Olivia, we will naturally measure our strength."

Answering that, Amelia and Lara nod cocklessly.

Sofitea thought that if you reveal your true intentions, you won't even measure your strength. More importantly, it is attested to by the fact that the Royal Army, which was a corpse, has flourished so far. It's just not hard to imagine Amelia or Lara not convinced, apart from Johann, who actually crossed swords then.

Of course I know I won't say no to what Sofitea has decided, but it will turn out to leave a lump later. Then you are disqualified as the one who can unite the Divine Kingdom of Mekia. In order to fulfil the continental unity, which is a grief, we must not let our ministers have as much suspicion as we have of Mao.

(That and this is whether Olivia shakes her neck vertically against my invitation... In the meantime, the prerequisite is to gather famous cooks when you get back to the country. And the woman who was following Mr. Olivia. Probably her deputy, but that's a little out of the way)

The landscape you see through the window is a harsh world where there is constant survival competition.

The carriage was thrusting through the darkness with a creepy sound - -.
