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

-The next morning.

When Olivia and the others were enjoying a sufficiently sumptuous breakfast, even if it was not as good as dinner, Valencia informed them that a messenger had arrived and they met again in the Commander's Office.

"Safe on the road, more importantly. I, Historia Stampede, will guide you to Elsphere, the capital of God."

The Olivia line, which departed Fort Sharna according to a guide named Historia, continues further west towards the Shinto Elsphere. What's different from the road so far is that the Knights of the Holy Kingsguard, wearing rotten armor on both sides of the platoon, are following as escorts.

The Knights of the Holy Kingsguard is tasked with protecting Sofitea, the Holy Angel. Her thoughts about generously treating Olivia also seemed clear from this.

"You're beautiful again."

When Ashton so acclaimed as he watched Historia's rear across the white horse at the head, he was similarly directed at Claudia across the white horse with an icy cold gaze.

"Does Ashton prefer a woman like that?

"What?"

Claudia asks Ashton again in a frustrating tone, who doesn't understand what he means.

"So Ashton is asking if you prefer a woman like that?

"─ Yes, no, that's not what I meant..."

Finally, Ashton disagrees with the understanding. I never thought Claudia would ask me about a woman's preferences just because I felt like I was simply beautiful when I saw the flowers.

"So what does that mean?

Claudia asks in a feeding mood as she leans over a white horse. Ashton replied, wondering not to get involved.

"I just said what I thought. It doesn't make any particular deep sense...... the atmosphere is somewhat similar to that of Lieutenant Colonel Claudia. Lieutenant Colonel Claudia is beautiful."

"... I don't need that kind of compliment"

After placing a strange time, Claudia said, trying to stare at Ashton. Ashton immediately objected, just because there was no fine dust, such as the intention to flatter him.

"No, I'm not flattering you, I'm serious."

Answering that with a straight face, Claudia walks away from Ashton in a faceted manner. Claudia has been somewhere approximate since then, stroking her hair tightly.

When Ashton is surprised by Claudia's attitude, which he doesn't normally see,

"You can't put Major Ashton in the middle corner, either."

Ellis has whispered in Ashton's ear as he leaned over his horse.

"What do you mean you can't put it in the corner?

"Again. Well. You don't have to light it up."

Ellis pokes her chest with her elbow as she nibbles. Pocan, not knowing what it meant at all, rapidly shriveled Ellis's mouth, which was on his nibble.

"Maybe..."

"Maybe, what?

Ignoring Ashton's question magnificently, Ellis looks at Claudia with a stealthy eye. But it didn't last long either, instead letting his shoulders clasp wide.

"Kuwabara Kuwabara. If they strangle me again, it won't be anything."

"Hey, what's Ellis saying from earlier?

Exactly when she remembered the frustration, Ellis clearly exhaled a great deal of sigh and showed her salute to this.

"It was my silence. Never mind."

"No, I'm curious to hear you say that?

"Never mind. Major Blunt!

Ellis pulled the reins and headed under Olivia.

(Blunt Major?... Ellis thinks Lieutenant Colonel Claudia cares about me?

Turn your gaze to the right, thinking it's something that's about ridiculous to imagine. Then Claudia and I saw each other looking at this one.

─ ─

Claudia turned away looking badly as her bat flashed her gaze.

(... No, no, no. No matter how glamorous you look at me, you're only thinking about my little brother, aren't you?

Even if I look at Claudia again, I'm already talking to Evansin about something. Affirming that it was still Ellis' mistake, Ashton tilted his consciousness towards what was to come.

(Lieutenant Colonel Claudia is right, Sofitea Hell Mecchia is not alarmed. As a general rule, not failing to guard Olivia needs to find out what her purpose is around. It's imperative to know who she is to do that, but I'm also suspicious if we can have a conversation in the first place...)

Anyway, the other queen is coming to unify the country. One or myself is just a civilian. If you think naturally, you won't even be able to talk. I don't even know if I can worship you in the first place.

"─ Major Ashton, what's the matter with you because you look difficult?

Evansin, who was talking to Claudia, was next door at some point.

"... What does Evansin think of Olivia's invitation to Mekia, the Reich?

"Oh, is that what you mean? I was still talking to Lieutenant Colonel Claudia about it, but I'm pretty sure I'm interested in His Excellency Olivia."

"Well, I guess so."

If you're not interested, you don't invite Olivia, who is a soldier in the first place, aside from royalty. The question is what Sofitia is interested in about Olivia.

The first thing Ashton can come up with is enough force from the Empire to be afraid of Reaper...

"Either way, we have nothing more to offer than to wait for them to get out. Whatever the intention, it is formally a tribute visit. You can't imitate badly from here."

"Still, I think we should assume everything."

"Of course it is, but don't imitate Major Ashton dangerously ahead of time. Like His Excellency Olivia, there is no substitute for Major Ashton."

Ashton squeezes his face tight and nods.

The road has been calm since the Knights of the Holy Kingsguard escorted. Without a burglar collapse like the Dawn Mercenaries showing up, after a day's itinerary after leaving Fort Sharna, the Olivia line arrived in the Kanto Elsphere.
