Kanto Elsphere La Shaim Castle

When Lara visited Sofitea's office, she was handing Sofitea a report. Sofitea turned a blind eye to the report as she told Lara that it would be over soon.

"- Was the young man safe?"

"Ha. Now we're back in the mansion where we were honored"

"So you're saying Mr. Olivia's back, too?

As soon as Sofitea gave Olivia her name, she gave a frightened look. As an escort to protect Sofitea from the shadows, this was one of the ones Lara had pre-positioned on the hunting grounds.

"As the Holy Angel said, Olivia the Reaper is back with us"

"Okay. Thank you for reporting."

"Ha. Excuse me"

Side by side, Sofitea grinned and spoke as she moved to the gray couch placed in the center of the room.

"As Lara has just heard, the young man is safe."

"I didn't expect to survive under that circumstance..."

He was blown away by Norfest and fell under a cliff. I organized a search party at Sofitea's behest, but I just thought it was going to end in vain.

"You're really the owner of strong luck. Please sit down without Lara standing."

"Ha. Now if you'll excuse me"

Sofitea, who confirmed that Lara had sat down, called the samurai and gave instructions to carry the tea.

"─ Well. In conclusion, I wanted Mr. Olivia."

"Is that because you've seen the battle against Norfest?

"Of course you're right. There was still a difference between listening and actually seeing it with this eye. This is exactly what the Hundred News says only at first sight."

Sofitea said pleasantly.

"... Holy Angel, forgive me for my disrespect"

"I don't mind. I don't ask for words that are just annoying."

"In one case with Norfest, I decided it was dangerous to put Olivia in my nostalgia. I don't have to know if it's magic, and it's not normal to kill that warcraft lightly with one sword."

…………

…………

A squire quietly places the teacup on the table to sew between moments of silence. Sofitea slowly rinsed the tea as she gracefully took it.

"─ Does Lara want to say that I can't help Olivia?

"I don't say so. It's just that, as Zephyr said before, she's out of the boundaries of people, and that's what creates signs that human common sense doesn't make sense. I thought what Johann was afraid of was probably around there."

Lara was remembering the battle between Olivia and Norfez. Sword moves, body tricks, which are very first-rate and so on are raw words, and I can also convince you that Johann now affirms that he doesn't even reach under his feet. It would be different if magic were used, but the sword technique did not allow for any image of Olivia to win. Lara. Even Historia with the alias "Two-Class Sword“ would be a defeat imperative in front of Olivia's sword moves.

And...

(I was laughing. That woman was fighting with a thin laugh in front of Norfest, who was afraid of the Warcraft. That's not normal, no matter what you think)

Sometimes I make laughs of confidence to inspire the guards. But Olivia's grin is nothing like that. That's what made Lara feel terrible.

Sofitea says.

"It's easy to keep away from it because it's dangerous. But then we cannot achieve the hegemony of continental unity. Doesn't Mr. Lara think so?

"That may be..."

"He's a strong man who can do all that without any witchcraft and with one sword move. If we get Mr. Olivia, the reunification of the continent will become more realistic."

"... didn't the Holy Angel feel horrible seeing that battle?

If you are dedicated to the battle, it is a natural emotion to learn to fear the battle between Olivia and Norfez, which is out of common sense. Even the brave Knights of St. Kingsguard, in fact, were just as fearful on their faces as they were all at that time.

But I hear Sofitea was different.

"Terror? ─ Instead, I was impressed by Olivia's battle. So much so that I feel crazy loving."

That's what makes a miserable grin Sofitea. Lara had to abandon any further persuasion at the same time as she was at war.

"I understand what the Holy Angel thinks. I have nothing more to say."

"I'll keep Mr. Lara's thoughts in mind. - By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow?

"With the permission of the Holy Angel, I'm going to have an observation ceremony that I've been postponing."

The purpose of the observance ceremony is to hustle and tell the Olivians - and hence the kingdom of Farnest - about the power of the Saint Shoah's army in one way or another. It was supposed to be intercepted the day after the hunt, but it took into account the circumstances on the part of the Kingdom and dropped it off until a single settlement had been reached.

"Right...... if it means that that young man was found alive, it won't be a problem. So proceed."

"Yes, sir."

"Then the day after tomorrow, I invite Mr. Olivia to dinner again"

If it's on schedule, three days from now, the day Olivia and the others return home. I know Olivia has a pending response to Sofitea's invitation. Definitely will bring another discussion at the dinner table.

"... Yes, I did. I'll tell Angelica that."

"Please. Give Olivia everything she wants for the next two days. Sell as much thanks as you can. That's why I can't move anymore."

There will be differences in degrees, but the more you sell a favour, the more people feel grateful. However, Lara wondered whether Olivia, who was supposed to be an outsider, would be able to sell her favors.
