Soul Eater of the Rebellion
Episode 73: To Onigashima
Having obtained permission from Emperor Amadeus II to come through the Wisp Gate, I bid farewell to the Emperor and Prince Shiohan and left the Imperial Palace with Baron Zide, who is the role of the Emperor Fu.
Sometimes the conversation with the Emperor has been prolonged, and the days have sunk a long time ago.
After explaining everything to Craia, who was waiting at the Baron's Mansion, we finally made it to Onigashima - we arrived in the Imperial Capital today.As expected, it is tough to leave the Imperial Capital soon and go to Kigashima all night long.I'm sick of Claire anyway, and Claw Solas needs a break.
Passing through the gate is only a crossing point.The show is an exploration of the interior of the gate beyond, and the impossibility here will come later.Everything is in a hurry.
We stayed overnight at the Baron's Mansion at Baron Zeed's pleasure, and the next day we left the Imperial Capital with the sunrise.
The destination is the port town where boat flights to Kigashima take place.
As I mentioned earlier when I returned home, there are only two boat flights a day to go to Onigashima, and the boarding pass cannot be obtained without the examination of the Dagger family.
You can ignore it and enter Onigashima directly on Crow Solas, but the Emperor gave you permission to enter the Onigashima Gate.You don't even have to rub things up by behaving like a piece of paper.Everything is the same as below.
The question is whether we can pass the Dagger's judgment, but I'm not worried about anything about it.
When I turned my gaze to my fingers, there was something that had never been in the Imperial City.
It is a public identity ring - a signature ring.
When a king or aristocracy sends an envoy, they give it to him instead of the envoy's ID, but the effect of the Seal of Authentication Ring (Signet) that Emperor Adastella just gave him is not the ratio of the Seal of Authentication Ring (Signet).
In fact, he arrived at the port town and showed the official the seal ring (signal), and arranged the boarding pass with the momentum of not lying flat on the ground.
"Well, the Emperor's Seal of Recognition Ring (Signet) is really a new spirit experiment."
Looking at the two boarding passes I had, I smiled ill.
Claire, who was sitting beside her, looked nervous and opened her mouth.
"Um, sir, the sky.Are you sure you want to keep heading to the island?
When I hear that word, I look up at the face of the gray-haired flagman.
I always thought that I could finally go to help my brother with Onigashima at the moment, but that's not the atmosphere.
Looking at the other person's face, thinking that the fact of missing the island might not have pulled back now, Craig raised his voice as if he was in a hurry when he noticed this strange look.
"Ah, is it okay if you don't hide your face and dye your hair?
Oh, is that so?
I noticed Claire's anxiety and nodded lightly.
It is a felony for a swordsman to escape the island.No matter how spiritual the Emperor's Seal of Recognition Ring (Signet) is, it cannot be that he did not commit the crime of deserting the island.
As for Claire, he hid his characteristic appearance of gray hair and red eyes, and he probably intended to dress up as someone else and walk around the gate.Even if they realize who they are, they can use the emperor's majesty as a shield to avoid pursuit--I thought so, but I won't do anything about it.It is thought that I have received confirmation.
I responded lightly to this.
"Never mind.You'll be fine. "
"Is that so...?
"That's right.So keep your chest up and be grand. "
When I heard that, Craia turned her eyes black and white without knowing why.
Looking at such a client, I looked back this time.
As I've thought before, I can't accept this one at face value when Craia gets to Ishka without ever being attacked by a chaser.Perhaps the Dagger family deliberately missed the island of Craig.In fact, even in this port, which is supposed to be the garden of the Dagger family, the chaser can't even see the shadow.
There is no doubt that the Swordsman used Craia to summon me.Last time you called me on Mother's Day.This time, it became "through the island of Claire".
I don't know who came up with this idea, but I think it's my soul to use my power to attack some strange devil.Crimt said he was ordered to "beat the demon king Azma" as a condition to help his sister, so I think he would say similar things to me.
Of course, I'm not nodding just because I gave the order, so it's definite to bring Claire's innocence in exchange.
For the Swordsman, Clyde is like a chain on my neck.That's why I'm not alert to pursuits.
"Anyway, think of nothing wrong with us.If you hide your face or dye your hair, it's like you're looking for a weakness. "
"Yes, sir. I will follow the orders of the Emperor."
Craia nods honestly to these words while still leaving a puzzling color on her face.
I know from this attitude, but I haven't told Claire my guess.Everything stays in my chest.
Everything I've said so far is an imagination assembled from the situation.If my guess is wrong, the worst thing that can happen is that a chaser raids where the client who listened to me is alarmed.I avoided it.
Besides, in this case, there were a number of situations where it was really not strange for Claire to die.If you succeed, that's it.Even if you fail and lose Craig, it's clear to the creator's intentions that it's okay.
The same is true of Crimut, whose sister and brother, to put it simply, were discarded.
If I tell my guess, Craig will soon realize it.No matter how much I guess, I'm reluctant to say, "You and my brother have been abandoned."
--But who was the originator?
Though I've thought about it several times before, I still haven't come to a conclusion.
Gilmore Berch is the first to come up with a name because of the overall inferiority felt, such as taking advantage of the feelings of her sister who thinks of her brother.
However, this time, if I abandon Craia, it will be over, in other words, a kind of appeal to love.This point doesn't seem to be Gilmore.
The next name that comes to mind is Ayaka.Back home, Ayaka used the old codes to tell me about Claire's plight.If you read it deeply, you can think of it as an attempt to connect me to Claire.
It is possible that Ragna, who heard from Ayaka, plotted to send me to the dead.
However, whether it's Ayaka or Ragna, I don't hesitate to fall into my shoes, but I feel like I'm not thinking of throwing away my fellow students, Claire and Crimut, as tokens for that.At least if they were the two I knew five years ago, I wouldn't think of a solution like this one.
Last thing I thought of was my father.
But this idea also carries with it a question mark.I can't help but think that my father did such a trick to summon me.
Last time, the way I used my mother's life day was also a small piece of craftsmanship, but when it came to what my father did, he only sent out a letter.From the point of view of effort, it was to the extent that it took a long time.
In contrast, this time, the Dagger spent a huge amount of effort on countermeasures.This point is no match for my father's way.
As long as I hear about Crimut, I am certain that my father is involved in this solution, but if I am asked if I am the originator of the solution, the answer is no.
"- Well, whoever created it, I didn't expect to involve the Emperor.Let's see what you can do. "
Contrary to the instincts of the originator who intended to keep things inside the Dagger family, I forced the situation to change by bringing in an external factor called the Emperor.
Specifically, a girl under the age of twenty (Claire) succeeded in crossing an island that no one had ever succeeded in the past, and that became known to the Emperor.
It was only the other day that the Onimon tribe broke the guards of the Onimon Gate and the walls of Shudo were destroyed.On top of that, the discovery of the fact that the island is off is meaningful.
― ― The Dagger family fell into an incompetent house that could not contain the outside enemy or heal its inner allies.
-That's not a rough story, is it?
Your throat is shaking.
Once it reaches the emperor's ear, you will only receive a false excuse to confuse the state of affairs if you later explain, "I deliberately missed it."
The originator of this must be bluishing.Or will it turn bright red?Either way, it feels good.Both of you swordsmen deserve what you've done to me.
Craia looked at me with a smile and a bad smile, and she looked strangely at me.
