In a few tens of minutes.

After completing the physical examination, Titis and Philexia were taken to Sylvestria and walked down the hallway.

Both of them have returned to their original clothes, and Titis' hair has been braided.

Cellet followed at the rear, keeping an eye on the two.

"Ugh, I didn't think I was going to show you by widening my asshole..."

Felixia walked down the hallway halfway.

Titis is walking next to her with a bruised face and a dropped shoulder.

"Well, it's common for hostages to have these kinds of inspections... but I don't think it's humiliating over there."

Titis said that, but for now he was only a little relieved that Felixia was not being treated inhumanely.

When I escaped the Legion Fortress, I was too impatient to allow Felixia to accompany me, but now I think it was quite a devious move.

Unlike herself, who's being held hostage, Felixia just came along on her own.

Philexia's arsenal came to light when she spoke with Zirconia in the fort's warehouse, down the hill a while ago.

Exactly, I don't know what to do if someone asks me for information about a weapon in a flying fire.

I haven't spoken to you about the idea, because I don't want to frighten Philexia.

”I'll never forgive you again... I'm too embarrassed to dream about it.”

“Maybe they'll do the same exams again and again.At that time, let's give up and obey.I'm going out with you, too. "

Yeah... Titis-san, you've got a lot of guts.

"Here we are. Watch your behavior and your attitude."

Sylvestria knocks on the door and calls herself, waiting for a reply and opening the door.

Inside, Nelson and other Arcadian leaders sat across the table.

Titis bowed his head.

Philexia followed suit and bowed her head in haste.

"My name is Titis, and I'm the secretary of the 10th Corps of the Barber Army."

Ah, uh, my name is Felixia, and I'm an engineer.

"Hmm. Thank you for coming.Well, sit down. "

Nelson enthusiastically recommends the two of them a seat in the front.

They took their seats, refusing to "excuse me".

Nelson sits opposite the long table, with generals like Zirconia, Luglo, Ixios, and Mikrem sitting on either side of it.

Ichira, Valletta, and Leaze are not here.

In the corner of the room was a potted plant that had not been placed until yesterday.

Philexia was relieved to see that Leaze was not in the room.

I didn't expect the secretary to come so soon, so I was very surprised.

Nelson talks to both of them in a soft tone.

"Moreover, I didn't expect even the engineer woman to be with me."I heard that Lord Fylexia created poison weapons, long-range projectiles with large arrows, and large stone projectors? ”

“Yes, I designed them.”

"Hmm. Did you think about it alone?"

Yes.

"Oh, that's amazing." We're here, and we need you to deepen your ties with our arsenal.I'll introduce you later. "

"Eh, is that true!?" Thank you! "

Fylexia's expression glowed.

In exchange, Titis sighed, “I don't know what to do.”

When Nelson says that, he'll be locked up for the rest of their lives unless the war ends with a Barber victory.

Until the day of her liberation, she must defend herself somehow.

"Oh, and that's it!" The soldier was using an extremely dazzling tool when I had my physical examination. That was-- "

Lady Nelson, I'd like to speak to you soon about the poison weapon.

Titis interrupts Felixia as she starts talking.

"Hey, Titis-"

……

Titis gently puts his hand on Felixia's thighs, which she turns to face with frustration.

Felixia closed her mouth when she noticed that there was a thin sweat on her forehead.

“We have reached an agreement on the non-use of poison weapons, but the Senate intends to use them extensively in the next attack.We need your help to stop that. ”

"Hmm. How can I help you?"

"I want you to take aim at the Senate Army with your long-range weaponry flying an iron bullet."

Looking straight into Nelson's eyes, Titis burst out.

At that time, in the separate room of the dormitory, Ichira, Valletta, and Leaze were sitting on the sofa and staring at the video sent from the surveillance camera.

In response to Titiz's words, "I want you to shoot at the Senate," I heard a voice saying "Oh."

”Awesome... Ixios-san's predictions, don't they?”

"General Kylen, you're really going to kill all the senators..."

Ichira and Valletta were impressed.

Leaze stared at the monitor with an uncomfortable expression.

"In any country, after all, personal circumstances are swinging around."The only casualties are the unrelated members of the public. "

"I see... but, well, this is convenient for us."We may be able to wipe out the other party's leadership. ”

"Yeah. Can you do that, Valletta?"

Leaze turned to Valletta.

"Depending on the distance, if you fire all the guns at once, I'm sure there will be some... but I don't think that's going to be enough to wipe them out."

"You're right... ah, I'm talking about that"

At the sound of talking from the monitor, the three listen with their mouths clenched.

The footage is constantly being recorded, so you can look back later.

I see, assassinated by the chaos.

Saccord nodded convincedly in the monitor.

'Yes, they pretend to be evacuated, and the senators are taken down by the soldiers of the 10th Corps who sneaked in beforehand.This should work. "

But that leaves sting marks and beating marks on the corpse, right?The soldiers of the Senate Army will also see us, so what are you going to do? ”

Zirconia asks Titiz.

Originally, I don't care about the other party's convenience, but I asked because I was interested.

I'm not going to kill everything.The objective is to take down the First Consul, who serves as the Supreme Commander, and some of his closest associates.I think it will be a bet, but Kai-ren-sama will do well. "

I see. When we get rid of these people, do you think he'll offer to temporarily take command of the entire army to the lost-headed HQ?

I was wondering if it would be like that.That way, we can stop the use of the poison weapon.We must do it for all the soldiers on the battlefield. ”

”Hmm... Nelson, what are you going to do?”

Zirconia turns to Nelson.

In order to avoid poisonous ramblings, we can take out the enemy Commander-in-Chief without risking our lives.There's no reason to say no, but.... "

Nelson thinks a little bit.

If you're going to cooperate so much, I'd like something in return.

In return?

Hmm. Frankly, stopping the use of poison weapons is the best way to get rid of the First Consul, right?

Nelson said it with a mouthful of probing.

... what do you mean?

That's exactly what I said. General Kylen is going to take political leadership away from the Senate, isn't he? ”

……

"If I were him, I would want to end the war as soon as possible at the stage of taking real power.To return to the capital, to gain the support of the people, and to stand on top of power.It would be possible for General Kaylen, who gained so much popularity from the citizens after the ambush on the fortress. "

Arcadia and Barbele have left the crowd alone, and we know what Barbele's public opinion is like.

Months ago, rumors were spreading in the capital of Barber that Arcadia had raided villages and businesses near the border.

Thinking that Arcadia was doing a good job, the Balvellian nation slipped into the fort when a regiment of redeployed Kaylen from the north raided the fort and fell, “Well done!And I celebrated him as a hero.

'Right there. In return for your help with the operation, what if I were to say,' I'm going to pull out all the Barber forces that were deploying in front of the fort? 'Of course, this is under a promise not to stand in the way of a retreat. ”

”... I see. That way, Arcadia will be able to fortify her defenses, and Kaylen will have time to return to the capital and consolidate her legs.”

'Hmm. We have suffered a lot from repeated battles.Moreover, excessive conscription is slowing the economy, and it is difficult for the battle to prolong, as it did in the last war.If possible, we would like to propose peace at a time when General Kylen has real political power. "

"Haa, Mr. Nelson." I'll tell you what you're good at. "

The conversation that resounded from the monitor leaked a voice that was impressed to one person.

You're saying what the other person wants in return to induce action.

"With this, the Barbale army can retreat with a major swing... towards Mudia, who has already fallen."

Barber is now under full attack from the barbarians of the North.

In a situation where we are secretly extracting troops and sending them back north so that we don't find out, Kaylen will jump if we make this offer.

After all, they don't dream that we already know what happened far north.

Even if the spies let them know, they still think it's going to take quite a few days.

Well, let's write to General Kylen like that.Titis-sama, could you write it down for me? "

I understand. May I also have your autograph, Mr. Felixia? ”

Yes, of course.

Titis receives the paper and ballpoint pen Nelson offers.

Felixia, next door, stares at it.

"... this is a writing instrument I've never seen before."Is it a gift from God? '

'Hmm. It's a very convenient substitute.You can write letters continuously without ink.Give it a try.

Yes, can I just write what Nelson says?

Oh, let's do that.

Titis wrote down Nelson's words on paper.

At the end of the sentence, he also wrote that he would return Titis and Philexia when the war was over.

Titis and Philexia are relieved by this, but their faces are a little less nervous.

"... Father, I'm going to destroy the Barber army."

Valletta nodded to Leaze's crush.
