Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"... eh?"

One of them leaked a sloppy voice with a warm face.

Valletta and the others looked stunned.

"In the letter, it was written that" the Tribal Alliance wants to fight with you allies as a front against the Barber. "They want us to respond to their all-out assault. It seems to have been signed by the barbarian chieftains."

Arrondo is Haber's brother Arrondo Rousson, right?

"That's right, a letter apologizing for what I've done has been sent along with it." This is the content. "

Nelson takes out the notepad and hands it to Zirconia.

"Um... I apologize for suddenly disappearing. I've been--"

Zirconia reads out a letter from Alond.

An apology for the sudden disappearance.

I have been infiltrating the Barber Senate, gaining their trust and gathering information.

The Barber forces fled from the capital to the fort at the same time as they broke into barbarian territory.

Convincing one of the tribal chiefs to tell Arcadia and Barber about the war and convincing all tribes to launch an all-out assault on Barber.

Bloodless occupation of the port city of Droma, northwest of Barber.

In addition, the location of the Barber army and the composition of the corps acquired by Arrondissements during their incursion into Barber, as well as the character of each corps commander and the food reserves of various cities and cities, were described in detail.

Too much detailed information just surprises the Ichiwa.

"No, no way, that's not true..."

Leaze's stunned face.

Already, Alond thought he had just defected to Balbert and sold Arcadia's information.

I didn't think it would have done such a big thing.

“Those who brought the papers were barbarian soldiers and captured fishermen from Barber. As proof, he was carrying the original Droma map with the senate's seal of approval."

"In the middle of the night, I floated a large number of rafts offshore and lit a torch, or I tried to surrender as if there was a large fleet." I can't believe it. "

Zirconia looks down at the note paper and says:

"Depending on the weather, it's impossible." For example, if it is disturbed by heavy rain, the visibility at sea will be worse, and it will be easier to camouflage. That's right, I don't know if I can prepare a raft for the rain. "

"So you didn't betray Mr. Alound, did you?"

One of the people who looked at Zirconia's letter said it was puffy.

"There are several things written that are the same as the information we have, and it seems that we can trust them. Isn't it true that Mr. Arondo has been moving around on his own for Arcadia?"

"That's..."

Nelson mumbles.

As for Nelson, I didn't think it would be that easy to trust him.

When Zirconia was captured, Titis told me about water wheels, mills, and screw presses.

Those are the same blueprints that Alonde brought out, and you can assume he gave them to Balvair.

Above all, the fact that he disappeared on his own without telling himself anything was too great.

“As far as I'm concerned, it's just an opportunistic behavior.”

Valletta opens her mouth instead of Nelson, who is worried about how to answer Yoshi.

"Alon... she stole a bunch of machine blueprints and defected to Barber without even telling Nelson." You know the details of the battle over the fortress, and I think you fled to the tribal realm after judging that the flag had gone bad. ”

Valletta sees the best.

In his serious gaze, an agitation ran through one of his eyes.

"It's dangerous to trust that person, Mr. Khazra." I know some of the information in the letter is correct, but lying is something you hide in the truth. You should stop thinking of him like a loyal minister. ”

……

"It's a different matter of wanting to believe it and being able to believe it. This operation is going well, so we shouldn't dare put uncertainty in it.”

"... yes, I think Valletta is right."

Zirconia nods.

"If you're really dealing with a barbarian, you might be able to return the palm of your hand." The power of the barbarians is unknown. "

"Hmm. Maybe we should think about it."

"... that's right."

Zirconia and Nelson nodded in agony.

According to Valletta, if you trust Alond fully and decide to fight with the Barbarians, you could be punched in the flank and suffer a lot of damage.

For one thing, I was strongly impressed by his integrity and reliability when working with him at Isteria, and I often thought that it was "maybe" even after he disappeared.

As Valletta pointed out, there is certainly a desire to believe him, but the reality is that it is impossible.

You shouldn't put the whole country at risk by prioritizing your feelings.

"Mr. Valletta is right. Forget what I just said."

Valletta was relieved when she said it with a thoughtful face.

Yes, Master Nelson, how do you plan to respond to the request from the Barbarians?

"For the time being, I think I'll respond by accepting." If you keep poking around here, you'll run the risk of getting caught in the battle as soon as you encounter a barbarian army. "

“I see. Maybe that's good. But we need to be careful that we don't end up fighting the Barber forces side by side.”

"Oh, of course I'll be careful there. However, I wonder how the envoy crossed the sea without being captured by the Barber Navy....."

"...... Nelson, I have a suggestion for you."

The thoughtful zirconia called out to Nelson.

"Can you create a face-to-face opportunity with Alond at some point?" or as a messenger from the barbarians. "

"Hmm, I don't know if I can make it... but why?"

"I thought I'd take my head off, right?"

Three people, other than Valletta, have a dirty look on their faces at the words.

"It's already a punishment to be bothered by this, even if it's the man's fault." It's better if you kill it. "

"No, no, but if you do that, it's going to be a war with the barbarians." Isn't Arundo trusted enough to be a part of the chieftains? "

Aura rushes to a halt.

"It's also suspicious whether it's true." I can't tell if the chiefs' signatures are authentic. "

"That's true, but being naked..."

"That's right, let's just give in to Balvair first."

"Mu....."

I was embarrassed by Nelson, and Zirconia looked disgruntled.

"For now, I think it's a good idea to go through it calmly, even if you see him." If you pretend to be on the plan, the barbarians might also be on guard. ”

With a word from Leaze, Ichira and Nelson nodded.

"Oh, that would be nice." Let's consult with His Highness and Ixios and make a decision. "

Nelson opens the door and leaves the room.

Leaze gently walked over to Valletta as everyone followed.

"Hey, wait a minute. It's about Alondo."

Yes?

Valletta stops.

There were only Valletta and Leaze in the room.

Perhaps, as Kasura says, Arondo has really broken into Barber in order to incite the Barbarians to return home?

Leaze listened to Valletta's expression.

"Why do you think that?"

"After all, the design she brought out is surely a water wheel, a donkey, a mill, an ore crusher, a screw press, and a new harness, right?" Even the blueprints for forging machines and blast furnaces could have been taken out if they were good at that position, but you didn't do that, did you? "

That's right.

“You know, and there's no report of new harnesses starting to be used in Balvair. If you use something that stands out, you won't find out. Moreover, when Alond was gone, I kept a document in his room that summarized his future work schedule in an easy-to-understand manner. Isn't that weird?"

"Yes, that's strange." I don't think I've given him any blueprints that would be of great military use, and I think I've prepared some materials to make sure he doesn't interfere with Istria's business after he disappears. ”

Valletta nodded immediately, and Leaze tilted her head.

Huh? So you really think that Valletta hasn't betrayed Alond?

"Yes, but I can't trust him." You don't have to deal with them properly. ”

Valletta speaks out loud and clear.

Somewhere in this powerful voice, Leaze felt a little withdrawn.

”Um, um... that's because Alondo made a fool of Kazura before...?”

Previously, when Valletta was dictated to Alondo, Leaze recalls that he made a sarcastic statement.

Leaze hadn't heard Arondo's voice, but Valletta had said something that sounded like a pretty terrible scolding.

“Yes, I would never trust a man who beguiled Kazra like that.”

I told him to throw up and left the room with the stateroom.

"Hmmm... but if you were going to do this, why did you say something like dictating Valletta or scolding Kozura?" I don't think she's stupid enough to leave her feelings to it. "

Leaze tilted her neck at the confluence and followed Valletta.

At that time, Titis and Philexia, who had been returned to the room, were sitting in a chair across the table and taking a breath.

”Ugh, it hurts... that Sylvestrian is so rude.”

Philexia rubbed her right arm, which turned bright red.

It seemed to be gripped with a lot of force, and the back of Sylvestria's finger clearly remained red.

"Because Mr. Philexia does that kind of imitation." If you're not good enough, you'll get killed, so be careful in the future. ”

Oh, Titis with that face.

My arm was twisted up by Cellet and I hurt my shoulder a little bit.

"Nevertheless, it seems that the female soldiers of Arcadia are quite trained." I can't believe your arms are like that just by being gripped. "

”I thought I was really going to crush my arm... there it was”

Philexia rubbed her arms and sighed.

"It's the same with those Uribows, but what about Arcadia?" Is technical cooperation also provided by some countries beyond the southern seas? ”

"I see... 11 years ago, a small country like Japan finally fought with four countries together, and in only five years, it became so powerful." As Lord Nelson said earlier, the help of God might not be a lie after all. "

Fylexia frowned at Titiz's words.

"Titis-san, there is no God in the world." If you're here, isn't it strange that all the strife and poverty from this world hasn't disappeared? "

“I'm just kidding, don't get angry.”

"Damn it... by the way, Titis-san." I was looking for Mr. Zirconia, is there anything I can tell you? ”

Titis's face darkens in response to Felixia's question.

"... yes, I'd like to ask you a few questions about Arsha-san."

"Mr. Arsha? Why did you kill her?"

Philexia tilts her head.

"Mr. Lars said something about Mr. Arsha, didn't he?" because she declared to Master Zirconia that she would "kill you"

"Yes, but what do you think about that..."

Titiz's eyes seeped with tears.

Although it was a short period of time, as a friend who spoke intimately, Titis was very fond of Arsha.

She was the only one of her kind to exchange words on a daily basis, and Aasha, with a very straight heart, was one of the few friends to be able to relax and speak on her shoulders.

Besides, she was murdered because Kyren conspired with Zirconia to kill General Marquez.

Titis's heart was severely exhausted by Kaylen's ruthless deeds, which she trusted with all her heart.

"Titis-san, I had no choice." Kai Len and Zirconia both had problems, so it's not good to dig them up now. ”

“I know. Still, I really wanted to hear it."

"Hmm... it's not my in-laws, but I'm worried that Titis will eat from Zirconia, depending on Zirconia's response."

Philexia said with a troubled face.

"I told you whether to use a poison weapon or not, the most troublesome thing is hatred." If anything happens, Titis-san could be killed by Zirconia-sama. "

"...... Doesn't Felixia care?" You were so close to Asha-san! "

Titis groaned at Fylexia, his voice rough.

"My friend was murdered without a trace!" That's because of Kai Len-sama's plan! "

Titis-san, it's a priority.

Philexia looks at Titis with a worrying look on her face.

"I also liked Mr. Arsha." But she's dead. And we are captured by the Arcadian forces. If you don't think about what you want to do and what you need to do separately, the future will be closed. ”

”... Felixia-san is calm, isn't she?”

Titis lowers the tone of her voice and nods.

Felixia smiled a little lonely at her.

“No, I'm just being petty. It's the first thing that Kai-ren-sama cares about, and he's just lowering all the other priorities.”

Philexia rubbed her red swollen arm.

"If you can take care of Kai-ren-sama, I don't care about anything else." Thanks to Philexia, I am who I am now. If you can heartily tell me that Flexia is the most important thing to me, I won't complain if I get killed afterwards. ”

"... why are you doing this?"

"I'm an abomination."

Titis raises his face and looks at Felixia.

She was depressed, stroking her swollen arm.

"My father was a barbarian, my mother was raped by him and I was born. My mother died of illness or was killed as soon as she gave birth to me, and I've never even seen her face.”

……

"Until I was about eight years old, I was treated like a livestock animal, but somehow I was given enough food to live with. But the villagers must have curtailed me for being useless, as soon as I fell asleep with a fever. It was dumped in the forest in the middle of winter."

"... did you get Kaylen to save you?"

"Yes, I've heard that a legion of soldiers found it by chance." When I realized it, I was lying in a barracks bed. ”

Philexia narrows her eyes as she remembers the time.

"When I opened my eyes, Kai-ren-sama said," Oh, have you noticed? '"I smiled. The first thing I saw in my life was a warm smile for me.”

Titis loses his words.

Until now, I didn't know anything about Felixia's origins, and I've seen her face for the first time in about a year.

Kaylen hadn't even talked about her before, so she didn't even know it existed.

When I first met him, I asked him, "Who is this woman?", but he was troubled to say, "I didn't hide it just because it wasn't a topic."

From the look on his face at that time, Titis thinks he meant it.

"After recovering my health, I was sent to the capital. I was taken care of in the old house of Kai Len, but I asked her to help me with my work.”

“So you decided to follow the craftsman's path?”

Fylexia smiles at Titis's words.

"Yes, I was desperate not to be abandoned." If these people don't like it, they might throw it away again. "

But Felixia and I continue.

"Every time I came to the capital, Lady Kaylen came to see how I was doing. Every time I said that I could do that, I said," Let's do it. "That's how it went."

Titis's expression was softened by Fylexia, who said happily.

I was able to hear Kaylen's warm side, and I realized that I was relieved.

"So, it became my goal to get praise from Kaylen-sama." I want more praise. I needed it from Kaylen-sama. I started to want to have Kai Len-sama to myself. "

"... I see." I can 't-- "

"That's why! When I finally saw Titis when she called me into the Legion with great joy, I was so shocked that I had to peel off my eyes!"

Suddenly Felixia screamed out in indignation, and Titis hardened with her mouth half open.

"I didn't know you were insulting Lady Kaylen while I was gone!" Don't get carried away just because it's a little stylish! If Titis hadn't been a kind person, she'd have been poisoning herself! ”

"Eh, kyu, suddenly what?"

"I am the one who will marry Lord Kaylen!" I will definitely take it back! "

"Fylexia-san, calm down..."

"Damn it! Don't shout!"

Van, and the door opened, revealing an angry figure of Cellet, and Titis and Philexia jumped.

Behind Cellet, "Ah," Sylvestria said, reaching out to Cellet with a sad face.

"Next time you make a noise, I'm going to skip the meal!" Got it!? "

"I'm sorry." I won't make any noise anymore. "

"I'm sorry."

Hmm, and Cellet slammed the two of them and closed the door violently.

From the other side of the door, a pity Sylvestria's voice came to their ears, saying, "It was almost good..."
