In a few minutes.

Leaze came to the roof of the venue with Ixios and McGregor.

A soldier picks up a cloth bag from Alond's face and returns to the staircase.

"Oh dear, I managed not to get killed." Thanks to Master Leaze for coming. "

Aaron turns his smile to Leaze.

“Nevertheless, I was surprised that the allies had made peace with Barber. May I ask you how it happened?"

“Before I do that, I want to ask you something.”

Leaze turned her grim face toward Alond.

"Why did you disappear without telling your father anything?"

"That's because of my father's rebellion."

Alond answered with a soft expression.

"As you know, my father Nord has been connected to Barber for many years. He ordered me to go with him to Barber, but I couldn't do much to betray the House of Steyr.”

"So, you were moving to infiltrate Balvair to our advantage?"

"Yes, and if I had obeyed my father, Barber would have continued to be called a coward who betrayed his country. I can't stand such dishonor."

“Then why didn't you report Nol's betrayal in advance?”

"Because the crime of conspiracy in our country is a conspiracy system." Even if you report it, if it's good and secluded, if it's bad, you'll be executed. Then I decided to bet on it. ”

Leaze's face frowned as she spoke to Alond.

“So you should have reported Norm's betrayal in a letter or something before you disappeared?”

“I thought about it, but if I let my father get away with it, he would have thought that the source of the information was me or Haber. I thought if I did, I'd miss the chance to take down my father.”

"... so you were going to kill Nol when you met him in Barber?"

“I was going to persuade you, but if you didn't understand, I was going to.”

"That's a painful excuse."

Then Ixios, who was silently listening, opened his mouth.

"You were supposed to meet Nore in the western forest of Isteria, right?" Didn't Nord think you'd betray him because he didn't show up there? "

"Master Ixios, that's not true." I told my father I was going to Gregorian territory first. "

"Huh? He didn't say that."

Ixios looks at Alond with sharp eyes.

Nol was murdered in the woods, so I haven't been able to find out anything.

This is Iksios' improvised bluff.

"Nord said he was going to join you in the woods, but didn't show up. Tell me what you mean."

"... my father is dead, isn't he?"

Arrondo's expression clouds.

In fact, he was now informed of Nolle's death by the late Praetor Voras, whose face everyone could see was “just now known”.

"No, it's not. Nord is confined to the isterias." If Barber's people are telling me you're dead, it's false information that we sent. ”

"It can't be that. I did tell my father, and then I went to Gregorian territory.”

Alond looked at Ixios with a serious expression.

“If my father was alive and he gave me all the information, Ixios would have no reason to ask me such a question.”

Hmm. Well, there's a lot of slurping and lies coming out of it.

"Alondo, what you're saying sounds logical at first glance, but it's full of holes."

McGregor followed Ixios.

What do you mean?

“If you're going to betray Barber from Hannah, why did you bring out the blueprints for the water wheel, the mill, and so on? There is no need to dare give them information that is detrimental to our country."

“That's because I really needed blueprints to earn their trust.”

“I don't think so. According to Nord, they knew you were going to exile in Balbert. You don't have to dare give me the blueprints, do you?"

“Their impressions change dramatically between exile in karate (and from there) and souvenirs of high-value information. We had to dive into their core and gain absolute trust.”

"... Alondo, answer honestly. Which blueprints did you give them?”

Leaze asks Alond.

"There are three types of presses: taro, mill, and screw press."

"Why did you give me only those three?"

“There are two reasons, and one is because it's not easy to divert militarily. The other reason is that they were already machines that they could have been informed about. The mill would have greatly improved Barber's finances, but I needed it to get my credit.”

"You brought out other blueprints, didn't you?" What's wrong with them? ”

"The ore crusher and harness blueprints were immediately incinerated after being taken out. It was of tremendous military value.”

Why did you steal it?

“I needed to deceive Arcadia, too. If Lord Nelson decides that important blueprints have been stolen and betrayed, he will look for me with blood in his eyes. If someone in Balbert tells them the truth, it will clear up my suspicion that I am an agent of Arcadia.”

However, he and Allondo continue.

"When I heard that the fort along the border had fallen, I was quite impatient, to be honest. Moreover, General Kylen brought here the actual goods of the water wheel, the mill and the unloading device that he had caught in the fort.”

Allende talks about the first time she met Kylen in the Capitol.

"It was completely unexpected that the fort would be ambushed and fall in just one day. I think that the situation will completely lean towards Barber before I execute my plan, and I put too much effort into the internal affairs business to perfect the trust of the lawmakers before going to the barbarian realm... As a result, the internal affairs situation of Barber has become too good."

"I see..."

Leaze thought for a moment about Alond, who replied nervously.

Ask Kylen later if what he says is true.

Allende should know that, so what you're saying is true.

Or some lies mixed together.

--For the time being, there's no contradiction. But you're lying that you didn't know Nol was dead. It was made to move my eyes.

Yes, Leaze thought about it and decided to listen to what she thought she would hear when she met Alund.

I see. I'm satisfied.

Leaze smiled with a hard expression, and Alond's face was relieved.

But just two more questions, please.

Yes, what can I do for you?

“Why did you imitate Valletta?”

Leaze said, and Alond's eyebrows moved slightly.

"I've been told by Valletta that you've been pretty persistent. By then, you were already on your way to exile in Barber. Why do you imitate me like that?"

"...... you've come."

Alond sighed and scratched his head.

Seeing that, Leaze's face turned weird, and Alonde turned back to her posture, “Excuse me.”

"I'm sure you'll be shocked..."

"Answer me."

Leaze, who said it was piercing, gave up on Alond.

“When I first started working with her, I knew she wasn't in Balvair's hands.”

"... hah?"

Alond smiled bitterly at Leaze, who was frightened.

“Think about it. Since she came to Isteria, a large number of machines and tools have been created that I have never seen before. In the same way that I did, I thought I was not the one sent to dive into the heart of the Isteel Realm.”

“In order to gain credibility, Barber dared to probe our inside information until he could teach us how to build a variety of machines?”

"I also thought that the possibility was not zero. I wondered if if she was in Barber's hands, if someone in my position were to speak to her, she would come for information.”

"But you refused, didn't you?" But why did you persist in your dictation? "

As Leaze pointed out, Alond had a bad look on his face.

"Um... I thought that she would stick with Lord K'Zla because if she captured Lord K'Zla, who is a key figure in K'Zla 'atz, she would be in Arcadia and have access to information about K'Zla 'atz."

Arundo speaks as he chooses his words.

"However, Master Kazura has a charming fiancé named Leaze, and it is impossible to think of a strategy." So, if I understood that, I thought that I might switch to someone who was deeply involved with the Gregorian realm, but I was... regrettable. "

”I-It's not my engagement... I'm sorry?”

Inadvertently, Leaze squeezed her cheeks tightly and asked again.

It's embarrassing, but I fell in love with her in the middle of the night.

Alond laughs shyly.

“As I was exploring, the suspicion that she was an operative was almost clear from her conversation. However, I was so clearly rejected that I got blood on my head."

"In other words, Valletta was half known to be Shiro, but she was lobbying with her feelings?" Because I was shaken perfectly and my pride was hurt? "

"It wasn't all personal... but it was the first time that a woman had refused me so much."

"Why did you make a fool of Cuzla?"

“I checked her reaction. As a result, he was so furious that he was crying, at which point his suspicions were completely cleared.”

"... that's why you fooled Kuzra and made Valletta cry?"

Leaze shakes her fist and pulls.

Arundo didn't notice it and scratched his head shyly.

"Yes, I'm really sorry to her!?"

Leaze's bodyblow struck directly into Alond's belly before Alond could finish.

Leaze squeezed him with the shape of Shura, holding his stomach and drooling from his mouth with his knees on the ground.

Ixios and McGregor were stunned by the sudden event.

Leaze grabbed Alond's hair on one knee and raised her face.

Close your face to a few centimeters.

"I know why, but I can't forgive you for making a fool of Cuzla and hurting Valletta. Think of it as punishment."

"Gu... yo, I know!?"

Before Alond could answer, Leaze's intense headbutt exploded on his forehead.

Alound blew up and fell, suppressing his forehead and belly and stunning him.

If I really did, I would definitely kill them, so the headbutt and bodyblows were pretty easy.

His jacket peeled on the beat and his pants belt peered.

Leaze had a strange face when she saw something glittering in the gap between her belts.

"... that was my fault." Later, get one shot from Valletta, Eila and your mother. Got it? "

"Ahhhhhh......"

"Hey, hey, my forehead is torn." Are you all right? "

"Master Leaze, don't overdo anything..."

Ixios and McGregor walked up to Alond, who moaned as he bled from his forehead.

"Even so, I restrained myself." If it's true, I'd like to cut off a thousand fingers. "

Leaze stood up and, uh, snorted.

"McGregor, unbuckle his pants."

"Huh?... well, can't you cut this thing off?"

"I won't do that." Well, I guess I could. Come on, hurry up. "

Leaze instructed McGregor to keep her cold expression on her face.

McGregor was puzzled, but put his hand on Alond's pants belt.

"What the hell... is this?"

McGregor found a small knife in the belt and took it out.

It's a knife. I see, I can read it.

Ixios, who was looking at it, frowned and turned his sharp eyes to Alond.

"Alond, you were going to use this to kill the chief's daughter in front of the senators, weren't you? Did you say" Uzuna "?"

In response to the words of Ixios, Alond looked up at him with his forehead and belly held down.

“If it hadn't been for us, we wouldn't have earned the trust of the lawmakers. You were going to kill your daughter there and prove that you weren't a savage?"

"Gu...... here's your insight"

Somehow he stood up and replied flutteringly.

Leaze's expression was clearly unpleasant.

McGregor had a steep face, too.

“She looked like she trusted you, to me. Were you going to kill her like that?"

"No, I was supposed to be accompanied by the Warlord, but I told her that she would accompany me, and she followed me." However, I was able to see Master Leaze and didn't kill her. "

"You can often kill a woman who trusts you and is in favor of you." Besides, if you do that, your valet will be killed. You trusted me and followed me this far, didn't you? "

“If you think about priorities, you can't help it. If we are to achieve our priorities, we have no choice but to abandon them.”

Arondo said the same thing as Haber with a naturally similar expression.

After all, Leaze sighed.
