Gilbert once again joined the Magic Knights of the Exercise Ground.Within half an hour, everyone except those on duty were gathered and called.Gilbert looked around and grasped the situation.The total number of magical knights the country has is about fifty.Nearly two thirds of us are here now.Considering that there are people who are sending them to Eratos to demonstrate the aftertreatment of the war and friendly relations, and those who are on missions that are so modest, it is a reasonable number.

"This time, multiple dragon species have been confirmed with different attributes.The total number is seven, and I will send eighteen in the morning. "

In the words of His Majesty the King's brother, who served as chief of the Knights, the scene was noisy.Gilbert didn't speak up either, but he was surprised.

Seven dragons without herds occur simultaneously, which is unlikely.I wonder if someone who can use magic induced it or if something happened to the dragon side.Then, it is convincing to the slightly too many people that even if two people hit each of the seven dragon species, there will be four people left.To cope with unforeseen situations.

Raise your hand if you think I am.

There were only three people who raised their hands immediately.Being a Magic Knight and having met the Beast so far, I can see that everyone understands the dangers of this mission.The three are said to be particularly confident in their arms among the Magic Knights.Those who are reluctant now will also raise their hands at the end, so it would be better to raise them quickly, but many who still do not do so will be pressed silently.Of course, no one wants to go to a place where their lives are in danger, such as a dragon.

Everyone here knows that Gilbert's wedding reception is coming soon.And this is nothing to be proud of, and the difficulty of the mission will change dramatically depending on whether Gilbert goes to the field or not.Even Gilbert, who is usually actively involved in these high-risk missions, is likely to have to be nominated for this tournament.And in the Knights of Magic, nominations are made only when there are not enough people.This means that many people are reluctant to participate if Gilbert doesn't want to go.

Gilbert's feelings are determined when he talks to Arbel.When I left the mansion, I was ready to vacate the house for a while.Be sure to write to Sofia before you leave.

Gilbert quietly raises his right hand, pretending not to see some gaze at him.As I was waiting for it, several hands began to rise one after the other.

◇ ◇ ◇

Hans wrinkled between his eyebrows when he hurried to report that the hair clasp that Sofia gave her to the doctor was gone.

"Is it a magic instrument hair fastener?"

"Yes, I received it before, but I couldn't use it because it affects my magic."

"So, do you remember... when it disappeared in the raffle?"

"No, I always kept it in a place I couldn't open.I'm sorry... I was told to leave it with a trusted servant. "

"That's because you don't have to rely on yourself for how often you use it.Then we certainly don't need to keep it.Never mind. "

Hans said so and put his eyes down.Then try to think of something silently for a while and raise your face.The eyes were turned towards the side of Carina.

"─ ─ Carina, have the keys to the costume room changed since then?"

"Yes, I check every time, but I've never been in motion"

Hans nodded loudly as he was convinced.

Probably the same killer.

Sophia shook her shoulders and exhaled slowly.I felt a little relieved.If that's the case, it's only recently, so I may not have used it yet.Even if I have used it, it is only a few days.The side effects don't seem to be a problem.

Sofia and Hans met and smiled slightly.Hans glanced at it in surprise and corrected his posture.Then he opened his mouth to dispel his doubts.

"Ma'am, this is a suggestion from me - why don't you set a trap?"

"Is it a trap?"

Sofia turned her head to the sudden suggestion.

"Yes, I dare to leave my room unprotected and make it accessible to everyone.Nothing of particular value has ever been stolen or damaged, so I'm sure you'll come to your wife's room again.... the magic equipment will shoot you, so you won't have to hold the scene.I don't want to do this in the first place, but it's true that my hair clips are still stolen. "

I want the magic instrument to record it and have it returned to the killer later.That will ensure the safety of Sofia and Carina, as well as their preparedness.All I'm worried about is Hans and the Marquis guards.

Still, Sofia knew she had to.Waiting for Gilbert to come home, I'm worried about the side effects of hair retention.

"... okay."

Sofia lowered her eyebrows and nodded, and Hans smiled kindly.

"It's all right. Let's get rid of it right away and welcome Milord without worrying."

"Yes, I'm angry at you for leaving me alone.Let's refresh it! "

"Yes, thank you very much....!"

Sophia, whose way of speaking was too refreshing and interesting, naturally smiled, agreed with a firm intention to make the reception a success.
