After leaving the sunny country, Dagrio, I, Leah and Rose arrived at the Holy Knights Association in Orrest, swinging for two hours on a small plane.

"... I don't feel like it's been a long time."

"Hey, yes."

"Um, it was so hard ..."

Actually, I was in Daglio for a very short time ...

Since I spent so much time, I felt a little nostalgic for Arest.

"Now, let's go to Mr. Crown for the time being."

"Well, I have to listen to the details."

"Oh, that's right."

Yes.

I have to talk a little with Crown about this overseas trip.

He said that Dagriot was a relatively calm place and not bad for his first expedition.

(But it was a red lie ...)

Daglio is a bee-fighting conflict zone, effectively controlled by black organizations.

That was the very day we were sent to challenge the oracle thirteen knight Rain-Grad.

Mr. Crown, the director of the Arest branch, will not know this fact.

(Perhaps I had some idea ...)

Anyway, you need to listen to the story once.

We got off the plane and went straight to the landing site of the Holy Knights Association Arest branch-heading to the branch chief's office.

We talked at the reception and arrived in front of the branch office.

When I knocked on the door after I coughed one,

"Please."

And Crown returned a light reply.

"--Excuse me"

Speaking of that, when you open the door slowly, there will be-

"Thank you, everyone!"

With Nihera and the gentle smiling Crown,

"Oh, Allen-kun. It's been a long time."

The final closing of "Kitunekin Yu"-Rize-Dorahain was there.

"Rise, Rize !?"

"Rize-Dorahain ...!?"

"Che," Blood Fox "...?!?"

We opened our eyes wide to an unexpected person.

"Huh, you've heard that you're doing something amazing?

Mr. Perize said so and smiled with a very gentle expression.

Apparently you have heard about one of the Dagriot cases.

"Oh, thank you ... but why is Rize here?"

This is the Holy Knights Association.

She should be a place that doesn't have much to do with her, one of the Gogosho.

"Oh, I'm familiar with the crown in the past. I sometimes come here to play."

"Ahaha, I'll leave Rize to take care of you!"

"I see, was that so?"

world is small.

There is a horizontal connection in an unexpected place.

After a simple greeting,

“――By the way, Mr. Crown. I ’m talking a bit, is that OK?”

I immediately decided to go to the main subject.

"Oh, uh .... That's right ....."

He smiled bitterly while scratching his cheeks.

It seems that he sent us after knowing about the current state of Daglio.

Then

"I'm really sorry about that."

Crown took a hat and bowed deeply.

I can't see the usual playful attitude.

It was an apology that was firm and sincere.

"Oh, please raise your head, Mr. Crown!"

"Kee, you suddenly became serious ..."

"... was it inevitable?"

We were a little surprised at the size of the gap.

"As Rose said, there was a difficult situation here as well. You may hear the excuse, but ... could you hear me a little bit?"

"Yes, of course"

Then we heard the story of Mr. Crown.

"--First of all, let's start with the conclusion. This time I sent Allen-san to Dagriot on the day of the decisive battle to help Ben and the Senior Holy Knight."

"To help Ben ...?"

"Yes. The Holy Knights Association headquarters (top) underestimated the oracle thirteen knight Rein-Grad. He was terribly strong .... Ben is not the best holy knight. If you really want to fight Rain, you should move the Seven Holy Swords. "

Seven Holy Swords …… A collective term for “the strongest seven swordsmen of mankind” that the Holy Knight is proud of.

"Once, I'm in sync with Ben ... I can't really kill him. After the date of" Decisive Battle "was decided, I submitted my opinion many times over ―― "I'm not strong enough." But my head is really hard.

Crown shook his shoulders.

"She was slamming up like that ... I was relegated just the other day. I was blown away from headquarters to a branch manager here, and I'm at a loss for my position, power and power. ---- Allen-san came. "

He spoke to the glass on the desk and continued talking.

"Actually, I knew you for a long time. Whatever (...) Rize was excitedly saying," I found this amazing! " I was there. "

Looking at Mr. Perize, she shook her hand with a gentle smile.

"And then, in order to fulfill this miraculous opportunity-without telling Allen, I sent him out to Daglio. At the Sword King Festival, I defeated" Kindling "and seized that Rize's heart If you are, I'm sure you'll be fighting Rain-Glad.

As you can see, Crown seems to have had various conflicts.

"As a result: thanks to Allen, the Ben and the Holy Knights were able to return home without a single death. Fighting and healing in Lao village, defeating Rain alone, Red Drop Interception-It has been reported that it was a tremendous success. Thank you very much. "

Mr. Crown concluded the talk,

"I can't offer anything to deceive you.-I'm sorry."

Finally, I again made a sincere apology with sincerity.

"... I understand the situation."

We trusted and sent us out to help Ben.

If you say so, you have to convince.

Peria and Rose looked sideways, and they nodded with a click.

Apparently it seems like me.

"-Mr. Crown. I'm going to flush everything in this case. But should you consult us in advance?"

"……Thank you"

He said so and bowed deeply.

And

"And ... I'm sorry, could you please ask me one request?"

Mr. Crown cut out the story, saying that he was scared.

"Please ...?"

"Yes ... Is it possible to ask about the overseas expedition to Daglio without any other words? Of course also Mr. Leia, the chairman"

"It's ... why?"

"What do you mean ... It's not very good for" institutional "things to appear like" this case "..."

"On the system ...? Oh, is that something ...?"

The only system he cuts out here is that-the special trainee system.

The system we used was newly established this year, and its purpose is to keep excellent students.

However, if rumors such as “Special trainees are sent to dangerous conflict areas” spread this time, the number of volunteers will decrease significantly.

In that case, the system itself could break down, and in the worst case, "students leave the Holy Knight".

Crown seems to be afraid of that.

"Before you do that, it's very difficult to ask for ...

Crown said so and bowed again.

…… I ca n’t help but ask so much.

First of all, if we kept one of the Dagriots secret, there wouldn't be any big problems.

Pia is an unusual one.

Such a situation cannot happen in the future.

"Huh ... I understand."

Then when I accept,

"――As expected, Allen-san is the man who understands the story! It really helps!"

Mr. Crown returned to his usual playful tone.

…… This person smells scattered somewhere.

"Let's see Lear and Rose! I guess you can't ask for it without saying anything else because Allen says this!"

That's why he asked his hands together.

"Well ... Allen is really sweet ..."

"Um .... I have to say that I agree."

Peria and Rose sighed together, promising not to talk about Dagriot's case.

After we had finished talking with Mr. Crown, we left the branch office and headed to the dormitory at Chiba Gakuin.
