We're back in King's Landing. While the zombie commotion calmed down and the Earlies returned to their daily routine, the otherworldly helpers used the secret passageway beneath the Blue Lion Dorm as their temporary residence.

Crusade a great magician named Foley Mantur. - I was going to lay low about Early's personal circumstances.

"Hey, it's Jin. That Early is a prince, isn't she?

Leele didn't tell me anything about it, but she broke it.

"... what makes you think that?

"I knew him, I was there. He's acting like a man, but he said she was really a woman. Much alike."

"Do you smell meth?

If Mr. Bell joked, the eyelid girl hung up the edge of her lips and said, "Well, that's the place." I wonder if it's a sniffing move as a warcraft swordsman.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't say anything else."

The other faces I was listening to.

"I'm not interested," Liana said. Finn, the Necromancer, also nodded in agreement. If you say, "I didn't ask," Yo, too.

"It's a very delicate problem for me."

Yo, the boy who looks like a girl, when you say it, it didn't sound like some other HR. When he was a child, he also seemed to have a hard mouth with his gender.

Now, the fact that we have everyone here is nothing more than an acknowledgement of the Mantur crusade.

The person most enthusiastic about killing the Great Mage is Mr. Finn, the Necromancer. Yo, you are also in favor of judging and disposing of that sorcerer as a risk factor. Mr. Bell also said he couldn't see the point in keeping him alive.

The helpers, the girls...

Copy that.

Liana didn't look like she had any doubts. Reele also glanced at him.

"I'm repeating a shitty magic experiment, you're a mad bastard, aren't you? I'm the most hated type in the world. Happy to smash it."

And finally, the high school girl, Tsuhara.

"It must be something someone has to do, an evil that you can't even leave alone. I can't say anything about not seeing him in person...... I'm happy to help you."

"That's enough, Tomomi. Mantle's bastard will be killed by someone other than you."

That's what Reele said and slapped him gently on the shoulder of the prairie.

"So, who's in command?... Gin, Mr. Bell, or Mr. Finn?

The female warrior in the eyelid looks around. If we're gonna throw a party, we need a leader. Even if they each possess a high ability, they cannot fully exert their power if their thoughts and directions do not come together.

My gaze gathers naturally at me. I snorted back at Mr. Finn the other day, telling him to do it.

"I'll take command."

All, there was no objection.

Eventually, Yo discovered the mantur azito you were exploring. Tracking down Kaios, the sorcerer's disciple, Shadow has identified and reported the home of the people.

"- Abandoned Castle Behind Ardenberd Canyon"

Spread the map of the Kingdom of Veriraldo on your desk. Ardenberd Valley...... quite a bit further northeast than Wang Du. If it was on foot, a few days course in a straight line. There's no straight path, so well, that would cost at least twice as much.... I use a car this way.

"Behind the canyon... do you want to build a castle like that?

Mr. Bell snorted. I lift one eyebrow.

"It's called an abandoned castle, so maybe it's from an old era."

For example, in the time of ancient civilization? Or before a topography called a canyon was formed - no, isn't it? How long ago was it, don't be. Well, there's not going to be a big problem just thinking about it here. The crux is that we know where the enemy base is.

"Then let's just go out. Everybody, get ready."

When I give the instructions, we all nod and turn our backs - to the magic armored car Dezelt.

"Big... this is the car?

If Leele speaks like she was impressed, Shinohara turns her gaze to Liana as she says, "Is it an armored car?"

The girl sergeant carrying the sniper gun touched Dezelt's armor.

"Not bad. I can't believe we're going to see combat vehicles here."

I'm going up the stairs with Mr. Bell.

"Where are you going, Jin?

"I have to tell Early I'm going out. You'll be free for a few days."

"Oh, I can't take all this off"

Even for the lady, Mr. Bell said.

Yes, exactly. Foley Mantur. Use his presence to help Early live a life without being targeted for his life. And for that, it's necessary.

Me and Belle visited Early's room in the Blue Lion Dorm.

I have an important business to attend to, leaving the dorm for a few days - when I told her, naturally, she asked what it was about.

"I can't tell you that"

My answer was settled.

"Extremely personal, yes, private"

The truth is, it has something to do with Early's future, but if I say that, at the end of the day, she'll try to get involved, by the way. So I won't tell you. Don't let Early worry about you. Because if anything happens to us on the Foley Mantle crusade, I don't want you to think it's your fault.

"If I go with you, can't I...?

Arly says as she sinks her heart and expression.... Isn't she her and feeling something? I thought, but I didn't dare touch that.

"Oh, don't be shy this time. Of course, you're not the only one. I'm not taking Sakilis, or Teacher Yuna, or even Marcus."

"Don't let us get involved. But the important thing..."

Early said, "Shut your mouth. Yes, I have already answered the question that will come up ahead. I can't tell you.

"I'll talk to you when this is done and settled."

I pasted a modest grin. From earlier, Mr. Bell, who was silently watching the interaction, also shook his neck up and down.

"Yes..."

Early grinned. It's not normal. A forced smile, like feeling something but not worrying about us.

"It's hard to send it out even though I don't know why... you know, come back, right? To me."

"Of course."

I answered and somehow guessed why Early would be so lonely.

"Hey, Early. Did you think me and Mr. Bell were gonna get out of here?

Mr. Bell saw me. Early bites her lips off. - Uh, did I?

"You're an idiot, you can't be. Don't worry, I'll be right back to you. Promise."

I pointed to the signal ring on my left hand with my right hand.

"If anything goes wrong, just let me know. 'Cause I'm gonna fly right in."

Tell him gently to reassure me, and I'll reach for Early's golden hair. Early is stroking my head like it's lit. She seemed to have tears in her eyes, wiping it with her own fingers. I laughed.

"I've heard it before, and I still say, 'Don't you want to be king?

"What, all of a sudden..."

Early spilled a grin like trouble. You didn't know what the sudden question meant, and after wandering your gaze a lot, you stare straight at me.

"If you can, I don't want to be king. That's the heart."

"Good."

Then I can storm it with no worries. For you. For the rest of your life.
