That day, I met Mr. Finn outside of school.
The otherworlds who helped me crusade Mantur were now in Spirale, the king's capital. Enjoy your thoughtful vacation and nourish your English each - but there were people who didn't have time.
The masked necromancer, Mr. Finn, was the latter.
"The Wang du is a lot busier, is this always the case?
"There's a martial arts tournament, and people and spectators are coming."
We were on the terrace of a snack bar overlooking the street. Not at mealtimes, there were fewer guests, but more people than usual, and the movement of people crossing the street was also lively. Travelers, warriors, mercenaries - and see what they look like.
Mr. Finn looks at them with his mask on.
"It's troublesome when a lot of people come from outside like this. It is also a great opportunity for intelligence agents, especially those working in intelligence gathering, to enter the Wang capital."
"... did you find out anything from Mentila?
Arly, the perpetrator of the kidnapping, the woman adventurer of a member of a VIP kidnapping group called Captain. Was he just a professional hired by Jarzy, or was he another person in some intelligence field? That changes how I treat it.
"To put it bluntly, she was a spy. It's from the Great Empire, too."
"... Oh, my God"
I looked up to heaven by accident. I didn't expect to hear the name of the Great Empire here.
"You mean the kidnapping of dignitaries is still combined with intelligence?
"Eat into the dark and it's easier to grasp bad rumors. If you can get a backstory from a powerful man, you can blackmail him."
"The king of the future has touched something extra."
And the captain that it's connected to the Great Empire. That's not good when the shadow of the empire is glistening. If there is a major disturbance in the kidnapping of dignitaries like this one, the disturbance will also become a gap between them.
"You can't leave it alone for this country any more than it has to do with the Great Empire"
Mr Finn said.
"No matter what measures we take, the influx of spies will not be prevented, but if we can crush the spy net today, it will have the effect of dampening the movement of the Great Empire. … just after we crushed the invaders in the north."
The Great Empire will want to know what its own forces, devastated in the north of the kingdom, were hit by. They will use the intelligence agents who let them infiltrate to get the facts, but if those that are lurking now are devastated, the Empire will need to send the intelligence agents out again. That will take some time to get fully operational.
Do it to me. Do it to Mr. Finn, I'm not serving the kingdom. Originally, it is a matter for the kingdom to manage.
"Well, it's a ridden hune"
I broke up.
"Though Jarzy originally invited me, if the people who kidnapped Early were connected to the Great Empire, I'd definitely need to thank you"
"I know the enemy Ajito and his constituents"
I snorted at the masked necromancer.
"When do we set it up?
"You'd be busy, wouldn't you? I'll take care of this."
Mr Finn said clerically.
"Of course, I'll drop by and let you know. Keep your focus on the princess and the tournament."
"... you seem to have made me pay attention"
I laugh unintentionally. Mr. Finn waved.
"I don't mind. If the Empire doesn't like it, it's not bitter."
Mr. Finn, besides himself, Liana and Yoo, say he's going to hit the captain crusade. Yo, you and Liana have already started an operation, and they're darkening a few intelligence agents.... those two, that's about it before breakfast.
"That's right, Jin. Don't you have to stay with the princess?
She's a royal castle.
I shrugged my shoulder deliberately.
Yes, it is. For the past two days or so, Early has been in the royal castle. Back in the Blue Lion Dormitory, he was immediately returned to his home, the castle. The Blue Lion Dormitory operates with a minimum of humans, as most of its attendants and maids, including Kingsguards, also go to the Royal Castle.... It's like a house dedicated to me.
"I guess it's because you told His Majesty the King about me. I don't know what it is, but you think Father Guard is working?"
The kind that says you can't do your daughter to a man who can't be any horsebone. He was plotting to even take his life for a time, but when he found the means to live longer as a daughter, the child seemed willing to protect him as a child. Mr. Bell, even though Lord Pyrenio may have successfully helped improve parent-child relations, fulfill...
"You've finally woken up to parent-child love."
"If you don't have to kill me, sometimes you can't kill me."
Mr. Finn was in pale shape.
"It's the real thing and the one in front of the building. Being king sometimes has to take precedence over personal feelings."
"... that's why I don't want to be in a responsible position"
For example, if I kill Early, I don't want to be in a position to force the country to make that choice. In a Japanese way, if you're in a responsible position, prioritize your surroundings over yourself, what a lot of opinions. If you're in that position, you get lost, and when you're out in the field, you ask people to sacrifice themselves. Oh, boy.
"So the princess is in the royal castle all the way to the tournament?
"From what I've heard, it looks like it will"
"Aren't you lonely?
"Well, it's not like you don't worry. I put a shapeshifter on the perimeter guard, and Mr. Bell's on all the time."
The demon king in that black cat's skin is in the royal castle with Early. It would be a bodyguard with no more.... I think it's convenient to look like a cat at a time like this.
"Besides, if I wanted to meet you, I could come and go via the portal."
Actually, good night and good morning greetings can be mutual. So I don't even feel so far apart.
"Seemed unnecessarily worried"
It looked like Mr. Finn laughed under the mask.
"We'll clean up the 'Captain' one. You focus on martial arts competitions."
With that said, Necromancer took a seat.... In the end, even though I was at a snack shop, I didn't even eat food or drink.
"I'm sorry. Please."
"I wish you a good fight at the tournament.... Oh, yeah"
On leaving, Mr. Finn stops.
"You may already know, but if you don't, I'll tell you what."
……
"Leele and Tomomi are going to the martial arts tournament."
"What...?
Um, I guess I heard wrong. I feel dizzy.
A belligerent warcraft swordsman and a magical fighter...... Are those guys joining us? Why would you do that?
No, it's not like I'm supposed to be in it, but in a tournament where I have to win, are those kids leaving?... Shh.
I heard Mr. Finn talk about Liana, Yo, you hunting for the captain, but speaking of which, the two remaining guys didn't even have a name. It's like volunteering originally, and there's no need to spend your spare time beating up martial arts competitions.
"Wow, seriously.... Wow."
I answered my voice unexpectedly. I really have to win...?
