"Damn it, what was it?

There is no answer from the men falling around to the words of Sirtina, who murmured with the dust on his patties and clothes.

"I'll be there, Master Tedra. It was a little too conspicuous. Finish your buyout early and go back."

"Yes."

A man lined up with Sirtina and the others who scratched the gathered wild horses and walked out.

"Oh, welcome home, Al. So you see him?

"Oops. Good to see you."

The man lined up with Sirtina and the others, Sirtina smiled too if Alhardt nodded and gave it back.

"Yes. That's good. So? Who are those people?

"Farrah's taken away. I already cleaned it up."

"Fine then."

"That's it, Shirty. Farrah gave me a funny mon."

Saying so, it was a piece of paper that Alhardt offered Sirtina.

"What?"

"Farrah and the rest of the Knights, including the Secret Service guerrillas."

"As far as it goes. Finally, the kings have moved."

"Oh. Well, that was the move I expected. You were right to avoid people early so you could act."

"Right. It was also helpful to see the Secret Service guerrillas here."

"Um, what the hell are they talking about?

Tedra asks Sirtina and Alhardt as they move on.

"Yeah? Uh, right,"

"The king gave his life to all the knights. As soon as they find us, they'll take us back to the king's capital."

"Us?

"It's about us, especially me and Al, who are on a purification journey with the Virgin."

Unlike the cloudy Alhardt of words, Sirtina gave Tedra the paper she had received earlier from Alhardt without hesitation.

Alhardt blinked her eyes with surprise like that.

"Hey, Silty, are you okay?

"Yeah, that's enough."

"I see."

Without asking in any particular detail, Alhardt, who nodded at Sirtina's words, retrieves the paper from Tedra.

"Don't tell the Virgin or Prince. Because it's gonna be a pain in the ass."

"Ah, yes.... Um, don't you want to go back to Wang Du?

"Why do we need to go back?

"Huh? Because the royal life…………"

"We are not human beings in this country, so we are not obliged to obey the orders of the king of this country."

"This is a royal order to the Knights in the first place, and it's not like life is coming directly to us to return to the King's capital, so we don't have to put it into action when we find out" that kind of a royal order is going down. "

……

"Silty, you know what? That's what I call" rationality. "

"Oh. Still, you're not wrong, are you?

"Well. I know what you're gonna say when you get back."

"Eh?"

"Right."

"Um, do you know why the King wants us back to the king's capital?

"Then you'll see. If you know exactly what's going on in this country, it's easy for anyone to understand."

"The situation this country is in?

"Hey, Silty, can we talk about this? This guy, why don't you talk?

"Well, there's a chance you'll talk. Well, if he talks, he just doesn't have a choice."

If Tedra had accidentally drawn her face to Sirtina, who says with a nickel and a full grin, Alhardt nodded at her words and spoke all quickly.

"Right now, this country is in the middle of a war being waged by its neighbor, the Kingdom of Lulan."

"……… Huh?

"The demons have delayed the government of the country, the distrust of the people has recruited, and the lack of major military power is now the right time for this country to aim for the kingdom of Lulan, which has wanted and missed this country at the same time"

"... war? No, because such a reward..."

Tedra whispers.

"The King's government has decided not to talk to the people about the war against the Kingdom of Lulan, so you don't have to know."

"What? Why don't you say something? ………"

"Disbelief and dissatisfaction with the demons, the lag in state politics, and the royalty they recruit. The people will not be silent at last if, in that case, it is an invasion from another country. This country already doesn't have the power to deal with all of them. Therefore, the king made sure not to tell the people about the battle by putting up a great name that said," To keep the people from feeling extra anxious. "

"Aren't the people in danger then!?

"I don't care about that, the royal family of this country. But if we're safe, I'm sure we'll think of something."

"Oh no..."

"That's why you want to call us back immediately. And you want to hit your own escort."

"But the Kingdom of Lulan is a small country. No matter how tragic the current situation in this country is, if we can work out a strategy to deal with it properly…………"

"I can't."

Sirtina trumps Tedra's words.

Tedra asked her like that in a grumpy way.

"Why is that? The military might of the Lutheran kingdom wasn't there. If the Secret Service guerrilla squad, the nation's strongest unit, fights on the front line, isn't there enough to win?

"Secret Service guerrillas will not appear."

"Eh?"

"They were either captains or deputy captains... I mean, they only asked for orders from Familas Calanzato or Hein Mirberia. Now that they lack those two, they will not obey anyone else's orders. They're not going to fight this battle."

"Well, still, you wouldn't have lost in the force yet!? The opponent attacks from the sea. Then it would be more advantageous for this one to be able to deploy troops on land from the beginning!

"The Kingdom of Lulan employs about half the members of the Mercenary Guild" Twin Winged Sword "as its own military force."

"……… Huh?

"The battlefield would be the sea, but it would be land, but it would be the sky, but it's not a big deal."

"The Twin Winged Sword... So you've known from the beginning? Before this journey began, this country was targeted by the Kingdom of Lulan..."

"Yeah, that's right."

Tedra grabs onto her for Siltina's answer.

"I know and why did you keep quiet!? If I'd known earlier, there would have been a lot of hitters!!

"Why should I tell you?

"Huh!?

Sirtina, who grabbed her chest and returned it flatly, pays off Tedra's hand.

"We are guilds. You live in a world where the success rate of a request and trust from a client say things. Yet there's no easy way to divulge the request. In the first place, there's no reason why we have to."

……

"We are now in charge of escorting the Virgin in this country, but if I say so, that is all. It's none of our business whether other Alliance members are fulfilling a different request in the country where we are now. We're just doing our job."

"Oh no... then what..."

Alhardt clasped his shoulders at Tedra, who looked like he was on his way.

"What, second boy, you still don't get it?

"Eh?"

"Hey, Al."

"That's okay. You're gonna make me choose anyway, right? Then it's a little quicker, but it's not a problem."

"Yes, but... I just dressed up and said 'I have to choose then' or something..."

"Ha!! I'm sorry to hear that, Silty"

"Totally......"

"Now, second boy, it's time to make your choice."

Alhardt laughed when he said so.
