I have no idea what Ryan is thinking right now, but I only found out that his hands on this shoulder are very heavy.

"Um... Mr. Ryan?

"Can you answer the question?

Nooo, even though I smile, is that still what my eyes aren't laughing at?

"Oh, long."

"Tifa, shut up."

More eyes than those directed at me strike Tifa.

Seeing Ryan like that, everyone started a different story.

Some of my people haven't talked to me yet, but I don't think we're going to be able to move on unless we fix this.

"Mm, we used to talk"

"Ho, old story?

Oh? Ryan's eyes are completely back.

Could it be Ryan's guy... -

"Yes, a very long time ago"

I'm back in this era for the third time looking back.

But I did. This is a story that must be told to everyone.

Perhaps Ryan wanted me to talk about Tifa on the pretext that it was important.

Ryan started hearing this, because he was pulling a step back and closing his eyes quietly.

"Su, wow... Mr. Azley is the legendary jihadist paua"

As always, Adolph is making his eyes shine.

You got a tough face, and the rank is close to s, right?

That, too, all the silver.

What the hell is this all about?

Indeed, silver has very many talented members.

But is it something we can get to Rank S by now?

Everyone, unlike Adolf, seemed surprised not to open their mouths, but Ryan was still different.

"Tifa"

It's Tifa you should talk to, not me.

Oh, I see. Is that so?

"Yes."

"I trust Lord Azley. But Tifa. Don't visit a man's bedroom late at night."

"... ooh"

Tifa couldn't say anything just because she was so zero.

Ryan the boulder does things differently. It's like I'm distributing the haul of the story well.

"Sooner or later, Lord Azley might come to Tifa's bedroom."

"... huh?

I couldn't say anything just because I was zero.

"Yes!"

Tifa's eyes shine as bright as Adolf's.

Weird. What the hell is Ryan thinking?

Weird. No, they're all laughing because they're crazy. Except Mana and Chunhua.

Mana looked swollen and Chunhua looked like she had come up with something.

"The legendary jihadist paua? I see. Come on. You must be strong."

Blazer finally opened his mouth.

I thought you'd become even more silent in the last two years, but that doesn't seem like a reason.

"Can I be a nut too!?

The nut asks the sleepy fuyu with a full look of anticipation.

There have been a lot of things, and Fuyu is training herself. I guess I'm pretty tired of using space transfer magic on a night like this.

Lina's not here.

"... because I don't have the power of God... I don't know if I can"

Ryan, who sees Fuyu rubbing his eyes, glances at Rayna.

Raina nodded quietly and took him to the bedroom holding Fuyu's shoulder.

I think these two people's ability to communicate is definitely more than just me and Pooch.

"Kaka! Hold on, it's a pleasure to have Azley back! Are you going anywhere again soon?

"Oh, you're legalia next. We're leaving tomorrow at noon."

"Heh, well, we're gonna be based in Tweed for a while, too."

"But you thought about it. How dare you go to Twead?

Then everyone saw Tifa.

... I see, you mean Tifa's proposal.

Tifa, whose gaze was concentrated, leaned down and hid her reddened face.

"Ha. What are you doing in Legalia?

"Tell me if there's anything I can do to help!

Brutes listened and Reed followed suit.

"Hmmm.................."

I roared looking up at the ceiling.

Well, I suppose I can tell you, but what do you want me to tell you?

I can't help but wrap my words in this...

"To put it bluntly... kidnapping?

I was more silent around than I talked about legends.

Both Blazer and Ryan have their eyes round.

"Grab the warrior emperor Verse here."

Then he opened his mouth pompously, and he matched everyone around him but me.

I knew you would.

That's how it would react if I told you to grab the top of the country.

""... Pfft, hahahahahahahahahaha!

It was Brutes and Blazer, and Betty, who erupted.

"" Interesting!

Early silver members with more mouth alignment.

Hmm, it still seems widespread that the warrior emperor Verse is the puppet king. But these three have a lot of nerve, too.

... No, Ryan also looks like he's having a laugh.

"Well, don't call us when you get to Regalia."

That's what Brutes said, leaning against the chair and putting his arm around him, and Betty chuckled.

"The Three of Us Help"

"Well, that's very kind of you... okay?

I asked Blazer, but he just smiled and responded.

"Oh, man. Then so am I!

"Me too!

Reed and Adolph were the next ones to raise their names.

But it was Ryan who stopped it.

"Fast for you guys"

"Hey, what the hell!

Adolf's strong question.

"It's a battlefield only for those who thought it interesting to talk about Lord Azley."

Maybe Ryan's right, for sure.

These three and Ryan.

But Ryan is a silver deputy leader. If Blazer leaves, Ryan has to put together a team called Silver.

Blazer volunteered because Ryan was there, and Ryan dominated the scene because of his trust in Blazer and accepted the compiler.

I know you really want to go, too.

Reed and Adolph shut up about Ryan saying that. Their guts are a big deal too, but maybe they didn't know where to use them yet.

Maybe it's only a matter of time before they come out on the front lines.

Holy shit, I can't lose this one either...!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Then we talked late at night and laughed at each other.

As usual, the feast was curtained down by the fact that the nut, which had always been tense, fell asleep like a puffy cut.

The next day, me and Pochi had been out of Azito before leaving, watched by all the silver, Lina, Fuyu and Irene.

"It's Mr. Betty -!

"Hahaha, Porch! You look good!

"Ha ha, you're no different!

Betty, Brutes, and naturally Porch are showing joy in reuniting with everyone.

"... you're strong"

Brutes was really serious.

Everyone will be aware of that. But the joy was stronger than that. Maybe.

"Good luck, Mr. Azley! I'll do my best, too!

"Lina, you have to be careful."

"Yes!"

Lina looking straight at me with her grown eyes.

And I next saw Ballard and Konoha riding that head.

"Azley."

I put my neck forward and Ballard sweetened in my hand.

"Lina, please."

"Isn't it the other way around? Kid (,,)?"

Konoha called me to imitate Gaston.

Even with the obvious age difference, I didn't feel strange and disgusted.

Konoha inherited it from Gaston, because it sounded like trust in me. Yes, on the contrary, I was delighted.

"Strong will at times of need. And I believe it will guide us."

Konoha laughs.

Maybe that's because I saw Gaston in the back of Konoha.

Konoha put tears in her eyes and laughed, however, never to zero.

"Leave it to me."

I nodded to Konoha, then headed towards Fuyu.

"Nice to meet you, Platinum."

"Brrrrrrrrrrrr"

As Fuyu told me, a rare example of a user demon piercing his dignity as an animal.

I received the lowered head as permission and stroked one of the platinum heads.

And I looked up at the fuyu across the platinum, and I laughed dull.

"You're a good friend."

"Yes, he's an important friend!

It's okay. I knew Fuyu had to be unspoken.

What I meant when I said "friend" instead of "demon".

Was this Gaston's teaching or Lina's presence significant? Or is it the qualities of Fuyu?

Hmm, maybe it's Sagan's feat. Well, all of it. All of it.

"Fuyu, be careful."

"Mr. Azley, good luck...!

"Ha ha, because Mr. Warren taught me a lot. Always try not to forget everything."

Fuyu chuckled and gave me a happy look.

Warren has chosen a relatively safe place because Fuyu runs on the ground with Platinum. With a platinum speed called star hose, it wouldn't be that dangerous.

... so don't worry a little about Lina.

"Be careful and come."

"Yes, please don't force Mr. Eileen either"

"Well, if I can't do it, I won't be able to get all these rough people together."

"Ha ha, that's true"

"Okay? I don't mind failing at worst. It would only help to make people realize that there are enough people on this side to break into Legalia Castle. Your life is your top priority. Don't waste it."

Irene turned away and said so, but that face, I'm sure, makes me wonder if she looks embarrassed.

I appreciate your concern, but this mission will have to be a success.

"Then I'll go"

"Gentlemen, I'll be right back!

That's what Porch says and rides the Spatial Transfer Magic Formation.

When each of us sent word of drop-off, Porch moved away.

You go to my room in Bailanaea once, and you go north from there to Regalia.

I heard it was still a mountain close to Twead.

When I get on the Space Transfer Magic Formation, Warren steps forward and opens his mouth.

"... make you a ball (sometimes). Azley, I believe you still have your heights. Please be careful."

"Thank you"

I bowed my head and took Warren's, and everyone's, words of encouragement and moved on.

"... Well, what?

When I got to my room at the Pochizzery store, I tilted my neck when I saw the back of the trembling Pochi I was in the front.

"Mom, Mom, Mom, Master! I'm scared! I don't want to go!

"How cool are you!

"It's too comforting to just be me and my master!

"You said the three of us in silver would help!

"But! The most dangerous role is up to us!

Nooo, I don't know what Pooch said.

I mean, it's amazing that you noticed right there.

After that Demon King fight, isn't Porch growing up pretty good, too?

"I'm hungrier than that!

And the stomach.

I sighed and said to Porch, "Well, wait," then I started a cosmic diagram.

"Heh? What happened to opening the store room?

I told Porch as I stuck my torso in the storeroom.

"Hey, I need some powerful help..."

"... oh, maybe!

It was the great crystal of man that took it out.

And a legendary jihadist who is unfamiliar with it even as he sees it.

"Li, it's Mr. Lilia -!

"I feel like I can solve this bond right now."
