The Queen’s Cosmetician

Bevel!

Fabian bursts into joy. His two companions were loosening their faces, and everyone in the Doppelgänger seemed to be acquainted with Bevel.

"Well, you have all the nostalgic faces."... is this your first time with me? Say hello to both of you again. My name is Bevel Osman. I am playing a face role in this area at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. "

After a light greeting with Fabian, Bebel lowers his head to the knights. He and Brenda met for the first time. Yubert and Randy, along with Die, know each other in Lesser Scandinavia. However, as far as their faces were concerned, it didn't seem immediately obvious.

Smile back to Brenda, who introduced himself, and spread the map that Bebel had on the table.

"As soon as possible, I will explain the situation between us and the king's city." Please listen while you drink. ”

Bevel said in a low, passing voice.

"The Chamber of Commerce and Industry has twenty people around me. Thirty men remain in this king's city, including their families. Everyone has lived here for a long time, or was born here. There are other residents besides us, but we don't know to what extent.... did you see the [Pillar of Light]?... the disappearance of people was seen in other regions, right?"

Yes.

Die replied on behalf of the party.

“As far as I know, I have received reports that they have been seen in various parts of my country, including my own.”

"Goodbye.... Shortly after it happened, everyone who survived hid in the house." Originally, there was a riot about His Majesty, so we only escaped after we escaped. We are working with merchants here to distribute supplies procured from outside the city. "

The capital of the kingdom of Perfilia has a bay port. It's a big port where even unsupplied ships can dock.

Due to the flow of tides, ships are not allowed to go offshore except for large ships. But if a small boat moves to convey the coastline, it depends on how it works.

And the dies were called unto the king's city by Bebel, disguised as the cargo.

I was told not to use the gate, so it breaks my bones.

“Don't use the gate? Is that from the Queen?"

Bebel shook her head sideways in response to Fabian's question.

"... from the people of the Church of Our Lady assembling in the capital of this kingdom."

Bevel says.

The [Pillar of Light] stood up, and the people disappeared, and the confused kingdom was silenced. People who wished to wake up from a nightmare hid themselves in their houses.

A few days later, there were those who knocked on their houses.

It was from the Church of Our Lady.

And they took hold of the hands of the trembling men, and whispered, as they handed out the wine and the noodles that they had carried in from the outside.

- It's all because of the bandits who nest on the throne of this country.

Let's crush the bandits with our hands.

The die moaned unexpectedly.

"... did you say that the [Pillar of Light] and the disappearance of people... were the fault of Lord Serenityti...?"

"Yes, sir."

Bevel supplements the description.

“At the same time, the church brought armed groups into the capital and closed the gates of the castle. We need to make sure we don't get disturbed by the forces that are pulling us up. There were a few soldiers in the capital... well, I don't know if they'll survive. The royal capital is the venue for the rally of those who did not fight Serenity before and those who were invited by them."

How many are there?

Daddyan asked. Bevel answers.

Thousands of total numbers.

"How many shepherds are there?"

“Hundreds of sheepdogs. The shepherd is sixty."

From the story, it can be seen that the armed group into which the sheepdogs were drawn, the leaders of the shepherds, came from the church.

Daddy frowned.

“There's a lot of them. How far is Bebel feeding?”

"Even the shepherd."

"... you've been stuck here a lot until today." I thought I was faster. You don't even have food. "

"We had a stockpile."

For the first time, disgust permeated the beveled tone of voice, which was merely a faint statement of the facts.

"It was -- the country was prepared for it, just in case."

Perfilia contested the throne of the queen, and burned her country. The rough country caused a great deal of starvation.

While the Yerni brothers, who Die knew, were aiming for a strong and rich country, they always assumed that the country would shake.

There may have been food, fresh water, firewood, and stone. If you divide them up, it's not strange if you have a stockpile that you can persevere through the winter.

Take it.

"I guess it's because it's taking a long time to break the royal castle's defenses."... but it will end today and tomorrow as well "

"I was almost there," said Bebel.

"It seems that all the gates were attacked in teams, but yesterday I heard that the main gate cracked. It will collapse today or tomorrow. It appears that what we brought in this time was a big deal. I'm not going to let you have a stockpile anymore."

"...... Is there no noticeable movement outside the King's City?"

Fabian asks.

I'm more concerned that the Perfilian soldiers aren't moving.

It's not moving. It's just besieging the capital.

Bebel turned to the die.

"That's all we can explain."

Bevel leaves the room to prepare meals, and is left behind by the original look on his face.

Fabian expressed his feelings with a brazen face.

"Entering the castle itself sounds tough..."

The die's goal is to protect the Yerni brothers.

However, they were in the castle, and hostile forces were hanging out in front of the gate of the intrusion route. We must get past them and convince the Yerni brothers in the name of the Continental Conference, protect them, and get out safely.

"The Perfilian army outside is a source of concern."

Grimoire said in a modest voice. He is a magnificent knight brought by Fabian.

"If you're not good... do you call yourself a rebel?" We will be involved in a conflagration between them in the capital of the kingdom and the Perfilian army outside. "

"We have to do something about our existence."

“No, you shouldn't do that.”

Die shook his head sideways in response to Yubert's opinion.

“I wonder why the Perfilian army remains still watching the king's movements in the city. If you want to save Serenity-sama... I feel like you're moving faster and faster."

Are you just looking at the plane? Is it moving inside? You'd better not move in a situation where you don't know anything, believing that you're on the same side from your head.

What should I do then?

Without thinking, the dies silenced the map that Bebel had left behind.

* giggle *, my belly chirped.

Die pressed his abdomen and raised his face. Everyone looked alike, not just the die. Everyone seemed to think their body was complaining of hunger.

The die laughed at everyone.

I'm so tired that I can't think of anything.

"Yeah, you should eat and sleep once."

Daddy asked Die to show his consent.

Can I rest?

"Fine. You're not going to turn your head." If you cross a dangerous bridge, it will be a fatal failure. Today or tomorrow, it's early noon because of the bevel. Late dawn tomorrow. Even if you eat and wash your body, you should be able to sleep for a while. "

“Okay, let's split up into two teams and get some rest.”

Mix the Del Ligeiria and Doppelgum pairs and separate them from the sleep side and the meal side.

The die bangs, snaps its hand, suggests it, and returns it to me.

"That's not what I'm saying on my own." Is that all right with Fabian and the others? "

“Of course, I think a refreshing one would be a good idea.”

Fabian smiles and adds.

"And you have the lead on this journey." I'm an assistant. "

The die unexpectedly raised the ceiling.

"... why am I the makeup artist doing this?"

I laughed at the blur of the die.

The Queen's life.

No, it's all up to me.

It should just be a little blurry.

Die let out a sigh in his chest as he walked down the corridor with Brenda after completing the meal, replenishment, and detailed checks.

Even before reaching the King's City, no, to be honest, it was tough enough to be forgiven again, but there are still challenges piling up. I want to knock myself out of the past because I seem to know the extent of this difficulty and I don't.

Fortunately, after entering the king's city, will you be able to rest under a solid roof sooner? The building where the Bevelers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry shelters the dies was attached to their offices and hosted travellers who had just arrived by boat from another continent. The corridor, which would have been full of people of various origins, is quiet. While incorporating the morning sunshine, Die suddenly remembered that Ditrault was on a tour here, looking sideways at the rows of thick windows that blocked the chill.

I heard that the place where he first exchanged private words with Bebel was indeed this chapel.

Die stopped breathlessly at the bevel, which appeared quite close to the direction of travel, because he was vaguely reflecting on such a thing.

Bevel, who was raising his hand to say hello, smiled bitterly at the state of the die and stopped his leg.

You look very tired.

"As long as you're embarrassed..."

If the die is not firm, Brenda will be burdened.

Die switched his mind and lowered his head to the bevel.

"Um, thank you again." Thank you for everything. "

Bevel must be chewing on the arrangements until the die gets to the King's City. Then he invited the die to the interior of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and arranged for his rest. Even the strong knights were exhausted. As Dadan pointed out, it would have been pretty dangerous if we hadn't rested here.

"No.... I'm sorry that I left you to your salvation, even though it's about our country."

The bevel of the unwrapped eyebrows was lowered.

"In fact, we should save them." However, we have received a request. "

"Please..."

"Protect the innocent."

Supplies were also sourced through Yerni's brother. They were among the local merchants to establish ties with. Maintain extraterritorial jurisdiction in the capital as a "country without borders" and let the weak escape when they have to.

― ― It won't come true for the Queen and the Chancellor, who have lost their trust.

Bebel said regretfully.

"I don't know if you remember."... at the Continental Conference, I said something rude about those people. "

I think there's something to be praised by Her Majesty and His Highness' brothers and sisters.

That's what Die knew about Bevel's Yerni brothers.

However, I have deep respect for those people and the voice of the bevels who call them.

Bevel's expression changed as the die looked for words to inherit.

--Alliga-sama, are you sure about this?

Asked to pull it out, the die looked back.

Brenda takes a step forward as she gets nervous about the die.

Bebel asks, glancing at her.

"... I can't ask you to step out of your seat."

I can't do that.

Die kicked his request.

If you asked me, I went east.

"It's the saintly woman who returned to the west with Daddyan."

The die frowned.

I remember a year ago, when Die wanted to return home from Perfilia, Ditraut contacted D'Adan via this man.

But I heard you didn't even tell me the name of the code you used in the letter.

"... you've alerted me." Excuse me. I thought your name might be a bit offensive. I have a message for you. Aliga-sama's name is on it. "

From whom?

From Lord Rowen.

- I know, I asked.

The die took out the [Silencing] stone from the hip compartment. Bevel asks, watching when the die lights it.

Do you mind if I talk to you?

Here you go.

"Don't come."

The die was stunned. To the Lord of Messages.

Oh, this is nonsense.

"--Sorry, I'm already here."

Bevel smiled at the die.

Bevel frowns with apologies.

"I was going to entrust it to Dadan who will welcome you, but I didn't get there in time."... you also have the option to wait for it all here. ”

Are you serious about that?

No.

Bebel shook his head to the side on the dice he had set up.

"I'm sorry for the rudeness."

"Really, if you're going to send such a stupid message, please give me more useful information." In other words, I wish they hadn't fallen into the royal castle. I'm talking about a captive princess waiting to be rescued. ”

"It sounds like a big joke."

"No, I was talking to everyone earlier." I am a makeup artist. Why are you bringing a knight to the middle of the battlefield? I feel like I'm being ridiculous. If you say don't come, come over here. Isn't that right? "

Aww, that idiot who doesn't seem to be going outside, you're going to pull and slap him instead and bring him in.

Not until my husband commands me.

It is decided to beat a hundred times without asking questions.

“Why did you come?”

"Strangely," Bebel said.

"Right now, in this country full of confused people, at the center of it, there is a literary, fragile, and unruly woman.... even if it was for your country, you could have pressed it against someone."

Perfilia is the backbone of the northern continent. That's why we decided to move to secure the Serenities without believing in the church's claims, but there is no rumor that a makeup artist with a low survival rate should be put in there.

In his second queen's election, Mariage described the existence of the die as a symbol of his reign. And yet, I sent him to a neighboring country called the Civil Unrest. He could be accused of abandoning the National Medal .

Yet Mariage commanded Die.

Because the die wanted it.

"... I've never been able to move in line with that person's wishes." I don't always engage, this time. "

Out of the man's mind, Dai did not fall in love with Mariage, and the distance between him was packed, and he went to the place where he was told not to come, and he did not take his hand when he was asked to exist.

If you're going to get their intentions, you're probably going to have to leave them alone.

They have no intention of destroying the motherland. Even if the dies do not reach out, the country is carrying a thread to survive.

But that's not synonymous with saving their lives.

"They might want to take full responsibility and end it."

I'm sure that's how I want to draw the curtain to hell.

"I don't like it."

I never begged Mariage to help Yerni's brother.

However, the Mariage instilled the Die's inspiration, twisted the reasoning to make it happen, and paved the way.

And he involved himself in the cause of his selfishness.

Come here. - Can you pull back?

You're a stubborn man, aren't you?

I told that person before.

Accepting Bebel's words as a compliment, Die laughed.

"Craftsmen are often stubborn."

Enter the open communal bath (garbage) with Brenda and Claire to remove the dirt. In addition to the mud, sweat and dirt, it was sticky with the sea breeze, so it refreshed a lot by just washing your body.

The room for sleeping was just a place with three bunk beds that lay side by side, but I was grateful that I could just sleep on the futon and cry.

As the die chose the lower bunk and lay down, Brenda, who was in the next bunk, asked hesitantly.

"What was the... message from before? Die"

The pursuit of the content of the story pushed down by the power stone is not praised. But I guess I couldn't help but ask.

Die pulled the blanket and answered another message that Bebel had brought.

“I was told not to use the road.”

Way? Which way?

Tell them not to come, but if they do,

He wants you to know that.

Bebel added, finishing the conversation with Die.

There was nothing specific in the additional message.

Die confessed to Brenda.

"I don't know..."

Didn't you tell me the details because you didn't want me to come? You didn't even have time to twist the code.

Or was it believed that that was all the die could tell?

(stupid)

Claire whispered to the silent die as Brenda sits on the opposite bed.

Die-sama, have a good night's rest.

"... both of you too"

Take a nap. If anything happens, it's even shorter.

The room facing west was dim. From the window I could see the ridge of the mountains that separated the country.

Speaking of which, Die thought that neither Alvina nor Yayoi had sent any demons.

What are the Mariages doing now?

Die's thoughts broke off there.
