The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into another world.

Me and Celia were coming to Celik and Noir to ask about Lieutenant Cannon of the Fifth Squad.

Now that I'm done saying hello, I'm finally getting down to business.

"I'd like to ask you about Mr. Cannon, deputy captain of Unit Five."

"About Lieutenant Cannon?

"Oh, no, that's, uh, why again?

"Oh, I've got a lot to worry about..."

"Right... but..."

"Yes, it is..."

In my words, Selik and Noir became subtle faces.

I don't know, I don't feel like a very good reaction.

"What's going on? With such a delicate face..."

"No, actually, we don't really know Lieutenant Cannon either."

"Not sure?

"Yeah, you're a mysterious person. We don't know much, either."

"What...?

Apparently, Selik and Noir aren't familiar with Mr. Cannon either.

Is it something you don't know so much about when you say you're the deputy captain of your own squad?

"You're a deputy captain, and you don't know that much about it?

"Oh, in the first place, I haven't had a chance to deal with Deputy Canon..."

"Really?

"Lieutenant Cannon is basically in charge of paperwork, so hey. We don't have a chance."

Selik and Noir told me that.

Mr. Cannon seems to be someone who doesn't have much opportunity to deal with his men. I feel quite different from Sona, the deputy captain of Squad Four.

"The deputy captain has a lot of things..."

"Oh, I sure don't think you're like Mr. Sona. He's on a mission."

"Well, that's probably normal. There are places where the roles of deputy captain and captain are reversed."

"On the contrary?

"Oh, Captain Zagil is on the front line and Deputy Canon is in charge of paperwork. That's how the Fifth Squad does it..."

"I see..."

Previously, I found out that the Fifth Squad crew had no chance to deal with Mr. Cannon.

I just wonder if you still know something about it.

I'm in the same squad, so it shouldn't be weird to hear about something.

"Still, don't you know anything? Same squad, so you haven't heard any rumors or anything?

"Rumor... No, you've never heard of that either"

"Yeah, because you're a really mysterious person. Perhaps not many people know."

If you ask me that, they didn't react well.

Mr. Cannon doesn't seem to know anything about his own crew.

Is he such a mysterious person? This may give you little or nothing to investigate.

"... Slade, if you want to know about Deputy Canon, ask Captain Zagil"

"Huh?"

"Oh sure, Captain Zagil might know..."

"Captain Zagil...?

"Of the Fifth Squad, he's the one most involved with Lieutenant Cannon."

"I see..."

So, Selik has made such a suggestion.

Sure, if you're captain of Zagil Fifth, you might know Mr. Cannon.

But will you listen to me? It's a different team, and you'll be busy in the first place.

"Captain Zagil should be in the captain's office of Squad Five. Perhaps you'll listen to me."

"Huh? Is it that easy?

"Yeah, it's Captain Zagil..."

Guess that worries me, Selik tells me so.

Apparently, Captain Zagil will be listening to you on the outside.

"Okay. Both of you, thank you. I'll ask Captain Zagil."

"Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

That's not true.

"Well, good luck"

"Oh, sure."

Celia, come on.

"Yes, brother!

Selik and Noir put those words to us.

After responding to that word, me and Celia rush out. The next destination is for Captain Zagil.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia were in front of the captain's office with Captain Zagil Fifth.

"Okay......"

Once, take a deep breath, then knock on the door.

Unlike Faraes, he is usually an eye-catching person, so he is a little nervous.

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

Soon, I heard voices from inside.

I remember this because I heard it several times, but this is Captain Zagil's voice.

A few seconds later, the door opens and the iron masked knight appears.

"You kept me waiting...... hmm? Are you..."

"Oh, this is Slade from Squad Four."

"Likewise, Celia."

Seeing me and Celia, Captain Zagil raised his voice to wonder.

It would be a natural reaction because it would be weird for us in Squad Four to come to Captain Five.

In the meantime, I shall briefly tell you what to do.

"Today, I wanted to ask Captain Zagil V, and I'm here."

"What do you want to hear? Well, come inside."

When I said that, Captain Zagil invited me inside.

Me and Celia are slowly going inside the captain's office.

Inside, it feels no different than the captain's office in Faraes.

"You can sit there. So, what can I do for you?

"Actually, Cannon... I'd like to ask you about the deputy captain."

I sat down because I was prompted, and I visited Mr. Cannon.

Then, Captain Zagil puts his hand on his jaw and gives him a thought bare gesture.

"Hmm? You mean her. What the hell do you want to know?

"... I'd like to know why Lieutenant Cannon started avoiding Captain Faraes."

"... Hmm"

To my words, Captain Zagil nods slowly.

I don't know what that shows.

However, if you don't even know what it is, you shouldn't react like this to this question.

"... you know something, don't you?

"I know... it's not that. It's not like I don't know."

"Huh? What does that mean?

"Perhaps, but there was definitely a change in her. It's something I recognize, too."

Apparently, Captain Zagil knows about Mr. Cannon's change.

I just don't know what caused it. Does that mean things aren't much different from ours right now?

"When she became deputy captain, she was also active on the front line and also did chores. There would have been a lot of trust from the men in the squad."

"Really..."

"It's just that one time, just when Faraes became captain, I had to stop doing that."

"I have to stop... I have to?

"Oh, apparently, they're being invaded by the devil, making it harder to fight on the front lines"

"Huh?"

It was those words that were released from Captain Zagil's mouth.

No one knew Mr. Cannon was ill at all.

This is new information.

"From then on, she became in charge of administrative work. I mean, she started avoiding Faraes because of the disease."

"Are you ill... then surely..."

"No, but it's still uncomfortable. So if you're sick enough to avoid it, you can't even come to the Knights in the first place, can you?

"Oh, that's true..."

I thought that was the cause, but as Captain Zagil said, if you're seriously ill, you can't come to the Knights in the first place.

Does that matter, then?

"What the hell is this about? I don't know much about it either. Her behavior is uncomfortable. However, if you ask, you won't answer me..."

"Really..."

After all, even Captain Zagil doesn't seem to know.

I just got a new clue. Mr Cannon's illness, that must have something to do with the fact that we have come to avoid Faraes.

That's how Celia and I got a new lead.
