The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge
168 As Thought
The brave man flies out between the sights and the masked swordsman, who has been ordered to pursue the priest Soma, immediately follows.
I had a faint feeling this would happen as the nobles wandered into unexpected events.
From the time he offered me a glimpse and asked for the presence of the brave man, I knew what he was after.
You can say that there is zero chance that Paradi will wage war against the Kingdom of Deltirade or Stiges.
Since the country was Xing (Oko), there have been several war-torn storms on this continent.
But Paradise has never participated in a war.
Not once since the first brave men set up their country.
(An eternal neutral nation not dictated by thoughts, races, or national thoughts. That's why the Empireo Church is gathering faith across the continent through the walls of nations and races)
Until we abandoned that credibility, it was hard to think about securing Mr. Beart's stature, regardless.
I'm sure he'll come up with something.
"Come on, Sire Perne, and Sire Stra. The brave man has taken away his treasure and has taken Master Beat. This is important."
"... you want us to help you capture her?
"No, not at all. She is a benefactor of the Redemption for you, it is at our convenience that she is forced to do such a thing... Besides, in front of her, she won't be stopped for gathering all the power in both countries."
To Mr. Stra's words, he smiles back.
When Koto is carrying it as he thinks it, he smiles at Kaishin.
"This is a Paradise issue. Our Paradise, a perennially neutral nation, the problem of our own country is a fluent to solve within our own."
"I mean, Master Soma, here's what you want to say to us. He said don't do anything about it."
"That's right, Sire Perne, we're talking fast!
Affirmative, is it?
After all, the aim of the cleric Soma is twofold.
One is to gain a great name for killing the brave.
And the other is the isolation of the brave.
Even the brave men who had the mighty power said that if they lost the back shield of their country and became alone, there was no way to kill them.
But this is what the brave man wanted.
"Both Deltirade and Stige have no use for any future help on this matter! Is that good?
If you refuse, you won't even quit exercising your powers, which is a darkly mundane mouthpiece.
Even if you can't conduct a major military operation, you can do as much as you want, such as assassinating or instigating a rebellion.
The presence of Yonggi Ball (Gift Sphere) is also fumbled and is a substantial threat.
"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. My country will not interfere until this matter is resolved."
"Hey perne......!
"Mr. Stra. What is your top priority?
"Ugh..."
It may be said that it is thin, but as queen, the highest priority should be the safety of our own people.
Now that the war is over and peace is back, we can't let the commotion sprout.
Even I regret it.
I feel sorry for my helplessness.
But this is the only choice I have to make as a queen.
You would understand...?
"... Phew. I get it. Stige will not interfere in any way either."
Fist into a gnaw, then exhale gently.
Stra, who has become the queen's face, responds to Soma.
Mr. Stra is a brave man and a friend enough to say.
It would be hard, even this me got annoyed but it was going to boil back, but I tolerated it well.
"You're both really smart (groaning). The future of Deltirade and Stige is bright. Now let's continue our good relationship with Paradise."
Deeply and deeply bowing his head, with only superficial courtesy, the cleric Soma followed during his gaze.
You think everything is what you think it is.
"Hey perne...... You didn't have any other hands? I regret it..."
"Mr. Stra, okay? If you don't find out, it's the same thing you're not helping."
"... to?
With a sneak ear to me, Mr. Stra made a cute, missing voice between them.

Jumping out between sights, I run through the castle with Beat and a lost toca.
The chaser is just one masked swordsman named Ares.
The soldiers of the castle turn to my enemies, or nothing.
Hide in the shadow of the stairs leading up to the upper floor to see what's going on around you.
Make sure the enemy hasn't come after you and gently lower Beat.
"... Huh?
"Yeah, we need to wake up the Toka first"
I'd like to hear more about it.
I want you to run yourself if you can move, but I don't think you can.
That Ares is not just him.
Running off on Toka's feet seems a little tricky.
Lower the toca over the sides and flap your cheeks a few times.
"Look, wake up, come on, it's an emergency."
Pepper, pepper, pepper.
"... uhhh, uhh, it hurts, it hurts..."
"Okay, you're up."
Good, I regained consciousness safely.
Miscellaneous treatment compared to Beato?
Totally different durability.
"Yeah......, where am I...? My cheeks tingle..."
"Toka, are you conscious?
"Oh, oh..., Killier. I don't know, but I managed..."
"Good. Then I'll tell you what's going on."
Quickly explain that the [airmen] were robbed of their gifts, that they somehow found out that they stole the [water god], and that they are being chased by the Paradise guy.
As we speak, the look (kao) on Toka's face, which was blurry, gets more and more serious.
By the time I'm done explaining, I'm already totally serious.
"... I remember. Atashi, when I was in my room, all of a sudden, I was attacked by some weird guy masked as a priest with a crummy head. They beat me up shortly after I resisted, and I don't remember anything from it."
"They even knew about Toka for some reason."
"Oh. I'll seal my mouth later anyway, so you said it could be rough."
Mouth seal, huh?
Probably about underground experiments.
I told Toka about Soma yesterday, but that wasn't enough.
We should have acted together, not to be alarmed, because it would take some time for us to come.
Then they might have taken [the airmen] without taking them away.
"Nevertheless, you seem to be totally finding out about the members who broke into the Great Temple of Paradise at that time when they were coming after Toka without hesitation..."
If so, how did you find out?
Witnesses would have turned them all off.
No way, was someone alive?
While I was strangling this question, Toka seemed to think of something else.
"... wait. Melo is also in danger of finding out about Atashi..."
