In those days, Pound, the satellite city of the Kingdom of Pawnsonia.

The Adventurer Guild reception room had the appearance of a submaster with a head.

"Submaster. I've called for all four Oriental stars."

"Oh, oh, thank you..."

Take the pills out of your nose and throw them into your mouth. I poured it in with a glass of water.

Soluz, the first Eastern four-star leader to come in brought by Aurora, looked at the submaster and

"What's up? Sounds a lot naughty though."

"If I could have a cheerful face in this situation, it would be a monster..."

Slowly the submaster suggests a seat, but the solution is:

"Shufi, can you treat the submaster?

"Okay."

"Eh. Yes, no, but..."

"It's a little service. Don't worry, I won't charge you for your treatment."

Submaster told by Soluz to calm his floating hips. Turning from behind the couch, Shuffi puts his hand on the shoulder of the submaster. and crushing the chant —— and

"Oh... great work. My stomach aches are gone."

"You cannot until fatigue is restored, so please get some sleep"

Smile with a grin and Schuffi returns next to the solution. When she was the "Virgin," I thought the Submaster found out why she was called again.

Once from them like that, the submaster is taking the job. Request for escort of Count Morgustadt's maid who was assassinated in Pound. Even the Oriental Four Stars naturally wouldn't have forgotten about it, but by the time we could talk about it like this now, the relationship had returned. That and this is due to the civil war, but some parts of the submaster's stomach aches don't stop because of the civil war. Both of them.

"So, submaster. What can I do for you this time?

"Maybe Hikaru failed!

It was Celica who said it after the solution.

Nine days have passed since Hikaru received his request in Pound. Though I still have one day left until the deadline.

"No, I'm not. More like Hikaru has already arrived in Aguiar Pole. I just got word from the Adventurer Alliance of Aguiar Paul."

"I thought Hikaru would do it!

Only Celica looked "naturally" but the other three seemed surprised. What's more, Hikaru arrived two days ago, but the submaster didn't talk that far.

Aurora pours tea around. Wait for it to end, and then the solution snaps again.

"If we're not talking about Hikaru, is it about Pound's defense?

"No, that's not it. As a matter of fact, about you."

"... about us?

nod, dampening his lips with tea, then the submaster said.

"It's been officially signed up through the Adventurer Guild… Gerhardt-Vatex-Anker, king of multinational Einvists, wants to invite you to the Royal Palace as guests"

The four Oriental Four Stars rented a private room in the restaurant for a discussion. To decide how to respond to what I hear from the Submaster.

"Let's sort out the terms first"

and the solution cut it out.

-Embist Beast King Gerhardt contacted the Adventurer Guild to invite the Oriental Four Stars to the Royal Palace as "guests".

-The "guest" treatment is about three steps inferior to the finest "national guest" treatment, but it is usually a treatment used to welcome foreign nobles. I assure you that there is no more danger to the Oriental Four Stars than I am offering this treatment.

The purpose of the invitation is "to ask about the findings of like-minded adventurers". Naturally the Adventurer Guild also says, "Why do Einvists involved in the Civil War invite adventurers belonging to the Kingdom at this time? Isn't it going to affect the civil war," he questioned. "In my name, I promise that the Oriental Four Stars will not move their soldiers during their stay in Hopestadt," said the Beastman King.

· There is no reward for the invitation. This was customarily natural from not showing "caught in gold" or "caught in gold".

"Ma, the question is, why is the Beast King calling us?"

Says Sarah in a mild tone as she throws her dessert into her mouth.

"Yes. I want to hear from everyone an unprejudiced guess. How's Sufi?

"... I hear the Beast King hates doing cowardly imitations the most. So I don't think it's this civil war mess. Do you know that we were about to leave the kingdom for a moment? And I wanted him to switch to Einvist affiliation."

"I see. What about Sarah?

"Oh yeah... like finding a daughter-in-law"

"Marriage!?"

"The Beast King has more than a dozen wives left, but he's still missing them." You can fight like us, and you're looking for a beautiful wife or something?

"... I see. And Celica?"

…………

Celica had closed her eyes and put her arms around her.

"Celica?

"I don't know why, but I think we should go!

"... you suddenly jumped to a conclusion. What makes you think that?

"Civil war stops while we go to Hopestadt, the capital! The less movement there is on the battlefield, the harder it will be for the Prince to maintain his power! They only hold onto the fortress city of Leather Elka!

"Oh. You won't have much food stockpile over there. Although it was a commercial hub, it was because there was a deal between Pawnsonia and Einvist."

If Pawnsonia stops trading, the prince will have to buy food from Einvist. I don't know how far the Eimbists will look sweet on the prince, but I guess the prince's nostalgia is cold, given the fact that he is offering mediation to the Sovereign Nation of Bios.

"If the civil war is going to end with a discussion, that's the best part!

…………

"What the hell, Soluz!

"... no, I didn't think I could get that sober opinion from Celica"

"I'm a child who can!

Hmm, and a rough, snorting celica. "Well done," Sarah says from the side.

"Einvist's Adventurer Guild is the largest on the continent. The Beastman King should also pay us tribute —— there's something Selica says, and I'm curious if I could go, but how about Sufi and Sarah?

"I don't mind."

"Fine."

"Well, let's go to Hopestadt."

The Adventurer Guild submaster was surprised to hear that the Oriental Four Stars would respond to Gerhardt's invitation. I guess from Pawnsonia's perspective it feels like "Don't go to such a subhuman and dangerous country often". But the condition that the army would not move while the Oriental Four Stars were going to Einvist greatly reassured the Submaster.

The Solutions are not that anxious to get to Einvist. Travelling across borders is common as an adventurer, and because it's an honor for a king to invite you, like this one.

Just —— Celica was the only one who often thought about it.

(... feels kind of weird)

Celica's soulboard doesn't have "intuition". It's just that she's slipping through a life-threatening survival as soon as she moves into this world.

There is the "love of the Spirit" that I wore at that time. Loved from the "Spirit" who is invisible but sure to exist, she sometimes got such a hunch.

(But if you turn this down now, the Beast King won't give up, will he? —— then we'll take the lead)

Celica thought so, listening to the voice of the voiceless Spirit.

(... I'm sure Hikaru would. Even she would.

It was also certain that there was a Japanese boy in her brain, who was in the same situation, and a girl who was her best friend.

The Adventurer's Guild in Aguiar Paul had a training ground co-located. In a small city like Pond, there is as much land as there is outside the city, but it's also hard to get out when the city grows as big as Aguire Paul. So I guess there's a small but training ground.

"... hoo!

No other adventurers are renting out. Hikaru was there, moving his body. It is a review such as foot judgment if you have a small sword taught by instructor Miley at the college.

Hikaru raised the "instantaneous power" of the soulboard to 5 when Lavia was about to be exposed at Borderzad after the monster breeding in the Un El Portan Great Forest. Since "muscle strength" is 1, it is not very well balanced, and I continue my training every day on how to use the instantaneous force without overloading the flesh.

"I guess it's a lot better"

The ground where Hikaru stepped in is clear, and the earth is blowing up behind him. Such traces are spreading throughout the training ground.

The technique of approaching an opponent while maintaining "secrecy" has taken on some form. Hikaru was sitting on the bench wiping his sweat and resting.

"What is this?

"Can the Adventurer Guild not be properly maintained?"

When I was doing so, I heard voices coming from the entrance to the training ground. Hikaru wondered if it was you. I do not consider it hical that you should return to Gerop and the Church will be convinced. There was a similar "intuition" to the certainty that the next one would probably be militants.

It was the temple knight-like fully armed men who came into the training ground.

(I'm glad Lavia and Paula took their seats off.)

I told the hotel "I'm going to the Adventurers Guild" so it shouldn't be so hard to find Hikaru.

There is no doubt that depending on the course of the negotiations, it will be more cumbersome. Regardless of Lavia, Paula looks like an "ash monastery". I'm also asking the two of you to go for a stroll in the city to keep the conversation from getting spooked. I told him I'd like him to look for a library location too, if possible. Knowledge is a lifeline to be an adventurer in this world.

"Ah, that's him!

"Dear Conia! There he is!

Conia? and Hikaru thinks, one woman appeared in the training ground with the Temple Knight.

Purple hair is not tied today and even drips over blue chest armor. I show her as an adult from her calm waist, but if I look closely, I can see that she won't be as old as Hikaru.

She turns to Hikaru, soaking up the blue cloak.

————

Hikaru, instantly, lost his word.

Because —— that "Blue Knight" looked too much like someone Hikaru knew.

In the noon room, with a bright window behind her back, she smiled hikally--.

And I said it.

- They say you're busy, don't they?

That was too immature an emotion to call love.

But it's still in Hikaru's mind. I couldn't erase it with erasers, like the letters on my notebook.
