Autumn was deepening and cold winds were blowing.

In the end, Hikaru spent his days in the comfort of the hotel he was in and without moving to another hotel.

Around him —— there were major changes in Ville-Zentra.

First, a huge campsite was created in the suburbs, where troops marched from various countries were to be accommodated.

Coming as the first line were 2,000 Imperial Quimbrand Army, 200 Knights of the Kingdom of Pawnsonia, 700 United Nations troops of Forestia and 200 Knights of the Temple of the Sovereign Nation of Bios.

The multinational Einvist has not yet made the flag clear whether to go or not, and as a result, it appears that Bios, who alerts Einvist, could only send out 200 knights.

So far there have been no marches from groups of countries of the South.

"Oh, I'm doing it. I'm doing it."

Hikaru, who left at noon dressed as Silver Face, went around inspecting the national army, single, training near the campsite.

Bios captured the magic belonging to "Holy" in Quimbrand, which is dominated by spears, Pawnsonia in heavy armor, and Forestia, who operates a giant bow that is lightly dressed but likely to be powerful in ranged combat.

Each nation has its own distinctive features.

"Reconnaissance is good from noon."

There was someone who had been calling out to such a hical.

I already knew in "Magic Detection" that the person would approach me even as a hical, but I didn't dare hide.

"Hey Knight Commander (...)"

Lawrence-Di-Falcon.

He is a man with the alias "Kensei" for Knights of the Kingdom of Pawnsonia.

Once in the past, Hikaru has won against Lawrence, but is not the kind of opponent he can win compared to the power from the front.

I know Lawrence would be fine because he knew he was going to cross the Grand Dream continent as well, but he shifts his center of gravity so that he can cope whenever he's set up —— and

"... yes, don't be alarmed. His Majesty Kujastria told me to get along with you."

"Heh... Can someone as powerful as you leave the country?

"There's no sign of a neighbor attacking us, and we're spinning soldiers here. There won't be a war crisis for a while."

"I don't know what Einvist will do."

"No, I know. No problem."

I felt confident when I did it. Hikaru doubted.

"Because —— look, it's me"

"Huh?"

Looking at what Lawrence pointed at, the dust is already up.

Looks like a lot of people are approaching this campsite.

"............... come on, are you serious"

Confirming the person in the lead with "Magic Detection," Hikaru looked familiar to the magic. Though I didn't think so —— the person (...) jumps the horse, whether he notices Lawrence's giant, or Silverface's blackcrumb.

"Wah hah hah!!!!"

It is Gerhardt-Vatex-Anker, king of Einvists, who has turned up such a loud voice that he cannot even beat the horseshoe, to be the beast man of the lion. That person.

"'Sword Saint' Lawrence!! And so silver face! There were two enemies with goose necks!! Take your weapons! I'll finish you guys off first!!"

Sure, Hikaru has messed with Gerhardt, but that was only to make him turn the eye of Gerhardt to the Sovereign Nation of Bios, not Pawnsonia.

Especially not that I don't like him or that kind of emotion.

I guess Gerhardt himself can't keep his stomach shut about Silverface, even though he knows he is.

(Either the king himself comes out... is this guy willing to cross the ocean himself?

As for Hikaru, I have no choice but to be scared.

"Gotholtow! Get your Halvard out!

It was Gotholt, a Tiger Beast, also a Rank A Adventurer, who horsed beside Gerhardt, who ran alone. Hikaru also had a little contact with him leading the party "Polar Tiger". Rather, I even feel nostalgic.

"Dragon Pearl's Wand," which had Koo locked in, was the same Einvist's Rank A Adventurer party, Rising Falls. "Polar Tiger" was accompanying "Rising Falls" at the time.

"Dear Gerhard, think carefully about the detriment of your being exposed here."

"Ugh! I don't care. If he's here, he'll kill you!

"If you wave the blade here, it will develop into a battle between the army and the army. Then the expedition to the New World will be postponed for a long time, and we will have no voice when it resumes."

"Then I'll go on my own --"

"I'm sure you know very well, Master Gerhardt, that there are few warships in Einvist."

"Guru..."

Stunningly annoyed by Gotholt, but apparently Gotholt is Gerhard's eyewitness.

(If anything goes wrong, I'll tell this tiger beast man)

It is so heartfelt Hikaru.

But —— this wasn't the end of the commotion.

"Wow, I'm the 'Kensei'!? Real!? Wow, I've never seen that before!

"Hmmm...... I hope not, he says he's a samurai with no complaints"

"Don't look too closely... you're embarrassed to be with me"

Pokan, and Hikaru's mouth has opened.

The three men on the horse looked familiar —— on the contrary, they were friends who had spent a lot of time.

Claude managed to reach the point of marrying Luca after the disturbances that would catch on to the Union of Foresters. The golden, red eyes signify the blood of the past royal family in Kirihar.

Ivan is from Jalazak, one of the United States, and is called the beard of toys, he is a completely old looking but "college" student. And then you're properly young.

Roye-Huang Tiger Rumania is from Rumania, as its name suggests, but his guts should have been re-tapped when Hikaru was in the "College" and engaged in activities to create a "Student Union".

Three of them —— three in the Union of Foresters -- why are they acting together with the Einvist army?

Einvist brought in 3,500 personnel, almost close to the limit of being able to operate. For one thing, Gerhard, the king, said, "That sounds interesting! Because I said so."

Apparently, the Claudes have stuck with Gerhardt, too, but I can't let myself, the Silver Face, talk to them.

It was that evening that Hikaru learned of the "circumstances".

Hikaru, who returned from the inspection, met in the hotel lobby when --,

"Uh... is that Mr. Luca?

It was Luca, Claude's new wife.

Shorter hair is blue for women and glasses for the eyes. Somewhere a pull-in idea and well hidden in the shadow of Claude, she was now totally stretching her spine and returning her gaze to Hikaru.

I talked to Lavia next door, and she just ran into Luca where she was shopping. So, he said he had just come to Ville-Zentra and had not decided where to stay, so he led us to the hotel where we were staying.

You two just got married.

Despite this, Claude has joined the Einvist army along with the other two.

So, Luca, who on the other hand is acting alone.

"... I only smell trouble, can I ask you the circumstances for once?

Kokuri, and Luca, who nodded small, told me a lot.

Things since Hikaru left Forestia--.

Finished listening, Hikaru puts his hand on his forehead.

"I mean... they couldn't stand the desire to give an arms test, and instructor Mikhail took them out to Eimbist's" Chosen King Wu Guild ". It caught Gerhardt's eye because he had enough results to compete in the main race and stayed in the capital of Einvist as a diner…"

"Instructor Mikhail returned at the time the letter arrived to return from the college, but Claude seemed to enjoy his first foreign... At first I thought it would be good for me, too. We jumped over Kirihar and Ludansha's previous flights and got married, so if we were in Forestia, we would still have felt in danger. I was hoping that if I could stay in the Einvist and avoid that..."

"An unexpectedly prolonged stay?

"Yes......"

When I asked him, he said that the simple and lucid air of being recognized from around him if his arm was strong suited Claude's skin.

"Mr. Ivan had that vibe from the beginning, but did Mr. Claude?

"... Claude seems to have gained a lot of confidence by getting Mr. Hikaru trained."

"Ugh, excuse me"

Instead of training, I messed with the soul board, so I'm a lot more responsible for Hikaru.

"No, it doesn't mean I resent you. Without Mr. Hikaru, our marriage would have been unbearable..."

"Oh, yeah... so Mr. Claude said he wanted to go to the New World?"

"Is that it? Did I tell you that story?"

"Uh. I was wondering if you're in Ville-Zentra at this time of year."

"Actually, it is. I can still be strong... or something"

…………

This is a serious illness. It is a muscular idiotic disease.

(You will certainly gain experience throughout the battle...)

If you are forced to increase your abilities on the soul board, will you become overconfident?

Or if Hikaru had explained it all, if he knew it wasn't just his powers, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

"That's what made Claude jump out..."

"Mr. Luca naturally wants to stop Claude."

"Yes. I think it's on some edge to see Mr. Hikaru again this way. It's just... if Mr. Hikaru could talk to you, you'd have ears to listen to, but once you're on it, it's hard to lose confidence, right? Besides, if you don't have to go to the New World this time, you might say you're going at the next time... and it's strange to rely on Mr. Hikaru every time."

"Hmmm......"

Hikaru thought as he twisted his neck, pong, and slapped his hand.

"That's right. Then I have a good idea. I was looking for adventurers to cross the continent in the Adventurers Guild. He wants to build a guild over there."

"Yeah... what is that?

Hikaru was impatient.

"Mr. Luca, come with me, let's go. to the Grand Dream Continent."
