"On that condition, you want us to accept the alliance?

The man who named him King of Mactoria, in a low voice, intimidates her...... Sofia.

He didn't even try to hide his attitude such as dissatisfaction with this alliance, and the bureaucrats around him reacted similarly.

"Let's provide a place where refugees can live. That's what I had decided beforehand with the king. But I forbid you to get deeply involved in this country."

"Then it's like..."

It was an indisputable 'abandonment'.

But those who surround her are not willing to take a step back, saying that it is a temper in itself to give her a place to live.

"Sir Bettenburg. I have one thing to say. We don't like to fight. Whether it's Isel or... the law of the wise."

"What does that mean?

"Don't you see? I want to tell you not to involve Mactoria in your war."

When the king finished, the heavy towns around him also began to agree, as if to give no room for objection.

"Exactly. That's why I'd like you to pick it up."

"Most importantly, with a bird head who can't understand the meaning of words of this magnitude, you won't be able to leave."

"... eh"

Sophia eats off her lips.

But their tyrannical attitude never stopped.

"I suppose you were going to push us to make up for the damage of the Wise Men's Act...... that was too shallow. Isel of Wisdom, much decadent."

"Ha, don't say it up. At the point of giving one such little girl away, we must have been seen below by the king of Isel. I feel sorry for this girl too. Dancing a clown like no other."

"Besides, Bettenburg may be the only one who's fallen. Not wearing one escort, coming to this place, etc... in the first place, is she herself an authentic successor to Bettenburg? It even raises the question"

"That's it... I..."

She opened her mouth with tears in her eyes, but King Mactoria opened his mouth as if to crush even it.

"Bethenburg. This is our country's intention. If you understand, clear all the chairs lined up here and go back to your country."

Hearing the words, the heavy towns grinned, and their voices echoed as this meeting plugged in at the end.

"Please wait. His Majesty King Mactoria."

The gentle young man's voice sounded familiar to Sofia.

"... oh, Kami?

"Sudden intrusion, excuse me. My name is Wolf. I'm captain of a mercenary unit called Fang."

"Mercenaries are here."

"Wait, you said fangs, didn't you? Fang is the most powerful mercenary unit in the world that has suddenly emerged recently, right?

"Yes. At the same time, I am employed by this present Sir Bettenburg. Because they say bad things about the Lord and I can't back off congratulations."

The look on King Mactoria's face becomes more rude.

fangs. A being that has suddenly appeared recently and wants but leaves its strongest name.

I silently urged the word as to what his curiosity prevailed: what would be said?

"You seem to be mistaken for letting Isel go so far away from the war, but that's a big mistake"

"It's busy..."

"I think you're busy, but forgive me.... Again, the Wise Men's Act is something even Isel may not be good at. You take it upon yourselves to cut us lizard tails, but after they destroy us, is there any guarantee that we won't get our hands on any other country?

"... but it doesn't"

"It would be. But now that Isel is serving as the shield for the crowd here, it's cheaper to help them and let Isel win. Different?

"Wolf, then..."

"Yeah. Alliances can be difficult in this setting. But if it's about aid, can you guys do it?

"... wait a while. I'm going to talk to everyone about this once."

"Wise decision, awaiting you"

In a word of the wolf, the meeting seems to have been broken down, and each of them returns to their own place of business.

That leaves Sophia and two wolves. And it was a chair that was lined up and left behind.

"Well, let's get rid of it."

"... thank you, thank you. But I can clean this place up by myself."

"That's okay. Because I'm one of your men."

"Stop, I want it. If you're being nice now, maybe it'll be a mess."

"Ha. I don't mind. Even Sophia's been patient, hasn't she?

The wolf keeps politely clearing the chairs one by one.

Sophia, too, continued to mimic it and clean it up.

"... sorry I let you help me"

"I guess I'm happier thanking you than sorry, I am"

"Huh...?

"Oh, no. Haha," Me, "huh?"

'I'm happier thankful than sorry'.

I had heard the phrase somewhere.

Oddly enough, very similar to a wolf, from his mouth.

"Wolf, could you..."

"I'm me. Captain Fang's, it's a wolf. It has nothing to do with who you're trying to say."

"... Now, I'm going to say that. Someday, I'll show you under that mask."

haha, wolves laughing like a little troubled.

After cleaning up the chair that way, he suddenly said.

"One more thing than that, I have to do here. I need Sophia to wait a minute, okay?

"Fine...... You can't just disappear."

"That's... yeah. You can't get away with it. Sorry."

"Well, I'll wait outside the castle"

That's all she says, she leaves this place.

When he admits it, he proceeds to the back of the castle.

After a short walk, he suddenly stopped and spoke to the soldier in front of the door.

"I want to see Her Majesty the Queen. Can you install it?

"... why did you do it? Fine, name your name."

"First Name,"

He opened his mouth after a bit of thinking.

I left my stuff in my room and sat in a chair in the hall.

Around, there are kids playing with all sorts of things and Karen sitting in a chair just staring me in the eye.

"... why are you staring at me all the time?

"Nothing. Nothing"

No matter how many times I ask, this is the answer.

Already I said goodbye to Yu and Lynne and told all my children why I live in an orphanage.

Naturally, to Karen too.

But she's glancing at my face every time she says something.

"Um... I'd be ashamed if they'd stared at me all the time."

"I don't."

"... are you angry about something?

"Nothing."

She keeps looking at me with her legs as a praprapra, still with her protesting eyes.

... would I have done something? Nothing, even if it's like being disturbed by her...

When I was going through the idea, I suddenly spoke from her side.

"... I don't think you should get too involved with someone wearing a mask"

"... a mask?

Again, that word.

I don't know about masks.

Say it's a previous letter, what the hell's going on around me?

"You met the one in the mask?

"Yes.... but something disgusted me. I've never seen him before, but he treated me as if I'd known him for a long time... he stroked my head, but I didn't like it"

"... it's disgusting, that guy. I can assure you, I definitely don't know him."

... Is it a guy named Loricon?

I don't want to know him or see him in the future, such as the guy with the mask that strokes the head of the girl I met.

"But somewhere the atmosphere was similar to that of Lasalles"

"Me? Is that a joke?

"It was similar... I feel it. So, I thought maybe I knew Lazareth... maybe I thought Lazareth was someone like that."

"No. Absolutely not. I don't want to be involved with him, and I don't want to see him."

It's Karen's statement, so no offense, but if that's how I was seen, I'd be so shocked.

Karen stood up and said I had such sentimental thoughts.

"'This is not a story for you. It's a story you need to end." "

"Huh?"

Suddenly, things that I had been thinking about blew up in things that didn't look like Karen.

Worried about how I would respond, her words continued.

"The man asked me to tell Lazareth. Meaning...... I don't know what that means"

"... right"

"It's not a story for you".

The words tighten the thoughts that were out of my mind somewhere.

That's right. I... I have to finish.

"... maybe what he's saying isn't wrong"

"Huh?"

"Bad, Karen. I just want you to think about it for a second. I'm going to look back again at what I'm going to do."

I should have known best that I wasn't in a position to enjoy the peace here.

And what have I been thinking?

"In this cozy place, you just have to live forever"?

Is there such a good story about bugs?

- I'm the Savior.

When I tried to speak without knowing the thought, the earth shook, and from near the town's exterior, an awesome explosion rang.
