Cleon took the devil's clan's mud like he had said.

Is the attitude somewhat unnatural because of the damage when it is slammed to the ground?

Cleon stared at me.

"Is Solon okay?

"As a result, the floor of the blurry palace just fell out. Well, my back hurts, but there was a nice, classy cushion."

I pointed to the devil clan's mud and made him laugh.

Of course, I don't like wearing demonic mud, and I want you to spare me the collapse of the ruins, but I didn't have to die, so let's put up with it.

But Cleon shook his head sideways.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Mud coming out of this demon clan, but the mucus contains neurotoxicity."

"Huh?"

If you ask me, these slimy demons are often indeed poisonous.

But I didn't notice because there was nothing I could do.

Why not?

Maybe connecting the philia to the magic circuit is affecting something.

I'm sure Philia must be worried about me by now.

And I looked down at Cleon.

"I mean, Cleon can't move well because of the poison?

With his muffled face, Cleon answered nothing.

I mean, it's a picture star.

Cleon thought for a while, then snapped "Oh".

"This is a trap you set. Solon."

"I set the trap? To Cleon?"

"I take my antidote in advance, and where you and I are, I call in some way a demon tribe with neurotoxicity from the ceiling. That would make it easier to make me a deceased."

"Wait. Even I'm in trouble for being dropped in the dark like this. If I set a trap, I can't get caught up in it."

"I don't know. For example, to stab me in the stomach, I might have fallen under the floor with myself."

"You often come up with a lot of bad imaginations."

"It's a possible story.... I'm Sophia's fiancée, albeit only in form. From you and Sophia, it would be intrusive. [M] Besides, this offensive operation could be stopped if it wasn't for me. And."

"And?"

"I'm the one who banished you from the Knights."

Cleon suddenly turned away.

Maybe, unlike Arte, Cleon thinks backwards that he kicked me out of the Knights.

I smiled.

"I don't resent being kicked out of the Knights."

"You're lying. That's how I got scolded and kicked out of the Knights I made. There's no way I don't resent you."

"I was disappointed at first. Because I thought I wasn't needed anymore from my fellow Knights. I lost sight of my goal and fell on my way."

"Not now?

"Right."

"Deputy Head of the Empire's Most Powerful Knights. That was your title. If you're an adventurer, no, if you're an imperial subjects, you're in the position everyone admires. So you found something more important than that?

"I am the tutor of Her Royal Highness the Empress Philia. I'm satisfied with that."

"You don't understand. We adventurers want more precious treasures, higher status, more glorious fame, and better power, right?

"Creon and Arte have power. It is natural for the Creons to pursue their ideals. But I don't have that power. I only have enough power to protect the person I want to help. It's the most important thing for me to be able to protect the Phileas."

"... Your Highness Philia is important."

"Sort of. Apprentice is a cute thing. If it's true, I just want to help Philia and her people."

"What if it's true?

"I mean, I'm gonna help you with your current Cleon."

Either way, you won't be able to get out of here and join the offensive team without Cleon's help.

As long as he recovers, Cleon's power can be relied upon considerably.

Furthermore, if Cleon were not present, Arte would become the substantial commander of the offensive squad.

That way, instead of stopping the offensive maneuver, it could accompany Arte's terrible maneuver, and it doesn't change that Philia is in danger.

Cleon has been in a relationship for nine years since magic school.

He may not have thought so, but he was a dear friend to me before he was banished.

I pulled out a treasure sword and cast an easy healing magic.

I can't do it right away. But I should be able to detoxify Cleon in a while.

"Here, I'll lend you my shoulder. There could be debris coming down here from above, so let's move."

Cleon gave me a complicated look, and then he grabbed me.

"Now you can believe I'm not going to kill Cleon?

"... I didn't think you'd kill me originally."

Cleon snapped small.

With a tremendous foothold, Cleon starts walking.

"It's been a long time since I've helped Cleon. Reminds me of the old days. In freshman year, Cleon fell into a muddy pond and I pulled it up to help him."

"Don't bring up magic school stuff forever. That's what I hate about you."

Cleon blurred in dissatisfaction.

And Cleon said.

"Unlike you, I want wealth, honor and power. Perhaps your best wishes are the same as yours."

"Yeah. What's Cleon's best wish?

"Again, I want to see dead Shea. It's that simple."
