I answered her question while facing Aina. [M]

"Who am I - that is to say, the swordsman you fought against… the man named Raul Isaac and I are involved, I suppose."

"Oh, yeah. Your strength is real, and I've worked with you before. But that's different. Raul and your swordsmanship are too similar. Besides, it looks like your Invisible is the same as Raul."

― ― The blade created by the magic of the wind is a swordsmanship that Raul Izarf is good at, and I also use this swordsmanship a lot.

The reason is simple, there is nothing wrong if it sticks together.

If you are good at wind magic, it won't be difficult to reproduce it, but you won't be able to reproduce it until you release the 'Invisible Blade' at high speed.

In the first place, Raul's swordsmanship is something he never taught anyone - swordsmanship.

What Anna is saying is that my swordsmanship is probably the same as Raul's Swordsman.

"... I don't know who Aena fought against. It's just that at least you were with me or more, right? So he remembered me."

"Ah, first. But I'm asking you directly because I trust you to some extent. That's why I want you to be honest with me."

"Well, I appreciate you trusting me, but unfortunately I don't. If you're on the same level as me, that's what I'd like to fight for."

……

Answering my question, Ana kept her eyes peered. [M]

But as soon as she sighs, she opens her mouth.

"Phew... I was hoping I could get some information, but that's what I said. First, let's believe you."

"Thank you very much. Is that all you wanted to hear from me?

"Oh, yeah. Next time, I'll answer your question. Was that why I came here?

"That's right. Are you sure you're not just here to study abroad?

"No, personally, I wanted to study abroad without any worries."

Ana answered with her shoulders crossed.... that's her answer, but that's not the only reason.

"I don't know where I started... that's right. Let's start with the Knights of Armor."

"Knights of Armor!"?

I react unexpectedly to the words coming out of Anna. [M]

But she continued to deny it immediately.

"As for the previous incident, where we were involved - no, where we were involved. First of all, there's the Knights of Armor captain, Héron Stilette, right? He's working with us, the Farmer Imperial Army. But someone might have tried to assassinate him."

"You mean the incident the other day. We are also investigating the matter, but do you mean you already know about it?"

"Oh, yeah. Should I say an early alliance? Incidentally, it was one of the factors that kept one of my men alive."

I was a little surprised when I heard Ana's words. [M]

Not only was she aware of the earlier incident, but apparently she was already involved in one at that time.

The wounds on Halon were deep, and it was said that if the treatment was delayed, he would not have been saved first.

If what we're talking about is true, the Imperial Army saved Halon.

"If Aena's story is true, maybe she should be thanked."

"I'm not going to lie about this. I swear it's the truth."

"I see. And yet, an alliance? I didn't know the Knights of the Holy Armor, who were part of the defense, were in an alliance with that opponent...."

"Surprised? But I'm not interacting directly with Halon myself. Instead, I came here with a plan to approach from another direction. That's why I'm here."

"Approach? That means the Imperial Army is in a cooperative relationship with the Knights of the Holy Armor, but you yourself have another idea... is that so?

"I appreciate the speed of understanding. Incidentally, I will say that the alliance between the Imperial Army and the Knights of the Holy Armor is by no means bad for you. It's an alliance for peace, and it's what my father promotes."

Anna laughed and said away.

Apparently, at least Anna may be able to tell us about one of the Knights' investigations.

But I don't think she'll be able to talk to me easily.... no, if she dared to choose this school - I'll consider the possibility and ask Anna.

"Eina, did you come here to collaborate with the Knights of the Holy Armor as well as the Knights of the Black Wolf?

"! Hmm, I don't have to go far to ask a straight ball. But I don't hate that kind of thing. I certainly don't think so."

"Needless to say... you're here to make sure?

"Fu, well, that's the place. Now, speaking of what you're investigating, there's also the Magic Order, right? I can answer that, too."

"... from that way of saying, what do you want me to give you in return for the information?

"Fuhah, that's a good guess. I answered the question because you answered my question, but I'm not close enough to you to tell you everything for free."

While saying that, Aena does not have the hostile gaze as before, but rather reaches out to me as if she needed me.

"The previous case of the Magic Order and the man named Raul Izarf - everything is connected. And it's about the future of the kingdom and the future of the empire. That's why I was looking for an ally at my discretion. That's you, Alta. Are you going to join me?

Anna looked straight at me and said. [M] Apparently, the reason she's here is more complicated than I thought.

The future of the kingdom and the empire - if such a big word comes out, I can't say that I will cooperate with her in my own existence.

If it were true, I would take it home to consult with the Knight Commander Remill.

But that's not what Ana wanted.

It is also clear that the future of the kingdom is a matter for England.

That's why I take Anna's hand without hesitation.

"Co-operation means you can tell me everything you know... is that all right? You seem to have doubted me a little."

"Oh, I doubt anything. But if I decide to believe it, I won't doubt it. What I need now is a swordsman as strong as you. That's why I'll tell you what I know."

Shake hands with each other.

In this way, I became a cooperative relationship with Anna, who had studied abroad face-to-face.
