The walls of the capital, Ertbourg, plugged in the summer, dull reflect the rays of the red-burning sun.

Beside the heavy south gate, which should also be referred to as the main gate of Ertbourg, there existed a small gate used for general traffic.

It is mainly the small gate used by merchants and others for importing and exporting traded goods from other cities, etc., and the main unit is also the place where several guards pack in this place.

But right now, there's no shadows around that little gate.

... except for the blonde young man who looks like a late teenager brought to the gate.

Only one young man, who stands as he leads to the gate, still leaves only a small amount of childhood, but the blue armor he wears and the countless wounds engraved on the bottom had already shown that he was a warrior who had experienced multiple battlefields.

To such a place, a dark-haired man, such as in his early twenties, slowly comes to him as he crosses his beloved horse.

"Senior Yui... are you sure you want to go"

The young man with the neutral face of a blonde blue eye said so as he stood in front of the man on the horse, staring straight into his eyes.

The dark-haired man, known as Yui, only gives a twitchy, bewildered look for a moment.

And once he scratched his head on the horse, he returned his voice feeling sorry for him as he was.

"Sorry for the inconvenience."

words of that dark-haired man.

Taking that, the blonde young man shook his head left and right just saying he had no choice.

"I hear General Lynn, who leads the Imperial Army, is a cautious figure. It doesn't necessarily work out for you. Would you like to reconsider?"

Given the current situation in the Kingdom of Clarice, we knew that we could not pull it off or anything else.

But the youth couldn't help pulling it off.

"Look, Aince. The Royal Army lost almost all of its troops in the earlier battle of Saubakrien. A lot of people have already decided, unfortunately."

Hearing that word, Eince sighs one out.

He then slowly moved his own body, which was blocking him from the front of the horse, and opened the road leading to the meadow outside the castle before Yui.

"The next thing you know is the battlefield."

"Oh, ask for this country. And the sad one."

From the horse Yui bows his head to his junior.

Aince, who witnessed the appearance, shook his neck slightly and vertically only when he exhaled a deep sigh.

"I get it. I'll take responsibility for the rest... and that one so that my senior can come back at any time. So please don't just be impotent.

That said, Eince heads to Yui with his head down and gently offers his right hand.

"... you know I'm not good at shaking hands"

"Yes."

Having said that, Aynce never lowered her right hand.

So when Yui scratched his head as troubled, he removed the long knife that he had put on his own hips, and instead of his right hand let him hold the knife in Aince's hand.

"Instead of shaking hands. As a farewell, I'll keep this. Look, don't do it. I'll just keep it."

Yui presses her love knife while doing a childish trick that swells her cheeks slightly.

To his behavior like that, Ace accidentally laughs out loud.

Then, only whenever Yui was caught and laughed out.

Two laughs echoing the king's capital in the early morning.

That was the slow and quiet time, when Ace turned to the man in front of him and turned his words again.

"Now...... I will borrow it often in conjunction with my senior seats. Anyway, be careful."

With words, Eince slowly opens the gate that was closed.

Dark-haired man...... Yui Istarz shakes off all his strays and keeps his horse straight forward.

Such was the green and clear blue sky of the earth before his eyes, and the appearance of a black imperial soldier that spread beyond sight to delimit it.
