"Non has never been out across the ocean, so I don't know.

Tao was asked about what legends there are in the Republic. No matter how much a benefactor of life wishes, I can't answer anything I'm sorry but I don't know. Camilla reminded me to go there.

"Mr. Tao, in the days before our Republic, there's a guy from the Donnair Empire, so I'm calling him.

The Republic of Karimakka is a new country that separated several years ago from the Donaia Empire. Camilla brought in Okinii, who has been working for Tao's organization for many years now.

"Well, hey, at first Okinii didn't work in the harbor. Well, you know, you hurt people in the empire.

"Ojiki, don't tell me the old story. So, the brothers with the vertical arms just now?

"Well, they want to hear about the republican past.

"Please. I want to know if the legend that has been said in the kingdom for a long time is there as well.

Lagon hears the story of the legend of the red dragon Okinii, and Tao tells him what he remembers and makes him listen.

"Oh my God, I've heard such stories before. Noh also talked about when he was a little girl, but the storm followed and there was water damage, and the great rivers of Yarmat and Boree flooded one after the other, causing great damage. That's when the red snake was killed, wasn't it?

"When we were born, there were no more two-legged snakes in the country, I don't even know, but what do you say, Okinii?

"No, I've never heard of it either. In the Empire, dragons only know stories about destroying false dragons and becoming gods.

"So are bipedal snakes kept in any color?

Lagon has no idea what the hell he wants to know or what he wants to do.

"Well, a two-legged snake is such a precious thing. Besides, other than regular white and blue and white colors, they're sold at a price that's likely to pop out of the eyeballs. Besides, we only keep big merchants and royal nobles like that. Because the empire is colder than here. You can't keep them in a place without the grace of the Holy Springs.

"Really? All right, you're an empire or a republic.

Tao asks Lagon, as if he had decided his mind.

"Lagon, I don't know what's going on, but do we have to cross over to the Republic?

Lagon's answer was summary.

"Yes. As soon as possible.

"Then do me a favor, the Lord can do it, no, I think the Lord can only do it.

Tao tells the story of a friend who lives in a republican port town that he just revealed.

He's a year-round guy about Kamiya, even when it comes to friends, and his name is Orton. He was a merchant who imported and exported in the Republic's port city of Moates and should now have been a leading player in the town. This is what wrote to me a week ago. It has been two weeks since it was written when I saw the date of the offer. While some of the letters were supposed to send information in earnest, the plump audio message was interrupted.

"That's pretty worrying. Even when I saw how you did it today, I thought you were a dangerous opponent. Don't you have any other means of communication? I'd better find out what's going on.

"Actually, the emergency contact method from Orton is a bat, but that flew in this morning with nothing. I don't know what that means.

Long-distance communications, such as crossing the sea with the Republic, are a classic use of guncandori if you are an army, but small bats are often used because it is difficult for individuals to raise or apply them. But if they were to fly without anything, all I could think was that something was going on.

"Can you show me that bat?

Mitsu became interested in bats. I guess I still have experience using it in intelligence activities and such.

"Oh, you're supposed to be bringing him over here, Okinii, show him.

Okinii takes Mitsu to show him the bat he's bringing inside the office.

"So. I was wondering if Orton would be all right if I could get him and his family over here. No, I know it's dangerous, but that's why I can only ask you guys with those arms.

I asked him to rub his head against my desk. Even if we were helped, it would be a difficult task in the present situation, where both ships and ports are held up by Unitota, to see how they can escape. But I feel like the Lagons could do something about it. That's what Tao's six senses have taught me, which has been creeping through numerous training grounds.

"No, raise your hand. Thank you for all your help. Fine, I'll see what I can do. So, if possible, you can take me home, right?

"Will you do it!

"Because it's Mr. Tao's favor. You're one of the Lotus Students, aren't you?

─ ─ Right, buddy, buddy!

Put your hands together and convey your gratitude, but I really think Lagon is a good one. Mitsu returns to where he is doing so, but there is a nod just from looking at Lagon's face. Of course you don't have anything, so no information, that's probably the signal. I'm not discouraged because it's what I knew.

"Mr. Tao, that bat, can I take you?

"Of course not. Please use it to contact Nong La when possible.

After all, it turns out I was in contact with the bat. I'm sure his mother taught him. Earlier personal stories were evoked.

I don't know how much training Lagon and Mitsu have had, but Tao sees the agility of handling that Krusicaa instantly all the way there, and the power of throwing Sharr like a shell with that thin arm, not what he got for being half-baked. Perhaps something came in when a mother with one eye and one arm raised those brothers and sisters so far, trained to throw up blood reflexes when her own children never wanted to match those eyes.

And I saw that much confidence in the two of you who are going to save Orton now. He still has hidden abilities, possibly infiltration and intelligence moves he inherited from his mother, too. Seeing the lack of forgiveness for the bad guys earlier, I think they're going to crush it even against the military. At least, a platoon, even a squadron that borrowed a militia if it didn't hit it from the front, is enough to make you wonder if it's an arm that could be wiped out.

"Do you have a map?

"How did it go, Camille?"

"Hey, easy to find.

Camilla goes looking because Lagon demanded it, but I'm not sure it was here. I command you to take a moment and write it down briefly without having to. I was to go home with that while explaining it in the deer car.

"Then we'll be ready to go home, too.

"Me too..."

The two walked to the ground again and disappeared, even though they had nothing to say and bring in.

After a while, Okinii, who had taken his seat off, stops by. Looks like he was revamping the bodies of the guys he attacked, lined up on the ground. The living one should have tied it up, put it in a deer car, and a few of us went poking it out to the Wang Du garrison.

"Ojiki, are those two real brothers and sisters?

"Why, so brilliantly brunette, brunette, beautiful man. It's rare, it's not like that.

"No, I hope so, but I went into the grove earlier, and I kind of...

"You peeked! Bad taste.

"Heh, heh, sorry. I was wondering.

"So, as much as I went into the jungle...

"No, so butu inside..."

"Huh?"

"─ You were kissing me. He was pretty hot.

"... don't tell anyone that. Some brothers and sisters are like that. It's a big world.

That said, thank you. Those two, I'm going to look at them with warm eyes, considering that might have prevented me from staying home.

(Well, maybe they're not actually brothers and sisters, and even so, they're not complaining. Whatever. I'm not one of them.
