270 Formerly The Strongest, Reminds Me Of Forgotten Things
Soma never surprised me when I showed up, simply because I had noticed.
Given the circumstances, it would be natural to keep your perimeter alert that there might be others.
That's why I caught on, but when I turned my gaze towards you, Eleonora had a slightly dissatisfied look at what I didn't like.
"... By the way, I'd like to ask you one thing, how the hell have you noticed?
"Since you appeared here? Or since when not so long ago?
Timely, just after Soma defeated the demon god.
It was a sign that he was asking how things were going, so I left him alone for now.
"Then I wish you'd called me."
"That's why I would have called?
"I don't think so... well, that's okay. There's more to it than that."
"To say, is it?
"Yes. - On behalf of the Holy Capital, I thank you. Thank you very much for saving the Holy Capital crisis."
With that said, Eleonora lowered her head gracefully.
The figure was more aristocratic than a lousy nobleman and deserved to be the Lord of the Holy City.
But as a soma, I can only feel it in a big way, only shrugging my shoulders.
"Isn't that a little too much? The fact that you arrived soon would have made it possible without me?
"I may have, but I may not have. And there's a good chance that there was a lot of damage. It prevented me from doing so, so it is my natural duty as Lord of the Holy City."
"Really... well, I hope you like it"
And, talking about that, I was lightly slapped on the shoulder.
Looking back, Ingrid is staring at this one with an indescribable look again.
"Well, maybe you're a friend of the Virgin or something? Oh, no, are you a friend of the Virgin or something?
"You don't have to be tough like that, do you? I'm not a friend or anything."
"Oh, you say sad things. Me and you are friends who lived under one roof... oh or is that what you mean by not being friends?
"Hey, what...!? Soma......!?
"Why are you eating?" Well, that's certainly not a lie, but under one roof, in a broad sense, is it? I was in a separate room, but I wasn't even out of a place. "
You don't have to bother to say that Ingrid is there, and he was in a cabin, and so on.
It's just extra misleading.
"In short, we're just guests."
"Customer...? Speaking of which, he did say things like being here as a guest... I didn't know he was a guest of the Virgin..."
"Well... now, it's just a relationship with my guest."
"Why, now, and yet, did you emphasize that? You and Soma will never change from that relationship."
"Oh, not necessarily, is it? What a moment when a relationship changes. Instead, I guess it doesn't change who hasn't changed in years... but there was someone like that there."
"Ho... I mean, you're selling fights, right? Fine, you bought it...!
"Don't buy it. I mean, I'm not particularly surprised that you guys knew each other, but are you not close?
"Huh, it's not like we're not getting along. I just don't care!
"That's my dialogue......!
I exhale into the two of you staring at each other with that said.
Apparently, the two are called dog monkeys.
Eleonora hadn't spoken at all earlier, but maybe she didn't want to talk to Hildegard.
"I don't care what kind of relationship you have... so can I leave it to you that you have come out here? We're basically outsiders."
"Right...... Ingrid, do you mind? You're the one who knows the most about what kind of behavior the two of you took, and I'll leave it up to you."
"Ha, thank you. But...... right. I'm going to ask you a lot, but if it means a guest of the Virgin, you won't have to stay, especially for both of you."
"That's what I mean."
"Hmm, is that right..."
Then there won't be any particular need to stay.
The guy there should just be losing his mind, and he doesn't seem to be like he was when Stina dealt with it instantly.
There is also a need for treatment.
The Somas need to do a little, or listen in, and they should act as quickly as possible, if possible.
Think about the situation so far - including the fact that Eleonora is here now - because the more time passes, the more likely she is to get involved.
I've come this far if there's anything I need to do, but I've never crossed it.
Because there's still a lot of work to be done to make magic work.
"Well, if that's the case, then we're here... no, did we need to hear where the Holy Knights were before then?"
"Right...... well, even if I don't go with you, if you give me my name, you'll let me talk to you somewhat. Just about anything, I don't know."
"You don't expect that much."
I just need to know if it has anything to do with what happened before or not.
If you listen appropriately, you'll be able to tell the difference.
We can't end it there if we find out it has something to do with it... but then we'll just have to think about it again.
Whatever it is, we ask where it is, and we talk about it when we get there.
"Oh, are you sure you don't want to ask us? I think you know the whole story, so it's not gonna be a hassle twice, is it?
"Don't be a hassle twice. Instead, can you push trouble?
"Oh, you say terrible things. We don't do that. It's just... if you listen to us, you might want to help us for some reason."
"It would be the same thing"
Nevertheless, there's no way you wouldn't know there's no such thing as listening if you told me that.
In that case, it is believed that you have a lot of information... but it is not necessary to go out of your way to confirm it.
Though the matter of price is spared, the end of those who leave their greed to God to make a covenant is determined.
Where corner magic is available, it doesn't make sense if you can't actually use it.
Therefore, without hearing the extra words, he opened his mouth to Ingrid to hear where the Saints were… it was on the brink of it that his voice was heard.
"Oh, yeah. Though it is the demon that Soma defeated... my Lord said that Soma knows the demon without having to ask anyone. If you ask me, some of the stories you told me about the devil came up."
"-"
Turning her gaze reflexively, Eleonora was grinning.
That deep grin shows that there is something out there… in a sense it means as it is.
Moving his gaze straight to Hildegardo, he was staring at Eleonora as if he was just biting.
"You......!
"Oh, what's wrong? I just taught you generously not to waste your time, didn't I? Do you say... Mr. Hildegard is the one who didn't tell me why? I'm not gonna tell you I didn't realize that, am I?
"Oh, that's..."
"... Hildegard?
"... he's right. Demons are the kind of 'demons' you know, if you say so. Well, with the array you just defeated... perhaps the demon you defeated before is also inferior if you try to be a demon, and the demon you've known for a long time is superior."
- Demons.
That existence, indeed, Soma has known for a long time.
I only saw it once.
That guy who thought he was a teacher on his own argued... he's the one who killed that guy.
Since then, Soma has never seen the existence of a demon.
Because the devil was a terribly rare being, one that emerged once every hundred years or not.
But it was therefore powerful, and even the sword saint and the personage bestowed his life at the stake to defeat it.
Soma was never aware of its existence because she simply couldn't help but be aware of it.
Already it itself is defeated, even if other demons appear it is a hundred years later.
Furthermore, the Dragon God is above us in terms of pure combat ability.
I didn't have to worry about it.
Yeah, but... if there's a homogeneous presence in this world, and it's rampant...
"Hmm... I see you've apparently had to listen to 'the story'"
"... I guess. That's why I didn't want to say..."
Well, I'm not saying I don't know how Hildegard feels.
This is sentimental if I say so.
It's something you don't need to do.
But... I remember forgetting something.
Then there couldn't be anything I could do, other than go get it back.
"... you're welcome. So, are you going back first? I have a few things to do here."
So Soma nodded back in silence to the word.
