Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

296 Formerly The Strongest, Explain The Situation

Aina, who walked right in front of me, knew why she was angry, but she was staring at Soma.

But whatever it is, Soma doesn't know why Eina's angry, and she doesn't even know what it is.

Though I would consider if Aina would have done something that would make her angry, if that had happened, she would have been angry at me then.

It has not been a month since Eina and I last saw each other in the first place, even though we wondered if something would have happened while we had not met.

There was still nothing more to think of than not remembering doing a big thing.

The conclusion is that I don't remember doing anything particularly offensive.

"I mean, I just find it a little too unreasonable to be angry just walking along the side of the road...?

"Yes......? What are you talking abruptly about?

That was a dialogue over here.

It was Aina who shouted, "Why are you walking here?"

The same eye returned to the astonishing gaze that could be directed at this one, but shortly afterwards a sigh of fright emanated from the neighbour.

"No... I think this place means the Holy Capital, doesn't it? Then you know what I mean, right?

"Mm...? Why would I be pissed off just walking around the Holy Capital, is...?... No, not particularly?

"You... that would be just Akan. You disappeared from there without a word to anyone, and you came here? You didn't forget that, did you?

"Remember... you did go to explain the matter, didn't you? He came right back, so I don't know how far he explained it."

"Uh... I did go back once, but that didn't just correct my mistake, did it? I'm not explaining the situation at all."

"I think it's you who should be pissed off, not me?

Sure, Soma doesn't explain his current situation, but that's because he didn't have time for it.

But Hildegard did not explain that he had time.

Then it would be Hildegard who should be pissed off.

"No, I didn't have time for that either...!? I didn't care what you could see while I was gone...!

"In fact, nothing happened. Instead, there was no indication that something would even happen. You think too much, or the earliest paranoia."

And, saying that to each other, he now sighed from the front.

If you turn your gaze, if you notice, there is no anger in its eyes, and it is frightening to be floating all over it instead.

"Ha... Something's already ridiculous all at once. Looks like you're the same... or wasn't you declared war by the Empire?

"Hmm...? Oh... Is that what you mean if you're walking around like this?

"What else could there be in this situation?

That said, Jito. Even if I can turn my eyes, I shrug my shoulders.

Apparently, earlier words meant that the Empire was waging a fight, but what a smooth walk around the city.

You are right, if you ask me.

Whatever the true meaning of the Empire, it is not the Holy Capital that is being targeted, but Soma.

If it was meant to be, you shouldn't be walking away with caution.

But...

"I was curious that there was no change in the state of the city, but it didn't come to the idea that my senior wouldn't walk in the first place."

It was unmistakably genuine and true.

Or, instead of coming up with it myself, I've never been told by my surroundings.

Hildegard was also next door, nodding, saying things like that.

"Sure, if you think about it normally, you're targeted, so you shouldn't be walking. It's no surprise the Imperial people are getting mixed up if they're really after you. Well, I don't think you can handle it, and I didn't come to that idea because I thought so unconsciously."

"... you're getting really stupid already.... Well, I hope I didn't come here just to see how you were doing"

"Hmm... it's not just that, which means that's one of the purposes, right? Does that mean Eina came all the way to the Holy City worried about me?

Asked tilting her neck, Aina looked away softly.

It is not my fault that those cheeks appear to be slightly red stained.

"... Speaking of which, even more so now, is it okay with you that the Empire is talking about a true demon king?

"I just don't think it's possible to change the subject?

"Well, it was definitely a blatant way of talking about it, but you don't condone it either. You could've just ridden there in silence."

"That's okay......!? I mean, you say you have other business...!?

"No, there may be other business, but is it also true that you were still worried about my senior year? Then it doesn't feel bad."

"Huh... you really are already...!

That said, Aina stares, but she lacks the power to remain even more red-dyed cheeks.

I'm just telling the truth in the first place, so I don't have any muscles to be stared at.

I shrugged my shoulders... and turned only to my face at the gaze I felt from next door.

"What's wrong?

"Mmm... I don't know what's going on, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but you obviously don't think you and Aina have the same attitude? Instead, I'm the only one who's too different."

"It's not your fault?

"It's definitely not my fault...! You would have reacted very differently if you had spoken the same dialogue as my current Eina......!?

"Hmmm...... sure would be. But that means I'm treating you special, right?

"... hmm?... Isn't that a special treatment?... my?

"It is"

"... then there's nothing wrong with that!

"For what I'm hearing from the side, it just seems like there's a problem... well, if you're convinced in person, it's not about pinching your mouth. And more importantly, you haven't answered my question just now?

"The question just now......?

And even tilting my neck, I immediately wonder what it was about.

Is it Soma that the Empire is after, or something like that?

Sure, I hadn't answered yet.

"Oh yeah, probably in my lifetime"

"Probably...?

"I wasn't nominated by the Empire. Given all the circumstances, I don't doubt it first."

"Oh, you know what?... I'm also concerned about the various circumstances, but I think we should do this first."

"To do, is it?

"Speaking of which, you came here on business. That means something happened at Radius... no, it doesn't seem like Radius."

"So, I guess"

Soma nodded at Hildegard's words not because he knew something, but because of where the Somas were now.

No, more precisely, where Aina came from, should I say?

As I said before, when Soma comes to the Holy Capital, he uses the western gates.

That is, from the Sacred Capital, Radius is located to the west, and if you want to come to the Sacred Capital from Radius, you will still come from the West Gate.

But Aina came from the north.

Regardless, there is no way out of Radius once to the north and from there to the Sacred Capital, but then it gets a long way off.

More than that... especially considering that it's Aina, we should consider another possibility.

This means that it came from a country other than Radius.

"... you're as sharp as ever. Well, if it wasn't something else to hide, I hope I didn't mean to."

"Hmm, that still means..."

"- Yeah. I'm not from Radius, I'm here in the Holy Capital as a messenger of the Kingdom of Dimension (...)"

So Eina shrugged her shoulders.
