Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

317 Former Strongest, Staying In The Imperial Capital

To be honest, I just wanted to say if it was sane.

I didn't say that though, because I didn't think it would just be a bad idea or anything, but I looked into its eyes.

Although it was still an eye that did not make me feel emotional, it would be easy to do so to the extent that I perceived whether it was sane or not.

As a result, it was another word that came out with my mouth open because I definitely felt sane.

"... is that a word you think my seniors could snort at all?

"No...? If so, it would have been easier for the concubine... well, there's no possibility of fine dust."

"I mean, I know it's not possible, but I said... is that what this is all about?

Normally, I would tell you that even though I don't expect to put my hands together, which means that it shows Kyoujun.

In short, it's coercive.

So it is only natural that Eina's atmosphere became noisy.

But.

"Eina, that's just short circuitous, or you're thinking too much in a noisy direction? Well, I don't know."

We are in the middle of an enemy line.

It's only natural to be wary if you don't know what's there, and it's not something you can do to make yourself feel better.

But if you get hit right here, that's a straight line of war.

"Nevertheless, I would like to confirm what you intend to do. … If you're really going to wage war now, it's not too rash to take it and stand."

"Hmm, that makes me happy... well, let's not. You can't involve all the people of the Empire in the idea of a concubine."

No matter what happens, I'm not going to miss every step of the way.

I was exploring how Victoria was doing with that intent, but there was no indication that it would even move at all.

When it comes to that, are you sure you're not going to have a fight or something...?

"Hmm... well, I don't think I can, but I really don't have anything else to do with today, do I? I want you to share the beauty of this country and join hands with them. That's all I wanted."

"... I'm not sure what you want to do from there. I thought you were working with the devil..."

"Yeah? We're in a formation, right? What's wrong with that?

"What's wrong... but why didn't you do anything about it?

Aina's swordswallowing came back to life once it was about to subside, but this time she didn't even intend to suppress Soma.

It's the same with Soma that I was surprised, and it's the same with increased vigilance.

Or was it a mistake over here to be working with the devil, or I thought... apparently that's not true either.

But then, it's just too puzzling.

"Well, now I still can't help but understand. But if you do, you must understand. At least that's what the concubine's convinced of, right?

With an emotionally invisible eye, Soma watched as she narrowed her eyes about Victoria speaking those words with a smile on her face unchanged.

For now, I only found out that Victoria didn't seem to be going to be immediately hostile with this one, but that didn't mean that the first problem would be solved.

I'm not talking about something fundamentally wrong or anything like that.

Another, fatal problem was discovered.

The problem is that Somas cannot return to the Holy City.

It's not about Victoria not trying to go home, it's about physics.

And it's also a time story.

In short, you had to walk home to return to the Holy Capital.

It's a natural story to take for granted, but given how the Somas came to the Empire, you'll also know that the obvious doesn't work.

But Victoria says it's totally one-way.

I can't send them back, and the only way back to where they came from is to go back on my own.

But it was almost evening at the end of the royal guidance.

The sun has now set, as it should be, and the book of the night has gone down.

It had to be said that it was not realistic to return to the Holy Capital now.

I don't care if it's a simple demonic threat or something, but I'm not alone in soma because I don't know geography.

Whatever you think, it was supposed to be this far, but if this happens, you just have to do what the other person thinks.

It was for that reason that Soma and the others decided to stay in the Imperial Capital.

Well, though, I could have read it if I said I could have read the developments so far, and I might have been a relatively better person.

Some of the things that Soma envisioned could be connected to a cabin.

Compared to that, they said they'd have a room, so it must be a lot better.

At least it's far better than being sent back as it really is.

"Rather than being sent back... why not? That's the best you can decide, isn't it?

And as we talked about that as we headed to the room that it was ready, Aina tilted her neck as she said so.

Indeed, that is not the right thing to say.

It is true that Somas are the best, given only their return to the Holy Capital.

But.

"That means you're free to come and go between the Holy City and the Imperial City, and you're allowed to come and go, right?

"... ah"

You realised the danger, Eina opened her eyes lightly and then blued her face.

Well, naturally.

That means you're free to raid the Holy City.

Needless to say how horrible that is, but Soma shrugged her shoulders.

"I told you? If that was possible. You won't have to think about it any more than you said impossible."

"... how can you say all that? You could be lying."

"It doesn't make sense. It's much more effective to show than to hide what's possible."

Though I do exhaust myself if I think it may be possible to raid at any time, that's all.

You just have to raid before you do such a long thing, and it's easy to shatter the morale of most of them just by showing that it's possible.

There's no point in laying low here.

"I mean, there's no way you can even be so pompous by forcing them to transfer in the first place. Or if there's something you're hiding, it can't be used for a while if you use it once instead of once."

"... Surely, it wouldn't have accumulated if they used a pompom that it would be a one-way street, would it? If Mr. Eleonora or something is brought in, that's all that matters."

"Well, actually, I guess not."

It's not a matter of not doing it, it's an impossible story.

Satya said that all outside interference is starting to play because the inside of the temple is completely under Satya's control.

And Eleonora is stuck in the temple just in case, so there's nothing we can do from the outside.

"... but think about it, how could it have been now?

"What do you mean?

"That's what if we transfer Soma after the war starts, and we're in a mayhem, right?

"I don't know what role my seniors are playing in the event of war... well, there will be a lot of confusion. But in that case, I feel like I'm just gonna call my enemies to my own ranks?

That's a big difference from suicide bombing.

Regardless, if we were to do everything knowingly, we would be prepared for it, but we are talking about whether we would bother to do something that, if we make a mistake, is only danger itself.

"Well, to be honest, it's indescribable, something like that. If they had done it during the war in the first place, they would have resisted normally."

"... Speaking of which, you seem to have noticed. Instead, why didn't you resist then?

"Simply put, I couldn't measure scale and influence."

"Size and influence?

For example, if you can randomly transfer not just the two Somas, but everyone around you.

Or, suppose the whole corner of the city is transferable.

It is also impossible to affirm that just soma is certain that it is possible to deal with it.

"It's hard to resist so badly and involve the irrelevant. It is the same thing that we decided to involve Eina as a result. It's not like he was going to miss it where he tried to get away. Instead, I thought I should have left it alone."

"Oh... that's what you meant by being apologized for then"

That's the thing.

I could have let Aina get away with it if I wanted to.

In terms of likelihood, it should have been more likely to have escaped as it were.

But I didn't think about it and let him get away with it.

"Then you don't have to apologize. That's where they told me to run, and I didn't think I'd follow."

"... is that so? So should I say thank you?

"I was forced to before they said anything, so that makes me feel weird, too?

"Yes, it is."

With that said, we somehow look at each other and leak a grin.

And so, yeah, you were still right to thank me, and I thought that.

"By the way, what are you going to do now?

"Well... as soon as it's tomorrow, is it something like that? They told me to stay here today, but they didn't tell me what to do tomorrow."

"Sure... so it would be premature to think about freedom."

Let's just say that we are going to collect information for once.

Soma and the others are being shown to the room now.

In other words, personnel exist for this purpose.

But I don't even show a bare gesture of caring about this one from earlier on, to see how you're just walking ahead pale, something like a thin hope.

Then we shouldn't do anything bad right now, we should wait for tomorrow.

Waiting for tomorrow to move now anyway, it won't make a big difference.

When we look at each other, and we share our will, we nod at each other.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I'll figure it out... and if it doesn't, I'll just let it.

Thomas exhaled one breath as he walked with Aina through the corridor of the castle, looking ahead.
