594 Temporary Peace
594 Temporary Peace
The sight that is spreading in the Wang capital seemed the same today.
There is a grin on the faces of the people who go out, and the square is filled with laughter.
Not yet compared to other countries, but it would be fine to say that they are still flourishing enough.
Compared to the sight I once saw, it was the difference between cloud mud.
"I think it's just too much to say that the sight we worked so hard on..."
Looking at such a sight and narrowing her eyes, Sophia zeroed her words instead of telling anyone.
I have a self-derision on that face because I understand exactly what I have done so far.
It is a fact that we have created this country.
But at the same time, it would be just too violent to bring them all together.
Especially what I've done, though it sounds good when it comes to defence, was essentially just pulling to the edge.
Klaus, who was still in small but repeated clashes with his neighbor, still doesn't remember Sophia having a contentious dispute with the Demons since she herself took up the position of Lords proxy.
Even though he was blinding himself to the Devil's Forest, he was just really shining.
All we had to do was precisely policing the territory, and it's only a natural job as a lord on that.
I didn't do anything I could be proud of.
It would only be a shameful story for me to say that I created this country, etc.
Not to mention the contributions I've made, etc.
"If you haven't been able to contribute, isn't that what I've been doing? How dare you tell me who you are?"
And if you turn your gaze to the voice that sounded unexpected, it's the face you saw there.
That figure, fully equipped and carrying a huge axe on his back, is not, in a sense, the outfit he deserves for this occasion.
But still, there is nothing hard about it, and even grandeur is just fine.
"Camilla... you were back"
"I followed you now, but..."
"Yes... so, what's outside?
"You're just like here. It was as peaceful as ever."
That said, shrugging his shoulders, Camilla stopped by and lined up sideways as she did.
Look out and narrow your eyes just like Sophia did.
"Hmm... that's just how I look. I mean, you look good?
"We're using magic. What have 'eyes' stretched around us. If you can't see this much, you can't be a watchman."
"Sure, so is that. I mean, you can do that, so you can contribute enough to this country?
"Even though I usually only use it in the realm? Besides, I still haven't been able to find anything, even though it's surveillance, so it's no use. Instead, I think you're more useful enough to look around."
"No, no, no, no, no. If it's helpful enough, we're not losing this one, are we? I've been looking around and I haven't found anything because it's the same here. One way or another, you're on top of the other because it's not actually working."
"No, you're better up there."
"No, you did."
"It's you."
"You."
If we noticed, we were staring at each other in such a way that we were confused.
Often we just look at each other's faces in silence... and then we erupt.
"... pup"
"Ha... what the hell, what kind of push?"
"Not at all..."
After laughing at each other the whole time about what we're doing, we turn our gaze out again.
What's there, after all, is a peaceful sight.
I guess you're not thinking about it, such as it might be threatened.
But that's fine, and it has to be.
To keep me at peace, Sophia came all the way to the King's Capital to give up half the Duke's territory.
"Nevertheless, I figured if nothing goes so far, I'd almost be under the illusion that it's actually peace itself."
"You're right only here. Instead, he often doubted it. Though there was a warning, you were anonymous, weren't you?
"That's what I hear."
Wang Du could be attacked.
It seems that was the first time in this case that the only warning text written was delivered.
Of course it is only suspicious, but the problem is that it was delivered directly to the king's bedroom, but also when the king was asleep.
There's a security problem, and if that's from bad faith, what should I have done directly to the king?
There's no point in purposefully choosing far-fetched means, and if it was from malice in the first place, what would you do by telling them that?
I was too suspicious to judge it as coming from good intentions... but the King's decision was quick.
For the time being, it was considered a fact, and a reconnaissance was sent out around the king's capital.
And in the village where the reconnaissance was conducted, he found that there was not one villager left.
At the same time, they released reconnaissance in all four locations.
You would be right to give up any further reconnaissance to the obvious anomalies and everyone opted for an immediate return.
That determined that the earlier warning was true, and even assumed that the bad guy was a shadow eater.
Besides, it was also at this time that I decided that there was likely to be more than one entity because of its size, and I sent a rescue call to the college.
By the way, Sophia was contacted in the early stages, and the reconnaissance was released at the same time, so we can see how heavily the King looked at the matter from the beginning.
"Thinking about it like this, you were right to leave the king to him."
"Right...... who else did it and I wouldn't have been able to make a decision so far, would I? If you look at the results alone, it is possible that the initial start-up could have been managed at the latest, but the target didn't move because the initial start-up was fast."
"Oh, I knew you thought there was something behind you, too, Couch."
"Of course, right? Too handy, too gorgeous. I don't know if it's really a shadow eater, but whatever it takes, it wouldn't be like this if you were moving as you please"
I don't know exactly what that is, but... it's what Hildegard is doing, and at least you'll know it before it's so far away when it comes to the bad guys.
If it's not like the opponent greatly exceeds Hildegard's assumptions, then so be it.
"It goes way beyond his assumptions, hey... I think that's what Soma has to show up for..." Speaking of Hildegard and Soma, I've been watching them hang out in college for a little while, you know?
"No? It's my first ear... but she's always been interested in him... or Iori, so it wouldn't be so strange to get along with that kid, would it?
"... is that all?
"That's all. What else is there?
"You got a lot going on, don't you? Look, can you do a cute son to Loribaba, or what?"
"You're not gonna tell me, are you? What do you think I am?
"I don't know what you're not saying...... chip"
"I mean, you've been saying about her for a long time, Loribaba, and now I think you do, too?
"What? Not at all. - And I'm racially appropriate."
"I'm not saying it's appropriate because I don't want to check..."
Exhale into Camilla, who is whistling a whistle that won't even blow as she looks in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
For some reason, Hildegard and Camilla have strangely mismatched their horses.
We were saying this to each other when it came to something, although not so much to the contrary.
I wondered if there had been a slight change in relationship since we started working together at the college, and apparently nothing had changed.
"I don't mind... I thought I got a lot of light on this one, but maybe it has something to do with the neighborhood."
"Uh... what do you think? If you ask me, I think it has something to do with it..."
"You're here right now, and in a way, that kid has something to do with it, right?
"What? No... it doesn't matter to him at all?
"Phew, yeah? … then I guess I'll leave it at that"
"... Shit"
Camilla herself would know very well what the truth is, though she turned away with the tongue punch.
Camilla is here, as you can see from being fully armed, for perimeter vigilance.
It was also to keep the citizens from wondering if anything had happened, and because they needed the right strength, they were called out in the same way as Hildegard.
But if it was Camilla before... if it was when I was in Sofia's mansion, I'm sure Camilla wouldn't have snorted at it.
Because there is a verse where I thought that even if I think of this country, I don't deserve to do something.
Most importantly, if it had stayed the same in the first place, it would not have left the mansion and gone to college itself.
And it goes without saying what became so in absentia.
"Niyaniya-san's... angry. I mean, no, not now, but you don't seem to really care about Soma, do you?
"Oh, talk about missing? Of course I care... about her. I'm sure he's doing fine."
"Oh yeah... I guess I'll be doing something again somewhere by now anyway..."
Sophia also shifts her gaze from the state of the city to the sky so that she can be a camilla with some distant eyes while loosening her mouth.
It's clear blue skies everywhere.
Whether you look below or above, what we have here is a sight such as peace itself.
I'm going to have the illusion that it's really like that, but it's not.
For sure, there is an imminent crisis in the Wang capital.
It should be... but I'm going to doubt that one of these days.
Before that happened, Sophia turned to the blue, clear sky to exhale such a great sigh that it did not deserve it, wondering if she could find any clue at Hildegard's.
