253 New Hunch.

The coastal city of Strom houses a mansion owned by the Duke of Forth, who managed it until Ein arrived.

Smaller than Ein's mansion, but nevertheless convincingly spacious to hear it belongs to the Duke's house.

The location of the two is nearby, within 10 minutes walking distance of arrival and easy to get to and from.

- It's been a long time since I've had a mansion without a landlord, but that's up until today, too.

Like the Ains the other day, the servants of the Duke of Vols were busy working.

The letter had been delivered to the King's Capital by Martha, and within that day it had reached everyone's hand.

Duke of Forth, and Baron Crim's - Lady of.

The use of the castle took his feet and gave the two nobles a letter from Ain.

Two days after receipt of the letter, a reply is received from Ain.

A day later, two people came to Strahm.

Inside the mansion is still in a hurry. So, the three of us are in a garden in the Fouls family mansion.

It's a terrace seat set in the corner.

The tall trees were clear in bright green, illuminated by the glowing light of the morning.

"Aren't you both coming too soon?

"That's right. Oh, my God, I was finished by the day I got the letter. My mother told me to take the first flight in the morning."

Bats said.

"Actually, we had the same situation at home. My father was already home that day."

Continue and Leonard answers. But it's too soon.

I don't mean to be sorry, but I'm sorry I rushed you.

"But the next morning I came from the castle and His Excellency the Chancellor wanted to talk to me... so I came here again this morning."

"... well, suddenly I'm sorry. Looks like he was in a hurry..."

I no longer had to apologize.

I mentioned the two of them at the thought of it, because I never thought it would be an early action so far.

"I didn't say anything stupid. Hey, Leonard?

"I don't use words like bats...... if you dare to complain, it might smell like water"

The two laughed face-to-face.

That's a fun look to make fun of Ain as a friend.

"Aren't we friends we've learned together for six years? If Ein asks for help, he won't go astray."

"That's what happened. Because we're friends, you don't have to bother. Well, that's the one that's too reluctant."

"I mean, you mean regular bats?

"... Whoa, whoa, whoa. So that's rhetorical."

Then Ain also mixed up and the three of us laughed.

Appreciate your valuable friendship and immerse your heart in an irreplaceable relationship.

This situation reminds me of my school days when I think about it.

Ain, Leonard, Bats, Loran. It's the terrace seat in the dining room where the four of us were gathered.

What would be going on with the little bird that was feeding...... even reminds me of such a small thing.

It would have been more fun with Loran, I have to say.

"Thank you. I'm so glad you two came."

I expressed my sincere gratitude to both of you.

Bats laughed high and Leonard just smiled softly.

... Then Leonard suddenly changed his expression as if he remembered something.

"Dear Ein. This is from your father."

"From the Duke of Forth...?

Thick envelope removed from nostalgia. It's official, sealed with melted gold.

When I received it from Leonard, I opened the seal after giving it my eye.

"Hmm? Leonard, what is that?

"Father said it was in return for a souvenir (...) I had previously received. and."

"Souvenirs......? What, Ein gave you souvenirs?"

"Bats, you were there, weren't you? It's about the day you suddenly came to my mansion."

Like normal friends, we just go to the other person's house to play - there used to be.

In doing so, the Bats took white bison meat as a souvenir.

Ein had also cooperated with Warren or handed him fraudulent records and other items as a souvenir.

The return of the Duke of Forth is about that.

"I miss you. Was that quite a while ago?"

"Oh, we're grown up too - I mean"

Hearing a lively conversation, Ain took out the contents of the envelope.

If you look through the letters that come in the first line...

"In certain chambers of commerce, as well as between certain nobles… more than a certain flow of funds…?

"There is a summary of the kina smell. Father said he had a few things to worry about since Father was in charge."

There is no reason to pick it up, just a little disturbing to overlook.

There was such an incredible flow of gold.

"There are also a number of chambers of commerce with influence in large cities. There were some rare names there…"

Leonard speaks with a bitter, seemingly painful face.

There was a culture called "The Dragon Faith - and the mighty Dragon Nation has those who worship it as the incarnation of God. There seemed to be their name in the disturbing stream of gold."

"I've heard that too. Divided into several factions, some hard-line. Be merchants, be aristocrats, dragon believers there are quite a few of them... you've heard of them from your father"

Bats opens his mouth with a translation face, but what a pain in the ass.

"Bats, what do you mean?

"There are not so many dragons in this day and age, but there used to be so many dragons like sea dragons... so there's a faction."

"... Bats was right, and there are a few factions in that sense"

Leonard with his head covered. Oh, my God, you're so full of shit.

"What I'm about to tell you is nothing more than a legacy… there is a presence called the Red Dragon"

Have the heat to exhale just enough flames to dissolve the rocks and also evaporate the sea.

They Red Dragons love treasure. He said he would melt the gold and soak it like a bath.

You don't seem to get along with the twins... Ain laughed.

"That Red Dragon flame is a holy flame that purifies everything. What insistence."

"... unscrupulous"

My mouth was not blocked by the impossibility of the reason for my faith.

Continue, Bats opens his mouth,

"So the people who believe in Red Dragon were a little troublesome, but I don't know what it means to be healthy by now."

Ein agreed.

I don't see how that name came up on the table now.

"I have no idea what it's all about, either. Assuming they were doing kina smell, what's the purpose? I feel like it."

I think about it with a wrinkle between my eyebrows, but I was under the impression that it was because I believed in that red dragon.

From there, I don't see how criminal behavior can connect.

... Then Leonard said something new.

"There is a continuation to the inheritance. Immersed in gold, the Red Dragon will dye the heavens black and sublime to the Black Dragon."

Ein just listens quietly.

I heard it was Black Dragon, and even if it was inheritance, I felt something I couldn't ignore.

It was noticed at the same time.

to the fact that working criminal activity to collect money may not just be for luxury purposes.

"such as the need to perform rituals using a number of ingredients (...) as well as gold"

"Well, in the end, you know the ingredients very well."

"I don't want to convince you, but Dasan is right about Bats. And just because the Dragon Faith is involved doesn't mean they believe in the Red Dragon."

Leonard rocked his shoulders to the left and right, expressing that confusion.

The terrace is set on a mild climate in the morning, but its conversation gradually turns into swordswallowing.

"Anything else you know?

Ain asked in a strong tone.

"Right...... they worship the Dragons equally. It's just that there's a special dragon clan among them."

Leonard answers in a hurry when he sees Ain asking impatiently.

"Surely, believers in the Dragon Faith had a way of calling it."

There was a name.

Leonard, remembered, opens his mouth and tells his name.

"Think of ourselves as dragon's inferior, lizards - infinitely colored lizards. They call it."

"Infinitely colored lizards?

"He says he uses the word infinite, perceiving it as one of the many dragons that existed. Naturally, not so many dragons."

I see. Ain't nodded.

But the way the faithful call it is not very preferable.

It is associated with the word infinite coloured lizard because it is not a very good impression.

Whether the group is really involved in a criminal organization in Strom… First, we need to do an investigation from here.

"I mean, that Red Dragon isn't alive now, is it? Then I don't think I can revive or do anything."

"You're right. So I don't think there's a black dragon line... but I can't close my eyes to what I'm doing."

Whatever the purpose, we just have to do an investigation to get a hold of that reality.

There should be no mistake in this policy, Ein recognises.

"I know this is going to be a very difficult investigation, but you both... are you okay?

"Don't be silly. My mother told me not to come back until I finish my mission or die."

"... in my case, give back to the hero who saved my country. It is said that Of course, I agreed without my father's words."

The two spoke of their reliance from school years, which strongly appeased Ein.

There was a sense of anxiety that it would not be dangerous, but it was more reliable than that.

"I can graduate and work with you so fast, so nothing more. Don't you, Leonard?"

"Oh, you're right."

"I'm sorry for the rush, even though you both had a job."

Bats should have a job as a knight and Leonard as a civilian.

But you two laugh off with the same, pleasant look.

"I'm a knight, so one word of Ein is enough, okay?

"In my case, the superior is my father, so this is fine."

"... as Prince Wang and thank you as a friend. Bats, Leonard"

- Thus, a new investigative team was born.

There are as few crew members as there are, but Ain himself guarantees its quality.

Marco will be the captain, and the three of them will work together to investigate.

In some cases, the investigation team must also be expanded.

I want to end my actions against criminal organisations soon. Thinking of it that way, Ain looked up at the sky and healed his eyes with bright blue.

"Well, let's just say we keep track of today..."

"Leonard. You, what are you writing?

Leonard opens a leather notebook and writes something down.

Look at him, Bats asked.

"I want to write a book sooner or later. for the day, I don't know... I'm just leaving a little something I wanted to write"

"Ho... So, what kind of book is it?

Then Leonard said.

I laughed invincibly and told him to love his life.

"Give me the country I live in called Ishtarika. And when it comes to the reign that Ein would -"

"Ha ha! That's good, then you'll write about me too, won't you?

"Unfortunately, don't write"

The three of them laughed about it.

Unfortunately, because Leonard seemed to have fun.

"Well, the future prime minister has something different to say."

"I'm going to be prime minister. How dare you. Don't talk lightly, Bats."

Leonard sighed loudly, chuckling bats.

Afterwards, Ain asks.

"So, what about the title?

"... Actually, I had something in mind"

And he looked embarrassed...... so reluctantly he spoke.

I answered with an anxious voice whether I could speak of this, but if I did, his voice was full of confidence.

Prince Wang (Ain) is called the Resurrection of the First King.

If I were to write about him, this was the only title on my mind.

"I'm thinking about making it a second Ishtal unification story -"
