Episode 57

“Did you sleep well, Rocks?”

messy blonde hair. Sparkling amber eyes. I saw the same scenery as before I closed my eyes.

No, only one very big one is different.

“good morning!”

It was bright outside the window when the surroundings were a little bright.

“Could you really be by my side all the time?”

“yes!”

“Have I ever said something strange?”

“yes? I don’t know? Anyway, I fell asleep soon after. I didn’t do anything!”

“okay.”

“I didn’t do anything!”

“Why do you say it twice? anxious.”

It’s not because I fell asleep, but because I passed out. I’m glad if so

I sneakily checked my clothes. There was no particular change. Haha, Maria must have been watching.

I struggled to get myself up.

“What time is it?”

“It’s 10:10 am.”

“… … this.”

I’ve been asleep for too long

Wirain goes to the Magic Society during vacation, so he is not in Summer Turge.

It’s been a while since I left at 10 o’clock, so I’m going to put off asking about fairies.

No, let’s think positively. What happened immediately comes first.

“Where are you going?”

“I was going to go.”

“Anyway, Rox won’t rest even if I tell him to. I wish it would stay like this… … .”

“Then I should just be like this today.”

My body was still heavy, so I laid back the body I had raised. The child next to him flinched in surprise.

“Ugh.”

“why?”

“I-I thought it was unexpected?”

“Then let’s slowly think about the future.”

“Ah, it’s not surprising… … .”

“There was a war. majesty.”

“Okay, okay.”

He was a child with a blatantly disappointed voice. The accident is you

An ultimatum to refuse surrender and surrender all original texts.

The original text is the very reason that Liden has survived. All that remains is war.

No matter what anyone says, this can only be seen as the depravity of a powerful country. I didn’t make Rongrult into such a country.

“You must have an idea.”

“Um, but I’m worried. I haven’t been to Jedo yet.”

“You didn’t stop by the imperial family and returned right back to Summer Turge?”

“Hehe, I want to talk to Rox first.”

“What am I… … . No, good job. Yes. Whoa.”

“Is not it?”

OK. They say that they had a big accident, so they rushed over and reported it.

On the other hand, he is making an expression asking for praise, but I want to pinch his puffy cheeks. I’m so pretty I’m dying

… … but i really want to die

“You must have thought of something.”

“I plan to ask Mashu to clear the way externally, but if they prepare for an all-out war, they will send a court wizard to the East Sea of Enpyrian. All three.”

“Breaking the treaty.”

Wizards of 8 stars or higher are required to sign a treaty stating that they will not participate in any war activities.

It is similar to nuclear weapons.

A court mage is such a being.

“Who can say what? We are full of justification. Should I just blow up one or two cities on the Handen Peninsula?”

However, as is the case in reality, if the strongest country, Rongrult, breaks the treaty with its own justification, there is no country that can check it.

This is not good.

No matter how hostile they are, they are saying that they have no qualms about killing civilians.

“What is the exact purpose? You don’t need land, do you?”

“I was proud of myself. You ignored me in front of me, and you arrogantly judged the value of the theory Rocks created.”

“They are pure bad guys.”

“right!”

The child nodded vigorously.

Saying things like causing a war just that much isn’t much help to the child.

For Ai-nim, that would be his everything. So, for now, take sides.

“Still, you have to be careful. majesty.”

“Riden is still threatening the Empire? I don’t know what else he will do if left alone.”

“You are right, but what I am concerned about is a problem that will arise regardless of whether the war is won or lost. This is unknown anywhere.”

“Another thing only Rocks knows!”

“uh… … . It’s not even like that.”

“Nope. Keep talking.”

It is information that can be heard from Coltman when the seventh episode begins, but the existence itself was discovered a long time ago.

“A long time ago, a dead body of a monster was found in Mashu. They came to sell it to our manor because it looked strange.”

“Aren’t strange monsters common in the north?”

“That’s what got caught in the fisherman’s fishing net. I thought it was a tuna because I caught it in the eastern circle, but when I looked closely, it had limbs attached to it.”

“A monster that lives in the sea?”

“Yes.”

marine monsters.

They are the essential reason for the crisis of the northern wall in the eighth episode, and at the same time, it is the starting point for all countries except Rongrut to go through the process of collapse.

“I haven’t heard of it. Shouldn’t that be reported? It might not have been known in Mashu because the royal family was like that.”

“The report was posted. However, I received an answer that an investigation would be conducted if additional findings were found, but nothing more was found.”

“Does that have anything to do with the war?”

“That fish-like monster was frozen and stored, but it felt uncomfortable, so they dissected it on their own.”

It can be obtained by digging for information while progressing through the seventh episode, but this is relatively recent.

“I was carrying an egg that was about to hatch, but the one inside the egg was strangely different. The limbs have grown a little longer, and the swim bladder has degenerated and become smaller.”

“… … When exactly was it first discovered?”

“It was 10 years ago. There must have been a movement in Riden as well. Don’t you know Maria?”

I turned my gaze to Maria.

It seems to be there, but it is a reliable attendant who always guards the child’s side.

“Yes. They seem to be stationing wizards little by little towards the coast.”

“I mean, they say that the pirates of Mash are rampaging and strengthening the maritime security, but no matter how Riden is, a wizard is precious. Are you even going to mobilize a wizard for such a thing?”

That makes sense.

In a situation where the country was pushed to the brink of collapse, not a few people became pirates using Mashu’s advanced shipbuilding technology.

But they are very ordinary people. On the other hand, wizards are basically one-hundred and very rare.

Even for Mashu, monsters are constantly pouring down in areas bordering the Neutral Zone.

Even the empire is in trouble because of the sudden increase in monsters this year, but when Riden sells, he steals the wizard for good? What would have been enough to have just enough articles?

“You’re treating someone like an idiot.”

Maria nodded slowly.

“It wasn’t even a show to save face. They said they had already begun deploying mages on the coast since last year.”

This conclusion can only be completed when the information obtained from Ainim’s attendant, Maria, and the strange and unexpected fish story are combined.

The silent child opened his mouth.

“At most there are two of us, and we talk about random fish. I thought you hated being with me.”

“It can’t be.”

It is a pelagic ocean east of Mashu, and is a warm current fishery including tuna.

If it’s the source, it’s close to Liden, so Riden must have been attacked by marine monsters long before Mashu.

“Leeden tried to swallow Mash.”

Riden, who still has room, can deal with it, and Mash cannot.

Riden intended to wait until Mash collapsed before absorbing it.

It is all thanks to Liden’s support that Mash has been maintained since the monster invasion eight years ago.

Having already signed some treaty with the king whose taste is gone, there is a justification for taking the land, argues Rieden.

There was no reason to stop Rongrut.

“But Your Highness, Riden is misunderstanding.”

“At what point?”

There are wizards that fly, but none that go deep into the sea. Even a water magician has no way of knowing the circumstances of the deep sea.

Linden is arrogant.

absurd enough.

“That, how do you know if you can stop it or not?”

When the existence of the sea monster is revealed, Liden declares that he will support Mashu as he does now.

Rongrult, who is busy preparing for the northern wall, does not send support to Mash.

After that, Riden would deliberately delay the promised support and plan to swallow Mash, who had suffered massive damage.

Arrogance causes anger.

“You think you can’t stop Rocks?”

“You will definitely get angry.”

“Hmm.”

“In the North, when a new type of monster is discovered, the alert level is immediately raised to the maximum. There can be no way that the guy who emerged through the rough ecology was an ordinary guy. The sea, where you can’t even see the bottom, is terrifying.”

Indeed, Liden can’t properly stop even the sea monsters in his home country.

It’s not intentionally sending support late, but there is a situation where you can’t send support at all.

What about Mashu?

What was meant to be half ruined is completely shattered.

At this time, Rongurt urgently sends reinforcements, but at that time, a large group of monsters pours into the northern barrier.

Here are three conditions to go to the happy ending.

1. Of course, at the same time as defending the northern barrier, 2. Mash must never perish, and 3. We must tell Enpirian and Credia to prepare for the sea monsters by conveying this information.

By the way, even if you tell Areas, you don’t have to say it because it’s ruined.

That’s the eighth episode, ‘Crisis at the Northern Wall’. The word is the northern barrier, but in reality it is a crisis on this continent.

“Then what? Did I set a fire there?”

“Could it be the first library of the Sorcery Society?”

“yes.”

“No, why are you lighting a fire!”

“Because it’s fun… … . I’ll turn it off soon anyway!”

Isn’t playing with fire fun?

… … what. Are you kid?

Of course, even if I didn’t set fire, I can’t reverse the words of the child who came out as a representative envoy, but it becomes ridiculous to see the liver.

It would be quiet if the sea monster crawled out and hit Liden on the back of the head. Until then, you have to put up with the momentum.

“It’s not bad though. In preparation for an all-out war, asking Mash to clear the way can be used as it is.”

“Go to Mash?”

“It would be fine if you stick to it. Pretend something went wrong.”

Then, when the sea monsters attack, you just have to help Mashu with the troops. At least Mash won’t perish.

“Um, I have a question.”

Suddenly, Ainim paused uncharacteristically.

“Tell me.”

“Listening to Rocks, it seems that those marine monsters will attack Mashu at the ‘just in’ time.”

okay. The biggest problem is this

“Do you know when it might strike, Rox?”

When the monsters attack and how to prepare for them. have to believe

However, as in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞, it is close to impossible to provide a solid basis. All I can offer is a plausible situation like now.

It’s not another person, but a child, so I can’t convince you with that situation alone.

There is only one thing to lean on.

Reasons to make friends.

“If so, would you believe it?”

trust.

“yes.”

Ai nodded.

Frankly, I have to admit this.

I couldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for level 10 charm.

This was the overwhelming strength of Rocktrin, comparable to that of the main character.

“I’d believe you if I told you that Rocks was actually a woman.”

“Ugh. how to do that… … ?”

“uh… … ?”

“I’m kidding, Your Highness. Thank you for trusting me.”

Are you cheating on this?

I burst out laughing. Ai-nim was startled and uttered gibberish.

“All right! yes! Is that right? Because Obama did it!”

“What does His Majesty mean?”

“uh… … .”

“If it’s difficult for you to tell me, I won’t ask any more.”

That also bothered me a lot, but since Ai-nim didn’t ask me, I decided not to ask Ai-nim either.

“Anyway, yes. Then you can leave tomorrow.”

I’ll take a good rest today and start properly from tomorrow… … . not.

Still, resting alone is uneasy, so I should practice magic at least. There will be no one in the practice room.

“Um, that’s it. Rocks?”

As she rolled her fingers through the hair that ran down her cheeks, the child hesitated.

“Do you speak?”

“Hey, Rocks has to go too.”

“Yes? me?”

to the imperial family?

why me?

“Abama told me to bring Rocks as well.”

“Even if I’m doing something wrong… … ?”

worry precedes

I don’t have a chance to meet the emperor at this time. If it was Aindar Locke’s job, you could call Coltman, not a student at Summer Turge.

“Ugh, not like that. maybe.”

Swoop.

Ai-nim, who carefully raised her body, turned her head to the other side.

“Hon, Dam? Because?”

Hurry up. ran away

After about 10 seconds, I muttered in the room left alone.

“… … what?”
