320 - - The Empire

Galahad looks at me like I'm a fool.

For some reason, Cal, who is still standing next to me, says, "I don't know.

Answers to Camilla's and Eagle's questions.

Galahad will get into it, but Patoka was exchanged, but his name is gray because of the event (no contact) period, so it would be difficult to say that he has exchanged it.

The mail was sent as a normal taget since I was nearby. I have also rejected the exchange of patoca and the dialogue and mail with those who have not exchanged patoca, so I cannot receive the mail. Maybe Christina has the same setting - no, she did receive my e-mail because it was not returned to me.

Cal asks.

Galahad says, "I shifted my body a little and peeked at the player's battle from behind Cal's back, and his body went from humanoid to fluffy!

Kal looks at Galahad with a smirk, and Galahad is at a loss for words at the look in his eyes.

<>

>

I look away.

>

I look away even more.

I look away and see serious faces. If we go to the empire, we will have to fight against the upper echelon of the outer body because Tamamo is there. The knights standing in front of me, as well as the princes and those in a certain position, are watching the battle and discussing how to deal with the situation without taking their gazes off each other.

Galahad nods deeply.

When I answered Camilla, Eagle asked me with a straight face.

<>

Funny, huh?　The other guys are seriously watching and analyzing the battle, while my party is more like my coping mechanisms.　I heard that Cal was blocking me from seeing him, but I wonder if the topic of revealing to Christina that we are the same person was also to distract her from the battle.

I don't need you to be so careful. I don't think I've been in a battle with Fluffy either - the wolf in the Fast Forest was the last one. ....... I'm not sure if that wolf was fluffy or not. And the griffin that Roy and I beat?　Huh?

Roy and his friends are in the alliance of the battle with the outsiders. If you look at the battle seriously, is Elias there too?　There are some heavily armed fighters, including some with big shields, and some in flashy party outfits. Maybe there are some oatmeal, but it's chaotic and hard to tell.

Kal and the knights who had formed a wall alongside us opened the space between us so that we could see them. Don't worry, I'm cool.

Someone makes a big move and my body screams. I get smaller and smaller as my body wraps around it. I thought it would turn into hair, but it turns into an orb that looks like a pink peach. I guess they are called "Nyoi Bouju," or pearls with a pointed top. For some reason, a pedestal also appeared.

"Oh, wow!　We won!"

"Good job!"

"I like the reward!"

"Can someone please trade me a fin for something?　I can't wear this, man!

"Oh?　If you touch this, you get [Inclination Disable]!"

"Oh, it's against the body!"

"Why don't you just use at the general store?"

"Say <> or <>, or the priests will smile at you."

What!　I'm not sure what you mean by "leaning invalid"!

>

I feel safer in many ways.

Why no response from Camilla and Cal?

"The effect is ten days. It's loose, but it's a time attack."

.......

I want to rid the world of time attacks.

"Christina, His Majesty and Lord Ardivance have asked to come to the other room."

The first prince's chamberlain overheard the prince, and the prince told Christina.

The king and some of his men were escorted out of the hall in the event of a battle. I think it is safer here with so many knights and Cal, but I guess that is the procedure in case of emergency. The first and second princes are here too, and it is not good to have so many royalty gathered here.

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lengard.

Christina thanks him once more and leaves the hall with her attendants.

"I am sorry for the ugliness I showed you at the banquet before the war. I am confused by what I have discovered. I will apologize and thank you again.

"Don't worry about us. We'll make it fair."

The first prince bows silently to me and leaves the hall.

I wonder if it was right for me to sit there and accept his apology.

Returned to the general store.

"It was too much trouble!　And I can't eat!"

After all, I only drank tea.

"The food is better in Homura, so you don't have to eat that."

"It's very elaborate, though."

Eagle shrugs at Galahad's words.

"I wish I could have danced with Homra."

I should at least learn to waltz."

I have a feeling there will be a celebration party if we win.

Shall I teach you?

I'll ask you after the battle of the empire."

I'd like to learn from Camilla anyway, but I guess women and men have different parts. Cal seems to dance gracefully in practice.

"Welcome back!"

"Welcome home."

I hug Lapidus and Noel who come running to me.

For the main course, we had three whole roasted golden-headed chickens, since roasting them was part of the party's menu. A salad of shrimp and avocado with mayonnaise, using a large tomato as a container. A Caesar salad of romaine lettuce and arugula topped with croutons and a half-boiled egg. Two kinds of pizza, three kinds of sausages, four kinds of pintxos, roast beef.

Lapidus and Noel knew we were at the party and couldn't eat, so we decided to make party food.

We toasted with wine and grape juice.

"Hey, I'm going to break up the bird!"

Galahad then dismantles the whole roast so that it is easy to eat. He separates the thigh from the wings and deftly removes them with a knife inserted into the belly.

"Oh, it's delicious!

The skin is crispy and the inside is moist and juicy.

It was worth the trip.

"Thank you."

I thank Cal, who smiles at me. The golden flower chicken came from somewhere Cal had caught it.

"Lord, it's delicious!"

"Lapidus likes this."

The two children loved it.

"The pizza is good, too."

Camilla eating a Mochi Mentaiko pizza. The other pizza is a quattro cheese pizza with honey, which Eagle likes.

While I was eating a sorbet after dinner, Christina replied to my text message. She said that she had read it because the sender was Homra (me) and that she was surprised to see me at the party. As for the fact that I was a lenguard, she replied that it was too late and that there was an inscription on the pendant, so she did not seem to connect me with the lenguard at the party.

Finally, he said that he wanted me to meet him at <> after the battle of the empire. Is it a flag that a woman asks me to meet her before the battle?　Is it weaker than "I, when this battle is over ......"?　

I can revive myself in the temple even if I am disabled in battle, but for the residents, their lives are at stake. It is a brief peace before the war.

A few days after the party, the first battle is about to begin in the hunting grounds of Parthin. The two camps facing each other across the dry river are five times the number of each other.

The other camp is larger in number and seems to be more bloodthirsty. So far they are well organized, but as an army they are a hodgepodge. Well, maybe not quite a hodgepodge, since it consists of the Isle's national army, a small army of cooperating nations under its leadership, former knights of the empire, and adventurers. It is to be expected that adventurers would be left out of the leadership.

We watch it from the sky for a while. As in the big battle, Kal and Galahad are on horseback on the left and right. After the first battle in the wilderness, they will go their separate ways.

It's not Tamamo's fault!　The emperor is in the capital and Merlin is in the forest tower. It seems that the emperor, who has not been seen for a while, has come out, but the prince has disappeared from the capital instead. I am checking to see if he is in the tower with Merlin.

I am after Nue, and if it comes to it, I will try to move him by using the effect of [Arbitrator]. Since I have never used this title before, I will first sneak into the temple of the empire and open the transfer gate. I'm supposed to work with Peter, though he hasn't come yet.

I'm not busy right now, so I bury my face in the white body.

>

>

Oh, it feels so good. The bliss of burying my face in the white belly with the whiskers.

"Ah, Master Lengard is saddened by the strife!"

A cry goes up from the camp below.

"No, it is mourning the death of an enemy who has already been set down!

A new voice continues.

Huh?

"Hey, I think you've been misunderstood.

Galahad immediately understands that it is a misunderstanding. He doesn't know what he has been misunderstood, but he is sure that it is a misunderstanding.

"Lord, do you have a mystiff in your hand?"

"I'm at ......."

White should have disappeared, but Cal seems to know.

"Homura ......"

"Let's weigh in a little, shall we?"

Camilla and Eagle.

"I can't see white and I'm a little ......"

>

"That looks like you're looking at your palm and shaking your head.

White stops me, Galahad explains, and I reluctantly give up the swing.
