Return journey to the Royal Castle.
"Pana, get in touch with Mari.
Tomorrow evening. "
"Yes, I'll get in touch with you right away... no problem, I hear."
She wants you to come at about 5 pm. ”
"I understand.
Ah, I have to get permission to stay out. "
Is it Takeo's?
"No, I... eh?" Do you need it?
Do you want to talk to the maid later? "
Takeshi comes out thinking about it.
Takeo, what kind of unit was that?
The rain is coming.
Huh? Troops?
"Yes, sir."
There was the same painting in your Majesty's room, right?
I saw it when I went to the general's room in the Royal Guard.
It was the same thing, right?
The rain is coming.
Rack-san?
Takeo looks at the rack with a smile on his face.
"I don't know! I don't know!
More than that, the sigil in the General Secretary's room belongs to the Royal Guard.
That would be in His Majesty's office. ”
Where was the painting in His Majesty's office during the rainy season?
"It's the shelf behind your Majesty's desk."
It was decorated with various paintings. "
... and the sigils of the 1st Knights, 2nd Knights, and the Royal Guard?
Is that the one in the other room?
... nh... I didn't notice... "
Rack thinks and says.
Where was the rain in that room?
"The base of the leg of the Bassett chair that Takeo was talking about."
It's this big. ”
Seasonal rain represents the size of the thumb and index finger.
"... it's small."
Is that the base of the chair? "
"Yes."
That's why I thought you were from the unit, right?
Was that wrong? "
The rainy season asks Takao.
Rack-san.
Takeshi's face turned to the rack again, but it was his true face.
"I... I'll look into it.
The seal of the Royal Guard is not so easy to put out, but... "
Then you're inside yourself, aren't you?
No... I've heard that... I think it's only my place...
Takeshi looks at the rack with his own face.
“We'll look into it and let you know during your stay.
So keep this a secret. ”
"Well... if the royal castle is breathing, that's reassuring."
If the Royal Guard is involved, will you pass on the information there? "
"If we become the Royal Guard that we don't know about... third information?"
The rack murmured.
"Third information?"
"Ahhhh..."
"Um... confidentially."
"Ugh... please don't look at me."
It seems that the 3rd Intelligence Squad is a unit that goes to collect information regardless of aristocrats or merchants...
"Ah, are you a detective?"
It's not strange to be here, if you want to get information, it's someone from the nobility, and I can somehow tell from these pleasant city relationships. ”
Takeo said, "Well, I was thinking of asking you to do something similar." I resumed walking while thinking.
"Don't tell me I leaked it."
"I won't tell you.
There's nothing you can do about it. ”
"Because I think so, Lord Kitamizato?"
"Rather, I would like to ask you how the idea of not being is going to come to an end."
Well, I know it's hard to get into a small place like my place or Lord Alderson's place.
But just because it's hard doesn't mean you can't put it in. "
I think you're also at Lord Kita Mizato's place.
"I'm fine, but I'm letting Meyer write a report for you."
Huh? With the life of Lord Kitamizato?
“Yeah, well, Meyer told me to look at it for now, but I'm just checking to see if it's true.
I have asked you not to write anything dangerous that you can't report at this stage. "
Is it quite dangerous for Lord Kitamizato and Lord Meyer to refrain from reporting?
"Well... if you interpret it badly, the country will perish, and it will develop into a civil war in Japan."
"It's a big problem, isn't it?"
"Right now, I'm doing research and checks here... so I'm laying low for a while.
I will report to His Majesty when I am in a position to do so.
In addition, as your Majesty, I am satisfied that you saw and heard this meeting with the Demon Kingdom. "
Satisfied?
"Yes, to the point of throwing a soft voice down on a desk."
"... thank you very much."
"I got a little load off my shoulder.
If possible, I would like to lower them all, so I would be grateful if the Foreign Affairs Bureau could get on board as soon as possible. "
"The Foreign Affairs Bureau is now the main battlefield in the west."
You'll have to wait a little longer. ”
Rack says.
Do you have Mr. Rack's report?
"I am going to the general secretary."
Well... I think the content is lighter than that of Lord Kitamizato. "
"... how do you see Viscount Fallon's realm?"
"Hmm... you didn't have to worry about it."
I think I've done too much.
The guards over there were doing a good job. ”
"... what about the threat level?"
"Whether it's rising or not... it's difficult.
I made it a place where I hadn't crossed the border before.
We'll see what happens next time. ”
Rack says.
"Next time... hey."
That's what Takeo said when he looked up at the sky.
