126 Brave or fighting.

It's been a while since Christa ran into the alley, already in the afternoon. The sky, which was clear, collapsed visibly as if to imply a crisis, it took thick clouds, and it is likely to cry out now.

Because of this, the Lephires returned, and Mizumings and Trinity were unexpectedly in the living room of the Eight-Key Mansion.

Io Kuzami opens his mouth in anticipation of being ready to talk.

"What the hell is wrong with getting together all of a sudden? I think we had enough yesterday.

……

Krista is turning a surprising glance at Io Kuzami, who represents a slightly dissatisfied attitude. He uses a magnificent tone, like Graziella, with his legs together. In the case of the Empire, I was dealing with Rui Shu and touched her somewhat as a person, so I guess I'm in the same mood as I was stuck with a fox. Everyone is being turned into a monster right now.

Either way, Trinity answers to her.

"Never mind about Mizuki. 'Cause there's a lot going on, and you just don't have the same personality."

"Oh, is that a little...?

"I just want you to decide... please"

Don't ask any more. Krista didn't ask any more of Trinity, who shook her head sideways like that. If a brave man asks you, can't you say anything?

Meanwhile, Fermenia opens her mouth if it's also something that bothered you.

"His Highness Graziella doesn't seem to be here..."

"Your Highness Graziella seems to be running some errands and will be late."

"Really?"

"You don't have to come"

Liliana answers the Fermenian question, and Refill throws up against her. I guess Graziella is busy being in her own country because she is an empress - but anyway, it seems that Refill still has his tail drawn about the other day. I inflate my cheeks every time my name comes up and I have a rejection.

I was about to start talking, and Trinity seemed to be onto something,

"You know, there's Mr. Krista, and it means there's no Elliot."

"Oh, we've already heard what's going on. They're going to explain it again."

As Shuiming urged, Krista, sitting in her chair, began to speak with a severely painful look.

"- It was about a week ago now. Elliot and I entered the Kingdom of Aste as planned for our condolences, but we entered the westernmost city of Kranto and were invited by the Duke of Hadrias through the Salvation Church."

Hadrias. The first person to react to that name was Titania.

"From the Duke?

"Yes, he wants to welcome you, so he wants you to come to the mansion."

When I hear that, I change the complexion of Trinity and Teatania. They had also arrived in the city of Kranto, and Hadrias called them, so I guess they thought this was something.

Krista continues the conversation.

"I was very tired that day, and Elliot took care of me, and Elliot was on his way to the Duke's mansion alone. But after that, Elliot will never return..."

"So I was wondering if something had happened."

"Yes, I visited what was going on through the Salvation Church, but Master Elliot was welcomed at the Duke's residence, and with a stiff feeling that he was on holiday, he could never get me inside."

The first question I asked Krista was Fermenia.

"Did you contact the Holy See about this?

"I did... but the reaction wasn't fragrant"

"Wasn't it fragrant? You mean the brave ones?

Titania answers Trinity's questions.

"The Duke of Hadrias sends a large annual donation to the Holy See. Therefore, it could be said."

"I see. So the rooting is already perfect. But why..."

Krista also gives a sinister look, as if she agrees with Trinity roaring with a rugged face.

"Yes, I don't know why His Excellency the Duke is detaining Elliot, and I can't help it..."

It lacks a decisive hand in stuffing the Duke of Hadrias. I guess that's cancer here. There is no harder way out than without clear evidence that we are doing harm to the brave.

I don't understand Hadrias' thoughts. As we all lean our necks against the surfaced mystery, it seems that Refill has an idea, and raises his hand a little from sitting down to the chair.

"Can I speak?

"Yes."

"Very recently, we also had a lot going on in brave association. Perhaps that's it?

"The brave ones, oh, the universal apostles..."

"So you're saying the Duke of Hadrias is chewing one on the people who attacked the brave men of the Union?

"It's possible, I can only say it's possible."

Between Refill, Shuiming and Trinity, Krista is decent that the conversation is going on on its own. Liliana starts explaining to her that she can't read from fragmented information.

"Not long ago, we went to the coalition, as I'm sure you know, but at that time, the brave men of the coalition were attacked by a group of people. The group called itself the universal apostle, and I don't know why yet, but it was trying to figure out the brave."

"... then he says that the Duke of Hadrias may also be granted to that population"

"At the moment, there's no one but the Demons to set up anything on the brave. Unless there's something else out there or Astel's trying to do something about it, it would be reasonable to think about it in conjunction."

Shuiming, who kept being made to lick bitter acids, roared with a bitter face as if she remembered the taste on her tongue.

Hadrias, the individual has some thoughts. There are other people trying to exploit the brave. There is no point in mentioning the possibility, but then it is more timely to associate it with the universal Apostle.

But it was not Titania who disputed the idea.

"In my personal opinion, it's hard to think that the Duke of Hadrias is conferring on the universal Apostle"

Listen to her words, Shuiming turns her eyes round.

"That's surprising. Tia doesn't like him either, does she?

"Yes, it is true that he is the opposite, but that man is a nobleman of his own country, isn't he?... and the Duke of Hadrias is your father's first loyal minister. It can't be that the heavens and the earth have turned upside down when that man serves you."

To Titania's assertion, a face that gives a surprising look. The story was pretty unexpected because he made it smell like he hated it every now and again.

In the meantime, Astel's human fermenia supplements as well.

"The Duke of Hadrias, with His Majesty Armadiyaus since his youth, has heard of you who have rushed through battlefields and political arenas. The trust from His Majesty is also profound, as is the loyalty of the Duke. Therefore, there is a story that Astel has been entrusted with all matters concerning the brave....... but in view of the situation, is it still a situation where we have to wonder about the Duke of Hadrias?

"Yeah. I don't deny that that man is up to anything, including this matter, in the movement of the brave, even if I skip out on his engagement with the universal Apostle. It must be all Astel's behavior. But."

That's what Titania starts to roar. Because of his personal assessment of Hadrias, and the tickle of his current behavior, I guess the trends ahead are as if unreadable and indescribable.

But it doesn't make sense to think that Elliot is solemnly acting on his own in this situation. It's not something I can be optimistic about, like, 'I'm fine' here.

Trinity opens her mouth as the living room fills with strange air.

"... apparently, now we have to go to Kranto City"

"Yes, you will."

"I'm not busy, but my fiancé is. I'll listen to you soon."

It was then that Trinity, Titania and Io Kuzami tried to reach an agreement.

"- No, let's have that wait"

Suddenly, the living room door opens in momentum. Seeing, at the entrance to the living room, stood Graziella in military uniform.

Flipping military uniforms and blonde hair, as usual, is prestigious. The surprise of the sudden revelation also took place, during which Shuiming turned a half-eye with accusations against her.

"You, on your own again..."

"This is my country. I don't care what I do."

"I don't mind! It's an invasion of privacy to come in here on your own!

"So don't use unconverted words. If you want to talk, speak with a concept that's in this world."

Trinity pinches her mouth when she sees that Shuiming starts yelling 'ooh' at the cursing crosstalk.

"So, what do you mean, wait?

"Oh, the demonic offense was confirmed in the north. If we keep this up, the Empire will be a battlefield."

As soon as Graziella speaks frankly of the situation, there are a number of sounds moving the chair. It was Titania and Refile who stood up.

Titania asks first as she seeps surprise in her expression.

"Your Highness Graziella, what is the size of the Demon Clan?

"I don't know the exact number, but I hear it's quite high. We will probably have to muster all the forces of the Empire to fight."

"So suddenly...?

Triju, who was listening, frowns. The offense is indeed abrupt. I wonder if his confusion will be dispelled.

But Shuiming had an idea that the Demon Clan would come with one hand.

"I see. The generals are being defeated, so they're going to roll back here."

The demons that Mizuminos have defeated so far are Rajas, Mauhario, and Vishudda. If you are not fighting for the brave and are doing so much damage, you will also be in a hurry with the demons.

And in an effort to rewind it, it was the Nerferia Empire that I saw.

The Nerferia Empire exists as the centre of the North with the Kingdom of Astel to the east, the Sardias Union to the west, the United Autonomous Province, and the country. A major impact called Qiudi (tickle). Because it is an aorta of distribution, if we are turned down here, distribution in the north will die. Its impact when the Empire is dropped is immeasurable.

But behind that idea of water, Graziella said,

"I'll tell you what, there's no backup from other countries"

"What does that mean?

It was the irreplaceable teatania that raised the question here.

There is also the aforementioned reason that Astel and Nerferia were originally allies, and it is normal to cooperate in these situations. But it is also an anomaly through inexplicability that cannot be taken for granted.

As Astel's princess, I guess I can't help wondering how to get out of my country.

"First of all, about the Autonomous Prefectures, but because we are sending reinforcements to the United North, we cannot send any more soldiers. As for Astel, there was a response from the late aftermath of the previous demonic offensive and future measures, as well as refugee reception from countries damaged by this demonic invasion, and the troopers were allowed to drop him off."

Hearing Graziella explain, Refill roars with a crease between his brows.

"I know what's going on... I don't know what to say, but don't try to get through that often"

Graziella replies to Lefir, who complains about the responses of each country.

"There's a reason for that. Haven't you heard the rumors that are spreading in Astel, in the Union, in the Autonomous Prefecture lately?

"Oh, rumors are that the Empire is boosting armaments and outsourcing. Liliana told me it was a deceptive manipulation... and that has something to do with it?

"That's right. He said he would be ready to fight the Demons in the Empire, and he wouldn't even put them in his teeth. What kind of nerves are you at all? I'm not talking about a faint sense of crisis."

Even though the Demons are imminent, we cannot set up a system of cooperation. In such a state of affairs, Graziella makes the color of disappointment look darker.

Meanwhile, Trinity turned her gaze next to him, who still didn't fall to her heart.

"Tia, is that an ant?

"Yes. The hand of abandoning the crisis in our allies is not something else strange. There can be no stopping the war more than we know the Demons will attack the Empire, so there will surely be damage that cannot be overlooked, both financially and militarily. Even if you give it as a problem afterwards, the damage will make it harder for the Empire to exercise its power against other countries."

"I guess as a neighboring country I'd be happy to see the expected decline in the empire's national power"

Graziella snorts uncomfortably. That grievance is not directed at Titania, I guess, because I understand that the reinforcement drop-off is something different from her intentions.

Shuiming leaves her body in the back of the chair, looking up to heaven.

"If the empire falls, I don't think the damage will be foolish."

"That's where I'm going to put it on, Suimei. What if the Empire were to fall into the Devil Nation and the countries around it would take the next step? In the great name of saving our fellow Demons, we will send our troops into the Empire to see if this is the case. If the Empire is in a state of falling, the Demon Clan is already exhausted in total force battle. You won't have anything to say, but you'll be able to do what you want."

"A little different, but around the total of two tiger food competitions...... Whatever it is, don't think bad."

"I don't know if it's really for those reasons, but it means I might be putting those thoughts around"

Teatania, who was listening to Refill, still seems to think it's impossible.

"It's still hard to imagine your father taking that kind of hand"

"Right there. His Majesty Armadiyaus would take the benefactor in this case. It's hard to imagine that he was pushed off by Congress."

"Either your father can't move as much as he thinks, or he hasn't communicated the information."

The former is unlikely, after Titania's words, that Graziella,

"- But that's why it's hard to fight with the Empire alone. Therefore, I hereby officially request the participation of His Royal Highness Titania, His Highness Fermenia and the Brave Reggie in the Demonic Interception from the Empire."

"I see, so you're saying, 'Let's have it wait'? If we pull it in, we'll have to help to a certain extent."

"That's what I'm talking about"

Sitting more and more on his chair, Graziella affirms Shuiming's answer. But...

"But then, Elliot!

"Let's have no choice. It is also important for us to know about Elliot the Brave. But if you don't join us, we're in trouble. Besides, they're not going to do anything about the brave right away."

"That's right..."

Krista is discouraged by her inability to install cooperation and discourages her from talking absurdly.

Such a consideration of her mood, Trinity raised her voice.

"Can you turn your hand from the Empire and do something about it?

"Even if I did about it, it would be in vain. The fact that the clergy of the Holy See came to us for help meant that the Holy See was of no use to us. Now that the Empire attaches great importance to its relationship with the Holy See, why not let it mediate in the intervention? Then it's better than empire."

Titania was ahead of Graziella's gaze.

"It's called muscle that I do something about. I get it. Let me admit to my father that the Duke of Hadrias was so hard to get out of here that he may have already lost it too late."

That's a natural concern to have. If the strategist is the opponent, it is likely that the measures taken are no longer available when they appear on the table. Even with the help of superiors from now on, we shouldn't get the results we want.

"Again, about you, Elliot..."

Is it behind you? I think of Elliot. I can't help but notice how Krista feels.

In the meantime, Io Kuzami seems to have objections,

"It would be my fiancée's decision not to go to the battlefield, I mean? No matter how many of you, if my fiancée says she's going, I can't ignore her intentions."

That's what I said to Trinity, "What do you think?" Turn your gaze with inclusions as you say. If Trinity does say she's going to help Elliot, now Graziella will have to persuade her to do so and overturn it. It makes sense.

On the other hand, Trinity II, forced to make a decision, often meditated and thought, and eventually the answer he gave was:

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Krista. I think fighting the Demons has to be a priority this time."

"... No, the Devil's Crusade is the true spirit of the brave. Thank you for that, and there's no reason to blame me."

"Yeah. Even if Elliot is caught, I don't think I can do any harm right away either. Let's do something about the Demons first, then go help them again."

They've settled. Both Titania and Io Kuzami have told us that they will follow Trinidad's intentions.

In the meantime, Fu and Trinity turn to the Mizumins. And

"What do the Mizumins do?

"Us..."

Either join the battle with the Demons or go help Elliot. Judgment in such cases is also difficult for Shuiming. The lack of a particular priority in this case blunts the judgment. In this case, as an individual, Mizumi would like to assist you because Trinity and Mizuki (body) are headed to a dangerous place. Of course, I owe Elliot something about Trinity, so I have absolutely no resistance to going to help.

"Hmm. Suimei, are you lost"

"Leffi, I'm sorry, but I need one more push."

Please raise your hand to Lephire's offer to detect stray. In times like this, her presence with the vessel of the general is appreciated. It's convincing and gives me a beautiful answer.

Being about the back length of an elementary school student, she keeps her body on her back and arms together. From the side, it also looks like a little kid is stretching his back, but the word that comes out of his mouth is that of an adult.

"In this case, if you look at the big picture, the priority is to fight the Demons. But since the matter of brave men is involved, it can also be said that it cannot be ignored. If you look at the big picture about the brave, it's a big force. Losing it is a huge loss. But it would still be awkward to disperse the forces of war in front of a major visible threat"

"Mr. Refill and his teacher have a lot of power on the battlefield."

Refile, with Trinity's consent, concludes with an apology.

"I'm sorry for Miss Christa, but there won't be anything more than having her wait. Except if the Empire can quickly attach the cooperation of the surrounding countries and blunt the Demons' ability to attack."

"Yes."

"So shall we go fight the Demons too... hmm? I think I said something similar a while ago..."

Shuiming says that and tilts her neck when it fits. But how does it look around you? Is it just a mistake or is it another dumb surface where forgetfulness shows up? Those who have been with Shui Ming before will be the latter.

It was Fermenia who saw him and leaked laughter.

"Well, what do you say, Lord Swimey, you don't do what he thinks."

It doesn't sound modest or sarcastic, but I guess it was just ridiculous because I'm smiling. What Mitsumi thinks is right is that we don't fight the Demons, so this is the third time we've "stayed put".

Follow Trinity to that, too.

"You always said you didn't want to fight in the castle. I knew I should have followed you back then."

"Shut up! My plans are crazy!

Yes, Shuiming shouts, but Trinity had a hand in the synagogue.

"Then why didn't you just say no? Isn't it normal to say no?

"Ugh..."

If you say that, it won't even make a sound. If you look around, there are those who are frightened, and there are those who are laughing. Trinity laughs delightfully, too.

In the meantime, he stops laughing and asks with a strange look.

"Is that all right, Mizumi?

"Hmm? What is it?

"So it's about fighting. We're going to have to deal with a lot of demons, too, right?

"You can handle it there, right? He's got a lot of strong guys around him, and he's hiding in the shadows of Refi and Femenia."

"He said he'd fight in the shadow of a girl... hey"

I can't replace my stomach on my back.

Regardless of the word, it is meant because I do not want to show strength in front of Trinity II, but they received it on par with Trinity II.

But the Mizumi team still doesn't seem to interpret that statement.

"Hmm..."

"Aha, haha"

"Wow, maybe you should get sued once."

"What the hell, you guys?"

There were accusations. Gaze. Bitter laugh. Toxic with a clear attitude. The attitude of the triplets, Shuiming, in words, restrains, but it has no effect at all.

"Then I'm going to..."

Krista opens her mouth, but Graziella covers her words before she finishes saying it.

"That would be nice to wait at the Salvation Church. I know you're worried about the brave, but don't move alone until we're ready."

"… I understand"

"Don't worry about that. It would be enough if Reggie and I could just give them a hand in the first fight. With some purpose, we will also be able to make our way to the rescue of El Mayde's brave men"

In the leaning Christa, Graziella follows. But naturally, there were conditions.

"I hope the battle forces are aligned early..."

"Astel will be able to do something about it, but the problem is the Union and the Autonomous Province..."

It was Trinity and Titania who raised their troubled voices. Again, that's the problem. Since Astel has Titania, it is possible to move it, but there is no Conne in the Autonomous Province or the Union.

But there was only one person on this occasion who had not even put it on his teeth.

"Hey, I just thought of something funny."

Mizumi on the pretend creates a disturbing smile filled with pranks. Trinity, who saw it, made a slightly pulled voice,

"Wow... I look at you when I think about the bad water."

"Bad things don't matter."

"So, so? What the hell kind of magic word did you come up with this time?

"Oh, I just need Trinity and Christa to help me out..."

So Shuiming started talking about the evil that came to mind.
