116 Interlude No. 6 A secret meeting and a unaware “change”

The time goes back a few days after the flood of goblins and the fantasy knights and adventurers crashed at a certain mine.

The heroes who rejected the Flame Lizard arrived in Diagal territory and stayed at an inn in a town. Because there was a report from a person who had pre-examined and investigated Diagar in advance that there was a person very similar to the "Genie" seraphide they were pursuing in this town.

However, it has been some time since the hero arrived and began searching, but the genie could not be found.

"... what is that?"

The second princess, Phileas, of the Kingdom of Urfilia, returned to the inn early because of her poor physical condition. The beautiful but adorable face, as if embodying the word pretty, was distorted at this moment with irritation.

There is another one besides her in the room. He could only see his face dimly lit in the dark, except Phileas.

"So, the plan was abandoned in the early stages. Thanks to this, there was no damage to the Knights of the Phantom Dragon. In other words, it was impossible for the demon beast army to come here. "" ... I guess she was arranging her for something, right? "" She was crushed on one arm by the hand of the person who destroyed my summoning ceremony. " Hey, it ’s currently under treatment. ”

Phileas gasped.

Suddenly, "It's hard to believe that that fighting mad has lagged behind. She's definitely a three-finger in" we "?" I don't think it's ever been so careless that we couldn't afford to be too late. However, there's no doubt that the number of such operations was large. "

Philias heard the word foreign and lifted up.

"Does it blame me for the mistakes of" I "in a round trip?" "It doesn't matter how you perceive it. I'm just talking about the facts. "

Philias felt that the wording was polite, but that it contained a fair amount of blame. Her inner heart was filled with raging shame and indignation, but she was repairing her pretty face to a degree that distorted her expression. Most of my responsibilities are to detect "foreign matter" and take measures. Even though he felt humiliated, he judged that it was wrong for his calm thoughts to hit his opponent.

"──Why did the Goblin Flood fail? Why did it appear before me, including the report?" "That's it."

This time, Philias was distorted by the information he brought. From his mouth came a "name" that was unlikely and unexpected.

"" Dragon sword is in that place? Is that ridiculous! Is it true? "We said," I don't think there's any reason to tell you a lie and I'll get it. I was in the back, so I knew that after all was over. "" It's such an idiot. Impossible ... and even "wolf"? "

She muttered stunningly with her mouth held down, but words were uttered after her.

"Well, the true cause of the failure wasn't the dragon sword." "What does that mean? Wasn't the dragon sword that destroyed the summoning ceremony of You?" It was a gray-haired adventurer who destroyed the summoning ceremony of "Who is it?"

Phileas frowns, but her conversation partner shrugs and shakes her head.

"I don't want you to ask me. Rather, I just wanted to know that adventurer from you."

In other words, this meant that the operation had been overturned due to the intruder, whose shadow and shape were not recognized.

"It seems that the adventurers are rumored to be called" Shirayasha ". If you have the opportunity to" see "it, it will be very helpful as a site. He's driven some of our plans into destruction. "" ... I understand. "

“He” nodded as he looked at Phileas, who nodded heavily, and quickly put his hand inside. A magical ceremony was built under his feet, and light began to wrap his body.

"So, I'm sorry for this. 'May we have a great blessing.'" 'May we have a great blessing.' "

Leaving words with each other, his appearance disappeared with the disappearance of the light.

Phileas, who was left alone, calmed down her swaying emotions with her hand on her "delicate" chest, and began to calmly think.

"... If the monsters weren't flooded, there would be no reason for us to stay in this town, and the opportunity for the Tenryu Knights to be successful would have been lost. I need a new hand. ''

In the middle of the night, three men, including the brave ──Arizuki, who had searched the town, returned to the inn.

"I'm sorry, Feet. I didn't get any remarkable information today." "No, I'm sorry to get out of the way.

Philias, who was waiting for her return at the hotel's cafeteria, wrote words of labor to the depressed state of Aritsuki. From there, discussions on the future were held, also serving as dinner.

"... As a result of our search over the past few days, it's probably reasonable to think that 'the genie' is no longer in this city." "It was a bit late ... unfortunately."

Ayana nodded with disappointment at the words of Phileas, who was sore and dark. The last few days have been untenable.

"So Feet. What are you going to do now? Because you're already thinking about the following?"

Although the leadership of the Quartet was a lunar month, it was Philias's role in guiding the course of action. She was always looking one step ahead and made a remark that would break the search in this town. Philias nodded and answered Misaki's question.

"There is no doubt that his genie has entered the territory of the Diagar Empire, so it would be best today to go to the most informative location in the Diagar territory." The next thing we need to go is the Draknir, the Imperial Capital of the Diagar Empire. ''

Aritsuki took over Phileas's words. However, Ayana who heard it has an uneasy expression.

"We'll all be treated if we travel as travelers, but Fee is the royal family of Urfilia. Will it be so easy to get into Draknir?" "Don't worry, our diplomatic relations between Urphylia and Diagar are good I have a lot of acquaintance with the members of the Diagal royal family, and they won't be treated indiscriminately. "

Ayana smiles with her hands on her chin, and she laughs.

"I'm saying that the fee is okay, that's okay. Ayana is worried."

To Misaki who says brightly, Ayana is a little stuffy.

"I can't be optimistic about things without thinking as much as Misaki-san." "... Would you like to say that I'm a idiot without thinking?" "Well, it depends on how you receive it ... "If you think so, you're right." Isn't there? "" ... you're too nutritious for your muscles and you're not thinking? "

After a slight silence, Misaki and Ayana gaze at each other. Sharp gazes intersected, sharp sparks scattered.

"Okay, get out. I'll get that fight, I'll buy it."

Both of them try to get up while checking what they have gained. If those who knew them were here, they wouldn't have been surprised at the immediate touch.

"Well, wait both of you."

Arizuki gently stopped them from going out of the store. Immediately, the two, who had been angry up until then, look as if they were back.

"Ayana is worried about the fee, and Misaki relies on the fee. So they don't need to fight so much.

某 If a certain boy looks at the present month, he must have been shocked as if he were struck by lightning. It was such a sight.

The two have calmed down in Arizuki's arbitration, a feeling they can afford.

"I'm sorry ... I'm sorry, Misaki-san. The words I mentioned earlier were definitely wrong." "Okay, Ayana. I'm too cool and I've been saying too much. Sorry."

Misaki and Ayana take care of each other, as if the first touch was just a lie. There was definitely a close friend.

"... It's humiliating to be able to stop the fight by Aritsuki-kun." "Everybody is tired today. Otherwise, Aritsuki wouldn't have to say that." I'm going to say good things !? "

Three people as usual. State as usual. Return to the usual relationship.

──No one was aware.

That "change" is definitely happening in them.

That no one remembers the start anymore.

Forget about even the caution you would have had.

The princess was laughing alone.
