122 Quiet talk by Claire Berg

"Berch, here."

While walking on the streets of Ishka, his voice was low and sharply struck Claire's earlobe.

Hakama Crya is very popular especially with soldiers and adventurers due to her previous activity in Stampede. It is not unusual to have a distinctive appearance of white hair and red eyes, as well as a rare appearance in Ishka.

In addition to soldiers and adventurers, their families and citizens who hear the rumor may say thank you.

But they don't call Claire "Berch." This is because Claire did not give her name to Ishka residents.

Sky I only know the name of Claire, but the sky is empty and I don't bother calling her by her name. I don't use the title "Sama".

――Kreia showed a slight tension around her eyes and looked at the one who was speaking.

Artisan A man in the form of a tiring wind looks at the client from behind. I would be around forty years old. Do you drink alcohol during the daytime? The stubble-filled cheeks are particularly red.

Many people in Ishka lost their jobs and jobs due to the ongoing chaos. It is not uncommon for such people to forget about reality with sake. In fact, walking along the street, I could find as many as they did.

Shusei However, those people and the man in front of you have different eyes. There was a strong light in the eyes looking at Claire.

"-Who are you?"

"Please here"

After announcing his tone, the man left the place with a staggered drunken foot and entered an alley with little traffic.

Claire hesitated a bit, but it is impossible in many ways to ignore it. Slightly behind the man, Claire entered the alley.

The man admitted to Claire and immediately kneeled in place. It's an exaggerated gesture, but the man is more likely to be sitting on the Belch than on Claire.

Before Claire asked, the man revealed himself.

"That's it, I'm Heijin, who belongs to the 4th flag. At the order of Odate, we've picked up Claire Berg."

"Odate's ...?"

I have doubts about Claire's voice.

Because, frankly, Claire decided that the possibility of a rescue squad was infinite.

Annihilation Sora's hostage of Claire is to protect the daughter of the demon, but the request cannot be accepted by the Sword Saint Sword Club. It is not a sword sacred that shakes the rules to help one client.

Possibly, the hostaged client will be processed in the sky.

The Berch family cannot be helped. Rather, it is not surprising that the Berchs take the initiative in eradicating their relatives.

The only thing that plagued Claire these days was how he should act in the event of a raid on the swordsman, and he had no idea what to do when help came.

However, the man who claims to be the fourth flag came to help Claire. I suspected it was a trap, but there is no reason or need for the swordsman to trap him.

It would be empty if we trapped Claire. Now if Claire follows this thing, Haijin, the sky is waiting and he will be punished as an attempted escape-it is likely.

Emblem Heijin's work is definitely that of those who deal with fantasy swords. Despite showing the fourth flag belonging to him, he is genuine in the eyes of Claire.

Sima: Did Klimt persuade Odate-sama?

Claire thought so, but this guess still feels strange. Of course, I don't doubt that they worked for the client, but it's hard to believe that Shikibu accepted the wish.

Heijin lowered his voice and asked how he received such client's hesitation and hesitation.

"Berch, please don't worry, we or the four banners will take back anything that binds us, people or things."

"What does that mean?"

"I can see that Bergh was assured of freedom of action. There was no shadow of the watch, but the fact that he was content with the prisoners had some weaknesses. What is it? "

"... Oh! Does that mean?"

Claire, who notices Haijin's misunderstanding, faints her mouth. Certainly, if you look at a client who is free to move around despite being a hostage, it seems inevitable.

As a matter of fact, the sky just wants to escape if it escapes. Rather, he must have even hoped for the escape.

Here Claire also got an answer on the question of the other day-why he was suddenly moved from the Titis Forest to Ishka.

In Titis's forest, the client and the fourth flag cannot contact. So he brought Claire to Ishka.

"Do you know what Odate responded to Kuden?"

"Huh, I know ..."

Haijin looks up at Claire, what it has to do now.

Claire notices the other person's question, but she asks for an answer and finds the words of Shikibu, "Let me come to the island in a month."

"Odate called you to the island to check the power of the sky hall, didn't you order the four flags to rescue me?"

Upon hearing that, Heijin looked down.

"I did not know the details of it because I was engaged in a task outside the island. I have heard that Laguna has been moved."

"What about Laguna?"

Claire slightly flies. From Klimt to Laguna, from Laguna to Shikibu. Is it decided in such a way? Even so, at this point in time, the reason why the Shikibu moved the four flags was small-and when thinking so far, there was something suddenly flashing in Claire's mind.

I remembered the fact that I thought it was trivial and had forgotten it while looking at Heijin in front of me.

Jinbo "Fourth flag .... The one that was first defeated by the empty hall was also four."

“――I was my peer. In addition, it was my benefactor.”

Hearing that, Claire exhaled a small breath.

According to Gozuka, Jinbo's mission must have been the emperor's edict. The four flags have to be dealt with as soon as possible, but this requires eliminating the sky that is the subject of Dragnaut.

Indeed, Laguna moved the four flags not to help Claire, but to lure the four flags into the sky.

Did the Shikibu not notice it, or did it pretend to be aware of it?

Perhaps it is the first test to prove the power of the sky.

"Heijin"

"Ha"

"Thank you very much for coming here to help me, but I cannot leave Ishka now. When you return to the island, everyone will acknowledge that, and Odate has told you that you can leave the demon to the skies if the power of the sky is proved, right? Kuden will release me without any problems. Please tell Odate about this. "

"……Understood"

"Again, the majesty of the royal hall that defeated the illusionary species is true. You seem to have received other orders, but you will never reach out to the heavenly hall or anyone around it Don't give it out, this is my advice I lost to Kuden. "

"--Sure, I heard the words."

He then bowed his head and walked away with a footstep.

The remaining client bites his lips lightly.

Now, Haijin did not say that he would follow his advice merely by saying, "I have swung around." That is the answer.

"If you look at the four flags, the opponent must remove the empty hall to fulfill his edict.

Even the four flags are being treated lightly by other units. And if you fail the edict, your reputation will fall to the ground. In any case, the sky and the four flags are inevitable.

Should we tell this to the sky?

But telling this to the sky is an obvious betrayal of Onigashima.

But what happens if you don't tell it?

In the sky, there is a knot that returns the client to Ishka after seeing the movement of the four flags. Claire's silence would be considered a testimony to the Four Flags.

You can see it only if you go to the right or left. In such a case, it was easier to continue living in a cave-thinking about that, Claire turned back.

While asking yourself what to do.
