I was in a good mood in Hongo when I saw Aotea come to the conversation.
"I thought you'd say that. I never met him, but I asked my men how he fought. I'm glad to hear you're going to answer that."
Against the delightful Hongo, Aeta's expression had disappeared like a notoriety. The anger that was high enough to be belligerent until earlier when we got here was also beyond the apex, rather than more than usual his head had switched to something sober.
"I don't care if you're happy or not, I'm asking you where you're going to fight more than that"
"Goddamn it, don't let that get you in the way. It's good for my hometown, but let's answer the question. There's my mansion just east of this city. It's off-the-record from here on out, right?
Hongo has his index finger on his mouth, don't tell him? and pose for fun, but Aotearoa just nodded in frustration.
"You hated me. Well, look, if you go through my mansion to the back, there's a big tower ahead of you that fell out. Although it is invisible from its appearance, its contents are magically made into vast spaces. We'll be waiting for you there, so you take down the boss waiting for you on every floor and come up to me on the top of the lass boss."
Hongo is laughing.
"You've seen it in an old movie... okay, I'm going out with you. I just want you to pay for your sins."
He knows what Aotea remembers angry about, and Hongo laughs again.
"Ha, fine. Finally, I'll tell you what you guys are going to want to hear. I'll answer any questions or anything. But if we can get to the top."
The grin deepened there, and it seems that Hongo intends to completely conceal the villain, and Aotearoa thought he had no choice but to go on with it, and decided to respond.
"Wash your neck and wait, I'm sorry, but my people are strong."
The joy of the main town became stronger when Aotearoa came to talk about it.
"So when am I supposed to go?
"Hey, let me enjoy the aftertaste a little more. Battle between rivals! You felt like it. Damn, this is why the young guy..."
That kind of Hongo looks like the mid twenties. However, the way it was said was somewhere old because of the old age.
"We're supposed to stay at the Mansion after tomorrow. I also have permission not to return to the castle. So you can come anytime from tomorrow. You won't believe it, but I'll tell you for once. Don't worry, I didn't set a trap, it's a battle of grandeur and power."
Hongo made a lot of strength and said so.
"Oh, okay. In the meantime, I'm gonna let you go home today, keep your people waiting. And leave the mansion empty. If they put a weird little bite on me, I might destroy every mansion."
"Goddamn, that's still funny. I can't believe I'm making such a joke...... that?
When I saw Ethereum's face at that point, there was no atmosphere like she was joking. The look on his face, which he had previously relaxed in response to making fun of Aotearoa, stiffens.
"Just kidding, if you think so, that's fine"
That's all Aotearoa takes a saying-off seat. The look on Deena and Leila's face, who stood up to go home with her to go with it, was also serious, and I couldn't see Aotea making a joke.
Ethereals leaving the room without saying anything more. The only thing Deena had done when she left was soothe the air just a little bit.
When the door closed completely, the man in the hood opened his mouth.
"Hey, Master Eldard! They're so busy! Can I just let you go like that!?
Dear Sir, the tone with which a man speaks to Eldard was familiar.
"Oh, that's okay. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of talking to the Japanese. Besides, that one sucks. There was an aura stronger than a knight than any warrior I'd ever met than a militant. Besides, you're the type who can't get through the joke, if it's been more than that, they probably wouldn't mind breaking every castle like this..."
Hongo was an absolute presence for their men, and its strength was something everyone would acknowledge. The adventurer named Ethereum until he sucked, it was enough to make them run nervous.
"So, but they were struggling with my demons, right?
The man in the hood doesn't seem to want to admit it, telling Eldard yes to eat it but he shakes his neck sideways.
"He just doesn't mean it, maybe he's never met enough people to let him out. I guess I thought about the impact on my surroundings because I have a good grasp of that and my strengths. Is it really Japanese or is it just because of his personality... anyway, he has the strength as I said earlier. If you hadn't had anything to protect him on his back and fought with his people, you wouldn't have had to think about the impact on his surroundings."
He felt the height of Aotearoa's strength directly in front of him, from which he had also discerned that he would not normally fight for real.
"Ugh, but if you can't be serious, you can't show your strength."
The man in the hood eats down. But the armored man seemed to notice something.
"I see, that's why"
Hongo smiles at the words.
"That's a good guess, well, that's the thing. If you can't be serious about environmental issues, all you have to do is prepare an environment where you can be serious. That's why I called those guys to my tower. And when we take them down, it's our turn to attack."
The two of them smile and nod at the words of the main town.
He had a purpose and was building a giant tower ahead of him through his shop as a first step towards fulfilling it. This was meant to be a base for them and a strategically important place.
I have complicated thoughts about making it a place for a showdown with the Ethereal Tails, but that's it if I can stop it now. That's how the main town was divided.
