His expression sory
「Really nohat is theto the frontline…?」
「I can’t allow this staleer The battlefront has spread too much We won’t have to move it even further west if this ends here!」
He pokes the youth in the head after his rebuttal
The young rin, and he looked as if he had just told an offensive joke
「Next tiether on the frontline」
「That would upset the chain of command You should just stay at the ready at headquarters」
「But that would be a bore… Well, at any rate, no use in talking about matters that have passed」
The young man patted the youth on both shoulders
「Schwarz… You did well to return safely I lost 100 years of h, I gained 100 years when I heard that you defeated the eneeneral」
「You blow things out of proportion, Altius— That’s right, I brought back the general’s head What do you want to do with it?」
Schwarz pointed behind hi there with a white box
「A guy who used to voht back a head? It sure can be scary when people get used to things」
「Haha… I’… But if I worry about that, I’d be on the other end」
「Precisely」
Nodding as if he were satisfied with Schwarz’s answer, Altius spoke to the soldier carrying the white box
「No need to verify his identity Carefully deliver hiet to respect the dead, we are no different from mere animals」
「Yes, sir!」
The soldier got on one knee and lowered his head
Altius aze and patted Schwarz on the back

Hiro absentnores her words, raises his upper body, and looks around his surroundings
The roo time
But it didn’t look like it was unattended to
Near the as a neatly arranged desk that had seen many years
There were two flags on the wall behind it
One flag had a crest hite soil and scales
The other had a crest with black soil and a dragon holding a silver sword
Looking at a bookshelf nearby, the books were old and turning yellow, but there was not a speck of dust
Hiro was sleeping on a bed that was along the wall near the entrance
