Chapter 132 (1/2)
The ot independent fro the order Get in contact with Fokalore feudal army he had received
At that point in time not only Hifumi but also 150 soldiers from the feudal army departed in the direction of Horant in order to rescue their friendly troops
However, this was convenient for theHis order is to talk with Hifumi, who’s the feudal lord, or Alyssa, who’s the rande, it would be easier to explain to the king of Pursang, Minoson, if he directly requested help from the queen as well
Even the news that quite the number of soldiers from Fokalore’s feudal areous to Pursang For Minoson, who doesn’t want a riot currently occurring and is frantic in stabilizing the country, it’s at least good information that the war potential of Fokalore has decreased
Even so, after overtaking Fokalore’s feudal arroup, what he heard when he arrived at the capital, where he headed in a hurry, was the news of a new enemy called demons
“… What the hell does that…”
The ot to know about the queen’s absence at the royal castle, was unable to exchange brief words with anyone as the person in charge ay and thus decided to gather information in the capital as last resort
Hearing the uest as part of that, the er heard the unfamiliar term demons
“They say that de in the wastelands I ain’t getting it quite well either, but having a new deonna attack human cities, aren’t they?”
“After that has beco with a tense atmosphere”, says the drunkard, who calls hihs with a “Hehe”
“Considering all that, you seem to be quite carefree”
The drunkard’streated to booze, gushed forth one word after the other once asked briefly by the er
“No ht of the Slender Sword-sama will handle it in one way or the other Anyway, he is an outrageous man who covered the whole wastelands by hiht down one of those dereat problem”
“Brought down?”
“Yea, it’s decorating the plaza close to the royal castle It has a face reseh it’s just a head, it’s really different from a human”
“Just as head…”
<—>>
On the next day he tries to find the place he heard about from the drunkard and it’s certainly decorated with a demon’s head
Having been installed on a high stand so that it doesn’t get touched, the head, which was affixed by a rope on top of it, looks down on the people in a provoking manner and opens its mouth to raise a mute voice
“This is, as as well?”
After he mutters to himself, he rethinks with a it’s different
If they coed into it Although we are apart fro won’t get involved
“We don’t have the coh”
“The reasons to ask Orsongrande for its cooperation increased”, the ue quietly
“Is it fine to take a little moment of your time?”
When he looked up at the freshly severed head, which can be even called oer
The younglike a lean person, smiles friendly with his whole face as if it was completely drawn onto his face like that
“Haa, what is it?”
“Did you come from Vichy’s direction by any chance?”
“… What’s wrong with that?”
The ” to the er who is suspicious of him
“Please don’t be on such alertness towards me”
The ht his face close quietly, says in a voice that can’t be heard by the surroundings,
“You and me have come from the same place”
“Huh?”
“Or rather, I’ time already in my role as liaison If you like, won’t you chat with me for a little while? I want to hear news about my home country”
“I see Given that I want to know about Orsongrande’s circumstances as well, if possible, it will be helpful to me instead”
<—>>
Entering a restaurant which is his favourite one according to the man’s words, they take a private room
“If it’s this place, ill be able to talk at ease As the eht-lipped as well, we can talk without worry”
“That saves troubles”
“So, how’s the country’s situation?”
Once he ordered simple meals and drinks, he breeched the topic at once
The er, who drank a mouthful of diluted wine, talks to explain the circu
“Pursang itself is heading towards stability Representative… King Minoson has said that it’s still not a situation where one can feel relieved If we can tie friendly relationshi+ps with not only Orsongrande but Fokalore as well for the present, that will turn into a restraint for Vichy, he said”
“I see That means you came to this city as his envoy”
“Well, that’s how it is”
By nohis orders
“Well then, it’s about Orsongrande’s situation, but that side see towards a ith Horant A part of the nobles plotted to invade Horant and it looks like the queen headed out to suppress the the troops herself”
“Further the steamed potato, which he stabbed with his two-forked fork, in front of his face, the man says,
“It see towards Horant with his close aides while the ar after him”
“Yea, if it’s about that, I know that On the way of getting here I passed Fokalore’s troops as well”
“I see, then…”
Thea shadow on his face all of a sudden
“Is there so you?”
“It’s about the deo”
Downing the cup of wine in one go, he place it on the table with a clonk
“If those ((de towards the direction of Fokalore or Vichy, it ree with Earl Tohno absent Even without that, I wonder whether Fokalore or Orsongrande would make a move with their leaders absent, if Vichy started an offensive against our Pursang?”
“Uuh… however, Vichy has no intention to take an aggressive stance against Fokalore”
“Wasn’t it inconceivable that Horant would make such a move either?”
“If soht have the prospects for victory, that assumption would likely crumble easily”, the man shakes his head
“T-Then…”
“As a matter of fact I called out to you because I want you to deliver certain objects to our hoinally, soet in touch with others willingly”
“Certain objects?”
Thelike grasping at straws
“It’s then soldiers which I obtained froet easily crushed by Vichy”
“There’s such a thing?”
“Although it’s soot my hands on by chance, I was at a loss without a partner whom I can trust to transport it as the objects are what they are It’s disappointing that you couldn’t get in touch with the queen, but won’t it be a sufficient accoht here, I’d like to request it from you by all means, if possible”
The sht different froer was unable to notice that
<—>>
Once he saw off thehiic tools and potions placed on it, the man erased the smile from his face
“… It seeone smoothly”
A ed man, who carried the dishes and called himself clerk, called out to him
“Humph It would have been even better if he was related to the central couess it turned out well Even though you didn’t le word from your side, it saved us trouble that he flapped his mouth on his own accord It was an easy job”
The men, who returned to the store’s interior, enter an e room for employees inside, pull the chairs to themselves with familiar motions and sit down on them with a flump
“The seed has been sown Tell that to Prime Minister Kuzeht with Orsongrande without having to worry about VichyHis Excellency, the Prime Minister, is a person quite attentive of the small details, too”
Pouring wine into a cup by hio
“Let’s see, if it’s later possible to kill the Knight of the Slender Sword-sa to the predictions of His Excellency, even I will get promoted once I return to the country What do you think?”
“If it goes smoothly, certainly”
“That would be nice”
