Chapter 145 (1/2)

I look up into the clear sky that hides nothing and, it h I still could've done the act of taking comfort in it, had there been even a few clouds there to cover us

「Ojousahway is coin with, but」

Ilya's voice calls out to ton's western national border

That was that the report I aiting for awaited ht up in the collapse, under Wilton's precepts, the remains of the commonwealth's soldiers have been cremated en masse as a funeral within wartime procedures There are plans to return the re on whether those who knew them can be secured under wartime conditions」

「Is, is that so……」

「Further the collected re that fell froeneral Carmel-dono」

「……Is that so」

「One strike to the forehead, it was excellently done」

Silently lowering her eyes, Ilya gave a prayer to no one

「……」

「……」

The surrounding tu

My heart hurt

「Tha, that is all……?」

「……The report, ends there」

「A, Aim is!? Then, what beca Ilya's shoulder, I did a light self abasement

「I, I'm sorry」

「No, ojousama……」

Ilya averted her eyes like she felt uneasy

「It isn't the case that all of the sedi the final witness's testieneral area was searched but, while it's regrettable……she wasn't found」

「Does that ht be alive!?」

「……I will not deny that possibility However, the sedi, the avalanche that fully buried the highed up even the forest and flowed until reaching the river……Given that, how far shethat is……」

――Fundahout my body left

「O, ojousama!」

From a movie, the scene of a co infor an untimely death clouded my mind

This isn't a conversation of the level of, sorrow

What sort of face should I face Ransan……the children of the orphanage with……

「Onfroony that always follows a commander, ojousa that this sort of result was possible

But, when that sort of result finally eed, I was shaken to a level that sneered at such like the resolve of that titon retook the national border due to Ai the battle lines back are also, numerous」

「Un……I understand, I understand you know」

Feeling that I want to protect the people without the power to fight, I' that shakesthat would shake even the position upon which I stand

「――Excuse ent business, thefor air

「Did soe co over the Arakado rasped but……it's that that nu?

They sent their dom?

No, in that case Kran would help as such but……

「In addition, an envoy has co force These are only the important details but, the commonwealth's『saintess』wants to meet with ojousama before the battle! That concludes the report!」

「Good work」

She made a polite salute and, perhaps she was in a hurry but the maid-san immediately ran off to the fort

「Saintess, saintess is it……」

……Is this that green haired habit child, that was there with Libra?

「Ilya, is the co I have heard」

「Eh……?」

I look at the knowledgeable Ilya's face and, she had her hand on her cheek in baffle I haven't heard of in any country I was considering that is she not an existence that rose to power, quite recently」

「An idol, for the war is it……」

Did she rise due to Libra's work?

If so, did that person also come?

……

「……The next tiht end up killing her」

That was, a ithout deceit

Turning my heel, I went toward the fort's office

Ilya's sad voice ca after, fro words like those……no, that is, war isn't it」

My chest was raising a screaain today

Suddenly looking down, I ended upeffeht?

◇■◇■◇

Normally, the role called envoy is done with the resolution to die

A s a war

When their de, those lives are easily lost

Such things as logic don't work, that is wartied to come, to such an abnor-sae that was there at Libra's side

Her vibrant green hair with, closed eyes give a strong impression

And then there's her habit like she's a servant of God that doesn't fit a battlefield

「Alice It's Alice・Einshaula, saintess-sama」

「I am called Sitra・Fon・Austanya Please call me Sitra」

「Thank you very much, Sitrsama I am also fine with Alice Ilya, offer your assistance so that she ht Alice-sama, thank you for your concern」

Just as Sitrsan said, she wasn't holding the hand of her attendant from the commonwealth when she entered the room either

Almost as if she could see even now, she lowered herself onto the sofa opposite of me

Fumu……perhaps she actually can see?

「Perhaps I should say it is ht, I a the world」

「Is that so? That is excellent isn't it, it was a breach of etiquette to have unnecessarily pried into yourResolving s with those you meet for the first time is a precious first step, to ive a bad i as an envoy, it's certain that I wouldn't understand what she wants to do though

「……」

However, she's younger than I thought

Should I say her age range is around 10～12?

Her voice still gives an adorable sensation

……I really can't feel that she's a person who knows the battlefield

「Alice-saotiations Thus I can't do anything beyond the level of exposing what's infor ht be the sort of wish that you came to be here with?」

「Hai, I do not want to spill blood pointlessly Thus, could you so yourself to surrender this fort?」

「……」

It's i on her reasons, it's not even a conversation at that sort of level

「I understand that I a ridiculous, however, I would like to request it if possible」

I just thought this but, it's harder to read the feelings of an opponent with her eyes closed than a poker face
