Vol 3 Chapter 145 (1/2)

Chapter 145

I look up into the clear sky that hides nothing and, it makes me want to cry

Even though 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 complete」

「tsu」

「This was an ein with, but」

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

That was that the report I aiting for awaited me

「There were no survivors aton’s precepts, the remains of the commonwealth’s soldiers have been cremated en masse as a funeral within wartime proceduresThere 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 tumult became distant

My ears rang

My heart hurt

「Tha, that is all……?」

「……The report, ends there」

「A, Aim is!? Then, what became of Aim!?」

After I drew close while shaking 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 possibilityHowever, 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……」

――Fundamentally, impossible

The power throughout 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……

「On ement……Aim――died?」

「That is thinking froony that always follows a commander, ojousama……」

Certainly, I intervened in this hile knowing 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 time

「However ojousaton 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’ here now

Even if there is so that would shake even the position upon which I stand

「――Excuse me! Ojousama, head maid!」

Perhaps it was urgent business, thefor air

「Did so happen?」

「A large co over the Arakado rasped but……it’s that that number, is not below 30 thousand!」

……What sort of thing?

They sent their main force, toward us?

Have they abandoned the kingdom?

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

「In addition, an envoy has co forceThese 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 commonwealth’s saintess famous?」

「――That isn’t so I have heard」

「Eh……?」

I look at the knowledgeable Ilya’s face and, she had her hand on her cheek in bafflement

「So I haven’t heard of in any countryI 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, from behind me

「……For ojousa words like those……no, that is, war isn’t it」

My chest was raising a screaain today

Suddenly looking down, I ended upmy compact breasts

Surely I can’t be acting effeht?

◇■◇■◇

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 wartime

The saintess ed to come, to such an abnormal world

「How do you do, Fairy of Silver Lightning-sama」

As expected, the personage 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

「AliceIt’s Alice・Einshaula, saintess-sama」

「I am called Sitra・Fon・AustanyaPlease call me Sitra」

「Thank you very much, SitrsamaI am also fine with Alice

AliceIlya, offer your assistance so that she may have a seat」

「No, it is alright 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 your y」

「No, such a thingResolving s with those you meet for the first time is a precious first step, to me」

Fuive a bad impression

Of course if she acts ti 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-saotiationsThus I can’t do anything beyond the level of exposing what’s infor my wish」

「I see, Sitrsaht be the sort of wish that you came to be here with?」

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