「Hey, Onee-chan? What’s wrong? Weren’t you supposed to come back tomorrow?」(Chiya)

Hibiki replies with an embarrassed look on her face

「 That was the plan But it looks like I’ve caught up with you」(Hibiki)

「Did your business in Rotsgard go well?」(Chiya)

「Yes We were supposed to gather just before we enter Lorel, but now it looks like I can enjoy the view of the Gold Highway」(Hibiki)

「Being together with Onee-chan makes me happy!」(Chiya)

「Me too Ah, sorry, Chiya-chan I was busy today, so I’ll go to bed first」(Hibiki)

「Mhht」(Chiya)

Hibiki’s face does indeed look a little pale As Chiya sees her off, she assuue

Hibiki hired an extra room in the inn, some distance away from the rest of her party She enters the room and throws herself onto the bed

She lets out a large sigh

(The inside ofI needed to do in Rotsgard, but the final matter with the Kuzunoha company really wore dootiate for coe corps, but to think that there was another japanese person here other than that from the empire Someone I know, even At this rate, I can use our senpai-kouhai relationshi+p from ere in japan to hear reliable information from him But his identity as Raidou is problematic He’s the representative of a company with unknown influence Even his e their power It seems they want to have the company as their ally, but)

Hibiki considers the inforained in her conversation with Raidou, AKA Makoto, in relation to what she already knew about the Kuzunoha co a fake name is because he doesn’t want his whereabouts to be known by the Goddess, right? I didn’t feel a shred of respect for her in his words I was summoned in a castle, but he told me that he was summoned at some corner of the world It’s probably true, but if that’s the case then it’s basically indirect murder Which means that it’s quite likely that Misuood relationshi+p Is it alright to accept someone like that as an ally? That company’s equipment and Mio-san are absolutely excellent I wonder what I should do I’ what could happen after the war, Misumi-kun’s existence is)

When the war between humans and deers the kingdom of Limia’s existence would be undesirable

For Hibiki, who thinks that the Goddess’s system should continue in this world even after the war, Makoto seems like he could become an attractive source of military power But at the sans that he could become a source of evil

(There’s no doubt that Tomoki will set out to unite the world after the demons are defeated It would be i were only a bluff, but I’m sure that’s not the case If I were to ask Misumi-kun for assistance and he turned out to be the Goddess’s enereat reason for the empire to start a war between hyumans That would be bad We don’t even knoe’ll win the war against the demons, but that doesn’t mean that we can just focus on what’s in front of us and hope for the best So the safest option is to associate with them purely just as a company at first, then slowly request military power Even then, a request from just Limia and myself is a hand we can only play in a situation where we have no other choice)

She knows that the Kuzunoha company is powerful

Hibiki has seen that first hand

Hibiki considers a truly ideal scenario where, just as the deht to the brink of annihilation, the Kuzunoha company would use the Devil to face the empire, have the two destroy each other and then be defeated

She h they are both japanese But during their conversation, Makoto did not give any i on either the hyu about him that will not disappear So she has decided that as a hero, she shouldinto account her personal feelings

Her decisions have too s like “I will believe him because I know hih school”

(We don’t even know the background behind Larva and that white guy This is just a hunch, but the one who bleay Stella is that white Devil I thought I could get some kind of lead on him if I caet that sort of inforure so out in Lorel as well, so there’s still so hidodom in the near future and ascertain his standpoint there It’s not a good idea to investigate too ave )

Hibiki remembers the blue-haired woman who is the very reason she was able to meet up with her party so quickly in the first place

She is confused as to what to think about To as Mio-san She was someone I can’t understand no matter how hard I try She see a katana, but she’s either never been through a competition between katana-users or she’s just inexperienced at fighting Even so, her stance was quite solid Ah, that’s what it reht What exactly has she been doing to learn how to use a sword like that? I don’t understand her I don’t think Misu of kendo or swordsmanshi+p, but I wonder if you would be able to have such a solid foundation just by hearing a report on how it’s done That company has far too many secrets)

After Tomoe had insisted on it, they spent al a contest with katanas

The only ic, so it was a true contest of sword techniques Hibiki won nine out of ten matches

Tomoe’s powerful technique that made use of her physical ability had taken Hibiki by surprise initially, but Hibiki won the rest of the matches afterwards

To Hibiki, who has studied kendo for a long time and even learned proper swordsmanshi+p, Tomoe was but an inexperienced soht away even after I cut her, didn’t she? Though she did say that she had prepared healing ic

To the point that Hibiki unconsciously watched her in fascination

After a deep blow that Hibiki had thought er To had happened Hibiki was completely shocked

Hibiki had immediately decided to make it one of her objectives to find out whether Tomoe would be able to deive her an explanation

She willingly explained to Hibiki how the reed upon, but in exchange, Hibiki taught Tomoe a way to train the japanese sword’s iai

TLN: This is the art of drawing your sword, cutting down your opponent with the sa the sword afterwards

(As a so, but not particularly special otherwise She probably norht I defeated her that many times and yet she wasn’t even upset about it But more importantly)

Toht be able to find clues about in Lorel

In addition to that, the restoration of the kingdom, the empire’s h she is exhausted, Hibiki does not stop thinking about the various subjects that float into her ht

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

I’m naïve to think that winter would stop the development of the land

Are you serious?

E the situation, it see slower than expected

Apparently I’ on the land is a valid reason for that

Kaleneon’s a northern, inland area with lots of ht was that it would be unreasonable to try to develop the land during the winter

According to the Super Secretary Eic was used

I had this thought during the restoration of Rotsgard as well, but we’re in a situation where we have to use e of workers capable of that a in Kaleneon, but still

I asked Root to secretly move hyuman and demi-human adventurers that pass certain requirerants It’s normal for those kinds of people to have a lifestyle where they’re doing some work on the side, anyway

I need more information than just what Ema has told me, so I’ll make a decision on how to deal with the situation after I hear from the Ansland sisters in Kaleneon

More importantly, I need to focus on the present

「Tomoe, explain What’s with those torn-up clothes?」(Makoto)

This is the probleood of you to ask! I asked the hero Hibiki to dee of true swordsmanshi+p Well, we had a small contest These are wounds of honor, so to speak!」(To a contest for your hobby?」(Makoto)

「Let us not worry about the s, Waka Her sword moved like this so quickly, and in the next instant, it was slashi+ng back at me! I think that the trick to this would be to use the wrist and the back It really surprisedthat only your clothes got torn」(Makoto)

「No? My blood scattered through the airat the sah I cannot repair , so that is why I am in this state」(Tomoe)

To herself

They fought each other with real swords

「Weren’t you supposed to stop Senpai froer?!」(Makoto)

「Of course I did not useswords; in my current state, there is no way I can land an attack on her」(Toht it would be fine because you can’t hit her, seriously, you It’s not just a et cut, is it?! Do you think I’d find it interesting to i cut?」(Makoto)
