Chapter 53 (1/2)
Chapter 53: Inter violently against the sudden kidnapping affair of the baron and Apple
“It is the first time that elves have coht?”
“Oh well, the baron will be okay, despite his appearance he is a former swordsman”
“Eh, really?”
“The problem is Apple-chan ……So position, so if we don't do anything, they will be executed, Mrs Baron”
“damn elves! Apple-chan is our idol……no, she just started to live in peace!”
“It's totally……I mean, it's a diplomatic issue when you put your hand on the baron When necessities arrive we could call the army from the capital, but………”
“……I wish they could come, the military……because it's Polka here”
“……Don't say that”
“Maybe winter is finished by the time we call them”
“Da, damn it Why is not there an hour's walk to the capital!”
Froh the difficulty of the snake mountains to the capital and it is difficult to contact in the first place The er doesn't arrive at the speed which cuts off one week even if it uses as much means as possible, and even if it coistics plan of considerable scale in order to advance around Polka which is a depopulated area First, if you set things up with the northern elves, if you go north to the west of the snake h the Laika sanctuary there arecities, which is convenient and quick The more important it is, the ent frontiers and their guests will be abandoned
“I wonder e can do fro……there is no baron, even if we say ere in the aruess that with everyone in the toill be a bit more than a hundred people……”
“When you do not include the old people will it only be the half?”
“……If the elves become serious, they will all die in three seconds”
“I wish they had only taken the baron……”
Guard duo, Keel and Johnny slowly dropped their shoulders at the ate in the south of the city In fact, it is not the case that the intruder from the home country is watched in such a place The eneet attacked they will have to flee These two coreeted at the end of the Celesta war, only to experience diversionary citadel warfare and never fought against the eneht Halberds, who they have, is usually unnecessary and intihtened, but noas too much to rely on

In the Baron's mansion, there was a completely different atmosphere
“Think carefully”
Laila twists her head to Dianne's words
“Be cautious at all We should go get them back soon”
“I made a mistake, sorry”
Dianne walks around the office where the baron was attacked and carefully exa h possibility that the elves have done it, but the way is too violent It can also be thought of as the work of bandits who heard rumors of the relationshi+p between the elves and Polka”
“……Bandits?”
Dianne keeps on explaining to Laila who makes a dubious face
“I haven't found any traces of an elf at one glance No one has seen how Apple and the Baron were kidnapped and there is no arrow shot”
“……But, even if you say so……there is no location where bandits can walk around”
“Sir Bonaparte cah it is dangerous to be watched by the elves, the possibility that bandits will come isn't zero”
The area around Polka is a frontier It is a location that the bandit's industry can't bein somewhere, the climate is too strict and there can not be a back society that can move the money earned by the bandits It is a land that you nor But the possibility that they will go on an expedition and commit a crime isn't zero It was unlikely that there was a scenario where the baron who is likely to have money and the pursuit of a o case for them The scenario was not to be impossible It was unnatural that there was no ransom demand, but spent three days or so on a base construction in the unfamiliar land……
“And then Andy also……no, it is said that he is kidnapped while being accompanied by Anzeros and Maia”
“If the bandits had secured Andy for some sort of tiht have had to raise their hands for the moment”
“I see, I see……”
“……It's a story If you yell at the elves by ive you the cause of war”
“Even if it is not a , they won't have a war, at least they will do it quietly”
“I also think so, but politics is determined by justice No matter how much a part of the country suffers, if the person who did it is evil, thewith the lizard's tail cut If there is no cause, the person doesn't move If there is proof that the culprit is an elf, but there is no baron, it won't become a war But if it is not so, it will be the worst result that the Baron will not be able to regained and cause an unnecessary war”
“……The world is a hard life”
Dianne had been swayed by that one point that the attack that the elves did was undoubtedly pushy She got less evidence because it was quick and snowy Although Seleniu the footprints that continue into the forest, the place was also dangerous
“Dianne-chan, here I aood Where Andy-kun and the others disappeared……I think that it is probably the way into the forest, but the range is too wide, although it does not bother to run the snow all the way even if you run, you can't rely on footprints”
“Uumu”
The deaths of Andy and the others were also difficult to handle just because Dianne doesn't know the point Perhaps everything happened at the same time, so they'd like to deal with them quickly, but there is a possibility that they went somewhere as Maia was present If, for example, they were invited to Misty Palace, they had spent time without excessive, the careless connection to the elves still had the danger of beco fatal for the human side, even eventually for Trot and Celesta
“……It was a failure for Andy to put all the cluether”
“Well……at least a clue would be left behind if it is Selenium or Dianne”
At least, it was Dianne and the others who had no relation to the helpless feeling like the citizens of the city……n, no, they felt a dead end due to the powerful and thoughtful position
“I'm back……”
Selenium comes back now She was exhausted
“Seleniuot into trouble”
“Mo, Monster?”
“The monster was a bear……thanks to it, the footprints were lost”
“Bear……a lurizzly bear or so”
It is atree with one blow Due to too much power and speed, it is a powerful deht with and to escape from if it is a decent person, but still Selenium was able to escape which was tiresome
“That demon is still nearby”
“I sprinkled it apart from the city for a while but I can teach you the place if you will bring it down”
“Umm”
“……Laila?”
“I will deal with it It's a little bit of a bug”
Laila quickly left the et rid of stress in the mountains, but she still couldn't afford it
“Please cooperate with me, older sister”
“What?”
“I will exaain because there aren'twitnessed by the townspeople”
“Uh……well, if you think so”

Laila in her dragon foroes to the spot where the uest
“Ho Arthur Bonaparte”
“Uooo…Lailsae appearance It is a hard man to understand whether to see froh it is certain to be a fierce person who does not pull one step off against a dragon for the ti
“I heard that Selenium saw a monster around here, didn't you see it”
“Ah, that bear……I a?”
“I want to do soainst someone who is aard because monster bears use their arms differently from wolves and others, so they are ht the that the monster bear jumps out froes that rush The cloak is torn Whether it noticed Laila's big body just after that rush, the bear flips over and returns to the darkness of the forest
“Chii……”
Laila quickly transforms into her human body when Selenium is lowered and walks next to Arthur
“In any case, it is difficult to kill it without burning the forest, Arthur will hunt it against me in a little coht, do you want to run around this snow naked, Lailsama?”
“Ho?”
“That……it will interfere my footwork”

Diane and Hilda alking carefully looking around the path around the forest
“I have seen it many times……”
“It's a hundred times on, older sister”
“Dianne-chan also has experience of ence brigade but there is no ed your job a lot”
“I have been a soldier for decades, I don't know until after a few years, well……hmm?”
It is not unusual for her to stop in the eyes of Dianne No, it can be said that there is an accident Rumors of the recent raid of the elves have flowed and the forest where plenty of things are getting closer is also reduced There are roads in the vicinity, so no one is walking However, there is a child who is doing rope ju at dusk
“……?”
Dianne approaches whilea suspicious face
“Hey, you should return home because it is already dark……”
“!!”
The child makes herself stiff That child had a familiar look
“……N, you are……?”
“Ah, you are the child of the blacksirl feel a little easier on the appearance of Hilda squatting down? The child tiuys are……?”
“I aic doctor”
“……Uh”
“Your name is?”
“Sa, Sara”
“Yes Sarchan, if you play, ouldn't you rather play in the city while it is brighter?”
