Vol 9 Chapter 151 (1/2)
Sevens: The Other Side
The Other Side
… Inside Fort Noinyl
A single room surrounded by walls of stone, was fitted with adequate furniture Light streamed into it from a small
Inside that roo, and threw it down on the bed
“That da to smack him!”
It was the outfit Monica hadin a corner of the room
“Yes, he definitely used you as bait But that’s because you were theus And this ti watch fro her eyes to inspect the path… Lyle-san’s a to be able to do all that by himself”
It wasn’t just Shannon and Clara who had come as a separate detachhts Aria and Eva, and Clara and Monica Most of the party had been sent towards the fortress
The ‘Pile Bunker’ furnished on Porter was a disposable siege weapon that Monica had made
It had taken down the gate, but had broken down after one use She hadto Monica, ‘It’s a defective product… but it has romance,’ apparently
At present, Monica orking on Porter’s hts had went into preparations for the next task
Aria and Eva were on lookout, and May had headed off to Lorphys If everything went according to plan, she would pick up Lyle’s group, and return
And while that was going on, Shannon was flailing about Clara was Shannon’s guard, and safe-keeper
“If you go outside, they’ll know you’re a fake at once, so stay holed up in your roo to him!”
Clara sighed
“I do ads ork out The close to forty soldiers of the fort have offered their assistance What surprised hts We purposely made it so they could escape, yet only one of them tried it”
Shannon was once an Ieable in that field
“He was shi+pped off to this reht without pro to bet on us to try and get a promotion Or perhaps try and betray?”
Having taken in the soldiers, the scale had risen to around a hundred and fifty troops
But that was still insufficient
Clara pushed up her glasses with her fingertip to reset their position
“Now is the real deal Well then, I do hope Lyle-san’s group will be able to get here safely”
Shannon spoke
“Onee-saht about tiot back? Look, there they are Quilins sure are convenient They can fly through the sky, after all”
When Shannon looked outside, Clara went to the roorew bigger, and it took her some time to realize that point was a quilin…

… The ones to arrive at Fort Noinyl were Aura and Thelma
Aura jumped off the quilin… May’s back, and felt a sense of joy as her feet planted themselves in firm soil
A robe was draped over her dress, and she looked quite cold
“… I’ain”
Aura said that with a pale expression, and perhaps Thel her hand to her face Her coh quite a bit
May reverted to human form, and addressed the two of them
“… We were only late because you tere so rowdy Calm dohy don’t you?”
Even May was tired She sat down on a wooden crate of the fortress Aria ran over in full armor, and called out to the three of them
“Where’s Lyle and the others?”
May shook her head to the side
“Elsewhere He said for those two to go ahead and persuade the troops Also, Gaston-san and Nove next Without Novem here, he’s quite anxious, it seems”
Hearing that, Aria
“I thought Lyle would be co first”
Seeing soe
What Lyle had told her
“Coive orders for a while Said it would be a good experience”
Hearing that, Aria looked a little happy at first, but her expression soon turned tense
“… Understood I’m to learn to do a proper job, am I?”
Hearing that, May
“If that’s what you think, then itforward to a o back over there again soon”
Looking at May lay herself over the wooden crate, Aria was mildly fed-up as she turned to Aura and Thelma
“Good work I’ll guide you to your rooms at once
Hearing that, Aura looked over the fortress interior
“… So you really took it down””
She muttered it as if she still couldn’t believe it Thel
“After co this far, there’s no option but to believe it Aura, for now, just do what you can Rest a little, and give an address to the soldiers”
Aria explained the fort’s situation to Thelma
“U cooperative Without any persuasion, they’ve opted to join our side”
There, Thelma nodded, but…
“Even so, it is necessary And please put a guard on Aura I’m sure there are those without the best of intentions”
Aria nodded, left May behind, and guided the two through the inside of the fort…

In the inn we booked at Lorphys, ainst the wall
The room wasn’t vast, but it wasn’t narrow either
We moved around and rented based on need, and occasionally, ould rack up needless expenses by renting two separate inns
In front, Gastone-san and Lonbolt-san were talking
It was an exchange of countries I couldn’t really understand
“Return that point? But to us…”
“I understand But we must recover our national power no matter what, or else the future looks…”
The reason they were talking about future plans was because it would prove necessary once Zayin was taken back
I looked over their secret talks, and gripped the Jewel
The one to let out his voice was the Sixth
『What, can’t cal you can do here, Lyle Even if you say soh about the state of affairs, and you’ll only trouble those two』
The Third called out
『There’s long-term circumstance, and circumstance you can never understand unless you live there, so you can only watch over thereement they can be satisfied with』
The Third intended to leave the national problems to the two of them
And the two of the back Zayin
Lonbolt-san wiped his forehead and top off with a handkerchief I could tell that both participants were quite passionate about it
Gastone-san also wiped his brow off, and offered a handshake
Lonbolt-san smiled
“Very well, we shall proceed matters as such once Zayin is recovered”
Gastone-san spoke
“Let us both bring forth a favorable result”
They each save wishes towards the safety of each other, but Lonbolt-san’s expression when he left the room was the epitome of severity
(Even if we fail in taking Zayin, he’ll e he suffers is kept to a minimum)
What was decided upon in their talks was the assistance they’d give after the country was under one flag I was also involved, but I left this matter to Gastone-san
Looking outside, I saw that it was beginning to get dark
Gastone-san turned to us, and explained the situation
“… Lorphys is unable to provide assistance in the recapture And after its success, he even asked to borrow some of our troops If we accept that deal, we’ll somewhat be able to maintain Zayin’s national power”
I nodded
