Sevens: Circry
Circry
… In Miranda’s room within South Beim, there had been two beds prepared
One of therew late, Shannon burrowed herself in to sleep On top of a shortage of hands, in Lyle’s mismatched camp, Shannon was a valuable member
As her deic, she was a priceless treasure
If someone was to show some suspicious movement, Shannon could discover them at once
While she possessed truly proficient eyes, the girl’s personality and lack of physical fitness irl with a sister like that, Miranda, was reading a letter
Relying on the light of the lantern in the room, her expression wasn’t the best More than that she was laying her discomfort bare
“… I’m surprised he was able to send a letter In various ways”
The sender was Ralph Circry- Miranda’s father It was surprising he had a route to deliver letters to Lyle, but she couldn’t hide her surprise at the contents either
Written were that one of the Circry House’s personel taking a stay in Cartaffs would be sent over As they had yet to receive permission, they were still on standby in Cartaffs, but if Miranda gave the okay, they would be sent over at once
Alongside that, the present state of Centralle was detailed
Not through Ludmilla of Cartaffs, the letter had been delivered to Miranda through the sailors
“So it’s money, or some underhanded connection I don’t really care, but he sure seeetic despite all his demotions”
And the most important part was the last bit
Learning that Lyle was increasing his individual forces, on top of absorbing in the Walt’s et in contact with hih Miranda
“Fidel-san’s starting to look innocent No, I guess to each their own”
Ralph was a noble Fidel a merchant They were both stubborn
It’s true they wanted Centralle’s internal affairs at all costs In truth, Lyle had deter up on it
They were currentlysituation
“… In exchange for handing Lyle information, I’ll have to prepare a shi+p for hi on Ludmilla, but in that case, I’ll have to rely on the merchants”
Miranda folded the letter up and smiled
Under the light of the lantern, her smile was a scary one indeed
“I’ll praise you for your choice to support me to raise the Circry House’s status, father But you see… you’re too late”
At present, they were co one after the next to Rhuvenns castle; the anti-Celes… in order to rebel against the current rule of Bahnsei under Lyle from all over the lands
By defeating the Walt House, the tides were conored the existence called Celes, Lyle was clearly the winning horse
“If he wanted to etting in contact withhis life, so perhaps he did his best?”
There was a high probability Ralph had put Lyle and Celes on the scales, finally ju onto Lyle’s train But to Miranda, even if she received soe
“I’ll ood use of you Well, since you did offer your assistance, I’ll at least commend you for the continued existence of our house”
Looking at Shannon, Miranda felt a little irritation that her sister wasn’t mentioned in the letter at all
“I should tell hiet out of Centralle”
She still had sos for her family, and decided to tell them to secure their own safety…

… South Beim
In the district where the craftsle warehouse
Around that relatively large storehouse, numerous Porters and parts were stored away
As the craftsmen entered with tired faces, Monica in afor them
“You’re late So did you bring the item in question?”
The craftss and springs; while they didn’t knohat she was going to use them for, the items they had made precisely to her specifications were, in a sense, the crystallization of their sweat and tears
Monica looked at them
“… Wonderful The time has finally come for Porter’s completion”
As Monica turned, what stood was their coside Lyle’s party all the way: Porter, undergoing its final modifications
Final modifications for a final battle, what started out as a siiant robot As armor, it used the one obtained from the boss in Arumsaas
Monica had done this and that to its interior, and using the parts of the craftsmen from South Beim, she was finally to complete it
A transfor armored vehicle While Monica usually didn’t show interest in things, it was a coside Lyle, so she had coly to such an extent
“Wonderbar! With this, the difference in specs between me and those three scraps at Professor Dah I must report its completion to the chicken dickhead!”
To a buoyant Monica, the craftsmen…
“U-um… about our payment…”
Monica hit her hands together Her gold twin tails gave a slight sway to the rhythm of her hands
“Oh right, the payment, was it? Then I’ll throw in a bit extra
The pay she produced from the space between her skirt and apron And there, Monica took out soold coins from her oallet, and added them in
Accepting the bag, the craftsmen looked relieved as they confirmed its contents
“She’s honest when it co”
“Right, just the paying part!”
“I don’t think I’ve slept anything more than a nap these days”
The dwarves and gnomes and human craftsmen were relieved that they’d finally be able to take it east To them, Monica
“Whoopsie, I need to put in a request for spare…”
Once she had said thatofpoint was her needlessly high specs
Beating them to it, she stood at the warehouse’s only entrance with a smile
“Hold it right there I’ a request for replacement parts, and components for maintenance”
The crafts her smile… fell into despair…

… Having come to South Bei still a ways away, Gracia walked through the city in casual clothing
In herout the governmental affairs that had always fallen to her as Grand Duke Proxy At present, a majority of the authority had been smoothly transferred over to hiht one
Her silver hair bundled, she walked the town of South Beiuards as well But as she’d been released from the heavy responsibility she’d held up to now…
“Ah, when I thought its scale had increased from the last time I stopped by, they even have more shops”
She was delightedly looking at the line of stalls, her guard knights surprised at the change that had come upon her
“Gracia-saood to eat from the food stalls”
Freed fro the time Leold took his place as the Grand Duke wasn’t far away, Gracia was in high spirits
“Oh isn’t it fine? You all have some to By the way, the meat skewers at that shop are exquisitely–”
There were already visitors at the shop Gracia indicated with her finger
“Erhart, this one’s tasty”
“Hey, don’t cling to hiood too”
“Hey, Erhart~”
A tank top wearing asha to curl up his body He was surrounded by his female adventurer co over him
“Who was it? Who ratted out Erhart’s location?”
“It wasn’t me!”
“Just look at him, today was his day off so he was happy he could finally take it easy… just look at how depressed you’ve made him…”
Gracia’s group looked at Erhart While he did gather surrounding eyes, it wasn’t so ht in South Beim, so there were feho actually stopped to watch
Seeing him like that, Gracia spoke
“… If a man is surrounded by women, isn’t he supposed to be happy?”
When she asked the surrounding feivenheard Gracia’s voice, Erhart raised his head
“You over there, do I look like I’m in an enviable position to you? Hey, do I!?”
Seeing Erhart on the verge of tears, Gracia and the knights shook their heads And Erhart continued on
“This is all because of that da all his troubles onto ive me if I knock him around a bit”
Gracia’s guards sent sharp stares at Erhart Gracia held up a hand to restrain theuard unit parted their hands from the hilts of their swords
“You’re acquainted with our leader? I think it best you don’t put such remarks to mouth”
Erhart seemed to think it was out of hand as well
