For now, we have to clean up after the battle for now.

　Since we didn't actually engage in a battle, there's no need to physically clean up, what we need to do is prepare for the report to the royal palace.

　The information I gained during the battle is diverse, and none of it can be left to rot in my hands.

　As I was about to deactivate my 'right eye' while thinking about this, Hild stopped me in a hurry.

''Wait!　But first, there's something I need to look into!

　Hild asked me to analyze the "right eye" again, which I had left activated.

　Hild holds his hand over his "right eye" as before, fills it with magic power, and then exhales with a mixture of relief and disappointment.

'I have one good news and one disappointing news. Which would you like to hear first?
...... Then we'll start with the unfortunate news.
'The pathway into the space in the example seems to have been closed off. Perhaps it's the effect of the flash that played us out.

　Hearing that, Garnett raised one eyebrow in displeasure.

You mean you can't investigate that place again?　Well, then, he's got his way, don't you?
'No, it's my impression, but the deactivation itself should be possible. I'll need to enlist the help of other magical experts in addition to myself to take the time to dismantle the technique: ......

　In short, it's stalling.

　It's hard to believe that Ail doesn't anticipate the possibility of breaking through the blockade, so we should assume that he's also taking that into account.

'I have an idea if the wizard is willing to cooperate. It's not a problem that needs to be solved today or tomorrow, so let's just sit down and take care of this guy.
Well, ...... that's true too. They say you have to hurry up and get it done.

　Of course, by mind, I mean the black wizard, Noir.

　We'll need to get permission to give her the latest information, but I'm sure she'll be able to help us.

'So, what's the good news?'
'Oh, yes!　It seems that the duplicate of Eir Sesshomnir's spirit body has completely disappeared. Now there should be no inconvenient interference from that High Elf for the last time with the 'Right Eye' blockade technique.

　That guy was certainly good news.
　It doesn't feel good to have someone else's spirit body or something else sitting in your eyeballs, no matter what you think.

So, does the main body know that the spirit body has disappeared? If that's the case, this could be very important.

　To Garnett's point, Hild replied with a small shake of his head.

''I can't be one hundred percent sure about this, but given the circumstances, I think it's highly unlikely that any feedback was given to the body.
What makes you think that?
''That spirit body was detached from the main body when it was granted and became a standalone operation. Let's see, ...... If I explain it in detail, it would be enough to make a booklet, but would you like me to explain it?
"...... I'll pass on the idea.

　Looking fed up, Garnett easily made a sound.
　The knowledge these wizards deal with is a substitute that's beyond the grasp of the gate.

''To put it as simply as possible, I'm saying that in exchange for the simplicity that can be granted by simply looking into their eyes, they must not have been able to have the ability to exchange information with the distant body.
I can only imagine how complicated it must be for you to prepare.
I'll also explain why I can't say for sure: ......
No, no, it's not a problem.

　I've heard from Noir that casting a spell and having an immediate effect is only a superficial part of magic.

　I don't think I would understand this case either, even if I was told the detailed logic.

The report should be finished by the end of the night. It would be a shame to leave it overnight and let it fade into oblivion. Can you two help me with that?
I'm not surprised.
We would love to help you!

　The first and foremost person to make a report is the Royal Palace.
　There is no one to report to in preference to His Majesty and the Royal Palace.

　The visions of the ancient magical civilization and the sights I saw there.
　The many actions taken by the High Elf and Coalition Senator Ail.

　It's information that must be conveyed to the Beaufort family that is facing the Northern Tree Sea Coalition, but I'm sure they will be notified by the royal palace over there.

　While I was preparing to prepare the report, Hild spoke to Garnett, who couldn't hide his excitement.

''Once the report is delivered to the royal palace, it won't be impossible to capture and imprison Ail Seslumnir!　We must make sure that our vile deeds get their due retribution!
Uh, ...... I know how you feel about it, but you probably won't.
'What?　Why, why?!

　Contrary to Hild, Garnett's reaction was a calm one anyway.

''First and foremost, there's no proof. There is no evidence to prove who did the blockade of the right eye, right?　So, that food shark acted with a lot of room for excuses when he failed.
'Ta, sure: ......'
The hardest part of the Silver Wing's (our) job is establishing evidence. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's going on. Even if there is another war, the kingdom will definitely win the war ...... Well, a lot of people are going to die on both sides.

　Hild is blatantly disappointed to hear Garnett's view.

　We don't know the extent of her direct relationship with Ail.

　Is she only disliking him as one of the High Elves, or is she harboring a grudge against Ail personally?

　Either way, he seems to have some pretty negative feelings about it.

　I feel a little bit sorry for her disappointment, so I'll stop working and follow up with a follow-up.

''It's true that we can't corner Ail on this matter alone, but I still think we've achieved more than enough. Even if we can't use it to pressure a foreign country, it will give the royal palace and the Beaufort family something to be wary of.

　We need evidence to point out wrongdoing to the Northern Tree Sea Coalition, but if it's just a basis for the kingdom to be wary of Ail and the Chalk Fairyland, we don't need proof.

　If all the parties involved believe our testimony, that's all that's needed.

''As expected, it won't be expressed in a diplomatic forum, but from now on, both His Majesty and the Frontier Count will always take into account the true policies and abilities of the Ail. As a first step, isn't that a fair comparison?
'So, sir!　The activities of the White Wolf Knights haven't even started yet, so there's no need to be in a hurry to achieve anything!

　I look at Hild, who has safely regained his supremacy, and take a breath before resuming my preparations to spell out the report once again.

　Yes - everything has just begun.

　Tonight's case is a great boost to the new knights' goal of uncovering the reality of the ancient magical civilization, but that doesn't mean there's no point in rushing the results.

　The battle against the duplicate of Eir has come to a conclusion, and the case has come to an end for the moment, but this is just an agony before the starting line.

　While keeping that fact in mind, my resolve for my new life from now on has been renewed.
