Victor, Borg, and Rinne all gasped and looked at each other as if they couldn't believe Celestia's statement.
　They hadn't expected her to use the defeat of Era as a bargaining chip, no matter how public it was.
　If you want to transfer the feat to the kingdom of Theorining, Victor, who wants to keep it for himself, will certainly hide it from you. .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you. You can tell me whatever I can give you.

---- Well, you can help us build equal relations with the Kingdom of Euresia in the future, and help us if something unforeseen happens to us.

"Not now, but in the future, when problems arise." That's a very vague request.

We have our reasons, you know. We can work with you if you keep the name of the Kingdom of Euresia and our relationship out of the public eye until then.

　Seretia gave me a look that said, "That's fine.
　I nodded slowly and replied that there should be no problem.

If that's all, there's no problem here either. I'm in a situation where I could be asked to give away half my country, and all I want is that much, which is more than I could ever hope for.

So we have a deal.

　The Borg, a magical swordsman, and Rinne, a mage, are capable of taking on a small country on their own.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

It's good to fight together, but who's in charge? You can work on your own if you want.

You have to protect your highness, and your priority is to protect yourself, so I think it's fine to work independently.

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

"All right. Then you can do as you please. However, just let us start the battle.

"Yes, sir.

　I held out my hand and all three of them responded with a firm handshake.
　Only Pheuel was looking at that hand strongly.



　　　　　　　I'll leave it to you.



　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible you'll be able to find it here.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　And before that, we don't even know if we'll really be fighting together.
　It's also possible that they'll leave it to us and we'll just wait and see.
　Because of the three of them, I'm in a situation where it's better to show as little strength as possible.

What's the matter, you're suddenly asking for advice?

There are some things I need to tell you.

"Is there such a thing?

　Celestia thought for a moment, and then, as if she had just thought of it, she gave an off-the-wall comment: "It's about the possibility of one of those three being an alchemy doll, isn't it?

"I don't think so, Master Celestia. I can feel the strong magical power of those two, and above all, when they shook hands earlier, Walth confirmed it by casting a water-disabling spell on his hand.

Walth, you've even mastered such magic. ......

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk.

"Wow, I'm sorry. I concentrated on learning it while Celestia and Phiel were working out," I said, spouting a lie that I had thought of on the spur of the moment.

　For a moment, Fiehl also looked embarrassed, but his expression quickly changed to one of clarity.

I don't care, Celestia, you stay in the back and basically do nothing.

"Why, are you saying I'm slowing you down?

　You can't just say yes to a rather grumpy Celestia, so I decided to give you a good reason.

The magic element here is stagnant. If Celestia, who has little basic magical power, uses a lot of magical transformation, the load on her body will be many times greater than usual. You can't stop it completely once it starts to eat away at your body. I can't let you do anything rash here.

...... If that's what you mean, ...... I get it.

Pheuel, stay close to Celestia. Neya, you will step forward with me.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
