　Rose, Sigurth, and Sergio, who remain in the hall, look at Lloyd, who is sitting on the throne with his arms crossed.

"...... have you learned anything about the fallboar that attacked Usato and the others?"

"We don't know much about that yet, but ......"

　Fallbores are monsters that inhabit "forests" and "plains" intensively. It attacked Usato and the others who had not yet arrived at the plains. If it had been a coincidence, he would not have summoned Rose, the leader of the Rescue Mission, and Sigurth, the leader of the Order of the Knights.

　At Lloyd's words, Sergio, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and expressed his opinion.

"I have just crossed the plain and questioned the bandits who attacked the brave men. They said that there were fewer monsters than usual. The words of sinners from neighboring lands are not credible enough to be believed.

No, I believe you. ...... From what the bandits said, the fact that there were fewer monsters in the plains area means that they fled the area, so where did they run to? It's obvious ...... that something scary is coming in the opposite direction."

　Lloyd says, holding his forehead as Sergio speaks.

　It's finally here. The coming enemy is ...... not going to take advantage of our country like they did in the last battle. They will march in with the intention of taking the Kingdom of Lingle with all their might.

　Sigurth, who had remained silent, speaks rudely to Lloyd, who is still pondering.

"Is it the Demon King's army ......?"

"Yes. They are coming at last."

　The invaders, led by a disfigured monster with a different race in tow, are about to attack the Kingdom of Lingle. We would like to avoid a war if possible, but we know from the previous invasion that it is futile.

"Commander Sigurth, inform all commanders to keep their ...... forces ready and ready to move at any moment."

"Ha! Yes, sir, I have your orders, sir!

"Mm ......"

　Sigurth responds strongly to Lloyd's order, and Lloyd nods his head in satisfaction. Sigurth then bows reverently and leaves the hall to prepare his troops.

　Lloyd then turns his attention to Rose, a woman who, in contrast to Sigurth, has her back to the wall and her arms crossed.

"Rose ......"

"I understand, Master Lloyd. I should go and check on the status of the invasion of the Demon Lord's army, right?"

"...... sorry."

"Don't worry about it. I'm aware that I have the fastest legs in the country. I'm sure the place to look is at the back of the plains, near the border?"

"Yeah, it's probably somewhere around there ......, though we'd prefer it if you weren't here."

　There is a road that divides the plains into three countries.

　The first is the Kingdom of Lingle, the second is a neighboring kingdom, and the third is the "Demon King's Domain," which is located across the monster-infested zone by a large river. It used to be a dangerous area known as the "Kouro Pass," but it was quickly taken over with the advent of the Demon Lord.

Well then, I'll leave when it gets dark.

"What, at night? Isn't it dangerous! Lord Rose!

　I know Sergio will stop him.

　If the Demon Lord's army is really closing in, it is safe to assume that monsters are pouring into the area in large numbers. But the way is the Kingdom of Lingle, former battalion commander Rose ---- most of the monsters would literally be kicked to the ground.

"Rose,......, will you return to your old position as battalion commander?"

　Rose turns her back on me and starts to walk away, but I can't help but throw those words at her.

　I knew she would say no, but I couldn't help but ask her a question.

"I'm not going back to ....... Besides, I'm not as beautiful as you think I am, Mr. Lloyd.

"I still think about what happened ----."

"It's still with me, I'll never forget it. This scar won't let me forget they're dead."

　Rose's tone gradually slips as she points to her right eye, which has not opened. On the surface, she refuses to come back to the hospital because of her right eye, but I wonder if "the incident" has left a scar so deep that it could be called a tragedy for her.

"Now would be a good time for me to tell you why I created the rescue team.

"It's ...... what?"

　Rose's one-eyed gaze fixed on Lloyd's. He almost shivers at the jade green eyes that seem to draw him in, but he stares back at her as the king and ...... lord of a kingdom.

　The lifeguard who helped win the last battle. It was Lloyd who admitted its existence, but Rose herself has not told him why it exists. The reason for their existence is certainly secondary to their desire to save lives. It seems to me that this woman has a different purpose.

"I am ----"

　He covers his right eye with his right hand, his shoulders shake as if he is laughing, and the corners of his mouth twitch. The words were unexpected by both Lloyd and Sergio,

"I want a man who won't die."

　"A man who never dies, that's what she wants." Unreal," Lloyd thought, and at the same time, he had an image of a boy in his mind.
