You have a very bad vibe, don't you?


　Looking at the restless people with a sharp look like a fire dragon, Leleia muttered as her long green hair fluttered in the wind. The only ones who greeted Tsutomu and the others who returned to the royal capital with the front line troops were the ones who were floating.

　The Kanchersian family's mansion was attacked by Orvis. Although the mansion itself was not badly damaged, the execution chamber that Brooklyn had created was destroyed and she herself was seriously injured. She was quickly recovered by her resident white mage and is safe, but she is currently undergoing treatment and has not come out of the mansion. And the incident was an event that was worthy of the people of King's Landing to make a commotion.

　The House of Babenberg and the House of Kanchelsia, who had been famous for their strong barrier magic for the past few hundred years and were located in the great nobility. Both of them had been crumbled in less than a year, an unusual situation that had lasted less than a year. It seemed to prove that there was no safe place anywhere, and the people were filled with anxiety.


(Is this okay?)


　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's not a bad idea. I'm sure that if the Orbis religion were to give me a recommendation to surrender now, I would be happy to respond.


I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea to have a look at Melcho and the others who haven't arrived in the capital yet.
Yeah.
We'll figure out a detailed security arrangement for the others. Until then, we'll hold at the inn.


　The Infinite Circle, which was ordered to stand by Cristia, was to be based in an inn that was rented out by the Kanchelsia family. The inn is a place where the Red Demons, Aldoret Crow, and the Golden Investigation are also based.

　On the way there, you will pass through the street of the royal capital, but the atmosphere is as dark as the gate area. The security has not yet worsened because the knights are properly patrolling the area, but even so, Garum and Xeno were still walking around with a wary look, just like the usual dungeon.


''When it's this quiet, it doesn't look as tasty as usual, does it?
There you go.


　Tsutomu smiled at Daryl, who muttered sullenly at the uncle of the uncle of the stall who was listless, and Tsutomu softened slightly and smiled. Amy, who had her cat ears fully open to Daryl with such a lack of tension, and Corina, who had been slack-jawed, also looked a little distracted. Diniel was also absent to follow suit.


'You're...'
'What?　Huh?
'Well, well, that's about as good as it gets for Daryl. I don't want you to get too nervous.


　The fact that the monster had already entered the royal capital, so Tsutomu, who appeased Garum, also maintained the tension that would allow him to enter the battle immediately. It's just that the strength of the previous excessively tense situation is relaxed to a moderate degree, and Tsutomu is able to maintain a sense of tension that he thinks is just right.

　And as soon as the infinite circle entered the inn, the woman who had been spinning her various skills around her assaulted her with a change of color in her eyes.


''Master Tsutomu!　Be well!
'What?　Oh, yes.


　Stephanie, who had been running for the front line herself since the infinite circle was decided to be the front line unit, ruffled the green gas after being truly relieved. Tsutomu responded to Stephanie, who was overreacting like a dog that was happy to see her husband returning after a long time, while tilting her head.


(What's wrong with you lately?)


　Tsutomu was vaguely aware that the way Stephanie was looking at him lately was getting stranger and stranger, but to be honest, he couldn't remember how this happened. So after cutting off the conversation without getting much of a sense of distance, Tsutomu went back to his room once. Then he called Oli, who is in charge of the equipment of the Infinite Circle, to his room.


''This is the number and type of equipment we consumed.
Thank you. Hmm, that should be good to go.


　Tsutomu had thought of the time when the royal capital, the center of logistics, collapsed, so he had bought the supplies in advance without worrying about money. For this reason, he has reserved a considerable amount of supplies for thirteen people related to the infinite circle. Even if the Stampede were to take over the capital and stop the flow of goods, they would be able to endure for a few years.

　After that, Oli and I talked briefly about what would happen in the future and how we would use the supplies at that time. And after talking for a while, Tsutomu paid a visit to Luke, the clan leader of Aldoret Crow.


''I have two magic stones, one for the Winter General and one for the Mounted Golem, do you want to use them if you don't mind?''
'What!　Are you sure?
I'm sure you've already collected these two, but if you don't have enough, please use them. I'm sure you've already collected them there, but if they're not enough, please use them. The price will be fine after the stampede is over and we return to the labyrinth city.
'Thank you!　Because the nobles get a lot of colorless magic stones passed around, I was just having trouble with the summoning cost!　That's good enough for me!


　Aldoret Crow has a few high level summoners in Aldoret Crow, led by Luke. Even for Tsutomu, he wanted to avoid the occupation of the royal capital in terms of divine dungeons, so he gave the magic stones from the Mount Golem and Winter General to Aldoret Crow to increase their strength.

　We've been able to coordinate with the other clans to the extent that they won't get in each other's way after the last Stampede, so there won't be any problems with a light discussion when Leon returns.


''Ah, Mr. Tsutomu. Amy-san is going to sing with the musicians again. I'll go with her, too.''
Hmm. Then I'm free, so I'll go too. I'll send you an escort.


　Amy was going to perform with the musicians again to get rid of the gloomy atmosphere, and this time she had told people in advance and asked for an escort. Tsutomu decided to go with Daryl to see the show, since he was free until he received instructions from Christia.


''Nah, it's kind of scary, isn't it?''
Yes.


　However, when I went to the square, I found that all the people gathered there had gloomy expressions on their faces, and the air was not conducive to excitement.

　Amy is only famous in the labyrinth city, she is like a local idol, so to speak. That's why she's not that popular in the capital, and even those who gathered in the square out of curiosity didn't know anything about Amy. The hall was as cold as sub-zero due to Orvis' attack, and the atmosphere was not welcoming to Amy.


'Domo!　Nice to meet you all!　It's Amy!


　But Amy's natural talk and her cheerfulness had a charm that made people smile. The audience was intrigued by the unusual talk of the musicians who only talk about their music in their performances, and Amy's voice, which could not be beaten by the magnificent performance, gradually heated up the square, which had been cooled down.

　Normally, the music played by the musicians is more of a closed-eyed kind of thing, but this time the music was more like a folk song. But this time it was light, like a folk song, and the song suited Amy's idle nature. After the last song, the musicians and Amy bowed to each other and the concert ended.


'Encore!'　Encore!　E-i-mi!　E-y-mi!
You have a lot of energy.


　Tsutomu couldn't help but poke at Kolina, who was calling out to him like an Amy fan, and those in the square began to call out to him as well. Amy's ears move in sync with the encore call, and the mature man, who has been in charge of the conductor for a long time, raises the corners of his mouth and raises his conducting stick.

　Then the musicians played another song for an encore, and after Amy danced and sang, this time ending with a round of applause. Amy, who was now mingling with the musicians as if she were part of them, approached Tsutomu and the others after briefly addressing the crowd that had gathered in the square.


'Eeeeee.'
You did a good job with that air.
Heh-heh-heh. Hehehe. It was a bit scary, I guess.


　The cold air at the beginning of the quarry made Amy endure and act like she was truly scared. It's true that the air was terribly cold at the beginning, but if you just look at the end, it was rather exciting, so it can be called a success.


'Lord Tsutomu. Thank you for lending her to me. It was even more exciting than I expected.
Oh, no, no. She likes to show off, so thank you for letting me play with her.
f*ck you!


　Ignoring Amy, who clapped him lightly on the back for not liking his words, Tsutomu thanked the mature man who was the conductor of the musicians. He was as old as Melcho and smiled serenely at the people gathered in the square.


'It has brightened the people a little,' he said. We couldn't have done it without the musicians and her performance. Thank you, Lady Amy.
Whenever we get a chance to do it again, we'll do it together, okay?
I'm counting on you.


　The conductor replied with a cheerful look on his face as Amy shook his hand firmly, and after a short conversation with Tsutomu, the conductor came over to him again. After talking to Amy for a bit, the conductor came over to Tsutomu again. His face is darker than when he was talking to Amy.


''I wonder if the Stampede will be okay this time........ I hear the other party was originally human.''
'I don't know. There's a lot of unknowns, and it's hard to say right now.
Well....


　The conductor's hometown is the royal capital, so he must be deeply concerned that the barriers of Brooklyn-Kanchelsia have been breached. Although this does not matter to Tsutomu, he does have some idea of how he feels. In the event that you are a Japanese citizen, you can be sure that Tsutomu will not be afraid to leave the people of King's Landing behind.


I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who have the intelligence of a human being from what we've seen so far. They are mainly monsters. If we assume that we are dealing with a monster that listens to human instructions, then we should be fine in terms of strength. Besides, it seems like they have some sort of objective over there as well.


　Tsutomu's words, which were not wishful thinking, made the conductor, who had been hearing only gloomy things lately, look relieved.


''Well that's good. I wasn't sure what I would do if even you told me it wasn't good enough.
'No, Mr. Chrystia wouldn't be that pessimistic either.
I was inspired by you, and no one else. So I can trust your word.


　As the violent dragon broke through the barrier and the musicians panicked, the conductor was able to rebuild it and continue to support them. But the main reason why he was able to do that was because he saw the young Tsutomu who was the first to confront the Violent Eating Dragon.


''Well don't expect that much. I honestly don't care what happens to the people here,''
'Whatever your purpose, it doesn't change the fact that you will protect King's Landing. I have high hopes for you.
'....Haha, I understand. Well, thank you very much.


　No matter what he said, it seemed like he was going to be returned well, so Tsutomu cut off the conversation as if he had given up and went to tangle with Daryl. The conductor watched Tsutomu's back with a calm face.
