It's Loki and Selva who bow to Viziest.
　He controls it lightly with his hand. Even that simple motion is a bit awkward for Vizaisto now.

　A new chair and tea are prepared by Selva, and he sits down on it with a thud and passes his crutches to the man guarding him behind him with a frown.

'I thought you'd become more rounded with age, but I see your cleverness is still alive and well.

　With bandages wrapped around every part of him, Viziest is poof, seriously injured. Of course, he's not the kind of man to stay quiet on a bed because of this.

"You better screw it up a bit this time.
..........

　They are called the "Three Giants" and seem to be close to each other as the three great aristocrats, but in fact, they don't have the opportunity to meet each other that often. It's not a good impression when you think of the time when they were called the "three bigwigs" in the service.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

''So, what can I do for you this time?
You still can't catch a fish, man.

　It's not just a matter of how much time you have left, it's also a matter of how much time you have left.
　The only thing I can confirm with the virtual LCD is that it hasn't been that long since the ten-blame started.

'Looks like I'm not the only one who screwed up.
Is that what it's all about?

　The still-military Vizayst must have sniffed out that Ars, a sinner, was joining in. Considering that he went out of his way to show his face, he may not have any intention of stopping Tenbram on the way.

　Receiving the gaze of all those shooters, Vizaisto forced himself to raise his hands in the air.

'I'm off duty today. I'm not going to be able to move satisfactorily in this situation.

　What can I say, it's almost like he's not using crutches or anything like that. He seems to be unconcerned even if the wound is slightly open.

　In fact, Viziest went to this place not as a soldier, but as a nobleman. As expected, I didn't really think that Ars was participating, so I was even chilled to the contrary.

　If this is the case, Flosse must keep a close eye on Viziest's behavior.
　It's a good thing that you're a soldier, because there's no way you can ignore the criminals in front of you, even if they're off-duty.

　Even if everything went well, I personally wanted to avoid having Ars captured at the last minute. I had Selva explore the matter and came to the conclusion that he was still being set up. Of course, there was no doubt about it since Loki corroborated it afterwards.

　Rather, Froese had already judged the two men to be trustworthy.

　A nobleman is questioned for his way of being more than his dignity. For Froese, it is not possible to just return the favor. That is exactly the kind of deed that dishonors the name.
　Even though he is a comrade in arms, there is nothing to be wary of. It's not as if he read the Lord's mind, but Selva also casually lowered his eyes.

　But--.

I didn't know much about the nobleman's ruling (tenblum), but what kind of subterfuge did you use?
I don't know what you're talking about.
It was Ars. A man who even had an aversion to nobility. Besides, you had a condition for replacing Tenbram.

　While being wary, Froese replies like a minister while watching the match from the virtual LCD, just in the sense of knowing the belly of Vizayst, as the information that can be researched can only be learned by examining it.

'My daughter took care of him this time. That means he bought that helper.
So it's that little girl.
Where?

　Froese, who turned around with a look of a prajna, and Vizayst said in his chest, "Oh, shit! I feel like a child being scolded by his parents for not being good enough. It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're doing.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

　The only thing that stands out about that time is the inadequacy of the situation, so you have to ponder whether it's right to talk about it. Of course, the soft expression on his face, the compassionate look in his eyes as they were turned squarely towards me, caused me to shudder.

　Finally, he made up his mind to confess that no matter what he could say in Vizayst, he would be no match for him.

'Due to my previous work with Ars, there was an intervention by your daughter and her schoolmate, Alice Tirake. We got out of it on that occasion, but ... well, that's about it.

　It's a rather vague explanation, but Froese, who had guessed what kind of work Viziest was currently undertaking, inwardly said, "That's a first," and gave a few words of reprimand.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. Rather, this is a matter that needs to be confirmed.

''How did you set up Ars as a substitute?　I don't think it's possible...

　If possible, I'd like to have him deny it for my daughter's sake.

'Yes, I've asked her to sign the engagement.
"--Hey!　Gosh.....

　Vizaisto glanced at the silver-haired girl slanting across the street.　
　As a parent, I didn't think I should meddle too much in their relationship, but I didn't expect to be scratched by an ambush soldier.
　He shelved the problems Ars had and whispered his feelings for once.

I'm not going to allow you to run off. I've been approaching you for a long time.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

　The throwaway dialogue made Vizayst feel a different kind of pain in his head than the wound. It was an unexpected miscalculation, as expected of Ars, who had stepped on the assumption that Felinella would drop him at some point if he gave it time.

''I didn't think the Socarent family was after him too.
Of course. Ars is my former employee. He's a bit of a character, but more importantly, he's a guy who knows people. All in all, he's simple.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. We're already engaged.

　Viziest is starting to get seriously troubled, and Selva chides the Lord with a dry cough.

''Ma'am, on that side...''

　Exhaling a cool breath, Froese let out a regretful, light-hearted, 'Just kidding,' he said lightly.

''It's just a temporary measure to get Tembram to join us as a substitute this time. Well, my daughter seems to have the same intentions, and the Favre family is going to formally apply for it once this case is settled.

　It's free to say if it's between the two of them, and it's meant to be a check and balance to secure it, but I've already heard the answer from Ars himself that he can't accept it when he offers it.

''And that's if we can win at Tenbram...''
Hmm, that's the guy. I don't think it's going to all come together, but I think it's going to be okay.

　Froese listens with dismay that there was a lack of evidence of trust here as well.


　He crossed his legs and watched the battle situation. It was a scene of countless flying wind arrows in the sky.
　Sisti's help was honestly nothing short of helpful. The debt will have to be paid back somewhere. It's such a skill.
　I'm not surprised he hasn't made a name for himself.

'I can't believe you even dragged that old lady out of Miltria. It would be a good laugh to lose this one.

　If it's only a laughingstock, all the better for Froese. It also proves that Viziest doesn't know what's at stake.


..........
'That's over my dad in a bad way. My brother is still cute, but I'm also worried about him being too mad. Looks like Morotheon was raised wrong.

　As if it were someone else's business, but having only seen the childish heresy that was Ars, Vizaisto was aware of the essence of the Isle at a glance, with his keen eye.
　Arrogant, irreverent, and ambitious, shall we say, at its finest? It's easy to dismiss it as foolishness, but the young Isle had money, power, and even brains.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the world.

'Sounds like it. It's a nice inconvenience.

　However, it wasn't necessarily without a harvest if they could win this one. The first one was still a magician named Ars.
　The other is a condition that Ars dodged as the victor's right.
　Do not interfere. In other words, this time, I have this expanded and added the condition of not interfering with the Fevers family except for the minimum necessary relationship.
　This will allow the balance of power among the nobles to be well balanced.

　While they were exchanging such a superficially trivial exchange, Viziest was wary of his surroundings.
　The purpose of coming here was not just to be off duty. Although there was no official word, it cannot be denied that there was something that was bothering him personally.

　It's easy to find out that Ars will be joining Ten Bram this time. Of course, he doesn't think he's going to come as seriously as Vyseist did.

　If he did, Beric would run the military well for the sake of the outside world. However, the military right now is hardly a cohesive unit.
　I'm sure that the result of investigating that trend is the current state of affairs, but I don't think Morwelde would let this opportunity pass.
　I was going to be able to go there with a bit of anxiety.

　It's a good thing that you're not the one who attacked Vizayst in the projected Umljuna camp.


　All this time, Loki was even feeling resentful as his mind was just soaring as if he was looking for a place to go.

　She didn't have the slightest idea that she was going to be defeated at Tenbram, and she had no choice but to put up with the conversation as the two of them fought over Ars.
　Loki's heart was shaken because they both had a fair opinion of Ars, and even he couldn't get rid of this bewilderment. He had felt like this before.
　Even if he is not aware of it, he can unmistakably put it away with one word: possessiveness. A lust that has crept into the crevices of his mind for a little while.

　She takes a deep breath once, but it attracts her attention in a strange way.

　Selva was still faster than anyone else to sensitively sense such a girl's state of mind.

''Madam, Lord Viziest. It's a bit of a stretch, but we're in the middle of a match. I understand that you are distracted, but isn't that the plan?

　When they both guessed the words of concern, they returned their gaze to the virtual LCD.
　It wasn't just concern that Selva had interrupted, either. It was because it was about time for the operation to start moving.

　So far, it's just preparation time. The real battle was coming up after this.
