　The area around the deposit, away from Banaris, was finally beginning to calm down.
　When the single mage returned from the deposit, he was able to tell many other mages of the severity of the situation with astonishment.

　Not only was the single mage injured, not only the current sixth-ranked Galginis, but even Fanon Trooper, who was claimed to be the hardest of the Crebidites, was seriously injured.
　Fanon's arm is completely broken, and he is in an unpredictable and battered state from the start of the operation.
　Garginis was also severely injured, with a broken wrist, lacerations to his side, and damage to his internal organs too numerous to count. Depending on how you look at it, it could be considered an injury, purely because he was on the verge of recovery by Flynn.

　In terms of the extent of his injuries, in addition to Garginis himself, his troops have suffered tremendous damage. Six people died, and Garginis was seriously injured, with a total recovery time of three months.
　Technically, though, thanks to Flynn, this was reduced to about a month of full recovery, with the condition that he would be able to rest in bed.

　The casualties from his unit were still largely due to the loss of armor due to Garginis' special AWR. For those of us who know the situation inside the deposit, it is rather surprising that only six people were killed.
　Four of them died during the transfer.

　After the treatment, Garginis was on a bed that had three pieces that fit together to fit his massive body. Even when he turned over, he was barely able to move with the drips in his arms and the simple healing magic. He turned his meditated eyes to the ceiling and rested like he was dead.
　The post-operative treatment he's receiving is the best he can get in the outside world.

　He advocates bold and bold, but even Garginis avoided wasting time arguing with the healing magician.
　It's not a bad idea to have a good time with a good friend.
　Of course, it was to show obedience while under the watchful eye.

　The creature that is a healing mage is equal to his patients, for better or worse. In short, Flynn wouldn't give an inch, even if the opponent was a single mage. If you try to raise your body, you'll get a furious shout from the guards, like a guard.

　When the young grass-haired healing magician finally disappeared, Galginis raised his upper body with a munchkin and put on an appropriate jacket. He pasted a cold-hearted emotion that was not even close to anger on his face and left the Tabernacle.



　The tabernacle for strategy meetings is for the now deceased Lord Ordowise. It is a special tabernacle prepared for him after he was appointed as the general commander.
　But now that the Lord is gone, the best single wizards of humanity are all there. It's not a good word to say, in fact there is only one single wizard.

　This is the second time that the Tabernacle has accepted them.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

　Fanon, who had rushed in as reinforcements, was sitting in a chair with his arms hanging in a thumping position, with Exeles in tow. Regardless of why it was here, there was a slice of cake in front of Fanon. The gilded dinnerware is brand new, without a trace of cloudiness.
　It was easy to forget that it was in the outside world, but no one mentioned the source of the cake.

'Ecclesiastes,'
Okay.

　The deputy, called out in a commanding tone, dexterously scoops up the cake with his fork and brings it to Fanon's mouth. To the extent that he can't use one hand, there's no need for him to go that far - even from his side - to do so. Although the air is out of place, there was no one to interfere with that act, which was like a master-slave relationship. I simply don't want to be poked at.

　Besides Fanon and Exeles, Loki was present here as a proxy for Ilyce and Ars.
　Ilyce had also given up trying to complain about Loki's presence. Loki came to the Tabernacle after leaving the healing room with an injury that required him to be at rest.

　It was easy to imagine where she had been going.
　Even Ilyce is forbidden by Ars to go near it, even more so since she is forbidden by Ars to go near it.

(I don't see why he would say that, though. ) But in the meantime, I've been forced to play an unpleasant role.

　Loki's condition would also need to be watched carefully. If something goes wrong, there's no guarantee that the blame won't fly to Ilyce.
　Most importantly, the request from Ars is still alive.
　He glances at Loki's arm to make sure he doesn't notice it. Since it is wrapped in bandages, there should be a pattern, or rather a marking, floating around underneath it.

　Anyway, the main purpose of gathering here is to organize information. Of course, she didn't call for the summons, and if Ilyce was here, the gathering would have happened on its own. As a result, she was able to save herself a lot of trouble as the general manager of this place.
　Everyone has fulfilled their original roles, that much Ilyce has heard.

　At any rate, Ilyce left Fanon in charge of the two underground levels and turned back to the ground, or he would have to ask about the situation afterwards.

　It was supposed to be a solemn air, but such a strange air of Fanon and Exeles made Ilyce poke her cheekbones at the desk to get it over with.
　Probably the only person who entered the deposit and returned unharmed this time to rescue them was Ilyce. Of course, Exeles is also not injured, as he is mainly in a position to provide logistical support.

　However, it's not an easy atmosphere to cut to the chase.
　After all, Fanon's visit here was not because he wanted to eat cake in any way.

　Still, Ilyce combines the boldness of his age with the boldness of his age. Or rather, he's just too experienced to think about every single thing. The point is, I've lived enough to have the courage to take a step and the struggle to squeeze it out to make sense.
　If you call failure an experience, Ilyce has experienced it painfully.

　Ilyce cut off in disgust and announced the end of the farce to Fanon, who sat opposite him.

The first thing you need to do is to listen to what I have to say first, or do you want me to talk to you? Well, I guess it's the latter.''

　Fanon asks Exeles to wipe her mouth as Loki also listens with his residence. Her expression is much harder than it should be after eating the cake.

'Yes. That would be nice. I don't think you have any other choice.
"You know, you're a pretty good liar, aren't you? Did you bend the navel?

　The reward for the tongue-in-cheek thorns exchanged on the table was to keep Loki on the edge of his seat as he listened. After all, Loki couldn't understand what the girls were saying.

　Ilyce took the shooting gaze from Fanon with a small amount of room to poke fun at it.
　Whatever the faintly lifted corners of his mouth meant, it was like a backhanded stab at Fanon's emotions.

　However, in the end, Loki, who was watching with a third party gaze, could see that the two of them were conversing far from being serious.

''Fanon-sama, let's hear what Chairman Ilyce has to say first. Besides, I'll tell you, we haven't had our review meeting yet.

　Exeles placed his hand on Fanon's shoulder.
　Of course, Exeles said that tactic against the demons Fanon fought. Preaching to Fanon that strength was inextricably linked to pride was Exeles' role as well.

　Fanon let out an awkward grunt, "Ugh......." and closed himself off in a barren exchange.

It's an adult's way of paying attention to the wounded, isn't it? Hmm, fine. I'm in a good mood, since you rescued a student in the meantime.
'You too, Elyce!　Apparently, that story is not unrelated to Ars-sama (...) either, is it?

　In deference to the occasion, Loki calls Ars by his honorific title. Although it was a bit of a novelty now, he thought it was necessary to firmly re-inform the rankings since he was sitting in place of Ars, a single magician.
　Not that he wanted to take the initiative, but he needed to make his position clear. If anything, it's more of a check and balance for Fanon.

　Loki's words and actions had certainly played a part in creating a constructive discussion.

'Irrelevant, I guess. Or rather, it's what he said. You guys ended up there too, didn't you?
..........

　Fanon and Exeles returned the silence as an attitude of listening first, as I said before.

　Ilyce even guessed Ars's concerns, but he was considering the risk of revealing it all.

(Should I choose my words? It's Ars, so it was just what that guy expected to see in it, but how far do you think it goes? (Good grief, should I have asked him a little more in-depth?)

　But Ilyce stopped pondering, saying that he couldn't avoid telling her everything here after all.

'In terms of time, will it be the day before yesterday? Ars.....'

　Just as I was about to start talking about it, there was a new visitor to the Makuja.

''That story, I'm going to have to mix in with you. I won't let you complain!

　It is a simple outfit with only a jacket on to the huge body with bandages wrapped around the abdomen.
　The gleaming eyes, like a wounded animal, created a tense atmosphere in the barracks.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.

　Garginis was undoubtedly unleashing an intimidating magical power towards the interior of this Tabernacle right now.

'Convenient, I would say, but don't provoke me too much. You'll remember the old fools and you'll be tempted to take a ride.''

　Ilyce's face tilted up at that, and she pasted on a fearless smile.
