As for Ars, it was only incidental, but I mentioned the consequences of this time, and the consequences of it.

'So, what about the impact of the mining mission?
Hmm, well, we haven't heard from them so far. I've sent word to the academy and the military in various countries, but the commotion has been anticlimactic.
You've held him back with power.

　For lack of a better word, the use of power in these situations sometimes works well.
　There is definitely information that should not be made known to the public, and in many cases there is nothing we can do about it once we know about it. External responsibilities and obligations alone won't get us out of the predicament that humanity is facing.

''We'll have to wait and see for a few days, Ars, but it won't be the situation you're worried about. Only the various national academies won't be able to do so.
They'll wipe it out. They only tell you what they think you want to hear and hide the bad parts. That's what they do best. He makes his living on it, so he'll take care of it.
...Al, you have a foul mouth.

　When dealing with nobles and dignitaries, Ars's mouth is too verbose.
　A counter argument was blocked by a genuine point. Nevertheless, I can see from Loki's loose cheeks that he agrees with the criticism of the upper echelon.

　No one can stand up to these two, no matter who asks.

　With the ease of chit-chat, Ars let go of the chair. The face was expressionless in contrast.

'Be sure to tell Latifah enough. If you've been losing some part of yourself with each use of your power you won't be rewarded.
'I suppose you have to respect the boy's self-esteem too, but... ah, yes...'

　Against whom?
　The first time I saw him, he was in the same boat as me.
　It's probably all of them that go unrewarded, Loki thinks as he holds his tongue.

I think it's time for us to get going. I don't think we can afford to take our time and enjoy the rest of our lives.

　He raised one hand toward his back, and Ilyce tilted his head as if to say that he was lost in blood to Ars. Away from the army and doing only what she wanted. She had no way of knowing that detailed wish.
　Seeing Loki, who followed with a funny look on his face, did not resolve Ilyce's doubts. You can't enjoy your life after this, or even under this tight situation.

　I never dreamed that a teenage boy would ever say the word "life expectancy", much less "life expectancy".

So long, Mr. Ilyce.
'Oh, oh. Loki, is that guy serious?　I don't get the joke about the young guy.
'Huh, if you think I'm joking, you'll be suffering from chronic headaches like Governor Beric.

　His open mouth is not closed. Loki lifted his cheeks to Ilyce, who had just such a look on his face, and said, "Hey, it won't open.


It's not long after that that I came to my senses with a voice that said, "Hey, it's not opening.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you haven't registered for certification yet. Do you want to register as is?　Soon. Soon. Comes with a top-of-the-line release code. "Every room in the house has an access code to the internal documents.

　Ilyce, who smiles at the person's bad smile, and Ars pushes back with an immediate answer, "No.
　It means that he will be given the same authority as the chairman.
　Then I don't know what he installed Ilyce as chairman for. He pushed for the most troublesome thing.

　I look back and see a disgusting sofa chair. I really didn't want to take that seat.

　Gaining momentum, Ilyce got out of the armchair and walked up to it with those narrow strides, not in a hurry.
　Quickly unlocking the door, the three of them were all in the next room. As it was, he unlocked the door once more and went out into the hallway.




　In the corridor, detailed conversations were exchanged as if they were killing time.
　The air of calm returns, reminiscent of the end of an incident. All the serious matters in the pile were dropped from the desk, and now only their mouths moved without thinking about it.

　Still, Ars and Ilyce. There is as close to zero unnecessary things in the conversation between these two men as possible.
　A difficult snarl falls with a small footstep.
　The sound of the past dredging up memories was covered in dust.

'Hmmm, there are a few of us, though. I told you. The people who can't be taken in by creating an association. The grandson of a former single wizard, the "Oren" is also one of the strongest and roughest people who have been thrown out. They're not the kind of people who just walk up to you. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are not regular magicians. They're the real warriors.
So you are asking for their help?　Surely there can't be too many strong mages, though.
You don't know why you're talking like that. They're a pain in the ass, frankly.
I'm not going to lie.

　Ilyce's more than this, the wrinkles between her eyebrows made her hesitate to step in. It felt like being spoiled when a snake poked through the bushes and came out.
　More than that, though, Loki was bothered by Ilyce's language.

''..........''

　It wasn't just Loki, Ars tried to push through in silence, too.
　He was strong and troublesome, and he had a bad feeling about this already.

'But. You're strong.''

　Loki's face wasn't as optimistic as his mouth would suggest. Rather, she wanted to say that she was taking on an unpleasant role.
　No matter where she went around, she knew where she would end up. There is only one person to rely on in the end, and that's Ars.

'I can assure you that's where. That was a long time ago, so that's if he's still alive.
I see. But there are probably people in every army who are a pain in the ass.

　I'm not sure what Loki thought, and I'm not sure who he thought of. Maybe it wasn't a specific person, but I nodded silently since Ars could agree with him a great deal.

''Well that's true too.''

　Did he get it, or did he just split up? Ilyce gave up worrying about it.

'I can't seem to trust them, but I can think of a few in terms of strength. That's right, Ars. Do you remember when you came back from your mission in Hydrangee?　Hore, what about the mercenaries?
What about it?
He's based out of Hydrangee and has one guy there. The leader of the group had a number of mercenaries, and I believe their name was Rosé. That's right, Rosé.
