Quena looked at Luina as she came down to the field with mixed emotions as she stared in surprise.


'Luina ......!'
Hey, adventurer. Don't call this man's name so casually.


　Louina's entourage admonishes Kåñëa.
　It doesn't seem to be an emotional reunion for the sisters. Luina doesn't give Kåñëa a second glance.
　Luina says to Bailias.


'A man of the Brave Society. Mirror the state of the divine city on all magic items that are connected to the relay.'
Huh?
"He wants us to see the Holy Republic, the so-called powerhouse, get hit like this.
What the hell happened to you?
'Yeah. I'll show you how fragile the countries called powers are ...... and which ones are truly strong.


　Ruina sneered and smiled at me.


"What are you planning to do at ......!
Didn't I tell you not to be so casual about it?


　One of the entourage stops Kåñëa from leaning over to the side and trying to close in on him by pointing his sword at him.
　Kåñëa grits his teeth at the pressure, which is not light, just barely.


It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go. Perhaps--an army.
....... That's what I mean. ......
Yeah.


　It was a lackluster word, but easily understood by Kåñëa.
　Perhaps this whole thing had been planned by the Empire.


　Whether it was the fact that the dragon for selection had escaped from the Society of the Brave, or the fact that the king dragon had been found after a random search.
　Or maybe it was rooted from a deeper place.
　The purpose would be to 'show where the truly strong country is' that Ruina has been talking about. That's why she had called in her troops nearby.


　Whether that was what the Holy Republic had allowed or whether they were hiding out in secret: ......
　Now it's too sudden to know.


　But.
　It's enough to know.


'Sorry, but we can't let you fight a dragon.


　Now it was my turn to interrupt from the side.
　I stepped in between the entourage of people who were trying to surround the king dragon's children.


''You're ......?''


　Luina speaks.
　The sharpness in her eyes is already that of a king.


The guild's adventurer, Jade. I have been entrusted with the protection of this place on this occasion.


　He pointed his index finger at the field.
　Ruina, who instantly understood, snickered, "Huh.
　And the entourage quickly surrounded me.


''I'm sorry, but the guild's miscellaneous troops need to stay out of the way. This is an operation that puts the prestige of the Weiler Empire on the line.


　Louina said.
　He continued.


'If you really want to move your body, you can fight them. There are a few senior citizens among them, you know, the Scarecrow?
"Senior?


　I look at the entourage that surrounds me with glances.
　One of them, Basina, tells me with a generous smile.


'I used to belong to the guild too. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it. My rank is--S.


　As she says it, Basina swings her great sword in a horizontal line.
　She steps backwards.


'Tsk.'


　It's so fast that the wind sound follows. Naturally, the destructive power is also high in succession.
　I'm not sure if my clothes were hit by the tip of the big sword or torn.


''I see.''


　Several of the entourage here seem to be from the guild.
　So they're 'seniors' in that sense.


''Let me make one correction.
What?
You are...
Huh!


　He ran with a lot of effort on his legs and feet.
　The field collapsed a bit due to recoil, but it is within repairable limits. It doesn't interfere with the request.
　I'd rather prioritize the elimination of the 'interloper'.


That's a former S-rank.


　Close in and kick away.
　Forcefully, with the implication of returning the clothes.


'Geez. ......!'


　Basina tries to use his big sword to stop him with both hands, but it flies.
　That's as far as the audience.
　Dust flies with the wreckage.


'Oh no. This might interfere with the request.


　I uttered.
