Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

The three of us asked for more information at the Western Knights Branch.

Information about the current situation of the Holy Knight (Daim) Celestia in particular, if any, would have been fine.

"I want to know exactly where the Knights Commander (Celestia) is"

Redmond clearly answered my endpoint question.

"The Holy Knight (Daim) is in a guest room located at the southeast end of the royal palace.

It is a room originally created in anticipation of the lodging of the nobility, and probably should be closed at night in that room as well.

- Conversely, I can say that I never get out of that room, including meals.

There must always be one woman in the room who takes care of herself.

Perhaps the woman also serves as a watchdog.

However, the woman can have her seat removed while we meet. Because you have a different identity.

However, outside the window of that room and outside the door, there are two pairs of soldiers each, and it is impossible to bring out the Holy Knight (Daim) so that those soldiers do not notice.

I don't know what the situation is at night because the time when the sun falls on the boulder is not allowed to see me. "

When Redmond talked that far, the tail man (Jail), who had stood still until then, pinched his mouth.

"- Did you say Kay Arakawa?

You say you can help the Holy Knight (Daim).

But even if I said I would help the Holy Knight (Daim), there would be many ways to help.

Some of them shouldn't have helped. There must be a way to help.

That's why I want to hear it.

What are you going to help the Holy Knight?

Life? Honor? Or both?

Jail was seriously staring straight at me.

Looking back in the eye, I turned to Grace and let go of the question.

"- Grace, what is the crime of conspiracy in this country (Harland)?

Grace answers the question clearly.

"Not just in this country (Harland), but in every country, capital punishment is committed for conspiracy."

"- So there is at least hope that the life of the Knights Commander (Celestia) can be preserved.

I don't know who the honor is.

Anyway, I don't know what honor is to a knight. "

Jail listened to me and pulled back honestly.

You don't look satisfied when you see the look on your face. But from me, protecting my honor won't add anything.

I asked the Deputy Commander (Redmond) another question.

"- I would like to know a little more about how the Western Knights have returned to Wang Du (Ansel).

Specifically, why did you ask for instructions to come back to Wang Du (Ansel)?

Did someone tell you or was it in writing? "

To my question, Redmond answers with a slightly bitter look.

"Written.

The writing is official.

- No, it turned out to be a forgery, so it wasn't official -.

Typically, the seal (seal) issued by His Majesty the King is stamped on the written document.

The seal was definitely on the document we received.

So in that sense it was definitely a formal written statement "

Sylvia tilts her neck when she hears it.

"So what was the counterfeiting?

"It's easy.

When we received the document and came to the capital as instructed, and met with His Majesty, His Majesty said, "I have never written such a document, nor have I given instructions."

"What the..."

It turned into a retreating Sylvia, and now Grace asked the question.

"Is it possible that the official sealed writing could be fabricated (twisted)?

――――

Is it a difficult question to answer, Redmond did not answer it instantly.

They may be organizing the answers.

Redmond walked around to and from the room before turning to Grace.

"The seal, besides His Majesty the King, can be pressed by the two Prime Ministers (Saiso) and the Secretary of the Interior (Naimu Today).

- But "

One beat (full) Hey, Redmond goes on.

"The Chancellor and the Secretary of the Interior have denied their seals.

- I mean, there's a formal seal on the paper, but the three people who can press it are all denying the seal. "

Everyone gets silent when they hear that.

I opened my mouth to sort things out.

"- I see.

So there are three possibilities.

The first is if His Majesty the King has “forgotten” the writing he gave.

The second is His Majesty the King, the Chancellor, and the Secretary of the Interior - if any of these three are “lying”.

The third is if there is a "different method” of pressing an official seal. "

Redmond snorted when he heard me organize.

"- But for the third, I think it's almost impossible."

I said that it was only a wish, but I didn't dare say it.

After a thorough exchange of information, we will prepare for the Royal Palace.

As for Celestia, she doesn't have much freedom to make time for the interview in relation to the investigation being conducted. However, it seems that the time before and after lunch can be relatively set aside (already) for meeting time.

From now on, it will be just the right time.

By the way, when it comes to preparing for the Royal Palace, it's not a big deal.

It's enough to have a knight's chapter and wear the white armor of the Western Knights.

Only then did Grace and Sylvia react strongly to what Redmond had naturally said.

"- Only Lord Kay can enter the royal palace.

I can't prepare a female knight's badge and armor, so I'd like you to wait here. "

I also feel like it's obvious if you think about it, but I guess the fact that we can poke at it again was that we were both unconvinced.

Grace, in particular, ate down to the end and wished to accompany him.

I invite Grace and Sylvia into the separate room I used to get dressed.

"Kay, I don't mind being a man, I don't mind being treated as a small-timer.

Without knowing how the Holy Knight (Daim) would react, acting alone would be too dangerous. "

"Redmond is with us, so it's not just one person.

Besides, it's not like we're going to set up a fight. "

Then Grace narrowed her eyes and told me.

"- I don't know how far to trust that guy (Redmond) either.

For example, if the Holy Knight (Daim) orders me to capture you for breaking into the royal palace under false identities, can I say enough that Redmond will not obey?

I'm poking at a pretty painful spot.

Because, indeed, Grace is right, there is such a danger (a risk).

But as it turned out, I decided to pull Grace back.

"Grace, Sylvia, leave this place to me.

- More important than that. "

Hearing what I said, Sylvia's expression tightens.

"- You got an idea?

I snorted and started explaining.

"Of course, with the premise that if it were the situation as I thought it would be...

I think I can change the circumstances in which the Holy Knight Celestia was placed.

But the truth is, I'm not the direct savior of the Holy Knight Celestia. "

I say that much and put my hands on Grace and Sylvia's shoulders.

"- It is Grace and Sylvia who ultimately physically save the Holy Knight (Daim) Celestia.

For that, I have a favor to ask. "

Hearing that, Grace and Sylvia looked at each other.

Then me and Redmond headed to the royal palace.

Basically, I'm not supposed to talk about anything in the Royal Palace.

Until I met Holy Knight Celestia, I decided to send everything to Redmond.

I've just asked Redmond for one thing.

It meant “wanting to see" as many people in the royal palace as possible by the time we headed to the room where the Saint Knight (Daim) Celestia was located.

Because seeing a lot of people meant being seen by a lot of people, Redmond showed difficulty, but eventually he listened to this wish.

To that end, Redmond and I will head to the Saint Knight (Daim) Celestia's living room, taking a slight detour course.

Upon reaching the royal palace, he was ordered to wait for a while at the gatekeeper's.

I'm guessing he just needs confirmation to interview a human suspected of conspiracy on a boulder.

But my clearance is lower than I thought.

I must become Jail Reimund in this royal castle.

As per the prior meeting, Redmond is taking a complex course towards a southeastern destination.

There were a number of servants in the royal palace and noblemen and Shishiki humans ahead of me and Redmond.

I will look at them all the way and check their status.

After a short walk, Redmond stopped in front of a room with lavish doors.

Near the door, two soldiers stand like escorts.

When Redmond informs the soldier of his intention, one soldier enters the room after knocking on the door and returns after a while.

"The chief of the Western Knights is going to see you.

I'd like you to meet within thirty minutes. "

Hearing that from the soldiers, Redmond furthermore hoped to get the female officer out of the room.

The soldier who hears it has a slightly troublesome expression, but enters the room again.

That's when Redmond pulled himself off the aisle. And send a gaze to follow me, too.

I stopped at the end of the aisle to go along with it and got a little drooling over my head.

Several middle-aged men walk in front of them.

I walked with Stasta and turned around the aisle and left without any gaze on this one.

I stare behind it.

"What's that?"

"Secretary of the Interior."

Redmond answered my question frankly.

Just at that time, a soldier comes out who was inside the room.

"- As hoped, the female officer will not be present. But there's enough time."

When Redmond replies thankfully, the woman comes out of the room.

Me and Redmond dropped it off carefully and we went inside the room together.

Saint Knight (Daim) Celestia disarmed and stood slightly by the window from the center of the room.

Turn your back on us, you're looking outside.

I don't care how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're welcome, but the appearance of a skirt on the blouse is fascinating to me, albeit in hindsight.

I didn't realize it when I was in armor, but I feel more 3D and feminine in shape than I thought.

"- Holy Knight (Daim)"

Redmond speaks up. But Celestia doesn't reply, she doesn't look back.

Seeing that, I marched in front of Redmond.

"The leader of the Western Knights seems to be an obscene person who doesn't even answer his men's calls."

Celestia heard me and looked back.

As I looked back, I couldn't move.

"-Redo, what's the meaning of this?

Celestia ignores me and speaks to Redmond.

Redmond replied to Celestia without cowering.

"This is Jail, the Knights."

Celestia turns her grim suspicious eyes to Redmond for the answer.

"In short, you mean you're a guru too.

- This man is the adventurer I saw in the interrogation.

Maybe you can explain what you're doing here?

Celestia and I have only heard a word or two before, but the unique hard tone of the Knights Commander is a little paralyzed.

On the other hand, when I look at these types of people, I can't stop the bad bugs in me from making noise.

I laughed and told Celestia.

"I'm here to laugh at a poor woman caught on suspicion of conspiracy."

Celestia and Redmond's gaze at me for that statement. Celestia's gaze is naturally harsh.

- Ledo, tell me why you brought this disrespectful man here.

Stuffed, Redmond started talking with one sigh.

"- Holy Knight (Daim), I brought this man because he said he could save the Holy Knight (Daim) from this situation.

Nothing more, nothing less. "

Celestia turned her back on us again when she heard it.

"- walk away from the royal palace (here) but good.

I am not in a situation where I need salvation.

It's your mistake. "

When Celestia says so, Redmond becomes silent.

Perhaps, as you can imagine, a similar conversation has taken place, not only this time, but also on previous occasions.

That's why Redmond said, "The Holy Knight (Daim) is trying to accept sin by spoiling it” and so on.

- If so, it just puts the idea to pieces.

I approached Celestia and sat casually on the couch provided for my room.

"I just want to ask you one thing.

Why did you come all the way to Ansel?

Celestia answered with her back to it.

"- Because I heard His Majesty's orders. What other reason?

"It wouldn't be."

I laugh with immediate certainty. Celestia turned her back and remained silent.

"You may indeed have received a written order, but you actually had to come all the way to the King's Capital (Ansel) for a different reason, right?

Celestia looked back and looked sharply at me for not being able to read my lines.

"- What are you trying to say?

Again, I asked the same question.

"Again, what brings you all the way to Ansel?

――――

Now Celestia will be silent.

Seeing how it was, I went on with my words with certainty.

Did you find the "searching"?

- I already found your search. "

Celestia opened her eyes in surprise for a moment, and as she spotted me, she sat face to face on the couch.

Redmond is also staring at me to see if the boulder has failed to measure the sincerity of what he is saying.

"- Why, I can assure you?

Celestia questioned me with a strange expression.

Even with a harsh look on her face, she's attractive.

A sharp (enough) look appears on the surface to match the intensity of the will, but when I see blonde hair reflecting glitter and light, I feel like I'm touching something divine.

I looked at the beautiful Saint Knight (Celestia) and laughed niggardly.

"It's an easy thing.

- Because I can see the demon.

When I said that, I found Celestia breathing.
