Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

Celestia's hand, stretched out to the knight's chapter, stopped the movement perfectly in the air shortly afterwards.

Neither Olga nor Kay pay attention to Celestia's subsequent movements - but she doesn't try to be slight from them.

When Kay turned her gaze, Celestia had an expression that was so hard to describe as she opened her eyes.

Her gaze is completely fixed on the knight's chapter - which is not linked to her own actions.

Kay looks at it and smiles a little bitterly, opening her mouth towards Olga.

"- Your Highness.

Suddenly, Ceres may have been confused, too.

So would you just give Ceres a little time to think about it?

The moment she heard the words, Celestia closed her eyes tightly and squeezed her right hand tightly, which she didn't move.

"It would be good."

Upon hearing an immediate response, Kay wondered if Olga would have expected this from the beginning. But she hasn't broken the gentle technique without changing her face.

When Olga gave Xu (Omoro) a hand signal, she lowered the female officer with the knight's badge from the office.

"Stay at the Royal Palace tonight.

Unfortunately, I can't have dinner with you, but I'll tell them to entertain you both.

And - Ceres. I'm here at the corner, so I want you to look healthy. "

"Sir."

Seeing the end of the conversation in that exchange, Kay and Celestia decided to thank each other again and exit the office.

The opponent is probably Harland, one of the busiest. I didn't get that much time originally.

But that's how the moment they tried to leave the office - Olga, smiling softly, spoke to Celestia as she chased that back.

And somewhere, that was the kind of word that saw through Celestia's lost heart.

"Ceres, be honest with your feelings.

Because that would be the happiest (...) choice for you - "

That night, Kay's appearance was in the room assigned to him within the royal palace.

Naturally, there is no room for men and women, so separate rooms are available for Kay and Celestia.

Celestia was acting apart from Kay after an interview with Olga to show her face to the Knights.

I didn't expect him to come home until night, but from there I thought he was probably visiting and walking, including not only the SS who packs it in the Royal Palace, but also the Western Knights branch outside the Royal Palace.

After a while, when Kai was enjoying his tea, the sound of knocking on the guest's door sounded.

"- Kay, I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you a little."

The Lord of the Voice is like Celestia. Kay opened the door and invited her into the room, letting her sit in the chair opposite herself.

Then they start brewing (brewing) Celestia's share of tea as they go.

When I glanced at her sitting up with a chill, I saw the side of the atmosphere that I had come up with.

So Kay, who saw it, was ready to not be so surprised if Celestia spewed out the dialogue "I don't want to go back to Ferim, I want to stay in the king's capital" after this.

But the words that came out of her mouth - they're not what Kay imagined.

"Kay, I think I remember...

When confronted here in Ansel with Secretary of the Interior Curtis, we let one enemy (...) escape "

"One enemy -?"

When he heard the word, Kay did not think, and tried to ascertain the sincerity of Celestia's words.

When the Kays faced the demon Curtis at Ansel's Royal Palace in the past, it was precisely because they were letting two enemies (...) escape.

One is Kurt the Demon.

And the other is - a man who was also vice president of the Western Knights.

The name is Redmond-Rainer.

However, Kurt the Demon had since vanished from the world after a confrontation in the tower of Salita.

In other words, it is likely that what she refers to here as' one enemy 'means the latter.

Kay understood that Celestia had some special feelings for the person who followed her.

However, the emotions are never the same as the affections and passions of men and women.

Something resembling deeper remorse or obsession - she must have had feelings for the person that made it difficult for her to devote herself to the brush.

But Celestia, until she got tired of it, is pale in her mouth with the word 'one enemy'.

"No way - they found you?

When Kay asked Celestia that, she shook her head small.

"No - I'm not talking about it for sure.

However, according to information I heard earlier from the Knights, there is testimony that recently a one-armed (...) man (...) was witnessed in the fishing village of San "

During his escape, Redmond is losing one arm after Grace's blow to his arm.

"San's Fishing Village -?"

Kay re-questioned Celestia's place name. For him, the name is something I don't remember hearing.

"It's a small fishing village by the sea near the border with Roar.

From Avis, home of the Western Knights, it is located north down the river on the border "

"I see. -"

"However, according to the sighting, the one-armed man was trying to cross the border river from San's fishing village."

If the fishing village of San is in Celestia's position, it is not the Kingdom of Harland if it crosses the river of the border. It's the Land of the Beasts.

"The river at the border. -?

Is it possible that the man has already entered the Loire? "

"Yeah, that's likely.

Assuming you crossed the border river from around the fishing village of San to Loire, it's the port town of Ceilia in Loire that you reach. "

"Ceilia... That's a town you've never been to."

Celestia snorts at the words too. The nod meant Ceylia was an untouched land for her as well.

"Compared to San's fishing village, it looks like a town of quite a size.

Unlike Farica, which is just near the border, he says it's not a town where humans wander from day to day.

That's why... "

"If a man with one arm walks among the beasts, it will just catch my eye -"

Celestia nods at the words.

Redmond is a human being and never a demon.

Then if you think about it, even if he changes his appearance and breaks into town, there will be something somewhat of a limit. Without some special magic, you can't be like a complete different person or beast man.

Of course, there is also the question of how much danger (risk) a person who has lost one arm who is not a demon creates for the Kays in the future.

In terms of friendship or hostility, Redmond, who was working with the demon Kurt, would undoubtedly be hostile to the Kays.

But now that the demon Kurt has vanished, what can one Redmond do...?

To be honest - Kay has a hard time making that decision.

Nevertheless, there exists a point of view as to whether to miss the man with the blade against the Kingdom of Harland so much as this.

However, it is not Kay or Celestia, who has no military nationality, who should hunt him down in that case.

The Kingdom of Harland itself should capture Redmond.

"I am..."

When Celestia cut it out like that, Kay could easily predict the words that would follow.

And I realized that this story is already in a different dimension from the story of who should (...) what (...).

This is not about what a human being named Celestia should do now.

It's about what she wants to do, of her own free will.

"I want to go after that person.

So, Kay, there's no other way to talk to you.

I want you to come with me and follow Redmond. "

With a gaze full of strong determination...

Kay nodded silently.
