Din no Monshou

Bud was rough when he returned to the mansion.

He said he helped people, but he was taken by a private soldier and he looked angry.

But you ended up with zero number of Napa successes.

The story seemed to have reached Sonia as well, and she was worried and voiced.

But it seems it was only counterproductive to Bud now.

"You see my suffering? You don't get it. Pull in. Get out of the way. Hey!" and a spectacular drink.

Sonia was so angry that she cried out "hi, hi..."

I can't grow up.

Speaking of which, I was reaffirming what I could do for the Merchant King's Council.

The King of Merchants' Council is a meeting by the Kings of Merchants, so they shouldn't talk much, even though they are messengers.

Sonia cautioned me to only talk about what I had been instructed to do beforehand.

What, you don't have to talk much?

Well, I don't mind.

I'm confident in terms of oligarchy.

I used to spend a week in my previous life talking only "Oh, I don't need a bag".

I wonder why, don't let your grief creep up when you remember.

And one more thing - I checked the letter I left from Alec.

I've never opened it and checked inside yet.

Because Alec said, "Open it when something's gone wrong".

Honestly, I don't think I have enough problems to look at.

But he's even been stabbed with a nail until he says, "Absolutely not because it creates prejudice".

Well, she had an idea, too, so let's just say I listen.

By the way, this letter, when I showed it to Sonia, I've had a reaction.

Oh, my God, she didn't even talk to me, but she found out it was a United Nations-related book.

Everything seems to coincide with the many letters the Union lost a long time ago.

I thought you'd tell me to show it to you, but I didn't come that far in.

There are thousands of books whose location is no longer known.

Apparently most of that was worthless letters, and this is likely to be one of them.

If that's the case, I don't know what Alec's been giving me.

Well, it's not to the disadvantage to have it.

I missed the letter so much that I was having the day.

◆ ◆ ◆

And the next day.

Finally the day has come for the eighteenth king of merchants to arrive.

Now we're fully prepared to open the Merchant King's Council - it should have been.

It was before noon that the problem occurred.

We never hear from the Neutral Merchant King on his way to the capital.

I plan to arrive at the port after noon - the Neutral Merchant King.

His name is Herabellio Golder Gildia.

He is the most powerful merchant king among the neutrals who do not confer on the empire or the kingdom.

He is also a coalition warrior.

They are pushing their own routes, such as half-colonizing small countries to trade.

Armaments are also flourishing, and the 'Gildia Guard', led by Merchant King Herabellio, is seen as the strongest infantry in the Union.

Herabellio is a cold-blooded man, but he seems to be the one who never makes the promises.

Therefore, it was thought that the arrival of the capital would proceed without delay.

But last but not least, we have lost contact with the departure of the port on Gildia territory.

In this matter, Sonia held an emergency meeting in the mansion.

He wants our opinion.

Me, Walkins, Bud had been briefed by a blue-faced Sonia.

"- So...

also, if Master Herabellio doesn't show up by tomorrow morning, the Merchant King's Council will flow "

"That's where you want to avoid it."

I put my hand on my chin and guess.

Herabellio, the merchant king, was about to come to the capital by boat.

I have no doubt that I am at sea because I have been contacted to leave the port.

If so, why don't you drop in one of your contacts?

When in doubt, Bud pointed to the possibility.

"Didn't the pro-Imperial guys sink the ship?

"Oh, that's not it!

We keep a close watch, but there was no suspicious movement. "

Sonia desperately denies it.

But Bud asked with a surprise.

"... Wasn't it sweet of you to attach a secret detective?

"And believe me!

We select highly skilled soldiers to keep an eye on them thoroughly. Yes, I do......!

"Well, I'm sorry I doubted you."

Bud honestly apologized when he saw that Sonia was about to cry.

Well, they don't have any indication that the battleship left the port after checking the harbor.

It would be impossible, for example, to send them to raid in this situation.

We should suspect another line here.

After a while of thinking, I said the most likely thing.

"Maybe the Dragon Knight..."

- Excuse me.

The door behind me opened, as if to block my words.

It was one woman who showed up with her salary.

The sunburned skin reveals a magnificent horn.

A standing figure who draws a line with humans.

That was someone I knew very well.

"Din Territorial Fishing Port Supervisor - Loggie Akelot.

Served with the life of Lord Shadyberga. "

◆ ◆ ◆

"... Loggie?

I just didn't anticipate the advent of Loggie.

Because this is the Union.

Because I didn't think she was coming to oversee the border of the kingdom, the port of the Din family.

Seeing the loggies coming in, Bud raises his doubts.

"Who is this guy?"

"I know my father. He's an Akelon warrior."

Other species of the sea whose habitats are not spread on this continent.

I can't help but wonder.

But Bud reacts to my words.

"The Akelons......? Are you telling me you're a crazy warrior at sea?

"What, you know what"

"Just rumors. But I've never heard of you on this continent."

Bud turned his alert gaze to the loggia.

The Akelons demonstrate unusual combat abilities in the sea.

Even on earth, outside the drylands, we can produce a human ability to stay away.

From Bud's point of view, I guess I can't trust him because of his lack of identity.

"I don't care about me. Ask again."

That's how he shrugged, and Loggie crushed Bud's question.

"By the way, why are you here?

"My lord asked me for help. I'm asking you to help me."

Has Shadyberga sent for backup?

You don't look good if the king asks.

Well, the threat of 'don't let other races into the Union,'

I guess it was a bluff to draw Alec's help.

Not to mention now.

I'm just worried about...

"Mr. Sonia. As you can see, Loggie is a different species."

"Right, right"

"Are you all right?

It's okay - the point here is, 'Don't you try to get rid of it'.

The Union is other races of exclusionism in all directions.

To my mind, I hadn't heard what Sonia thought of other races.

If you're going to react to rejection, it's going to be a hassle.

"Yes, I... Nash does not persecute or otherwise persecute any other race!

Sonia made a grand declaration in front of Loggie.

She puts her hands on her chest and smiles sincerely.

"Sixteen Nights of Theism is to all living beings,

It provides for unlimited charity. "

"For that matter, I don't know what a special zone you have, but it sounds like you're playing it except humans?

Bud puts a penetration into Sonia, who was saying good things.

Well, it's dangerous to poke at religious contradictions.

And then Sonia finds herself pointing out a divergence from reality.

"Aww... well, that's... that..."

"I guess it's because of the eyes of other merchants.

I must bend the noble doctrine of its suffering - I perceive. "

Loggie gave out a help boat this time to Sonia, who was about to cry.

Just the way she seeks the ideal world, seems adequate to Loggie.

"It just seems like other merchants, not only in the city, are better off not being touched by other races."

"Yes. Citizen opponents in the realm can cover up, but when discovered by dragon killers and other merchant kings -"

"You can't hide. Got it."

Loggie nodded deeply.

And I sit at the table guided by my salary.

It's going to be noisy just because other races are roaming the city.

You've come a long way to this mansion without finding out.

I don't know.

"How did you get here...? Beyond the Kept Spiritual Peak?

I asked what I cared about.

I don't think anyone but elves can cross that mountain.

"No way. We've been bypassing the continent through dragoon waters."

"I see, there's such a way..."

Did you come by sea, not land?

You're a possible artist because you're loggy.

If we were to travel by boat, we would be sunk by dragon knights in a strict state of precaution.

It would mean that he used the difficulty of reaching the sea to poke a gap in security.

You're making good use of the performance of your species.

When I was impressed, Loggie opened his mouth.

"By the way, Regis..."

It's a strangely heavy call.

While I had a bad feeling, I asked back terribly.

"... what?

"I have one bad news, can I say it?

Bad news.

Whether that's related to the situation we're facing now weighs differently.

"I'm interrupting a message from the Merchant King right now... no way, and it's a separate matter?

"No, probably the same as that.

It's more of a case that would be causing it. "

Good, it seems to be the same case being dealt with here.

It was possible to figure out the cause by stirring together.

I found him alive in the middle of a dead place.

"Currently, Herabellio the Merchant is under attack by the Dragon Knight, drifting at sea"

".................. Huh!?"

Loggie's word knocked me down to the bottom of the dead again.

I had a bad feeling about it in the worst possible way.

Loggie exhales small and explains the situation pale.

"On my way to the Union, I saw a great army of dragon knights flying towards the Union.

If you put the landing on hold and follow it, you will be advised. He was attacking the king's fleet. "

"No way, the Merchant King's ship has been wiped out...?

"I confirmed it, but it's still alive.

We have also succeeded in getting rid of the advance troops, albeit by a few "

"That's the most powerful and famous Gildia soldier in the United States."

Sonia exhales in relief.

The merchant king at sea seems to have successfully defeated the dragon knight's offense.

But Loggie continues that things have not been resolved at all.

"But few private soldiers were attached to Gildia, most of them devastated.

The only ship left is the Merchant Herabellio's cruise ship. "

"When the Dragon Knight arrives, it's over..."

Looks like we're under more duress than we expected.

It still seems tough to fathom dragon knights at sea.

When Loggie retrieved the nautical chart, he pointed to the merchant king's drifting point.

The location is northeast of the port of the capital.

Of course the Merchant King will kill you if you don't make it to the Merchant King's meeting as it is.

"Herabellio has asked me to rescue him.

If we don't turn the soldiers around immediately, they'll take them down immediately. "

Only the Astrite family can go to help now.

But even if we go to rescue from now on, will we make it to the destruction of the Merchant King?

I swallowed my spit and asked Walkins next door.

"Walkins, I'd like to ask if it's possible."

"What is it?"

"Can you fix that?

I don't talk a lot.

I just stepped in that Walkins would most likely get me out of this mess.

In response to my question, Walkins meditates with regret.

"I'm ashamed, it could be tough on a single ride"

"Even Walkins is tough..."

"Yes. The floating magic that Master Alexandia specializes in.

If I could use that, I could fight without worrying about the terrain - but it's the ocean down there. "

I can't swing my sword satisfactorily in the ocean.

The magical effect drops sharply because the mind also has difficulty staying normal.

Anyway, the ocean is not suitable for the battlefield for humans.

All the more so if the opponent is one who specializes in aerial warfare.

You mean even Walkins can't escape the bondage of compatibility?

"Also, if you go into battle aboard a ship, you will suffer"

"What do you mean?

"Attacks on me can be stopped, but the destruction of ships will be difficult to stop"

"I see..."

No matter how powerful it is, if it breaks your foot, it's extremely unfavourable.

Even if Walkins wields fierceness with his power in front of him,

The Dragon Knight side can bring the ship to victory as long as it breaks.

"For this reason, I deduce that without some cover it would be near impossible"

Tough on a single ride.

I knew what that meant so badly.

As I roared, Walkins took my hand.

And I'll tell you with a ready look.

"Of course, if Master Regis orders...

This Walkins will come to the rescue without regard for danger. "

"No, you don't have to. I just can't... don't"

Unconsciously, I said it over and over again.

The fear of losing deflects my mind indefinitely.

Ignoring risks can never be done.

We almost lost Alec after passing through the canyon.

I don't want to repeat that anymore.

"I understand.

I didn't know you were going to show your servant... but Master Regis is kind. "

"I'm just cowardly. Anyway, let's find another way."

Walkins' departure is dangerous, so to speak.

If there's nothing positive about it, you just have to adopt it that way.

And here Loggie put his hand up all the time.

"So, the troops are heading for rescue, but Sonia, the king of merchants, is definitely in your house, right?

"Yes. I am!

Loggie confirms it again.

Speaking of which, Sonia and Bud weren't named after her.

Loggie says loosely to Sonia, who shivers her shoulders with tension.

"As soon as possible, I want the Great Pirate to send out a request to deploy troops.

To get rid of the dragon knights at sea, we need their help. "

"Yes. We'll be on our way to the Great Pirate's Negijo in a minute!

Sonia took her seat with momentum.

Look at that, I feel uncomfortable.

"Can't you send a messenger?

Does anything need to go in person?

In the case of kingdoms, representatives go out immediately, usually only during oppressive diplomacy.

I remember using it around Dürf.

And so I thought the Lord would only move against the hostile forces.

"Normal courtesies don't work for big pirates and dragon killers."

Bud's penetration reveals that it was a mistake.

"Are you saying it's high stakes?

"Yes...... especially the big pirates hate making requests without going out in person"

Sonia has answered instead of Bud.

I see, it seems completely different from the courtesy of the kingdom nobility.

Rather, he came when the Lord bent Heso if he did not show his face.

"For once, we'll follow along with the perimeter guard."

"It's okay. Pirates do not harm merchants."

Sonia tries so hard to turn down my offer.

Show Bud the same attitude in her words.

"Oh. The Astright family is one of the best places for big pirates. I'm sure it won't get in the way."

And Bud nodded,

"but - there remain doubts about the negotiating technique between you and your lady.

Let us be present, too. "

I went to persuade Sonia to accompany me.

Face-to-face with the merchant king Zepil, I guess Bud knows enough about his heart strength.

After a while of reticence, Sonia kept her head down.

"Right. Then... please."

◆ ◆ ◆

We were walking in the impounded zone right now.

Those who pass through here greet Sonia with humility.

Unauthorised Special Zone.

On decency, territory illegally occupied by dragon killers, big pirates, etc.

But the reality is that the Astrites are only lending it.

Instead of granting territory and rights of use, he leaves it to buffers with other races.

Therefore, the people here show a friendly attitude towards the Astright family.

"Out of the harbor to the sandy beach, the island you walked to is home to the great pirates"

Saying, Sonia points in the direction.

If you ask me, there was a dark rocky island floating across the coastline.

There are multiple islands around them, all of which have battleships anchored in astonishment.

The sandy beach continues to the island of destination, and they can walk to it.

As I stepped down to the beach, I glanced at Loggie walking next door.

"I was wondering... Loggie, what's that helmet"

She was wearing a full face big helmet.

Knight, the knight who bears the name of a nightmare. “ It ’ s an obedient bum like a

If we meet on the night lane, we can even faint.

In response to my point, Loggie has responded pale.

"The Great Pirate is at the forefront of Demonic Exclusionism alongside the Dragon Killer.

Even if you behave as a dignitary of the kingdom, it's obvious that the horns will stand. "

"I see. I have to hide my face. That's not good."

Its design would also deceive her of the twisted horns that were originally growing on her.

It's completely united.

Keeping close to me, Loggie keeps walking.

"The devil haters of kingdom aristocracy are quite something too.

Backwards there, as long as I'm beside you, I won't be suspected. "

"That's an unintentional cover-up..."

Kingdom aristocrats hate other races.

That's why you can't be taking him by your side.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Loggie is of other races.

What a sad argument.

I ask the two nearby, sighing.

"Bud, Walkins. Have you ever been involved with a big pirate?

"Hey."

"I'm about as wealthy as you are."

I've never been directly involved, he said.

But Walkins doesn't seem to be completely ignorant.

"You know something?

"Because the founder of the Great Pirate was certainly a participant in the Evil War"

"Heh... it's my first ear"

The Union was founded shortly after the Evil God War.

In other words, the Great Pirate would have been formed almost at the same time.

You've been working longer than I thought.

"By the way, did it work?

"Yes, I hear you kicked the beast led by the Evil God and led the refugees to safety zones.

But by the curse of the evil gods, it fell right after the war. "

Curse of the Evil God.

I've heard it many times, it's a legacy of hero killing.

He said the founder of the Great Pirate couldn't beat the curse either.

With that in mind, Walkins explains what it's all about.

"The Navy, led by its founder, called itself an” anonymous recapture, ”

I hear the successor changed his name to "The Great Pirate," and so did the pirate's name. "

"I see. Is that what's leading us to the great pirates of today"

It is enough to find out that it has long been a betterment with the Union.

This case is also a request from the Astrite family, the merchant king.

No way. I wouldn't say no.

Dozens of minutes to keep walking on the beach. Finally, we reached Iwajima.

"We're here.

This is Ganoderma Island, the Root Castle of the Great Pirate. "

Apparently the name Eating Spirit Island.

That's a much taller island name.

shape as if it had put a large mine on the foundation.

It seems the pit was wide inside, and several men stood at its entrance.

Approaching, the men stand as if they were on guard.

"Stop - who is it?"

"If you want in, I'll have you pay the toll."

By toll.

Is this a place of detention?

Being preoccupied, Sonia stepped forward and raised her name.

"My name is Sonia Golder Astright. I hope you find your way to the leader."

Then the golden man opens his mouth gently.

"Oh, that Lord Astright...?

On the head of such a man, an iron fist swung down his back.

Other men like superiors pronounce an outrage that blows across the island.

"You idiot! I'm sure he's a better customer. Don't be rude!

"Su, I couldn't soothe..."

I immediately apologized to Sonia and the man paved the way.

Apparently, when someone other than a dignitary tries to get in, they take the money.

Let's remember.

"So - what's the king of merchants doing on this island?

"This is a troop call. Let me see the leader."

At Sonia's request, the man tries to get inside.

But just before that, he remembered something important.

Scratching my head tightly, I turned around feeling sorry for myself.

"No evil. The leader is just out now.

If you want to see me, you can change the day. "

A desperate word.

Sonia pleaded in panic.

"Oh, that's troubling! I need soldiers now......!

Seeing that, the upset seems to have spread to the man as well.

In the form of additions to the foreword, I try to keep up with Sonia's expectations.

"As it were, it's okay.

If you talk to the deputy chief, the big pirate moves. If you need me, go up. "

"Good for you..."

Apparently, you can listen to me.

Still, it's a pain in the ass to say you don't have a leader.

He said he was refraining from such an important event as the Merchant King's Council.

Where the hell are you going?

As we proceeded through the corridor that was passed, we hit a large door.

Looks like this is the reception room.

When I went inside with guidance, I was greeted with a bright voice.

"Yah, there you are often"

Unlike the hallway, it's bright inside.

At the deepest of the lined seats, one girl sat.

It looks like something like sixteen to seventeen.

The girl, smiling invincibly, has greeted her as she urged her to sit down.

"There's one deputy chief of the Great Pirate, Gazelle. Let's talk."

"Make it contemporary Nash, Astrite. Homeowner.

Sonia Golder Astright. "

"I am Regis Din, a Western nobleman of the King's Capital.

Behind each is a dignitary of the kingdom. "

Finish your greeting and turn your gaze to the girl again.

Then I realized there was.

The girl had her ears finned translucent.

And the skin tone is also slightly watery.

"Ya, other races...?

Definitely not human.

Now I know why I'm having an uncomfortable vibe at my apparent age.

You look like this, and you're probably old enough not to compare to me or Bud.

When I was amazed, the girl in front of me - Gazelle - had turned her suspicious eyes.

"Oya, what's up, kid?

You look like an underwater snake was eaten and torn apart. "

"No, 'cause I heard you have a policy of not acknowledging other races as big pirates."

Why are you holding a non-human girl in your deputy chief?

With suspicion, the girl has explained, nodding over and over again.

"Aah, un. That's right.

I'm just wondering if the big goal, to be precise, is to 'eliminate other races than the demons of the sea' "

To that word, Loggie's shoulder bounces pickly.

You don't seem to dislike and exclude all other races.

Bud frowns at the girl's remarks.

"What the hell. I've never heard of it."

"Darrowne, you don't even know you're not an expert, because it's a policy that was initiated by a previous leader."

Is it cracking and lately?

There's no need for Bud, who imports a lot of knowledge from books, to not know.

Gazelle reached out goofy and stared at the watermark between her fingers.

"Ma, I'm afraid I'm going to compliment myself.

The demons of the sea are powerful and useful.

Besides, it doesn't infringe on the territory, so it's better for the exclusionists. "

Still, the hardliners make me their enemy - and Gazelle laughs bitterly.

With her explanation, Bud seems to have been good at it, too.

He shrugs his shoulders and sorts out the situation.

"I see. It's the other species of the ocean coming to this continent,

Most of them are detached and don't get involved in force maps.

That's why I'm good, and as a big pirate, I want to incorporate it into my power. "

"Un. If you were targeting the demons of the sea for exclusion,

Me and your sister were both shot dead on this spot. "

Here, Gazelle pointed to the loggie that was next to me.

Taking it, she took off her helmet clean.

And I turn to the gazelle as I admire it.

"Well, you know what I mean?"

"Maa, sir. If you are a demon tribe of the sea, please smell it. So are you, huh?

"Whatever. Don't lick Akelon's sense of smell."

"Akelon......?

I'm scared, if I get my hands on the ocean, it'll be a payback. "

Gazelle held her shoulder and shook her neck to the side.

After all, the strength of the Akelons seems to be famous in your world.

"You don't smell like that. Mixed blood?"

"Waa, correct. Is that what you mean by quarters?

You just look like a human being away, and your performance is just a little bit better than a human.

He's a good swimmer. "

Weren't you a pureblood demon tribe?

So is Eric, but a lot of other races have interacted with crackers and humans.

As for Gazelle, she's glad to see the same demonic tribe of the sea.

I'm excited to ask a question about the partition.

But here Bud broke the flow of chatter.

"Sorry to pinch your mouth, but I don't care about that. Let's get down to business."

"... ha, right. We need to talk."

You remembered your duties, Gazelle snorts in dissatisfaction.

Confirming that, Sonia asked for reinforcements to work things out.

"A merchant king is being attacked by a dragon knight at sea.

Please send a battleship to help. "

Not as much as dragon kills, but I hear the big pirates are also burning hostility to dragoons.

Further to the Astrite family's request, he will gladly accept it.

That's what I was hoping for. That's what popped into our ears.

"- Oh, I'm sorry. I can't do that."

"Huh?"

It was such a definite rejection that I thought I heard it wrong.

Gazelle speaks plainly to us.

"I know the Merchant King is being attacked at sea.

But the Great Pirate doesn't move. You can't move. You can't move. "

"Duh, what..."

Sonia asks with a trembling voice.

Gazelle had been pronouncing herself as if stabbing her with a todome like that.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm going to ask that merchant king to sink heavily."
