Din no Monshou

I can twist and scratch a red pond.

As if following Avallo, Zepil fell and lay on the floor.

To this blow, the merchants show agitation.

And here Walkins jumped from within the round table and stood beside me.

He leans on me like that.

I whispered quietly to her like that.

"... the merchant king's escort, are you okay?

Only the Merchant King is in the Round Table right now.

It's empty, so to speak.

In response to my concern, Walkins frowned a little.

"I'm sorry. Something unexpected just happened."

"Unexpected...?

Perhaps you're talking about the weird bird in front of you.

But so why should I come out of the round table?

"The merchant king's escort will continue.

However, to avoid any further distractions, we will give priority to the Regis escort. "

... In short, you mean this weird bird could be after my life?

But even with some distance, I don't think Walkins would be a problem.

When in doubt, the situation in front of me moved.

A monster bird pierced the zepil made a sticky laugh.

"That's pathetic, Zepil."

To that call, Zepil does not answer.

It doesn't even tickle, it just bleeds out of my chest.

Looking down at him, the strange bird mocked him even.

"Nothing is easier to manipulate than those driven by hatred.

You were an excellent handkerchief. "

I laugh at what's wrong with my mouth and whisk the right wing of iron.

Unpleasant sound as if you scratched the polished glass.

Weird birds still mock as they play the chilly sound.

"Kakakah, the blood muscles of a thin merchant at best.

Where hatred was turned into power, the limits were visible.

Who's going to keep a promise to a girl like that? "

Let the monstrous bird spit on the zepil for his ideals.

Meanwhile, I was feeling the wavelength of magic.

The source is right next to me.

"... Walkins?

That's right.

Walkins was stretching his magic very hard.

Perhaps detective magic.

I hear you've been using low-level products all the time.

This fluctuation is not unusual.

"- The woman there."

Here, a weird bird turns her black eyes on Walkins.

Can you even sense magic through the demon of use?

Imperial executives using this bird look like considerable magicians.

The strange bird laughed karakularly, staring at Walkins.

"It seems to spread a lot of detective magic,

No matter how much magic you put into it, you can't find my "everything” demon?

"- Huh"

I guessed it in one word.

I look out over the hall.

Then a big weird bird stopped in all the windows.

It's the end of being at the end of a hole in the ceiling.

Though I thought the only warcraft to serve was one in front of me.

I see, were you surrounded?

I can also snort that Walkins is alert.

But as for her, she seems to be concerned about something else.

"The magic that interferes with detective magic should not exist in the Empire."

"... ho?

I don't know why I can say it all, but you're right. Kakah. "

Interestingly, a strange bird tilts her neck.

Send an indiscreet gaze to Walkins, but she doesn't care.

I'm just going to give a partial reasoning.

"The legacy of Radius - is it?"

"Kakakakakakaka, it's obvious.

The relics of the King's people and other revulsions occur, but I use what I can use.

Because that's what His Majesty the Emperor intended. "

Are we still involved here - the legacy of Radius?

It should not exist in empires or kingdoms, such as the technology to bind something mechanical to warcraft.

It's obvious over-tech.

If such a thing exists, there is only one producer.

An unprecedented great inventor who was the best friend of the first king - I can't think of anything other than the first Radius.

The freak bird makes a dissatisfied voice as he moves his right wing.

"However, this technology is not suitable for invasion.

I would have liked a blueprint for a flaming steel car, but it seems to have been lost.

Kakaku, the kingdom nobles can't even get to the bone marrow. "

Perhaps you're talking about Sieg.

I heard the Shanleys wiped it out, but was the client an imperial executive?

and here the freaky bird stopped behaving perfectly.

And slowly turning his neck, he speaks to Walkins.

"Woman... have you seen him anywhere before?

Like a familiar face - "

"Just kidding, I'm a servant."

Walkins replied instantly with a spare grin.

Are you distracted, the weirdo cuts his gaze at the lack of interest.

"Kakakah, were you a filthy little girl?

Then I wouldn't have met him in the Imperial Room. "

"............... Hey"

What did you just say?

I was staring at strange birds reflexively.

I don't condone insulting Walkins. I can't say no.

You noticed my eyesight,

The weird bird makes a crisp noise and moves his neck.

"What? You're a messenger of the kingdom."

"- You can't even say hello yourself, you coward. You're not barking."

Taking my word for it, there was magic in the eyes of a strange bird.

Correspondingly, I'll take the chanting stand too.

But at that moment, I heard groans from the ground.

".................. ah"

A roar like enlightenment, a renunciation.

A zepil spilled blood from his mouth lifted his neck.

Seeing it, the freaky bird unlocked its magic.

And raise a high laugh full of adhesion.

"Oh? Ka who was still alive.

The ugliness of those who are paranoid in this world is horrible, kakakakaka-! "

Is the voice of the strange bird in your ear or is it not there?

Zepil points his vain eyes at the hollow ceiling.

And he groaned bossly with a trembling voice.

"... why so vain"

It was a moan of sorrow, poking at the hearers' breasts.

Zepil grips his red-stained right hand as long as he can.

And he spat out a grudge that drove him up his throat.

"Throw everything away... but I was trying to clear up my mother's and father's carelessness.

I resent the Union, trying to put my homeland back... it's moving on "

Blood clots leaking out of your mouth with gopogopo whenever you speak.

The blood tide was a sure sign that Zepil's death was imminent right there.

"And yet... while I can't exchange anything, am I dying..."

There were tears in Zepil's eyes, and he dropped zero in the sawdust.

And mourn with trembling irrationality to the death that awaits.

"The way I've been... what the hell was that"

the abandonment and fruitfulness of the Empire,

to the United Nations for revenge,

So he hung himself as a rebel,

Even the empire, which was my home country, betrays me.

Until then, when it comes to the end of my deeds,

A heartache of pain in my chest came through.

I'll put my hands on my chest.

"... Walkins. The Dragon God spoon..."

Although I carry it just in case, I only have raw medicinal herbs.

It's too risky to put this on, and if you do poorly, your spoon could break.

But still, it hurt my chest to keep killing me.

But - Walkins slowly shook his head to the side.

And he whispers in a whisper.

- Over there.

Sneak a look at the direction Walkins has shown.

Then all the weird birds surrounding this great hall were filled with magic.

If you get close enough, you'll get a simultaneous fire.

You can't even sit back and wait for me during the treatment.

Weird birds throw up uncomfortable words of ridicule.

"Kakah, that's ugly, Zepil.

Going around dying, like a potato worm? Kakakakakakakakaka. "

Trembling wings.

That alone conveyed how much fun those who serve are having.

But that's also for a while.

Weird birds brutally proclaimed against Zepil, whose life lights were about to go out.

"- It was a good spectacle. I haven't laughed in a while.

Come on, let's give you an incompetent death worthy of an incompetent life. "

With the words, magic dwelt in the eyes of the strange bird.

I guess we're going to fire the light again from earlier.

Zepil waited in tears, but with a face ready to die.

But...

"Please don't!

There was something stopping in front of Zepil here.

Sonia crept around the round table and blocked him from the birds.

"- Mr. Sonia!

I spoke out loud.

It's too dangerous.

The merchant kings who peel their eyes and marvel.

Worry about her. Not really, throw a voice of restraint across the faction.

"Lord Nash! You have to come back!

"Abandon zepils and such naturally! Rethink!"

But it wasn't the king of merchants in the round table who was most stunned and eyed.

He was dying and was still about to be stabbed in the stomach by Zepil.

"... of what, are you going"

Zepil looks up at Sonia, spitting blood all over her.

It would have been unexpected for an imperial executive to try to protect the hostile, the Merchant King.

While concentrating his magic, the monster bird utters a pioneering voice.

"Children of the Astrite family...... ca?

I'm going to talk to you later. "

What...?

Though I thought his only purpose was the elimination of Zepil and the annihilation of the Merchant King.

But a word emerged that smelled like room for negotiation.

Nevertheless, the exclusion of Zepil seems prescriptive.

Weird birds threaten to release their magic on the verge of release.

"Standing there means

I guess you're ready, huh? Lead Merchant Wang Nash "

- I won't let you kill Mr. Zepil.

But Sonia didn't pull a step back.

Trembling but not trying anywhere from in front of the zepil.

Zepil didn't mind spitting blood, he asked Sonia.

"Nash... do you understand...?

They say it's an act that doesn't produce any benefits and just endangers them.

Why - I try to help.

I guess that's weird and I can't wait.

You've got a lot of confusion coming out of you.

Zepil voiced consideration for Sonia.

"Get out of the way... I'm not going to go with my death"

"Yes. No"

Sonia answers forcefully.

But I definitely don't try to move a step.

Seeing it, Zepil silenced.

But he immediately glanced at Sonia and told her the facts he had been hiding.

"I'm the one who put your father in my hands."

"I know."

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

To Sonia, who responded immediately, Zepil peeled her eyes off.

I was aware that it was a parent's vendetta.

Then there shouldn't be any more reason to help yourself.

Zepil voiced suspicion from the bottom of his heart.

"Then why..."

"To clear your father's mind."

For no reason, I didn't get in between with irresponsible mercy.

There was her own answer, and after chewing it, she came to shelter Zepil.

With that said, Sonia turned to revenge rolling on the ground and harshly told.

"Death is escape.

To show you the weight of your sins.

To get people to reflect in jail.

I'm not letting you kill Mr. Zepil here. "

More than cheap death, bitter life.

It is the punishment that keeps reflecting that deserves the sinner.

I guess Sonia felt it.

But Zepil doesn't look convinced.

Seeing that, Sonia continued to be sad.

"Besides, Mr. Zepil..."

"KAKAKAKAKAKA! Kindness is wonderful.

Yeah, I know. Your blind sixteen-night godliness, right?

A strange bird pinches her mouth with a deaf voice.

It's a tone that sounds like it would make Sonia look like a heartfelt fool.

The Empire was ruled by atheism, a godless nation.

Remaining the prejudice cultivated there, the weird bird breaks Sonia's behavior as foolish.

"Crap, really crap.

The clergy temptation is funny because this is it.

Even though God and others are not in this world. Compassion for the hostiles, etc. "

"No, sir."

But Sonia blocked the voice.

To a voice full of determination, no strange bird can continue to speak.

"In the sixteen-night divinity,

There is no provision for the salvation of the wicked. "

"Kakaku, then why are you trying to save me?

That would have been what Zepil cared most about.

To be honest with you, I was confused that Sonia was in between.

But she put her hand on her chest and told her gently.

"- Mr. Zepil is the merchant king of our country."

Sin, and the Great Hall quiet back.

Sonia's heartfelt word took the word away from everyone on this occasion.

But the strange bird laughs at the bottom of his heart.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!

Funny...... say something really funny!

Crazy ka even if you're not too keen on faith?

A strange bird asked as he explored sincerity.

But Sonia didn't correct her remarks, she just quietly looked at the weird bird.

Did the reaction bother you, the weirdo shot Zepil in the mouth that sank on the floor.

"He crawled through the land in the Empire and was cut off from the Imperial Room, too, right?

It's useless in anybody's eyes, less than a third-class citizen's narcissist. "

Spicy words.

But Sonia shakes her head slowly.

And softly told of the appreciation of the imperial executives and the opposite.

"No. Mr. Zepil was the king of merchants until he was sentenced.

Supporting the Union - it's a merchant with the name of a golder.

Never your empire's, abandoned pawns, etc. "

The words seemed to echo the seemingly deadly zepil.

The words that Sonia has unleashed today are not just advocacy.

Zepils truncated by the Understanders of the Empire, the home country,

He decided it was an important resource for the Union.

That may not have been the heart, but the care for Zepil, who welcomes death.

But no other word Sonia hung.

Everyone in this room was wondering if that was a lie or a truth.

"Beautiful things that are inferior to hypocrisy... nauseating"

The strange bird spit out of his mouth.

I can see that the servant's frustration is in his hands.

But Sonia won't stop defending.

Merciful of the dying Zepil, as the Word confirms that it is sincere.

"Our country's merchant king is in crisis.

As the lead merchant, I can't go without you. "

To Sonia's proclamation, Zepil was completely speechless.

That was probably because Sonia was too far away from the resentment she thought she was going to tell me.

"Kill them as they are."

"It's convenient to save time on sentencing."

"Taste your father's suffering and die."

When such a voice could be hung, Zepil might have expected.

But what came out of Sonia's mouth were tender words trying to shelter Zepil.

Zepil trembles and grips both fists.

"... I am"

Zepil as he puts his strength all over his body.

With it, blood overflows from your chest and mouth.

But here lived the last light in Zepil's eyes.

"... can I be"

Squeeze the last force, and he opens his magic to full force.

Obvious overheating.

It was as if he was turning his last life, which no longer had dimensions, into all magic.

Sonia seems to have noticed this anomaly, too.

"... Mr. Zepil?

Scratch the cold sweat and stare at the zepil that lays on the floor.

But here the imperial executives cut the numbness more.

"Enough is enough, the excitement is shredded"

The freaky bird sighed a human smell.

And speak to Sonia with an ugly grin.

"Lead merchant king, by the way. What happened to the tablet you cherished?

"Huh..."

Sonia reached for her nostalgia.

And take out a single tablet as relieved.

But it's not a demon-sucking stone.

"Ko, this is... switching... ugh!?"

It was just a blank stone slab.

It is not a demon bloodsucking stone that connects the life of a merchant king.

Here, I heard the same weird bird from over my head.

If you look, a strange bird was glancing at his face from the edge of an open big hole.

His mouth is filled with demonic bloodsucking stones.

"Oh no, when...!

"Kakakaka, it's a broken bone to mess with the detective magic of the woman there.

But a moment's gap is enough. Blackbird is a useful warcraft. "

A strange bird stopping at the window and a strange bird stopping at the big hole gave a different laugh.

With it, the strange birds surrounding this great hall mocked it as they chorused.

How many are there?

I see, the unexpected thing Walkins was saying earlier - was this it?

A hidden warcraft not caught in detective magic.

Whatever power you have, there's nothing you can do if you can't discover the enemy.

Bad manipulation.

"Now, eighteen is also annoying to have a king and I can't help it.

Let's destroy it for a second and make a mistake. "

Feed your mouth into the tablet so that the weird birds on the ceiling stir up fear.

Seeing it, some merchants panicked.

"No, don't. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Come on, you don't have people's hearts!

".................. ugh"

I tongue and immediately try to chant magic.

But Walkins is only calm.

She had magic ahead of me.

If necessary, it can still be activated right now.

But how much sacrifice would it make to the Merchant King if we got into a brawl with the Birds here?

But as if to block the confusion here,

A roar ran through the great hall.

"... a demon's eye.

Turn my soul into a demon...!

Without leaving a single flame... pour out the unnecessary demon...!

Break the demon where I see it... destroy the covenant of old... ugh!

Along with the chant, Zepil's eyes glowed suspiciously.

I put into my eyes all the magic I had been saving and activated it.

Big magic spreads toward the weird birds.

――――

But there's nothing unusual about the weird birds in the ceiling.

Looking down at the mess of the king of merchants, a strange bird finally tried to chew up the tablet.

But here Walkins put his hands all the way down.

- You don't know what people's minds are like.

"Walkins......?

What, did you even fail to activate the magic?

Though I don't think it's possible, I try to activate magic instead.

But Walkins is slowly stopping it.

"What..."

"The ambitions of the Empire have already been shattered.

by a single merchant unnecessarily and truncated - "

That one word.

In Walkins' words, I guessed.

Mist away your magic and watch your enemies move.

Then the strange bird bit his mouth together with the voice of joy.

"Farewell, merchants.

Let's hear the will as a scream - ugh!

Baki, and a desperate sound sounded.

The demonic pseudo-organ embedded in the tablet is double-broken, and the tablet is crushed and scattered.

If contract magic is activated, everyone's heart will burst.

Almost all the merchants were ready to die.

"... that"

"... nothing, you say?

The merchant kings become too rigid of confusion.

All the merchant kings under contract stood up, including Sonia.

But more confusing than that is the imperial executives.

The strange bird shakes the crustacean part of the gully and iron with wings.

"Stupid...... why die?

Was it a lie or a lie that the first generations had a contract?

"No... I did have a contract."

To the voice of a strange bird, there is one thing to answer.

I can no longer even lift my neck, it's a dying zepil.

He squeezes his last strength and spins his bloody mixed voice.

"That tablet has... thousands of people who can kill it lightly,

There was a tremendous amount of magic... and it stayed there. "

To the words, the strange bird opened his eyes.

I guess I finally realized.

I don't know why the contract magic that hung on the tablet didn't work.

"... zepillu! No way, you!

"What I have... are two demon eyes in this world.

That, too, is of the Great Spirit...

Even if it's robust contract magic...

Turn your soul into magic and you can defeat it… yes, I thought. "

Devil's Eye.

Astina, Lord Devil's Eye, who took the alias for God's killing, dropped it - the shape of the Great Spirit.

No matter what great magician the person who did the contract magic is, it is not far from the Spirit's interfering power.

They cut all their lives and broke the contract magic that binds the hearts of the merchants.

But the price is high.

"... ugh, gee ho, gobble"

Big blood throwing up that makes you wonder where it came from.

Look at this, Sonia wakes up Zepil's upper body.

"Ze, Mr. Zepil......!

Zepil hated the king of merchants and even tried to crush the country.

Such a man rescinded the contract magic at the end and helped the merchant king.

Herabellio, who kept calm, also leaked his surprise.

"Zepil, you...... why"

"... I'm the best, I don't know"

Zepil moved his mouth to bitterness.

And smile mockingly.

Out of those eyes, the magic was already completely gone.

On the contrary, the wavelength of magic is extinguished from the whole body.

I can no longer move one finger.

To Sonia as she poured her gaze, Zepil told her to moan.

"... there is no fine dust, such as the thought of apologizing.

For what I've accomplished... there's just not one thing I regret "

"Then why the contract magic..."

Sonia said with tears in her eyes.

The tears are certainly not due to fear or confusion.

It was an expression of mercy towards an endless man.

"It's just that at the end of the day... maybe he wanted to exchange something"

Zepil tries to hold his fist with slight force.

But my fingertips just moved a little, tickled.

Admit it, Zepil scoffed at himself.

"No... you're not.

”I wanted you to admit it"... that's such a dirty, stupid, lowly idea... "

From Sonia's eyes, a glimmer of tears fell.

It falls into the face of Zepil and becomes a droplet.

But soon I didn't know whose it belonged to.

There was no other tear spilled by Zepil.

"... never, ever forgiven... for being a great sinner.

Praise me... when I get it, you thought...!

Really, shallow... "

Reason for cancelling the contract magic.

That was the last sign of hope that Zepil wished for.

Those who have lost all their places have asked for the destination of the end.

"Really, until the end of the day, I... couldn't be anything, I was halfway there"

That said, Zepil closes his eyes.

Once that lid goes down, it won't open again.

Zepil sinks into the abyss of blood tears.

But Sonia spoke so kindly to him.

Mr. Zepil is the king of merchants.

It's too soft to hang a sinner.

"I don't care what anyone says, I'm a merchant in my country"

The one who was nothing wanted to hear the most...

It quenched my soul, it was a word of mercy.

"... ah"

I won't even go around Lu Rhythm anymore.

You won't even see the light anymore.

"... will you"

But among other things, Zepil looked to Sonia.

His expression, wet with tears, turns into something calm.

"Will you let me die... as the king of merchants..."

Finally, Zepil turned his stuck face into a laugh.

No evil as ever, no fragment of hostility or sarcasm.

It was just pure - I was thankful for my last salvation.

"That must be... because it feels good..."

A man chased by the Empire and made a sinner in the Union.

Zepil Golder Duranir ended his life as a merchant.

◆ ◆ ◆

Silence dominates the Great Hall.

I guess the merchants feel the bad aftertaste of loneliness without a place to go.

Even I felt subtle when I wasn't the object of hatred.

Having crossed with Zepil as the same king of merchants, they should be in an extra state to look inside.

But here, a strange bird broke the silence with a grumpy voice.

"Dead ka. I didn't know you'd even throw away your hold as a vengeful man.

- Are you going to redeem me? I don't care. I'm dying. "

Look at the wreckage of Zepil and throw up the spicy words.

"Really, until the end, he was a halfway fool."

- You're the only one who thinks so.

Sonia objected to the words of the strange bird.

Shit, I want you to provoke me after evacuation.

Me and Walkins moved Zepil's remains into the round table while sheltering Sonia.

Everyone enters the round table, including me.

This made the escort very easy.

Here, Sonia told the weirdo again.

"Mr. Zepil's plan was broken, and the life of the merchant king was preserved. Your empire lost."

"... of the Empire, lose?

The weird bird tilts his neck in a decent way.

And the next moment, I laughed heavily with my ears stuck.

"Kakakakakakakakakakakakaka!

Lose, ”lose” hey! Kakakakakakakakaka! "

The weird bird looks to Sonia and emits a good voice.

"I told you.

That the purpose has already been fulfilled. Otherwise, it would kill Zepil. "

Was the main purpose, after all, the annihilation of Zepil?

Looks like he was trying to shatter the stone slab, but he still has measures in place.

The discomfort I just remembered - the fact that I was trying to bring negotiations to the Sonians.

The whole story is going to be revealed here.

"So - shall we get down to business?

Think of it as an angel from the Empire, and listen to me. "

You're positioning yourself a lot better.

I heard it was an executive, but is it the Emperor's blood to bring him into the Imperial Room?

Sure, this guy's words will be limitless close to the Empire's intentions.

The Bird turned his gaze to me after he had his voice fixed.

"First of all, messenger of the kingdom, thank you for coming.

Thanks to this we were able to induce the Merchant King's Council and gather all the Merchant Kings to the capital "

With words, the Birds gather their magic into the eyes.

I know you're trying to restrain me, but jokes don't work against me.

Me and Walkins take counter-attacks at exactly the same time.

Then, the weird birds gently waved their wings and scattered their magic.

"Whoa, don't kill me. Don't get me wrong, but I'm here to negotiate."

"Then ask for help as a messenger."

Sonia, as the lead merchant king,

It hits the response with vigilance.

"Kakaku, I don't like long stories. Let's put it bluntly."

The weirdo breathes deeply.

And after a beating, he also made a proclamation about his hair.

"200,000 - We have three times the standing capacity of your United Nations on standby at the border."

".................. Nah!

"To, 200,000... ugh!?

The merchants were stunned.

Even if the kingdom gathers all its troops from the provinces, it will not be far off.

It can be done because it is an empire that is overwhelmingly superior in quantity - number of violence.

Flirting it, the weird bird has told the cat in a whisper.

"If you surrender, you will be first class citizens.

Let the people of the United States welcome you as a second-class citizen - dear, descend to the military gates of our empire. "

"- Huh"

Tension runs with the Merchant King.

This, in short, is a surrender recommendation from the Empire to the Union.

I mean renounce all force and become an empire colony.

The weird bird proclaims himself good at it with his throat ringing.

"You know what happens if I say no?

No matter how powerful you merchants may be,

Perfume is a playing country created by both humble merchants.

From the empire that binds the famous faction, it's just a colonial candidate. "

Indeed, the private soldiers held by the Merchant King himself are not highly skilled.

With just a few exceptions, gathering soldiers would be inferior to the Empire in both quality and quantity.

Based on that, says the weird bird.

"For the sake of the people..."

"- Say no"

But here an old voice blocked the story of a weird bird.

Herabellio the Merchant expressed his opinion.

"I'm sorry.

All that's left here is money.

If you surrender, you'll be deprived of your property. You can't resist. "

All the merchants nodded at this word.

not a single rock. The merchants,

That's perfectly consistent with the thought of not wanting to come under the empire.

The rebutted weirdo stares at Herabellio.

"... you know what I mean? How many people..."

"Shut the fuck up, you fucking military state!

Better overwhelmingly than miserably enslaving you!

But here the wrath of the merchants erupted.

Show fury like a fiery fire against the strange bird who recommends surrender.

"This country is the ideal home for merchants!

I will not allow you to succumb to a man capable of war!

"Where do you import your military goods from?

An amateur who doesn't know the horrors of cargo retention! You pick a lot of people to sell fights to!

The pro-Imperial faction, which was exporting heavily to the Empire, came here and gained momentum.

As soon as the Empire no longer guarantees us status, this is it.

I feel like I'm crunching my palm too much.

The purpose of anti-empire is unanimous, so I don't have to say anything.

"If you really want,

Attack like an invading nation!

All the merchant kings declared hostility.

I was good at it as a business partner.

If you're going to be exercising force control, that would mean something different.

After hearing the voices of all the merchants, Sonia told them on their behalf.

- This is the merchant king's idea of the United States.

"... Hmm, let's be good. Understood."

Unsurprisingly, the strange bird nodded soundly.

It's as if I had predicted that response.

Then the next moment, the mouth angle of the monster bird hung.

"- Then, 200,000 Imperial Regular Army will deal with you with them with seriousness.

I look forward to slaughtering the clan royalists now. Kakakakakakakakaka. "

This guy... were you going to be able to fight the Union from the start?

They rebelled Zepil as a preemptive.

The freaky bird looked over at the king of merchants delightfully, but he makes a sound like he noticed something.

"Oh, yeah, yeah - I'll tell you one last good thing"

To that one word, tension runs in the faces of the merchants.

It was an inexplicable proclamation that was finally rolled out of the strange bird.

"But don't think you can count on reinforcements from the kingdom, do you?

"... what?

Like the Kings of Merchants, I'll come up with something.

Say something funny.

If you fly reinforcement messengers, the Royal Army will fly.

"It is unexpected that the messenger of the Kingdom has entered the Union.

And even the fabric stones that we kept in the kingdom will end in captivity. "

Oh, you did the king.

Were you able to bluff with a snitch to the Empire?

Now our purpose as kingdoms is fully achieved.

"A reinforcement envoy reaches the kingdom - that's all we have to prevent.

Now that we're here, we can't see a single risk of uncertainty. "

The weird bird makes a crisp noise and swirls around his neck.

The limits of the organism were exceeded and rotated once 360 degrees.

And the next moment, he said something desperate.

"- Omnidirectional. It's a complete siege without some gaps.

One mouse, not allowed out of the country.

The next time the kingdom hears the news of the Union, it will be imperial territory. "

".................. Nah!?"

because the Union and the Kingdom have a topographical separation,

If the messenger doesn't go, he can't detect the anomaly.

Therefore, if all the messengers are stopped, the kingdom cannot move either.

The merchant kings, who had expected reinforcements from the kingdom, were stunned.

After a delightful glimpse of the expression, the strange bird spread its wings.

"Well, let's have some free time - use these 10 as wolf smoke for the Imperial March."

At that moment, the mechanical part of the monster bird flashed red.

And from all directions, the birds rush into each other with a round table.

This is it after all.

I intend to destroy more than one Merchant King.

Well - I thought that was about it.

"Walkins, now!

"Copy that!

Me and Walkins have unlocked their magic.

That's why they evacuated all the merchants, including us, into the roundtable.

"Excuse me, Sonia! I'll burn the merchant hall!

"... Huh? Ah, ha... yes!

All right, I got the landlord's permission, too.

Me and Walkins figure out how the Birds move, while timing the magic activation.

I felt a strong fire magic wave from a ramping freak bird.

Probably aiming to detonate by fire magic.

"If we blow it up outside this round table..."

"The damage is absolutely zero!

Well, Mr. Imperial Executives.

Don't tell me 10 wings stinks.

The weird birds that are here, I'll turn them all into grilled chickens.

"Let's go, Walkins!

"Yes!"

Expand your magic in all directions with two people.

On top of that, he unleashed the magic of fire on the entire mall.

"" Ignite Hell!

In my first wave, the 10 that were close together detonated.

But the barrier stretched around the round table nullifies all fire magic.

Walkins' second wave strikes as he engages the bizarre birds around him in a detonation.

I broke into this hall and tore away the monster birds.

The moment the last one exploded, he heard the tongue of an imperial executive.

".....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Destroy a bunch of weird birds that are going to cost a lot of design.

I don't think it hurts my nostrils to this extent, but I'm satisfied because I put my mind to it.

Now we can destroy all our enemies.

A flame swirling in search of an exit in the trade hall,

It was as if he were announcing a fanfare of victory.

Then the next moment...

"Alright, the only place left is the merchant hall!

If we have more enemies, it's the only one in here!

A voice full of confidence and refreshment can be heard from in front of the mall.

Bud.

I've completely defeated the troops outside.

I guess he tried to come and back me up.

"... Oh, no"

It's a little bad in the building right now.

I flew a telepath to Bud in a hurry.

But before he could successfully communicate, he kicked through the door.

"You can't just give me a handle. Hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Follow me. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

And naturally,

The flames that were winding the vortex blew out vigorously outside.

It is a complete direct hit course.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The next moment, Bud's scream echoed.

But the subsequent soldier, who sensed enthusiasm, dodged it with criticism.

The only damage caused by the no-go flames remained in Bud.

... Let's knock when we go into people's homes.

[Proceedings of the 762nd Merchant King's Council and Summary]

A massive incident erupted in the capital of the Union.

At our King of Merchants meeting held by Sonia, the King of Merchants, Zepil, extended to the conspiracy.

The main culprit, Zepil, tried to hang all the merchant kings in his hands after killing the belly-hearted Avalo.

But less damaged and suppressed by the struggle of the kingdom's envoys.

At this time, the contract for the tablet, which has been a matter of concern for many years, is cancelled.

Then a declaration of war was made by the Imperial Executives and the engagement with the Empire began.

Each Merchant King immediately returns to the permanent city and is unanimous in his policy of providing defense.

He promptly requested reinforcements from the kingdom and was repelled from the Imperial invaders.

To protect the ideal home of a merchant.
