Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"Dear Noyne, Actually a customer arrived earlier..."

Set near the castle of Lend, in the heart of the imperial capital, this architecture, though not large, is of a more sophisticated form than the surrounding buildings. That is the clerical detachment reserved for the Crown Prince of this country.

Recently, the presence of Filament operatives was revealed over Rialto, and Noyne, who oversees the military and security of this country, had always felt anxious that the statue of the killer could not be grasped. Such an arrowhead is an unexpected and sudden visitor visit. He couldn't help but hide his grumpy look at the report.

"Guest? I don't suppose I had any plans to meet someone today."

"It was a customer who came all of a sudden... who is named Istarz."

Medek, who can be used on the side as his deputy, sees the Crown Prince's displeasure and speaks words in the form he said he was terrified.

Meanwhile, Noyne, who received that additional report, as he rapidly turned the list of names in his brain, reached the name of the person written in red and opened his eyes with surprise.

"Istartz... No way, that Yui Istartz!

"Probably..."

Hearing Medek's response, Noyne shows a slight gesture of contemplation.

Yui Istarz. He has only seen its existence in the distance during parties, but he hated Yui Istarz, mainly for his military affairs as a ground.

But when I tell myself that there is nothing more foolish than judging by emotion alone, I recall what my father Rialto, the emperor, had mentioned about Yui the other day, and Noyne makes one decision.

"Fine. I'll see you with Clarice's hero. Bring him here."

The moment Noin utters the word with a wrinkle on his forehead, Medek, who thought he hated Yui, only gives him an unexpected look for a moment. Faithful to his duties, however, he quickly disobeyed Noyne's instructions and rushed out of the room in order to obey them.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness. My name is Yui Istarz, and I'm a diplomatic ambassador to Clarice."

Yui, passed to Noin's office, looks unexpectedly at the creation of a very simple room unsuitable for his position, while still moving forward and bowing his head.

"Your valiant name is overheard, take it easy on me. Okay, so while you were busy, what exactly was the reason you bothered to get to me today?

"No, as soon as I wanted to greet His Highness once as Clarice's ambassador that he was partitioning the substance of this country,"

Suggested a barely decorative chair across the street from the clerk's seat, Yui sits back on it and mouths a visible pre-construction with a grin.

"Hmm. I didn't know that Lord Yui Istarz would bother to get under me just to say hello...... this is as much as I'm afraid. But I'm busy, too. We didn't have any meetings scheduled for today, so we can't take up much of your time. I'm sorry, but if there seems to be anything I can do for you, I'd appreciate hearing from you at a later date."

Even though he is dressed as Clarice's diplomatic ambassador, he is somewhat sloppy with the look of the military. Seeing Yui like that, the instinctive disgust Noyne hangs a shake that also includes the meaning of harassment to make the true purpose of the visit clear.

As for Noyne, at the time she suddenly came to see herself, she had erased the possibility that Yui had simply come to greet her. Because the man in front of you holds the position of diplomatic ambassador, and if it is really for the purpose of greeting him, it is naturally a matter of courtesy that he has the degree of prior contact.

And although it seems inconsistent with his inner sentiments about Yui, the mood he didn't even want to think his army had just been ruined without courtesy also held back his thoughts like that.

Therefore, Noyne thought that the visit at this time was meant to make some kind of negotiation against himself, the Crown Prince. That is why he took the lead in obtaining his own advantage in the negotiations that would begin after this.

On the other hand, when Yui received such noin's words and actions, he acted quite differently from Noin's assumptions. Instead of rushing to ask the crown prince to listen to him, Yui stood still and tried to leave the room.

"Really, that's a shame. Actually, the executor on the other day has been narrowed down, so I was hoping we could talk a little bit about that at the end of the greeting...... Now let me change my chances"

Leaving that word behind, Yui puts her hand on the door of the room. And without any hesitation, as he opened the door and stepped one foot out into the hallway, Noyne became a bitter, bug-bitten expression that inevitably called out to Yui's back.

"I was wondering if you could give me a moment. Did your lord tell you the executioner was squeezed now?... Is that about the assassination attempt on Your Majesty and your lord the other day?

"Yeah, you're right, but what's that?

Yui takes the time to look back and gives a light response as opposed to the movement.

Meanwhile, in response to Yui's reaction, Noin admitted here that his flag color was poor when he gently chewed his lower lip.

"Lord Istarts... I will cancel my appointments after this, could you please talk a little about the matter?

"Is that it? Your Highness said you were busy, but can you really listen to me and other things?"

Yui scratches her head as she turns her gaze toward Noyne, with people's bad grin.

Noin, who saw such a Yui trick, when he removed the ornament from both the words and the expression just because he couldn't stand it anymore, he utters the vegan words straight towards Yui.

"... come on, don't stop the conversations and rushes, Istarz. You don't really want to go home anyway, do you?

"Ha, you're right. Yeah, simplicity is still the best part of every negotiation. It's not my hobby to talk about them while exploring them."

Yui returns to the center of the room with a bitter laugh, sitting back on the chair she had hung earlier and putting her feet together.

"Fine. It's a reciprocal conversation from here. If you don't want to use something else, don't use reverence, and you can call me Noine. So, is it true we found out who did this to Filament?

"Yes, the killer was brought to Mirahoff in Philamento."

Yui simply returns an answer, as if the conversation had been a lie, exploring each other.

However, Noyne, who received that answer, overheard the word Mirahoff and slightly clogged the word.

"Mirahov...... so. Isn't it the mainstream of the Magic Duchy that goes into three fingers among the Magic Duchy?"

"Of course, it may have been someone to the extent of usage for Mirahoff that extended directly to the offense. But at least I'm pretty sure they learned magic at some magic school."

"Is that true? I dare ask, assuming that's the truth, how did you know that?

Noyne, who delivers the military and the security services to the distributors, has not yet achieved any results, even though he has initiated an investigation. However, he asks so with a look of surprise and remorse that Yui, a man of another country, has lightly arrived at the culprit.

"Isn't it time for Imperial Intelligence to examine my abilities? His Majesty Rialto was there the other day. I know you've been watching me. Yeah, that's why I think it's about the time I already had more or less predictions."

"... a magical alteration capability"

Mouth Yui, who grins like he ate a man while scratching his head, whose ability name he could not believe as Noine, even though the report from the intelligence department states that possibility.

"Your answer… hehe, should I just say Empire"

"Well, you can say whatever you want... so if you know that much, how did you get to me this time? You heard you were close to my father, and you could have reported it to him. Instead, I don't even think you have a duty to bother reporting it to the Empire."

Noyne asks Yui so, staring to explore its sincerity.

Meanwhile, in response to that inquiry, Yui shook her neck left and right as she opened her hands left and right.

"You're absolutely right, but I chose you for a reason, and of course what I told the Empire makes sense."

"Well... if you don't mind, why don't you let me know?

Aware that he was entirely in the lead by Yui, and even with a slight frustration, Noyne asks so while consciously calming his own mind.

"Yeah, I don't mind. First of all, I chose you because I thought you were probably the most compatible with me in the empire."

"... why do you think so. At this point, honestly, I don't like you."

Because Yui uttered the exact opposite of his feelings, he also forgot that the man in front of him was an ambassador, and Noyne exposes his honest mind.

But Yui, who was told directly that he hated it, smiled bitterly as he scratched his head, without much wind to worry about.

"Well, you must be. You are in a position to divide the army. No one hates me, no one likes me for a reason."

"If so... why?

"Because that's what you say. Honestly, you're the one who's told me you don't like me, which is why I brought the story. I hear that you are royal, but your ideas and thinking are very close to those of the military. In other words, he's very simple. That's why I thought you would cooperate if I told you honestly about this case. As a soldier."

Yui leaves a bitter laugh, emphasizing what she and Noine have in common.

Noyne, hearing the word, then slightly loosened the previously risky look as to whether there was anything to think of the word military man.

"... that's an interesting way to look at it. But this is the first time I've seen a guy like you make such a fuzzy statement and attitude towards me."

"Ha, Your Highness said it was a reciprocal conversation, so I'm just sweetening you to the word. Again, should I put some more clothes on my teeth?

When Yui says so while scratching his head, for the first time during this meeting Noin smiles and utters words in a slightly soft tone.

"It doesn't matter, Istarz. If you're a soldier like me, you know it's useless. Well, suppose it's a good idea that you chose me. I also said there was a reason to try to communicate the findings to the imperial humans, but what the hell is that?

"It's simple. Because I want you to fight in favor of the Empire in the next battle."

In response to Noyne's inquiry, Yui answers him extremely concisely at an early, arguably reflexive time.

"... what the hell does that mean?

"Right...... like I said earlier, this time something that takes you to Mirahoff in Filament pulled that trigger. Now, how many of them do you think are breathing in the Empire?

Suddenly, in response to Yui's inquiry, which was released by turning the story, Noyne, who had not marked a Mirahov-based magician at all, stuffs the words without even being able to imagine them.

"Oh, that's..."

"thirteen to senior officials within the present empire"

"Hey, what the hell!

To such a large number that he did not assume, Noyne unexpectedly hoisted his eyebrows while expressing surprise, Yui continues his words intact after nodding once.

"And the highest-ranking is General Zeliam, assistant director of the Policing Department. Isn't that right, Kreha?"

Yeah, you're right.

When Yui suddenly looked back and uttered that word, he stood softly on the spot as if when he had entered this space and Cleja, dressed in maid clothes, had been there for a long time.

"Come on, how long have you been there?

"It's been a while. He's protecting me, just like you're holding a soldier in the next room."

"I don't think it's easy to get into this room..."

Knowing how much unexpected it was to pass an unplanned guest, Noyne speaks angrily, knowing that he was easily snuck into his own office.

"Well, let's leave that now... Kreha, did you grab their tail?

"Yeah, you were right. policing department to be Zeliam's subordinate. All the people there are suspected of connecting to the endless filaments."

Noyne, who opened his eyes to the contents of Kreha's mouth, hurriedly opened his mouth as it was.

But earlier than he uttered the word, Yui moved the conversation further forward.

"Is that where it came from after all..."

"Yeah, he's totally black. The man who turned into this butler was also breaking into the venue by his guidance. This is the document he made up, and this is the report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was grabbed by him at hand."

When the names of his own men, which were not entirely expected, were mentioned, Noyne could not even utter any more words and remained stiff with both eyes open.

With such an eye for his upset, Cleja throws a bunch of paperwork toward the Crown Prince in order to present the basis for his own remarks when he glances only at Noyne.

"This is... No way, Zeliam."

Noyne, who looked through a bunch of documents across that dozen pieces at once, placed the documents on his desk, holding his head with both hands and silence.

Even though Zeliam was not originally an Imperial nobleman, he is said to have ascended to the post of Chief of the Security Department by his efforts, a model case of the birth of a common man.

But behind the image of a man of such effort, Crech's investigative documents stated that his birth streets had taken that path by dirty means of bribery and intimidation and the disappearance of dignitaries. And, naturally, he could not carry out such a task alone, and at the end of that document was the name of the sponsor who supported his long-standing activities, that is, the Mirahov family in Filamento.

"… Your Highness. You just read that dossier, and you have a little story from me?

"Is there anything more..."

Because it was an unexpected shock, Noyne could hardly wake up with her head in her arms. So Yui turns to the nagging Crown Prince in front of him, and after leaving for a little while, he talks straight.

"No, it's not a big deal...... it's actually your birthday party scheduled for next month, but it looks like there are numerous deficiencies in the paperwork submitted by the vendor entrusted with delivering that food. So, if you look closely, they're also like the vendors selected by Assistant General Zeliam."

"Hey, what the hell! Is that true? Which means the next thing he's after..."

Becoming overheard of Zeliam's name, Noyne feels herself the next target and fortifies her expression as soon as possible.

Yui, who saw such a noise reaction, spoke to him in a gentle tone when he had a calm grin that it was only about time.

"Well, Your Highness. So here's one suggestion and a favor from me...... if you'd like to ask me a few questions?
