Dani looked at her cured mother with a face that she could see even at first incredible.


    I was just begging for help, and I guess I didn''t actually think it was possible.


    Well, naturally.


    Dani''s mother''s disease is inherently a disease of death.


    If you truly believed that someone who just stumbled through something like that could be cured, on the contrary, you''d be worried enough.


    Even if you wanted to believe it, it''s normal that you can''t believe it.


    But Dani''s emotions exploded the moment she found out that she had really healed.


    First tears overflowed from my eyes, but there was a grin in my mouth.


    And as it were, he bowed his head again and again, and said a word of gratitude.


    Thank you, my voice was trembling, but it was a sincere word, so that everyone who heard it was heartfelt grateful could recognize it.


    By the way, it was supposed to be Aina who cured it, so it was Aina who was pointed at it.


    He looked like he was in deep trouble and pointed his face at Soma just to rece him, but he is naturally through.


    The situation continued until Dani suddenly fell into the spot, whether she was tired of crying, or whether she was simply umting fatigue, or whether the thread of tension had been cut in appeasement in addition to both of them.


    So.


    "Damn, I didn''t do anything anymore. I feel so guilty...?


    "What, Eina will soon be able to cure such a disease and so on. In the end it is the same thing"


    "Not at all...! Damn, really you...!


    "... but Dani appreciated it"


    "I know, but that''s not what I''m supposed to receive.... but well, that''s why I thought about it. He said," Let me try to be what I deserve so that that word doesn''t lie. "


    Aina''s eyes, who said so, were full of determination.


    It was somewhat forced, but apparently this time things went well.


    Now whine as you breathe out a small breath looking out onto Aina''s side.


    "So in the end, where are we headed?


    It was against She that I turned that word.


    We can''t stay long in Dani''s house, where the person in the house that is just happening is gone, and Dani''s houseter, but then again, when we decided to talk somewhere, She began to take the lead somewhere.


    Well I can somehow imagine where she''s headed... She stopped in front of one house while she said that.


    It is a wooden house simr to Dani''s, and She opens it unconstitutionally as she approaches its door without hesitation.


    And as I stepped straight into the house, I looked back, and I said something.


    "...e in"


    "... still short of words"


    "Wouldn''t it be nice to predict somehow?


    "Well, it is."


    If I continuedter with that said, the interior was still simr to Dani''s house.


    Apparently, the number of rooms is the same, although this time we won''t go as far as the room.


    When passed to the living room, She sits in one of the chairs and with her gaze prompts the Somas to sit as well.


    There is no particr point in turning against it, neither smiling bitterly nor floating in the same way.


    So when we both sat in the chair, we opened our mouths to hear what we needed to hear first for now.


    "Hmmm... is this house supposed to be She''s house for now?


    "... Well, technically, I owe you, but I will"


    "That means you live here, after all, right?


    "... n"


    "Dani told me that a caution stick is being hired in this vige..."


    "... that''s me"


    I still snort.


    Considering She''s not supposed to be a Veritas person here, that''s all that''s gonna happen.


    The question is, how did that happen?


    "... when I came to Veritas to gather information, things happened"


    That''s what She said when she turned her urging gaze, but h, h, h, h, h, h, h. I didn''t know.


    I mean, I think all that matters... well, I''m going to have to loosen it up a little bit.


    "How long have you been collecting information?


    "... um, quite a while ago?... since Soma disappeared"


    "Hmm? Is that it?


    That was a little unexpected.


    Because I thought it was a collection of information in the same sense that the Somas came here.


    But if you think about it a little bit, you realize that this is normal.


    It''s simply a physical distance.


    The ce where Soma and the others are now is near the border close to the Empire.


    It was too far from Radius and it was just hard to get around in two weeks.


    "Hmm... What information were you collecting in the first ce?


    "... Various?


    "Well I guess so...... then how did that happen?


    "... to support Soma?


    "My life, is it?


    "... n, this is more due to the decision making of Radius as a whole than to me.... Hildegard said it was early, but Radius didn''t think the words from the Virgin were a total lie.... Rather, I predicted that something simr would actually happen one day.... and it actually did"


    "That''s a promation from the Empire, right?


    "...... hmm.... but it was before I moved.... because I had concerns first to move as Radius"


    "Oh, I see, is that what this is about? Indeed, what happens to Veritas in the middle of civil unrest and how he moves is the most important thing to know from Radius."


    "But so, why did She move? If you think of it asbat capability, you sure don''t have a problem with it, but I find it hard to move, considering that it''s an elf?


    I''ve touched it before, but Veritas is a nation of human species.


    Other races are difficult to live and spend.


    Sometimes it''s in the middle of civil unrest, and if there was an elf, it would definitely stand out.


    But to Aina''s question, She answered by shaking her head to the side.


    "... Rather, it''s not weird to move around because you''re an elf.... If you get caught up in something, it''s normal to move around trying to gather information.... if you don''t know what you''re talking about."


    "Uh... I see? If you disguise yourself as a wind caught in it, isn''t it strange that you''re moving around all over Veritas because you''re an elf?


    "Well, either way, there will be vignce, but surely there will be less vignce than someone of the human species moving around"


    "... and then I''m probably the least known of Radius"


    "Oh... you''re basically hiding your face. Except in the college, but that''s what they wouldn''t know outside."


    "... so I explored a lot, and one time I was supposed to help someone."


    "Someone, is it?


    "... n, the vige chief here. … so from there I decided to do the caution stick with the flow"


    "Wait a minute, I think we''re talking again? Where''s the information gathering?


    You can do whatever you want if you''re moving individually, but She said earlier that she was moving as Radius.


    Yet it would not be a good idea to let go of gathering information and serve as a caution stick for one vige.


    But I don''t think She would do such a mess, so there''s no doubt there''s some reason there.


    Should doing a caution stick be a priority as a result...... or.


    Just because it doesn''t look that way, it actuallybines information-gathering or is.


    "Hmm... By the way, this vige is a long way from Radius, but how did you get the chance to encounter the vige chief in such a ce?


    "... there are a lot of things going on"


    "No. Well, I guess so."


    "... Honestly, I don''t know if I can talk, so I can''t talk"


    "Ho... I don''t care what you think. It''s a vige in circumstance"


    At any rate, there was a great bond there.


    I''d be surprised if they told me there were no circumstances.


    Moreover, the fact that She speaks so clearly apparently has a great deal of trouble.


    We shouldn''t be poking around here badly.


    but at the same time, that''s why, to some extent, you''ll need to know.


    Knowing nothing means having nothing to standard.


    It could also mean that I was sticking my hand where it was toote when I realized it.


    It''s not stingy to get involved at the point where She is involved, but I just want to know about that.


    Veritas is just a guess, but there is a good chance that there is a demon.


    I don''t think even that soma can afford to do anything else while dealing with the devil.


    To avoid that, we needed to keep our intelligence gathering in ce.


    "Hmm... if you can''t say it, you don''t have to say it, but what vige is this after all? From what I''ve seen, it didn''t look like he was having that much trouble."


    "... the vigers don''te out of their basic homes, so it''s natural to think so."


    "That means there''s something about the vigers, right? But Dani and the others looked normal, didn''t they?


    "... naturally because Dani''s mother is a normal human species.... Dani doesn''t know from the outside either because of her thin blood"


    "I see... that''s all I know enough. In other words, is this a vige inhabited mainly by non-human species"


    I was surprised as a soma, to be honest, even as I watched She snort.


    As I said earlier, Veritas is a country of the human species.


    That means that even one vige does not exist except in settlements created by human species.


    That''s what a nation of the human species is, and among other things, Veritas should have been thorough about the area.


    It is true that this ce is close to the border and off from Veritas, but soma was at least the first ear, such as the existence of viges inhabited by non-human species nheless.


    "... So this is, like, a kind of hiding ce. … so it is"


    "Are you?


    "... you shouldn''t ask any more"


    "… is it so"


    Actually, at this point, there was a certain thing going on in Soma''s head, but he didn''t dare put it in his mouth.


    Because it is certain that at that moment you will definitely get into trouble.


    Exactly enough information was not enough for me to think I could get involved here.


    "... hiding ces inhabited mainly by people other than the human species, ces like? Is that... could it be...?


    "Hmm? Aina, have you noticed anything?


    "There is if you say there is... no, fine. Something that we haven''t proved yet. There''s no certainty, but it''s not something I can talk about, and I''ll talk about it when I''m sure."


    "Hmm, is that right..."


    I don''t know if it''s the same thing I did with Soma''s head, but for now, it seems better not to mention it.


    And for now, is this the ce to ask?


    "... n, over?


    "That''s right. I don''t know much about it, but I think I know more or less about She."


    "Right. It''s going to be something I can''t talk aboutter."


    "... Well, then it''s our turn next.... Why are the Somas here?


    To She''s doubts, Soma went from start to finish exining the order.


    That I followed the Sacred Capital, that I met God.


    About the Demon King, about the devil, meeting Hildegard and Eina, and being taken to the Empire that way.


    I also talked about the upside down in the empire, and why I was supposed toe here, She. If you''re my opponent, there''s nothing to hide, so I talked about it, albeit roughly.


    "... that''s Soma?... the same."


    "Well, that''s what you''d think."


    "As for me, even if they say so, it feels like"


    She looked surprised when she said she had just met God, but at other times she remained a scarce face on her usual expression.


    But from the mouthfeel, he was apparently quite surprised about other things.


    Then She nodded several times inside herself to chew her current story, and then she turned her gaze to this one again.


    "... I mean, the Somas are here to find out what that light is?


    "Um, does that mean She saw it, too?


    "... Yeah, I saw it.... They also saw all the people in the vige.... but we don''t know anything else."


    "Which part of Daiyuan was it, too?


    "... in the direction of the Wang capital, about?... we''re investigating it here and now."


    "Yeah? Are you investigating?


    "... well, I haven''t done much yet, for once"


    "Hmm..."


    To say so still seems to make no mistake to think that Soma''s predictions were met.


    In other words, She uses caution sticks, but actually collects information.


    So when I turned my gaze to Aina, I shrugged my shoulder.


    Apparently Eina has reached the same conclusion as Soma, and she''s telling me to like it on top of that.


    Thankfully.


    Then you don''t have to hesitate to like it.


    "Hmm... do you need help with that investigation?


    Rather, it seemed that She was the one who was surprised by the word.


    If I blink my eyes a few degrees, I tilt my neck as if to say it was unexpected.


    "... okay?


    "Well, She''s in trouble, and somehow I think it''s going to be easier to get information as a result."


    "Well, we don''t have handouts or anything to gather information on. If you can work with She, I think that''s the best way.... There are many things that bother me."


    "There will be ces like chase around. So, what do you think?


    She repeatedly blinked with her neck tilted, but eventually its mouth only slightly loosened.


    And.


    "... of course -"


    "- Of course, you are most wee!


    Moments, so that I could put it on She''s words, my voice sounded.


    But naturally, that''s not Eina''s, if not Soma''s.


    In the first ce, the voice was clearly heard from outside the house.


    It was almost simultaneously that Soma turned her gaze toward the door of the house as she stood up reflexively, and that door opened.


    Katsung and the sound of stepping on the floor.


    The same sound sounded twice or three times...... it was a stranger who showed himself that way.


    The face is somewhat neutral.


    You look like a man, you look like a woman.


    At least the outfit belonged to the man... but if he was affirmed to be of one gender or the other, he seemed to be such a person, who could be convinced that it would be either.


    "... the vige chief?


    And, as she answers She''s whining, the person engraves a deep grin on her mouth.


    And look straight into Soma''s eyes...


    "It''s a pleasure to meet you! My name is Cecil Lepsius! It''s my pleasure!


    Those words were spoken.
