"…I see. Indeed, there are many in the squadron, not just soldiers, but adventurers and mercenaries. I can't stop them wanting to go with Ray on their own initiative, and there's no problem if they leave the nobility where the soldiers serve, as long as they're well-organized. -- I'm sorry to say that."

　Theoreum answers Ray's question.
　Now the whole army is in the headquarters of Mercurio's army... not only Mercurio's army but also the punitive force, and they have been very busy working under the orders of themselves.
　In the meantime, Ray tells them that the shortstop wants to go with him to Gillum... to the kingdom of Mileana, but the words that Teoreme says are surprisingly permissive, and Ray turns a startled glance.

"What a surprise! I can't believe you've given me such a simple permission."
"If you force someone who is intoxicated with a particular individual, there is a high possibility that there will be unnecessary disturbances will occur. Besides, it is Prince Mercurio who will ultimately make the decision. All I can do is talk to you. ... oh, divert supplies to your troops from the headquarters. Yes, especially food. And the White Rose Knights... Oh, I see. That's all right. What about Prince Schles' cavalry? Do that."

　Theorem responds to Rey's words, but quickly gives directions to the people around him.
　Looking at the situation, Ray thinks he can't imitate it.

"And I'm not saying anything out of kindness alone. If anyone in the kingdom of Milliana knew the best of the Empire, it might be avoided that if something goes wrong, it will soon become a rough measure."
"Well, that's for sure," --but if you take on the shoulders of the Empire of Bestia too much, you might get out of touch with guillem, so you have to keep it in moderation."
"I know. You'll be very careful about that in advance. But, if I were to go to the Kingdom of Mileana, wouldn't it be possible for me to prepare a lot of things, or a lot of people, to go with Ray, but not all of them are single? Oh, for that matter, talk to Prince Schles' deputy."

　Ray nods back to Theoreum's words, sighing.
　Naturally, some of the squadrons are married and some have family.
　Many others have lovers even if they are not married yet.
　Not all of them head to Gillum with Ray, but some of them will certainly come with him.
　In other words, a bodyguard up to Gillum will be needed.
　Originally, Ray was going to ride the Seto back to the Kingdom of Milliana at once, but if there were anyone in the squad who would come with him, he would not be able to abandon them.

(It's going to take quite a while to get back to Gilm.) but it's not all bad when I think of Rodos.)

　Rodos is still awake and in a coma.
　The question of how to take Rodos to Gillum was a bit of a puzzle for Ray.
　One of the characteristics of Seto is that there is considerable restriction on putting anything on his back other than Ray.
　One lightweight adult woman or two children is OK, but beyond that it's hard to fly properly.
　Instead, it can be lifted by weight that cannot be carried by a normal Gryphon if it is gripped by a kuchibashi or by a forefoot.
　This is probably a problem peculiar to Seto, since a normal Gryphon can fly with two or three adults on its back.
　At any rate, Ray was considering returning with his worst set paws hanging a cloth or something wrapped Rodos.
　However, it is certain that such behavior is not good for your health.
　Especially now, it's almost time for the first snow to fall.
　In the midst of this, it's not bad for your health to move over the air, which is much colder than above ground.
　By comparison, it was a great blessing to have Ray and Gillum ride in the cabs of those who wanted to accompany them.

(The biggest miscalculation is... Gamerion, after all.)

　When I spoke to adventurers who belonged to the squadron, I was able to get information about the appearance of Gamerion on the frontier of the Westian Empire.
　However, even those who put their appetite first and want to leave Rodos as he is, and who want to head to Gillum with Ray, will not be able to afford it.
　If you miss it now, it will snow, and you will have to wait until spring to leave for the kingdom of Miliana.
　If you're alone with Ray, you don't have to worry about the cold weather because of the Dragon Robes, and Seto doesn't have to worry about the level of snow because of the rank A monster's Gryphon.
　I can't put off my departure until spring because of my appetite...

"I have no choice but to give up,"
"Huh? What?"

　When Ray says something out of his mouth, Teoreme, who had given instructions to his subordinates, looks at him.

"No, if it were true, I wanted to hunt Gamerion to secure meat after this civil war. It's almost the season, isn't it?"
"...I don't think it's the best season for that monster."

　mutter theoreum with a wry smile
　In fact, Gamerion is a Rank C monster, which means it's only as strong as a Rank C party.
　If those who are supposed to be adventurers of that neighborhood attack in groups, they will only be trampled down.
　In that sense, what Theoreum is saying is not wrong.

(However, Ray and Rank A monsters, who are notorious...or, even though they are rare species, if there is a set of monsters that are recognized to be Rank S monsters, then Rank C monsters will be the only one who cares.)

　Thought so much, Teoreme suddenly remembers that he had been too busy to advise Ray.

"As for Ray and Sett, I have been told that they are rare species of glyphon."
"I suppose,"

　Even though he was cornered by noise, he used his set skills so brilliantly.
　Ray doesn't take it for granted that he can hide it.
　That's why they used Seto's skills even in the war, even when it was so ostentatious.

"But is there anyone who acts strangely, even though you showed me and Seto's power?"

　The punitive force was literally to appreciate the power of Seto and Ray.
　Even Mercurio's army was originally recognized as Mercurio's greatest force, and no one with a normal nerve would interfere with Ray or Sett.
　Teorem shakes his head to Ray, who tells him so.

"It is true that the nobles who were on the battlefield would not behave so foolishly. However, some aristocrats in the Vestian Empire were unable to participate in the civil war, some were not allowed to participate. They will naturally hear Ray and Sett's abilities from those who participate in the civil war, but they cannot really understand it just by listening."
"...that's the possibility that they'll come in?"
"It's a pity," Of course, anyone with the slightest knowledge of information wouldn't do that. But some people have a special ear for believing information that is convenient for them, but not for information that is not convenient for them."

　Theoreum's words put Ray in the mind of the aristocratic nobility... and it was only natural, in a way, that the typical aristocrats, who were not as close friends as Elena, had passed.

"You think they might touch me.
"Oh, I think... I'm sure he'll touch me. All I have to say is that we don't want them to be considered the consensus of the Westian Empire. I, Prince Mercurio and Prince Fritzione are grateful to Ray, but they have no intention of antagonizing him."

　The sound of the words made Ray understand the truth.
　In fact, the civil war has just ended in the present-day Westian Empire and its national strength has declined.
　Against Ray, who has such a high mobility as Seto, it was absolutely a thing for Theoreum to refrain from.
　If Ray is willing to do so, he will be attacked unilaterally if not a city designed for magical protection.
　A tornado of fire, also known as Ray's, will move freely and burn up small towns and villages.
　Also, even the first team can easily win by using the skill of Emperor Flame's Red Armour, which he learned in this battle.
　If we were to stop Ray, we would have to pull a noise-like person, and even if we did, we would not be able to easily oppose each other.

(And if it were against Ray, Viehla would definitely be there.)

　Of course, Vihela will have a conflict because her relatives and her beloved man are hostile.
　But it was clear who was to blame if the enemy provoked an attack on Ray from the Westian Empire, and Vihela would certainly help him.
　It was undoubtedly Ray's power that the civil war could be ended in the form of a victory for the Mercurio army later this year.Without Ray's power, I don't mean to have lost, but if the Teorames had fought alone against the punitive force, the civil war would certainly have continued throughout the year.
　No, if you're not good at it, it could have lasted for several years.
　If the war had lasted that long, it is highly likely that the Imperial army could not prevent any movement, even if it existed as a deterrent against neighboring countries.
　At the same time, it would have been certain that the King's faction, one of the three major factions and the largest, would move, even in the long-time rivalry of the Empire of Mileana, the Neutralists and the Lords, with whom Theorems are at odds.
　From Elena to the King's faction, the story of the remnants of a subordinate country or conquered country coming into contact with the King's faction has been passed down through Rey to Theorem.

"In other words, what do I do with the other person who has put my hand to me, the best part of the Empire?"
"Well, of course we'll have to move too far."
"...for example?"

　Theoreum immediately answers Ray's questions as he writes something on paper.

"Well, like... killing every member of the nobility who attacked Ray."
"...what the hell do you think I am?"
"It was crimson, wasn't it? It was a tornado of flames and the red armor of the Flame Emperor, so it trampled down the punitive force."

　As it is true, Ray is at a loss for words.
　It's like spring war, it's like this civil war.
　You can't argue with me because you understand how many lives I'm taking.
　However, if this had remained the spirit of an ordinary Japanese person, he might have suffered like he would have lost his life, but Zepyle has made it possible to adapt to this world.
　That's why it was only a little painful to kill an opponent.

(Huh? In that sense, what about kabazide? He's definitely from Japan, so it's not surprising that he's reluctant to take his life.) Unless you're doing something about it like me. ...or, by any chance, how did that turn out while he was growing up as a member of the Imperial family?

　Ray thinks while leaning his head, but he can't ask Theoreum about the situation, so he turns the subject away.

"And for the time being, can we assume that this is the end of the civil war?"
"Huh? Oh, yes. It's true that the civil war ended so quickly thanks to Ray."
"Then you can expect the reward, too?"
"Well, look forward to it," I'm going to give you a reward for Ray's success. ...but I'm thinking of magic items that would be quite useful for Ray. But as for rewards, it's only after the end of the triumphal parade, is that OK?"

　Ray would think a little before nodding.
