Tenshi-sama uttered something too outlandish .

(A reversal that turns everything upside down is ...... me?

　And I don't know how to react to being called a 'singularity'.

I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by that. ......?

　When I asked this perfectly legitimate question.

I didn't think it was possible, but ....... I didn't think it was possible, but I guess you weren't aware of .......

　She widened her eyes in dismay for a moment, and then slowly began to explain.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

"People? ......?

Yes. The next king of Vestellia, Ria Vestellia, also known as the Kuro and Shiro Princess. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. Rize-Dorahine, the Blood Fox, the head of the Fox Finance. Crown-Jester, the eccentric who kicked the seat of the Seven Holy Swords. Rain-Grad, the Thirteenth Knight of the Oracle. The world's most famous swordsmen are attracted to your personality and potential, and are gathering one after another to the Allen faction.

"Oh, the Allen faction is .......

　I couldn't help but chuckle at the exaggerated expression.

This is not a joke, you know.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. At only fifteen years of age, he is a swordsman of national prowess, a man who has slain three of the thirteen knights of the Oracle. In addition to that, he has a mysterious power that attracts people. Now, depending on the "position" of the Allen faction, the power structure of the Imperial Kingdom will be drastically changed. That's how big you have become.

You can't be that dramatic. ......

　No matter how much you say, that is indeed an exaggeration.
　It's not like you can't make a difference in the power structure of the empire.

"I'm not exaggerating. In fact, the reason why Roddis and I came here today is to show our 'sincerity' to Allen-sama.

"Sincerity ......?

To put it succinctly, it is a statement that we do not wish to antagonize you.

　I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm sure that yesterday's incident has made Allen-sama distrustful of me and the empire.

"...... Yes, that's right.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure that the ...... aristocracy will take advantage of this opportunity to try and contact you, Allen. And if you happen to be on their side,....... And if you do join the other side, there's nothing we can do about it. ......

　She stepped forward with a dark expression on her face and squeezed my right hand with her small hand.

I'm not asking you to join the royalists. You probably won't be able to believe everything I've just told you as the truth. ....... --But, please. Please do not be misled by the sweet words of the aristocracy, and at least keep your position of neutrality!

　She said that and looked straight into my eyes.
　She looked me straight in the eye. Her eyes were so clear, it was hard to believe she was lying.

...... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around all the information that's coming in at once.

　I'm sure you're aware of the fact that I'm a member of the royal family, the aristocracy, the Allen faction, the .......
　It's a bit absurd to expect me to make the right decision after being told such a thing out of the blue.
　And first of all, there is no proof that everything Tenshi-sama said is true.

(In fact, she tried to stab me once during the Keishin-kai: ......)

　(In fact, she tried to stab me once during the Keishin-kai. ) Unfortunately, I honestly feel that I cannot trust Tenshi-sama.

Yeah, I see. ......

　She must have sensed the negative nuance in my words.
　She muttered weakly, shaking her hands a little.

I can't make a decision right now, but ....... There's one thing I can tell you for sure.

"What is ......?

There are a lot of people in this country that I care about. So, regardless of whether you are a member of the royal family or a member of the aristocracy, I want to protect everyone within the reach of my sword.

　My mother and Grandpa Take, who I left behind in Goza Village.
　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
　I'd like to thank you all for your support.
　Shidou, whose relationship with me has improved a bit lately, and Cain, who is an ardent believer.
　There's also Idra, Lizzy, and Crown.

　There are a lot of people I care about in this country.

(To be honest, I don't know much about difficult things like national politics and factions. ......)

　That's why I'm going to protect my precious friends as far as my sword can reach.
　I'm sure that's what this sword art that I've acquired through a billion years of training is for.

I'm sure that's what this sword art that I've acquired through a billion years of training is for." "...... Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that.

　Tenshi-sama smiled reassuringly and said

"--Chancellor Leia. I would like to thank you for making time for me in spite of my sudden visit. Thanks to you, the misunderstanding that arose between you and Allen-sama was successfully resolved and we were able to have a very fruitful discussion. Now, I have some business to attend to, so if you'll excuse me for now.

　He bowed gracefully and turned on his heel.

　As she walked past us and put her hand on the black door of the chancellor's office, she stopped dead in her tracks.

"...... Hey, Mr. Allen.

"Yes, what can I do for you?



"Would you like to have (・・・・) a proper (・・・・) tea with me sometime?

"...... Yes, I'd be happy to. Just don't be as rough as you were before, okay?

"Mmm, of course.

　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.
