Salut, who remained seized by Ursi, was staring at Fran with hateful eyes.

”The Divine Sword - is only in our country -!”

After all, is the purpose a divine sword? Rumor has it that that's the only superweapon that could upset the balance between states. Countries like Reids, they're coming for us.

But we couldn't get any more details. Thanks, the words just now seem to have gotten aggressive, but since then, I've kept my mouth shut. Even if they catch you, it's the spies who don't crack your mouth. I can't help it.

No, I might have been able to make him talk eventually if it was torture, but a little before some kids.

Besides, that would be the work of the celides. It would suck if you asked poorly about Salut's purpose and got caught up in the country's troubles with each other. No, I already stuck one foot in it, so I want to give it a break any more.

”The salute... why”

”I can't believe you've been fooling us all this time”

The twins got stuck in shock. From what I hear, they've been escorting twins for five years.

Something tells me he was banished from the Reids kingdom about eight years ago, and he appeared pretentious to Phileas. The queen's rescue from being attacked by thieves led to her acceptance. After that, he said, he worked seriously and gained credibility, and was eventually even left to the royal escort.

Aren't they too frigid? He says he protected the queen attacked by thieves on her own, even though she was hurt, but the smell of a match pump pumps.

Isn't it too sweet to be a guard even though you're royal? I don't know how many lives I saved, but I'm going to use a man who was a knight in the Reids kingdom as a royal escort.

Just for once, I know. It's a demonic prop that Salut was equipped with.

Name: Bond Ring

Effect: Makes it easier to develop bonds with people. As long as they have been dealing with each other, it is highly effective.

Honestly, I didn't care that much. Well, I thought it was easy to get along with people or something like that... Looks like the effect of this ring was more powerful than I thought. When I explored magic again using celestial eye, magic sensing, and wizard skills, I found myself enclosing quite a bit of power.

Perhaps even going with brainwashing would be effective enough to considerably soothe alertness and the like.

”This?”

”What are you doing! Stop. - Gu!

”Ooh!”

Sounds like something important. Salut is ravaged if it is not taken away, but it was crushed again by Ursi.

Something seems to have gotten interesting about gnawing Salut with meatballs, and Ursi is gnawing Salut if he changes his legs to hold him down from time to time. Seems like every time I push it, I enjoy groaning like ”wha” or ”wha”.

”What is it, Lord Fran?”

”Mmm. This ring is suspicious.”

I forced him to pull the ring out of Salut's finger and give it to Celid. Looks like I was right about this rush.

After this, I asked the soldiers a few questions for now to see if Salut's people were mixed up yet, and if there was one, it would be a cockroach to have 100. A spy is something like that. As a result, he succeeded in blurring out two more traitors.

That's all we can do. Finally got a paragraph. I'll go back to where I was and get on Fran's back.

And then we go to Barbora - before we take over the pirate treasure. Conveniently, the pirates' azitos seem to be hidden here and in a group of isolated islands on Barbora's path.

Seems pretty siggy, and I'm looking forward to it. I've worked so hard, and I need to get this reward!

Captain Rengil threw a question at the pirates as they were letting them guide them to Azito.

”But you got a job like attacking a ship, killing a royal family, and all the pirates.”

What's this all about? Rather, I think it's a pretty pirate-like job.

”What do you mean?

I hear Fran had the same doubts as me. I'm asking Captain Rengil.

”When I say pirate, I'm certainly a rough guy. Strike the ship, resist and you will take your life. But it will not harm those who surrender.”

”Really?

”Yeah. Attacking a ship is a very risky job. It's often resisted by escort adventurers and mercenaries, and it's uncertain what's loaded on the ship they attacked.”

Right. Depending on the case, it would also be possible to spend more than income.

”So they take hostages and demand ransom. Because that is more certain to earn money. Instead, we guarantee the safety of the hostages. It's strange to say credit to pirates, because it's important to pay the ransom.”

”I see.”

”So you can't be a pirate, such as killing a royal family. If that brightens up, we can lose credibility and turn over crusaders from the country. Just to be clear, we're going to have to put pirates out of business.”

”So, what Celid said, it's better to surrender, is that correct?

”Yeah. If you're a regular pirate opponent, I think surrendering was the best decision you could make”

Was it? I'm sorry, Ceride. I thought it was suspicious.

”... I really needed the money! It must be proof anyway - and I thought it would work!

As a matter of fact, the request itself has been under medical scrutiny for a week. Well, I took it to Salute, and I guess it was one of several available means of killing.

With Salute's guide, it should have been more likely to work. If we hadn't been here, we might have succeeded. I dug a grave for hiring Fran.

Well, hiring Fran as an escort is what the twins said. You wanted to be with Fran more when we got along.

Hiring Fran, an element of uncertainty, should have been a beating for Salut as well. But because you didn't put on a frigate, you can be sure that your defense against the Warcraft is weak. If the ship sinks, we're in danger. I guess I decided to hire it as a safeguard for that...... I guess I didn't think it was strong enough to sink the pirate fleet light.

”Did you need money? Why?”

”... have you seen our ship?

”Mmm.”

Looks like you've been fighting already. Some of them were ships with holes in the deck.

”I really needed the money to fix that.”

”How could you have been so lame?

”That was seven days ago.”

Oh, come on, I told you something.

”We left Ajito for prey, as usual.”

Keep talking with some distant eyes. I don't care if it's in my heart. So it's delivered in digest.

They set out in search of someone to attack, and somehow they encountered a giant warcraft. And in no time, four ships were sunk and two were devastated. The rest of the ship was also quite small and damaged.

”Warcraft?
