Ein comes to Baltic.That it was the capital of the king.That it was the western part of the continent.Those who call themselves the Iron Nation.

Sylvia was contacted for everything else she knew.

That was a few days after Ein decided to go to Baltic.

"Onee-chan"

Behind Sylvia walking through the Demon King Castle, the castle lord, Arche, called out.

"Where are you going?"

Around the same time, Archer, lying on his neck, approached Sylvia and asked.

Archer rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned softly.

Smiling at the figure, Sylvia pointed from the corridor she had been walking in to the corner of the castle that stretched out the window.

It's so dark out there, but you two can't be wrong about what's ahead.

It's in the library.

"... why?"

"There's something I need to look into."That's right, is Archer coming too? "

"No. When I read the little letters, I feel like I'm a tiny girl."

"Oh... I don't know about that, but..."

That being said, Sylvia knows that Archer is not good at studying.

Perhaps the words I said earlier were a disgrace to myself that I could not even read satisfactorily in a single book.

However, Archer is not insane.

If you teach it properly, I will remember it, and even the rotation of my head is not bad.

I'm not good at studying, and I just hate it.

But what are you going to look into?

"It was a long time ago."

Once upon a time?

"Yes, it's a time when Cain was not yet born, or not yet."

Do you have any records or information from that time?This was a yes.

When Silvia was on a tremendous journey, she left something in the book that was sure to bother her.

In addition, there are other books obtained from other races with whom I had friends.

Every book in the archives of the Demon King's Castle was a national treasure.

"Phew..."

"Come on, Aache, go to sleep now."

"Nh... I'll do it"

Fura, Fura...... Sylvia looked back with a gentle smile at Archer, who was leaving without a trace.

She then moves on to the desired archive.

A giant hall with a far higher ceiling, visible after a long long corridor.

A gigantic door sat at the deepest point, and a footsteps sounded in the hall in front of it.

◇◇◇◇

The next morning, Ein left the castle and went to Mouton's workshop.

Recent circumstances have led me to ask for the sword to be maintained just in case.

No, no, Your Highness.

Mouton, staring at the sword with a light on his body, said:

Meanwhile, Ein sits alongside Chris, who was accompanying him, and watches him.

Yes?

Is it true that you were talking to Baltic before?

Ein asked and nodded.

"Since the schedule is almost set, I think we will leave the capital soon"

"Ho ho ho... nnh, please take me with you"

"Huh? Mr. Mutton?"

"Oh no. There's packages in the workshop over there too."I thought I wanted to bring it to you. "

I don't mind if it's that much.

Ein is on his way to Baltic with an airship, but the addition of one Mutton didn't make a big difference.

There's a chance she might handle important secrets, but to tell you the truth, how many secrets does Mutton already handle?That's what I'm talking about.

"And there it is, you know, interrogating dwarves, right?"I don't think so, but it's possible that you know me, and it's not too easy to help you out with that! "

"... you're right..."

It was Ain who tried to be honest, but it seemed like a good proposal.

"Here. Your Highness's sword is in good health."I mean, if there's a way to make that sword less energetic, I'd like to hear it.You can't do it unless you intentionally try to break it. "

"Thank you, that was very helpful."

"It's okay." Honestly, just think about what you just said. "

After finishing his prescribed errand, Ein took the sword and took his seat.

Emei! Your Highness is back!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Emme appears from the back of the workshop and opens the door.

She walked out first, dropped Ain and Chris off outside the gate, and then said, "Please do it again!"I went back to the workshop.

"What do you think of Chris?"

Ain asked as he stepped forward.

Walking next to her, Chris opens his mouth wondering if he should hold hands or weigh himself as he walks close enough to rub the backs of his hands.

"Hmm... honestly, I don't think it's pearly.As Lord Mutton said, the situation may change depending on the relationship between the dwarves..... "

"I see. I may be able to get more information about this disturbance."

It could be the home of a dwarf in prison, or it could lead to sightings somewhere.

If we could get this information, we could get closer to the main body of the iron country.

(It's been so quiet ever since the last commotion....)

Those who call themselves the Iron Nation have disappeared.

I can't find a trace of where they came from.

I used the latest magic tools to follow the trail of magic power, but I found it disguised along the way.

Definitely, it's a clever attempt to block the investigation.

That's not to say that the state is alarmed, but rather that the hand of investigation extends far and the number of people increases.

The Adventurer's Guild also received a request from yesterday, and they also began their activities vigorously.

After all, it feels like we need to talk to Grandpa and the others

Ein gently took Chris's hand.

I've been rubbing against each other for a while now, and I almost unconsciously entangle my fingers and fingers.

For a moment, Chris's body shook slightly.

Even so, recently I have become more used to it than before, so there is no more surprise or shame.

She rejoiced at being in nature and smiled brightly.

I hope you don't mind, let's have lunch with Mr. Rajid.

"Is that okay?" Ein-sama, I heard you're very busy today. "

"No, I'm busy, but it's hard to fill up with work."I'm actually going to Mutton's place for a little longer, so I think I can afford lunch. "

"... ah! Could it be because of that..."

"Hey, look! You're not going!?"

Ain pierced the star and walked quickly.

Pulled by his hand, Chris runs after him, tangling his arms around his arms so that he can't run away, and asks in a more upbeat voice.

If it's not too much trouble, please do!

In just a few moments, we won't have time to be spoiled.

If you want to wait so long for the next day, don't be shy, and be sweet to Ein's generosity.

I'm sure it's better for each other.

Without hesitation, Chris kissed Ein's cheek.

◇◇◇◇

It was not long after noon that they returned to the castle.

Chris broke up with Ein to go to another job, and Ein went to the castle courtyard without a second thought.

For some reason, there was someone I wanted to talk to.

Hello.

When the voice is heard, instead of lowering your head, you can hear the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other from where the trees occupy a corner of the courtyard.

Good day, Tree of the World

Just by hearing that voice, our leaves are shining blue

The Furun glorify Ein more than the Elves.

This seems to have no choice as a race.

On the contrary, Fuoruns say that the long attitude is too disrespectful.

Is everyone used to living here?

Yes, thanks to the majesty of the trees of the world, the earth, the water and the air are all pleasant.

I don't see the kind words of gratitude I deserve for accepting us.

"Oh... that's good."

Here, Ein coughs and corrects his residence.

"I'd like to ask you a question..."

Ask Fuorun about those who call themselves the Iron Nation.

Nevertheless, to this day the Fuoruns are listening to the castle.That's why I didn't expect any new stories.

I'm sorry, but everything we know......

After all, the words arrived exactly as I imagined.

But,

I hear that old dwarves have a strong sense of unity.Unlike the people who live now, you hate strangers. "

The dwarves who joined the First Majesty are the ones who live now.

'Yes, the rest of the dwarves don't believe in anything but themselves, and they have been stubbornly refusing to interact with the outside world.If those who call themselves the Iron Nation are old dwarves, the more I will nod. "

It's not like Ein didn't even think about it.

I'm just curious why those old dwarves suddenly struck such a murder.

On the other hand, if we only knew this, we would go a long way.

(I wonder if the dwarf kingdom underground has a clear location.)

If we know where it is, we can talk quickly.

Anyway, you can just go down there and dig the ground and see what's going on underground.

If there's a dwarf attacking, that's it.I don't know what the outcome of our discussions with them (,,,,) will be, but we need to find out the truth.

"I'm going to talk to the next Dwarf I've been caught."At that time, I was going to ask my friend's dwarf to follow me, but how about that? "

It's a good idea.

I was wondering if I should definitely do that.

It's the dwarves who broke up with each other, but we might be better informed together.It would be nice to accompany you as you see fit. "

With the help of the Fuoruns, Ein has decided to consult with Sylvard.

If so, we have to move.

It's already 2: 00.

Ein remembers Sylvard's plans when he saw the watch.

I'm sure I'll be out of the castle by evening on official business today.

Although it is a state of emergency, the king is also carrying out his official duties in peacetime at the same time, and from the perspective of the next king, Ain, it is nothing but a subject of respect.

It's evening.

I decided to go home and ask my grandfather to give me some time, and Ein thanked the Hoorns and the rest of us.

And on this day, Mutton was allowed to accompany him.

Shearling, who is still well acquainted with state secrets, was allowed to do so without resorting to unexpected and arrogant procedures.

◇◇◇◇

And it came to pass a week after that, that Ain departed from the king's city.

He was accompanied by Chris, and Marco, and Mutton; and the others remained in the king's city.

Dill took it for granted that Krone remained in the capital for several reasons.

Ein is in charge of most of this work and doesn't have much time to do clerical work.

He also concluded that we should avoid taking Krone, who can't fight, by force.

― ― ― ― The Great Prison.

It is an important facility for imprisoning first-class criminals in Ishtarica.

Located three days from Baltic by horse, it is geographically situated in the territory of the Count of Baltic.

Surrounded by a deep lake, it's like an adventurer's sanctuary in the water, and it's a harsh environment with noteworthy monsters.

It's hard to survive a jailbreak and get to the bottom of it.

Furthermore, magic weapons were installed in the surrounding terrain, making it impossible to escape.

In that case, I went to the great prison...

A towering skyscraper approached the rooftop and an airship approached.

Since the invention of the airship, the official berth has been set up, and the airship carrying Prince Wang Ein has arrived at a leisurely pace.

"Alignment, men."

The person in charge of this great prison lined up a knight and waited for the airship door to open.

The airship stays floating in the air, opens the door and connects to the tarap.

From the door, the Kingsguard, who walked out in an orderly manner, went down to the roof.They lined up on the left and right, and Moses made his way.

There, Marko shows up and leaves the tarap.

Then, as Mutton appeared, Ein walked along with Chris, who was the last to see him.

...... That's amazing.

...... Oh, I've seen it for a long time, but it's such a domination.

Knights of the Great Prison breathe and watch Ein walk.

Ein today, but I was always more domineering.

It's not that Ein is doing something special, it's probably just the clothes.

The climate around here is cold even in summer, and the winds are strong and brisk.

That wind and the wind reaching from the airship made Ein's coat squeak heavily, and it was just a strong figure somewhere.

Of course, that didn't mean Ain had no power or domination.

It is simply that this time he looked more elegant than he thought.

Eventually, the Ain.

"Greet and thank"

Ein stands down and tells the person in charge of the Great Prison to proceed.

Marco walked right next to it.Chris, in his knightly clothes, accompanied her on the left, and sheathed herself behind her.

Their party approached the lift of the magic tool prepared in the back.

The knights on the left and right pulled out their swords at once and saw off the party.

I heard that you have recovered to some extent in the King's City, but how are the Dwarves doing?

Ain asked the person in charge.

"Hah. Fortunately, I've been able to call in a healing magician, so I've been stable for the last few days."However, no matter what we ask, we will not open our mouths. "

Your mouth looks so strong.

"That's right. If I say anything, I just say 'kill' and I can't say I'm communicating."

As I expected, Ein also thought something like this would happen.

(I wonder if the old dwarfs are more likely, as the Fuoruns said.)

If so, you must definitely listen.

Ein's feet were rushed by his thoughts, and he was about to become a fast-footed man without a heart.
