After it was confirmed that I would be Crescencia's bodyguard, we had a series of idle conversations.

Talking may sound good,

 But in reality, it was the kind of "talk" that is characteristic of aristocrats, who smile on the surface while plotting behind the scenes.

I was listening to the conversation because I might need it, but without actively taking part in it.

 It seems that Schneizel is similar to me.

Without interrupting the conversation of the royalty and nobles, I silently repeated my c'omments to them.

 After a while, Schneizel suddenly stood up.

 At that point, I braced myself.

There was no way that someone of Schneizel's caliber would act like this for no reason at all.

 At this point, there is only one reason I can think of for standing up even if it means cutting off a meeting with royalty and the great nobility.

 I can think of only one such reason.

"An raid?"

While everyone was transfixed by Schneizel's strange act, it was His Majesty the King who was the first to ask the question.

Perhaps,There are sounds of battle and a faint smell of blood. Is it quite close ------ security has been pulled out? But it's hard to imagine the magic that Almire set up being broken. No, you idiot. You should always assume the worst. In that case, ------"

What's the current status?"

'I'm afraid I'm going to have to guess."

"I'm going to waste no time, so from here on out, without further ado, I'm going to give you my guess ."

"I understand. I'm going to use a battlefield tone of voice just for the moment because it's urgent.'

'It can't be helped."

"Well, let's get to it. As far as my ears can tell, there are two major battles. One is a clash of magic, probably between Almir and the enemy magician. And the other battlefield is the Great General fighting. The enemy is ------ I'm pretty sure that's that sound, that's , Cassandra or someone of her level " .

"Where's are they ?"

"Nearby "

 In response to this question, Schneizel drew a simple map of the royal castle and indicated the source of the sound.

"I see.. I understand the situation. Are you sure you don't mind if I leave it to you?"

u" I will do my best. Hey there, servant! Bring me my greatsword, which I left with you before I came here'!

 After ordering the butler who was walking around the area to do so, Schneizel informs the audience that an raid has occurred.

 When this happened, panic naturally spread.

 Most of the participants in this party were nobles who had never been in a fight before.

 It would be unreasonable to tell them not to panic.

'Please calm down. We are in the process of working with our subordinates to find a safe evacuation route and strengthen security."

'I hope you are sure its safe!"

'We can't guarantee your safety before we know who we're dealing with. That's why we need your help."

In the meantime of giving orders to his subordinates, Schneizel also deals with the concerns of the nobles.

Meanwhile, I, who had nothing to do next to Schneizel, headed in the direction of Saraswati and the Lucy after getting their permission.

'Norwin!"

"Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. I just didn't know what to do."

Saraswati, as a child, must have been affected by the adults' confusion. , as she shrank back anxiously.

"I think you should be prepared to fight,"

'I know, . But I don't have a sword. Norwin, you know..."

"I'll take care of it."

  I refines a sword with earth magic. This is not a martial arts tournament, so there is no longer a first level limit .

 The sword was made with as much magical power as possible to make it stronger and sharper, and it was more perfect than any ordinary sword.

"I tried to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. It may feel a little strange."

"Thanks. I think this will work."

"Okay. Where's Lucy?"

"Oh, she's... she's right..."

"Seriously?'

Saraswathi pointed in the direction where Lucy was, but to my surprise, she was eating her food in the middle of this emergency scene.

 For some reason, Lieselotte was with her.

Saras, "don't leave Mr. Vasel or anyone else. "

"What about you?"

There are a lot of things I can do, so I'll be ready for the raid"

 I told Saraswati and ran toward Lucy and the others. I grabbed the arm of the genius who was having a nice meal.

"What are you doing?"

"'I'm eating ------."

I know that when I see it, but think about the situation. I heard there was an raid."

'------ so if I don't eat it now, it'll be a waste."

 Oh, no. Oh, no. And in the middle of a venue like this...?

 I'm in the middle, but not in a position to get in the way of the soldiers who are moving around. In addition, you're ready to move instantly when instructions are given.

Ah, in case anyone was wondering, were you doing what you could now?

"There's nothing the I can do, is there? Ther"

"No, thank you. Lucy, you don't have any weapons, do you?"

I can fight without it".

'It's better to have one. Here.'

  I refined the same sword i had just given to Saraswati and handed it to Lucy.

'"If something happens, just use it to survive. This attack is probably a bad one."

"That's I like it."

"You won't die, won't you?"

"----- If I die in Arcadia, it could become an international problem. I will endure it this time."

"Please do so. Lucy, if something happens, move with the adults. If and maybe Mr. Vasel will come to pick the two of you."

"------ got it."

 As soon as I said this, Vasel came toward us, escorting Saraswati. I guess he couldn't leave Lucy and Lieselotte, two very important people, alone.

 Leaving them to him, I returned to stand next to Crecencia.

Perhaps the raid was aimed at Crescencia.

 And if they had crossed the royal castle's security, there was a good chance that a top official would have joined the attack.

If they are coming, which ones?

 If they are going to kidnap Crecencia under these circumstances, who--

 BANG!

 It was then.

The door to the hall was kicked in, and countless white masks stepped in from outside.

The hall was in an uproar. Schneizel and the other military personnel immediately adjusted their stance to intercept them and...

I held up my spear as if to protect Crescencia, using a combination of physical strengthening equivalent to the third level of magic and Haiyan's original spell
