Upon confirming our appearance, the National Army captain looked like a peasant who had tasted the rain of grace after a surprise look.

"Oh, brave man! Did you come?! If you were there, it would be a hundred manpower!

"You don't have to flatter yourself. Rather, we have just arrived. For now, I've come this far, but please explain the situation."

The captain explained that he had the command of the unit, and it was the deputy captain who took over.

According to his story, there are only a few Grieves, but their strength is not so dangerous. The mercenaries who remained in the National Army and the King's Landing can be dealt with alone, and there are no problems in maintaining the front.

After all, the neck is the abundance of evil beasts. Somewhat fewer, but somehow more. The deputy chief himself seemed to realize that it wasn't just because of his intentions.

"However, there have been several reports from some soldiers that they have seen a magical formation shining behind a swarm of Grievers."

The mayuri who heard the story became happier.

"Maybe a massive Summon Magic Team?

"This view is the same. Probably from there, there's a whole bunch of Wicked Beasts coming in."

Theon questions the deputy chief, who becomes a sharp face.

"As I heard, this Grievous Mayhem is probably caused by its magical team. Why don't we destroy it now?"

"You're right. However, even if we destroy the magical formation, it is the area with the highest concentration of evil beasts."

"Well, this is where a lot of bad beasts appear, naturally."

The Lieutenant nodded when Garbert said.

"We are currently in the process of assembling a force to break through the layer of the Wretch. Some will incorporate powerful mercenaries."

"In a group battle, a mercenary would be better suited to break through one point."

"Yes, so, brave man. I'd like you to join the infiltration force if you can."

I thought the request would come from the flow of the story. Not just around the Magic Faction, the Grieves are overflowing here. In that case, the size of the breakthrough force should be minimized. A few cutting-edge individuals like ours would be qualified.

What do you want, Master?

That's what I'm talking about.

"I see. We will join the infiltration force."

"Thank you very much. If the brave join us, we will be able to carry out our mission more reliably."

"Well, I'm ready for troop formation," said the deputy chief. He began to give instructions to soldiers of the Kingdom.

"We will reduce the Neighbourhoods until our troops are ready."

I gave instructions to my friends and nodded back.

I thought that the battle would continue and that it would be preserved to some extent, and I found the face I saw in the battlefield.

Mikage-san!

"─ ─ Hall of bravery?

Silver fox swordsmen are coming at us, cutting off the nearby beasts one after the other. Even if I look at it many times, it's going to fall in love with her beauty with a beautiful sword.

Master?

Whoa, no. Now it's in the middle of a battle. It's not when I'm thinking about strange things. And Mikage-san has someone important. I'm not a good opponent with evil feelings.

─ ─ Thought of the "precious person", my chest groaned, but I immediately shook my head off.

I haven't seen you the other day, Hero.

"Could you be in the unit?

"Yes, even with me, if this trouble is going to end as soon as possible, I hope and so on."

There are some mercenaries behind her. Perhaps they will join the infiltration.

I feel a little relieved just by seeing a face. If that's enough talent to keep my back, then it's too much.

If Mikage-san is here, her "loved one" should be here. At least if I knew him, I wouldn't send Mikage-san into battle alone.

Yet ─ ─

"What happened to Yukina? He doesn't seem to be around."

I wonder if they are fighting elsewhere. Against my expectations, Mikage-san opened his mouth for a while.

"Yukina is not here. I'm in King's Landing."

"─ ─ ─ What?

I felt the tingling in the back of my chest that should have been canceled earlier.

"In the first place, Yukina-sama is still in the fourth grade. Unlike a second class like me, there is no request from the union to join, and there is no reason for him to participate in this fight."

"But even though Mikage-san is fighting like this, Yukina is just waiting in a safe place....."

We've lost it, Yukina. You are a man with a sense of justice even if you lack common sense. [M] That's why I thought of him as a 'friend'.

After all, it was about that kind of man. In the first place, I'm even mistaken that such a person is a friend of the master. "

Rayva's words, which I would normally correct, seem to be quite acceptable to me now. [M] Until then, I was very disappointed in Yukina.

"Are you mistaken, Hero?

When I came back, Mikage-san had a cold expression.

"Yukina did not remain in the King's City because of the cowardly wind. Because he himself decided it was necessary."

"Necessary... what do you mean?"

"I don't know that either. But if that's what he thinks, I'll do it."

I was somehow angry with the trust that seemed blind. [M]

How can I believe Yukina so strongly?

That's why I think it leaks out of my mouth.

"... in case something really happens, I'd rather stay with Mikage-san ─ ─"

When I said that, Mikage-san shook his head. [M]

"I wonder if Yukina would have stayed in King's Landing just in case it wasn't there."

"When there wasn't?

"Yukina-sama sees the possibility that her actions will end up in prison ─ ─ No, there are some passages that she thinks are better. That's who he is. That's why they sent me here. In order not to waste my" power "."

At last, I don't know why. [M]

I understand what Mikage-san is saying. I also know that Yukina remains in King's Landing just in case.

However, if Mikage-san's words are correct, Yukina thinks it's best if they don't come.

In other words, if nothing really happens, Yukina's actions will be in vain. It is not appreciated by anyone, but rather points to the back finger.

How can he make that choice?

Unexpectedly, I tried to ask Mikage-san a question that boiled inside me. I didn't know if the answer would come back, but I had to ask.

But the opportunity never came.

Suddenly, Mikage-san opened his eyes as if he had noticed something. As the silver fox's ears twitched from her head, she turned her face in a certain direction.

You are in the direction of King's Landing.

It was hard to understand from a distance, but something like wolf smoke seemed to be rising.

"Apparently, one in ten thousand has been hit."

Mikage-san takes a step in a tight atmosphere. Towards the king's city where the light rose.

"I will return to King's Landing as soon as I can. Tell the Captain of the Royal Army that I can't join the incoming troops."

"Oh no... if you get out"

"If it were a hole like mine, it would be easy to fill if you had a brave lord. Besides, I have a first-class mercenary who is more capable than I am, so I have change."

Mikage-san made Garbelt look sharp.

"Do you know the silver flash? If you leave the front here now, you'll break mercenary rules."

Garbert's right. Mikage is here at the mercenary union's request. I have a duty to fight on this battlefield. She will be punished as a mercenary if she turns her back.

"Incidentally, the reputation of the brave man running away from the battle follows. Still going?

"Well, here's what I'll say."

─ ─ What is that?

Gerbert and the others rounded their eyes to the line just returned naturally.

"Originally, I became a mercenary to earn roadblocks and polish my arms. There are a few things that have not yet been worked out, but they are not enough. You may be demoted, you may be expelled, but you can do whatever you want."

"Well, here I am," she turned away from us. [M] I'm just saying I'm not interested anymore.

"... yeah, but if I get demoted, can I work with that guy without hesitation? It may be careless, but it may not be bad."

Leaving such a crush at the end, she ran away to King's Landing. I wasn't lost in my footsteps at all.

What do you want me to do, Mr. Rex?

I was stunned to see Mikage-san behind me, and Mayuri shouted at me. I noticed that Mikage-san was already buried in the shadow of an evil beast or person and could not be seen.

"... we'll join the infiltration force as planned. I have to tell the captain about Mikage-san."

"I understand."

Mayuri nodded after glancing at the direction Mikage-san ran with dissatisfaction.

There's nothing I can do about what's gone. I have to do the work that is required of me. [M]

It is my role to perform my duties as a brave man. [M]

─ ─ It was a while later that I received reports of the appearance of the Urban Beast in the royal castle.
