Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

The Somas arrived on the spot about a month after they left the king's capital of Veritas.

It's not like there's anything visible.

It is only the desolate ground that stretches out in front of you, but it is definitely a familiar place.

It was the border between Veritas and the Empire.

"I don't know what to say... finally, it feels like"

"... it took longer than I thought"

With that said, Eina and Sheila are also looking at the place, but it's mainly fatigue and relief that's floating in their faces.

The reason for this is exactly what they said, which leads to why it took a month to get here.

If I gave the reason in the end, it was because they wasted their time in the cities and villages they stopped by.

I just have to get out of Veritas, but if there's confusion and commotion ahead of me and I've encountered those occasions, I can't leave them alone.

Sometimes I take the initiative when I lend a hand, but even if I solve one, there is something else in the next place.

In a way, if we had the beginning, we could not pretend not to look at it, but finally arrived here with more fatigue in our hearts than in our flesh.

I'm not regretting it, and I have some sense of accomplishment if I think I've done it, but that's it, this is this.

It will be impossible to think that you can finally rest with the fatigue that has accumulated so far.

In fact, I can't deny that Soma has those feelings either.

Besides, Soma and the others stopped by only part of Veritas.

It seems harder than I would have imagined given the forthcoming Veritas... well, all the Somas could do was pray for a good fight.

If you ask for help, you will respond, but for now, you should return to the Imperial Capital.

There are so many things we need to talk about.

"Now, are we going to the Imperial Capital for now? Or do you two want to go somewhere first?

"You... I know, but don't bother asking."

"...... I just want to get some rest.... I don't know if I can slow down."

"I think it's all right. More than that, is Sheila really glad she came this way?

Sheila was in Veritas, if I say so, to investigate.

Even so, he came this far without reporting much of the results.

Naturally concerned, Sheila shook her head to the side.

"... no problem because it's on schedule. … I don't need to contact you."

"Ma, what happened in Veritas will soon be passed on to Radius or something, and then you'll soon know that Soma is involved."

"Hmm? Really? I don't think we're going to give them names, and I think we can detect the existence of collaborators, but you don't think that's us?

"Who but you can defeat the second prince who was supposed to control the civil unrest, the third prince who was supposed to have no backing at all, the first princess?"

"... I don't care if I can stay else"

I don't think so, but it doesn't make sense where we were talking about it here.

We're still a long way from the Imperial capital anyway.

I take a step forward, hoping that we'll have time to talk about it.

That's how Soma crossed the border and returned to the Empire - exactly at that moment.

The three Somas turned their faces in the same direction.

"- Mm?"

"Huh...!?

"... eh"

What I felt from up ahead was a power that I didn't really know what it was, but it was clearly powerful.

Besides, I remember that somehow.

If it's not my fault, it's something similar to what I felt from Veritas.

"Hmm... I've felt a similar power several times in my life, but what did you two think?

"... well, I only once... but I thought it was similar to what I felt from Veritas"

"I'm not really good at that, honestly... but honestly, I think there's only so much power left to use."

In other words, they both seemed to have no objections.

to the fact that the perceived array is likely to be the power of the devil.

To be honest, it doesn't feel like it's happening again, but not if I'm talking about it.

Besides, if the devil is trying to do something again, you can't just leave him alone, because... there were more concerns than that.

"By the way, it's where I felt the power..."

"... ma, I guess. I'm not good at it. Even me, it's easy to tell. Not that there's any other possibility..."

"... Mmm, maybe the Holy Capital"

"So, there is."

Yes, the direction in which we felt what seemed to be the power of the devil was the direction in which the Holy City was located.

Not that the Sacred Capital is the only one in that direction, so as Aina said, there's no other possibility... well, there's almost no mistake.

"Hmm... reschedule, is that okay?

"There's no way you disagree.... I'm so sorry to see such a sight again"

"... Mm, I agree.... I've never been to the Sacred Capital, but it's the same where"

There must be a resurgence in the back of their brains of the chaos and commotion that has been raging in the cities and villages that have stopped by during the past month.

Or, before that, the sight I've seen on my way to the king's capital of Veritas.

Soma agrees that we must not cause those again.

It's just... To be honest, Soma wasn't too worried about that.

Because I have feelings similar to certainty that that won't happen.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean I'm not worried about anything, of course.

"Hmmm... what the hell did you do? If this is the way it was supposed to be, there's no problem... but if something unexpected happened, it might not be right."

"... soma?

"No, I was just thinking properly. but now is the time to move before thinking."

"... Hurry"

"Hmm, though... Eina, do you know the exact directions to the Holy Capital, etc?

"I came with you, didn't I? You don't get it."

"So, there is..."

Yes, the Somas did not come to the Imperial Capital by formal procedure.

They were forcibly brought in, which means they don't know the exact directions to get there, even if they know where the Holy Capital is.

Betting on his desire, he turned his gaze to Sheila, but he shook his head beside him silently.

Apparently, we're going to have to explore it in the tunnel.

"If you're bad, it might be quicker to go back to the Imperial Capital and ask for directions."

"But it'll take a few days from here to the Imperial City, won't it? Why don't you find something along the way and ask?

"... a little suspicious that it's a village? … if possible, a city of some size would be desirable"

"Hmm... you should have at least heard about the location of the bigger city"

No regrets preceded, is.

But it doesn't matter what I said.

"Hmm... well, are we going to the Holy Capital? It could be a forcible army if you have to..."

"I'll try harder. I just hope you don't expect much from me when I get there."

"... n, try as hard as you can"

Though there is some means to go to Soma alone if you have to, neither of us seemed to intend to do so.

And it would be impeccable to make that suggestion here.

Because there's no way we haven't noticed that.

"Well, let's just say we both work hard."

"Yeah, I hope so, don't I?

"... It's about Soma, so it's going to happen anyway"

"Yeah, that's true, too."

With such a light-hearted slap, the Somas turn to a certain direction of the Holy Capital.

And when he regained his mind, he walked out early.
