048 Opportunity

The four of us who visited the border city of Loire, the command building of Farica, met with Leopard (Leopard) head beast - Lenz, who serves as Farica's commander.

Celestia wanted to meet a man named Weiss, who was Lentz's superior officer, but the leopard man (Lentz) seemed to be somewhat wary of the wish.

The look on the face of the leopard man (Lentz) has changed, showing a sharp glance different from before.

The leopard man (Lentz) walks out of the couch to his desk with his back to Celestia.

At that time the door of the room was knocked and the fox (fox) -faced beast man, who had guided the room earlier, brought a drink.

You're going to take a breath in a strangely timely fashion, and everyone is silently waiting for the fox (fox) -faced beast man to walk away.

As the fox (fox) faced beast man graciously walked out of the room, the leopard man (Lentz) began to speak standing, as he had cut it off.

"Saint Knight (Daim) Celestia.

- No, you said you weren't a knight now, Celestia which.

Weiss, I understand your desire to see me, but can you tell me why this sudden visit took place?

Celestia wonders if she can answer the question and looks at my face.

- Apparently, from here on out, I'd better talk.

"Lenz, which - so, you were glad, weren't you?

Previously, we heard that Weiss which attended the Founding Festival of the Kingdom (Harland).

Did you know that?

With me starting to talk, Lenz becomes a stronger, more alert gaze.

"- Regardless, I have entered the neighbouring country (Harland) through this city (Farica), so I know"

"At that time, Ceres here - did you know that Celestia took some“ advice ”from Weiss?

The leopard man (Lentz) heard it and seemed to think of a few answers.

After the birth of a beat (full), the leopard man (Lentz) answers with a slightly smaller voice, shaking his head.

- No, I don't know.

I took the answer and told him the purpose of the visit as I looked at the leopard man's face.

"We have followed the advice before.

This time, I came here to tell Weiss how it turned out. "

Of course, the real purpose is different, but telling him this would make it easier for the leopard man (Lentz) to catch up.

Hearing what I said, the leopard man (Lentz) was silent again.

Various thoughts are flying in, walking around the room with his right hand on his jaw (chin).

The four of us did not speak up and waited for the idea of a leopard man (Lentz) to get wrapped up.

"- Okay.

Celestia, if that's what you want, I'll make arrangements so that the interview leaves.

It's difficult today, so please come back to the government building tomorrow afternoon.

If the visit is a leaf, you will probably leave here (Farica) and travel, so you will. "

Hearing that answer, Celestia's expression brightened up.

"Lenz, which one, thank you"

"No, all I can do is get to the point where you see me.

From there on, I am powerless. "

So the leopard man (Lentz) smiles.

I thought you were going to set me up for more rushes, but it seemed to me that you had fulfilled your wishes lightly.

That's probably all Celestia cared about with Roar.

Apart from Celestia's purpose, I threw another question at the Leopard Man (Lentz) in order to get closer to my purpose.

"Lenz, if you know what, I'd like you to tell me -"

"If it's what I know, what is it?"

The relative ease with which I try to hear it remains unchanged from earlier.

I emphasised the words and asked the question, watching (cum) not to miss the change in the look of the leopard man (Lentz).

"- Do you know a man named" Clovis ”?

The leopard man (Lentz) hears it and leans (hides) his neck without changing his expression.

"Clovis?

Well, I don't know...

For once, there may be people with that name in this city (Farica) if you look for them, but at least they are not within my knowledge, so it may be difficult to find them in this city (Farica).

Weiss, you may know something. "

"Is that so? I see. Thank you very much."

I hear a reply from a leopard man (Lentz) and pull back easily.

For now, as Leopard Man (Lentz) put it, I'm going to have to try and hit Weiss with the same question.

When the four of us thank the leopard man (Lentz), we get up on the spot.

The leopard man (Lentz) checked with us again about tomorrow.

Maybe he's more discreet in character than I thought.

"See you tomorrow afternoon.

- Yeah, well, don't worry, we'll have the horses you need to travel here. "

We smiled and thanked each other brightly, but Celestia was the only one with a strong expression and a wrinkle between her eyebrows.

"Lenz, I'm afraid you're going to have to take care of me."

"How was it?

The leopard man (Lentz) wonders about the change of expression on the boulder and wonders about it.

"Um - I'd like to ask for a" carriage, "not a horseback ride, if possible."

"- Ha, ha.

It's a carriage, okay. So let's do it. "

Sylvia, who remembers the “meaning” of that request, unwittingly blows out and laughs, recalling the scene when she moves to Avis.

Celestia had a red face in her eyes.

The next day, after lunch, we headed toward the command building as promised to the leopard man (Lentz).

As far as I'm concerned, I could have ridden with Celestia, but a large carriage is already standing by in front of the command building.

Seeing that, apparently, I can get a visit with Weiss.

When the dog head beast led me into the government building, the leopard man (Lentz) checked his schedule and waited for us.

"I've been waiting for you.

Mr. Weiss has been granted a meeting, so let's move on. "

That being said, Celestia tells the leopard man (Lentz), a little surprised.

"Hit me, Lenz. Are they going to accompany all of you?

"Yes, I've been instructed to accompany you...

Together, I will serve Salita, the capital of this country. "

That's what the leopard man (Lentz) said, smiling at us.

The four of us and the Leopard Man (Lenz) left the border city (Farica) and were rocked by the carriage as soon as noon, but there were two breaks and one horse exchange along the way, and it was already time for the capital Salita to set the sun.

Upon entering the capital (Salita), the carriage leads straight to the barracks (Hesha) and does not drop me off throughout the city.

Ask the leopard man (Lentz) that we don't have permission to enter the city and we can only act inside the barracks.

Sylvia, who heard that, had a dismaying look to look at, but she would have no choice but to do all this.

We were given a simple room in the barracks and instructed to wait there.

It seems that there are not many rooms available in the barracks, and Leopard Man (Lentz) apologized that today's accommodation will be co-ed.

But at least there are four proper beds in the given room, each of which can sleep separately. As for the environment given to the adventurer flair, it can be said that it is sufficient.

Standing by in the room given for a while, dinner was brought into the room and a leopard man (Lentz) who came in with the servant told him that Weiss was coming to this room after the meal.

"Neither meals nor visits are ever served out of the room.

- Subtly, you could call it house arrest. "

After the leopard man (Lentz) and the servant left the room, I said potpourri as I picked up my meal.

"Is it possible that Weiss can't go back to where he was (Harland) if he's upset?

Half anxious, half joking Sylvia says.

But Celestia sipped (soaked) the soup in a calm way at first.

"I'm not in a hostile relationship, so it's not like my life would be in danger.

I just want you to be rude so you don't piss them off - especially, Kay. "

"- It's me!

Celestia must have some strange preconceptions about me.

After eating and cleaning up for a while, a leopard man (Lentz) entered the room.

"I'll be here shortly.

However, I haven't been able to take much time to see you, so please be careful. "

After the leopard man (Lentz) says so, not so much time goes by, the door to the room is knocked.

Everyone rises to the sound and turns their attention to the door so that they can breathe.

I felt like the sound of opening the door called Gachari sounded more than I thought.

And - I was amazed at the way the door opened and I saw it.

The person who came in had a pretty big, reptile-like head I'd never seen before and stood on two legs. You can see that there is a thick tail on the back, and the tail is covered in scales.

Definitely, a kind of beast man I didn't see one in the whole city.

Weiss was a dragon man.

Celestia advances in and out, welcoming a dragon man (Weiss) entering the room.

"Long time no see, Weiss which.

Thank you for responding to our sudden visit. "

Saying so and lowering her head, telling her to raise her head with a hand move, the Dragon Man (Weiss) opened his mouth to us.

"Holy Knight (Daim), long time no see, but you look well and above all"

"Weiss, nothing's changed."

That's probably why the Dragon Man (Weiss) smiled.

However, the change in the expression of Dragon Man (Dragon Newt) is difficult to read compared to other Beastmen.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have much time.

I'm sorry to be so quick, but I need to ask you something. "

"I understand.

This is my buddies Kay, Grace and Sylvia.

Kay will tell you what to do. "

Hearing Celestia's lines, everyone's gaze gathers at me.

When I saw him gently, he started talking to Weiss.

"So, that means you don't have much time, so go straight in.

As you previously advised Celestia, there was a demon hiding in the kingdom (Harland). "

Weiss changes his expression to the word "demon".

Difficult to understand the change of expression Dragon Man (Dragon Newt), but it turns out that the boulder has changed.

Nevertheless, neither Weiss nor Leopard Man (Lentz) try to open their mouths.

Seeing them piercing silence, I kept talking.

"We defeated the demon who was in the kingdom (Harland).

- But one escaped. "

"You're following that, you're saying you're here?

To Weiss' question, I shook my head.

"No.

I'd like to go after him, but unfortunately the escaped demon doesn't know which way he went.

More than that, there's no reason why we're here. "

"- Why?

In response to Weiss' brief inquiry, I answer.

"I was taught by a certain person that in the west of this country (Roar) there is a land of demons, and I learned from it that demons are flowing into this world (Florence).

And I've been asking someone in this country, "Clovis," who knows how to stop it. "

"Clovis -"

Weiss, repeating that name, closes his eyes and becomes silent.

"Didn't you know?

When I asked him again, Weiss opened his eyes and answered the question.

"Unfortunately, you don't.

- But I have a little idea of how to stop the demon influx. "

――

From what I can tell, it feels like there's been a huge gain in the unexpected.

"Weiss which, do you know!?

Celestia, who was listening on the side, is surprised and enquires in momentum.

"Yeah. It's a very simple way.

All you have to do is go to the west of this country (Roar) and knock on the transfer gate where the demons will transfer.

Not in one place, but if you can beat everything up, the demon influx will probably stop for quite some time. "

Everyone breathed into what Weiss said.

I don't know how difficult it would be to knock on the transfer gate, but if I could, I'd be able to buy a lot of time, just like Lene said.

Celestia changed her expression brightly and asked Weiss again.

"Weiss, which, if you can, will you let us challenge you to knock on that portal of transition?

From what I've just heard, we have to get into Roar's country in order to knock on the transfer gates.

Without Weiss' permission, he would naturally not be able to execute it.

But the answer that came out of Weiss was to betray Celestia's expectations.

"Holy Knight (Daim), I cannot allow that"

"Hey, why..."

"The transfer gate is in the labyrinth (dungeon) and therefore cannot be attacked in large numbers.

Consequently, its destruction entails considerable danger.

In addition, the destruction of the metastasis gates could stimulate the demons.

The advantages (benefits) of being able to stop the influx of demons are enormous for this country (Roar), but at least we can't give it a role in what we don't know about strength. "

――――

Celestia sinks her expression into Weiss' answer and becomes silent.

But at that time, Grace, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

"- So should we just show that we have that strength?

To that statement, the gaze of Weiss and the leopard man (Lentz) moves. I felt a dangerous color dot in the light of Weiss' eyes.

"You're certainly right.

- But how do you show strength?

I'm not saying you can fight us and win. "

But Grace's words at this time were exactly what she bought into selling words.

"- If you want."

Relatively calm, she must make these remarks because she tried to move a glued situation.

However, Weiss reacted strongly to the remark, as he was somewhat offended.
