"Rien is hurt? What the situation. ”

On the airship heading to Balyahat, he received a communication from Emma, the squad leader, and Ike said with some surprise.

"Because in the mission to subdue the wanted Warcraft, Jusis and Macchias had another dispute, and as a result, the Warcraft took advantage of the loophole." Emma whispered, "I've already done the treatment, but I'm worried that the wound will become infected, so I'll tell the teacher first." ”

"I see, I'm already on the flying boat heading to Balyahat now. If there are no surprises, I can reach Balyahat in another hour. Ike replied, "Before that, Emma, you, as the squad leader, are in charge of the situation of your team, and it is up to you and your team members to agree on whether to continue the mission or rest." ”

"Huh?! Ha! Be! Emma's slightly panicked voice came from the power guide, and then she seemed to remember something, "But teacher, isn't there no airport for Tolista's words?" ”

"I found an old friend and asked him to borrow an airship to take me over." Ike replied succinctly, "Now you still have to worry about yourselves, if there is any more dispute between you when I arrive, yes, all the tuition, it's so pleasant to decide." ”

。。。。。。

"What did Ike say?" Hanging up, Macchias spoke with some urgency.

"The teacher said he was on his way to get there now, and that he would be in Baliyahat in another hour." Emma replied, "Then he also said that it is up to us to judge whether the internship will be carried out or not." ”

"I'm fine." Lane said, "I can't raise my shoulders very high yet, but it doesn't hurt at all now." I can't help you positively, but I'm okay with it. ”

"Lane-san...

"And you want to." Rien continued, "If we were to stop the internship now, Teacher Ike would definitely give us a pretty bad grade." Even if it is to avoid losing to them, we must not lose now. ”

“。。。 I understand. Emma walked up to Rien and said seriously, "But if anything happens again, even if the grade is E, I'm going to stop everyone's internship." As a squad leader, everyone's safety is the most important thing. ”

"I see." Li En nodded solemnly.

"Is it decided?"

"Then without further ado, let's go and report the situation to the fortress of Orox. If you go now, you should be able to return to Valyahat by evening. Jusis replied with a glance at the time.

Walking quickly on the road, because this passage is regularly inspected by the leading forces, and the relationship between the placement of the guiding light, there are not many traces of the demonic beasts, except for the occasional few magical beasts with good strength and dare to flow to the edge of the road, the entire street is empty. After an accident, everyone was obviously a lot more careful, and even so, after a while, everyone came to the fortress of Orox.

"It's amazing...

"It looks like it's been remodeled on a massive scale." Fei glanced at the building materials that were still piled up around and had not yet been cleaned up.

"However, this is too big a base." Ryne's brow furrowed, and he inadvertently looked at Jusses, who was also surprised, "... Jusses? What's wrong? ”

“。。。 It's nothing, go and report it. Jusis frowned, shook his head slightly, and strode forward.

"You are..."

When he came to the Confederate garrison, he looked at the members of the VII squad who came to him, and the sergeant guarding the door spoke. "Wait, this uniform... So, you're a student at the Military Academy, right? ”

"Yes, we're here to report on the commission to defeat the Beasts that has been proposed here."

"That's amazing, that guy moves so fast that he will run away immediately if he rides in a chariot." The Confederate soldier explained, and suddenly the corner of his clothes was pulled by his companion next to him, and he turned his head to look at his companion with a strange look, and then turned his head, "Yu, Lord Jussy?!" Why did you come to this place?! ”

"As you can see, I happened to be back in Balyahat for my internship." Jusis replied simply, "What did those trains do just now?" ”

Everyone: "Huh?! ”

"Ah, you saw that, didn't you?" The soldier said with some excitement: "Our Confederate army has finally begun to equip its chariots. After all, armored vehicles are a lot inferior in firepower and armor compared to combat vehicles. We can't keep the regular army arrogant! ”

"I see." Jusis frowned, "Also, the fortress seems to have been heavily remodeled?" ”

"Yes, it was rebuilt just last month, and now it is said that it will not waver even if it is shelled." The soldier replied, "It is now planned that sooner or later, even the air defense will be greatly strengthened." This is the pride of our Krutsyn state, and please look forward to it! ”

“。。。 Well. After asking two questions in a row, Jusis didn't seem to want to stay for a moment, and turned his head and left. Now that we're done, let's go back to Balyahat. ”

Hurriedly out of the fortress confines of the VII. class, looking at the chariots that were transported in from time to time, Macchias finally spoke.

"Wait... What the hell is going on? ”

"Mr. Macchias... Emma looked at the somewhat angry Macchias and whispered.

"If it's Crossbell, which borders the Republic and borders it, forget it... Why do regional Confederacy armies need the latest tanks?! Moreover, the fortress was greatly renovated, and even the air defense was strengthened... This is beyond common sense, right? ”

“。。。 You should have understood it a long time ago. After a long silence, Jusis replied, not looking back, perhaps unable to answer, "This is the 'current situation' of the Empire." ”

“。。。。。。”

"The aristocratic faction and the reformers, the aristocratic alliance of the four famous families and the iron-blooded prime minister Osborne intensified under the water... Now this is one end of the spectrum. Jusis replied.

“。。。。。。”

"I've heard this rumor though... Riene interjected in surprise.

"It should be my father, the Duke of Elbardia, who decided to strengthen the armament." Jusis replied, "I'm not going to make any comments on this matter, though. If I have an opinion, I can listen to it. ”

“。。。 No, forget it. Marchias replied a little tiredly, "It's almost evening... Back on the street is the priority. ”

Speechless all the way. An awkward atmosphere permeated the crowd. Only this time it was not because of Macchias and Jusses, but more because of the conversation just now, like a heavy stone placed in everyone's hearts.
