Next day after the conference, Firana and the girls were called to Hironobu’s room.
「Just what on bread is his business?」
Fairy asks Youko that’s walking on her side.
「Let’s see…Yesterday it seems that Ozawa-kun talked to only Margrit-san after the conference so it might be related to that」
「Hee, so there’s such thing」
Fairy nodded at her.
「Whenever Master calls for me, I’ll rush to him instantly. There’s no need to doubt!」
Ayaka intervened graciously when she heard the two people talking.
「Ah~ Yes yes. Right」
Fairy warded it off.
Meanwhile, the group arrived at Hironobu’s room.
「Hironobu-sama, we’re here」
Firana opened the door and entered inside and saw two people there.
One is the master of the room, Hironobu and the other is Margrit.
「Thanks, it seems that all are here」
Urged by him, everyone sat down on a chair.
Hironobu who confirmed it started to talk.
「I’m gathering you today because I have decided to perform an operation」
「Operation? It is different from the demon subjugation we’re doing right?」
「That’s right. I also intend to participate in this operation」
Hearing his words, Firana was shaken.
It’s because Hironobu never went to actual combat.
If he gets an injury, it’ll be impossible for him to strengthen status.
That’s a huge demerit.
He uses his status to become beyond an ordinary knight but he never fought with a weapon.
Why so sudden? Those were their doubts.
「I’d like you to listen to the content of the operation for the time being. Margrit-san will explain」
Firana nodded when Hironobu said that.
Confirming it, Margrit stepped forward.
「As introduced, I’m Margrit. Let’s clarify the purpose at the start, the operation this time is to scout the demon king castle」
They started to be shaken again.
Speaking of the demon lord’s castle, it’s literally the stronghold of the demon king army and where the the demon king stays.
「The exact location is uncertain until now but recently my partrol army had detected a place」
「Eh, isn’t it bad if it’s discovered?」
She shook her head from Fairy’s question.
「No, the guard around the demon king’s castle is severe. The only best they can do is to confirm it’s shadow」
「Then, we’re going to collect the detailed information?」
「That’s right. This is an operation given permission by his majesty and I’m also going」
Then, Margrit took out a map and opened it.
「The demon king’s castle is one week away from here. There are only few number of elites who can approach」
Afterwards, Margrit continued to explain.
After it ended, Hironobu stood up and spoke.
「I’m going because the King had requested me. It seems that the alliance would be stronger if Margrit-san and I would work together」
If the master of the most active force in the kingdom and the general of an allied country could accomplish an important duty, the union would become even more solid.
