Chapter 397 - Those Who Gathered
I was in the Queen’s Chamber with Rinji and Oru.
This chamber, which used to be a royal court, had now turned into a venue for military discussions.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
Two women entered, accompanied by knights in white armor.
One of them wore a circlet on her head.
The other carried a white helmet adorned with a tail-like ornament under her arm.
[Long time no see. Diaris Artlight, Captain of Magnar’s White Tiger Knights———– have just arrived.]
She was a woman who seemed to radiate light.
Her armor was pure white.
It had a knightly design that somehow reminded me of a fox.
Her cloak was also pure white.
This one had long hair tied back.
She wore a friendly smile.
At her waist……
(Are those…… axes……?)
……hung two slightly small axes.
They seemed somewhat out of place for her delicate and slender appearance.
However, the two axes with honey-colored blades surprisingly suited her well.
Perhaps it was due to the design?
They lacked the rough impression typically a.s.sociated with axes.
She wore a circlet adorned with rabbit ears.
Additionally, she also wore white long gloves.
This information spreading throughout Magnar was a contributing factor to the country’s swift turn against the G.o.ddess.
[But Onee-sama, please do not push yourself too hard.]
[I know that already, Sicily.]
[I will do my best to take on Onee-sama’s share of the duties. Furthermore, it seems His Majesty will be arriving shortly as well.]
The death of the King’s brother, Sigurd Sigmus, brought profound sorrow to Magnar.
However, there was also a comforting report that eased that grief.
The White Wolf King, who had been thought to be dead during the Great Invasion, was alive.
He had sustained severe injuries during the Great Invasion and had been receiving treatment in Mira.
However———– why had Mira not announced his survival until now?
Why had Mira taken the severely injured White Wolf King to their Imperial Capital, Ruva?
These issues may arise later.
[Sicily, that’s———-]
[Onee-sama, that’s enough of this conversation.]
With a tone that brooked no argument, Sicily cut off the discussion.
[Right now, our top priority is to win this battle. By the way———- he’s the one you mentioned?]
Sicily’s gaze fell on me.
The Queen of Jonato nodded.
[Yes, he’s the Hero from Another World who will fight alongside us.]
Feeling a bit shy, I bowed my head toward Sicily.
[……Nice…… to meet you. I’m Tomohiro Yasu.]
Sicily approached me and flashed a smile.
[Nice to meet you, I’m Sicily Artlight.]
She then extended her hand for a handshake.
I responded, and as we shook hands, I noticed that Sicily was observing me closely.
Eventually, she murmured……
[I see, you certainly seem reliable.]
With that, Sicily turned on her heel and walked back.

Later, the Mira army and the White Wolf King arrived in Azziz.
I joined the line to welcome them along with Rinji and the others.
Under the clear blue sky, the commanders of Mira emerged through the Final Guardian Wall.
The first to appear was the strikingly handsome General Wright Mira.
Next to him stood one of the heads of Three Elected Imperial Households, Hausen Diaz.
I heard he was serving as the Deputy Commander of the Mira army in this battle.
And then———-
There was the White Wolf King, a large man who somehow reminded me of a winter wasteland.
Like the White Wolf King himself, his horse was larger than the others.
The soldiers of Magnar, who had been eagerly awaiting their King’s return, erupted into cheers as he finally appeared.
But then, at that moment———-
Rinji’s expression turned quite complex.
Oru also exclaimed, seemingly noticing what Rinji was looking at.
(……Those are……)
I too noticed “them.”
(……The members of the Drunken Sword Party……)
We received one review after the last update. Thank you very much.
The next chapter is scheduled to be updated on Friday, October 25th, around 9pm.
