It was about 10 minutes later that Tyria came to her senses again.
Igret was fussing a lot and Edward had a sore face.
And with the addition of the knights who were just watching, the scene in front of me felt so ridiculous.
“… ah!”
Tyria quickly stood up.
This is because the words I heard just before fainting came to mind.
‘Nazak… !’
I don’t know if I have the right mind to go into Nazak, which is like no other place in the world, on my own.
Of course, Tyria now knew that Elric was Kasha.
I feel awkward and relieved at the same time knowing that my husband is a strong man who no one can easily harm, but this is something that has crossed a line.
Nazak is a land filled with walking corpses, ghosts, and all kinds of strange cold things.
Indeed, how great it is that the notoriety has spread all the way to the eastern part of the country.
I can’t understand Elric finding such a place on his own.
Isn’t that right, even if you are good at using an Amman sword, you can’t cut down an insubstantial ghost.
“Ma’am? “Are you conscious now?”
“We have to hurry and get the head of the family out.”
Tyria spoke resolutely, although her face turned pale.
“What if my body is taken over by the ghost there? Let’s move quickly. Duke of Wight, I need you to help me too.”
Tyria tended to believe many rumors about the dead.
In fact, since the existence of the devil was proudly established in this land and had a notorious past, such a belief was quite firmly established.
That’s why I didn’t know.
“Hurry and save the family head… !”
“hmm.”
How out of place Tyria would seem to Westerners who have experienced Nazak, making a fuss about fearing that her body might be taken over by a ghost.
“… Madam, would you like to hear my story first?”
Danal spoke in a voice that would not surprise Tyria as much as possible.
‘This is why the eastern country boy… ‘I didn’t have any disrespectful thoughts like that.
Living in a remote countryside, I didn’t even think about believing such rumors.
I really didn’t.
… really.
*
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, all Tyria could do was turn her face bright red and pretend to be calm.
Of course, trying to keep a straight face when you’ve already lost money will only make you look pathetic, but whatever.
Rattling!
The carriage moved diligently.
There is no way to find Elric right now and there is no way to return.
Tyria’s choice was to head to the rear command post in the war zone.
I decided that as long as I was there, I would be able to meet Elric someday.
The carriage journey was easier than the train.
Aside from Igret’s huffing and Edward’s cautious attitude, and the fact that the Knights Templar shared their share of shame, there was no problem.
I wanted to stay away from such accidents.
Unfortunately, it was pretty easy.
“It’s a war zone from here.”
This is because the scene that unfolded was so horrific.
“Give me a penny!!!”
As the carriage passed by, nearby poor people were screaming hoarsely.
A musty smell was coming from everywhere, and black smoke was rising all the time from a place not far away.
Even people who looked fine had dark expressions.
The soldiers moved with great discipline, and the rag-tag mercenaries trudged along with glazed eyes.
In particular, what caught Tyria’s attention were the mercenaries.
This is because Elric worked as a mercenary for 10 years under the name of Sword Demon Kasha.
“Move!”
“100 million!”
A group of mercenaries kicked the poor man.
Tyria trembled.
Even though it was a sight that made me frown, I couldn’t help but feel disgust.
Because I was worried that Elric might have done the same thing.
Suddenly Edward spoke.
“The old man didn’t act like those idiots.”
“hmm… ?”
“You don’t often come to the rear like this. The elderly have been on the front lines for the past 10 years. “I don’t think someone who is busy with just cutting would have time to act like that on the streets.”
Was he quick-witted, or was his emotions showing on his face?
Edward’s words were words that completely resolved the concerns that Tyria had been raising.
“In the first place, it is difficult to even call the mercenaries who play behind the scenes mercenaries. “Most of them are just thugs who are using their strength and are condescending, saying, ‘I’m a mercenary.’”
“… Is that so.”
“So what I’m saying is, rest assured.”
Edward grinned.
Then Igret nodded and agreed.

“card… From the beginning, Elric hated being noticed by others. “For those 10 years, he avoided reporters so thoroughly that he didn’t even leave a single photo.”
I don’t know if I should call that fortunate.
… No, it’s definitely not a happy thing.
Tyria knows him as Elric.
He quite likes people, enjoys going for walks, and enjoys conversation.
I felt a little sad at the thought that a person like that would have been doing a job that didn’t suit his temperament for 10 years.
The eyebrows narrowed.
The atmosphere in the carriage became a little more subdued.
It was after moving for a long time.
“Im here. “This is the command center.”
It was a building that appeared to have been converted from a huge mansion.
The flags of the four kingdoms are planted side by side, and in the middle of them is the seal of Credon Mahir in the form of a pattern.
“First of all, um… Okay, come here. Still, it would be better to call someone you know.”
“What if it’s someone you know?”
“Who would it be?”
Edward shrugged.
It was only later that Tyria found out about the person he was talking about.
*
The reception room of the command center.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Tyria lowered her head towards the man in front of her.
“… Long time no see.”
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but… No, I think this is actually the first time we’ve properly greeted each other. “Hello again.”
Dazzling white hair, eyes shining with gunfire.
And a wheelchair.
“Elbus Graham. “Kasha’s best friend.”
He bowed informally, placing his hand on his heart.
It was a smile full of leisure, just like the times I had seen it before.
“So, the goal is Kasha?”
“… yes.”
“Well, it’s different from what he expected.”
Tyria’s fingertips trembled.
His smile became quite calm.
“I left everything I had in Wibin. You won’t have to worry anymore. “That’s what I said.”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t filled with anger.
How heinous it is to say the word ‘solution’ to a subject that has run away without solving anything.
It felt like if I spoke up right away, my anger would come out.
Tyria was able to answer only after briefly catching her breath.
“… This is the head of the family. “You’re very clumsy at handling things.”
“That’s right. Well, I’ve never had any talent other than cutting with a knife. Relationships with women… .”
Tyria’s eyes widened.
Something came out that I couldn’t ignore.
Elbers laughed as if he was having fun.
“Oh my, I almost started talking nonsense?”
It doesn’t seem like gossip.
“… Is that so?”
“exactly. “There are secrets that men must keep.”
“I believe that there should be no secrets between husband and wife.”
“Personally, I think it’s a ridiculous lie. “There are only two people who believe that their relationship is truly open to each other.”
Elbers spread two fingers.
“Either they both completely hid it, or they either have so little history that they have nothing to hide.”
“What do you think we are in the eyes of Confucius?”
“Well, this is my first time talking to my wife separately, so it’s not easy to judge.”
Tyria’s fists were clenched.
It was to understand the intention behind saying such a thing at this moment.
Tyria’s reason was too mature to just be emotionally angry about Elric’s past.
If there really was a woman he was in a relationship with, it would be a heartbreaking feeling, but regardless, Elbers’ attitude was somehow suspicious enough to be called an affair.
Tyria stared at him with a stern face.
Elbers laughed and waved his hand.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
“Are you trying to disappoint me and send me back?”
“If you felt that was the intention, well, that would be correct.”
“Then your effort was in vain.”
Standing tall, Elbus’ hand gesture stopped.
“Hmm?”
Interest grew on his face.
Tyria said.
“Whatever woman the matriarch has a relationship with, that’s my business and the matriarch. Even if the matriarch had a hidden family, it is mine and the matriarch’s business. Regardless of all that, it is my husband who takes care of me. Since he headed to the battlefield by his own choice, I must meet the head of the family and hear his story. “That’s what I have to do as a couple.”
Elbus erased his smile and asked.
“Obligation?”
Tyria answered.
It was an answer that I was able to answer honestly only recently.
“It is neither an obligation nor a responsibility. Because I want to do that. That’s why.”
There was silence for a moment.
At the end,
“Puhup!”
Elbus burst out laughing.
“Fuhaha! “That’s an interesting answer!”
Clap clap!
He said, clapping his hands.
“As expected, that friend seems to be very fortunate. Don’t you have a friend like me and a wife like you? Oh, don’t make your face look so stiff. I was just worried. “She often had women who attacked her friend because he had a lot.”
“… .”
“I’m sorry. “I will say this as an apology.”
Elbers said with a playful tone.
“I pity that friend. “I’ve never even held hands with a woman.”
I didn’t think about why I felt relieved.
I feel ashamed and embarrassed for no reason.
However, Tyria said.
“… I don’t think it’s important. I am.”
“It doesn’t look like that.”
“I’m sorry if it seems that way.”
Elbers laughed like a child who found a toy.
It was truly a smile that eroded the heart of anyone who tried to read it.
Discomfort rose.
At the same time, Tyria realized one thing.
“I understand why you became friends with the head of the family.”
“What do you think it is?”
“The matriarch doesn’t necessarily try to read something from the other person. “I just accept it as is.”
That’s why Elric doesn’t worry about Elbus.
It would have been a welcome and valuable relationship of equals for Elbus.
The look in his eyes told me that it was the correct answer.
“I feel like I could become quite close friends with my wife.”
That’s not even funny.
Tyria felt that she would never be able to become friends with him.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
“Wow, that’s why you have to hit the wall.”
Tyria had no intention of getting close to someone who gnawed at others just through conversation.
