After meeting up with Frankel, Kaine, Grandpa, Doyle, and the rest of the Ten, we headed for the meeting room.

"Oh, you're here."

As soon as we entered the meeting room, Schneizel looked at us uncomfortably.

 He was probably checking to see if we had been affected by the enemy, such as being replaced. Since we went through as it was, no one seemed to have any problems.

"We were told that the ten-man squadron was to be disbanded and regrouped, is that true?"

 While we were all taking our seats, Doyle was the only one who stood up and asked Schneizel.

"It's true. I will explain the details now, so please take your seats."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

 Doyle sat down, and now everyone was ready to participate in the meeting.

 As far as the eye can see, the people gathered here are divided into two groups.

On the one hand, those who have followed Schneizel around the place for the past two years.

 We are in this category, and we are outsiders to the fortress city of Ausstadt.

 On the other side are those who have been here from the beginning.

The Lord of the fortress city, the Marquis of Strahl, has not returned yet, but there are about ten military men who seem to be in the upper ranks, excluding him.

 Many of them don't seem to think well of us. They are clearly in a foul mood as they sit in their seats.

 Well, it's not surprising that they would be.

A war of invasion in which another country comes in earnest will be a tremendous success if it is a war that is won.

 Those in high command would be rewarded handsomely at that time, but we had snatched that position from them.

"I'm sorry to ask you all to gather here so suddenly..."

 After getting everyone's attention, Schneizel quickly moved on to the main topic of the meeting.

 The content was a proposal to share Argiano's warning that I had brought back with me with everyone, and then reorganize our tactics.

 Everyone on our side agrees.

The tactics we were now going to employ were those deemed to be winnable based on the current threat level.

They will probably not be able to cope with a larger theater of war than we anticipated.

 So there is no reason not to change.

 It's supposed to be--

"I am against it."

 An objection was raised from the Ausstadt side.

"What? Is he an idiot?"

"Please, Mr. Doyle, shut up for a minute. If he hears you, you'll be in trouble."

"Sorry."

 Doyle was apologetic and silent, but I agreed with him.

. I think it's too stupid not to make any changes in this situation.

 Well, let's wait and see. That's all I can do at this point...

"And I'd like you to remove that boy from the room, please?"

"Huh?"

'Huh? What are you talking about?"

My words and Schneizel's coincided.

The man who had first denied Schneizel's proposal opened his mouth with a huff and a snort.

"What are you talking about? Don't you have any doubts, Lord Commander of the Legion? Do you think it's right to let a little boy who may have once fallen into the hands of the enemy attend a military meeting?"

 ---Ah.

Come to think of it, wasn't I connected to Arjano via the mind?

Don't tell me he is hearing this too?

"Excuse me. I'm going out until the meeting is over."

 I don't want to provoke the person who is uncomfortable with me any further.

Let's leave quickly rather than stay here.

 With this intention in mind, I looked at Schneizel.

"I'm sorry. I understand. You go back first. I'll handle the rest of the talk over here."

I left the meeting room immediately after Schneizel said that.

I left the conference room and went out into the courtyard of the mansion to keep military-related information out of my ears for the time being.

 As long as there is even the slightest possibility that Argiano is snooping around, it's not good for me to get involved.

 I had to solve this problem as soon as possible, but what was I supposed to do?

Do I go back to the orphanage and ask to have it deactivated? No, that would be too dangerous.

 But there is no other way.

 While I was worrying alone, I heard a roaring sound from far away, something breaking the wind and moving at high speed.

 What is it?

The sound is rapidly approaching me. Could it be an enemy attack? I don't know what kind of principle the sound is based on, but if this is the work of the enemy, it is sure to be quite troublesome.

 Just as I braced myself with this thought, the sound stopped right above me.

 I fearfully looked up. What I saw there was a very familiar figure.

"Oh, it's you, little Noru boy. It's been a long time. Do you remember me?"

I'm sorry, Almire-san. , but I can see your underwear.

"Ha-ha-ha, you've become a little dirty in a short time."

 He is so noisy. He is being a dirty person from the very start.
