58 - If you're a 44-year-old, give it a good beating.

We had left the military city of Berkoua and were now about to cross the southern border.

Until Liphia-sama's death, there used to be only a watchtower, but now a base has been built in the mountains, and entry into the country seems to be restricted.

However, this was only until the other day, and it is expected that the restrictions will be loosened from now on, but for now, we are still waiting.

That's because if you suddenly say that you have relaxed security, you are playing right into their hands.

We have a letter from the King of Zestgard, and the first thing we need to do is to grasp the current situation of Rastor, the great power that lies ahead of us.

With that in mind, we use "Invisible Coating" on our Hinokami forms to keep them flying.

Xana's sisters had defeated us, but that was due to the high sensing ability of the "Heavenly Bow".

I'd like to think that there aren't many people with that kind of skill.

By the way, what kind of country is "Rastor," where we are headed?

Magmael suddenly popped up with such a question.

I was wondering about that, too.

Well, if I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say it's a shady country.

"You're the one who said that?"

Hey, Mr. Ophir!

The first time I went to the beach, I was in the middle of the night," he said, "and I was so excited.

It doesn't matter," said Ophir. That's why we had to increase our military power. They may be friendly on the surface, but behind their backs they assassinate people's mothers with impunity. Why should we believe them?

But why do you think the Rastor men did it?

Alka's question made Xana's face darken.

Xana's face darkened as she asked, "Because ...... I actually saw them do it. I saw your mother get shot through with an arrow by a man I saw at Rastor Castle. I remembered it because we used to interact with each other more or less. I was about the same age as my sisters.

I see. That must have been hard.

Thank you. But I'm fine now, thanks to you. Thanks to you.

XANA smiles at me, and the atmosphere around us becomes warmer.

But I don't get it. Why did XANA's father do something that made him so angry? And why did this Rastor guy?

Rastor. You've got it half right, so remember everything.

Magmel gave him a half-glance and Ophir cowered his shoulders.

One "yes" is all it takes.

"Heeey."

I suddenly thought that the two of them might be a surprisingly good pair.

I'm not sure, but I think they're trying to get Bergua to build up its military strength. Assassination would mean, from Rastor's point of view, that Bergua has made a false accusation, and it would be a good cause for them to increase their own military power, wouldn't it?"

'Certainly that would be a possibility. In fact, they say that since we started increasing security on our borders, Rastor has also begun to expand its military.

So they are using this as an excuse to invade Berkoua. "So, perhaps, Bergua's magical engineering technology is superior to Rastor's?

Yes, it is. For example, a homunculus.

--For example, a homunculus.

As XANA continued, the faces of all the participants turned grim.

If that technology had been taken away by Rastor, I am sure that even more tragedies would have been caused.

I'm so glad that didn't happen.

The only thing I wonder is that Bergua had Xana, or "the saint of the bow. It would have been obvious that Bergua would have used it as a weapon, and I don't think we have a chance of winning that much, unless we have a lot of trouble. ......

The actual "Titan" is the one that comes into play there. It's probably a weapon that boasts more than even the power of a saint.

A boastful weapon that surpasses even the power of the saints. ...... What a country this is! ......

But to even create such a thing, the workings of man are terrible. ......

Magmer looks so sad, but...

--I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to say.

There was someone who put life into her back.

What the hell are you looking at?"

It goes without saying that it was Ophir.

What are you doing all of a sudden?

Naturally, Maghmel was red-faced and his voice was raspy, but Ophir grinned and said, "You're so full of shit, you're making a mess.

You're just making it worse because you look like you're about to shit yourself, aren't you? We are "saints," after all. Isn't it your job as a saint to beat the shit out of people like that?

Well, that's true, but ......

Then stop worrying about it and go beat the shit out of them with that stick of yours.

Mr. Ophir: ......

Well, that's a good point. The problem is that she's lived her whole life without doing her saintly work.

The problem is that she has been living her life without doing her job as a saint. I've heard that before she met Iguza, she was attending martial arts tournaments all the time.

'Pfft, you forgot about those old days. What's more important is to live in the now. Don't you agree?"

Oh, oh ......

No, what are you going to say to me there, ......?"

I say to Magmel, smiling at Xana and the others who are sighing, "Oh,.......

I'm not going to take it so seriously. If we're on the wrong path, we can correct it. God has given us the power to do that.

I say, "......, yes, that's right. Yes, that's right.

I nodded my head and my mouth softened as he nodded his head.

Then, looking ahead, he said, "Well, I can see it now.

Now we can see it. That is the largest country on this continent that we are aiming for--Rastor.
