“Mumu! This is also delicious! Very delicious!”
Maybe because he was on the verge of starvation, Ditzen is eating greedily while raising a delighted voice alone.
As I look at him while being amazed at his state, I moved my eyes to Aifa and Violette.
I thought that they would surely be drawn by Ditzen’s high tension, but they continued to eat their food silently. They were facing down, but they noticed my eyes and raised their face.
“…… It is delicious food”
“…… Hmm, not bad.”
I smile wryly at the two who express their impression with a composed look and I nod.
“I am glad that it suited your taste…… Well then, shall we talk in detail?”
When I said that and corrected my posture, Violette narrowed her eyes.
“… It is about the Empire’s intention and war, right?”
I showed a forced smile while appearing to be under pressure by Violette who said that while glaring at me.
“That right…… If it is okay, I would like to hear your opinion about war avoidance so that everyone can have happiness….”
When I answer while laughing vaguely, Aifa opened his mouth.
“It’s impossible.”
He flatly cut off and discarded my opinion, and Violette also agrees.
“His Majesty doesn’t have a single piece of interest in something boring such as peace. It’s probably because you are in the sky that you can make such a cowardly proposal, but…… now at this moment, I hope that you won’t forget that the Empire’s General is before your eyes.”
After muttering that, Violette showed a faint smile.
It’s probably a feint. I knew it, but I feel the pressure that the surrounding air has become heavy as one would expect from an active military personnel.
“Ah, hahaha…… no, this is troubling. I don’t like fighting too much, so how about…… for example, if the two of you talk to the Emperor directly, perhaps……”
“Ara? I am not saying that I am against the war, but…… can you threaten the General of the Empire with this number of golems?”
And, Violette’s hair began to wave unnaturally. Although I’m not like Yuri, I was able to sense that the magic power had overflowed around Violette.
The moment when I felt dangerous, the surroundings suddenly became dark.
Before I could blink, the robots seems to be making a wall with their hands in front of me. I become relieved at the four large hands that appeared before my eyes and put my weight on the backrest.
“Wha”
“Hiieh!”
Hearing the gasped of Violette and the shriek of Ditzen, and I spoke to the robots.
“It’s alright now”
When I said that, the robots split to the left and right, and return to their fixed positions.
In the opened view, Aifa and Violette was standing up from their seats, and looking at me. By the way, Ditzen is on the floor for some reason.
“Well, I’m sorry. Because of what happened, everyone became anxious……”
I reflexively made such an excuse, but Aifa showed a different response.
“…… I see. I now know that you are not the only magician.”
“Yes?”
While I become puzzled to his words that I don’t understand the meaning, Aifa move his eyes to check the surroundings.
“…… They are probably hiding in this hall? They are around 10 people judging from the number of these golems. They are someone that can hide well without us being aware of their presence.”
“Ah, no, there is no one else……”
I realized that Aifa is making a misunderstanding, so I tried to deny it, but Violette raised her hand and snorted, interrupting my speech.
“I get it. There is only one person who can’t hide their presence well…… There, they are hiding there.”
Saying that, Violette points at one pillar. It is the place where Ayla is hiding. Although Ayla is not a magician which they should watch out for, they will not be convinced if I leave it as it is.
As I thought, maybe I should have had her wait in her room on the second floor.
While I’m regretting, I turn around at my back.
“…… Could you come out? Ayla”
When I speak loudly, Ayla with A1 came out from the shadow of the pillar. Her expression is stiff in tension and her fingers are slightly trembling.
Aifa and Violette seem to be slightly puzzled by Ayla’s appearance.
“I’m sorry. It’s rude, but could you return to the second floor?”
When I said that, Ayla faintly shook her head and opened her mouth.
“…… If, if you will allow me, please let me also be with you.”
When Ayla said that with a trembling voice, she walked towards me. Violette’s eyes becomes wide seeing the approaching Ayla.
“…… Could you be Princess Letizia? Princess Letizia Ayla Azul of the Azul Kingdom?”
When Violette said that in a low tone, Ayla’s shoulders trembled.
Seeing that reaction, Violette’s eyes becomes even sharper.
“I thought it was a big lie which the Azul Kingdom spouted out in order to avoid the attack of the Empire, but you are really on the sky……”
It was said suggestively like she swallowed what she wanted to say. Maybe because she felt sensitive to their presence, Ayla stands next to me and is not looking at Aifa and Violette.
I look at the two and cough to get their attention.
“…… Anyway, did you now understand that a magician is not hiding in this hall?”
When confirm that, Violette raised her face and puffed up her chest.
“Is she also the reason why the Heavenly Country became an ally of the Azul Kingdom?”
Aifa frowned to Violette who sarcastically spoke.
“…… Then, how are these golems being manipulated? That three are similar to magicians, but it will also be difficult to control this single golem.”
As Aifa stared intensely in order to observe Yuri, Ditzen and Mea, I scratched my head while making a forced smile.
“Ah, no, they are all like my men……”
I said that while speaking ambiguously, but Aifa’s wide eyes trembled and looked back at me.
“…… Yours alone?”
“Th, these more than a dozen golems……!? Such nonsense!”
Seeing the extremely confused two people, Yuri, who had been silent until now, placed the teacup on the table and opened her mouth.
“It is true, you know? I was given the right to tour various places, but I couldn’t meet any magicians other than Taiki-sama. I think some sort of technology is involved, but I’m sure that Taiki-sama is managing all the golems by himself.”
Aifa and Violette become speechless at Yuri’s explanation, and Ditzen showed a wide smile and opened his mouth.
“No, no, no way, all the golems!? This is definitely an innovative technology which is not a traditional technology and it is incorporated into every single golem! I want to know” I definitely want to know it! What is it!!”
Yuri smiled awkwardly at Ditzen who screamed what’s in his heart.
“Ara ara…… Ditzen-sama’s illness is happening again……”
Aifa look sharply at the two carefree people and stared intensely at me.
“…… Taiki-dono. It’s impolite, but I have a request.”
The place quiet down at Aifa who begin to talk.
“Request, is it?”
As I repeat his words, Aifa nodded slightly. And he opened his mouth.
“I want to have a match with you in magic.”
Hearing such few words of Aifa, I reflexively let out a hoarse voice.
“Eh? Why?”
