A few days passed, in the military area of the special headquarters.
‘It is not usually raining constantly down like this.’ A few days had passed, and the rain was still falling without stopping.
“Commander, we've gathered.”
“It's good. I'd like to ask you guys, don't you guys feel anything weird?”
“You mean about the rain that kept falling for the last few days without stopping?” (Laren)
“Iya.”
“Isn't that normal commander.” (Fame)
“Rain that drops for days without stopping, what it can still be said as normal. If like this continues to be dangerous for our harvest.”
“But commander, what should we do? We can't possibly stop the rain.” (Dirk)
“Keep, I won't tell you to do anything beyond reason. I just want you to find out why this rain still hasn't stopped.”
“Cause? Did anyone trigger it?”
“Ya.” In this world there is such a thing as magic, something like this can definitely be done with it. And besides I've placed my suspicions on one of the kingdoms, but it's just a suspicion of mine if I don't have proof I can't do anything.
“Good, we will do.”
“Do it quickly, thoroughly, and carefully.”
“Good.”
In the afternoon, room.
“Ha, it's been a few days of the royal school being closed. It's boring.” Because of this relentless rain, the royal school was forced to be shut down. Had it not been comforted, I could have told Iona to leave and I could rest.
“Iona, are you inside?” (Risa)
“Risa-oneesama. What's up?” Risa went into the room.
“I just want to ask you something?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“What is your relationship with her going well?”
“Eh?” I don't know what Risa means, but it seems like what she's talking about right now is about Iona's relationship with the person she likes. I shouldn't have interfered, but. “Y-yes, there seems to be no problem.”
“So, can you introduce her to me as soon as possible?”
“Eh? S-it still can't.” I don't know, but somehow I feel this answer is what I think is most appropriate.
“So, yes already. But take it easy, I will continue to support you. Don't worry.”
“T-thanks.”
“Ah, I forgot that I have a job I need to finish soon. Iona, I go first.”
“Y-Ya.”
I lay on the bed. “Ha, the person Iona likes, yes. What's the guy like?” If she's Lucy, I'm not surprised anymore but if she's someone else then it makes me a little curious. “Already, it is not good to interfere in other people's problems.” Even so, it is undeniable that I am indeed so curious about the person Iona likes. ‘Does he deserve her? Can he take care of Iona? Is he able to solve the problem that Iona always does?’ I don't know why those questions popped into my head. But the most important. ‘Did she also like Iona?’ At least from some of the questions that popped into my head, this question bothered me the most.
“Ha, this sucks.” I don't usually think about other people's lives, it's probably because I've been living as him for a few years now. So I'm a little worried if he picks the wrong person. ‘Creator of problems, and always idle me.’ At least 2 things that I always felt when with him, even though we only met once in person in the subconscious.
‘Huh? The subconscious..’ I instantly remembered something.
A few minutes after that.
Risa's Room. “Risa-oneesama.” I went into Risa's room.
“Iona, what's up?” He's on a trail.
“Do I bother?”
“Ah, no. Don't you think, what's the matter you're suddenly here?”
“Huh? Iona, what's wrong?”
“Can you?”
“Iya, I can.”
‘That's great.’ If only I had realized it sooner, perhaps this incident would have ended quickly. “Risa-oneesama, can you feel the flow of magic from a very long distance?”
“If the magic core power is large, I can feel it.”
“So. In that case, can you check if there is a flow of magic energy outside the kingdom?”
“Eh, b-alright.” Risa started to close her eyes.
A few moments later.
He opened his eyes again. “Risa-oneesana, how?”
“There, but because the core is not so strong. I'm having a little trouble detecting it.”
“Where?”
“In the western mountains, if not mistaken.”
“Huh? Mountains?” A place that is rarely touched by humans, because the place is rich of course. And again. ‘Kingdom Ruens.’ The great empire that exists is quite far west of this kingdom. ‘What they intend..’ Somehow I remembered something again.
“Iona what's wrong?”
“T-Nothing, I have to go back. Thank you for helping me Risa-oneesama.”
“Ya, no problem.”
Tomorrow, the military area of the special headquarters.
It still rained like the day before. “Laren, Grild, Famus, Dirk. Did you guys find anything?”
“We found it, there was a suspicious movement in the western arena. The Dren.” mountains
‘So it is true, yes.’
“Commander, is there a problem?” (Dirk)
“I want to ask you something.”
“What?”
“What is possible if this rain is made using magic?”
“Huh? It was extremely difficult, even requiring dozens of magicians to maintain for the rain to keep falling.” (Laren)
“But, this kingdom is close to the sea. Isn't that easy.” I also had time to feel the rain, it turned salty. It's different from the rain I know.
“Do you want to say that this rain is artificial rain?”
“I didn't say it like that, but it's likely like that.” It's a little risky, but at least I have to do something. “All of you, go together with the whole team. And immediately slaughter the people who are in those mountains.”
“Huh? Commander, do you have a reason behind this action?” (Dirk)
“Yes, if this artificial rain continues. Then our equipment made of iron will rust and it's not very good. Besides, it seems like I already know who's behind all this.”
“Good, we will do according to your command.”
“Good. You can leave now.”
“Good.” They set out with the 500 men under my leadership. ‘What king Ruens was so upset that dad turned down his offer?’ At least that's what I can conclude. “Yes, at least today and the following days, I hope to walk in peace.” At least that's what I expected, so I can rest and let Iona take over.
Next day.
A sunny morning, without cloudiness and also rain. “Ha, it's a beautiful day to rest. Iona, I leave this peaceful and quiet day to you.” Letting her enjoy a peaceful day, that was the least I had to do to her.
But, on the other hand. ‘This silence, scares me.’ This quiet, silent place seemed to make me feel a deep loneliness. ‘What does a dead person like me really want?’ The question always haunts me, but unfortunately I never find the answer. ‘It's very painful.’
