"What, in Aus?"

When the matter of <> was almost settled, <> received a call from Makina III.

"Yes. The situation is ............."

"...... I see, you want me to protect the parents of one of the <>?"

Yes.

"And what are their names, addresses, and what do they look like?"

"I got that from the transinfo. I'll send you the information.

"Please."

After this exchange, Jin D explained to Francis Valois de Cerlois, the uncle of the King of Cerlois, who was also on board.

"I see, taking hostages and making them do what you say. Classic but effective. And it's clever to let them live in the countryside instead of locking them up.

But the parents of the other former saint, Arianne, are under house arrest in the cathedral.

"Then perhaps they are not all in one piece."

"Maybe they are."

Francis said that the lack of uniformity in their methods might be due to the fact that they are divided into factions and have multiple chains of command, and Jin D. agreed.

Francis said, and Jin D. agreed with him.

In the meantime, they saw Ilmina Ratkin, <>, Hahn, and Reiko returning.

Jin D. instructs Hope, the pilot, to land the <>. At the same time, the <> is recovered.

Reiko is carrying two neutralized battle golems as samples, and Hahn is accompanied by an arrested farmer.

Later, <> from <> also returned.

"The operation was a success. Thank you."

Jin D said this line as the commander of the mission.

Then he said,

"I just heard from Makina. Everything seems to be going well over there. However, there is one matter of concern, and he has asked us to take care of it.

He explains that he wants to protect the parents of a former saint in Aus.

I understand. If that is what Makina-sama has instructed you to do, then so be it.

Illumina responded as an organizer,

"Why should I say no to saving lives?

She also expressed her own feelings.

* * * *

< hurried to Aus.

The distance is about 10 kilometers, and it will be there soon.

On the way, he explains to everyone about the person he is protecting.

"<> We are here to protect Auralia's parents, Dahad and Umari. The address is 4 Central Street West, and they look like this.

"Oh."

A middle-aged man and woman appeared on the monitor screen.

There was no mistaking them, since they were the ones that the old man had searched for with his "peepers" based on the information from Makina III.

Illumina Ratkin and have descended from the that landed on the outskirts of Oath, and have set out for the town to protect the parents of < Auralia.

The address was clear, and < knew the way to the house, so the house was easily found.

It was a room in a communal house in a residential area.

When Illumina knocked on the door, the response was immediate.

"Yes, who is it?"

A woman appeared, just as she had appeared in the video.

"Are you Ms. Yumari?

Yes, I am.

Is Mr. Dahad home?

"What?　Yes, my husband is at home.

Good.

What?

Here Yilmina Ratkin showed her ID.

"My name is Ilmina Ratkin of the <>. My name is Ilmina Ratkin and I'm here with your husband about your daughter.

Yes, please ...... wait a moment.

Umari withdrew and was replaced by Dahad.

"Well, my wife told me that you want me to accompany you about our daughter.　What do you mean?"

"Well, I don't have much time, so I'll try to be brief. I'll explain it to you briefly. ...... Did you know that your daughter is known as ?

Yes, well...

"So, that ......."

Deciding that an honest and truthful statement would only complicate things, Ilmina Ratkin said,

"The position of a saint is a difficult one, and your family could be in danger, which is why we're here.

I gave him a simple explanation, which he seemed to accept.

"Oh, I see. How many days ...... do you need?"

"We will provide you with everything you need, just take your valuables with you."

"Okay."

Dahad withdrew, satisfied.

Illumina lets out a small sigh of relief.

After about five minutes, Lahad and Umari came out of the room after changing their clothes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

"No, no problem. ...... Oh, this is the golem escorting us."

Before she could surprise them, Illumina explained about .

"Oh, I see. ......"

Still surprised, his wife, Yumari, looked scared and kept her distance from him.

"It's okay.

Irmina called out, leading the way at a brisk pace.

They were blocked by a group of people dressed in white and wearing masks.

Two masked men dressed in white.

"Mr. Dahad, Mr. Yumari, would you like to come with us?

"What is it, who are you?"

Ilmina Ratkin stepped forward and stood in front of the men.

"What? Who are you?

"I'm not interrupting, am I?"

I am Illumina Ratkin, second-in-command of the Avalon High Command. Step aside, please.

<.

"What the ...... are you already here?

What are you going to do?

"Never mind, we'll just use force ......."

One of them took out a wand and was about to fire some magic, but before he could do so, he fired a paralyzer gun with built in.

"Whoa!

Aah!"

The two men pass out.

"......"

Dahad and Yumari are stunned, unable to keep up with the situation, when Ilmina Latkin gently calls out to them.

"Come on, let's get out of here before more of these people show up.

"Yes, yes."

The two fainted men are easily tied up, and <> carries them on his shoulders and takes them away.

"Oh, you're back!

"Oh, he's back."

In front of the landing <>, Jin D., Reiko, and <> to <> were out to greet the returning Illumina Ratkin and the others. and others.

"You must be Mr. Dahad and Ms. Umari.

Yes, yes.

Please come in first.

Yes, yes!

The two are intimidated as they are invited into the airship, which they have never seen before.

You are safe inside. ......<>, launch!"

Jin D. commands the <> to lift off.

It continues to ascend to an altitude of 500 meters.

At this point, most threats can be ignored.

Once again, Jin D explains the situation to Dahad and Umari.
