Prologue 序言

The temple in Zayin9;s capital.

扎因首都的寺庙。

That temple that differed little from a castle looked as if it were shimmering when bathed under the light of the sun. A blue sky spread out, and around it gathered the citizens of the capital.

那座与城堡相差无几的寺庙在阳光的照耀下仿佛闪闪发光。蔚蓝的天空铺展开来，周围聚集着首都的市民。

It was a place in which a war took place not too long ago. But now it had managed to regain its composure.

不久前，这里还发生过一场战争。但现在，它已经恢复了平静。

In that flurried space, the Holy Knights were formally declared the official knight brigade, and at the same time, the Divine knights were broken up.

在那片纷乱的空间里，神圣骑士团正式宣布成为正式的骑士大队，与此同时，神圣骑士团也被打散了。

As the Holy Maiden, Aura Zayin was trying to construct a new system of rule.

作为圣女，傲罗-扎因试图构建一个新的统治体系。

And in the ceremony, the ones who9;d done meritorious service this time around were lined up.

而在仪式上，这次立功的人被排在了前面。

But the Vice-Captain of the Holy Knights, Creit-san was wending a discontent look to his side. Where his eyes fell, Albano-san was lined with a grinning expression.

而神圣骑士团的副团长克里特先生却在一旁露出不满的神情。在他的目光所及之处，阿尔巴诺先生一脸苦笑的表情。

Albano-san9;s subordinates were lined beside him, and they were here because their work behind the scene had been evaluated highly.

阿尔巴诺先生的下属们在他身旁一字排开，他们之所以来到这里，是因为他们的幕后工作得到了高度评价。

Having been oblivious to their work, Creit-san looked quite irritated.

由于对他们的工作视而不见，克里特先生显得相当恼火。

Wearing armor that served in appearance alone, I cautioned Creit-san in a quiet voice.

我穿着仅在外观上发挥作用的盔甲，小声地告诫克里特先生。

In the Jewel hung around my neck, the Skills of my ancestors were recorded.

And I was trying to move the plans to the next stage.

（哈，看来我这边得有所行动了。）

"克拉拉，我把整理新文件的工作交给你了。"

0;… We don9;t have enough time. It9;s impossible. If I was to see this through to the end, it would take years9; worth of time.1;

『Hmm, that9;s an important one, so put some money into it. Oh, that one9;s no good. It isn9;t a calculation error, it9;s intentionally been misreported. The one who drew it up is incompetent. Make note of his name, and demote him. The next one is… ah, that one9;s got a high priority, but it9;s impossible for now.』

平时，它们的声音都很大，但最近，除非我在旁边喊它们，否则它们都不回应。

把这些工作交给我的原因是......人手严重不足。

A mountain of paperwork was piled atop the desk, and as I went through them, I heard the Fourth9;s voice.

除此之外，我们还解散了神骑士大队，因此我们必须为此组建一支新的部队。

In order to compensate for him, I thought Albano-san was a necessity.

➐

“Clara, I leave sorting the new documents to you.”

By swiftly attaining victory in Zayin, we were trying to alter Lorphys9; objectives towards maintaining the status quo.

在仪式上，克里特先生从头到尾都很不高兴。

“That9;s exactly the point! Leaving something like that to that man…”

The earnest Creit-san was definitely skilled. But if he was going to be managing a knight brigade, he held the fatal flaw of being too straightforward.

这让我很好奇，但又无暇询问他们的原因。

而我正试图把计划推进到下一阶段。

When my face cramped as I looked at the papers, the officials…

I9;m grateful that those ancestors put in their advice, but recently, there was something that caught my curiosity.

那些到处流传的文件显然不是我应该有权查看的东西。它们所涉及的工作范围很广，扎因的所有信息都会直接传递给我。

（即便如此，他们最近一直相当安静。）

我很感谢那些祖先们提出的建议，但最近，有一件事引起了我的好奇。

当我看着这些文件时，脸都快抽筋了，官员们......

在我脖子上挂着的宝石里，记录着我祖先的技能。

敲门声响起。几个寺庙的官员走进我的房间，手里又拿着几摞文件。

Normally, they were more than loud enough, but recently, unless I called out from my side they wouldn9;t give a response.

The documents going around clearly weren9;t things I should have the authority to look at. The work they related to covered a lot of ground, and all of Zayin9;s info was going straight to me.

A vexed Creit-san looked ahead, and scolded me.

"莱尔君，你为什么把阿尔巴诺也请来了？那个人没有动力，他的忠诚等于零。"

I hung my head, and pointed for them to place their mountains in a corner of the room. After telling them to take away the forms that had been processed, I gave some work to Clara.

On top of that, we dissolved the Divine Knight Brigade, so we would have to form a new unit for that.

A knock came at the door. Some officials of the temple entered my room with yet another few piles of documents in hand.

『嗯，这个很重要，所以要投点钱进去。哦，这个不行。这不是计算错误，而是故意误报。起草这份报告的人是个无能之辈。记下他的名字，把他降职。下一个是......啊，那个优先级很高，但现在还不可能。』

"嗯......这是大祭司加斯通的命令。从各省召回祭司看来还需要一些时间。"

The reason such work was passed to me… a severe lack of personnel.

The ones assisting me were Novem, Miranda, Monica, and Clara. At times like these, Aria and Shannon, and Eva and May weren9;t of much help.

0;Now then, next is Selva. Lorphys9; movements are dull, but will it be fine?1;

“U-um… it9;s High Priest Gastone9;s orders. Recalling priests from the provinces looks like it9;ll take some more time.”

0;Even so, they9;ve been quite quiet as of late.1;

"克里特先生，我们正在举行仪式。"

我垂下头，指着房间的一角让他们把山放在那里。吩咐他们把已经处理好的表格拿走后，我把一些工作交给了克拉拉。

克雷特先生恼怒地看着前方，骂了我一句。

"不管怎样，我邀请了他。而且后台的工作对你来说不是很难吗？比如调查或打探谣言，有不少重要的工作我们都需要他来做。"

Once the ceremony ended, I went right into processing documents in my room.

为了弥补他的缺陷，我认为阿尔巴诺先生是必不可少的。

协助我的是诺维姆、米兰达、莫妮卡和克拉拉。在这种时候，阿瑞雅和香农、伊娃和梅也帮不上什么忙。

"这正是问题的关键！把这种事交给那个人......"

It made me curious, but I was too busy to ask their reasons.

桌子上堆满了堆积如山的文件，当我翻阅这些文件时，我听到了四世的声音。

“Creit-san, we9;re in the middle of a ceremony.”

仪式一结束，我就马上到房间里处理文件。

我当时正忙于建立扎因的新秩序。我们的文官很少。我们有的只是一群新手。

0;Hah, looks like I9;ll have to make a move on my side.1;

During the ceremony, Creit-san was displeased from beginning to end.

（那么现在，下一个就是塞尔瓦了。 洛菲斯的动作很沉闷，但它会没事吗？）

通过迅速取得扎因的胜利，我们试图改变洛菲斯维持现状的目标。

“Regardless, I invited him. And wouldn9;t back-stage jobs prove hard for you? Like investigation or snooping around rumors, there are quite a few important jobs we9;ll need him to do.”

认真的克里特先生肯定是有本事的。但如果让他来管理骑士大队，他就有一个致命的缺点，那就是太直率了。

“Lyle-kun, why did you invite Albano along? That one has no incentive, and his loyalty equates to nothing.”

I was quite busy with setting up Zayin9;s new order. We had few civil officials. The ones we had were a group of newbies.

（......我们没有足够的时间。这是不可能的。如果我要把这件事进行到底，那得花上好几年的时间。）

She stood from her seat, looked at the new piles, and made the exhausted expression I9;d been expecting.

她从座位上站起来，看了看新堆放的文件，露出了我所期待的疲惫不堪的表情。

A complaint.

抱怨。

“If only these were books, I9;d be able to go without feeling this fatigue.”

"要是这些都是书就好了，我就不会感到这么累了。"

Saying that, she went into allotting the documents. Now the reason there was so many matters that needed to be sorted out, lay in that the High Priests and Priests were all of the opposing faction.

说着，她就开始分配文件了。现在之所以有这么多事情需要整理，是因为大祭司和祭司们都是对立派别。

I had thought of apprehending them, but the Fourth gave his take.

我曾想过逮捕他们，但四爷给出了他的意见。

『Ah, these guys are all useless. It9;ll be trouble, even if you send them to the outskirts. Deport them all.』

『啊，这些家伙都是废物。就算你把他们送到郊区，也会很麻烦。把他们都驱逐出境吧。』

It9;s all because he had said that.

这都是他说的。

And because of it, Gastone-san was going sleepless nights, and my party was resting on rotation. The fact that Monica could process documents faster than I had anticipated was a saving grace.

正因为如此，加斯通先生夜不能寐，而我的团队也在轮流休息。莫妮卡处理文件的速度比我预想的要快，这让我感到欣慰。

But they kept on coming and coming, and we weren9;t able to output them faster than the input rate.

但是，这些文件源源不断，我们的输出速度无法超过输入速度。

Monica shook her golden twin tails into a mess.

莫妮卡把她的金色双尾摇得乱七八糟。

“I9;d like a sandwich.”

Miranda slowly rose from the sofa with her hair in a mess. She looked quite tired, and as she stretched, the chest area of her shirt was open, making her brassiere visible.

当我以为他很大声的时候，第五报报道了他的情况。

随后，一位官方信使来道歉，并说以目前的状况，奥拉无法离开她的岗位。事已至此，洛菲斯甚至没有要求她道歉。

As she sorted through papers, Clara…

"即使我轻轻地闪动几下，他也没有任何反应......你这个该死的小鸡！！"

莫妮卡被诺维姆的话激怒了，她把目光转向了我。

➐

我回头看了看面前的文件。就在我这样做的时候，莫妮卡羞愧地离开了房间。

也许是大喊大叫让她平静了下来，她离开房间去准备茶水了。

“What9;s with your attitude!? Please care about me more! I worked really hard! I worked through the nights to make those costumes and armors, and I even modified Porter… yet you still treat me so lightly! Just because he9;s being called the Holy Knight of Love, the Chicken Dickwad has evolved to a tengu!”

『… No, your face is just as red, you know? If mama were here she9;d smack you.』

An official messenger followed to apologize, and say that in the current state, Aura couldn9;t leave her post. With things as they were, Lorphys hadn9;t even requested an apology from her.

『Lyle, your face is red. What9;s getting worked up over something like this supposed to accomplish?』

莫妮卡说话了。

“I9;m not being called that because I like it! All I said was to rest if you were tired, so what is it you9;re so displeased with!?”

Miranda was taking a nap on the sofa, and I told Monica to switch out with her. There, Monica stood, and spread out both her arms.

"......那么三个人的三明治和饮料。不，我准备四份。"

米兰达慢慢地从沙发上站起来，头发乱糟糟的。她看起来相当疲惫，伸了个懒腰，衬衫的胸口部位敞开着，胸罩清晰可见。

In it, Lonbolt had gathered the ministers to hold a meaning.

As she indifferently went through the papers, Novem lifted her face as well.

The room quieted down, and Miranda left the room to wash her face. Without any words exchanged, we restarted our work.

"我也一样。因为这样肯定更容易准备。"

当她冷漠地翻阅文件时，诺维姆也抬起了脸。

在城堡里，龙博特召集大臣们举行了一场意义非凡的会议。

"我想要个三明治。"

... 洛菲斯的皇家城堡。

Irritated by Novem9;s words, Monica turned her eyes to me.

她离开时假装哭泣。但她还是把身后的门关上了。真是个有良心的小姑娘。

I looked at Monica.

"你累了吗？你可以休息一下了。和米兰达轮流出去吧。"

It had been some days since May had delivered the letter.

Maybe yelling calmed her down, as she left the room to prepare tea.

… Lorphys9; royal castle.

She pretended to cry as she left. But she properly closed the door behind her. What a conscientious lass.

"前几日，扎因曾派使者来请求结盟。这个没问题。同时，他们让我们着手处理此事。"

房间里安静下来，米兰达离开房间去洗脸。在没有任何交流的情况下，我们重新开始了工作。

『别告诉他！』。

I immediately averted my eyes, and the Fourth…

“A few days prior, Zayin formerly sent a messenger to request the formation of an alliance. That one9;s fine. At the same time, they told us to proceed with that matter.”

“Same here. Because that will surely be easier to prepare.”

"为什么是模拟信号！？如果是数据，我早就做完了！如果是数字的，我就能独自管理这个国家了！"

梅送信已经有些日子了。

我看着莫妮卡。

我感到很恼火，我站起来，指着她。

『......不，你的脸也一样红，你知道吗？如果妈妈在这儿，她会打你的。』

"你这是什么态度？请多关心关心我！我真的很努力！我连夜赶制了那些服装和盔甲，还改装了波特......可你还是对我如此轻慢！就因为被称为爱之圣骑士，鸡屌丝就进化成了天狗！"

I turned back to the papers before me. As I did that, Monica left the room mortified.

"我不是因为喜欢才被这么叫的！我只说累了就休息，你有什么不满意的！"

“… So three peoples9; worth of sandwiches and drinks. No, I9;ll prepare four.”

“Even when he doesn9;t show a response when I give some light flashes… you damn chiiiiicken!!”

“Why is it analogue!? If it were data, I9;d be done by now! If it were digital, I9;d be able to manage this country alone!”

『Don9;t tell him!』

"该死的！！我怎么才能把我的华丽穿透你那该死的鸡脑袋！？......哈，我去准备点茶。还有小点心。"

When I thought him loud, the Fifth reported on his condition.

Monica spoke.

我立刻移开目光，四爷......

『莱尔，你的脸红了。为这种事激动有什么用？』

I felt irritated, as I stood, and pointed at her.

米兰达正在沙发上小憩，我让莫妮卡和她换一下。莫妮卡站在那里，张开双臂。

“Are you getting tired? You can take a break already. Rotate out with Miranda.”

“God dammit!! Just how am I supposed to get my magnificence through that damn chicken skull of yours!!? … Hah, I9;ll prepare some tea. A light snack too.”

在整理文件时，克拉拉......

In the first place, Aura had little relation at all to the hostilities between Lorphys and Zayin. More so, from Lorphys9; side, she was more of an ally.

首先，奥拉与洛菲斯和扎因之间的敌意根本没有什么关系。更何况，在洛菲斯看来，她更像是一个盟友。

But the problem was the matter in question… that was the issue of teaming up to invade Selva.

但问题在于......这就是联手入侵塞尔瓦的问题。

A single minister spoke.

一位大臣说话了。

“If we cannot recover land from Zayin, then there9;s a necessity for us to take some from Selva to recover our national power. What need is there to hesitate!? And I9;m sure both sides have already agreed.”

"如果我们不能从扎因收复土地，那么我们就有必要从塞尔维夺取一些土地，以恢复我们的国力。还有什么好犹豫的呢？而且我相信双方都已经同意了。"

The knight captain as well.

骑士团长也是如此。

“We9;ve already gathered masses of mercenaries in Lorphys. If we agitate them any further, they may cause issues within the country. I support the invasion of Selva.”

"我们已经在洛菲斯聚集了大量佣兵。如果我们再煽动他们，他们可能会在国内引起问题。我支持入侵塞尔瓦。"

Prime Minister Lonbolt had conducted a deal with Gastone.

龙博首相与加斯通达成了协议。

After retaking Zayin, they would invade Selva together, and the land gained would be given to Lorphys. In exchange for not returning the land Zayin9;d taken from Lorphys, the matter was settled with them lending out troops.

在夺回扎因之后，他们将一起入侵塞尔瓦，所获得的土地将交给洛菲斯。作为不归还扎因从洛菲斯手中夺取的土地的交换条件，他们出兵解决此事。

But up to that point, Lonbolt hadn9;t thought they would win.

但到那时为止，龙博特还不认为他们会赢。

If he had to say, he did want to invade, and recover the country9;s national power. But while everyone had grasped the fact that Selva was moving behind the scenes…

如果非要说的话，他确实想入侵，恢复国家的国力。但是，当所有人都明白了塞尔瓦在幕后操纵的时候......

“Cut the crap! I know she treasures the sentiment of the people. But she should know full well what sort of situation we9;re in! What emotions we9;ve been forced to endure… our knights became adventurers to earn for their families, threw down their swords, and some have even taken up garden hoes.”

“… It9;s not that we9;re hesitant to attack Selva. What we truly fear is Zayin. They9;ll take the front lines in invading Selva, and what say do we have that they not snatch Lorphys away while they9;re at it? The other party is a man who took Zayin with only a hundred to his ranks. If it9;s now, wouldn9;t he be able to take Lorphys in his hands?”

但当他们试图调查他时，巴恩西姆国华特家族的名字出现了

"我--没事的，莱尔大人。我相信他们现在只是慌乱，很快就会开始准备的。"

A single minister.

在那里，骑士团长开了口。

但随着时间的流逝，公主又是在那件事发生后出生的，她确实已经把那件事当成了理所当然。

And without a decision being reached, the meeting welcomed its conclusion…

以小部队击败大部队固然令人惊叹，莱尔却以百人之众攻下了一个国家。这个事实让隆波特感到恐惧。

在国家遭受了一些损失之后，龙博特本打算扭转人民的情绪......他们对塞尔瓦的不满。但战争只以一两次小规模战斗而告终。

“I9;ll pretend I didn9;t hear that statement. But there will be no next time.”

They were only lords within that country9;s lands, but their territory much exceeded what Lorphys held. Was he really the son of the Walts9;; of Bahnseim9;s strongest House?

“I-it9;s alright, Lyle-sama. I9;m sure they9;re just in a panic right now, and that they9;ll begin their preparations soon enough.”

When they saw him in the audience chamber, they hadn9;t been that conscious of him. According to Alette, he was a skilled adventurer… from the way he stood, they thought he might be a fallen knight.

莱尔的胜利如此明显，以至于洛菲斯反应迟钝。

“They9;ve won so much. And so clearly. If we end it all here, then casualties really will be kept to the absolute minimum.”

The knight captain glared at the angry minister.

龙宝叹了一口气。

"......我们并不是对进攻塞尔瓦犹豫不决。我们真正害怕的是扎因。他们会占据入侵塞尔瓦的前线，而我们又有什么资格说他们不会趁机抢走洛菲斯呢？对方是一个只用了一百人就拿下了扎营的人。如果是现在，他不就能把洛菲斯抓在手里了吗？"

“Lorphys isn9;t moving.”

More than twenty years prior…

No matter what they did, the leaders felt as if they were dancing atop the palm of Lyle9;s hand. Honoring the promise was scary. Breaking it as well.

扎因曾从洛菲斯手中抢走土地。那还是在诺伊尼尔堡还是最前线的时候。

二十多年前......

"洛菲斯不动了。"

"废话少说！我知道她珍惜人民的感情。但她应该很清楚我们现在的处境！我们被迫忍受着怎样的情绪......我们的骑士为了养家糊口成为了冒险家，扔下了剑，有些人甚至拿起了花园里的锄头。"

➐

But with the passage of time, and the princess being born after that had happened, it9;s true that she had come to take it as natural.

"但我们确实接受了交易。如果我们单方面废除契约，他可能会以此为由攻击我们。扎因还有雇佣兵大队留守。"

The leaders that employed their minds to the country. One of them slammed his fist onto the table.

"她到底在想什么！？那些混蛋做了那么多事，宽恕他们还有什么意义！首相，你确定你没有教育不好这个女孩！？"

Novem began to pat my back.

After the country suffered some damage, Lonbolt had intended to turn the sentiment of the people… their dissatisfaction towards Selva. But the war had ended with only a skirmish or two.

在没有做出决定的情况下，会议迎来了结束......

“But it9;s true that we accepted the deal. If we one-sidedly annul our contract, he may use that as a reason to attack us. There are still mercenary brigades remaining in Zayin.”

任由自己倒在办公桌上，我想对着那堆未完成的文件哭泣。

无论做什么，首领们都觉得自己仿佛在莱尔的手掌心上跳舞。履行诺言是可怕的。违背诺言也一样。

这是他们的疑问，但现在这些都无关紧要了。

With those words, the gathered leaders closed their mouths.

Letting myself fall over the desk, I felt like crying into the unfinished pile of documents.

Zayin had snatched land from Lorphys. That was back when Fort Noinyl was still the front most line.

"王妃已经拒绝了。她说，战争已经结束了。看来她也不打算取消和达里奥的婚姻。"

诺维姆开始拍我的背。

领袖们把心思都用在了国家上。其中一个把拳头狠狠地砸在桌子上。

在恼怒中，大臣再次放下了拳头。每个人都有同感。过了一会儿，大家都没有开口，龙博特......

他们只是该国境内的领主，但他们的领地远远超过了洛菲斯的领地。他真的是瓦尔特家族的儿子吗？

"我会假装没听到这句话。但没有下次了。"

As amazing as it was to defeat a large army with a small force, Lyle had taken a country with a hundred. That truth struck fear in Lonbolt.

"他们赢得了太多。而且如此明显如果我们在这里结束这一切，那么伤亡真的会降到最低。"

Lonbolt breathed out a sigh.

There, the knight captain opened his mouth.

“The royal princess has declined. War has already ended, she said. And she9;s no intentions to annul her marriage with Dario, it seems.”

That was what they wondered, but now such things were irrelevant.

在所有其他事情中，他们曾预料到这需要几个月......甚至几年的时间。他们从没想过他能在这么短的时间内完成任务。

But when they tried investigating him, the name of the Walt House of the country of Bahnseim came out

Lyle9;s victory was so clear, that Lorphys was slow to respond.

随着这些话，聚集在一起的首领们都闭上了嘴。

当他们在觐见厅看到他时，还没有那么清醒地意识到他的存在。据阿莱特说，他是个技术高超的冒险者......从他的站姿来看，他们觉得他可能是个堕落的骑士。

In his irritation, the minister lowered his fist again. Everyone shared the same sentiment. After a while passed without anyone opening their mouths, Lonbolt…

骑士队长瞪着愤怒的大臣。

“Just what is she thinking!? After those bastards have done so much, what meaning is there in offering them forgiveness! Prime Minister, are you sure you haven9;t failed in educating the girl!?”

Of all else, they had anticipate it would take a few months… or even a few years. They had never thought for him to accomplish it in such a short time.

一个大臣。

When I raised my face, I felt despair as I looked upon the mountains of papers before me.

当我抬起脸时，看着眼前堆积如山的文件，我感到了绝望。

“… I promised to help out here until the next war. If it isn9;t coming, then will I be left on desk work for the rest of my life?”

"......我答应在这里帮忙，直到下一场战争。如果战争不来，那我岂不是要一辈子做文职工作？"

There, Miranda stood, and unsteadily walked her way outside.

在那里，米兰达站了起来，步履蹒跚地向外走去。

“Miranda?”

"米兰达？"

“I9;m getting Aria and the rest of them. We9;re short on manpower. If I just teach them a bit, then something like paperwork is…”

"我去找阿瑞雅和其他人。我们人手不够。如果我只是教他们一点，那么像文书工作这样的事情就......"

She wasn9;t the usual composed Miranda. She looked like an avenger trying to drag everyone down to the depths of hell alongside her.

她不像往常那样镇定自若的米兰达。她看起来就像一个复仇者，要把所有人都拖下地狱。

I stopped her.

我阻止了她。

“Think back to the first day! We won9;t hold up if we take out the time to teach Aria, is what we all decided, isn9;t it? Even if one person ran themselves ragged trying to teach her, we concluded it would take some weeks, right?”

"回想一下第一天！如果我们抽出时间来教咏叹调，我们就撑不住了，这是我们大家的决定，不是吗？就算一个人拼了命地教她，我们也断定需要几个星期的时间，不是吗？"

There, Miranda turned around, and burst into tears.

说到这里，米兰达转过身，泪流满面。

“But if there9;s no change in the situation, we9;re never going to get out of this work!”

"但是，如果情况没有改变，我们就永远无法摆脱这项工作了！"

The Fourth let out his voice. It was a dry, laughing voice.

（洛菲斯怎么还不动！？这样下去，我们永远也逃不出这个地狱了！1;

四爷发出了声音。那是一个干涩而带着笑意的声音。

I turned my eyes to the document on the top.

On it was a proposal for the unification of armaments issued to Holy Knight soldiers, and he had the design all drafted up.

我在脑子里想了想，决定增加克里特先生的工作量。

He called back priests of the same faction to put them to work. But they weren9;t making it in time.

I resolved to increase Creit-san9;s workload in my head, as I thought.

0;Why isn9;t Lorphys moving!? At this rate, we9;ll never be able to escape from this hell!1;

『Ahahaha… rejected. And Lyle, how about increasing the training and work given to Creit-san and the rest? It looks like they still have time to work on trifling things like this.』

She was cornered. We were all cornered to an extent greater than what we9;d found on any battlefield.

上面是一份关于统一配发给神圣骑士士兵的军备的提案，他已经把设计稿都拟好了。

“Monica-san has work elsewhere as well. She9;s taking care of work we can9;t do ourselves. Aura-san and Thelma-san are busy. And Gastone-san is doing the same, or even more than us.”

我把目光转向上面的文件。

『啊哈哈......被拒绝了。还有莱尔，给克里特先生他们增加训练和工作怎么样？看起来他们还有时间做这些琐碎的事情。』

It was Creit-san9;s handwriting.

是克里特先生的笔迹。

诺维姆也看着堆积如山的文件。

Novem also looked at the mountain of papers.

她走投无路了。我们都被逼到了绝境，这比我们在任何战场上都要严重。

"莫妮卡女士在其他地方也有工作。她在处理我们自己做不了的工作。奥拉女士和塞尔玛女士都很忙。加斯通先生也在忙，甚至比我们更忙。"

他召回了同一派别的祭司，让他们开始工作。但他们没能及时赶到。
