◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
I can see the warriors preparing for the camp under my gaze on the griffon.
It's too early for the sun to set, but we'll never make it.
The camp was once in a country.
If the country had existed today, no one would have lived in a country where up to 500 people could have lived.
I don't know what caused the country to perish.
However, the walls of the castle, which had no one to defend, were half-defunct and broken, but they were alive. Perfect for camping.
The question is, is it too narrow to accommodate all the warriors?
Unable to accommodate, most of the warriors will camp outside the walls.
But I don't hear any particular dissatisfaction.
Is it because most of them live outdoors?
I can see naked warriors laughing at each other.
Many of them are ill-equipped.
On the contrary, some Thors warriors don't usually wear clothes.
Called mad warriors, they believe in fighting without wearing armor.
However, it is good not to wear armor, but at least I want you to wear underwear.
That's why I sometimes get into trouble with my eyes.
Reno and Nao laugh at me like that.
Are they okay?
Looks like Shirone's fine, too.
She seems to be as cute as that.
I may have seen something more amazing in the past, but I can't hear it because I'm scared.
The sirone is not here.
I flew from here to the nearby Kingdom of Argoa. Of course, he told me not to go into Nargol.
Well, I'll be back by morning.
"Hey, Mr. Reggie. It's time to get off. I'm tired."
Lino, who was riding the hippoglyph with Nao, told Reiji.
Unbearable Reno seems tired of riding a hippoglyph.
"Okay. Reno, that's right. Chiyuki, it's time to get off and rest."
Rage smiles at me.
"Okay. Guys, I'd like to ask General Porthos what's going on, and it's time to get off."
Nodding at Reiji's words on Pegasus, he lowers the griffon to a spot that hits the national square.
"It smells good. Looks like we're making a treat tonight more than usual."
When I got off, Nao looked around and said.
I have salivation. I'm afraid not.
The campers are preparing dinner in the square.
The camp pursuers were not warriors, they were hired by the Veros kingdom.
The main job is to carry supplies, cook meals, and take care of us.
I can see one of them taking salted meat out of a wooden box.
There are preserved foods in this world similar to ours. It seems like salting is used for drying.
However, unlike our world, there are also magical preserved foods that tell the story of a different world.
This magical preservation does not degrade the ingredients and is superior to the preservation technology of our world.
However, there are few people who can use this magic, and it seems that the maximum effect is about 3 days for people who lack magic.
As a result, many preserved foods are made without magic.
However, preserved foods without magic are not delicious. Salted bread is salty and dry bread is hard and cannot be eaten unless it is immersed in water.
I tried it, but it wasn't delicious.
"This is for the brave. I have a tent ready."
One of the camp pursuer women who noticed us comes and lowers her head.
She is one of our caregivers.
King Eklas of Veros gave us special care.
Those unfamiliar with the journey came in a carriage unlike any other camp pursuer. Therefore, the clothes are not dirty at all.
In addition, he took care of Pegasus and Griffon for those who cooked in our own beds and baths.
It's completely exhausting.
Apparently Ecaras expects us to solve the problem.
But I'm not sure I can live up to my expectations.
"Thank you. I'll take care of you."
When Raj smiles, she can see her cheeks dyed red.
It's not funny.
Well then, Reggie. I'll go to General Porthos. "
"Oh, please. Chiyuki"
I don't want to be seen in a mood. I will go to the curtain of General Porthos alone.
Now, where is the general?
You can see a group of men and women walking in search of an empty camp pursuer.
"Is that you, Remus? What are you doing here?
Remus and Karis of the Red Bear Warriors are walking in.
"This is a sage with black hair. I'm helping you with the meal rations. I have to make sure that there are no unauthorized food pickers, so Karis is helping me."
Then a girl wearing a bikini armor next to her nods.
"Well, that's tough. But I wonder if Remus is okay. [M] 'Cause you're good."
"Oh no...."
Remus makes his face red when I praise him.
She has a neat face inside so she has a tendency to make fun of her.
I met Remus during the march.
It's unusual to belong to the Thors Warriors to be able to read, write, and calculate, and to never forget the face I saw once.
The operation of the organization is difficult for all those who can only fight.
I think the Red Bear Warriors will be very helpful thanks to someone like him.
However, he is too luxurious as a warrior.
Remus is rarely dressed as a Thors warrior, so he can't see his upper body, but he seems to have no muscles.
I am worried that I will be able to do it among the many warriors who are rough.
Of course, he wouldn't want to leave the Warriors. That's because of the calis next door.
Karis is quite a cute girl.
The brown skin peeking from the bikiniamer is very healthy.
Karis is a warrior of the goddess of war Amazona.
It has a luxurious appearance, but it is quite strong because it is inspired by the beast.
A warrior of her age is no match for her.
I lost to Shirone, but I remember it was quite a splendid move.
The calis looks less interesting when he sees the red Remus.
What a smile!
"More than that, wise man. Where will the wise man go?
"Well, I'm looking for General Porthos, Remus. Don't you know?"
"Oh, then. I don't want you in the tent anymore."
That's what Remus points to.
"Yes, thank you. Well then, if you'll excuse me, I'll go."
They look surprised when I say so.
And soon, my face turns red.
It's an entirely enviable relationship.
Let's get out of here.
I walk away from the two of them.
Lems' guide quickly found a tent that looked like it.
Because there are a lot of men who are clearly not like freedom fighters.
The General Porthos tent is designed to reinforce the broken walls.
General Porthos seems to use the walls to accommodate non-combatants, such as expeditionary supplies and camp pursuers who brought them.
General Porthos brought six knights and fifty soldiers.
They also seem to sleep outside the walls.
Tell one of the soldiers to come and guide me into the curtain.
The tent looks splendid and more comfortable than the inn nearby.
The Portos generals were already gathered when they entered.
"This is the Dark-haired Sage. I thought it might be time for you to come. I've been expecting you."
A fat man in fine armor stands up and guides me to my seat.
It is General Porthos that this fat man leads the warriors.
He seems to have a knight's title in the name of a prestigious nobleman in Veros, but it doesn't look very likely.
Because if you're not wearing knight's armor, you'll only look like a middle-aged, fat uncle who's everywhere.
I wonder if I can really ride a horse.
"Well, thanks to the heroes, I've been able to get here. Thank you very much."
Porthos nods well to those on the spot.
"It was really tough. My lord. They don't follow discipline anyway... They were in a way more dangerous than the goblins that attacked us at night. It's like the Red Bear Warriors, led by Lord Alcas."
An old man beside Portos hits a gavel.
The name of this sharp old man is Hornes.
He is the union president of the Free Warriors' Union of the Kingdom of Veros.
Unlike the Free Warriors Association of the Free City of Tececia, the Free Warriors Association of the Kingdom of Veros is a closed association that only citizens of the Kingdom of Veros can join.
Freedom fighters from Veros, led by Hornes, are also participating in this expedition.
And these Hornes are freedom fighters who don't have civil rights.
In fact, the freedom fighters participating in this expedition are broadly divided into two types.
Freedom fighters with citizenship of any country and freedom fighters without citizenship of any country.
And most of the warriors in this army don't have citizenship.
Freedom fighters with well-educated citizenship observe discipline, while freedom fighters without citizenship have few.
They have a temporal way of life without thinking about when they will die.
Use it on alcohol and women as soon as you have the money. Don't save.
Some steal what they want.
I've heard that someone tried to steal supplies during the march.
The Red Bear Warriors to which Remus and Karis belong are truly exceptions.
As a result, it seems that the knights, soldiers, and Hornes' companions struggled to get their supplies out on their own.
From Hornes' point of view, they are no different from outlaws.
It seems that the knights under Portos feel the same way.
Some nod.
"I was really in trouble. They even call us cowards hiding behind walls. They're totally unpleasant."
Said one of the knights angry.
"Well, everybody calm down. That ends today. I will have them do their full work tomorrow. That's why today I'm ordering you to serve more alcohol and food than usual.
Porthos laughs.
"That's the case... General Porthos, that forest is really dangerous. Shouldn't I stop using it now?
I propose to abort again.
"Sage. Are you talking about it again? The warriors won't be convinced if I say so."
Porthos looked in trouble and said.
Fighting is a job for most warriors. My proposal may rob them of their job.
It's an honor to die fighting, especially for Thors' warriors.
Also, some of the other warriors are looking for the reward this time.
Perhaps we can't stop now that we're here.
"Sure, but... In the first place, we could be in danger."
I say with a low voice.
Silver witches are dangerous without Shirone's childhood dark knight.
I don't know what's going to happen.
"It's okay. Sage, we will retreat at that time alone. It's our job to bring back the information in the first place."
Portos smiles.
How many warriors will be killed?
Though they chose it themselves, I had a headache.
◆ Remus, a member of the Red Bear Warriors Corps
I return to the woods where the sunset shines and where my friends are. [M]
It seems that Kalis is given sweets by a woman of the valiant's valet.
They're going to be back a little late.
It's getting dark so I can't see my feet and it's difficult to walk.
My Red Bear Warriors are camping in the farthest place. [M]
Because Captain Alcas has taken over the most dangerous place.
I think it looks like a commander.
"Dark-haired wise man. You were so beautiful."
I remember the other day.
It is a great honor for such a beautiful person to say that he is excellent.
An unexpected smile spills.
"Isn't that right? Remus"
It was the moment I heard a voice from the side.
Suddenly I can pay my feet.
I collapse and fall to the ground. [M]
"What are you doing? Torx!!"
Turning around while I'm down, I yell at the man with the feet. [M]
The voice is the torx of a Red Bear Warrior Regiment member like me. [M]
There is no mistake in asking.
"What are you doing? Shake your tail at the coward in the wall. Still one of us?
"With His Excellency's help! It's the orders of the Commander! I didn't do anything bad!!
When I raise my voice, I look at the person standing in the shade of the tree. [M]
"What the hell! How do you talk like that? He looks great!!
As Torx approaches, he steps on my chest. [M]
"Ufu!!
I can't breathe.
I try to get my feet off somehow, but I'm not scared.
"Hey, I'm just stepping lightly. Is this enough to keep you busy? How can you be such a young lady....."
Torx's voice contains anger.
Torx's girlfriend is Calis.
Torx likes Calis. That's why I don't seem to like being with you all the time.
He is the same age as me and is the next strongest warrior of his age after Karis. [M]
I can't be forgiven for being a weak warrior on Calis' side.
But did you know that?
I look at the darkness and try to pull my leg. [M]
But my legs don't move.
Though not inspired by the beast, the strength of Torx is real.
I may be going to step lightly on myself, but it's still stronger than all my strength. [M]
"Ah, you're pathetic. You really should die."
Torx's cold voice.
You feel the strength of your feet stepping on your chest.
Oh no!! I could die!!
"What are you doing?! Torx!!"
It was when my consciousness came as a cloud.
I can hear Karis.
I feel Torx leaving me. [M]
Breathing makes me breathe. [M]
I can see golden eyes in the darkness.
It's definitely Kalis.
"I didn't do anything. Lady, I was just practicing with Remus. That's right. Remus?"
"Lie! Then step on the fallen Remus! You don't have to! Are you going to kill me?!!
Karis' anger.
Inspired by the leopard, she usually has night vision.
You should have seen us.
"Wait! Karis, what Torx said is true! I asked Torx to practice."
With a rough breath, I stopped Calis. [M]
I am hated by men of my age. [M] The reason is that the Commander and Kalis are watching because you are weak.
In contrast, Torx is strong and popular with young warriors.
If Karis is angry with Torx to help me, there will be a gulf between the young warriors and Karis.
That must be avoided.
That's why I put up with it.
"It's true. Kalis.... So there's nothing to worry about."
That's what makes me smile. [M]
"That's what I'm saying. Lady, I'm going now."
Torx leaves.
"Remus... Why?"
Karis is coming to me.
He wants to know why he's protecting Torx.
But I can't say that.
I can't compete with Torx. If the weak me and Torx fight, the team will support Torx.
That way, my captain will have no choice but to banish me.
I want to be with Karis.
That's why I endure it.
"It's really okay...."
I made a bright voice not to worry about Karis. [M]
