At the Northern Fort

"You're gone."

As she dropped off the white boy fox, Grail groaned bitterly.

It was hard to get an unsatisfactory attitude towards the mill that would follow me.

"Bad for the mill, but that sounded so funny"

"That was adorable."

Kix and Teena also say relaxing and laughing.

"Let's get out of here before we lose sight of the mill. Have you seen the chief yet?"

- This is where you're headed.

It was a big man who emerged from the shadow of the building that responded to Kicks' words.

He is about five ” s old, has a thick frowned, riddled face, and his short pruned hair is sandy.

There are also short jaw and age-appropriate wrinkles of the same color as the hair, but I don't have the impression of being old because I have lumpy muscles together.

Sounds like a commander-in-chief putting the Knights together, he looked like he felt pierced.

"Captain, did you want it there? And the Branch Leader."

Grail looks back and says.

Cromwell, the branch leader of this fort, had been dragged out of the shadows with cheats, shouldered by Gaussian, the head of the regiment.

Differences in arm strength are historical between skinny Cromwell and a gaussian as large as a bear.

But without it, Cromwell didn't seem to have the strength to resist right now. I'm sure he was looking at the rabbit backpack gear mill, he's closing his eyes and rebelling against its appearance, leaving Gaussian dragging him.

Grail, Kicks and Teena both pretended not to see Cromwell like that.

"Was it the child of the Snow Spirit that was small earlier? Your majesty tells me you're adorable."

Gaussian laughs lavishly when he says so. If Mill was on this spot, he must have been frightened that the bear looked like he was barking.

"So, are we done talking about the captains? The conclusion is the same as last night?

As Grail asked, Gaussian shook his thick neck gently and vertically.

"Yeah, Cromwell wants to continue his assignment here, and I think this guy has the right environment and relationships here, too. Because of that girl, Gitsune, she's more alive than she was when she was in King's Capital. But I have His Highness's intentions, and Sarrell won't pull it off easily. Totally, a troublesome man."

While revealing his true intentions, Gaussian spread a piece of paper to show.

"I've already told Grail, but this is a letter from His Highness. His Royal Highness wishes to speak directly with Cromwell. Therefore, I ask Cromwell to return with me to the capital once."

Gauss slapped Cromwell's shoulder vigorously as he lost the writ in which the royal seal was pressed.

"When we get back to King's Capital, we'll have a good discussion with His Highness as well as with Sarrell. So that I don't have to leave, you and him can have a conversation."

"The captain will just not want to meet Captain Sarrell face-to-face"

Cromwell says in disgust.

Gaussian doesn't like Sarrell.

Cromwell is also adorable as a subordinate, so he will take his side if he has to, but until that “need” comes, it seems to be a pain in the ass to deal with Sarrell.

"I don't like horses with him."

Gauss looked as bitter as Kicks did when he told Mille about Sarrell.

Gauss, the fleshman who became the captain of the regiment by knocking him up, is a big figure in the vessel who doesn't give a shit about details.

But its strength is perceived by Sarrell as a weakness called Gasatsu. Though smart, the character is the opposite of a fine and obsessive Sarrell, so it may be impossible for both of them to bump into each other.

Sarrell doesn't stand up for Gauss, the captain of the regiment, and sell fights, but sticking with Netineties in Gauss' big mess is the norm at meetings of the regiment.

"You're the same."

Grail laughed at Gaussian, who frowned like a child.

Grail has very little contact with Sarrell, so I'm not sure who that person is.

However, when I used to look at each other a few times, they used to behave like they weren't in sight of Grail.

Grail is a knockout person as well as Gaussian, and from the looks of it, he may have been held in disgust for being crude.

Gaussian looked at Grail and said.

"Horses will remain unfit for the rest of their lives, unless it's also an event that will change Sarrell's impression"

When I said it in some childish tone and shook my face, Kix secretly agreed, too, and shook his head vertically many times so that I could tell.

"So he's a fox, but he's headed to the king's capital to deliver a letter from Snowlea, right?

"Yeah, Snowlea didn't talk about it in detail yesterday, but when you hear about the mill, you seem to. I don't even know what the letter is..."

That's what Grail replied and recalled yesterday.

The man-shaped Snowlea appeared securely in the fort after the mill came home to visit at lunch.

So what she has asked for is a Mill escort to make her go to the King's Capital.

"Milfiria, I'm worried about you. If a kid so adorable walked down the road, he'd be caught, wouldn't he? Then I want you to follow Milphyria. Protect me instead of the wolf. '

Beautiful snow spirits have suddenly made such demands without asking at all about the convenience of the Grails.

But it was Grail, who had grown accustomed to the selfishness of the Spirit, so he immediately said, "Okay. I'll make it convenient somehow," he acknowledged.

"Convenience, etc., should be appropriately applied. Before I came here, I flew all the way to the king of man to get permission."

"Permission?"

"If you're a knight, you can give Milfiria priority over the fort." If we don't get permission from the people up there, we won't be able to move freely? That's how much the wolf knows. The king said I could take a few others with me. "

Grail was mildly surprised that Snowlea was moving so aggressively.

"What the hell are you planning? The Wang capital is too far for Mill. Sometimes on the way, you have to go through a city full of people, and exposing a mill to the eyes of a stranger will be the thing you hate the most."

As Grail asked, Snowlea stared at the ground with a light cover of her mouth with her sleeve and no expression.

I'll be right back, even if I use it nearby.

"... what's going on?

"Then it has nothing to do with human beings. Milfilia's not gonna let you leave tomorrow morning, I asked you to. I trust you for what you did."

And Snowlea finally left this to go back to the mountains.

'Oh, yeah. Then you won't be climbing the mountain for a while from tomorrow. You should also not come to the altar at the foot. If you can't protect this, you can't guarantee your life. Tell that to the people in town. I don't even need a contribution for a while. "

I don't know what Snowlea was thinking, but if he wasn't willing to talk in detail, I couldn't ask him any more. Because if you are forced to eat down and break your mood, you may be exposed to out-of-season snowstorms.

Snowlea will rarely attack the Grails, but when talking to spirits who still feel different from people, you have to be more concerned than when talking to royalty.

"So, is it Grail and the two of them who are going to King's Capital?

Gauss calls out to Grail, who was reminiscing.

"Yeah, it's Kicks and Teena. The chief of the branch and the chief of the division will also go to Wang Du, so let's act together."

When Grail glanced at Cromwell, he nodded deeply. He cares about the mill, too.

If you're going to King's Capital anyway, it's decided that it's more fun to be with the cute little fox than with Gauss and the two of them like bears.

"That means that we are the guards of the Mill, as provided by the Branch Leader. But who do you leave the fort to, that neither the chief nor the deputy chief will be present?

Gaussian replied when Kicks said hand in hand behind his head.

"Don't worry, I'm bringing Vista and Orpheus. Even a young man like you would have heard about his name. Vista's older than me, but he's a capable old knight with some past experience as a branch leader. Orpheus also has enough experience and strength. These are the people who can take care of this fort."

"Sort of. Good for you! The knights here don't know what they can do without a captain or deputy captain."

"That's what Kicks say? I don't know what to do. I'm the leader."

Where Teena stuck, Cromwell took Irax's reins.

"You're ready, aren't you? Then we'll leave soon."

When Cromwell wrapped a plain colored cloak from above his blue knight clothes so as not to attract more attention than necessary, Grail, Kicks and Teena weaved similar cloaks.

Looks like Gaussian has already made his way back to the king's capital.

"We have to catch up before we lose sight of the mill."

Says Grail as he cringes across the horse.

Thus stood the four men of the fort in the north with Gaussian the captain of the regiment.
