At the Northern Fort

"Uh-oh..."

With my own little roar, I woke up in the middle of the night.

I was angry because Kugarg came on my back in my dreams, but even in reality Kugarg was snoring on my back.

"Uh-oh..."

Now he roars like a human being and crawls out from under Kugarg's hot body.

Next to me lay the knight of the ship's eyes resting on the ground, behind which the burning fire was burning red.

Captain, to Kix, Mr. Teena, plus Irax and the leaders each seem to be asleep.

The fairy on the mother wants to flatten like a rice cake on the flames of the burning fire and the branches of the tree away from Kugarg. Is he asleep, that one?

Meanwhile, Mr. Branch Leader looks like a lookout at this hour. He threw twigs into the incineration while sitting down to keep it from going out, but when he noticed I woke up, he made a call.

I wonder if I missed you alone. When I approach you, I can put you on my leg wearing an agua.

The flames of the bonfire are so close and hot.

I was stroked in the head to fall asleep again, but I wasn't sleepy, so I flipped over and sweetbited that hand.

Next to Mr. Branch Leader, his father's fairy, a light water-colored snake, wraps around a tunnel. I don't even move a tingle, but my eyes stay open and I don't look like I'm sleeping.

Your father tells you to protect the knights, so maybe you're keeping that instruction and guarding your surroundings, or maybe you're just boggling.

Given that he is a fairy to his father, the latter is likely.

I was satisfied with the bite in the hand of Mr. Shikimoto, and then I whispered to keep everyone around me awake.

Hi, Lilith. You're not coming back.

"Right."

I wonder if I still can't find the blackest men.

I've been fighting with your mother for a long time, and I hope I haven't been too pushy.

"Or maybe he's already defeated Sarrell."

Heililith is going to run about that much. All of a sudden he said he was going to slap the mastermind.

The chief of the branch quietly shut me up when I said that to him while he sat on his back and exposed his stomach.

"Mill, we haven't decided Captain Sarrell's bad yet"

Sure it is. Even though there is no conclusive evidence yet, Captain Sarrell was already a bad guy in me.

But the tone of the chief also felt like sheltering Captain Sarrell.

I sit back on Mr. Branch Leader's agura because even talking while navel heaven ruins my nervousness.

"Shino, I hope Sarrell's not the killer."

"... I think so."

Mr. Branch Leader thought with a serious face as he messed with my tail with his hands.

"I don't feel particularly comfortable with Captain Sarrell, nor do I trust him specially. But he and I have a very similar position within the Knights. And the way you see it from around you."

Mr. Branch Leader is probably saying that both himself and Captain Sarrell are out of the Duke's house, and that he was therefore distant, unwanted, or jealous within the Knights.

Perhaps nobility has nobility's hardship, as the common man has the hardship of the common man.

"So I can also guess how hard Captain Sarrell is struggling with the Knights. Neither me nor him is as blessed with stature as Grail, nor is he as attractive to attracting people as the captain of the regiment. There's nothing special about it."

There was no humility in that voice because of the feeling that it was pale about the facts.

"Besides, Captain Sarrell seems to have had some bad feelings in the home. Apparently he was weak at a young age, and I heard rumors that he was being treated coldly compared to his healthy brother. But I guess I'm ambitious because I've had that experience at home and within the Knights. I think you want to go up more, make sure no one looks down on you, and let the people around you recognize you."

I wonder if Captain Sarrell has become enthusiastic about gaining status and power anyway, while Mr. Branch Leader is trying to gain strength and become stronger and less concerned about appreciation from around him by being confident in himself.

"Drown in ambition and hope you haven't lost your justice."

The chief sighed and moffed my cheek.

"I'm back. Yo! I'm home!"

"Fugu...!?"

In the morning Heililith returned. Now it's not transparent, it's back to its original colorful body tone.

Landing on my tummy asleep, he said, "Are you still asleep?" and he looks cool.

"My nails... they're stuck..."

"Oh, I'm sorry"

Haililith is light as air, but only her nails hurt.

Moving over my usagi backpack I left on my side, Heililith said, "Look, wake up!" and tried to wake up my drowsiness with wings flapping. Comfortable breeze.

"Morning, Mill"

Looks like Mr. Branch Leader was already in good hands next door. When did the night watch take turns?

I couldn't confirm because I had fallen asleep at some point.

"A proper one?

"Of course."

Mr Branch Leader replied with a face that did not make him feel so tired of the journey. There are also snakes next door in exactly the same position as last night. It must not have moved since then.

"Morning, Mill"

"Are you tired, Mill"

"Nice morning."

Mr. Teena and the knight with the eye of the ship, and the captain, were already awake, so I run around to each and every one of them and have them stroke their heads.

Nice.

The knight's uniform and cape of the ship's eye was torn with the back area slashed, but he had successfully shifted his cape and weaved his feathers, and had engineered his bare skin invisible.

I was glad I was safe again, so I get the Shigeye knight to stroke a lot more than the others.

I'm glad this hand is still warm today.

Well, it's Kugarg and Kicks who aren't awake anymore.

Kugarg is awake by Haililith, so I stormed the sleeping Kicks with a dirty cloth wrapped around it.

Kicks woke up coughing hard as he ran away with his aid and jumped on Kicks' chest as he slept on his back.

Is that it? Me, maybe a little fat.

"Come on, then, I'll report on my reconnaissance results!

Haililith strained her chest over the rabbit backpack.

"Mill, yes, it's soup. It's hot. Cool it a little before you eat it."

"Come on!

"From by the side I'm telling you!? Look, why don't you eat Regan first, until it's cold?

"But I, I already have Regan. You still have it?

"You're the one who bought the pile. Eat responsibly."

"Ah, Kicks! That cheese and my Regan. Come on!

"Even I'm tired of Regan!

"Hey! I'm listening!?"

Haililith raised her voice high as we all surrounded the burning fire and had breakfast.

One glance at me and Kix pushing Regan against each other says, moving from a rabbit backpack to Kix's head.

"I'll announce the results of my reconnaissance!

"Now, don't claw and step on my head."

Kicks put Haililith on his shoulder with his face up.

"Milphy, I don't care, I'll do it"

"Thank you, Kugarg"

"Chi, you like it?

"Yeah, suki. But jerky and every egg fruit is better, more suckle. But when it comes to fruit, there's not much Regan right now."

"Kugarg, Milfilia! You can eat, just shut up!

Haililith got angry with the crown feather on her head.

If we do not talk, I turn to the captain of the branch and the knight of the ship's eyes, the captain.

"It's about the suspicious men, but they were in a small town up ahead. I'm resting at the inn."

"Ahead..."

Mr. Branch Leader is putting out a map to confirm.

"You must be ahead of us, knowing we're on our way to the king's capital."

Kicks said abominably as he threw the chiseled bread into his mouth.

"Probably! But I think I left that town this morning. They're still trying to grab Milphyria and Kugarg, but they haven't healed the wounds they sustained when they fought you, so it looks like they've decided not to move until they're critical. Is there a city called Chedas near the Wang capital?

It was the knight in the eye who answered Heililith's question.

"Yes, the city next to the king's capital."

"In that uninspiring forest between the city of Chedas and the king's capital, they are planning another raid. He said it was time to grab the Spirit, but failure was unacceptable."

"Captain Sarrell's threatening you, I'm sure."

Whimpers as Kicks chews on the last piece of bread.

"What we need to be aware of is that they're trying to increase the number of people. I thought the five of you were no match for each other, and I was calling out to the bad galas who happened to be staying in the same inn."

"Are you trying to hire me for money"

Heililith nodded at the knight with the eye of the ship and continued.

"The number of people is doubling. But that's right, they're both a bunch of bastards, but because they see those who hire them... uh, what do you say, oh yeah, it feels like" chimps, "but the original five felt pretty and dirty when they saw their faces. You must be knights, as you expected."

Following Heililith's sentiments, the captain looked bitter.

"We'll definitely get them next time. That way we'll be clear about who we are and why we're here."

The captain's voice was harsh, either because the killer was likely a knight. All the Knights are like the chief's men, so maybe they feel like they can't do it.

The other four are also nodding at the words of the captain, but if the number of enemies has increased, isn't it difficult to catch them?

Even though Haililith is no longer an enemy, there is still a good chance that everyone will get hurt. Someone could get seriously injured dying again.

When I think of the knight with the wounded and falling eyes, my tail circles between my crotches. I don't want that thought anymore.

I know we're all strong, and I know the knight of the ship's eye will never lose if he's a human opponent, but I'm really worried about him.

"Shh, I'm sorry...! Somebody, hey, why!

"I'm good with Milphy. Heililith should just fly away!

"I'm tired too! You did your best reconnaissance!

…………

We left the woods ready for the morning. I tried to ride a horse back down the street, but for some reason they all got dense on the leader's back.

I rode the leader with him because I was worried about the ship's eye knight, but then Kugarg followed me, and also Heililis, who liked to be busy, and even followed his father's snake for some more reason.

"Oops! A little more by that way"

"Milphy, are you kidding me?!?"

"Hey Kugarg! Do something about that long tail! You've been hitting my face since just now!

…………

Three people make a fuss in a narrow place, and the other one doesn't make it calm and slight already in this situation.

"So, one person, shall we take it on? Except for Mr. Snake."

"Then who am I, too"

Mr. Teena and Kix have spoken to the Shipyard Knight,

"I'll take it too."

It was Mr. Branch Leader who had interrupted there and reached out a lot.

Grab every rabbit backpack of mine that was about to fall at the far end, put it between my feet and look satisfied.

"I'm going that way too!

"Ah, then so am I!

Then it'll just be the same thing again.

The Ship-Eyed Knight captured Kugarg as he tried to fly towards Irax and pushed him against the Kicks.

"Hey, Lilith, split up and get in."

"Uh, I don't know what to do"

After flying through the universe and swirling to get lost, Heililith stopped over the captain's shoulder. Does it feel stable because I am disappointed?

Kugarg was reluctant to ride with the Kicks and eventually hit his hand with Mr. Teena, who was next to him.

The snake remains on top of the leader with the Shigeye knight.

I'm the only one.

"Run ahead and we'll have you on board the Snow Fairy."

Mr. Branch Leader told me that Kicks was going forward.

My mother's fairy likes “the front” so she sits on Kicks' horse's nose.

"I'm not touching you!

"Kicks, let's go. Hurry up and go."

Mr. Branch Leader says mercilessly to Kix as he reaches out and tries to touch the fairy.

When man became a strange group of five, spirits three, fairies two, we ran again toward the king's capital.
