At the Northern Fort

Day before the showdown

As Heililith informs us, the blackened men are not willing to move until we approach the king's capital, and nothing happened that day but peace.

Sometimes Heililith flew through the sky to find out if there were any suspicious people around her, but said she wasn't tailed by anyone.

Every few hours we caught a break, and by the time the sun set, we reached a city called Chedas.

It's a big city with a very similar atmosphere to the city of Gorda, but by the time we got there, the shops outside the inn, liquor store and dining room were starting to close.

Heililith warns you before you go around the city gates.

"In this city, those suspicious men should be waiting for you to arrive. Sounds like we're not gonna make a scene in the city, but be careful."

If they were to move according to their plan, the second raid would be in the woods just outside Chedas.

I mean, we're not moving out of the city anymore today, so the showdown will be tomorrow.

As the knights of the ship's eyes descended from their horses before entering the city, they hid us spirits and fairies in our luggage.

You can't help but stand out and bring foxes, leopards, snakes, flashy birds and balls of light.

I get all the attention but the blackened men.

Me and Kugarg lurked their breath in the large backpack carried by the knight of the ship's eyes.

I shake for a while as I hear Kugarg snapping his throat in a mood that sticks to me.

"There must have been a Knights garrison here, right? If our enemies have grown in numbers, why don't we ask the knights here to help protect the Mills, too?

"... assuming Sarrell is the mastermind in this case, it is possible that he is rooting for the knights here as well. He's very well prepared. I've admired the lack of such a pull a few times before, and I've also evaluated it, so I should be suspicious of anything now. Not all the knights here listen to Sarrell, but if there's one person on Sarrell's side, they might act like they're cooperating and grab the Spirit."

The chairman dismissed Ms Tina's proposal while explaining it in a stern voice. It seems hard having to suspect the knights, my men, including Captain Sarrell.

Ms. Tina also nodded convincingly, deciding to go all the way to Wang Capital with the five in collaboration.

I just walked another five minutes or so from there.

"Here we are."

and I heard the captain. Apparently we've arrived at the inn where we're staying tonight.

"Guess this isn't the inn where they're staying, huh?

The captain seems to be speaking up to the baggage Mr. Teena is carrying. Because there's a Heililith in there.

Did Heililith face out of her luggage and check the inn, after hearing the crap and saying, "It's okay. Probably," he replied.

"Oh, knight? Is it? Welcome. With the use of the inn?

"Oh, yeah. But I'm going to eat first, so could you just keep the horses?

"Absolutely."

So just as the innkeeper came out, the Shigeye knights entrusted him with the care of the leader and Irax.

Looks like the store owner saw the uniform everyone was wearing under their capes and realized they were knights.

"Kugarg, shh! I hear people around me."

Watch out for Kugarg with a small voice who kept ringing his throat, but Kugarg can't seem to stop the noise himself.

But after a few seconds, the sound slowly decreases.

(Is that it? Did you fall asleep?

Kugarg closed his eyes happily and when did he get to sleep?

The cat says it's safe to be in a narrow, dark place, and Kugarg may have relaxed in his luggage and fallen asleep.

Everyone starts walking again to have dinner, and its vibrations make me sleepy too.

But I'm hungry, so I won't even go to bed willingly until dinner.

Apparently, the knights of the ship's eyes found a diminutive shop, and went inside ringing a bell with Karan Karan.

I don't see them, but they seem to have a lot of customers and they're busy with Wye. Maybe these noisy stores don't have to be more noticeable than quiet ones.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Oh, my God, I..."

The drunken uncles also continue to skirmish without realizing at all that the knights have come into the store.

"I'm hungry -" Kix said as he zeroed, making a noise and sitting in the chair. Looks like the knights of the ship's eye were led to the back seat of the store.

The backpack containing me and Kugarg was gently placed on the floor.

The clerk immediately came to pick up the order, so everyone asks for food and drinks appropriately.

"I'll take the mill back to the inn."

The knight with the eyes said over the cloth of the luggage.

You mean I can't eat here?

Eventually, after a “ minute, ” the food I ordered was carried. Everyone seems to have had a modest toast before embarking on a meal.

Looks like someone's eating meat. Smells fragrant with sauce......

I moved my nose in my luggage. Kugarg is asleep next door.

I tried to tinkle in my luggage, but the hustle and bustle around me didn't get to everyone. I can't help it, so I reluctantly scratch it from the inside with one hand.

I want to have dinner with everyone, too. I don't feel like eating alone in the inn.

Now stronger than earlier, I scratched the backpack in turn with both hands.

"I have a good portion of the mill left. I can't feed you here, so bear with me to the inn."

The knight in the eye says sorry, but I didn't give up.

You're scratching your backpack silently and violently.

"Okay, okay, okay."

A surrendering ship eye knight opened his backpack slightly and put a meat cut into the fork.

Yay!

A small meat cut is offered again when it is lost in the luggage and eaten.

"Is Kugarg asleep?

"Yeah."

I nodded and bit Kugarg's share of meat. Kugarg is fine because he doesn't feel hungry. I'll eat it all.

"Hi, Lilith, aren't you hungry?

Looks like Ms. Teena is peeking into her own luggage.

For once, I think Heililis is more than five times as alive as Teena, but I don't feel very uncomfortable putting her on "Chan” because she's childish.

"What do you mean, hungry? Spirits don't eat like humans."

"There are spirits over here who eat as many human foods as they want."

Kicks laughed and said.

"Milphyria is different."

Hi, Lilith, I hear you!

When the meal was over and I was full too, the knights of the ship's eyes left the store.

"No one obnoxious?

I say softly in my dark luggage.

I forgot Heililith's phrase, "In this city, those dubious men should be waiting for you to arrive," while hiding in my luggage, but I became obsessed with eating.

All the knights with the eyes were silent in my question.

But we said to each other, "What do we do? 'That's how I feel the air looking at each other.

I'm not frightened.

I'm actually a little scared though.

But I'm more scared to know nothing.

"It's been on me since right after I went into the city. Looks like one of those black men."

Caring for me, the knight of the ship's eyes said like nothing without a serious voice.

And it goes on like this right away.

"But it looks like we don't have any other people, so we're not going to do anything about it right now. They're just monitoring our behavior."

I wonder if Heililis is going to attack you in this city, as he put it.

But it's creepy and unsettling when I think they're following me.

I'd like to get some suspicious guys quick and fix this problem, but I also don't think I want the Shigeye knights to fight.

"Hmmm......"

While I was roaring small in my bag, I seemed to arrive at the inn I stopped by once earlier.

The orange colour of the lamp also reached my eyes through the cloth, and I could see it entering the lighted building from the dim outside.

Perhaps this inn is run by a couple, the counter seemed to have a stranger, warmly welcomed.

"Well, well! Welcome aboard, knight."

With that bright voice, I can imagine your grandfather smiling at you for not being in sales. Probably safe in terms of security when knights come in and out.

The Shigeye knights know that, too, so they don't try to hide their identity. That's what happened in the city I've been stopping by.

Maybe it also meant patrolling through.

"Is the room empty?

"There are two rooms for two and two rooms for four this evening."

It was the knight of the eye who asked,

"Then let's rent one room for four and one room for two"

The next person who answered and paid for it was like the captain.

Chan, and some coins sound placed on the counter.

"Can I have one room for two?

"I don't mind. I'm going to sleep in the same room with you guys."

The captain said pleasantly, but Kicks was leaking his voice behind him, "Shh..."

Apparently, four men stay in one room and let Mr. Teena use the two rooms.

"It's number four and five upstairs. Better neighbors."

"Oh, thank you"

I got the keys and went up the stairs, and the knight with the eyes opened the door to the room.

"Kicks, where are you going? Get in."

"Ugh..."

The Shigeye Knight seemed to have pulled the Kicks with one hand. Kicks answers reluctantly and so on.

Looks like a problem child who was put in the room with three teachers on a school trip.

Besides, the teacher, the principal and the head of the school year and the student mentoring physical education teacher - that is, the head of the regiment, the head of the branch and the knight of the ship's eye - so you don't even know that Kix's tension drops.

"Sorry, I let you use it alone... Mil, Kugarg, I'll brush you tomorrow morning."

Ms. Tina stroked us around in her luggage.

(Speaking of which, you didn't really talk to Mr. Teena today.)

During the journey I “changed seats” several times, from Mr. Branch Leader to Mr. Branch Leader, the Ship-Eyed Knight and the other person riding the horse with me every break, but I'm not on board with Mr. Teena and Kicks.

"See you tomorrow -"

"Ma'am!

I said with a vigorous head out of the luggage carried by the knight of the ship's eyes.

I made sure there was nobody in the hallway but us, and I wanted to go down to the floor magnificently,

"Gyahhh......!

I failed to land and I shifted forward.

But this could be gorgeous.

"Are you all right? It would have hurt."

"Totally daijibu..."

Suffering the pain, he got up with the face that he had deliberately done the forward rotation, and rushed over to Tina in front of the next room.

"I'm going to sleep with Mr. Teena today"

"Oh, really? Glad to hear it."

"Then so am I!

Once inside through the door opened by Mr. Tina, Heililis, who jumped out of his bag with Bassava, also followed him.

"Let's sleep with each other!

"Yeah!"

"Hi, Lilith, I want to hear about your love."

Just before closing the door to the room, the spirits of my mother rushed into me from the gap.

Apparently, the fairy was also a girl.

"Good night -"

Mr. Tina greets the knights of the ship's eyes and closes the door.

A little while later, I heard the captain who seemed lonely from the hallway.

"... tight door tightness"
