At the Northern Fort

I was coming to the fort that night to stay in Mr. Teena's room.

But now it's still a little early to go to bed, so relax in the talking room with everyone. I took a nap at Grandma Hyderin's for about an hour, so I'm not sleepy after eight.

Kugarg was also coming straight about me, so Woodbaum eventually also invited me to sit in the corner of the colloquium with him.

Spread the picture book on the floor, Woodbaum the deer figure lets me and Kugarg read it.

"And the prince applied to the princess for marriage, and the princess was happy to accept it"

Woodbaum cleverly turns the page with his nose.

I sat down and listened, but Kugarg was stretching all the way to the floor looking bored.

And what you hear from behind is the hissing of all the knights.

"A deer is letting the fox and leopard read the book..."

"Who had a picture book?"

"You're the chief of the division."

Everyone seemed to have glimpsed to the right there. On the sofa at the far end, the captain of the branch who took off his jacket was relaxing with the book in his hand.

It's unusual for Mr. Branch Leader to be in the talking room, but he's pretending to read a book and look over here, so maybe we were the aim.

Woodbaum keeps reading the picture books without even worrying about the hot gaze from Mr. Branch Leader.

"They went back to the castle and gave him a wedding and kept him company for the rest of his life. Congratulations."

And when you close the picture book, you start opening the next picture book. How many picture books did Mr. Branch Leader have?

Kugarg has already closed his eyelids and I'm getting tired of the picture books too. So gently lower your hips over the open picture book and force the picture book time to end.

"Milfilia, you can't read it. Trouble."

He also observed the colloquial room as he showed his stomach and fell asleep, teasing Woodbaum with four legs.

Jildo was still ringing guitar-like instruments today, but this time Kicks is singing him the right song on it. When they got on track and made a scene, Gregorio, who was nearby, said, "Ugh!" and pay somewhat more intense attention, and the knights around them laugh.

The Shigeye knight is totally bickering with the gatekeeper Aniki, and Mr. Branch Leader looks at us with the same enthusiasm.

And Mr. Lecca and Mr. Teena seemed to be chatting friendly.

But after all, Teena's smile, which seems anxious that she may not like, is a little too much.

Keep your back on the picture book, hold and restrain Woodbaum's face, while watching them both.

"Milfilia, I can't move..."

I want Teena to untie her obsession quickly, so if she doesn't find out what caused it in her stay today, I think I'll ask Rekka directly. I don't know if you'll be honest with me.

"Milfilia......"

"Oh, yeah!

I jumped off Woodbaum's face.

Speaking of discourse rooms, I realized I hadn't had the rat hole blocked yet.

I just thought I had to tell the knight of the ship's eye that he's not drunk today, and then another thought comes to my mind.

Walls with rat holes, unlike fortified walls, are made of wood. They are eaten apart by it, but once the hole was blocked, the board was also a wooden plate.

"Hey, Woodbaum. Can you block that hole?

I said, pointing my nose at the little rathole.

"Um, I guess if we crawl through the thin tree crawl, we'll be able to block it. It might not look good, though."

When Woodbaum stood up, he approached a wall with holes in it with tricks and footsteps. I follow after that, too.

"Well, I'll try"

"Please."

Woodbaum stared at the hole and concentrated, at that moment...

"Huh!?"

A brown crawl stretched like a snake from the floor beneath my feet, entangled in two forelegs, so I accidentally rang.

The crawl stopped growing around it reaching my chest, but my forelegs got stuck with the floor and I can't move. I can't help myself, so I hint and ask for help.

Then Kugarg, who was asleep, woke up, and all the knights noticed the noise, and stood up.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Milfilia! What do we do?!?"

Woodbaum comes and goes around me in a hurry with his hooves snapping.

But as long as Woodbaum was confused, the damage didn't fit just me.

"Wow, my foot!

"Oh! There's a table!

Seven, no, maybe eight, trees growing from the floor everywhere in the conversation room.

Some were thinner than a man's fingers and some were thicker than two arms, and they were entangled in the knights' feet and tables, unable to move.

"Oh, I'm sorry, guys, I'm so sorry...!

Woodbaum apologizes in view of the tragedy in the colloquium.

He said, "No one's hurt."

I said right away.

"And I'm sorry that Woodbaum still can't manipulate the power."

"Yeah. I thought I could plug a little hole, too. But I don't think you should use your powers yet."

The knights also spoke up and encouraged the soggy Woodbaum.

"Don't worry about us."

"I just can't move my legs a bit"

"Thanks, I'm scared to look, but we're all sweet after all"

Woodbaum said as touched. I mean, you thought Woodbaum was scared of the look of the knights in the fort, too.

The unbound knights leave the talking room to pick up the scarecrow. Thin things seem to loosen your hands, but it seems difficult to pull a thousand pieces because it's a tree crawl. I guess I can't do anything about the thick stuff without the scarecrow.

I want to be there.

Kugarg tried to chew my crawl off a thousand times, but I'm chewing it up to my forefoot with him, so please don't.

"Mill."

Eventually, the knight of the ship's eyes and the captain of the branch came to help me, and I managed to escape the spread safely. Sometimes it is a tiny fox foot, and after loosening the spread a little, the soles and heels of the foot were easily removed without catching it.

And when the scarecrow was transported, the knights split up and went to work to cut the crawl tangled in the feet of an immobile companion.

But there, Jildo shouts a scream of fear.

"Kicks! You don't! I don't like it!"

Zildo also seemed caught in a thick crawl, but when Kicks got the scarecrow in his hand, he blued his face.

"Lecca or Teena! I like Lecca or Teena!

"Don't be shy."

"I'm not shy! You, you're definitely gonna cut your leg off!

"He said he'd stop at the critical place."

"I don't like it, don't do it, idiot!

You don't trust me with a kick.

Zildo was, in the end, calling Mr. Rekka to cut the spread. "I knew Tina looked clumsy and scared," Ms. Teena had been denied, anxious by Jildo about her sewing arm during the plush making. They have something that even kids they like can't give way to.

All the knights caught in the crawl seemed worried about adding and subtracting a lot of their buddies, and as someone to have them cut with a scarecrow, Mr. Branch Leader, the Ship-Eyed Knight, Mr. Lekka and Aniki, and Mr. Rodos of the Kowamote Legion were popular.

"I'm trying to help you, but they're rude."

"Absolutely."

The big mess of rejection is outraged to say that. But maybe if they were in the opposite position, they would have relied on the Shigeye knights, too.

Woodbaum was around the knights restrained by the crawl apologizing, "I'm sorry," but they were all able to get out of the crawl safely without getting their feet cut off with a scarecrow.

I thought I'd ask the ship eye knight to plug the rat hole, and I looked back and saw a number of thin tree crawls covered in that hole and cleverly blocked.

"Woodbalm! Look, it's done! Thanks!"

"Huh? That? True!"

He didn't seem to have noticed either, but in the end the rat hole was blocked properly.

Now I don't have to worry about curious rats twitching my legs either, so from now on I was relieved to relax and sleep in the talking room.
