Common Sense of a Warrior

He said it was just a trip to spread the word, just the day after the long live battle when bandits attacked him in every village.

We sent one of the escort's men to the National Army garrison for ex-post processing and reporting, and we stayed at the inn.

I asked the villagers if there was anything they could do to help, but they insisted that I was sorry to get there, so I was in a shabby state.

As a result, you have no choice but to relax in the inn.

In the midst of yesterday's commotion, a bandit seems to have entered this inn because of a misplaced rear door we popped up in, and the inn is in a hurry.

There was also a few of our luggage missing, but more than that, my heart sinks to the fact that the face-to-face employee had died yesterday.

Even I am, so I can guess the mood of the innkeepers...

As I push that unpleasant feeling in, I drink the tea Anna has brewed me.

It hurts my gaze to be directed from Chillari Chillari and Anna and Enaline from earlier.

"... you want to ask me something, don't you?

I can't stand that gaze and ask from me.

"Um, lady..."

"Why is the lady strong?

While Anna said it, she heard Enaline say Zubali.

Isn't Enaline fighting me directly? Though I didn't even think so, I guess that's where I asked Anna about the situation then.

"Didn't you ask Anna?... When I was little, my mother was murdered by a burglar. And then I took part in training for the Anderson Marquis to get revenge. After all, your father crusaded the robbers."

"That's not what this is about!... Why is the lady from the Anderson Marquis so strong?

To my answer, ask aloud as Anna cut the paralysis.

The expression looked like it was chopped up somewhere.

But at the next moment, he hardened and leaned down like he had returned to me.

"... excuse me. I was struck by the way Merlis fought."

"It's okay. But even if you ask me why, I only have the answer."

"Still, I couldn't help but be there. As the same woman... the art to its strength."

Anna and Enaline's gaze was sharp.

Exhale unexpectedly into the pressing heavy air.

"... besides the training of escorts and the National Army, I just repeated my voluntary training all morning and all night. Every day, every day, I just kept repeating that...... nothing, just that pile"

"How did you get so far..."

Unconvinced, Anna made further inquiries.

"As I said earlier, for revenge. I'll beat the hell out of those who took your mother from us... because that's all I've ever lived for"

"... General Gazelle stopped you from training for your crusade?

"No. After that... the training went on because he wanted to enlist in the National Army and didn't want anyone to taste the pain of being deprived of a loved one like me anymore"

To my answer, they open their eyes as if they were surprised.

"I welcomed you in because you and I overlapped at the time.... because I know how you feel so painfully well."

"... Unfortunately, Dear Merlis,"

Anna opened her mouth as she said.

"Did they give up? That dream."

"Anna!"

To her frank words, she calls her name as Enaline blames her.

"It's fine.... I didn't give up. For me, enlistment in the National Army was a means, not a dream per se"

"What, then, is that dream?

"I don't want anyone to taste the pain of being deprived of someone as dear as I am anymore.... Even if everyone can't do it, it's within my reach... No, not for people in this country. I began to think that there were only ways I could do that, not just by enlisting the National Army. It's just that Merlis has only the arms of a sword he's polished since he was a child, but I can move so much power and so many people as your father's daughter and fiancée of the Duke of Almeria."

That's when I chose.

to exterminate them and help the villagers.

I don't regret that choice.

Even if there was only a reason to do so to them, or if from a big perspective it was just a solution on the spot, still in that situation I chose the path to solve with the power of the martial arts.

... Yes, it's a snuff on the spot.

Bandits come out, crusade it, crusade it again if bandits come out...... it will only be Itachi.

Fundamentally, we need measures to prevent bandits from leaving.

Although Merlis can only crusade with his sword...... Merlis Reze Anderson is different.

If we create useful connections from now on, we may be able to take action to address the underlying causes.

"But I'm here for you."

That's what I ended up saying.

Neither Anna nor Enaline will open their mouths.

I was just looking at the distance as if to sum up my thoughts.

I observe them like that, sipping tea.

Watching them immobile, I was thinking something different in my head.

"... maybe it's time for them to bring back the National Army"

I snap my gaze and squeal as I point it at the window.

Well, that's where I remembered.

"... Enaline, I need a favor"

In my words, Enaline responds to me.

"Would you get dressed for the one I'm wearing right now and pretend to be Merris?

For a while Enaline was unresponsive.

... What the hell are you talking about? All I'm saying is, I was tilting my neck.

"... what the hell does that mean?

"This time I'll be fighting in front of the villagers as much as I want, won't I? Normally, noble children will not wave their swords, as you wondered."

"And what is the connection between me pretending to be Master Merlis?

"... even before, when I went to train at the Marquis Anderson, I went by the name of Mel as an escort and shadow fighter. I was fighting yesterday, Mel. So, Master Merlis was evacuating through the inn a little further away from the village... such a musical note. Some of the faces of the National Army know Mel, so they'll figure it out. It would be more realistic than the Anderson Marquis' maid waving her sword."

The last word is undeniably a hopeful observation.

... but I'm also certain that we can't do anything like this.

"That's why I want you to pretend to be Merlis. It's okay. You can stick it out that you're horrible about yesterday and don't want to see people, and if you have to, you can keep your face hidden with a fan all the time."

"... doesn't sound like it's all right at all"

"It's just a hit. That's why. That said, it would be better than doing nothing. Let's get dressed."

On the spot I take off my clothes.

And put on the clothes you were wearing yesterday again.

I couldn't hide the confusion. When I persuaded Enaline to change her clothes, she got in the carriage.

... Let's leave the village by saying hello to the face of the National Army as soon as the escorts arrive, than there is anything we can do to help even if we are in this village.

Just when we were ready, the convoy returned with the National Army face in good time.

The escort crew looked at me for a moment, but it seemed like they immediately guessed.

... I guess it's because they knew Mel through training that they realized yesterday's battle.

That Merlis is Merlis.

"... that? Mel?"

Two, a member of the National Army asked me that question.

On that face, I recognize him.

"Thank you for your time."

Towards him, I bowed my head.

A man who was at the head of a group asks with a gaze at our exchange like that.

"She is, Mel. This is the escort for the marquis of Anderson. The arms of the sword stand very much because I have trained General Gazelle to do my part from an early age. I wondered how you crusaded the bandits with a small number of people... I see if she was there, I'm convinced."

That's what he asks me to introduce to the leading man.

"… so much so"

"Yeah. At least not enough for those in General Gazelle's training to acknowledge that arm. If she's here, it's no surprise that the Marquis Anderson's maid has traveled with a small number of escorts."

"... thank you for introducing me, my name is Mel. Thank you for your time."

"No, no, I'm rather sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for protecting the village."

"No... as someone who protects your daughter, I did what I deserved."

"It's a fine sense of professionalism.... overlapping. Excuse me, but can you show me to the bandits' Negijo? Then I'd like you to tell me more about the situation."

"Oh... Mel, that's me..."

I get a voice from the escort at his request, but I shook my head sideways against it.

"You wait in the carriage.... It is hoped that the lady will leave the village soon, but at the same time she is concerned about you that she will be tired of picking up all the members of the National Army to the garrison of the two villages ahead. So, you're specifically allowed to ride in the carriage."

"No, I'm that far..."

"... and the lady is a little frightened about this one. Anna's on your side the whole time, but that doesn't seem to wipe my anxiety, so I think it's better to stay close now."

"... if that's what the lady says"

"For more information, ask Anna, who's in the carriage. And I'd appreciate it if you could tell me that I was going to show you around the National Army. … Shall we all go now?"

I guided them to the stronghold of the bandits.

Keep them informed of the situation at that time.

When I finished explaining the case because it was already over, I was released quickly and without being asked any special questions.

And when I get back to where I park the carriage, I tell the carriage face to face that it's all over the door and that I'm about to get home.

Dear Merlis in the carriage... Enaline nodded and the trick seemed to flaunt through the window.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

... I want to say hello to Merlis, or I'm glad no one told me I wanted to hear more about this case from her, or when Enaline disguised me as a corner, but I'm glad I didn't have a special appearance, but you did something I'm sorry for her, or when I took the horse's reins while thinking about that as a bump.

"Oh, wait!

I suddenly pulled back and wondered what the hell was going on...... and looked back as I tilted my neck, there was a woman there yesterday who helped me all over the city.

I could barely see my face yesterday because it was on horseback and the sun was starting to set... but again, she is a very beautiful woman.

"My name is Britney. Thank you so much for yesterday... what would have happened by now if you hadn't helped me..."

"If I could help, I'd be glad."

"Oh, um... this is an offer I'm willing to make, but let me thank you"

"No. Just how you feel"

"Oh no..."

The woman makes her gaze wander with the oro.

"Oh, um... you can leave already today, right?

"Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you, but the National Army has arrived, so you can rest assured about the rest."

"... Really?"

On the contrary, I'm the one who gets sorry for her looking sorry.

"Never really mind. To be honest, I wouldn't have come to this village if the lady hadn't arranged an itinerary through this village. And my role as an escort to the lady is to protect the lady... to eliminate the danger if it approaches. This time, it just so happens that the threat to my enemies and your ladies to eliminate was the same. So don't really care."

"That being said, thanks to you guys for your help... because that's true"

Britney smiles softly as she says so.

At the next moment, however, he wrinkled between his eyebrows as if he had come up with something.

"Oh! Then do you have plans to be in Wangdu?

You suddenly come up with something. When you come up with a sunny face, you paper out of the little cage you had and start writing something.

"To?"

That being said, I was given a note with my contact details.

"Actually, I belonged to the opera troupe... if I could give you a seat at the opera when I was in King's Landing."

I see, singer...... I snort inside that I'm convinced of this beauty too.

"Is that what you mean?... So, to this village, on the way?

"No, it's my home town. Unfortunately, I haven't been home for a long time... so it's up to me to get some rest and come back here."

"Were you..."

"Thanks to you, I can live and sing again. I just really appreciate it."

"... yes. If that's what you're going to say, I'll have this one. Looking forward to your song."

"Thank you so much!

After then giving farewell greetings to those of the National Army who remained in the village, we left the village as it was.
