On the border between the Republic of Colden and the Demon King, there is a rapid-flowing Carson River.

This large river serves as a moat, preventing demons from entering.

You cannot cross by boat because there are demons on the shores of the Demon King's Land that dwell in water.

Only one there, the bridge is crossed.

On a large stone strut, a number of wooden arched bridge plates have been given to them, a mechanism that allows them to drop bridges at any time in an emergency.

Built with many sacrifices, this bridge was named the Cervantes Bridge in the name of the Saints.

Here, a garrison of the Republic of Colden is also set up on the side of the Demon King's Land.

To find out as soon as possible about the demon attack and repel it before entering the bridge.

One evening, the guards were playing cards inside the garrison.

That's all I have when it comes to fun, because I just can't drink while on duty.

"All right, I win! I'll take 50 silver coins!

One of the guards roughly collected the money piled on the table.

"Hey, who the fuck mixed up Laden silver coins?"

The guard pinned the silver coin carved with Lord Laden's face.

I'm completely wound up with my hand, another guard holding my head.

"Shit, I'm fucked! I'm on vacation tomorrow, and I don't even have the money to go to the bar!

"Well, I'll have fun at home."

"Fun's upside down. Unlike you, I'm single, right?

"Enjoy yourself, then"

Laughter spreads through the garrison.

One of the men looked out the window laughing.

I see white shadows in the distance.

"Hey, something's coming..."

The men change their faces and when they stand up in unison, it's time to peek out the window.

"Is that a demon? I've barely seen it here lately..."

"No, that doesn't look right."

The men took the spear and went outside.

As the white shadow approached, it became clear that it was doing people's hedges.

I'm dragging something.

"Stop!!

When the captain shouted, the shadow stopped walking.

………………

A figure that emerges from the back of the demon kingdom.

It's not just a matter of time.

There are demons that turn into people and deceive their eyes.

The men slowly went towards the white shadow.

As the distance gradually approached, it turned out to be a woman in a white robe.

"Hey, that robe......!

One of the men raised a small voice.

In the meantime, it's the same robe as the adventurers who went back to church.

The captain kept his men waiting and approached one woman.

The woman is dragging a large coffin.

"Excuse me, could you remove the hood?

"Yep..."

The woman paid for the hood with her thin fingers.

Long dark hair spills away.

………………

There shouldn't be room for adventurers to wear makeup.

Still, she was a beautiful woman with red creases, long eyelashes and impressive green eyes like Zhu.

But the cheeks are blue, and there is muddy stain like a spoiler.

………………

The woman took the pendant out of her deep chest and showed it.

"Now... do you understand?

Definitely a crest that only officials of the cathedral of the Church of the Stars are allowed to wear.

The captain corrected his posture at once.

"I apologize! I didn't know you could come back alone..."

"I'm not alone..."

The woman grieved at her beautiful brow and looked down at the coffin she had dragged.

"I went off with my people, and this is how I continued my journey. I have a lot of friends I've lost. But I wanted to give it back to my country, even to one person."

A torn robe by the way seemed the harshness of the journey.

"... please enter the garrison. A meal will be prepared. I'll take the coffin."

As the captain reached out, the woman bowed her head.

"He wants me to deliver you to your country."

"... ok"

The woman flutters, yet drags a coffin that looks heavy.

The captain was harassed and watched how it went.

"By the church, warm your bread and soup!

When the men went inside, they placed bread and a small soup pan over the fireplace.

The captain led the woman to the garrison and seated her on the warm side of the chair.

"Just water first"

"Thank you......"

The woman rang her thin throat and drank out a large glass of water.

It was a little strange to the captain that it was on a long journey, with its creaking but wet twigs.

"Wipe your face"

The captain hands the wet cloth to the woman.

The woman wiped the mud on her face and wiped her neck.

For a moment, a deep valley glances.

The captain drank his saliva, but when he noticed the woman's gaze, he hurriedly shifted his gaze out the window.

"The soup and bread have warmed, have it!

My men smile and arrange meals in front of the woman.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful woman.

No, it might be the first time in a while.

"Thank you......"

The woman offered a prayer to God, dipped the bread in the soup and carried it to her little mouth.

The guards fell in love with the beautiful work, which did not seem like a meal for the hungry.

"Um... do you know which way my people went?

When the woman visited, the captain replied.

"We heard you were headed to the Holy Capital via the village of Penne"

"How many went through?

"Eight."

When the captain said, the woman was saddened.

"Much... you've lost it"

"But you're alive"

"... right"

The woman had a grin on her face.

"You must thank God, you must be"

The captain nodded deeply.

"The bed is available. It's a painful place, but I was wondering if I should take a couple of days off."

When the woman finished her meal, a warm cup of coffee behaved.

The guards, too, sit in the chair and have coffee with them.

I'm worried about the beautiful face of the woman, and I turn to her, but I have the captain's eyes, so I have nothing to say.

It just surrounded the same table, but it was the care of my heart.

"There's also a carriage here. Let's also issue a decree to the Sacred Capital. Rest in peace."

"What a thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. The soldiers are delighted that you are here…"

I thought I'd go on in this garrison without a woman, but I felt kind of unproductive, and the captain changed his words.

"that I can restore my faith..."

When the captain said so, the woman laughed small.

"I am nothing but an adventurer. It's not that thankful."

"Still, it's the church. You are most welcome. My men are preparing the bed now. Rest in peace."

"Thank you"

When the woman drank her coffee, the guard forced her to go to the back bed.

"You had some unexpected visitors, Captain."

"Oh, like no disrespect. Don't get your hands on me because I'm beautiful. If you're bad, you're on fire."

"Joke! I look like a gentleman."

"I wonder"

Exhausted female adventurers will be in deep sleep by now.

Imagining that sleeping face makes me feel so restless.

"I'm undertrained too..."

"What's going on?

"It's nothing. It's time for us to go to bed."

The next morning, the captain waited for the woman to wake up, but she didn't quite wake up.

When I got worried and went to look at the bed, I didn't see a woman.

………………

I thought, and when I went to look under the house, the coffin that should have rested there was also gone.

One beautiful woman who has dragged a coffin and traveled...

It seemed to the captain that what happened yesterday was all a dream.
