From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

= = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Sleep fragrance is spread from top to bottom. I stand tall and hold my breath slowly. The aroma was still intense.

"Drink and die." ’

It's about time hostility rose in the sky against the man who sowed this fragrance. I can see the shadow moving outside the window. I lay in a road bed.

Grrrrr.

You hear a lot of poison coming from the pumpkin outside.

“That's right. Good boy. Do you want this?”

It was the first voice I had heard. You hear what he throws down his chin.

He's trying to get himself killed. My pumpkin tries to eat, but he only talks about what I give him.

“Bang!”

Or he eats only what he hunts, so he may try to bite and kill them. I get up before the pumpkin bites them. Then he approaches the window and looks out.

I peered out, and there were two of them. I looked at my face relying on the moonlight. I didn't know him at all.

“It's not a dog, it's a wolf. ”

He's got good eyes.

One of them speaks and I hear his voice right next to me.

“What do I do? Kill him? ”

Grrrrr.

My pumpkin understands. If I let it go like this, there was going to be a wolf murder on the moon night.

Glug glug!

“Phew!”

Suddenly, the window opens violently, and the man standing right next to you is surprised. He puts his hand in his chest and pulls it out. It was right after the shining blade of the moon came into my eyes. I leaned down and curled up, throwing myself out the window like a slingshot.

I was able to do this trick because I wasn't fully grown yet.

Wood Duck.

My window frame is pressed down, cracked halfway through the air, and in the meantime, I stretch my foot halfway through the bell. My heel strikes the clavicle of the man with the drawn blade. It was an inevitable blow.

Out of the way!

“Huff!”

Suddenly, I realized that I had been broken by the sensation of my feet and the terrifying sound of them. Reflexively fills the training tool as soon as it wakes up. So now my shoes have a metal plate in them. It's a weapon just by wearing it.

Tak.

I hit him with my foot and did it with one move. If a stranger saw it, he was clean enough to clap his hands. As soon as I got down, I opened my mouth.

“You guys smoked, right? ”

“Damn it.”

The opponent raises his arm and takes out two daggers right next to him.

I don't look familiar, but I'm familiar with what I'm doing. A Bandit's Guild.

They were trained in combat, not just names. It was what I expected when I smelled the clumsy sleep. There was no answer, but their attitude was the answer.

“Fight?”

This used to be a barracks. It would be noisy if we fought here, and that would be very disadvantageous to them.

Their eyes gleam. I've killed some people. I lost my smile.

“How dare you yell at me that the bastards who raided the Apprentice Knights within the Earl's Land are here? ”

You turn around and tell them to fuck off. They step back.

Grrrrr.

The pumpkin stares at them, revealing its creepy fangs. I put my hand on the pumpkin's head.

“It's bad food. Don't eat it. ”

The two men chirp and spit out their teeth, then they leap back.

Right after they disappeared. Hu and I took a breath and spoke into the ears of the pumpkin.

“Pumpkin, did you smell that? ”

What can I do on a day without training? I made medicine, organized the books, hid the money well, and played with pumpkins the rest of the time. Though I heard you played, it became natural to understand the abilities of pumpkins.

Here's what I figured out. Pumpkins smell better than any existing hound.

“Bang."

I said to Pumpkin, who answered small.

“Follow.”

The pumpkin starts running. I chased after him.

“Shit, are you okay? ”

“Nimmy, it's broken. ”

I looked at the shoulder of my colleague who was running in cold sweat.

“Are you sure you're sleeping? ”

“Yeah, it was smoking pretty bad, too. Knights can be so tolerant sometimes. ”

Knights are experts in combat, and those who have trained them since they were very young have also developed resistance to poison.

It was a small misunderstanding that Chris was actually heard of the hidden sword of Earl Ludwig. Elite-trained knight trainee, of course, overdosed.

“How much did it cost? ”

The wounded man raises three fingers.

“Three gold? ”

No, 30.

Thirty gold coins was not small. It was supposed to be the end of the day when I took the scrawny one and just asked him about the recipe.

“Let's go back and report it first. ”

The face of the person who was injured was bluer.

“If we get caught trying to eat alone.... ”

“I know. But if you hide your failures, it will be even more chaotic. ”

I'd rather eat, wipe my mouth, and if I get caught later, I'll just leave with an excuse.

What they tried to touch was the saint and the hero of the battlefield.

“But how did it last? That's one hell of a sleep scent. ”

“Fuck, I wonder about that. Anyway, it's important that we get out now. ”

“Whew.”

I ran for a long time with a broken bone. The man sweats coldly and slows down for a moment.

“Why did he let us go, then? ”

Even if you shout loudly, people will gather. Instead, he even silenced the wolf next to him.

“I don't know. Let's figure out how to report it now. ”

I accelerated my steps toward the headquarters. They run through the walls of David's castle, and arrive at a rare tent.

It was a place where war orphans and refugees lived. I could have been a slum in David's Slum. So they just opened their tents as headquarters and stood in front of the underground passageway below.

“Friends.”

The voice that I heard right behind me gave me goose bumps. And then, reflectively, you turn your head back, and there he is.

The wolf staring at them was right next to them.

“How did you get here? ”

The fractured colleague is stunned and speechless. I'm freezing. Let's open our mouths like that.

“I followed you.”

I can see the opponent returning a faint reply to their eyes. The target arrives fairly quickly, but his breathing is still intact.

The most uncomfortable thing I felt with a lump of iron was walking around killing sounds.

This is also a kind of exercise. Instead of thinking that and moving around, I practiced walking in silence with a heavy lump of iron. Walking itself was one of the specialties. You learn the way around the city and just walk along the barracks.

At first, the sound of thumping turned into the sound of peanuts while walking along with pumpkins.

‘It's about strength. ’

Basically, it was the same with a lump of iron or a backpack full of dirt on its back. It took a month for the sounds of the Congo to fade, and since then there has been no discomfort in moving.

The pumpkin was a genius who could run silently from birth, so there was no problem. So we were able to run and chase without a sound. The city has no soil, no branches, and only well-polished stone roads. There was no discomfort in taking off your feet, and the buildings that were built everywhere became a cover. Moreover, they can't even imagine someone chasing them. I killed my footsteps and walked and ran in the direction the pumpkin led me.

Clouds obscured the moonlight, but this much field of view was enough. I had a pumpkin's nose.

The pumpkin didn't hesitate and I just followed behind. While I was doing that, I saw them arrive in the Slum, and I saw them go into a tent. The next trail was enough for them. And my goal wasn't to kill them.

This was enough.

“Friends.”

You abandon the secrecy and talk to them. You look surprised. It's a good thing I didn't jump in place.

“How did you get here? ”

“I followed you.”

With the answer I was saying.

“Let me see the face of the man on the line. ”

It was a slang, a word used among the bandits. One of them looks at me and opens his mouth to see if he's awake.

“You, I mean. ”

You're still awake.

“Apprentice knight Chris, Saint Chris, hero Chris of the battlefield. Do you need more introductions? ”

“... I don't need it. ”

I finally came to my senses.

“Let's see the guy with the rope. ”

“Where did you work? ”

“You're cracking it. Don't test me, don't think about letting the scissors out. ”

There are a lot of things I can't understand even if I hear them from my side. I waited for their answer.

“Can you wait? ”

The tone has changed. They're definitely after me, but the situation has changed. I spoke and acted out that I had experience in this industry, and now I'm right under their chin.

I didn't intend to push them off the cliff, so I nodded and came out. After sitting properly next to the pumpkin, the wounded and the healthy face each other, and the wounded are standing where I can see them.

A moment later, a short red-haired man emerges from the tent. Her shaved hair was round.

He looks up and down at me and says,

“My kids are sorry? ”

“It grows well and gives off a fragrance. ”

“Well, I'm sorry. ”

“I'd like to ask you why you were aiming. ”

“Sleeping Pure Recipe. ”

I had a short conversation, but I was able to get everything. The opposing Pokémon says they have nothing to hide. Well, it's great.

It shouldn't be hard to find out that the Sleeping Pure recipe is coming to me. I know where there are secrets in the world, and some of the people around me already know my bathtub manager.

Besides, I didn't come here to get a big apology. Of course, there was still something I wanted. Otherwise, I had no intention of chasing after them at dawn. Thinking about what to do for a moment, the opponent looks at me and says.

“Aren't you coming? ”

I looked at him quietly and cleared my mind. Understanding the slang of the Bandit Guild is a sign that they work in that industry.

“Is the bastard the master of the line? ”

The bastard calls the owner of the Guild in slang.

The chief asked, the captain's expression changed briefly. The user speaks to an unexpected opponent. I quickly returned to my original expression, but I was observing him carefully.

“You're picking on me because I grew up without a father? ”

He looked at me and said, Then he stares at me fiercely and says,

“Do you want to keep it? ”

Capturing was a kind of slang to kill. The group will show its name.

They call them the Unicorn Knights because they are led by a one-horned horse.

The shield guarding the royal palace is called the Royal Guard.

Hundreds of daggers, the scaffolding behind your back.

It was just a name for a rogue guild or assassins. So they were the ones I was trying to find.

Find the Hundred Banners.

Just before I came to the city from the battlefield, Whelken told me. I didn't forget that. I didn't need to until now, I just didn't find it. But now I need it, and I'm relieved of the effort to find it on the other side.

I looked at them and spoke up, empowering my voice.

“Kill me within Earl Ludwig? Did I come here unprepared? ”

That's right. We're here unprepared. But my reputation is a really good sign. At that moment, I saw the captain's face and those around him who were changing their faces. I didn't have to look inside their heads.

How did I get here, smelling and tracking the pumpkins? I can see that. I gave them a sense of misunderstanding and let them think so.

Earl Ludwig already knows about this place and sent me.

“Well, my men are a little excited. ”

The commander asks for help, and raises his finger to leave a mark in the air.

A sign from the bandits. A gesture to unravel the siege. I see you've been surrounded.

Well, I didn't have any intention of getting beat up just because things went wrong. I had pumpkins, and I was confident in my skills training.

The blacksmith glances at me and says,

“Is there something you want? ”

“One thing, just tell me the owner of the line. ”

Is it you or is it him I think it is?

“I've got a hundred leagues lined up. ”

In fact, there was no way for me to know if that was a lie or a truth. The target is deceptive and skilled at hiding. Still, if you think about it, it's always a way to come out. I had a way to find out everything I wanted to know, including their relationship with Hülken.

The world of thieves is not surprisingly complex but often driven by simple logic. I knew that. The best approach was intuitive law.

I put my hand in my chest and pulled out the leather pouch.

Awesome.

The coin strikes.

There are implied rules in the Thief Guild.

These rules are meant to stop each other's blood and are a way to pass jurisdiction without bloodshed with each other's consent.

I threw the bag of gold coins I had collected onto the floor.

Shorts.

“Let's make a bet. ”

There's nothing set out in these rules. Just divide the winner and the loser. The method is free, all by mutual agreement. And the winner gets everything.

“Five Platinum Eagles are sleeping in that pouch. ”

500 gold coins. More than my annual salary

Gulp.

Someone swallowed the saliva. It was the salary I had collected and the money I had collected from selling my sleeping pure. The opposing Pokémon has no reason to accept the wager. So I had to give him a reason.

The reason I had to accept the bet was because I threw money at them for it.

The eyes of those who saw it shake. Five platinum coins were never small. I didn't take my eyes off the captain's face and the look in his eyes.

Soon I saw this bet coming. I read his face and his eyes, and I was sure.

Greed shook the commander of a hundred times.
