Garudeina Oukoku Koukoku Ki

Tabernacle Guard

My name is Johann. A werewolf man, in the city of Gardina, he is the head of the guard.

Originally, he was given work on a small farm, such as caring for livestock, cleaning manure and feeding, but now he has a subordinate. He has saved us from the stigmatization of even being subjected to unjustified violence when we are just being used, and even more so has been given not only clothing, shelter and work, but also a face to the meetings involved in the running of the city. This can't be such an unfaithful imitation, such as not exhausting loyalty.

This thought is a natural feeling, especially among the first inhabitants. And among other things, the heads of each department are particularly inclined to do so, and I am also proud to say that they are more so than anyone else. As the head of Lord Georg's immediate organization, he said he was more rigorous than anyone else and pledged deeper loyalty than anyone else.

That is why I am also proud of my duties. Wear the sword and protective gear given to Your Excellency and guard the security of His Excellency's side and of the city. Everyone in the Guard should be proud of their special duties. Outside of the day off, everyone faithfully puts their energy into their duties.

"Captain, I need your help."

"Come on, come on."

It is not uncommon for people to be asked to do sword arches and such in this way. I take the two swords I hold dearly on the walls of the guard's own room and check the fittings of the protective equipment I wear. This sword and armor were given to me directly by His Excellency Georg. I can never handle it crudely. I check them closely, then head to the training ground built behind the barracks, and look back at what's been going on.

That's what I call Lord Georg, especially Lord Kale and Lord Nina, who serve on your side. When I asked him what he meant, he said, "This is what I call a great man, a leader," and that's what I've been calling him since then. I don't know where they bought that knowledge from, but I'm pretty sure it means your Excellency won't blame you.

Dear Georg Stanford, Our Lord, Our Parents, Our Brothers, Our Friends of War.

That's what the guards often say. With the pride that everyone is directly under His Excellency, I offer my unrestricted and unconditional loyalty to His Excellency, who has taken pride in being the only organization in this city allowed to be armed and who has given them to me.

Your Excellency, Heijun, as a tolerant and serene family, will show you his face as a strict and demanding commander when coaching us. That's really tough stuff, and I don't think that swordsmanship can be reached by itself right now. I don't know how many times I've tried to make it work, and every time I'm beaten lightly, I feel sorry for you to recover with magic.

"You think it's tough? You think it's hard?... I guess that's true, I'm not sweet on you guys. At least I won't allow you, the only organization in this city that has been allowed to arm, to capture, watch or punish the others, to be weak, shallow and cunning. Stand tall and live with pride in your strength and righteousness. That's your mission."

This is what was said in the training that took place at the beginning of the formation of the Guard. Your Excellency has really been tougher than any other department in training and mentoring, and he is about to break my heart at times. But.

"Brother, aren't you being too harsh on the guard people?... a little more gently..."

"Don't be silly. Kindness is not necessary for the duties of the Guard. Later, they will be in charge of the city's military. In some cases, combat action may also be taken. I owe it to them to do everything in my power to carry out such a dangerous task. They're no different from my precious family. To never let them die, they need to be stronger than everyone else."

After my usual training, I listened to that conversation.

"… Your Excellency"

This is already for His Excellency. From that other person, I was struck by words that I thought were meant to be because they were not direct, even though they were not direct.

Right now, this city is in a pretty rushed move. Because the other day His Excellency visited the city of Nidea and went into preparation to receive those who would become new inhabitants.

Fields and orchards, fishing ports, houses and all things are transformed even bigger and richer by the hands of many people. And tell them it's up to us to protect it.

"Captain, may I?

Return to my men's voices. If you noticed, it was already a training ground.

"Oh, call me from anywhere. I'm not gonna be late for you guys yet."

Basically, our training is either with a wooden sword with an iron core or with bare hands. This time I know it would be physical training because the other man doesn't have a wooden sword.

"It is also within the present that I can say that. As one of the guards, I want to show His Excellency how much I exist."

"Well said, shall we?

"Answer!!

Thus the two begin to fight the audience a few guards who were there from the beginning. The audience watches the battle with excitement, and those fighting spare no effort. These days, this sight, which others than the Guard sometimes come to see, is already being accepted these days as a daily comma.

It was about three months ago, when we accepted new residents into the city.
