The carriage that carried us made steady progress towards Gallia. If we pass the city we are now taking a break from, only defensive cities will be ahead to defend the borders of Gallia. I mean, that's where I'm supposed to be. Probably an army led by Roxy will be stationed in the defensive city.

"So far, thank you."

"This is the one who let me make good money. Sorry... it's too dangerous to run a carriage from here on out"

"No, it would be enough if we could get this far"

I thank the middle-aged man who manipulated the carriage to bring us this far. I was to give him fifteen promised gold coins and say goodbye.

You can't let him act with you any more than he is a samurai. According to him, military carriages transporting samurai towards defensive cities are leaving regularly. On that, he said, he could go to the defensive city after being well escorted.

The carriage man said he would leave this city as soon as he was found searching for a samurai to return to his hometown. So, I guess it's a place you don't want to stay long.

Mine, I'm coming.

"Okay."

The city we're in is built for backward support, and when a lot of supplies are brought in every day, they're sent to the front line. With that, there are also many samurai, overflowing with unthinkable proximity to the Wang capital. Looks like they're gathering for a demon.

Here's a demon crusade request, like a mountain, and you can make as much money as you want. Even more rewarding than elsewhere. Exactly a heavenly place for a well-armed samurai. However, it is also always adjacent to danger, as demons called stampedes often strike in large groups.

There are two types of stampede, small and large.

It is the massive stampede vulgarly known as the Death Parade that will be under the jurisdiction of the army led by the Holy Knight seconded by the King's Capital. The number of demons rises to tens of thousands and is quickly swallowed up at just a samurai party.

There are hundreds of other small stampedes, even if I say they are few. So about hundreds of awesome samurai have come together to form huge parties and stand up to each other. It seems like someone who used to be the Holy Knight in the King's Capital is directing that huge party. Former Saint Knight - These are the people who came here after losing a bitter battle over their birth in the King's capital. Maybe they dream of returning to the King's Capital by name.

"Faith, where are you going?

"Let's start with the tummy. Someone will eat my preserved food."

"Huh, well"

Mine, the killer, doesn't seem to be reflecting at all. On the contrary, your stuff looks like my physics theory is activated.

Well, fine. I'm used to it. If Mine wasn't mad at me, that's fine. I'm keeping Gried's word and trying not to piss Mine off.

It's unusual for Gried to draw so much attention, so I decided to follow him honestly. You've been lightly cleaned up by an impudent saint in a managed city and busted to the other side... Whether it's light or not, so I don't even want to think about what happens when I'm seriously angry...

"What are you doing? I'll be there soon."

"Hey, don't go into the store on your own"

Go after Mine and get inside the store. Whoa!? This smell... meat! Jurli, it smells so good that I can't help but notice who's coming out.

The store is full of smells of roasted meat, and this smell alone is going to make me eat ten pieces of bread.

I can afford the money, and I've only been saving food lately, so sometimes luxury would be good. I don't think I can sit anywhere with any empty seats or a full fill of stuff to look for.

Uh-huh, the seats are occupied by people who seem to be samurai, and they can still be bickering at the table after eating. I'd appreciate it if you'd step back.

Standing there thinking about it, Mine walks away from me. And stopped in front of the samurai enjoying the post-meal conversation.

"If you're done eating, back off. It gets in the way of those who wait."

I told them in a flat voice. Oh, I can somehow predict what's going on. Maybe something terrible happens.

I didn't want to eat the roll, so I decided to watch him softly in the back.

The samurai who told me to leave are clearly frustrated. The oldest of them waves to get rid of Mine.

"Get away from me, I'm blind. There's nothing for the kid. If you want us to deal with you, you're gonna have to give us those big tits..."

Don't tell me that, it's on page two or so of the mine instruction manual in my brain. Besides, even though it sucks to just treat a kid, Peppy speaking is these unruly desolates. I don't care what happens.

And all that fun space freezes in an instant.

Awwwwwwww, that hurts. This, too, looks very painful. Ah, stop it, because it's made to keep you from turning that way. What, shh... that's it. Bad, first off, hey. Even me watching gets me hissed.

After all, Peppuko's remarks were very dangerous words. This is going to engrave a new page in the mine instruction manual.

Next to me are eight brave samurai poking at Mine, stripping their white eyes and piling them up. He repeatedly blows white bubbles from his mouth and is scared of young girls, as rumored. I seem to have accepted a trauma that will never disappear on them for the rest of their lives.

If I could measure Mine's strength, this wouldn't have happened. Because you look young and cute and fooled me.

Causing this tragedy, she was about to sit in a properly vacant seat and place an order with the clerk. My clerk's sister is freaking out, listening to Mine's order. Shake your legs so bad, pathetically......

Mine invites me to take care of him. I don't want to be called at this time. People in the store are scared of me.

"Faith, come on. Sit here."

"Yes, yes, that!? I haven't ordered it yet."

Before I sat down, the clerk's sister went to the counter to clear the table and escape.

What, to let a bulimic skill holder fast, this is already torture, right? I'm wondering if I've done something to piss you off.

"I kept it aligned. Me, gentle."

They ask me for my consent with enough red eyes to repel it. I wanted to ask for what I liked, but at the corner she cared.

That's a strong way to use your mind though... should I say thank you?

"Thanks. Yeah, Mine's nice"

"Ugh..."

Is that it? If I complimented you, they turned me away. Outside, Mine may not be used to being praised by people. Come to think of it, as far as I know, she's behaving like a sidekick. Regardless of what you're afraid of, there's no way you can be praised.

The same big crime skill holder against me, which means he's probably being slightly nicer to me than the others.

As I watched how Mine was shining, the item I had ordered came. One large piece of meat on a large plate.

Hmm? My meat... where? Mine tells me he's going to cry.

"I'll share this with you"

"Heh, you mean that. Why are you doing this again?

Usually, we order separately. Yet only this time is it unusual to share things with each other.

Is this because you two want to eat together? Mine seems to have a general idea, too. I thought you were a little relieved.

"This is like a pre-fight ritual. Eat the same thing with your people and go fight. Something I've been doing for a long time."

"Huh............... what did I just say?

"Eat this together and fight the mighty enemy. I'll have my debts fulfilled."

Damn, what Mine said about being gentle is foreword withdrawal. Speaking of which, you said it when we met. He asked me to help him as he went to Gallia.

The time has come to fulfill it. I didn't know you were going to be framed for coming a little further to the defensive city and fighting an opponent that Mine would even say is a strong enemy......

I'm anxious, but I've always been interested in working with major crime skill holders. Well, either way, this is mandatory, you can't get away with it.

I cheek the tender looking meat Mine cut me up. It means consent to the battle.
