The next day's sight ended peacefully, and the day of the festival came.
The day was also described as the first day that the Fey apprentice knights would go around without the soldiers of instruction.
At first, just visit about three nearby villages. So it ends in the morning.
There was a bit of a nervous air between apprentice knights who were briefed by John and assembled in the morning as usual.
That's right. Because the team has a mess.
The leader is as cognac as ever. In this atmosphere, nobody wants to do it, so I can't help it.
Speaking of Phee, he was snuggling around eating sandwiches with the atmosphere and other winds that blow around him.
"... don't eat forever."
Although Cognac hits me with evil emotions on one end or another.
"Yes."
Fee replies with a sloppy face, swallowing the remaining sandwich with cheeky soup at once and responding honestly.
Conversely, Laemier, who has nothing to do with anything, has a bluer face for poor air.
"Shit, then we're going. I've checked the route, just follow me."
That said, Cognac walked forward. Everyone follows, but there were no particular instructions from Cognac, and because of the mix of troops that were divided into two, the rows of the boys were variant.
Still, we all follow in silence.
"Ugh, that's awkward..."
Directly, only Laemier, who was not supposed to be involved in the disturbance, leaked a whispering cry in tears.
The boys looked around, if they didn't see the contents, and they ended peacefully and safely.
I only visit about three villages. Maybe it's harder for you to get some trouble.
Cognac had always treated Fee with an outspoken attitude, but this was also not a problem because Fee was flushing it.
When I returned to the fort, the soldiers were assembling outside the castle.
"Looks like you're safe around here."
The captain of the unit found what the Fees looked like and called out.
"Yes."
When the fies return an honest reply, the troop leader laughs and points with his right hand at the soldiers assembled in front of the fort.
"We're right here. I'm so excited to hear it's a festival."
Indeed, the expression on the faces of the soldiers gathering felt like they were all groaning. Even as adults, festivals are something to look forward to.
Of course I'm looking forward to the Fees.
"You guys are going too, aren't you? I'll take you with me."
"Yes!"
Apparently, they even follow me to a village with a festival.
To the thankful offer, the Fees nod vigorously, following behind the Force Leader.
On the road to the village, a group of soldiers seemed sparse, whether they had already left.
"Are we all going to the festival?
Asked the troop leader a question.
"Leaving soldiers in the fort properly, but most guys don't go to the festival"
Then laugh.
"The ones who lost and stayed in the mess were depressed in the face of the end of the world. I can't drink."
So I laughed at her with zero sympathy. Totally a winner's laugh.
"In recent years, there have been no large-scale bandits in this region. I'm trying to make sure you enjoy the festival as much as possible. It's not a good idea to keep your mind shut all the time."
Turning to the voice from behind, there was Mr. Eckert, the soldier chief.
As far as the Fees are concerned, it may be the first time in a week to see each other. He still has a soft grin.
"I am grateful to the soldier chief for the instructions he gave me. Let's drink it down tonight!
"Ha, please be gentle."
Eckert laughs bitterly at the tense, stuffed squad leader.
Seeing that kind of interaction, while the Fees were looking forward to talking about the festival, they went to the village of interest.
Almost a good size village, the building had many wooden qualities, but it was beautiful, either for the festival or decorated with cloth and woodworking.
Behind the village, the pleasant voices of villagers, visiting travellers and soldiers echo. The bard seems to be here, too, and I hear a song put on the instrument.
The Fees are getting kind of excited too.
Breaking up with Eckert about greeting the village chief and following him to the troop chief, he reached a compartment with lots of barrels and cups.
There is a unique aroma around. I can tell by the smell. Alcohol.
The troop leader told the fies to look back.
"Ha ha, this is a place for adults. You can't drink."
"Heh..."
"I know..."
To the slightly flourishing apprentice knights, the troop leader pointed in the direction of his right hand.
"Your place is that way. You're free to take your food, and you have fruit juice."
Looking at the one the troop leader pointed to, there was a lot of delicious looking food and juice on the wooden table placed outdoors.
"Wow!"
The apprentice knights rush out first.
Fee also gets a plate for the villagers and takes the food.
Carry something like a pumpkin stew into your mouth first.
"Yeah, yummy!
Grilled birds with black pepper, eggs with mountain vegetables, and pork bowels.
Fee eats each dish more and more for the plate.
That's how apprentice knights, enjoying a delicious meal, girls about the same age talked to each other.
"Are you apprentice knights true?
"Ugh, yeah."
When Hazel, who was nearby by chance, nods bewildered, a yellow scream is all the rage.
"I'm a knight for the first time!
"Hey, did you fight the bad guys or something?
"I'm not a knight yet, I'm an apprentice... so just follow seniors like that..."
"Wow!
Some apprentice knights are surrounded by girls.
They were all excellent looking though. After all, a knight is a longing for a girl.
"Are you an apprentice knight, too?
"Could there be foreign blood in it?
"Or cool ~"
Couinu, who was next to Phee, is also surrounded by the women of the village right away.
Or the most popular.
Couinu stands out because he has an exotic face. Not only that, but it's really beautiful, so I think it's popular, too.
"Uh... Oh, hi, Heath..."
Fee dropped off the sheepmeat skewers as they were baffled and swallowed by a group of women.
"Damn it! I'm so jealous! I wish I were a beauty..."
Fee doesn't think he looks that bad, but because of the normal aura he's unleashing, Slad wandered to be taken in by the girls.
"If I was 30 centimeters taller too, I'd think I could beat Raimier."
Fee also looks at Raimier, who is surrounded by the girls and called "cute," as she crunches the dish.
For some reason, against Laemier, he was a fie with pointless confidence in beating him on the masculine side.
The festival started, and a long time went by.
The adults are perfectly up already, single-handedly with alcohol jocks, irrespective of the villager soldiers, fussing.
In the centre of the village a great fire is cooked, and on the music played by the bard, a pair of men and women dance.
Some of them were village girls and apprentice knights.
Full of hunger, Phee looks at such a sight in an unpopular quiet place.
"Looks like everyone's having fun"
Fee had fun too. The hustle and bustle of the festival, heard from a little further away, warms my heart with wonder.
"I'm sure if I had stayed in the rear palace, I wouldn't have even known this kind of fun"
Fee squeaked smudgingly as she watched the lights of the festival.
There was just a footstep in Fee's ear coming this way.
When I see it, Cooinu comes running this way, looking all the way behind him. It's like someone's after me. I probably haven't noticed anything about Fee.
"What's wrong, Couinu? I ran so much."
"Wow, Heath. Why are you here?"
Speaking up, he could tell, he didn't notice this one. Couinu looked surprised.
Couinu had better clothes than when he broke up at the festival. Well, I can largely imagine the circumstances that have run this way.
"I'm taking a break. What's wrong with the cooinu? Because I was a hottie as a promising beauty apprentice knight in the future, don't you have to dance with a girl?
Fee makes fun of Cooinu with a slightly messy grin.
So Cooinu also understood that Phee was wondering what was going on. I'm a little upset.
"Nothing good. I don't want to have it for the girls... and I'm not interested in dancing..."
"Hmm, wow."
I think Couinu is changing.
I thought boys of these ages were what I wanted for girls. I mean, he actually wants to see it right around the corner.
Even the cooinu must have fled because the girl killed her application for the dance, but she thought she was happy with what she had.
But Couinu, who gave Fee's tease a really shiny look, didn't seem to think so.
In the end, Fee doesn't know with what idea Couinu came to such a conclusion. Even friends and family can't understand everything they think.
Fee approaches Couinu and takes that hand.
"Well, it's my fault, and you want to dance with me?
"What..."
Couinu gives a surprised look.
Fee nearly smiled at such a cooinu to reassure him.
"It's okay. Even if it looks like this, I remember the steps."
When I was in Dayman, I was forced to wear it in bridesmaid training. I've never used it because I never had a chance to dance with anyone, but I think it was surprisingly well done in practice.
Fee begins to take steps for girls to match the music he hears so far when he gives a token to the confused cooinu.
"Wow..."
Couinu looked surprised at first, but even though it was dull, he began steps for men in conjunction with it. After all, he was the son of a nobleman, so he was learning to dance himself.
"You're pretty good at cooinu, too."
It's surprisingly fun to try, and Fee lets you go around, lean on, and make all sorts of dance moves you've learned, holding Cooinu's hand.
Couinu was gushing sometimes, but he also supported Fee.
The girls who were looking for Couinu also bothered to do so, and Phee and Couinu went on to dance for a while alone.
As the moonlight illuminates, he sees Phee dancing happily as he takes Couinu's hand, and Couinu thinks.
(This is a dance step for nobility...)
What Heath was trying to make her dance was a dance of formal manipulations like those learned by aristocratic girls and ladies. It's not like the seemingly imitative dance that the girls in this village are doing.
Couinu was also told by his guardian that, for a time, he had learned to dance by a proper teacher. So while it lit up, it was properly matched by Heath's movements.
Thinking of it that way, Heath, as a nobleman or something, would have been instructed to dance by a formal teacher.
Heath herself says she's from the poor, but that's strange.
(Who the hell is this girl...)
While illuminated by the white light of the moon, Couinu thought, watching a strange girl try to dance properly for her lady.
(I want to know more about Heath...)
Couinu just didn't know why he could dance aristocratic, why he was dressed as a man and doing an apprenticeship knight or something, where the hell he was born and how he lived.
Outside the village, Cognac was cooking alone.
"Damn... it doesn't work..."
From that mouth, there was stupidity and words leaked.
"What's wrong with you? I don't think he's enjoying the festival."
It was John who had spoken to such a cognac.
"Mr. John......"
Honestly, Cognac was flirting with John. Among the soldiers we were looking around together, it was a low-profile treatment, and in fact, from the point of view of the apprentice knights, they were weak and unreliable.
Still, I think it might be better for someone like that to hear about stupidity.
"Lately, it hasn't worked... I became a leader because of this, but there was one who wouldn't listen. So some of the guys around me feel like I'm not worthy of a leader... I've been listening to what I've been saying, even the ones in the south quarters are getting approximate..."
"Oh well..."
John nodded when he heard Cognac's stupidity. And say.
"It's okay. Starting tomorrow, just the apprentice knights, they'll start looking around. If you succeed, I'm sure all the apprentice knights will realize that you are worthy of a leader, Cognac."
"That may be..."
"It's the beginning of everything. When you succeed at the beginning, it all works, and when you fail, it's easy to fail it all. That's why you make the first look absolutely successful. That'll make sure everyone's trust returns."
"So, but I'm not sure..."
Until now, I have managed to defeat them with that hand and have done so as a leader by keeping them under my umbrella.
Cognac's confidence had been lost due to the advent of an opponent that didn't make sense, and was spilled the other way around.
Laughing to cheer up such a cognac, John took the map out of its pocket and showed it.
"Then join me now to confirm tomorrow's lookout route. If you put it all in your head, you shouldn't have made a mistake. I'm gonna hang out with you till you're confident."
"Mr. John......"
Cognac's eyes moisturize. Cognac regretted that he was licking John inside.
I was under the impression that you were a little unreliable, but you're a kind and kind person.
"Cognac, I'm going to teach you the most important trick in this job."
"Important?
"Yeah."
John nodded deeply, looking straight into Cognac's eyes.
Believing in the villagers.
"Believe..."
John smiles at Cognac reciting the word.
"You're right, you don't believe in the people to protect. Knights and soldiers don't serve."
