Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

[03]

"Don't talk about everything in the past. Look at your face and decide."

I'm currently interviewing a knight garrison. This is the first line of my opening.

"Take a look, you"

The Centurion of the Knights of the Elysian Expedition smiles upon seeing me. Is that so too? I was wearing a helmet.

Raise the visor and show your face.

“……………”

The centurion's face is distorted.

"What are those golden eyes and white hair?"

"I do not know"

"No, wait. Where did you pick up the armor?"

"I do not know"

This armor picked up by Melm is a common armor of the Elysium lineage. Dull white full plate. The slightly different things are the shoulder cloak that covers the left half of the body and the cloak that engraves the beast's face. In addition, the helmet is characteristic, and a beast that is unknown is designed.

Elysium knights do not wear helmets for some reason. What is unusual is not a helmet design but a helmet itself.

"I'll ask you one thing ... is that right?"

"?"

He said he never talks about the past.

I mean, the centurion is honorific to me.

"Are you not the name Dilbird?"

"I'm Ash"

Who is Dilbird? It's a name that makes me scary

"Is there no other survivor?"

"What?"

The centurion says even more weird.

What is survival?

"If it is not true that he is the attendant knight,"

The grunt and the centurion speak to themselves.

I heard that even if I paid, I could become a knight.

Will I fall?

When I leave the house, I say, "Work hard! ], But is it dropped in the interview?

"Oh, Ash. What's here?"

"I hope to join. I've also prepared the money to buy a rank."

Put the money borrowed by the snow breeze on the centurion table. The centurion's face became even more bitter.

"Play"

The money has been pushed back. I lower my visor and distort my face so that I can't see it.

"What if you refuse to join?"

"That's why I just came."

The centurion wrinkles the forehead and thinks. She looks young, but her hair is thin and her cheeks are skinny.

"What about it? I'm dissatisfied, but from the status of a ten-man."

"No, it's fine. I don't know what you're misunderstanding, but I'm a gorotsuki rolling around there. I want to be a knight. I want to be that. That money."

"U, muuu"

I'm really worried.

Do you really misunderstand me dill somehow? Who are you? Speaking of which, Melm also misunderstood as someone and came to me.

There must be a relationship.

"The commercial district near the main gate is where the evil merchants gather for Elysium. Even though the Knights may be widespread, they are hiring adventurers to drive them away. "A fresh knight" is something you can't compete with. It's definitely a place where you want to enter the Central Shokai, but the obstruction is insidious and intense. "

"It's simple."

It should be crushed with more power.

The expeditionary knights are army, albeit bulky in Gorotsuki. There is a force that can be easily crushed by hired adventurers.

"Minute shortage of manpower. The Beastman Alliance has captured the leader, but has no grip.

Half lie, half true.

"What about you? Would you like me to put it in front of Ash?-With that achievement, you'll love the Centurion, or even the leaders of the Expeditionary Knights."

I suddenly talked.

This man misunderstands me as someone but doesn't believe somewhere. I'm trying.

The purpose was to get inside the Knights, but is this a ship for migration? Or is the beast open its mouth?

Either way, there's no reason to get lost.

"I see. I'll put it in front of me."

"Before the hero, I will study."

Hey hero.

It's not a bad idea.

Main street of Lemuria commercial district.

It is as vibrant today as it is cold and snow. The harsh environment seems to lose to human heat.

The knights' garrison in this district was once a state-run bar.

The owner is a relative of King Lemuria, who was seized by the Expeditionary Knights of Elysium to compensate for King Lemuria's assault.

But well, it's rough.

The windows are more than half broken and the walls have holes in some places. The corner of the roof was sinking, probably because I removed the snow. There is a lot of garbage and snow around it.

I was able to understand the treatment of this garrison that I had left this storm.

The rest is content, but it doesn't matter.

Kick open the front entrance and rush.

The inside is wide like a bar. Like a bar tavern, a knight was enthusiastic about drinking and gambling.

"Who is it?"

The man who fell from the chair shouts. Nine knights are in sight.

"Who is the person in charge? There must be ten heads."

"Oh? The ten elders are out. You can't buy a woman outside. What's a teme?"

"From today, I will work for this garrison."

"I'm a newcomer. So, buy me a bottle of sake ..."

It's noisy.

"I'll do your" bundle "from today"

"What?"

The thugs are terrified by the breathy breath. It was hard to laugh.

"Well, a newcomer is trying to divide, is he great? Knight, we are."

What's great about a knight?

"Well, before I became a knight, I was a well-known sinner. I killed, stealed, and squandered. ? "

I put the sword in the sheath.

He grabbed the object and returned it to the man.

"Take it to a healer, and if you can stop bleeding and arrive early, you may be connected."

The man does not yet understand his head.

He looks at the cut arm and the cut surface alternately, and screams at the beat of blood.

"Hi, hi"

He rolled out of the garrison.

"Oh oh!"

Somehow applause happened.

"No, it's a brilliant sword. He's just a mouth. He's a guy who smoked from everyone here.

The next man comes in rubbing sesame.

"Well, what's the name of the knight?"

"Ash"

"Are you Ash, the new tenman?"

"No. You're the same flat knight."

"... Well, what does that mean?"

This man is specially slow.

The guys in the back have already pulled their swords.

"Did you say I'd do your bunch? First of all, all, throw away your armor, weapons and [place] and go outside with only your body and life."

"Hey, hey, what if I didn't follow it?"

It looks like a stupid man finally understood.

"I'll kill you"

"Um"

There are 9 armor sets, 29 long swords, 35 shields, and nearly 50 spears. At a glance, this is where it looks like it will sell.

A lot of chairs, tables and rolled tableware are the remnants of a bar. These items are expensive if you have them, but cheap if you sell them. It may be useful for something, or left alone.

Later, he fished properly in the garrison and turned over the ten-person private room on the second floor and the knights' private room.

There are no savings with the knights of Gorotsuki. Even the elder do not have much. No, not too much. In the vicinity with the insight,

"What is this !?"

A loud noise was heard below. Apparently, the ten heads have returned home.

"Oh, sorry."

When I get down and say hello,

"Who are you?!"

Excited and drew his sword. Well, do you be wary if you have bloody traces everywhere?

"Ash who works here from today.

"Nah, ho, where did the other knights go?"

"If they did, they left with armor and [rank]. They never came back."

All of them hurt to the extent of a half-murder and threw them out.

If you have the heart of returning, you are not rotten here. And they all borrow money from the Chuo Shokai. I don't know what it's going to do, but it's probably already running out of town.

Lemuria is not so sweet now that nothing can live without it.

"Never again ?! What's the reason?"

"I can't use it, so I throw it away"

"Isn't that ridiculous ?! Report now!"

"I found a deed from your room."

Spread the documents on the floor. It is a proof of debt from Chuo Shokai.

"This garrison is strangely well equipped for its scale and human resources."

"It's obvious. This is a front line base and also stores goods!"

It's funny that those guys are protecting it. The story of lack of human resources may be true.

stop.

"I'm not enough. The number of weapons applied above and the number of stored weapons."

“……………”

The face of the tenman solidifies. The hand holding the sword also solidifies.

"Is it going to cover up debts?"

"Wait, this is what everyone is doing. It's the Chuo Shokai that brought it!"

"That's okay."

"What?"

The ten-year-old smiles at me as she pulls down easily.

"I didn't come to expose your injustice."

"So what?"

"If you do it, you can do it better. You can earn money at once and run away at night without having to do it with a flicker. Just nine members have disappeared. It is not strange if you disappear."

"I mean?"

Point outside the garrison.

"I put together what I could sell in a carriage and take it to Hiiki's firm."

"Is it good?"

"Good, but never approach Lemuria again."

…………… No, it was good. Honestly, kings and beastmen could n’t do it at low wages, but I knew that the knights did n’t suit their sex. I'll cultivate and live in the fields.

The ten headed out with a laugh.

The sound of the outside carriage moving and leaving. Listen carefully, but hear nothing else.

Pick up a rolled chair and sit down.

Looking at the garrison where nobody except me was gone, one thought.

"Good. It's here."
