Kuro no Senki (LN)

Continue down the street with a horse.

The sun is directly above it, and the village, which it defines as the resting point, lies ahead.

Taking an extraordinary break here is also a hand......,

"Isn't it time for something to take a break?

……

Looking next door silently, Count Rio Cairon was smiling.

It's not an order as a nobleman, it's just a suggestion.

The final decision rests with Leila.

"Okay. I'll take a little break here."

Is Count Rio Cairon interested in me? and went down from the horse remembering his (...) behavior.

Ten men... seven light cavalry, three bow cavalry... took a leather bag and included warm (wet) water in his mouth.

Unlike Kane and Faye, Leila is in charge of a narrow range around Hashel.

It was Kane who determined the scope, and I have no objection to that decision.

"Did you have fun with Chrono last night?

"Yeah, I got your favor."

Count Rio Cairon descended from his horse and walked over to Leila.

"You don't have to be so vigilant. I'm interested in you, but it's the same Chrono mistress."

"So, you said you even followed me to security?

"Oh, yeah."

Count Rio Cairon nodded with a playful trick.

"But I don't know what to tell you. In the end, all we have in common is that we love the same person."

"I also think it's common to be on a weapon or horse that you're good at?

Count Rio Cairon opened his eyes to surprise and laughed like a child.

"Hahaha, maybe we have more in common than I think. Well, this is my advice as someone who leads his men in the same way, but you better get to know yourself and your men."

"Are you going to grasp it?

That's why I was thinking about taking a break in the village ahead.

"I guess so. But your job is to guard the streets. You may have a fight, but you can't allocate the pace without leaving room."

"... may be so"

Apparently the title of Commander of the Kingsguard Knights is not Dada.

"Have you noticed anything else?

"To tell you the truth, my advice now is to sell it to a deputy. My deputy is an old type of knight, but my experience is not insulting. Nevertheless, because we are experiencing it, we may not be able to respond flexibly, so that would be an addition or a subtraction."

Leila nodded small. Teacher Weissman's lecture is left on paper, so if you read the contents carefully, you might find another discovery.

"... so did you have fun with Chrono?

"I thought you answered?

Yeah, yeah, and Count Rio Cairon nodded many times.

"'I got your love' is not the answer. What I wanted to ask you was if you enjoyed it."

……

Leila doesn't answer.

I did get pleasure, and I was filled spiritually, but even when I say mistress to mistress, Count Rio Cairon is a man.

"Don't stare at me so scared."

"I'm not staring."

Count Rio Cairon raised his hands not only to say surrender.

"Don't you have anything to ask me? For example... aren't you interested in how Chrono will love me?

"No, especially"

Leila replied without absurding her voice.

It was Leila herself who told Krono that she didn't mind being one of her mistresses.

I have a desire for exclusivity, but I have a different identity in the first place.

Even though they come from different worlds, Chrono is noble in this world.

It is also a nobleman with two titles and territory.

In the future he will inherit Baron Crawford territory and will have three titles and territories.

Leila is a half-elf from Slam.

There is a life that is not supposed to be met, and Leila is beside Chrono as a mistress.

It is also highly educated, comparable to the nobility.

Even if I can no longer handle bows, I can choose a different way of life if I am now.

As Nicola from the Pics Chamber of Commerce said, Chrono gave us the possibility.

Maybe arrogant, but Leila exhaled quietly.

I want to get rid of Chrono's misery at all.

If that doesn't happen, I want you to forget it for a while.

View Count FujiRio Cairon.

"What?

"Master Chrono told me Count Cairon wrote me a letter of recommendation."

Count Rio Cairon put his arms together and tilted his neck slightly.

I'm not thankful enough.

"Still...... thank you"

You're not used to being thanked, Count Rio Cairon grinned.

"... give me the light"

In response to a whisper, light illuminates a magic item mounted near the ceiling, illuminating Leila's room.

Magic items for lighting are Leila's personal belongings.

I was quite lost when I bought it, but now I think it would be nice to buy it.

The white light feels cold, but it doesn't smell like beast fat, and coal doesn't come out.

I have to review the lecture, but Layla fell into bed with her notebook in her arms.

With other people's eyes and night games, I can be distracted, but without both, it's hard to stay distracted.

After a day of work and a cadet education, it's all the more so.

"... back then"

Leila narrowed her eyes and stroked her white sheet.

"" Layla, are you coming in?

"Please knock about it"

Layla slammed into Deneb and Aridead, who were already in the room.

"We're friends with Leila."

"Yeah, well, we've been friends since we were assigned."

"I think you need courtesy, even when you're close."

Leila woke up and stared at Deneb and Aridead.

"What can I do for you?

"Mm-hmm. I don't need it."

"I'm free, think Dabe"

Even though he had not replied, Deneb and Aridead brought in chairs and kettles and knobs from the hallway.

Apparently, he's going to have a liquor platter in this room.

"What did Leila have in mind?

"... back then, I heard voices."

Phew, and Layla exhaled.

"I remember when I was assigned."

"Oh, back then"

"You kept it well with two meals a day, we"

Deneb and Aridead put their arms together and nodded again and again.

"Soup like water and hard bread were classic menus, weren't they? I just feel like I got it with meat like muscle in it."

"Now it's a soup with gobbles of meat and vegetables, and the bread is tender. What do you care? I'm glad the fish joined the menu."

Deneb and Aridead poured a clear liquid from the kettle into the cup from yet another kettle.

"What is it, is it?

"Hehe, the alcohol we extracted into the tunnel and"

"Dry Fruit Juice Returned with Water"

Leila included the liquor-like objects handed to her in her dreaded mouth.

The acidity and slight sweetness irritate the tongue.

Deneb and Aridead pounded the cup and lavishly stirred the liquor.

"With that said, in the war against the Kingdom of Holy Argo. Oh, not last year, this year, this year."

"I saw some guys from another squad who were thin or poorly haired."

"I think we were similar last year."

Layla stared alternately at Deneb and Aridead.

Last year...... I am not confident in the continuity of my memory because of the dramatic change in treatment.

It feels like the old days when only a year and a half ago happened.

As far as I can remember, Deneb and Aridead a year and a half ago...... Leila herself was thin.

"You said it was tight around your chest and butt."

Pick your collar and peek into your chunky chest compared to a year and a half ago.

"How was Leila?

"... me too, somewhat"

The first thing I noticed was Master Chrono, Leila added in her mind.

That wouldn't have figured out what Chrono would have thought and wanted to touch his chest and ass if he hadn't talked to Deneb or Aridead either.

"Somewhat, somewhat"

"You're no match for a general or princess when you say you've grown up."

Deneb and Aridead laughed Kerakera.

If the food situation improves enough to keep up with the size of the Queen and Empress Tilia, that's a better threat.

That's how big the breasts of the Queen and Empress Tyria are.

Two of Chrono's mistresses are at the top, and after third place they are greatly separated.

After third place...... Leila, Faye, Deneb and Aridead form a second population, forming lower populations in Elena, Rio and Sue.

However, considering Count Rio Cairon is the man and there is room for Sue to grow, I have to say Elena is overwhelmingly the bottom line.

Leila carried the cup to her mouth.

A gift of research, or the liquor made by Deneb and Aridead, is easy to drink.

"Speaking of the general..."

"You're not very aggressive."

The general always takes a step back at meetings that determine the number and order of night games.

Because I feel sorry for my late husband, maybe.

If that's a one-step attitude, so is Deneb and Aridead.

You noticed the gaze, Deneb and Aridead looked at each other.

"We... no, I like Master Chrono."

"Boo-hoo, I think it's okay if I'm alone with Mr. Krono."

According to Chrono standards, it's Aridead who's on track, and Deneb who's just a little thoughtful.

Aridead, for example, was the one who spoke first, and Deneb would be the one who followed.

dating since the assignment, but Layla can't tell the two of them apart.

There are places where Deneb and Aridead don't let others (one) step in because they seem mild.

"Ugh, traitor!

"... and I haven't betrayed you"

As Aridead rode himself out and shouted, Deneb said with his lips pointed in dissatisfaction.

"I feel like I've never seen Deneb and Aridead get along."

"When it's just the two of us, we fight."

"We may also have troublesome circumstances."

Deneb and Aridead poured booze into the cup.

"We were born in a settlement near the border, well, later, as you can guess."

"In that place, in the sight of each other, pretending to be each other... it doesn't make any difference"

I guess it got a little easier, Deneb and Aridead dropped their gaze on the cup.

I guess Aridead came to tell me that Deneb pretended that he wasn't the one who got the worst of it by pretending to be Aridead.

"That's the way it is now. Master Chrono is horny."

"Right. Man, I get on with it... but Master Chrono's, that unbraced silliness is like talent"

This is the first time I've heard of Deneb and Aridead's experience, but I don't seem to get along with many decent men.

"Leila wasn't... anywhere but Master Chrono?

"Oh, because it means lover."

"No, sir."

When Layla responded instantly, Deneb and Aridead stirred up the liquor with a subtle look on their face.

"Ugh, it lacks exuberance."

"Now it seems that we can't celebrate one of these things with love stories because we're also very friendly to Krono."

Deneb and Aridead chewed up the burr and solidified bread.

"And talk about work?

"We were always the same, but what about Leila?

"Count Cairon pointed me out to get a grip on myself and my men."

"" Mmm, unexpected ""

Deneb and Aridead said with their mouths together.

"And as you will often hear about the ancient soldiers,"

I guess this didn't fit with our own imaginary statue of Count Rio Cairon either.

Deneb and Aridead roared to think.

"Surprisingly, though."

"Knowledge and experience of ancient soldiers seem important."

"So I'm thinking about rereading my notebook"

Layla stared at the notebook on the bed.

"Oh, Leila makes me like to study"

"Yeah, I miss you when you were scratching crying like you couldn't get your favor from Master Chrono."

"That's... because I couldn't understand Lord Chrono's love"

Hehe, and Deneb and Aridead laughed.

On the day of the episcopal ceremony...... upon entering the doorway of the Marquis residence, Chrono was waiting in military uniform.

No, Chrono wasn't the only one waiting.

Empress Tilia, Faye, Count Rio Cairon and Viscount Brad Hamal stand to consolidate Chrono's left and right.

Why am I here? With that look on his face, Kane also stands a little further away.

"It's late. Dear Chrono... What about those clothes?

"I became the 13th Kingsguard Knights Commander."

Chrono is woven with a worn cloak, and the military uniform he wears underneath is more elaborate in design than Leila remembers.

"" I made it!

When I looked behind me, Deneb and Aridead were about to rush in.

"" Ugh! Master Chrono is wearing new clothes!

"Yeah, I became the leader of the 13th Kingsguard Knights."

Deneb and Aridead approached Krono and stared at Ji's uniform.

"" Kingsguard knights are like you heard of white military uniforms?

Deneb and Aridead stared at Count Rio Cairon and Viscount Brad Hamal and returned their gaze to Chrono.

"" Harassment?

"Yeah, I feel like I do, too."

Chrono had a cramped grin.

"As, well, that's why, like Master Chrono?

"Black suits you better, Master Chrono."

"Admiral, I'm late."

For a moment, the sun is blocked by the big shadow.

'... Admiral, what about those clothes?' (Bubba?

"No! It's forbidden to remain black even though you're the Kingsguard Knights Commander!

"Master Chrono is being harassed and hurt!

Deneb and Aridead dived into Minot.

Although it is Deneb and Alidead who are rubbing salt into the wound.

"It must have been late."

"We're here."

"Best of all, it's the last time."

Tyga, Shilo, Hylo...... Goldie arrived at the end and the door was closed.

"Well, shall we begin? Everybody, lay down in a row there."

Leila and the others lined up in a row where Chrono pointed.

"Faye, darkness."

"God, please"

Prayer stretches Faye's shadow.

No, denser than a shadow. That's darkness.

The darkness overflowed from under Faye's feet and quickly wrapped the entire hall.

"... Tilia"

"Just like the meeting, right? Light."

Light is born with the voice of Empress Tilia.

It's Chrono that the light illuminates.

"First, from Mr. Minot"

"Hee, hee"

The light stretches. Light created a narrow path from Chrono to Minot.

Following that path, Minot knelt under Chrono's feet.

Ritual, this is a ritual.

"In May of the Empire Calendar, four hundred and thirty, he assisted the commander northwest of Hachel, Marquis of Elakis, to prevent the invasion of the Holy Argo kingdom. In January of Empire Calendar 431, he assisted the commander in the Kingdom of Holy Argo, killing a large number of enemy soldiers and, upon retreat, leading a separate task force, which prevented the pursuit of enemy forces. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

Upon receiving parchment from Viscount Eryl Sardomerik, who at some point refrained, Chrono offered it to Minot.

"Oh, thank you, be happy" (Bukuya ~)

When Minot received parchment and returned to his original position, the path of light was interrupted and a new path was born between Chrono and Goldie.

Thus Goldie approached Chrono and knelt under his feet.

"In May of the Empire Calendar, four hundred and thirty, he stopped the invasion of the Holy Argo Royal Army northwest of Hashel, Marquis of Elakis. He then moved the battlefield into a workshop, indirectly defending the lives of many Imperial soldiers and killing many enemy soldiers. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

"I will provide you with more, better weapons and armor."

Goldie received the parchment in tears and returned to her original position.

"... Shiro"

but! and Shiro barks.

Silent, but he's shaking his tail with a patter, so I guess he's happy.

"In May of the Empire Calendar, four hundred and thirty, he stopped the invasion of the Holy Argo Royal Army northwest of Hashel, Marquis of Elakis. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

He shook his tail at all the thousand cuts, and Shilo received parchment.

"... Hyiro"

Silently, Hyiro walks over to Chrono.

Again, I'm shaking my tail with patties, so I guess I'm happy.

"In May of the Empire Calendar, four hundred and thirty, he stopped the invasion of the Holy Argo Royal Army northwest of Hashel, Marquis of Elakis. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

Hylo stared at Chrono and received parchment.

"Taiga"

……

Tyga approached Chrono in a squeaky motion and knelt under his feet.

"In May of the Empire Calendar four hundred and thirty, northwest of Hachel, Marquis of Elakis, he prevented the invasion of the Kingdom of Holy Argo. In January of Empire Calendar 431, he killed a large number of enemy soldiers in the Kingdom of Holy Argo, and led a separate task force when he withdrew, preventing the pursuit of enemy troops. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

The moment I received the parchment, Tiga's drooling tail stretched pins.

"We will continue to do our best to meet our expectations."

Tiga proudly stretched her chest and returned to her original position.

"Deneb, Aridead"

"" Yes, we were called together!

"In May of Empire Calendar 430, he dived through enemy forces' onslaught northwest of Hachel, Marquis of Elakis, killing soldiers defending enemy commanders, killing numerous enemy soldiers in the Kingdom of Holy Argo in January of Imperial Calendar 431, and inhibiting the pursuit of enemy troops when withdrawing. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

Deneb and Aridead received parchment from Chrono and broke his face.

"Keep it up, Knight Deneb"

"This way, Knight Aridead"

Deneb and Aridead face to face and exchange words.

Finally, the path of light tied Leila to Chrono.

Chrono seemed to be smiling.

Take a step with your trembling feet.

I remember when I was in the slum.

No, I really don't want to remember.

But step out.

Think of my dead mother.

Sell your body, break your body... think of my dead mother in a leaning shed.

Think of the days when you were trampled.

Think of the pain of being beaten, the pain of being forcefully offended, bonding with fellow slums.

Think of the fight.

I think of my dead companions, the ones who went to the battlefield with Chrono and didn't come back.

Think of Chrono.

I think of the day I visited Chrono's room with trembling, the day I was frightened when I was bound, without understanding the love of Chrono.

With the thoughts of all, Leila stands in front of Chrono.

"In May of Empire Calendar 430, he dived through enemy forces' onslaught northwest of Hashel, Marquis of Elakis, approaching enemy commanders and defeating enemy forces by causing them serious injuries. Acknowledging its merits and awarding it the title of jazz"

Layla received the parchment offered with a trembling hand.

Just a few lines... just a few, but the Empire recognized Leila.

The light goes out and a hole is created in the darkness.

A crack runs around the hole, and the darkness that was covering the entire hall can be solved.

The darkness is sucked into the shadow of Faye as he flickers like a sheet blown by a strong wind.

A few seconds later, Hall had regained his usual appearance as if what had happened before was a dream.
