Kuro no Senki (LN)

Tilia pokes her cheekstick in support of her elbow and listens to Johnny's report.

Though it holds the gist, the report is traceable.

I'm not educated as a soldier, so I can't help it.

It's not bad to raise him as a soldier if he can win this battle.

Of course, if he wants...

"... that's why my brother, not the Imperial Army, is creating a field position in a thick fog, sss. The priest of the Mother God, who made it loess and commanded abundance..."

"It's Theon."

"Yes, Mr. Scion. Mr. Theon built a trench with divine authority, and then he felt like he was reinforcing the trench, creating traps and obstacles."

"You're doing well."

Tilia shrugged small.

The rest is whether Baroness Nam Cornu's powers will remain until he finishes building the field position.

But I was optimistic about this.

She is the best divine magician in the empire.

In just two days, there should be no such thing as producing thick fog.

"... you bitch"

"A few sus?

"No, it's nothing. We're talking over here."

I'm glad Baroness Nam Cornu cooperated, but that's not out of good faith.

She thinks for herself.

I'm with the surrounding lords.

On top of that, the Imperial Army or the Imperial Army - we're even trying to figure out just which one wins.

That's why we only work together for two days.

As soon as the Imperial Army becomes disadvantaged, it must return the palm of its hand.

I can't deny the possibility of coming at me from behind.

Rather, that's likely.

We must even think about what the surrounding lords think, not just with the Imperial Army.

Not at all, I don't like it.

I guess Tilia's frustration passed on.

Johnny opens his mouth with a snack.

"Ah, Mr. Tsubaki?

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's all for the report."

"That's right. Oh, I forgot, ss. A gift from my brother. Shh."

When Johnny finished reporting, he put a crate on his desk.

Tilia turned her gaze to the crate as she sat on the chair.

You must have noticed your gaze.

Myra walked out quietly, holding back beside her.

"Let me check the contents just in case"

"You don't have to worry so much, you don't steal."

"I'm not worried about stealing it, but I thought you dropped it and broke it"

"Yes, no, you suck. Oh, you don't do that, do you?"

As Myra turned her gaze, Johnny turned away.

I am sweating even though I am cold enough at room temperature.

Not sweat for thermoregulation.

It's a sticky sweat of mental sweating.

"Why are you scratching sweat?

"Hey, why the suss? Wow, I don't know, sss."

"... Really?"

Myra told him to exhale and opened the crate.

Transparent sphere from inside - Remove the communication magic item and stare.

"You didn't break it, did you?"

"Yes, of course it is."

"So why are you sweating?

"Hey, why su. I don't even know what I'm talking about."

Johnny answered Myra's words as she moved her eyes busily.

"Stop already."

"Yes, ma'am."

Myra nodded quietly as Tilia rang.

"Also, can we go now, suss?

"Get some rest."

Roger that, Les.

Johnny gave a broken salute and returned his heel.

Keep going to the door...

"... Johnny"

"Hey, what's up?

As Tilia rang, Johnny looked back in a squeaky motion.

It's like a rusty hinge.

"Thanks again, please"

"Sure, sss. I'm your brother's brother, and I'm gonna be the best dagger in the empire."

Johnny laughed nicely.

I don't think he was sweating until earlier. Smile.

But...

"Don't forget to be my disciple"

"And, of course, it's ssss. I'm the master's apprentice, Ess."

When Myra told him to include it, Johnny started sweating again.

"How hard I've had to raise you."

"Or, thank you, sss."

Johnny is shuddering.

This would also be spiritual.

Between the two of them - no, what kind of education was given?

I care, but I shouldn't step in here.

I feel that way.

Instead, look no further.

Myra then exhaled small and closed her eyes.

I open my eyes again after a while.

"Get some rest."

"Well, here I am, hehe."

Johnny laughed affectionately and left the cabin.

Phew, and Tilia exhaled, leaning against her back.

And look up to heaven.

Besides, all I see is beams and ceilings...

"... good job"

"It's not as hard as it gets."

Anyway, I just sat in the chair and listened to the report.

Plus, I'm feeling better.

That's as it is...

Point your gaze at Myra.

"Something?

"I was just wondering what you did to Johnny"

"I just educated you?

"Is that all you're gonna do?

Tilia asked, remembering how Johnny was doing.

Mental sweating, body tremors - he was frightened like a small animal.

"My heart must have been weak. Damn, the younger ones these days..."

"You sound uncomfortable."

Regardless of her real age, she's an old beauty on the outside.

"Praise be to you, I know the greatest of pleasures."

"Yeah, well, yeah..."

Tilia pushed silently.

I wish I could have twisted out my thoughtful words, but I couldn't think of anything.

I feel like irony doesn't make sense even if I think of it.

Is this the work of the year?

No, is it just thick skin on the face?

"I'm sure Johnny..."

Tilia corrects her residence thinking it was still going on.

Somehow, I thought we should.

"You must have seen the darkness in yourself."

"I think he was obviously scared of you?

"Just kidding."

"I mean it."

……

Tyria said back, Myra pushed back.

"I can't even do it. Because your wife is young."

"Is it a matter of age?"

"Yes, it's a matter of age"

"Right."

I have no choice but to be assured.

Tilia sighed small, poking her cheek wand in support of her elbow hanging.

Point your gaze at the crate.

Then Myra offered me a communication magic item.

"Go ahead."

I'm sorry.

Tilia received a communication magic item and narrowed her eyes.

No scratches, no cracks.

Again, it looks like Myra was the reason Johnny was scratching the sweat.

"Now we can work together."

Separate teams are lurking in a thousand - divided into twenty groups.

I can't work together properly without a communication magic item.

"Great magic item"

"I thought you guys would have this much?

"It's hard to keep the numbers together."

"... Indeed"

Tilia rolled a communication magic item in her hand.

Magic items are basically expensive.

If the purpose is as special as a communication magic item, it is even more so.

I guess Chrono, who held Eryl in that sense, had a foresight.

Of course, I don't think I assumed the current situation...

"Whatever, now we can build a communications network"

……

Whimpering in sighs, Myra didn't say anything.

Is something wrong?

Suspicious, look at his face.

Then he had the look on his face like he said something.

I wonder what you're trying to say.

I care, but I was hesitant to ask why.

Wouldn't you say something that isn't even Loc?

I have such a hunch.

You must have noticed your gaze.

Myra looks here.

Tilia turned away in panic.

I felt the wind.

It is not a gap wind.

Myra's behind it to the right, she must be moving to the left.

Do you want me to ask you so much why?

Exhale a deep sigh and gaze at Myra.

"... what?

"Boy - I thought you didn't have to communicate with Master Chrono."

"I've thought about that too, but not enough"

Tilia responded to the sigh.

There is about half a day's distance from here to the Imperial Army field position.

There are not enough communication magic items to stretch the communication network that far.

And we need to keep it confidential.

"If they find out your wife's here, it's a bad idea."

"That's what I'm talking about"

Only a limited number of people know Tilia is here.

Officers, starting with Chrono, Minot and Leila - the rest are the old knights around.

"Now, let's continue with Johnny as our scout and preacher."

I'm sorry.

"No, because I'm not the one who struggles"

"Don't you have feelings?"

"I have feelings, but not for Johnny"

Myra said all the time.

"There was a terrible master, too."

"Because I'm a pushing apprentice. And..."

"And?"

"Be gentle and get on the diagram"

Myra told him to exhale as Tilia groaned at the parrot.

"Hmm, you're disciplining yourself as a master"

"No, not at all"

"... you're really not in the mood"

Perhaps Myra raised Johnny thinking she could die.

"In fact, how strong is Johnny?

"I thought it might be one of the best daggers in the world, even if it included the surrounding countries."

"Ho, that's amazing"

Tilia raised an exclamation.

"Well, if you don't get on the diagram..."

"Is it that bad"

"Yeah, I just praised it a little bit and it's filled with gaps"

"You need mental training."

"Yes, you're right"

Myra sighed small.

"By the way, who are your feelings for?

"Master Chrono?

……

Myra said off as she deserved, and Tilia shut her mouth.

"Who is your love for?

"It's Master Chrono."

I ask again, the answer was the same.

"Think of your age"

"I'm an elf, so I was wondering if there was a problem."

Myra said all the time.

"Where are you in love with Chrono?

"At least you'll be royalty."

"You're not in love!

Tilia roughed up her voice, but where's Myra blowing the wind?

"... ma'am"

"What?"

"Don't you think status and merit are also attractive to men?

"I don't."

……

When Tilia responded instantly, Myra looked like even a bitter bug chewed up.

"Well, because your wife is young. By the way, where did your wife find Lady Chrono attractive?

"Where..."

Tilia shrugged and asked herself where she was attracted.

Naturally, but I find my status unattractive.

I've never been more than worthy, but not if I find it appealing there.

In the first place...

"It feels like I was in love when I realized it. What's that face?

"No, it's nothing"

Myra turned away, but Tilia didn't miss the look on her face like she chewed up a bitter bug.

"If you have something to say, say it"

"The sweet and sour dialogue was bitter, and the dark stuff came in."

"Say that much!

"Because I told you to tell me if you wanted to."

Kuh, Tilia groaned.

I want to say it back, but the words don't come out.

At that time...

This is Kane. Is anybody listening?

"- Huh!"

Suddenly, voices echoed from communication magic items.

It was so sudden that I almost dropped it.

Take a deep breath and bring the communication magic item to your mouth.

"It's Tiria."

"Oh, the princess? I'm glad you know him. '

"So, what happened?

"That's..."

"You lost your way?

"... I don't know where it meets."

Was it embarrassing, Kane answered in between.

If you say you have no choice, you have no choice.

He is not familiar with the geography around the capital.

Instead, you should appreciate that you've been able to get this far.

"Okay. I'll have him picked up immediately."

"Sorry about that."

"Never mind."

When Tilia glanced at him, Myra greeted him with a compliment.

When Kane finished his correspondence, Ancient Ginseng's men - Saab - pulled over a horse.

The appearance of wearing eyelids and beardless beards is bandit.

I don't have any front teeth, so I can see it falling apart when I laugh.

He/she understands that too, and when dealing with someone he/she is not close to, he/she strips out his/her teeth and laughs.

This relieves most opponents of their vigilance.

Saab customer service.

"How was your head?

"Oh, he said he'd pick you up soon."

"Good for him."

Saab stripped his teeth out and laughed.

"Even you?

"Well, already!

Saab nodded aloud.

"Master Krono's place is, well, blessed. It'll take a while to get your senses back. How's your head? Don't be blunt in your deputy life, okay?

"As you can see, I was ready to fight anytime."

"That's your head."

Ha ha, Saab laughed.

The ancient ginseng men laugh, the bow cavalry, the newcomers - Bruno and the others laugh.

Looks like you're still okay, Kane stroked her inner chest down.

The surrounding lords had many well-spoken opponents.

But that's not why I'm alarmed.

Believe me, if you are betrayed, the fate of the Kanes will be exhausted.

I needed to be vigilant all the time.

At least the salvation was that we knew we could rest if we joined.

That's the only circumstance that could ever end up wearing your body and mind out.

But if there's an end to it, I can manage to stop.

Of course, there are limits to that...

We're still fine, Kane tells herself.

Still, it was hilarious.

I can believe that's all we can afford.

I can work my head off inside I can believe I can afford it.

I remember Fuji and Elaine.

What would she say?

Do you laugh with your nose or give a frightened look?

Or do you agree with me on the face?

They all seem possible, and they could react unexpectedly.

In short, I don't know her very well.

That would be the same for her.

Those who did not know each other well were attracted to each other without knowing each other well.

If I could go back alive, I would laugh.

Not at all, I don't like it.

I'm leaving you untrained for coming out dressed like that.

No, it's also possible that you're the only one who thinks so.

If I survive, I'm going to laugh.

But, well, I also feel like that.

I am an ordinary person.

I can't protect my sister, and I'm trapped in that death.

You must continue to be trapped in the death of your sister even through this battle.

What can I do to myself like that?

It can't be a big deal.

But...

"... I'll scratch your feet."

Kane looked up at the sky and groaned small.

It just made me feel a little easier.

"What have you done?

"No, I didn't think it was a big deal."

"It's easy to be modest. If your head's no big deal, what are we?

"It must be a big deal."

Kane gave it back with a bitter smile.

At that time, the sound of gasp sounded.

It's the sound of the bushes swinging by the street.

The subs turn their gaze to those who make noise.

That should be the right decision to make.

Nonetheless, Kane was looking the other way.

The reason - I'm not sure myself.

If you insist.

Then I saw a young man like I saw him somewhere.

"- Huh!"

A young man breathes and reaches for his hips.

But faster than that, Kane was pulling out his sword on the horse.

Turning to his cutting-edge, the young man raised his hands only to surrender.

So the Sabs noticed something strange.

"Head?

Don't be alarmed.

When Kane briefly told him, the Sabs moved the horses around to surround the youth.

"Surrender."

He said, "I can see it. You..."

"Johnnies. I'm here to pick you up on your orders."

"Johnny?"

Kane tilted her neck.

With that said, I feel like I was with Myra when she came.

You look familiar, but you can't be alarmed.

Anyway, it was three years ago.

You can't trust your memory with a boulder.

"Evidence?

"I'd know if you could talk to a communications magic item, sss."

"... sub"

"I'll tell you what."

Whimpering with the youth in sight, Saab moved the horse forward.

Kane put his cage hand close to his mouth.

"Princess, can you hear me?

"'... oh, I'm listening'"

Tilia's voice rang slightly between them.

It seems to overlap, too.

It's from Kane's cage hand and a young man.

"There's a guy here named Johnny, and he's definitely picking you up?

"'Oh, definitely'"

"Characteristics..."

Kane turned her gaze to Johnny and mouthed her facial features and outfits.

"'... oh, it fits. But why are you asking me that?

'Cause I snuck in from behind.'

Kane replied feeling fed up.

From the front, if you'd at least come out of the bush, I wouldn't have had to be alarmed...

Phew, and the sigh echoed from the communication magic item.

I guess it's frightening.

"'Anyway, I'll be waiting.'"

Oh, and Kane replied briefly and lowered his arm.

"I could take the back. This guy's picking me up."

"Good for him."

"Good, ss."

Sabb strokes his chest down and Johnny continues to stroke his chest down.

"What, did you imitate that to be misunderstood?

"I wanted to be in a good position."

When Kane asked, Johnny seemed sorry.

"It's time for you to put your sword in the sheath, sss"

"............... ok"

Kane put his sword in his sheath after he got lost.

Can I trust a man who sneaks from behind?

Such thoughts dominate the chest.

Johnny lowered his hand loosely, seemingly the same as he was on guard.

"I didn't feel alive, sss"

I'm sorry about that.

Though I tried to say the words of apology, if the same thing happened, I would poke my cutting-edge again.

"Come on, this way, sss"

Johnny walks out with his heels back.

The hand is accompanied by a dagger at the waist.

I remembered that my men were wearing out.

"... Johnny"

"A few sus?

Johnny looked back and looked up at this one.

"Do you want my men to rest first?

"... That's right. I'll ask you, sss."

Johnny glanced around and took the communication magic item out of his pocket.

".................. that's too late"

"You must be taking the trouble to guide us."

Go ahead, and Myra put the cup on the table.

Tilia took the cup and carried it to her mouth.

Do not mouth immediately and enjoy the fragrance.

I can choke gently with keho.

It smelled pretty exciting.

"Original?

"It is based on ginger to keep your body cool"

"I've drunk ginger-based incense tea many times, but not so far."

Tilia let go of the cup and stared seriously at the liquid inside.

Reminds me of Elf's medicine made by Aridead and Deneb.

Even so, the smell is different...

"Come on, all the way"

"You drink?

"Absolutely."

Apparently, I have to drink.

But aside from the motive, Myra can be trusted.

You won't serve poison.

Never mind, Tilia drank incense tea.

An irritating sensation passes through the esophagus and reaches the stomach.

Moment after moment, my stomach got a little hot.

The heat travels all over the body in no time.

Hot. My whole body is so sweaty.

Myra gently offers a handkerchief.

"Go ahead."

"Um, I'm sorry"

Receive a handkerchief and wipe the sweat.

"What do you think?

"Not worse than I thought"

I feel just a little sunny because I scratched my sweat.

"... will it sell?

"Are you going to sell it?

"Absolutely."

When Tilia inquired, Myra answered with a strained chest.

As always, the figure is thick.

Hmm, and look down at the empty cup.

It stinks so irritating that I can choke lightly, but it's not a bad feeling to be honest.

"Isn't it hard to sell normally?

"Again, is that right"

Myra nodded with a strange face.

An idea came to mind.

"Why don't you add some value?

"Is it value added"

"That's right. Perfect when you're catching a cold or something."

"Well, that's a great idea"

"I guess so."

Tilia felt deeply satisfied.

"So may I use the name of Empress Tilia?

"... my name"

Tilia flashed her face.

I want you to spare me selling your name - Tilia Tea by any name.

I'm shocked when it didn't sell, of course, when it did.

I wish I could end up with a boom, but if I keep selling till my grandson's generation...

I just imagined it was horrible.

"Can't you?

……

"Can't you?

As Tilia was silent, Myra peered into her face.

I mean my eyes.

I'm not going to be able to do this with a joke.

".....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Thank you"

Myra smiled small.

Watching that grin makes me feel like I was going through the math.

When I thought about telling you one of the sarcasms...

"Hey, you're back, suss."

"Come in."

A brain-weather voice sounds and Myra responds.

The door opened and Kane came in, led by Johnny.

Johnny stops near the door, but Kane stays close.

Take a distance of about two meters and stop, poking one knee.

"Thank you, Kane."

"Oh, that was really tough."

Kane flaunted his shoulder with great admiration.

You must be really tired because it's enough to go out of your way to say it.

"Does that mean you can't move right away?"

"I'm tired, including myself."

"... if that's the case, I can't help it."

I also thought when the Imperial Army moved, it would only wear out soldiers in vain.

You should get some rest and let the supply team attack.

"Take a couple of days off. Myra, can you afford some food?

"Absolutely."

"Now give Kane and the others something sophisticated..."

Say it, shut your mouth.

"What's wrong?

"Um, I was wondering if I could feed the weary some fine food."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it"

"Okay, please."

"Yes, sir."

Myra nodded quietly.

"That's why. Get some rest. I'll explain my plans for the future."

"Thank you. Honestly, I'm at my limit."

Kane stood up and turned his heel back.
