Kuro no Senki (LN)

Episode 18: The Showdown/Behind, Part 11

Night - As Johnny walked through the Imperial Army camp position, the sound of a ghoul sounded.

It's the sound of a belly bug.

Tidal ticks, and only move your gaze to see what's going on around you.

I can't stand hunger, and I'm sick of the task of digging holes.

I would be heartbroken if I worked as an Imperial Army soldier like this.

Of course, that's not the only reason.

Reminds me of the conversation between Roy and Peter.

No, is it the air Peter was letting drift?

He seems relaxed and hasn't failed to be vigilant.

It was air reminiscent of Claude.

I felt like I was ready.

The world isn't sweet enough to be strong just that.

I know because I've survived my life-saving training.

But with one thing in mind, humans jump into hell.

And then there's optimism.

Anyway, don't look sweet.

I feel like other soldiers are changing, not just Peter.

It's not a good trend.

When the soldiers get cautious, they'll easily see through Johnny's act.

That's why I decided to withdraw.

"... Mr. John, you're not here."

Blur as you look around.

The last time I wanted to ask you to share your portable meal, it's not limited to today.

You usually call me from yourself...

Speaking of which, what position does John hold?

I've never seen you work.

Ooh, and open your eyes gently.

John walked into the tent with a flaw.

Will it be okay to push it when I go to bed?

Shouldn't it disappear in silence?

Guh, and the belly bug rang again.

You should be able to eat a full stomach once you get back to the South Side Army stronghold.

No, and I shake my head small.

The master won't feed me.

You have to be patient till morning with the eyes that even bugs see.

After all, you should get a portable meal.

If I fall on the way, I can't even see it.

Johnny approaches the tent where John walked in with vigilance around him.

Going into the tent, John was sticking his dagger up at a soldier sleeping in bed.

It's a thin, long dagger for assassination.

John looks at Johnny a little.

Pull out the dagger and wipe the blood with the futon.

And I got up slowly.

"What are you doing, S.?

Unexpectedly ask.

I think I'm asking stupid things myself.

John killed a man.

Assassinated.

That's all.

Nevertheless, how can you be asking such a stupid question?

Maybe that's because John's behavior was too normal.

You wouldn't have thought you'd killed a person if you hadn't seen the moment to stick out your dagger.

I mean, he's a dagger in character.

Wait, there's been a misunderstanding.

"Oh, is that a misunderstanding?

"Oh, it's a little misunderstanding. If we discuss this for a moment, even idiots will know."

John spreads his arms wide apart and loosens up.

The ridiculous thought of whether it really is a misunderstanding springs up.

That can't be right.

Whether in a friendly manner or without feeling murderous, John remains clenched with his dagger.

Don't trust the person who approaches you with your dagger clenched.

"Oh, that's this dagger. I'm sorry I scared you."

John tried to keep his dagger in his sheath and curled.

The next moment, the time came to zero.

Sudden acceleration from weakness.

John sticks out.

The aim is a gap in the ribs - the heart.

But the dagger cut the sky.

Why.

It is decided.

Because I avoided it.

I jumped back and shouted.

John didn't change his expression even if he was avoided the first shot.

I just change my body and roll out the elbow iron to say it's woven.

The aim is the heart again.

Striking your chest can cause you to pass out.

Probably after that.

Johnny twisted his body and jumped backwards to fall in.

If I was in the tent, I would have stuck it in the cloth.

But this place is outside.

There are no constraints.

John kicks the earth.

It's a terrible acceleration, but we have the means to confront it.

Throw a stone.

It's a stone that was falling under my feet.

John received the stone with his arms crossed.

Slightly, slightly slower.

Poking through that gap, Johnny turned his back and escaped.

The opponent is a superior dagger.

We were lucky to have raised the attack three times.

Fighting directly from the front doesn't win.

Johnny moves his legs desperately, outside - to the woods nearby.

The escape route has been confirmed.

Imperial army camp positions have many blind spots.

If we move blind spots, we can escape into the woods without anyone finding us.

Johnny escaped the camp position without anyone finding him and jumped into the woods.

Running through the woods, an accidental impact ran on his shoulder.

Fall to the ground.

Touch your shoulders.

There is no such thing as a dagger piercing or broken bone.

Apparently, they hit a stone or something.

"Dude, why are you running away?

John's voice sounds.

Johnny leaned back and woke up.

Keep twitching and retreating.

Suddenly he was slaughtered, so he ran away.

"That was bad."

"Besides, I've been throwing stones at you, sss"

"That was bad, too. There's been a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstandings?

Use your hands and feet to retract, something - the string touches your fingertips.

"Well, that's a misunderstanding."

John told him to exhale, accelerating at once.

Johnny pulled the string hard and flipped himself.

Half a second late, the arrow is released.

It's a trap set by the Imperial Army in the woods.

The arrows fly in a straight line and pierce John.

That was supposed to happen.

But the arrow slowed down in front of John.

Impossible, opens his eyes.

But I know a phenomenon very similar to this.

Saw it in Imperial City.

Crono's men - Snow used them.

I don't know, it's like engraving.

John slapped down the arrow with a dagger.

Dead.

If I can avoid that, I'll have no hitter.

John stepped out unconstructively and jumped back.

The Great Sword passes through the space where John was until half a second ago.

Lord Johnny, are you all right? '(?

"A rookie? But..."

John couldn't say enough until the end.

An arrow stabbed him underfoot.

Looking back, there was an elf archer on the tree.

I think it's either Aridead or Deneb, but I guess it's either.

"Surrender" (Guru...)

"Okay."

As Tyga roared, John let go of his hand from his dagger.

"Listen to me before you kill me."

What are you going to do? '(Guru?

Tiga said as she looked to John.

I feel like I should just kill him like this...

"For once, I'll just listen to you, sss"

"Actually, I was infiltrating the Imperial Army on Lord Myra's orders."

Uh-huh, Johnny roared.

There are collaborators and operatives inside the Imperial capital, so it seems likely.

"What did the master say, suss?

I need your support.

"Lies!

Johnny screamed.

Master would never say that.

Such people do not treat bandits as resources or throw their disciples into the Aleos Mountains.

"Come on, what do you think Master Myra is? You're a disciple, aren't you?

"That's who you think your master is!

"Ah, okay, okay. Tell the truth. I'm working on Master Chrono's orders."

"Is that true?

"That portable meal..."

"Don't be in a stick pan" (Ruru)

"Yes, stick bread is proof"

'I'm sorry to interrupt. That's called hard bread. "(Grunts)

"Why are you lying?"

John said blurry to Tyga's words.

"That's you, why are you lying?

"Okay. Tell the truth."

"Enough, Sz."

"I'm working on Master Nege's orders."

"Nege?"

Johnny tilted his neck.

It's a name I've heard somewhere...

"You, you threw a dagger at Master Nege in Imperial City, didn't you?

"Oh, you're talking about that guy, sss. It's worse to shut up and break into the mansion, sss."

"Anyway, I work for Master Nege."

"Okay, sss."

"You believe me?

"I've decided not to think about things I can't be sure of, sss."

Johnny said with his chest up.

"Use your head for a second."

"Question ss. Why did you kill a soldier?

"It's like they were starting to get ready. I thought I'd scratch you around."

"One more question, sss. Why did you try to kill me?

"They saw the crime scene, and it stinks of trouble to explain it, and then they try to make him guilty..."

"You, suck!

Johnny screamed.

"I took care of him, so he could be useful at the end of the day."

"What do you think people's lives are, like, annoying to explain?"

"You're killing people too."

"I'm not even screwed off my head, sss."

Johnny glanced.

I want you to be common sense, even if you have no choice but to kill people.

"So, what are you going to do with me?

"You can go back to the camp, Suss."

"... Lord Johnny" (... Guru)

"I'm going back to base. It's none of my business."

"Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me."

John disappears with the sound of a shuba.

The dagger has politely disappeared.

Instead there was a letter.

It's a paper fold.

Johnny walked over quietly and removed the magnet from the porch.

No needles or thin blades seem to be planted.

That's why I can't be alarmed.

The Lou make blade substitutes from stone.

I pouch the magnet and stir it with my hands.

It doesn't seem to be poisoned either.

Of course, there's a possibility that it's a tasteless, odorless poison...

Pick up the letter and stand up.

"Thank you both, sss."

"Don't thank me. So now the awkward are. '

"It's like seeing you again if you have a life."

Johnny bowed his head to both of them and walked out.

I feel like my master is going to be mad at me - well, I'll figure it out.

So, are you back?

"... Exactly, sss"

The master said in a sigh, Johnny dropped his shoulder.

I thought I could work it out, but I couldn't seem to.

Seeking salvation, Mr. - see Empress Tilia.

The Empress Tilia sits to bring to the chair.

I don't seem in a good mood.

I have no choice.

The fact that I came back late at night prevented me from sleeping.

"Myra, get that preaching done"

"Understood."

Empress Tilia said like a hundred million and Myra pulled lightly.

"Oh, oh, is that a punishment?

"I wouldn't do that"

As Empress Tilia mumbled, Johnny stroked her chest down.

It further damaged my mood, but the punishment could be avoided.

"If you've decided you can't do this any more, you can't help it. Better than being tortured and spitting information. By the way, what did the letter say?

"I haven't read it yet, sss"

Johnny took the letter out of the porch and offered it to Empress Tilia.

Then, the master teased him to the side.

"What do you mean, you give your wife something you haven't been able to verify your safety!

"also, thigh, sorry sss"

"Be careful from now on"

The master said in a sigh, opening the letter.

Exhale deeply after a while.

"What did it say?

"It's bullshit."

"Then I don't know."

"It said it was hard during the civil unrest."

"Why would you do that?

"To testify against a man named John."

Chip, the master flaunted his face and pounded his tongue.

It looks unusual.

I guess you thought you exposed yourself to the serious appearance that was in the maid.

The master drowned his head deeply towards Empress Tilia.

"I'm sorry. Excuse me in front of your wife.

I don't mind.

Empress Tilia nodded to Eagle Deep Fried.

"Did it say anything else?

"Somewhat, I'll back it up, so say hello to the grace award"

"That's all I'm gonna do."

Empress Tilia poked her cheekstick in support of her elbow hanging.

"What am I supposed to do, S?

"Eat your meal and get some rest today"

"Roger that, Sz!

Johnny saluted by stretching his spine.

The master sighed and pressed Johnny into the letter.

"Please fill the letter in the hole before you eat."

"Is that poison?

"I don't think you have to worry about that, just in case. Don't read the contents."

"Okay, sss."

Johnny turned his heel back and headed outside.

Go outside...

"When asked not to read -"

"You think you want to see it?

Looking next door, the master was letting his face peer through the door.

You're not gonna read it, are you?

"Really? Relieved."

The master closed the door and Johnny exhaled in a ho.

Curiosity kills cats.

I mean, that's the thing.

Johnny buried the letter as he could tell and enjoyed a decent meal.
