Legend

Streets leading to the city of Gilm. Currently there was one carriage stopped there.

... Yes, it's not running, it's stopping.

Everyone will understand why if you look at the side of the street.

There is currently a battle between monsters and people there.

It's normal that people are being attacked by monsters when it comes to fighting in the streets, but it was different at this time. Instead, only one human being was ravaging the attacked side of the monsters who were supposed to be raiders.

"O shallow oaks, scatter their lives mourning the misfortune that struck us!

That's what the woman says, she waves loudly the weapon she had.

The weapon, at first glance, seemed somewhat longer than a normal long sword, but a normal sword. But when the woman waved her sword wide, the tip of her sword was stretched out like a whip, and at the same time the blade was attached to the whip. A weapon called a serpentine sword or serpentine sword. It's a kind of magic item that would otherwise require very advanced technology to handle, but a woman wields a jointed sword as if to dance.

And such a woman also had the beauty she deserved to dance beautiful again. He has a neat face as if he were a work of art, and his sharp cleavage eyes are reminiscent of the strength of his mind and the strength of his will, emitting a colour that makes him stand with a distinct smell of exactly who is reborn from a girl to a woman in his late teens. Also from its head, the luxurious blonde hair that should be expressed as a golden thread stretches to the middle of its back. The tip of the hair is curly and rolled, a haircut called vertical roll.

What covers the body is armor, which is also a magic item similar to a linked sword. The effect is to give the blessing of the wind, which increases the speed of those equipped and gives them the ability to read the wind. Protecting its back is a magic item with a golden cloak with a hazard perception effect that has a color similar to that of golden hair. And Slapenil's shoes that it's possible to kick in the sky if it's a few steps that are worn on your feet. The necklace hangs on the chest that attracts a man's eyes and won't stop him from getting caught in a huge swell to boost his magical defense.

Exactly the woman whose whole body is solidified with a magic item, but most of all, it would be amazing not to rely on the performance of that magic item but to use it entirely.

"What's the matter, you want to get me? Then show me what you can do! I won't refuse to imitate a man who's weaker than me!

That's the woman who shouts and waves a jointed sword. It is probably because he is waving a continuous sword in a violent, dance-like motion. Even though the figure knows he will hunt for his life, Orc is severed by a continuous sword with his neck in love with the beauty of the woman. The momentum cut from the neck of the oak caused a few drops of blood to jump to the white skin, but even the oak's blood was make-up to highlight the woman's beauty.

The figure was just even beautiful and gorgeous, and yet cruel. It's not just beauty and cruelty. It also emits charisma that attracts people's eyes, or majesty as generals. If we are to force ourselves to describe that figure, which can be expressed both as the god of war and as the goddess of beauty, is it the goddess of war?

Yes, it is this woman who overwhelms more than 10 oaks by herself that is Elaine Kelevel. It is not only the Bestian Empire, who made it a courtier of the Duke of Keller and made a one-pronged name for the Kingdom of Mireana and its activism, but also a prestigious general as a princess in the surrounding countries.

Two knights watched over their bosses a little further away.

"That's Master Elaine. It doesn't look like an oak."

It is the knight of the woman who is watching Elaine with a snug look hunting for an oak as she dances. Is she a little younger than Elaine, although she is in her late teens? His name is Earla Scarley, and he's one of Elaine's escorts. It is the third daughter of the Earl of Scarley family who belongs to the aristocracy who has the last name.

"Uh, really, my queen is beautiful, but you say she's scared, or you say she's beautiful because she's scared..."

It's a knight in his early 20s who's smiling bitterly like a shudder, Ver Sails. This one is also the second son of Viscount Sails, who belongs to the aristocracy as well as Ara, and is one of the escorts.

And to these two, the escort unit ordered by the Duke of Kelevel to defend Elaine as the three men who put Custe, the second son of the Marquis of Brassin, are on their way to the city of Gilm.

"And I can't believe there's an oak out in the streets like this... that's weird coming out to Oak Mage and Oak Archer too"

Arla whines as she falls in love with Elaine. Having heard the word, Ver spins the word in the same light tone as usual.

He said, "Well, there's been talk of an oak settlement near the city of Gilm recently, and a crusader was dispatched, so I think it's probably survival or something."

"... you know exactly what's going on around here."

Ver smiles bitterly at a colleague who sees himself with a surprised look.

"It's a city we're going to, so we're going to have to gather information. As far as the back of this unit is concerned. Besides, the city of Gilm is not a nobleman, it's a neutral, and it's also the lap of Larks Border Uncle, who's seen as a big player in it."

"... right. You can't fail to gather information to protect Elaine."

"Well, that being said, Master Elaine is stronger than all of us combined, so there's hardly any point in the escort."

"You. Eh!

He turns to Arla, who yells at him, and Ver turns his gaze toward Elaine to delude the story.

"Look, the fight's about to end. You'll be late to get to the city of Gilm if you take the time here, and we have to clean up after you. I will gather the demon stones of the oak that Elaine defeated."

"I don't think I need to collect as much oak material as I do."

"I won't say that. Look, if you sell the demonic stones you took here or something in the city of Gilm, you'll make me feel a little intimate over here, right?

"So, you want a crusade proof site?

"That's not... because we're not signed up for the guild at all. It's ridiculous to sign up for a guild just to sell a crusade proof site."

"If you say so, yes. Even though you don't belong to the guild or buy me the crusade proof site."

Below the snorting Ara comes Elaine, who destroyed a small herd of oaks without scratching them.

There is no colour of fatigue on that face, not even his breath is disturbed. Is it just that my cheeks are slightly more bloody because of intense exercise? And that was creating an extra hue that could be described as awesome for Elaine. He is not interested in anything like romance at all, but his appearance is so colourful that many people can just see it and attract it. That would be unlucky for him and for those around him.

"Should I just say peripheral? I had no idea there was going to be so many orcs in the streets from day to day."

"Good day, Master Elaine. Here you go. There's blood on your cheeks..."

Ara gently offers a silk handkerchief.

"Thank you, Ara"

Softly wiping the blood on his cheek with that silk handkerchief, he mutilates the oak's chest and calls out to Ver, who is taking the demon stone out of his heart.

"Ver, you can collect the Demon Stone, but you can do it early. It will be troublesome for the other monsters to come closer, taking away the smell of the blood of the orcs."

"Yes, I'll finish it right away"

As the saying goes, Ver handily removes the demon stone from the oak. The task was familiar even from the edge.

Naturally. In any case, by the time we reached the city of Gilm from the king's capital, the monsters had already attacked us many times, and in return, we had taken the demon stone out of its body. Its handy qualities are no worse than those of the adventurers around it.

Demonstrating its handy, and having quickly taken the Demon Stone from more than 10 oaks, Ver throws it unwrought into a bag containing the Demon Stone he has taken from previous monsters.

"Dear Elaine, We have completed the collection of the Demon Stone, so let's leave this place. As Elaine said, it's troublesome to be attracted to the smell of blood and to have a new monster."

"Um, shall we? Just a few moments to the city of Gilm. Good luck to both of you."

"What are you talking about? I'll always be fine if Master Elaine stays by my side!

"Heh heh, Ara is doing well.... Ver, you ready?

"There doesn't seem to be any particular damage to carriages either.... just as good as ever."

Ver turns his gaze to Chirali, and the carriage.

Very few people can tell that this carriage, which at first glance only looks like a regular carriage, is actually a very advanced magic item. Because it is also given the effect of concealment to be discreet. Other space magic adjusts the interior of the carriage to a luxurious room of about 30 tatami tatami. Also, because the carriage itself is magically enhanced, it is very sturdy, and if it is about bow and arrow, it literally doesn't stand a blade. And it also had the granting effect of increasing the ability of horses to pull carriages, and the effect that the horses pulling carriages were one of the leading warhorses in the Kingdom of Mireana, making this carriage a kind of running castle fortress. There were other effects of perceiving hostility, thanks to which he was avoided being ambushed by an orc.

It's all about Nobles Obriege, the magic item of a special order made by the Duke of Kelp to the alchemists of Ozos, the magic city where one of the world's leading wizards is said to gather in order to protect his beloved daughter who threw herself on the battlefield to fulfill her so-called noble duty.

Following Ver's gaze toward the carriage, Elaine nods small.

"Mm-hmm. I have to thank my father. Thanks to these kids and their carriages, they can travel without any worries, whether it's the battlefield or the streets on the border."

With that said, Elaine strokes the back of two warhorses connected to the carriage.

"Brrrrrrrrrrrr"

Warhorse narrows her eyes and hisses small in the comfort of being able to stroke her back.

"You guys are almost to the city of Gilm. Good luck with that."

That's what I said at the end, Elaine walking into the carriage. Ara follows him into the carriage, and Ver sits in the passenger seat and sets off the carriage.

In the carriage is a line of furniture that the craftsmen supposedly crafted with great skill. This was also prepared by his father, the Duke of Keller, to worry about his daughter leaving for a dangerous place and to forgive her a little.

And Arla brews tea in the carriage, which is even equipped with a simple kitchen by magic items, and Elaine sits on the couch and waits for it.

"Custe, are you okay?

"What?

Arla whines as she puts the freshly brewed tea on the table in front of the couch where Elaine is lenient.

"Look, Custe basically responds politely to nobility, but if the other person is not noble, the response becomes grotesque. But it's not the aristocracy that Elaine belongs to, it's the territory of a neutral aristocracy, so I don't want you to make too much noise."

"Ara."

"Yes?"

"It is true that my father is a central figure in the aristocracy. But as I've said many times before, I'm not a nobleman myself. … but not neutral or kingship."

That's what Elaine tells her as she gracefully carries her tea into her mouth, as if the fierce battle earlier was a lie.

Ara lets her clever imitation of sighing while falling in love with her own boss like that.

"Dear Elaine, as I've said on several occasions, others automatically see Elaine as an aristocrat herself, at a time when Elaine's father is the central figure of the aristocracy, the Duke of Kelevel."

"... nobility is troublesome."

"That's a very convincing word when Elaine, who is faithful to her noble duty, says,"

Arla puts a plate on the table with the cookies she had prepared and smiles bitterly.

"I understand my duty as a nobleman. We live by the taxes of our people, so we have no hesitation in dedicating ourselves to protecting them. But I don't want to fight for power."

"But Elaine's presence is so related that your father, the Duke of Kelp, is a powerful man among the aristocrats that he can be described as a symbol of the aristocracy."

To Ara's words, Elaine brings cookies to her mouth with a bitter smile.

"General Princess? Honestly, I think it's past my street name."

"What do you say? The battle that Elaine defeated the General of the Bestian Empire with one horse has spread throughout the kingdom of Mireana."

"Whatever the story is. Upcoming plans…"

"Yes. Once you get to the city of Gilm, you will first have a meeting with your lord, Uncle Larks Borderline. And we're going to spend the night in the Lords' Hall and leave for the dungeon the next day as soon as possible."

"A dungeon?... Altar of Inheritance. I really didn't think they'd find out."

"Right. Fortunately, no one in the city of Gilm seems to realize its true value."

"Then the biggest problem is can we get there safely... do we really not have to be bandits to hire in the city of Gilm? Even though Ver is familiar with the skill of his hand, it's probably the first time he's actually dived into a dungeon."

"I think so too... somehow I'm running out of Ver himself saying it's okay"

"Hmm.... an adventurer in a bordering city? Maybe there's someone stronger than me there."

"Dear Elaine... I'd like you to stop making public statements about entrusting yourself to the person who defeated you"

Even for Arla, who is intoxicated by Elaine, she opens her mouth saying she can't give all that away.

Make it a literary martial arts road and look radical. Too much protrusion than others, but therefore Elaine assumed that even one person to be bound to her had to be above herself. And now I was only saying publicly that I had to be stronger than myself, to be known as the Princess General.

Naturally, the aristocratic youths who heard of it had challenged how many, dozens and hundreds to date as having a wife of beauty and the Duke of Keller House itself if they beat Elaine, but all of that was being returned to Elaine.

Because it's such an Elaine, I'm assuming that the person I deserve won't be.

... but Elaine doesn't know. That you will meet someone who can be described as your destiny in the neighbouring city you are about to head out to. And that for the first time there you will have the awareness that you are a woman.
