Legend

In the evening, near the woods along the streets, Ray and the Wideres. A line of White Rose Knights begins to prepare for the camp.

Most of all, when it came to preparing the camp, all Ray had to do was take out the magic tent, and the White Rose Knights looked at the irrationality of the item box, including Widare.

"So, what did you decide to do after all? As far as I'm concerned, it's a little small, but if everyone's going to be in the magic tent, that's fine."

Ray's gaze is directed toward the horses connected to the trees, even as he asks toward Wideret.

Looking restless somewhere, trying to get a little distance from Seto... or hiding behind a tree, the horses were obviously frightened by Seto.

As for Seto, he basically has a nostalgic personality unless he is hostile to himself, so he seems scared and lonely by the horses.

If it's a stables kind of place, the horses might get used to Seto too if we stay together for quite a while.

But these horses just met Seto today.

Furthermore, Seto was flying in the sky except during a lunch break and had little chance to face each other.

More than that, it can be taken for granted that the horses are unfamiliar with Seto.

"... I'm sorry, but we're going to have to take a short break."

"If the horse really cares about Seto, can we just let Seto go a little further away? With Seto's five senses, some distance doesn't matter."

Whidere's men shined their faces at Ray's words, but Whidere shook his neck to the side before the knight opened his mouth.

"No, unfortunately that's not why. Even if we look like this, we are the White Rose Knights of Jin-sook. No matter how much Lord Ray trusts you, you can't spend the night in the same tent under one roof."

"It's a magic tent, so it's not like a tent around there... well, if you're going to say it that far, I'm not going to force this one either. So what are you gonna do?

"I'm renting a regular tent from Lord Theorem, so I'm going to let you use it. Given the number of people on watch, you can sleep without a shortage if you take turns."

"Watch, huh? I can handle it here and there, to a certain extent? Like I said now, Seto's five senses are sharp. You won't miss a monster or a bandit approaching your tent a little further away."

"But..."

It was a widere to say something, but before that, Ray opens his mouth.

"If things go well, we should be in the capital by about noon tomorrow, but that would naturally be quite a force maker."

Horses given by the White Rose Knights by the Rebels are good horses, but they still don't have the high ability to be like the finest horses given to Frizione. More than that, it naturally becomes the same or more forcible force as it is today. Wiedele is convinced by Ray's words explaining that.

"That's... that's true. What we need to do now for His Highness Frizione is return to the Imperial City a little sooner rather than later. All right, Lord Ray. If you're on the lookout, I'll ask you."

"Seto, not me."

Whimpering, did you call? and stroke Seto's head tilting his neck.

"The Wideres are asking me to keep an eye on them tonight."

"... Seto, Regards"

"Gru!"

Watching the other knights bow their heads as well following the bowing widere, Ray cooks out of Mystering with a little surprise.

What's there is a stew simmered with plenty of vegetables and meat over time.

Actually, I was supposed to serve an easier dish, but I was a little impressed to see the current Wideres who bowed their heads toward Seto, so the cooking grade may be slightly higher.

Fluffy, and the smell of stew all around me as the autumn sunset pours.

The knights of the White Rose Knights scream at the sight as if they were coming to camp instead of marching.

Even if you are a knight, it makes no difference that you are a living being. Naturally, delicious food boils the mood and leads to the motivation of tomorrow.

"Do you want it for dinner? We had lunch in a hurry today, so it was about a sandwich, and we'll have a fancy dinner or something."

Also, once this operation is more than an act of rebellion, naturally Ray is getting food money from Theorem.

It's not enough to buy enough food for Ray and Seto to be satisfied, but the average person would still be able to eat it for ten days.

... Ningro, should I mourn Ray and Seto's poor fuel consumption, even with all that money I can't eat enough to be satisfied on the round-trip journey of about four days?

In any case, even if I behaved like a meal to the widows here today, my stomach would hardly hurt.

"This is... sorry, it's a treat"

To the smell drifting from Ray's served pot, Wideret decides not to hesitate to treat him to a light meal.

If I refused Ray's offer, it was because I could understand that the push from my men would be terrific anyway.

There is also the fact that Widere herself was inspired by the smell drifting from the pan.

"Oh, eat plenty. Like I said, it's gonna be tough tomorrow."

I'll put a stew in each dish and hand it over.

Soup with plenty of loose vegetables and meat, not soup-like soup, which wouldn't be strange to describe as the main dish.

Served with that soup was this freshly baked bread again. The crispy bread inside is not the black bread that is the staple food in the Bestian Empire, but the so-called white bread, but enough to be delicious even if eaten alone.

The beverage is water that is not like wine or fruit water, but naturally it is distinctly different from the water around it than Ray produced with his magic in the dagger of running water.

Soup, bread, water. Normally, it's a menu of qualitative meals, but each and every taste of it is different from the one around it.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

"This is... and what a luxury"

"Sure. It's not something you can eat in a normal camp."

"As opposed to normal, if you ask me if even a fairly high-ranking nobleman can eat all this food in the camp..."

Ray eats soup and bread as he gets used to it as the faces of the White Rose Knights, including Widare, share their thoughts with each of them.

This is because I have experienced the reaction of this hand many times before, so I am already used to it.

I enjoy eating when I say it's more important to have a good taste of the dish in front of me now than that.

Also, naturally Seto is eating, but Seto's meal is a round roasted fangboa found from above near evening.

Only a fangbore the size of which is about two meters long is close to rare if you call it a round grill.

I treated it out of the gut and baked it with Ray's magic, so it would naturally be very different from a carefully fired round bake.

Seto, however, prefers meat cooked like skewers sold throughout the city, but also raw meat.

In that sense, the whole baking of fangboa, which was just seasoned with salt and vanilla on a large handful, was also something that seemed satisfactory enough.

He was joyfully throbbing, pecking at Fangbore's meat.

Keep it that way for about twenty minutes. Everyone was concentrated there on the deliciousness of the dish, but they finally start exchanging words about how calm they are.

"So, before noon tomorrow, we're going to get to the Imperial Capital, but you know how long it's going to take for the other one to be ready?

"... I can't say anything from me. It will be up to His Highness Frizione. Will you also take the faction, or will you return to your territory until this disturbance subsides? Depends on what's going on around there."

"So that means you can't act for a while after you get to the Imperial City?

As Ray's image suggests, it takes time for the aristocrats to decide anything, and it takes time for them to get more prepared.

Especially this time, Frizione, the first princess, moves around, so if you do poorly, it may take a week or two instead of about two a day. I wouldn't be able to help thinking that way.

But Wydere shakes her neck beside Ray's inquiry.

"I'm talking about His Highness Frizione. I don't care if you think we're ready to leave the capital at the time we're dispatched. Formatting it naturally makes it easy to get your surrounding attention. For His Highness Schulus and His Highness Kabazid will also find you."

"I won't imitate that," he said.

"Mm-hmm. His Highness Frizione is kinder, but there's nothing about him that doesn't understand the current situation. I want you to feel safe around there."

It's okay, I assure you, Ray, having heard Wydere's words, turns his gaze to the other knights.

It was an act of wondering if maybe Widere just believes in Frizione unconditionally, but all the knights nod and grin back whenever they say there is no problem.

(Apparently, it's true. Well, if you think about it, even if it's half, it's connected to Vihella and Merclio. On top of that, I've also been educated as a royal family, so there's no such thing as incompetence)

It's not uncommon for brothers and sisters of competent figures to grow incompetent, but as far as Ray heard from the likes of Vihera, Merclio and Theorem, he didn't have that impression.

"Do you have more time in Imperial Capital than you thought?"

"Uhm.... you got something?

I guess I questioned Ray's words. Widere asks.

"There was a place I wanted to drop by. Think about cooking and other supplements. If we succeed in that, we may get some information about the Imperial Capital today."

"That's important."

I immediately agreed, not Whidere......, but one of the knights.

Ray's dishes were just delicious, and I almost agreed with them reflexively.

"You..."

Unexpectedly sighs at the condition of his men, who have nothing but cash.

Ray smiles slightly at some comic talent-like exchange.

However, Ray cannot enter the inn more than he has already checked out of the old sky pavilion.

The evening wheat pavilion in Gilm also does the dining room in addition to the inn, but the ancient empty pavilion, the best of the Bestian empires, naturally doesn't do that.

If Dusker was still in the inn, maybe the story would have been different, but that Dusker has already checked out, too.

"Needless to say, Lord Ray is quite a celebrity. I hope you don't imitate as conspicuously as you can."

To Wydere's words, Ray turns his gaze to the robe he is wearing.

"This robe has a cover-up effect. Unless you're familiar with magic, you won't be seen through."

"Because it's the capital, there's a good chance there 'll be more of them."

"Uh, captain. You can eat such delicious food, right? Lord Ray also says he's fine because he has a robe of magic items, and he must be here!

Ray snorts with a small grin at the knight who screams all the time if he lets the delicious food slip away.

"If you don't mind a widow, I'm more than welcome."

"Is it true!

In Ray's words, the knight's face shines.

"Lord Ray, I don't want you to spoil me too much. Once they're spoiled, they'll be sweet."

"No, Captain Widere. Was that what you thought of me!?

"... I won't say I forgot about the previous fruit."

"Ugh!"

I guess I had an idea. The knight stops moving.

Until a few seconds ago, the appearance was completely different, and at the same time brought a small grin to the beholder.

"Phew."

When one of the knights accidentally leaks a grin at his coworkers like that, the grin spreads to the others in a chain.

"Phew. Totally...... Anyway, back to the point, I generally understood where Lord Ray wanted to stop. I don't think it would be a problem around here if it wasn't too noticeable. Most of all, it depends on what happens when you get back to Imperial Capital... because I didn't expect Lord Ray and only a few of his men to do something about the Crusaders."

I had no expectation of this situation, sighing widere.

However much quality outweighs quantity in this world, there are limits.

It was an unexpected event to wipe out the Crusaders in just about thirty or so.

"I just did decent things with that immovable noise. As expected...... no, I should say I have more power than I expected"

"Praise me so much, there's nothing out there. … eat this for now."

It was Liot who was removed from the mistering.

It was sneaked apart by Vihera before we left the position.

Ray, who understood the moment he saw it would be a kind of pear, thankfully received it.

Sometimes I didn't originally hate pears, and Liot was a delightful gift for Ray as well.

Wydere receives the liotto, even as she is surprised at how completely different she is from what she did a moment ago when she said nothing would come out.

There's no way the White Rose Knights, including Widare, disliked Liot more than being a Bestian Empire.

"Thank you.... Nevertheless, even if it's a short journey to the Imperial City, Lord Ray will still take care of you."

While peeling Liot's skin with a knife out of nowhere, Wideret smiled with joy.
