Episode 74: Games in the Forest of the Divine Spirit (7)

"... by the way, Lord Mine, I've been wondering"

Yeah?

"What is the wolf of a child on that head?

... Oh, that would do it, wouldn't it?

While I was bowing my head, I was watching you bluffing so desperately that you wouldn't fall.

I am still impressed by the fact that we have often been able to talk seriously without laughing at each other.

I think the Knight Commander is enjoying a subtle laugh too...

The Knights look at Fenrill, a child who is happy to slap me in the head with his hands.

"... deep in the woods, I helped because I was being attacked by bad demons...

As you can see, they miss me...

So I thought I'd sign up as my squire. "

Yeah, I didn't lie!

I helped him get attacked by a bad adventurer, no doubt about it!

"Ho, that's unusual.

I can't believe I miss wild wolves so much......

But you're cute. Look at it this way. "

One of the Knights says so and stares seriously at Fenrill the child.

"Wahu?

He stared at me the other way and said, 'What?' and Fenrir, the child who tilts his neck.

... Yeah, you're so cute.

Everyone smiles at that adorable trick, including the Knights who watched by their side.

One of the Knights ran back from the woods to base camp as they were all soothed by the adorability of child Fenrill like that.

"Lord Commander, Sir Claude has delegated me to participate in the game. The adventurers will be back soon!

After listening to the knight making a report with a slight breath out, the atmosphere on the spot, which was soothing, tends to pean.

"... ok. So now it's time to give them guidance.

Everybody, get to your stations! Just in case they try to escape!

Listening to the temperamental caged instructions of the Knights Commander, the men run simultaneously to the holding area for which each is in charge.

The same goes for the captain, but the way everyone feels is amazing.

"Lord Mine, this is finally the time.

It's one of the biggest catches I've ever made since I put you in a dangerous game.

Shall we settle? "

With a smile on his face, the captain slowly walks to the square to make a decision on this game.

"... shall we go too?"

'I don't know, but I'm going -!

...... nervousness is ruined at once.

Well, it's like that from this kid, isn't it?

I don't think you're interested in divine beasts.

I feel a little out of the mood, but Fenrir and I also run after the captain of the regiment.

Of course, child Fenrir is on my head and not walking on his own feet.

... Well, that's fine.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Well? You didn't run away, did you? Civilians.

Because the knights were making a scene, I thought they were eaten by demons.

Safe and above all. "

As always, he wants to hate me, Claude, and he calls me out.

How long will you have that attitude?

"... hmm? What's with the wolf on your head?

Much, isn't it an unusual wolf...

Hmm, that's good. Why don't I give it to you?

It would be an honor to have me as a nobleman! Fuhahahaha "

... what? Isn't he crazy?

While I am upset, I politely say no. [M]

"This child is part of my important family.

I'm sorry, but I can't give it to you. "

That being said, Claude gets mad in an instant, like he did yesterday.

"You, you would have licked me yesterday!

Who do you think I am? Claude Roselia, the next head of the Roselia family.

People like you don't even get to hear your mouth!

... Now I'm saying if you give me that wolf, I'll forgive you for being disrespectful.

Just give me that wolf!!!

No... this guy, it's not gonna be a conversation.

This is a waste of time.

... When I look at the Knights Commander for a moment, he nods back at me and interrupts the conversation.

"Sir Claude, how many times do I have to tell you?

Lord Mine is the fiancée of His Majesty Sylphide, whom the King has recognized.

Have you forgotten to say that this game is being conducted with the King's authorization?

If you're an opponent and you want to work for your royal fiancée... "

That's all the Knights chief said, I guess he remembered the upside of last night.

With all his reluctant attitude, he retreats.

It also makes me wonder what it's like to be an aristocrat to say it openly to attitude, doesn't it?

"... then get the demons you've hunted more than this out of the storage bag.

Let me start with Lord Claude, and the nobles. "

When the Knights Commander says so, the Adventurers hired by Claude and the others take out one material after another that they dismantle.

"Huhahahaha, what do you say! This amount!!!

You're not an adventurer, are you? We won without having to argue!!!

It was Claude declaring victory, but after all, all the material being submitted was clearly starting to hurt.

Having seen the material, the Knight Commander asks Claude without breaking his expression.

"... Sir Claude, may I ask you one thing?

In a pale tone, the Knight Commander began to confirm the material damage.

"... you think it's hurt? Such a thing would be like this civilian."

When I hear the words, I silently take the material out of the storage bag.

Naturally, my material has just been dismantled, and the damage remains slight. [M]

"... Obviously not? What do you say?

Plus the material brought to you by Sir Claude's hired adventurers......

Obviously it's degraded over time, isn't it?

That's what the Knights Commander says, looking around at the nobles and the adventurers.

Then the adventurers, the nobles, who have too much in mind, behave visibly strangely.

"With that said, you were hunted by a good number of people before the game, right?

We're checking with the Knights properly. Where was the material at that time?

Until the pre hunt, they were exposed to... a clear upset.

I can see that Claude is also pulling his face slightly.

"... what do you want to say?

"The damage to the material brought and the fact that they were hunting before the game started.

A really odd match, don't you think?

It feels like you left it for about a day after you saw the injury, right?

I'm just wondering what a strange thing it is.

……

"Besides, we also know how your adventurers were hunting during the game.

Right now, the amount of material served is obviously more than the amount they were hunting for, right?

... That one, I shut up.

If I shut up here, I think it's like admitting it...

"Sir Claude, you've been wronged in this game, held with your own suggestion to the King, haven't you?

"... I didn't do that."

"In the meantime, may I ask you to open it in the capital?"

The adventurers who heard the words of the Knights escape at first sight.

... Well, that's right.

If wrongdoing is found, they will naturally be tried.

You can tell if you shouldn't have done it if you've just been hired.

This is how you escape because you are aware that you have done something you shouldn't have done.

And running away means... pleading guilty.

"Don't let them get away with it! Grab no one left!!

The Knights, who heard the order, move to capture the sons of the adventurers and nobles who are fleeing simultaneously.

Claude had also escaped, but had been captured by the captain himself.

"Ha, leave!! Rude! I'm telling you to let go!!!

He suppresses a few rampaging clades and restrains them with rope.

I remembered when I saw Claude being taken, shouting and scattering.

"Oh, they said bad things about the house. I owe you... I couldn't pay you back. and ho."

The long game thus closed the curtain.
