Yes, I've been safe for three years.
There are a total of seven members of the remaining pilots discipline. There are four of us, and the other three are likely to be elected from the second group.
In a classroom that brings even fewer members together, Gazzle instructors are standing in front of the table to continue explaining the upcoming out-of-town expedition next week.
"Have any of you ever been in the wild before?
To the instructor's inquiry, it was just me and Leila who raised their hands. Well, naturally, all the rest of the members are aristocrats. Parents can't possibly allow that. On the contrary, some of them must have never been out of this town.
Besides, to the extent that I did it a few times when I came to this town even when I said Nojuku, the members of the Armunale squad did most of the cooking and watching. It's not something I can be proud of to say that I helped out somewhat.
Only Leila is practically experienced in the wilderness.
"On the actual battlefield, Nojuku and others are normal. Therefore, we ask you to experience it as well, to experience what kind of movement to make, how to use the tools, the harshness of the watch, etc. It's just annoying when people say it's my first time in action."
Surely all this would be the fastest way to learn for you to experience it. Just because you've studied on your desk, it won't be all the tools you can use easily.
Besides, it's possible to light a fire with simple magic like ignition, but you have to keep putting on firewood to keep burning. The importance of manpower should stain you.
"The period is about three weeks from the beginning of next week as planned. Divide into two groups and have each move in a carriage. The squadrons are always stuck, okay?
The instructor also realizes that the second group is not very motivated. Leila and the others have gradually begun to master the manual controls, which has further opened the gap with us. I have taken classes because I was able to advance in three years at a time, but I give up half the time and so on. Probably like this every year.
In the meantime, are we going to go through wild boarding in our usual group while we go for a place of destination?
Well, the place where it was meant to be...
"About a week each way, the destination is Jakarta. So let me see how the knights on the front line are doing and give them a tour of the maintenance."
Jakarta is a big city just east of the kingdom. It has a magic liquid (Maggia Liquid) production plant and a storage tank for concentrated magic liquid (Hymaggia Liquid), and is equipped with Armunale maintenance facilities.
Further east from here, through some small towns and villages, there is a buffer zone with Obard, beyond which is the Obard Empire.
The buffer zone is the full battlefield, and Jakarta will never be the battlefield, but it is here that the Armunale on the front line returns regularly for repairs and replenishments.
Here, you will certainly feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, without taking so much risk.
"After the tour, have them come back to this town in the same carriage. If things go well, we'll be done in two weeks and a little bit. I'll take the rest of the day off, but if I'm late for my appointment, I'll pack up the rest of the class."
That's what I said, niggling and grinning gazzle instructor. To that smile, the look on everyone's face tightened.
Well, even though it's a packed date with training and study, if it's packed further, you could die. Everybody's gonna do their best.
"Do you have any questions? If not, that explains it. Everyone, take it seriously."
'Yes!'
Well, then, I'll have to figure out what to do in the free time I can use over there.
Take Jakarta's guidebook out of the bag and I'll start thinking about where I'm going.
Traveling, you know? Yeah, it's a school trip.
Not long after, the day of departure. The rendezvous time is with the sunrise, but I came to the gates of town a little before that.
"Good Morning"
"Good morning. You're always the first to come. You're the second rare one."
"Teacher, Eldo is only quick when Almunale is involved."
That's what I'm saying.
"Don't blur..."
By the time I arrive at the gate, Leila and the three instructors are already waiting, and both carriages are available. The horse was not yet connected and the side of the carriage was stacked with luggage.
"Is this our luggage?
"Yes, when they all get here, I'll check their luggage, and then I'll have you guys load up. It's all training from there."
"I see."
If you become an Armunale squad, you'll have to do the loading yourself to some extent, even though you have a support maid. What better way to load it, how to fix it, you mean you should actually try and remember that as well? Well, this kind of thing should be easier to remember than just asking for an explanation.
As the sunrise approaches, the other students gather in turn.
And Battis and Leon showed up when it was time for the rally.
Battis' hair is blurred, and her usual husband has no open and refreshing atmosphere. And Leon is already tired for some reason.
"Morning, what's going on?
"This idiot slept with me. I've never been out of town before. You must have been so excited you couldn't sleep."
"A child..." "A child."
"Wow, that's good because we made it."
"If I hadn't picked you up, you'd have been late."
I see Leon was tired because he was causing this idiot to prepare. It's a lot of trouble being childhood friendly. If this were a woman, there would have been some love comedy expansion, but unfortunately we're both men.
With that said, how is Angus, my childhood tame? It's already been two years since I told her I was leaving as soon as possible. Maybe he can do something else he likes. He's already seventeen, too, and it's not a strange year to be married.
Oh, think for yourself. My heart will do it again. You're just so straight liked, you can't possibly not like it. Think about the future. What a great thing to say. I hate it when Angus goes out with someone myself. Funny, haha...
I squeezed the pendant I got from Angus and looked up at the sky in the direction of the village.
"Eldo, what's wrong?
"My childhood is getting better. I was just wondering."
"Was that Angus? You're not gonna send out a letter or anything?
Letters in this world don't have specialist deliverymen. Ask the merchant who stops by the village to give him the money and deliver it to him.
"Sometimes I thought about writing. I put the blank paper in front of me and my sleeper attacked me..."
Even I, naturally, have tried to write to my family and Angus several times. But with tired in class, tired in sword training, tired of studying to the point of criticism, with blank paper in front of you, you are struck by intense drowsiness and always fall asleep.
At the time of repeating it about three times, the letter gave up.
"Sure, when I get back to the dorm, it's hectic. Writing letters can be hard."
"Besides, it's hard to find a merchant in this town once a month or not."
"That could be difficult indeed. But you're worried, aren't you?
"I don't know. He's surprisingly active, so maybe he's in town."
Angus said "not who I am" when we broke up. Maybe he's really here... No, no way. Hey...
"Hehe, if that's the case, introduce me"
"It's just a joke. I'm serious."
"You've all gathered. Then let's start explaining."
Instructor Gazzle called me, and the conversation was interrupted.
Instructor Gazzle, who confirmed that he had assembled, will explain the load. If you finish explaining the whole thing, this time it's a real fight.
"Let's get started. Ask us what you don't know."
"All right, let's get started. Is Battis awake?
"Oops, Leila's ice doesn't work..."
I ordered Battis to use the magic of ice on Leila, who seemed to sleep even when the instructor's explanation began. Simply put, what magic produced pebble-sized ice and just shoots it on Batis' back.
But it seemed to work great.
Let's get you packed.
"First of all, you didn't use much."
"That's a maintenance tool for Armunale."
In order to move around with the same items actually supplied, we have no use for it alone. We also have a set of Almunale maintenance tools and writing equipment for mobile operators (sense boards).
They won't be the first to get off the carriage during the camp or if you don't get to base, so they pack into the deepest corner.
Next, the food, water barrels, etc. can be opened immediately, while the ingredients and cooking tools such as sunny vegetables, bread, salted meat, etc. are consolidated and set aside around them.
On the other side, he placed a set of tools for the tent, spare firewood, stones for fireworks, etc., and finally put the weapon on a place where it could be removed immediately.
The loading is completed after about thirty minutes, tying each with a string to avoid falling on impact or packing and securing with other objects.
"You're so tired."
"That's a lot of heavy stuff. I didn't know the tent frame was so heavy."
"You have so much water. A week's worth, including the spare, right?
When I actually load a load of luggage for one way, I'm amazed at the amount of it. First and foremost is water. The water poured into two barrels is of considerable weight. The three men managed to lift it, but honestly it's not something I want to do more than once. I miss the forklift.
The amount of ingredients. Essentially, we don't procure locally on this trip, so we need to aim for the town while we deliver the food we put on here.
Originally, there are many towns and villages from here to Jakarta, so it is not necessary to pack them so much, but if we go closer to the border, the number of villages will be reduced and the replenishment will be difficult. For this reason, it is a restriction to consider and use food consumption.
The tent employs unbreakable objects using iron pipes, loaded with two types: those that are large enough to allow the crew to gather for meetings and those that, if there are four of them, are likely to be full.
In addition to that, when we put equipment and weapons on board, there was little space left in the carriage. About two people managed to get their bags to sit in a chair change.
"Here we are."
"Well, we're a little behind on the other side for a small number of people. We'll leave when we're ready."
Copy that, sir.
The other group is just a threesome and seems to be struggling with loading. I don't have much luggage for that, but the heavy stuff is heavy.
Then about enough, the second group also completes the loading.
The instructors checked with each of them to see if there was a problem and both were OK, so we finally set off.
"Finally arrived, Jakarta."
The town is roughly the size of Fortran. Only the major cities, with equally disappointing exterior walls, have covered the town and turned it into a robust fortress.
evening in seven days. Group two together, we arrived at this Jakarta with nothing. Basically, Leila, who was experienced in the wild and could cook, took command and moved in such a way that we obeyed the instructions, but that was the right thing to do.
Leila's cooking is delicious, the instructions are accurate, and someone never gets out of hand.
The goal is to make room for the amount of ingredients that will run out tomorrow.
Honestly, what would have happened if it were the three men... I can't cook much either, and those guys confidently said, "Cooking is called cooking because cooks make it" or something. What's that, excuse like curry is Japanese taken from spicy! This is the only time the nobleman has spoken and exploded.
Other than that, there was no particular problem and we were able to proceed as planned.
In other words, no problem can arise in the first place. This is the main road connecting the major cities from Wang Du to Fortran and Jakarta, and merchants come and go frequently. As a result, the soldiers are being rounded up, and all bandits and dangerous wild beasts are being driven away.
Unless we have an artificial problem, it's no different than just a trip.
"Hmm, you're on schedule. I'll show my face to Knights Command once and I'll keep the carriage. Go along the wall without entering the town."
"Okay."
Leon, the person in charge, uses the reins to move the horse forward. Are the other instructors giving the same instructions? The second group of carriages follow us.
As we proceeded along the wall, we eventually saw another closed gate. This one, unlike earlier gates, is made quite wide enough to pass through even the Armunale.
And it is apparently not the town guards who are guarding that gate, but the country's military personnel.
Academy instructor Gazzle Ortiga.
"I have been contacted. I've been waiting for you. Please wait while we open the gate."
"Please."
"Open the door! Open the door!!
When the soldier screamed, the gate, which was closed, slowly began to make noises and open.
The four of us are watching the sight with our mouths open.
Inside the open gate, it was like a base somewhere. On a wide road, hangars lined up. In the back you can even see a building with things like a control room.
If there is a difference, it would mean that all the surfaces are covered with stone. Well, I guess it's reinforced with iron inside anyway.
"All right, you can move on."
"Yes, sir"
Leon advances the horse with a slightly nervous face.
Inside, I don't see a single private house, and on the contrary, I don't see anything like a restaurant. In the distance stands a giant, cylindrical object with a complex scaffold at its feet.
"Are you saying this is land reserved for the National Army?
"Yes, like Fortran, we do not integrate with the town, we set up a base where we can completely separate and carry out inspection and maintenance repairs of the Almunale in one piece"
"I see."
I mean, is this the front-line base of Armunale? Then some of those hangers are lined up with alumnae that we're servicing to get to the front line! No, the Armunale should have a limited number, and not so much. There are two or three planes.
"Your sleeping quarters will be rented here, too."
"So we can't get out of this base?
"No, I'll give you guys a pass later. With that, it is possible to go through the gates that lead to the town side. That's it. I'm not going to let it go to the can."
"Good. Good. Now..."
"It's forbidden to play with women."
"No!? Where does my hoarded greed dissipate!
"Flush it down to the dob."
Leila was looking down at Battis holding his head with a cold gaze. Well, naturally.
"Come here. We're going down."
The instructor made the carriage stop in the building where he said earlier there seemed to be a control tower.
Apparently, this is the Armunale Command Facility in Jakarta.
The second group goes hand in hand, after the two instructors, in a way that we follow.
All the wrong people are mechanics and no one wears Armunale Knights clothes. Are we all paying for it now? But you're gonna leave a little bit of it in base defense, aren't you?
With that in mind, I just glanced around the base and hit Leila's back.
"Hey, take a good look and walk."
"Bad"
Layla stopped because the instructors stopped. In other words, this would be the room of interest.
The instructor knocks and opens the door.
A brilliant room with a bright red carpet.
A sofa or table that looks luxurious, in a chandelier that shines on the ceiling. The walls of the room are decorated with peels and swords, and words emerge saying where they are so wonderful.
But it wasn't the chandelier, the peel or the sword that nailed our eyes the most.
He was a naked mucky bodybuilder with an upper body that kept squatting in front of him.
