Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
12. Return of the Knight
North of the Wang capital, the royal castle is surrounded by vast white, high stone walls. Not vivid, but built with defense and convenience as a priority, it was a place to remind us of the times ahead.
"Wolf! Glad you're alive!
"Lord Scalfalot, are you all right!
"You're not a ghost!
As soon as Wolfe crept through the giant stone gate of the royal castle, she was screamed and mocked by dozens of demon crusader troops waiting in the wet. There are even those who lost their way and kicked behind their knees.
Demon Crusade Squads include some noble knights and some civilian knights.
There are differences in identity, but every time is a life-threatening task, and the overall bond is stiff. There were more who worried about each other personally, not as a result.
Behind the troops were also figures of knights, soldiers, maids and other women watching at a slight distance.
They each came to make sure Wolfe was safe.
"Sorry for your concern!
Wolfe apologized with a loud voice around him, remaining attached to his companions.
Wyburn took me away for a full two days.
Some members of the Demon Crusade Unit were taking turns searching, but they said they were almost given up.
In three days I was told I was preparing for an honorary funeral, and even continued to apologize.
"Wolf, how did you get back?
A friend of the squad grabs his shoulder hard and asks.
The wound there was completely gone, thanks to the potion I got from Dali.
"I stabbed Wyburn in the stomach in the air and it fell as-is"
"Don't be pale about being too reckless! What happened to Wyburn?
"I made sure he was dead, and then I strengthened myself and ran to the street. From there, people helped me, and thankfully, I was given a potion, and I was given a lift to the King's Capital."
"Good for you. I really don't think so this time... everyone was worried..."
The blue-haired friend raised her face vigorously as she snorted.
"Anyway! Glad you're safe!
"Really, I can't believe Lord Wolframe and Wyburn are in it."
"When I saw you carry it, I thought it was hard for a colored man."
"I was convinced that Wyburn was a female."
Troopers laugh more and more at jokes they can't help.
Wolfe continued to get slapped in the shoulder and head by the crew there.
"I'm going to tell him to contact whoever's looking for him safely. Oh, Wolfe, have you contacted the house?
"Not yet."
"I was taken by Wyburn, you'd be worried. I'll ask the house to use it."
"Thanks for your help."
Wolf finally realizes as he returns his words.
I've been thinking about something else, so I totally forgot to contact the house.
"Whatever it looks like, are you sure you're not hurt anywhere?
"My eyes are pretty blurred with demonic blood. I think I'll go report to the captain and then I'll go to the infirmary. And then I want to take a shower and sleep anyway."
I washed my body in the river, but I haven't used soap, so my hair still smells a little raw.
I felt there was still a smell of blood in the clothes that only washed water.
"... not good, I could smell demon blood on my coat"
"You said I should have it cleaned up in the castle... hmm? That coat, it's not a supply, is it?
"Yeah, they lent it to me. A sand lizard coat."
"Sand Lizard (Sandrizzard)? You're not at the collar of the fold. Let me see."
A friend of mine with a narrowed eye made Wolf take off his coat. Turn over and stare, sighing loudly.
"... a sand lizard (sandrizzard) on the table and a Wyburn skin on the back. What a luxury, normal, reverse."
"Well, it's not the same as the Scalfalots."
"No, I owe you this."
"Where are you going before you go back to the castle? Well, if it's a woman I'm dating, I'm sure I'll be there first."
"Don't talk hypothetically about what's not there, it's just annoying."
When the story began to derail, a corpsman from the merchant checked the front and back of the court and told Wolf.
"You should give it back properly. I think it's quite expensive because I cut the Wyburn finely and applied it with grant magic."
"That's right..."
"Wolf, did you borrow this coat from a woman?
"No, he's the one who sent me to the king's capital. He said it was your father's."
"Hey, are you okay? You, you can't complain about being stabbed from that 'father', it."
"Didn't the person who sent me know the price of that coat?
"Could be..."
Behind Wolfe's brain, he looked a little blurry, Dali's face floated.
I was riding, not a regular horse, but an eight-legged horse (Slapenil).
Even after you told me to speak freely, there was no place in the way I spoke.
I was familiar with all sorts of magic aids. Probably the birth of a pretty good merchant.
He didn't even give his contact information and left without receiving a single copper coin.
By now, I wonder if my father, the owner of the coat, is badly mad at me. That's what worried me.
"The guy who lends this coat light, he's noble, right?
"No, he said he was a common man."
"Even if it's a common man, I think it's one merchant or another, his family."
"I don't know your family name, but I know your name, so I'll ask you in a commercial guild. I want to thank you very much."
"You said you were the Demon Crusader, didn't you?
"Oh, I'm explaining"
"One of these days I'll hear from the other side and he might want to be close to you!
A friend slapped Wolfe on the shoulder in a teasing tone.
"I hope so... I wanted to talk more..."
Fluffy and laughing like a dreaming boy with a faint twinkle.
A completely opposite look to nicknames such as "Demonic Enemy," "Black Reaper," and "Made Woman Cry" (Kao).
That look on Wolf's face (Kao), which I have never seen before, solidified my companions.
"Are you okay, Wolf!
"There's something wrong with Lord Volfredo..."
"Tell the captain you first! This guy's gonna get you to the infirmary right away! The evil effects of demonic blood, or a bad beating!
"This is not Wolfe!
Wolfe was then forced to go straight to the infirmary.
