Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
190. Eve Before Crusade and Expeditionary Food
One way, a whole day on a horse, the Demon Crusade Squad was coming east of Wang Du.
He said a giant spider appeared in the boarding district along the street, by the lake that serves as its source of water.
Demon Crusade Squads were called because the city's guards and adventurers were out of their control and could not manage the water.
The arrival was too late in the evening and a tent was erected from the lake on a meadow that would be windy.
Early tomorrow morning, I plan to crusade after I see my feet.
"I want to be home by the night after tomorrow..."
Wolfe, that's all you've said since you left King's Landing.
"Totally."
Drino and Randolph laugh bitterly at Wolf, who lays down his golden eyes and sighs repeatedly.
In the tent, all three had leather bags of wine in their hands.
"I have a welcome party and a get-together at the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce. As a guarantor, you want to join us."
You should have taken a break.
"No, I took three days off the last time, so I can't rest that much"
"You say that, but you've never taken a voluntary leave before. I think you can take some more."
In retrospect, since enlistment, Wolfe has taken little voluntary leave.
I can remember enough of the period specified by the injury and my brother's wedding.
As for the voluntary one, this may be the first time that I have rested in Marcella's consultation.
"Vacation preferences are allowed until the twentieth day of the year. We should match the rest of the crew and take more Wolfe. The season is good, so why don't you go on a sightseeing trip outside Wang Du?
"Outside the Wang capital, I often go on expeditions..."
When I was a kid, I never went outside Wang Capital with my family since I was raided when I went to the territory.
I would go all over the place on an expedition, so I never thought I'd make a trip.
"Hey, the expedition wasn't a sightseeing trip, was it? Don't choose the woods where demons often come from or the mountains where materials can be picked up."
"If it's Darya, I feel more happy about it"
"... well"
"... right"
Dahlia is somehow incorporated into the tourist travel companion.
Wolff didn't realize that Randolph and Dorino were having a lukewarm glance.
The buckwheat and the cloth blocking the entrance to the tent sway. Apparently, the wind has gotten a little stronger.
It's dinner time now, but unlike the recent expedition, it's quiet stuff.
"Tomorrow is the crusade of the Great Spider... if it's the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) or the Big Pig (Big Wild Bore), then a little more people, I guess, have been motivated"
"You've never heard of eating a giant spider. Can you eat it?
"No, you don't even want to try it in the first place"
It is the dried meat in black bread that opens the oil paper and begins to pour each.
Today was a late day and became a previous expedition meal.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten, and you're biting again."
"We've been eating this..."
"Humans, it's easy to get used to luxury. And it's hard to go back..."
I chew the long time black bread and dried meat in the first place and pour it in with wine to keep it out of my throat.
"Looks like the Second Knights finally got their tents set up. I hope we can have a meal. Is this okay?
"I don't know. I can only hope you don't get stuck in your throat."
"Even if you grab it, you'll be fine because there's a curable magic wizard."
There are five tents with red cloth on the entrance, a short distance from the tent of the Demonic Crusade Squad.
Inside are the Second Knights Deputy Commander and twelve Knights.
Demon Crusade Squads are not very strong in the Knights' interpersonal mock.
Because people don't know how to add or subtract from demons because of the low amount of interpersonal training.
For this reason, we do not see power within the Knights, and sometimes they insult us.
Some of them can crusade demons more efficiently if it's easy to fight demons - some say that in the shadows.
The Second Knights Deputy Commander is one of them.
Out of the Marquis, he is also said to be the next Second Knight Commander, and his arms do stand. A knight is brilliant enough to slap his opponent with a long sword in a simulated battle.
But I've never actually fought demons.
The other day, the captain, Grate, took the day off at a relative's funeral.
Griselda, deputy captain, attended the budget confirmation meeting that day on his behalf.
The absence of a grate and the seemingly warm participation of Griselda must have made my mouth loose.
At the end of the budget confirmation meeting, the Second Knights deputy chief said:
"Isn't the Demon Crusade too scurvy to spend on an expedition? Shouldn't they have shortened the expedition a little?
The commander of the Second Knights stopped in a hurry, but Griselda took a short consultation with the deputy commander.
'We want to shorten the duration of the expedition, but we're worried about how to fight demons efficiently'
I don't know how Griselda then proceeded to talk to the Second Knights Deputy Commander.
"The Second Knights Deputy Commander responded to my consultation and lent me twelve of the Second Knights' elite knights, and offered to participate himself. The name is Demon Crusade Experience, and in fact, it's a much appreciated story to have you here to help and educate your team. This time, the Demon Crusade Squad is good for our tour, so let's give it up."
Before the expedition departed, all the crew silenced on the cold smile of the deputy captain explaining so.
Most of the newcomers looked blue at that intimidation that leaked like fog.
Griselda, deputy captain of the Demon Crusade Unit, is usually very calm and calm.
However, as far as the crew knows, there are three things that break it.
I. Those who joked during training and combat.
II. Those judged incompetent/unmotivated.
III. Large reptiles and amphibians.
Those who joke during training and battle will soon be grand preachers after being washed with water magic all over their bodies. It's the path that an accidental newbie passes.
The next person judged incompetent/unmotivated shall be considered basic and non-existent. Repentance makes it possible to salvage it, but it seems to be quite enjoyable.
And Griselda's reptiles and amphibians to avoid.
Large reptiles and amphibians, especially forest serpents (Forestrasnakes) and big frogs (Big Frogs), are annihilated when they enter his sight. There is no addition or subtraction.
It should be noted that the other day, when the forest serpent (Forestrasnake) appeared, the person was isolated so that Griselda could not be damaged enough to become dry.
I guess you're angry that they took a lighter look at the squad this time. But the opponent must have endured because of the Second Knights' deputy commander - many worried about Griselda that way while he was on the move.
However, over time, I understood Griselda's thoughts in turn from the older crew.
Travel by horse from Wang Du to here, from morning to evening. Running a horse on an evil road is tricky and accustomed.
The break is short and we need to take care of the horse and make sure he's in good health.
Lunch chewing black bread and dried meat with limited water or wine, and then dried fruit on horseback, while traveling even.
Even a familiar move for the Demonic Crusade Squad seems to have been accommodated by the Second Knights, who often operate in the Royal Castle and the King's City. Gradually, the mouth count became smaller. I didn't hear any weakness in the boulder though.
When we got to the camp, it seemed clear that we were exhausted, but it is also a job from here.
Much has to be done, including checking perimeter safety, caring for horses, setting up lookouts, setting up toilet locations, tidying up and tenting on your own.
The guardhouse and others were contracted by the Demon Crusade Unit, but the Knights of the Second Knights were struggling with their tents untouched while they were grassy.
Exactly, I started to wonder if I should strain him instead, or if I could help him, and Griselda sneerily went to "Instruction" on how to strain his tent.
The meal does not use an expedition stove, it is a previous expedition meal.
The Second Knights will also be bringing in some, but is it therefore satisfactorily eaten?
And will I get tired this evening in the unfamiliar camp?
As time ran out, a slightly sympathetic gaze turned towards the tent with a red cloth.
"I knew it wouldn't taste like just black bread and dried meat... I think I just stuffed it"
"Drino, do you want Kraken's dried food?
"What's in your chest pocket? Give me that."
Drino, who received the dried food from Wolfe, begins to give thanks.
Then Randolph took the larger package out of his bag.
"I brought dried potatoes, do you want some? Sweet."
"Thanks. That's familiar, I used to eat it when I was a kid. Where'd you get that?
"Rossetti Chamber of Commerce. Before this, when I came to the squad, I was advised to tell them if there was any sunny sweetness. He said it was a childhood snack."
"... yes"
"Wolfe, tell me, Lord Ivano."
Explained before he heard it, Wolf wrinkles thinly between his eyebrows.
When I coughed lightly, I opened the bag myself and took out the water bottle.
"I brought East Wine (Azumaki), do you want a drink?
"No, I brought distilled liquor. Why don't you have a drink with Randolph?
"I have brought it in myself. Honey pear liquor from Lower Town."
It was a small glass bottle that was removed from the bag. Inside was a cut pear with booze. Sneaky shades like honey as it is look sweet to see.
"Randolph, couldn't you have been a fruit liquor in the aristocratic city?
"Fruit liquor is preferred in the lower town to those in the aristocratic district. Strong sweetness and intense fruit flavour"
"Sure, it's an aristocratic neighborhood, so it doesn't mean there's something delicious..."
Dorino turns his attention to Wolfe, who said he was stingy.
"You remind me of this bastard, Mr. Dalya, who fed me again. So, what did you eat this time?
"Salt-grilled Silver Knife Fish (Gintogi)"
"'Lower Town Fish'? Wolf, didn't you like that one?
"Overcame. With fish soy, radish grated and lemon, it was amazing. The gut was good too."
"That's a good combination..."
Everyone gets a little farsighted and exhales thinly.
Even though I was drinking, I felt my thirst increased by a step.
"Can we talk about this or something? You're eating, and you're starving."
Drink the dried potatoes and the dried potatoes in a dish, each of which brings in the liquor.
Perhaps even the surrounding tents are sneaking in to drink their brought in liquor. I'm talking low.
"Do you want to rest early today? It's off the stove from noon tomorrow, so you can eat the good stuff."
"I have to clean up the big spider first thing in the morning."
"That's it. It would be nice if the Second Knights just cleaned up..."
"Drino, you should stop making hopeful observations."
"Anyway, I want to be home by the night after tomorrow..."
Sighing chatter ensues at the source of the Magic Lantern.
Outside, under the starry sky, the autumn bugs were starting to sound.
