The dismantling of the Iwasan snake (Craggy Snake) took place late in the evening.

In order to avoid moving at night, we are camping today at a horse ranch along the street.

I have to alternate the snake-loaded hauler this evening.

I want to exclude Volff, who was the most powerful person anyone could see - but when Dolino entered the tent, he took care of his sword in disarray.

Hey, Volff, it's dinner.

Ah, I'll be right there.

It is a scabbard that is supplied by the team with polite workmanship.

It was not much different from Dolino's sword.

However, it was as if the attack power was different from mine, but it remained like a tadpole inside.

─ After all, if the tip is heavy, will it be effective against monsters?

"Oh, it's quite different, but... there's also a grant."

Darya-san, right? You really are a good magician.

Ahh!

Volff, who was happier than he was to be praised, nodded louder.

Dolino stepped on his narrowness and headed to the dinner table.

There is a slightly crackling fire place near the horse stopping area.

A waterproof cloth was placed there, and each of them decided to eat on the expedition stove.

Leather bags of wine are handed out to toast to the success of the expedition.

And thereafter he began to eat the meat of the roasted, and him that boiled the same flesh in vegetable soup.

Beside Dolino, Volff starts grilling meat in a shallow pan in a wine bag.

Funny, spilling songs are unusual for him.

Kirk notices it across the street, and asks Volff.

"Senpai Volff, was there anything good?" Except for the sword. "

Darya's sword is the only one I know, but Dorino turns the flesh upside down.

It's still a lot of red, but it seems to have been a little too soon.

The son of the cafeteria is disqualified.

"Besides the sword... there might have been a little..."

To a friend who laughed at me like that, this might be the progress of love - I don't think I'm the only one who thought so.

I'd love to hear it, Senior Volff.

"I'm curious."

Kirk laughs loudly and makes his voice even lower.

Even Randolph could hear his voice when he got the black bread hanging from the honey.

"I don't want to talk about anything else..."

Dolino smiles, as the eyes of gold look at us in a bit of trouble.

Spit it out.

Volff whispered the wine from the leather bag and replied in a low voice.

"... they said, 'Cool.' To Darya."

"Oh, that's good!" And after that? "

"Huh? I ate and talked as usual and went back to the barracks."

Tsk tsk! Tsk tsk! Senior knights sitting next to each other on a waterproof cloth, slamming their flipped flesh into a shallow pan.

Many members of the Monster Crusade have good ears.

I think I heard Volff's dialogue - I would have done the same thing if I had been there.

Is that all?

”That's all, when you say 'cool', you're usually happy, right?”

"You've been told to hate that by other women, haven't you?"

"Volff, look back on yourself."

"And apart from that." It's not the same as saying 'cool' to a close friend. "

The facial expression (Kao) is in the early teenage years.

No, maybe less.

"Senpai, then, would you be happy if I said 'cool'?"

"Oh, I'm so happy to be honest with you."

Volff nodded with a faint smile, and Kirk leaned down with one hand on his face.

When I raise my face again, I say to Volff with a sloppy look.

"Senpai Volff, it's really cool. Please stay like this for a long time....."

Don't be a jerk, Kirk!

How did this happen? Even Kirk, who had high romantic experience, looked like this.

The rookie knight next door - Berniji and the others were watching us too, but now with a glass of leather bag wine, "Here's to your youth! 'It is.

Rather, as a senior in life, I would like Volff to advise me.

With that in mind, Dolino tasted the baked meat in black bread.

When the meal progresses to some extent, everyone is moving around and talking.

Randolph started talking about his neighbor's demon sheep, so he was listening with Volff.

But when I suddenly looked next to them, the leather bags of their wine were flat.

Dolino screamed on the spot and decided to bring wine from the carriage.

I will give out wine and dishes to those who seem to be lacking, and take them to the captains who are a little far away.

"Dolino, just in time."

Gert raises one hand and then slaps himself next to it.

As I sat on the warm cloth, I was given a silver water bottle.

"It's a dismantling credit." I don't have a lot, so I'll put it in my throat sooner. "

Thank you very much.

Gert and his senior knight, Gismondo, drank like a thin barrel.

When I gently opened the lid, I smelled a sweet, round spirit.

I can tell by the smell that it's a fine liquor.

For Dorino, this smell alone seems to allow him to drink other alcohols.

Without a glass, tilt the cylinder and pour it into the mouth.

The sweetness of the sake that spreads in a bite, the spiciness that follows, the deep taste that passes through, the heat that lags behind--

After pouring it down my throat, I think I can taste it even when I breathe back.

Even if I have no poetry, I want to say "flower of the great wheel" if I can praise this sake.

I'm sorry to all of you, but it's really good.

When we get back to the Royal Castle, we'll have to serve this wine to Griselda.

While closing the lid of the water bottle, Gert called it a sledgehammer.

This time, the deputy captain, he was waiting for the royal castle.

"Please do so." I left all the paperwork to Griselda-sama. "

Gismondo says with a slightly squeaky face.

Apparently, the Lieutenant is working on Gurt's paperwork.

But the previous Iwayama snake (Craggy Snake) has become thin.

Dolino gave up trying to say it wrapped up.

Iwasan Snake fell in front of Griselda on her return from the expedition.

Considering reptiles as enemies, he relentlessly annihilates them.

It was cut into pieces with a spear, then poured out into the valley by the side of the road with a strong water spell, so that the material could not be recovered.

And the others stopped Griselda, and struggled to appease the frightened horse.

”Nevertheless, it was quite an adventurer who used fire magic to drive so many rocky snakes out of the mountains.”

In the meantime, Dolino talks about the cause of this expedition, trying to change the subject from Griselda.

The neighboring grout nodded shallowly.

"Yeah. She's still a young but skilled advanced adventurer, and she's a woman. He offered to pay for the expedition at his own expense, but Griselda refused and accompanied him to the next Great Frog Crusade."

Accompanying the Great Frog (Big Frog) Crusade, huh?

In the past, I heard that there were troublesome monsters fighting alongside advanced adventurers.

But I've never heard of anyone who took part in the Big Frog Crusade.

"'With such a strong fire magic, the giant frog will be black, and it will be able to burn until you don't know the main body. I'm sure we'll be there soon.”

"... I understand very well"

I just nodded with a smile to Grizelda's tone of voice.

Lieutenant really hates reptiles and amphibians.

This year's Big Frog Crusade is likely to shorten its duration.

Dolino, have you recently raised your magic power?

”-Yes, I did”

Answered the unexpected question to the laughing place with a beat.

I used magic until my magic power was exhausted and drank magic potions. With that repetition, my magic power rose slightly.

The magic of Dolinos was quite common, but it was below average in the Monster Crusade.

Since joining the team, one unit has risen naturally, but since the end of the year, one more unit has been raised with Magic Potion.

"Leave it to four from the original magic power." Break your body any more. Has that been explained to you? "

Yes, I'm here.

"Well, if you're in trouble, just say it."

That said, Dolino honestly thanked Gert.

Beyond that, no one asked who taught me where to get the Magic Potion.

The captain saw the magic power rising from the New Year.

Volff and Randolph seemed unaware of it, but he was the captain leading the team.

Convinced, the senior knight gave him a water bottle and a bag of wine.

"Are you going to Hanazono?"

-Yes.

I will try my best to respond to Gismondo's enquiries.

Hanazono is Aldine's biggest entertainment district. It's a restaurant, an entertainment facility, and a place to play at night.

Of course, there's almost one place Dolino could go.

"Dolino, I won't give you a cure, but keep it to a minimum." There are many reasons such as having a sick family member, debts for medicines, being from an emergency hospital and needing to repair the hospital, and they are often made careless of money. Still, it's often the case that someone else is there and suddenly disappears from the flower town. ”

Gis

Groot shortened his name, but Gismondo continued without changing his expression.

"Hanazono is a city of dreams. Dreams awaken eventually."

"... yes"

There is no other word to return to Gismondo who speaks like an experienced person.

I was told many times around, and Dolino was prepared.

One day, Fabiola, who is a contemplative person, will disappear from the flower town.

I'm sure I won't be able to give you any further contact information.

However, I don't know when this feeling will disappear.

"I want a different dish." Gis, get me a dried Kraken. "

"Okay, I'll get it from the carriage."

Ah, I'll go!

"Dolino, stay here. I want to go around a little bit, too."

Gismondo tells me so, and Dolino sits back down.

Even though the Monster Crusade Squad was loosely related to the top and bottom, it was hard to have just the Captain and two in one piece of waterproof cloth.

Uneasy, the pace of drinking wine has increased.

"Dreams awaken, right?" Don't say anything painful about Jis. You wouldn't think it was a dream in a dream. "

Dolino repeated his inquiries at the singular twinkling of his mouth.

"If I can't wake up in a dream - what should I do if I'm still in love?"

Gert's red eyes narrowed toward him.

That's how I realized what I was going to do with the Captain, but I can't undo what I said.

I thought I had to apologize, but Gert was the first to open his mouth.

"--A long time ago, a young man from a high school fell in love with a flower girl. I don't need a title, I don't need money, I just want to be with you all the time, I want to be the guard of the shop, I really want to be that way."

I can't hear who it is in the low voice and wait for it to continue.

"However, there was another important man in the woman." And it came to pass, at his request, that the woman mingled the king of grass with wine. The young monk, who had even removed his poison bracelet, spat blood around him, but he didn't die. The aristocrats are immune to poison. But if my friend hadn't brought me the guru, I'd be on the other side by now. "

It reminds me of what I was told.

A poisonous weed named 'King of the Grass', as Gurt used to say.

I heard that you were given a drink that burned the gut in the place where you loosened the bowl, but the opponent was unexpected.

"... why did you poison the captain?"

"It was said by the man that it was a sleeping pill. I told him not to come to the store in Hanazono anymore, to let him sleep and go home, and to send him back to the right student. I don't know if that's true."

"Um, who is that woman...?"

"When I got the antidote from the man, I saw him run barefoot for the last time. I heard you were seen in the harbor with a man."

Either he ran away with a man, or he was captured - even then Gert was part of the Marquis family.

I didn't feel like asking.

"It will be difficult to wake up from that dream. But try to look around with one finger. After that, I think it's better than not seeing you, so I pray that the day will come."

Is it okay to shatter it into dreams?

"You will have friends who will pick you up even if you break apart." I was there too, so I can stay here like this. "

It was the first time I heard Gert say "me" about himself.

It doesn't matter whether it's empathy or sympathy because it's a similar experience.

Groot, the leader of the Royal Castle Knights' Monster Crusade, worried about the common people at the lower end. It reminded me of my friend.

Heartbreak is a pain in the ass, but...

If you drink alcohol and cry to your friends, you may be able to make memories with time.

When I mourned my heartbreak in front of my friends, it had nothing to do with my title, my magic numbers, or my sword's arm.

I was able to honestly think that Gert laughed quietly in front of me.

"Captain, if you break apart, will you let me drink this wine again?" Just a bite is fine. "

“Very well, Dolino. I'll prepare it in a jar.”

Thank you!

I was blessed with my boss and friends.

Dolino felt ready for the day, just a little.
