"" "" Waaaaaaaa!!
"Noooo!?
When Kazya and the others entered the castle in the heart of the fortified city to meet the Duke of Lautrek, the castle was overflowing with cheering soldiers and residents of the fortified city who heard of the defeat of the Imperial Army.
"I heard that!! Thank you guys for taking out the Imperial Army!! Thanks so much!!
"Huh? Oh, thank you. Hey, let me through!!
"Which one of you is here?
"Oh brothers!! I'll buy you a drink later!!
"No, that's why he said let me through!!
"Hey, what's this?
"Ah!? Lady!! Don't touch that!! That's a grenade!!
At the same time as the news of the defeat of the Imperial Army, Kazuyas, the victorious actors, had already been known in the castle, so Kazuyas were surrounded by soldiers coming to thank them and by the inhabitants of the fortified city sheltering in the castle, and they could hardly move on to the back.
"Uh, it was in Eli's eyes... Is a thousand years old okay?
"Yes, I can manage"
Having managed to break through the herd of inhabitants, Kazuya and the others finally reach the desired room, guided by soldiers from the fortified city.
"Except for a thousand years old, you have to wait here."
"" Ha, got it ""
- Excuse me.
Put the soldiers of the 1st Squad outside the room on standby, knock on the door of the room and Kazuya enters with a thousand years old.
In the room where Kazuya entered, there were two women who looked exhausted with a black neighborhood floating around their eyes.
One is wrapped in an overwhelming hegemony of what he sees, a thin, supple body and less bulging poverty...... a whispering chest.
And a little girl with her blonde hair rolled vertically behind her...... woman.
The other was a long beauty with long stretched pale hair wrapped in ponytails.
The blonde woman glances at Kazuya, who came inside - the Duke of Karen Lautrek opens her mouth more or less.
"... I don't know who you are, but I'm glad you did. Thanks to you, I was able to temporarily drive the Imperial Army back. Thank you."
In addition to the fact that Karen and Kazuya had met once but were dressed differently from that time before, Kazuya was wearing helmets and sunglasses and she couldn't see her face, and Karen said that to Kazuya in a tired way, thinking only that the person who came into the room was a mercenary unit or some kind of captain who drove the Imperial Army back.
"Oh, no, I owe you a personal debt? just came to give it back. Well, for many other reasons... I'll introduce myself. I'm the captain of Parabellum, Kazuya Nagato."
That being said, Karen's eyes opened wide with surprise when Kazuya removed her sunglasses and helmet.
"Oh, what about you!?
"... Dear Karen? Do you know him?
Maria Broad, Karen's subordinate and wizard, asks Karen that question, who is dewning her surprise.
"Eh, yeah. A little."
It was Maria who questioned Karen's condition in returning a badly toothed reply, but no further questions were posed to the Lord.
By the way, to explain what happened between Kazuya and Karen, Kazuya stayed here for the first two days after Kazuya helped the Iris out of a bunch of bugs in the streets, when the first city to stop was a Nassist in this fortified city collecting the supplies the Iris needed or bringing the wounded to the city's church (treating them like hospitals in this world).
On the second day of that stay, Kazuya and Karen met (in the worst way possible...)
Details will be told another time, but briefly, Kazuya, who had escaped from his troops and strolled the city by himself, who had come alone to inspect the city with patience, had bumped into each other, and the two had taken Karen's lips in the form of a pushdown by Kazuya if they felt overwhelmed by the ground.
Because there was such a happening, they knew each other for once.
……
... I'm so stared at.
Karen was staring at Kazuya with an unspoken look, but when she said what she thought she was, she shut her mouth because she was in danger of being enlightened by her subordinate, Maria, and when she coughed, she spoke to Kazuya and the others in a slightly clerical way.
"Gohon!! Thanks to you, anyway. You must join us tonight because we are throwing a feast to celebrate the victory in order to raise the morale of the soldiers. We'll talk later."
"Okay. But before that, one. I want you to allow us to move freely around the castle."
"... well fine. I'll arrange for free access outside the castle and other restricted areas. Is that all right with you?
"Ah."
"See you at night"
That said, Karen urges the Kazuyas to leave.
"See you at night"
With a smile, Kazuya left the room with a thousand years old.
Kazuya, who followed Karen's room, had received reports of the status quo with each detachment since the age of a thousand in the tent that had become a temporary command post.
"Well, let's hear it."
"Ha, right now, each detachment is continuing its mission without any problems. Each detachment suffered two minor injuries to the second detachment. One seriously wounded and three minorly wounded in the third detachment. Squad 4 has one dead, two seriously injured and four slightly injured."
It's still a lot of damage to the 4th Squad...
"How are the enemy forces?
"We're still surrounding the fortified city, but there's no sign of moving if the damage was significant. Same with the enemy formation again. I was wondering if it would be possible to move for two days due to the reconfiguration of the troops."
"Right...... All right. Tell each detachment to take turns to rest. And gather the wounded here. Because I can cure my injuries with total healing power."
"Got it.... So, your husband?
"Yeah? What, a thousand years old?
Thousands of years old, having heard the order, put a nickel and a black grin on his face and ask Kazuya.
"Take a moment later to see what“ personal borrowing ”the Duke of Lotrek said earlier...... could you please let me know?
I just told Kazuya that a thousand years old wrapped around a black and disastrous aura was a matter of decision.
"... hey. Even when it comes to borrowing, it's trivial. And you owe me like a thousand years old..."
Though an accident, it was Kazuya who decided it was a bad idea and tried to delude herself to know that she had kissed Karen...
"... did your husband go to battlefield for a minor loan?
"Yes, no, that's..."
"Okay, I'll listen to you very carefully later, okay?
……
Falsification did not work at the age of a thousand, and on the contrary, Kazuya, who dug the grave, nodded small at the end, as he had observed in silence.
――――――――――――
Night.
Celebrating a temporary victory over the Imperial Army, a modest feast was held and the citizens were behaved with alcohol and meat, albeit marginally.
From a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of the soldiers and citizens of the fortified city, who floated with alcohol in one hand, Kazuya watched alone (due to what happened with Karen and the “adult" cage she had received by the thousand years old she had heard) as she lived on her pulling and trembling ankles.
Normally, there are no thousands who should be around much longer because they walked away from Kazuya just now because they were wild.
……
And instead of walking away a thousand years old, Karen came silently beside Kazuya.
"Can I help you? Duke."
When Kazuya deliberately asks Karen in a salutation, Karen releases a sharp glance at Kazuya.
"You don't have to talk in that tone right now. Speak like before."
"Really? Then I will."
When Kazuya replied, he gave it back. At the end of the day, there was no more conversation between the two of them, and silence continued for a little while, but Karen whimpered casually, unable to stand the silence.
"... I didn't think the man who pushed me down all over the city and took my lips, who thought I was just a civilian, would save us... You don't know what life is."
"Come on, that was an accident."
"... you, the Duke, and you're going to take the maiden's first lip and do it by accident? I don't know how many times I thought I'd snap your neck back then."
"You're telling me that was bad, right? And that's why I would have come here to help. Borrowing? Or to make amends."
"... wait a minute!! Is that why you're here?
After listening to Kazuya and solidifying like a stone, Karen, who moved out again, told Kazuya with the face that she couldn't believe it.
"What's the reason for that... Well, that's not why I'm here, but the best reason I'm here is to help Karen."
"- Huh!?
Hearing Kazuya's words, Karen turns her face bright red like a boil in an instant and leans her back against Kazuya.
Hey, what is it? This man!? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
In Karen's brain - Kazuya went to the battlefield to make amends for taking her lips and came to help me.
I mean, I don't want me to die until I get to the battlefield where I might die.
= I want me!!
A thought circuit worked like a maiden dreaming of a white horse prince named
"Well, even if they say that all of a sudden, well, even I have something called mind preparation... No, I'm not saying no. But if it's me and you, there's a difference in identity... But whatever you say, I can hang out with you, okay?
Gonyo Gonyo and Karen decided to say so in a tiny mosquito squeaking voice, looking up at Ba and Kazuya as if she were a crimson stained face.
And Beretta asked me to.
But Kazuya didn't hear Karen because Karen was talking to Boso in a voice too small.
"... Who's the woman?"
"What?"
With a woman's intuition, Karen is convinced that the person named "Beretta” who came out of Kazuya's words is a woman, and in an instant she asks Kazuya in a voice with mixed emotions of frustration 6 jealousy 4 when she comes to the truth from the face of a maiden in love.
"Uh... you mean Beretta? A woman who is vice president of the 2nd Kingsguard Knights... I hear my sister is in this fortified city. He asked me to help him. Right!! Did Karen ever hear the name of a girl named Colt Zara?
"... yes. You weren't talking to me."
"... Huh?... What's wrong? Karen......?
When Kazuya answered Karen's question honestly, Karen began to tremble downwards into small pieces.
Kazuya gets a bad feeling when she sees Karen like that.
-Go, go, go!!
At that moment, Kazuya visioned the burning swing behind Karen.
"I don't have to throw up confusing words that make you expect me to! Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Holy shit!! Dull boy!! Park Min-Jen!!
- Dosung!!
"Ghah!?
Karen's aim. Straight to the right captured Kazuya's dovetail beautifully.
Kazuya was unable to react to Karen's sudden outrage, and all she could do was squat and hold the dovetail with her hand so as to rub her head against the ground.
"Hmm!!
Karen leaves Kazuya with a rough nose and trembling shoulders.
"Oh, what did I do?
- Gaku.
Afterwards, what Thousands of Years had seen returning from the wild was the appearance of Kazuya, squatting and not even moving with a pickle.
"Your husband ahhhh!!!???"
Later the sad scream of a thousand years old sounded vain.
