Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

The first aristocratic inn of my life.

Chandeliers made of crystals, cute tables with cat feet, a fuzzy futon sleeping table on beautiful wallpaper with floral patterns. Leaks out the feeling that it's the best.

Mr. Leezelotte, the Marquis's maid, was used to asking the concierge to put water in the bathroom.

Amelia glanced over at the unfamiliar room, seeming to eventually settle on the bench. Lately, the bouncing power has increased a lot.

Deputy Berley was widening the map and looking at it. Tomorrow, they're going to act as carriage drivers.

We each take a bath, and after a lot of bickering, we go to bed.

Amelia came next to me and was getting round.

This, when I grow up, I can't sleep with you. I'm terrified of war.

For once, you ask me if I can't, so I'll be fine, though.

"Well, good night - whoops!

If I was going to go to bed, I'd stand on my pillow and look envious at this one (?) The appearance of Mr. Lieselotte pointing.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Accompaniment with Eagle Lion (Griffon), Uraya Masi"

"Mr. Liezelotte?

You returned it to me here, Mr. Liezelotte, who takes two or three steps back and dyes his face bright red.

Apparently it was unconscious behavior.

"Hey, it's nothing. Good night."

...... yeah. You love phantom beasts so much that you forget me.

Don't point it out.

Early the next morning.

I'm going to see the sunrise I promised Mr. Zara. The perimeter was dim and the corner light went out into his hands.

"Que!"

Amelia is in a good mood in the morning. The footprint is also light.

"Mel, isn't it cold?

"I'm fine."

I thought it would be cold, so I put my clothes on.

Walk to where you can see the morning sun.

Climbing up the ramp, up the stone stairs, you go out to the open place. I built it for tourists, it seems to be high ground.

Is it because it's cold? No one was coming to see it.

View the horizon on the lake in the dark. It was spreading and had a somewhat suspicious atmosphere, but there was a strong wind and it flowed somewhere. Ho for now.

And finally, the sun peeked into his face and his surroundings grew brighter and brighter.

"Wow!"

The sunlight beautifully illuminates the lake.

The lake and the sky, like a mirror, stained with orange. Really beautiful.

"Que - Que Que!!

Amelia rings. My eyes were sparkling. Apparently, phantom beasts are also touched by beautiful things.

Zara was laughing when she saw how excited she was.

"Sorry, something's going on."

"No. Good. Sounds like fun."

Stand still until the sun leaves the horizon.

It was fantastic, so beautiful a view that words could not describe it.

Thus, when we see the sunrise, we return to the inn.

Though early in the morning and sleepy, I was glad to be here.

◇ ◇ ◇

Continue on your journey to the Karkkuk Wetlands. Lieutenant Berley holds the carriage's reins.

Guys, don't get along in the car! Keep it in mind. If there's a fight, there's no one to arbitrate. If that happens, I'll have to scream "I'm disturbed ~!" too, like Urgas.

Gatagotto and the carriage go down the street. Inside a sinister car.

............... Well, that's awkward, isn't it?

Lieutenant Berley was a sobriety for the Second Expeditionary Force.

"Oh, you know, Captain Ludtink"

In that situation, Mr. Liezelotte speaks to the captain. Courageous.

You don't have to, I'll keep an eye on you while you're annoyed.

"What?

The captain's voice to return can only be described as grumpy.

He asked for help with his gaze when I wanted Urgas to arbitrate, but he probably shook his head to the side.

Mr. Gal is looking out the window with a sinister face, and Mr. Zara was polishing her nails with a yasle.

I, like Lieutenant Berley, wouldn't be able to crack in and in between successfully.

So now we can't do anything.

In a subtle atmosphere, Mr. Liezelotte continues his conversation.

"I came all of a sudden and thought I was sorry"

"It's too late."

Ahhh, the way you say it! He was even tongue-in-cheek! Gala, that's too bad!

There would be some more far-fetched expressions. The captain's words are direct.

Fortunately, Mr. Liezelotte was not frightened.

"I'm sorry. I'm reflecting. I can't see my surroundings."

"You're not the right knight for the job."

"Yes... but I feel like protecting the phantom beast..."

"It is the people that the knight protects. It's not a phantom beast."

They're all tough words. But it's not a mistake.

The captain and Mr Liezelotte felt once here that we should face each other properly.

"Then I will fight too. For the people."

"It's like taking it and putting it on, that's nagging determination. By the way, have you had any experience fighting demons?

"Although not"

The captain put his arms together and hummed his nose.

Mr. Liezelotte dyes his cheeks bright red and looks remorseful.

I'm sure, if it had been her before, she would have complained. But I've been patient for a long time.

If you're wondering what to do, there's just a help ship.

"Captain, why don't you make a trial period?

It's Zara.

If they come with this expedition, they'll suggest you admit it.

"This time in the wetlands, it's a terrible environment with moisture and mud, and I don't think noble ladies can stand it."

If I didn't make a sound, I'd say it's a big deal.

"Well, you are. If it's not just your mouth, I'll admit it."

Because of the challenge and receipt from the captain, who speaks with the most frightening face, Mr. Liezelotte returned his words to speak of determination.

"... ok. I'll never give you a sound."

Mr. Liezelotte was in tears. I felt bad that I didn't have to hunt him down so far.

But if you put yourself in the knighthood in a half-baked mood, you're in big trouble. They're all fighting for their lives.

Maybe what the captain is saying isn't just a harsh word.

I think you said that because you know how aristocratic women are.

Then we arrived at the Karkkuk Wetlands without a word of conversation.

It was a very awkward word.

◇ ◇ ◇

Shit, it was foggy rain.

It's not as cold as I assumed, but it's jittery and quite uncomfortable.

A vast meadow stretches out in front of you. Among the wetlands, this seems to be a place classified as a peatland. Peat is the soil in which plants break down incompletely and accumulate.

Anything, you think peat is flammable and can be dried and fueled?

Try to step on the peat on the ground. It contained a lot of moisture and was elastic and bumpy.

I see. In this terrain, horses shouldn't be able to walk.

The carriage was placed in a nearby village and walked this far.

Amelia is taken by the mud and looks uncomfortable. Did you need something like shoes?

Then we all set up a base - a tent.

Even if I spread the rug, I'm worried about the ground getting guttered. I'm worried that the supporting bones won't sink.

Once the base was complete, he left me and Amelia and Mr. Liezelotte to go to the cannibal lizard extermination.

In dim wetlands, left behind. That said, I'm always alone and leave a message, so it's comforting to have someone.

"Okay, let's go find some ingredients"

"Huh?"

"Que?"

To my suggestion, Mr Liezelotte and Amelia, who round their eyes.

"Why do you do that on purpose?

"To eat a delicious meal."

I get the gaze that I can't believe it.

"And because I'm free"

It's a waste of time for everyone to go on a monster crusade.

"Amelia will go with you, won't she?

"Que!"

"What about Mr. Liezelotte?

"If the Eagle Lion (Griffon) is going, I'll have to go too"

And well, this is why I decided to go find ingredients with Mr. Liezelotte.

Speaking of wetlands, it would be a lake swamp. There must be fish and such living there.

Mr. Liezelotte looked sincerely disgusted. He's a very honest man.

"Are you okay to walk around, demon or something?

"Yes, my ears are good, so I'll run away if I feel any signs"

I told him I wanted him to believe Folle Elf's ears.

reluctantly, he was to accompany me in such a way.

Mr. Liezelotte takes the wand out of the elongated bag.

What came out was a crystal wand with red gems embedded at the tip. The pattern is gold, scattered with fine gems.

"Wow, that's cute"

Praise me, he smiled at me. Other than phantom beast entanglement, it was the first smile he ever showed me.

"Okay, let's change it, we're leaving!

"Que!"

"Let's find it and cut it off."

We move on in the bad foot.

Many times along the way Amelia's feet were taken by mud and she was to be pulled out with Mr. Liezelotte.

Still, it's really hard to walk. Will the captains be able to fight well? I'm worried.

"Aah!"

Screams I heard more than behind my back when I was thinking about it. Looking back, Mr. Leezelotte has stuck his butt in the mud ground.

He didn't look okay, so I'll give him a hand in silence.

The proud wand is muddy too.

"Eh, what can I say?"

Mr. Liezelotte is turning his face bright red and biting off his lips.

I'm sure you're putting up with me wanting to complain. Seems like he hates losing a lot.

"Mr. Liezelotte, I don't even have a captain right now, so you can say a lot."

"Beh, nothing, nothing, this!

Mr. Liezelotte shook my hand and stood up at once.

"Que ~"

Amelia pins the wand and gives it to Mr. Lieselotte.

"Oh, thank you, you, very, very good boy."

Mr. Liezelotte, who received his wand from Amelia, weeps in tears.

I can't believe you're being nice to phantom beasts and crying.

But well, it won't be impossible either. Because it's impossible for a noble lady to be muddy.

Finally we get to the lake swamp.

I just found a copocop and bubbles coming out of the mud on the side.

Take out the knife and dig it.

"Hey, what's there?

"I don't know!

Are the aquatic animals that live in mud - crabs, shrimp, mud frogs, or so?

"Or a frog!?

"Yes, it's delicious."

"Unbelievable."

Zach, if you dig Zach and the mud, the cuttlefish will sound. I boiled the water and sprayed it from the top.

"Ah!"

Take the ingredients you discover. Mr Liezelotte exclaimed that he did not like it.

"Yah! Don't show it to me, I'm scared!

"It's okay. It's not a frog."

"Hey, what's up?"

What I discovered was two large, dark purple shells.

"Oh no... I don't want to eat muddy shellfish"

"This may be fine shellfish."

I've seen shellfish grow in freshwater, sold at high prices.

"I was wondering if Mr. Lieselotte had eaten too."

"Sure, if you ask me, it's like I've seen it in an appetizer or something"

My uncle at the market said so. This is the only two purple shells.

Drop the mud clean with the water from the lake and put it in a leather bag.

If possible, I want to get the whole crew. I was staring around.

"Que Que!"

Amelia, who was right around the corner, rings. Apparently, he discovered the residence of two shells.

If I went to see it, just like that, there were copocops and bubbles.

"Amelia, you're great"

"Que!"

Amelia not only discovers it, she begins to dig the mud. Then came out two shells bigger than what I had caught.

"Wow, that's amazing"

"Que ~!"

What an excellent way to find ingredients. I washed her hands clean and stroked her head.
