Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Lesson 38: Through the Valley

Thanks to the special currency stamp. So far there has been no problem.

I could say that the journey was going well.

If you go from the border to a local city about a day away, a convoy sent by the Louvel Argan side from the King's Capital will be waiting, he said.

I put my face out the window.

What you see behind the carriage is a Renault thread.

"This isn't a Renault thread anymore, is it?"

The view is not so different from yesterday.

Well, won't the scenery change gallantly as soon as we cross the border?

View the distant sky.

There were many clouds flowing like marshmallows.

It's stopped now but it was raining this morning.

Rainy smell.

Eyes on the side of the road.

From the tip of the raindropped leaves, Shizuku fell pounding.

A droplet of beads attached to a small flower sparkles in the sun.

A number of puddles remained on the flattened path.

Thanks to the rain, the body temperature is cool.

There was this feeling of cleanliness, and my first impression after entering Louvel Argan was "Not Bad".

The two women keep each other in their sleep.

I moved softly toward your station.

Spent a while chatting with Mr. Lost.

It was a refreshing journey.

I can't believe it's insecure.

To the extent that it seemed so, the time of serenity continued.

But - the clouds grew suspicious around me entering a valley path sandwiched between my left and right by a chopped cliff.

It doesn't look like a place of concern.

I didn't even think it was decent to be a bunch of people passing through.

Said the leading man with the big song knife.

"If you want to get through here, pay the toll."

Shortly after, the songknife man had plucked an insane amount of money.

That's right. I don't have that kind of hand either.

"Right or right. If you can't pay, leave all the carriages and luggage and golden-eyed monkeys here. Then I'll save your life."

Is it the Bandits?

Mr. Lost pulled out his sword.

"You want me to attack a carriage with a special military royal letterhead?

Ooh......

Doss is sharp in his voice.

I was in the mood for a glimpse of Mr. Lost's warrior side.

"It's a special stamp, huh?

The songknife man showed no signs of fright even when the name of the special currency stamp appeared.

"Ha, it doesn't matter. The Kingsguard and the Divine Punishment Corps are too busy to deal with these bandits around the border."

At that time,

"What's up, Crohiko?

Mr. Currier showed his face from the passenger car.

"Ooh!"

The other bandits faded.

"Awesome beauty!

"This guy's been buzzing around for a long time!

"Hey, honey, get him now!

"What the hey!? Are you too scared to move!? Hihahaha!"

Whoa......

Mr. Currier looks really good.

Well in her case, she'd be watching so many times as badly touched people as they are in end-of-life towns...

Somehow, I guess I feel even more now.

It's bad for the thriving bandits... but they're enough people to fear a boss or something in one of the three big organizations in the end-of-life hometown...

"Master Currier? How did it go......?

"Ah, Mia! You don't have to come out."

"Huh? Um..."

Only for a moment Mr. Mia turned up a little.

The bandits get even more tense.

"Whoa! Another one, it just so happens. You're so annoying!?

"Isn't there something else still on there?!?

"Subhuman Neh, show us more faces! Or are you scared and can't come out anymore ~!?

"Ooh! You're not classy for a subhuman! Come out quietly!

Bandits lining up one rough word after another.

The bandits' heady songknife man, came forward.

A crooked knife man flaunting his pessies and blades with a sense of intimidation.

"Oh, my God, why don't you take the upper balls? All right... leave those women here. Right... if you want to give those women away honestly, you can leave them with a carriage or something?

Mr. Lost comes face-to-face.

"Do you like it? I'm sorry...... this number could be a little tricky on my own"

"Oh, it's okay. I'll take care of them myself. Mr. Lost and Mr. Currier, if you could protect Mia and the carriage..."

"Hey, I'm wasting my time talking to Hisohiso, two guys there. No!? It's over now. It's over! Hihahaha! I'll show you the toko where your precious lady gets gutted, and I'll make you desperate! No, the female with the slightest face was a sub!?

…………

"Because it's not worth a lot to sell off a sub! It's totally us, I'm gonna smash you... Kuku, what's with the subhuman? Interpreted, Below Things -, …"

Dossa.

A songknife man fell in two.

In front of him,

"You can't do this because you're a sub now."

I'm standing with the demon sword up.

A few seconds later - the other bandits, hacked.

"Huh? What is it now...? I didn't see you, did I?

"In an instant, in two..."

"When did that guy move... Huh?

In a half-rotated trajectory, wave the knife.

Wind cutting continues.

"Huh?"

Flashing the throats of the bandits who were around the head.

This is what happens because we have all the geese necks.

I was angry.

While I was scattering aspirations that I would never accomplish, I could still get through.

But I can't forgive you for saying that to Mia.

There's a line you shouldn't cross.

I caught sight of the blatant bandits.

A blood-sucking demon knife pulses with dokudoku so that she can rejoice...

"Chi, the blood... stains that creepy blade... and you can't chase it with those eyes. A velocity attack... hey, what the heck... uh-"

From the faces of the bandits, the blood drew simultaneously.

"Ba, bucket of stuff... bucket of stuff. Ahhh!

"An unknown demon living in this valley. Ah!

"Right! It was bait! Those women must be magically created phantom beings! There's no way such a beauty is so real in the first place! Damn!"

"Run!

"I don't like it! I don't want to die!

"No, no, no, no. - Whoa!

Triple penetration.

Like scattering spider children, the bandits left.

…………

Put the knife on the sheath.

Well, can I miss the rest of them?

I don't want to kill.

If that looks like it, it won't involve us again.

Besides, I don't really want to show Mr. Mia the body.

"That's just great, Crohiko. It didn't seem like my turn."

Completely solved the combat posture, Ms Currier said.

That's when Mr. Mia tried to come out of the carriage.

"Master Currier? Will it be okay to leave now...?

"... No, you're not okay. Stay inside. Don't even look outside."

Mr. Currier gently pushes Mr. Mia back.

"Ki, Master Currier...... Huh? There was something wrong outside, so ha!?

"No, I've already solved it"

The passenger car door closed.

I hear caged voices from inside.

"Hih!? hey, why are you blocking my eyes...... Huh!?

"It's a measure not to see what you don't want. Be patient for a while."

Looks like Mr. Mia took care not to look at the body.

Returning to your podium, Mr. Lost spoke frankly.

"But... it's more than a rumor, Lord Krohiko. I didn't know you were too strong without the example curse."

I laugh.

"Compared to the opponents we've been fighting, it's hard to say that the bandits just now are just as powerful enemies..."

"I'm comfortable, too."

Nevertheless, I can move casually too because Mr. Lost and Mr. Currier will protect the carriage and Mr. Mia.

If it were just me and Mr. Mia, I wouldn't have been free to move that far.

The existence of a companion you can rely on.

The magnitude of its existence has been felt in various places.

Recently, even the Holy Monument attack hurt...

"So, Lord Krohiko, may I leave?

"Yeah, please"

Over the course of half a day, we arrived in our first destination, a local city.

Waiting for us to arrive in the regional city of Baraiga was a convoy sent by the king's capital Shuberpos.

"I am the captain of Prince Gears' Kingsguard, called Zeth. Nice to meet you, Lord Curse Forbidder."

…………

Mm-hmm?

It's kind of the air I deal with...?

Keep your hips low and respond to a handshake.

"This is Sagara Krohiko, an AC student... that's your Lost. That's Currier Verstein, also an AC student, next door is Mia Posta, a samurai."

Captain Zeth confirms everyone's appearance.

"Yeah, it's got to be information. That doesn't sound like a problem."

Captain Zeth nodding to his men.

"Then we will accompany you as an escort from here to the King's Capital. I hear you will return here..."

Mr. Lost nods.

"Yes, I will go back to Christopher than this. When the day comes for Crohiko and the others to return, we will pick them up again in this city."

I heard that beforehand, too.

"It was a short time, but thank you for your help, Mr. Lost. I'm glad you're the one."

He was a man of land exploration across the two countries, so he didn't feel half secure.

"I would be glad to hear you say that to Master Krohiko. But it's me, I don't know what to say..."

What's the matter with you?

"We also know that Makina liked you."

"Oh really...?

"Yeah. Anyway, I'll pick you up when I get back to Christopher."

"Yes, thank you"

Captain Zeth gave instructions to his men, anticipating that the greeting was over.

My men start moving our carriage loads toward their carriages.

The number of escorts is nineteen.

Everybody's gonna stand up.

There is an atmosphere of strength based on physical appearance and face.

Hmm?

My men are staring at me...?

I heard a little bit of their conversation.

"That's what killed the Four Homicides..."

"Normal boy at first glance, but those left eyes..."

"Oh. You know, you made your own decision to kill the Four Felonies"

"It's not free stuff."

"Oh. For once, I'd like to cross swords."

Shana must have been the one who leaked the information on her left eye.

It seems surprisingly belligerent even so.

After we dropped off Mr. Lost's carriage, we boarded the convoy prepared by the escort.

"Oh, boy, it's troublesome"

Captain Zeth put his hand on his forehead and breathed.

"Duh, what's up?

"Oh, no... my men seem to be concerned about Lord Currier and the lady he brought. Um, I hope I'm kind of out of focus...... sorry, I'll scold you a little hard later"

"Ha..."

I had a dry, loving laugh.

Continuing with the bandits, it looks like they've grabbed the heart of the convoy as well.

Everywhere they go, those two seem to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
