Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Not long before the village chief made a scene when he noticed Flora's disappearance.

Flora had left the village without anyone noticing her, walking the streets alone. The footsteps are very slow and unpleasant.

He was in worse shape than he was before, but his condition was starting to get worse all at once, whether it was because he stood up for a long time and moved.

"Ugh..."

My whole body hurts, it's hot. Every step I take leaks a non-voiceless groan and I'm about to fall as-is. From around the village, the consciousness is unclear.

But Flora still didn't stop walking. Because you can't be a hostage to an enemy country. Because if it does, it will cause a lot of trouble to the country.

If you're enough to be a hostage, you should die inhumanely...... But I don't want to die. I'm scared to death. I want to return to the Kingdom of Beltram. I have to go back.

As such, all sorts of thoughts and emotions circulate in my head as I go around, poking and moving Flora's body.

Nevertheless, flesh and strength will reach their limits before strength. I can't move my body. No, is it moving? When you don't even know that...

"Ugh..."

Flora lost the power of her legs and collapsed with dosari on the street.

(... Oh, yeah?

I finally realized that I had fallen when my vision changed and I remembered the stiff feeling of being able to ground myself on my cheeks, either because my sense of equilibrium was paralyzed or because my thoughts were dull.

(Wake up, I need to... I want to see your sister)

Flora thought about getting up, but couldn't. I want to see my sister Christina, but my consciousness is sumptuous because of her tremendous tiredness.

I don't know what to do anymore.

◇ ◇ ◇

Around that time, Rio followed Lucius's footsteps and left the king's capital of the Kingdom of Palladia, to the west of the kingdom -, even near the village where Flora was staying.

(You may even encounter it today as early as possible)

Rio was sure he was getting close to Lucius. Information obtained as a result of an investigation at the Royal Castle has led Lucius to draw a detachment of the First Prince Duran-Paradia and a knight to hunt in a forest in the west five days ago.

Its means of travel is horses. The concrete hunting grounds appear to have left without revealing, but the area of the Kingdom of Palladia is small. If only we knew the direction we were headed and the distance we were traveling for the day, we thought it would be possible to identify where we were going in the interview survey and catch up, and we started tracking.

They fly along the streets, conduct authentic listening surveys in cities and villages that are likely to fall under the category of destination, and gradually crush candidates for allowances or. I had already narrowed down the travel route in considerable detail in the investigation up to yesterday and grabbed a bunch of footsteps that seemed to be it.

Therefore, he is probably already approaching behind Lucius to the tip of his eyes and nose. When Rio takes a small, deep breath with that in mind, he walks over to the inhabitants of the newly visited village now.

The resident man who was working in the fields, when he realizes the presence of Rio with a sword on his hips, turns his gaze to peep -

"May I have a moment? Haven't you had a bunch of knights in this village in the last few days?

Without cowering, Rio asks in a familiar tone.

"... no, uh, in which way?

The resident man looked somewhat wary and asked about Rio's identity.

"I serve the castle. We're following in their footsteps."

And, Rio smiles well in person and introduces himself falsely. The effect is outstanding.

"Oh, oh, I see. Were you from the castle? There you are, for sure. You're looking for a girl in a dress, and you're looking at every village in the woods near this village."

The resident man did not have to ask Rio, but told the story with a pepper. You must think that there should be no disrespect for a castle person.

"... I see. Was it? Thank you for your cooperation."

For a moment, when he opened his eyes, Rio smiled back with a well-deserved grin and thanked him.

(The girl in the dress? Weren't you headed hunting?

I had that question, but it's not one that I get an answer to when I ask the villagers in front of me. If you ask too much of this, you may be suspicious of rejecting it.

"Apparently we're going to catch up safely. We're in a hurry, so now."

When Rio lowered his head gently, he turned his heel and walked out of the village. Traveling straight to an unpopular location, it flies out into the sky.

Villages around these woods.

Overlooking from above, you can see that it's quite wide. It looks like there are several villages dotted around the woods. Nevertheless, if you fly through the sky to find out, you'll be able to circle in less than an hour.

Rio quickly flew off for the next village.

◇ ◇ ◇

And time only goes a little further...

"Search, search!

The villagers were running around the village in general, searching for the missing Flora. In the village square, the village chief awaits a report from the villagers. But...

"... no. I knew you weren't in the village or on the farmland."

And Will and the other men scattered in the village, out of breath, came back to report.

"Then you still went outside..."

The village chief shrugs and peeks at his imaginary face with teeth.

"What makes you think that? Are you sure Master Flora walked out on herself? You were pretty sick, weren't you?

Will asked with a face stuffed with cut wings.

"... Actually, there was a note. Thanks for your help. Thank you."

The village chief clouds his face slightly badly and mouths the facts. The truth is that some of the dresses and jewelry that Flora wore along with the writing were kept instead of gratuities, but I never spoke of that fact.

"What!? So you really left!? How could I not have seen it properly!?

Will asks, and the village chief grabs him.

"Well, I'm just saying that's more likely. I wasn't fit to go out, so I don't think I'm going out. Besides, the crux is how did you get out? I pushed him out, but there must be some reason. Don't you have that in mind?

The village chief elucidates and inquires in an uphill voice.

"I don't know that! If Flora left the village, I'll find the streets!

Will says so and tries to start acting quickly...

"Calm down! The streets stretch from the village to the north and west. There is no certainty as to which way it went. Are you gonna look for me alone? I don't even know why he left."

The village chief rushes to call Will off.

"Still, I guess I'll have to look!

"I'm telling you to think about it for a second and then act on it! You haven't gone that far yet."

and so on, Will and the village chief to start a parent-child fight. Then...

"Hey, is there any chance that someone took him out?

A villager man said.

"... does that mean someone from the village?

"Well, that's what's gonna happen"

When the village chief turns to the water, the man who expressed his opinion nods inexorably. I guess you don't really want to doubt the villagers.

"... the possibility is denied, but I told you there was a Flora write-down. Why do villagers need to take Master Flora out of the village in the first place? Some of them are gone?

"Uh, don't listen to me like that."

The man who expressed his opinion shakes his head and scratches it.

"... but there is also the possibility that we are missing some clues. It doesn't matter if you think of it. If anyone has any idea, report it. It's probably time before and after work that Lady Flora's gone."

That's what the village chief says, he looks around at the villagers gathered around him. Then...

"Time before and after work begins...... Oh, speaking of which...!

An elderly man opened his mouth as he remembered.

"What?

and when the village chief points the water at a mature man -,

"... oh, no, I thought the donner had gone back from farmland to the village in such a time that we all went out to farmland after work. Was there anything out of the ordinary?

That's what the magnificent man told him, and he saw a donner nearby who had been quiet. Donner then trembles bikly and physically. Also -,

"... the donner?

The young men, starting with Will, began to look at the donner in surprise.

Donner can swim his gaze backwards...

"Yes, no. I don't know anything. I'll be right back on the farm."

Shake the blindfold with an upward voice. But...

"... Hey Donner. Why didn't you say you were going to work and break up with us? Besides, you've been breathing for a long time this morning, and it's quiet for a long time now."

Will seemed suspicious and spoke to the donner.

"Beh, nothing, that's not true. I was a little sick with the farm tools, so I just went back to replace them."

Donner answers with a twist and turns that way.

"............... you didn't tell Master Flora about that, did you? So Master Flora..."

"I don't know! I don't know anything!

When Will inquires in surprise, Donner waves his wearing in a hurry. Then...

"... what do you mean, Will?

The village chief, who was watching the interaction from the side, asked for an explanation of the situation. But...

"... Shit, it's nothing. After all, even if we talk about swallowing more than that, it won't be obvious. If Flora said she went down the street, I'd look for you. My dad's trying to disagree."

Will says the bat looks bad, and now it's time to try to give him his heel back.

"... I'm not opposed to the search for anything else. I don't care if you die around the village. I have to. We'll split up and check the streets leading from the village. I'm coming too."

When the village chief sighed and called Will to rest, he himself expressed his willingness to join the search.

◇ ◇ ◇

The villagers then began searching the streets stretching out of the village in general.

Facing each other, including the village chief, Will and Donner, take the streets stretching south and look for Flora. So, some time after I left the village...

"... Hey! Are there people down there?!? Oh, hey, Donner!

As Will discovered his shadowy presence and raised his voice, Donner rushed out of momentum. Will rushes after him, too.

"Dear Flora!

It was still Flora who was falling there. He crouches from a crude clothing like the villagers wear, weaving a thin futon on top instead of a coat.

"Ha, ha..."

Flora's face is red and her forehead is stunned with sweat. The exhalation is also rough. Perhaps the clothes that are coming under the top hanging are also sweaty and surprisingly wet.

"Dear Flora, are you okay!? You said you were sick and couldn't move!?

First, the donner rushes and speaks to Flora. Then...

"Oh, I knew Temeye would...... Out of the way, Donner! Master Flora, are you conscious!? It's me, Will!

Will interrupted and thrust the donner. I lean on my back from a depressed state, and I speak to Flora.

"Ah, uh..."

Flora tried to react slightly. Seems a lot hazy, but he's barely conscious. There, moreover, the village chief and the other villagers came late.

"This is..."

When the village chief looks down at the fallen Flora, he is breathtaking for his poor condition.

"Hey, Dad! Master Flora, I think you're still conscious. We'll take him to the village."

Will ate the bubbles and suggested to the village chief. But...

…………

The village chief doesn't respond to anything in silence. He narrows his eyes softly and stares at Flora's neck.

"Hey, Dad! Shit, hey, I'll carry Master Flora, you guys!

When Will tongued, he called on the breathtaking men around him. The men return to me hah and try to get close to Flora. Then...

"Wait, illness could move!

The village chief stopped the men.

"... what if I'm saying that!?

Will unexpectedly changes his complexion and yells...

"... what are those mole-like marks on that neck muscle? Such remarkable marks, were there when you first came to the village?

The village chief spoke low and cold, pointing softly at Flora's neck. There are black mole-like marks there.

"Ugh..."

When the villagers noticed the mole on Flora's neck, they made her face pull and stiff.

"Ko, this is...!

Will accidentally gets stuck in words.

"Will. You, you knew and kept your mouth shut, didn't you?

"No! I was going to tell you today! At first I thought it was an ancient wound, but the marks on the mole are getting bigger, so I thought it was weird!

When the village chief turned his blame gaze, Will ate the bubble and clarified.

"General joint or muscle pain in high fever. This is all I can say is just a cold, but if there's a black mole, it's not a story. I have some cases that come to mind."

That's what I said, when the village chief comes up with an idea face...

"And you know what!? About the illness Master Flora is having!?

Will asked for salvation.

"... I have heard that one of them has produced a large number of deaths as an incurable epidemic disease. I've just heard it from a businessman, too, so I don't know the details."

"Become..."

When the village chief answers subtly between them, Will and the villagers let them pull their faces and lose their words.

(There should have been a poisonous spider in the woods that causes similar cases, but that spider is nocturnal. I won't be the first to show up in the village... but even if it's the work of a poisonous spider, there's no antidote. There is also the possibility of other unknown diseases. Either way, this won't help anymore. You can't let nobles die in our village, and you can't bring people back to the village who are suspected of contracting an infection)

and the village chief puts the village's position first -,

"... we're going home"

I urged the villagers around me to return to the village.

"Become, F, what do you do with Master Flora!?

"... we can't take people suspected of having a lethal infection in the village. I just wanted to say leave it here... but can't we just leave it on the street near the village? I'll take you to the forest entrance."

To the moving Will, the village chief makes a cold decision.

"Oh, hey!

Will was grasping at the village chief if he noticed. But...

"Will! Understand! This is for the village. You mean you don't mind if our villagers die for this nobleman?

"Huh..."

Will will shut up when the village chief drinks him hard.

"... you guys, we're gonna get this over with. Donner, you're the most powerful. Carry it."

and the village chief points the water at a donner who was nearby,

"Oh, I don't like it. I don't want to carry it."

Donner waved his wear like he cowered.

"Shit, there's a solitary (udo) Oki. Then you carry it."

When the village chief tongues troublesome, he orders the other men.

When the men in the village could hold Flora by surprise, they were afraid of the disease or carried her to the forest entrance off the street, like dealing with dirty things.

"... pathetically. Such a sweet girl..."

A young man from a village sees Flora's face in agony and drinks his sauce -

"Stop, stop. I'm sick. It's all right here. Let's get this over with."

Encouraged other youth to handle it in a frightened manner. Slightly, the men throw Flora's body clutteringly toward the forest entrance.

"Ugh..."

Flora's little scream leaked out of her mouth, but it never reached the ears of the villagers who wanted to leave quickly.

(Somebody, sushi, kame...)

◇ ◇ ◇

Then the villagers head right to the village. On the road, when the village chief decides to forget about Flora and that such a nobleman had not come to the village from the beginning, he presses for caution. The villagers looked dark all the time.

And so, when the villagers returned to the farmland of the village, with a certain villager, in the knightly clothes of the kingdom of Palladia, a line of first prince Duran on horseback awaited -

"Ah, that man is the village chief!

The villagers who were with the knights pointed to the village chief in a frightened manner. Then Lucius, a magnificent man, emerged from among the knights...

"Hello, are you the village chief? I'm sorry to push the village to a noisy place. I asked a lot of villagers I met earlier, but they were scared. I was just having trouble talking to you."

And, oddly enough, I've been calling out to you for intimacy.

"... this is the knight. Our villagers have excused us. What can I do for such a peripheral village? If you want to talk, I can show you home."

When the village chief drinks his sauce, he turns to Lucius in a hurry. Lucius looked down on the horses at such village chiefs and villagers, and when he floated a mockery like he had eaten people...

"Yeah, I'm actually looking for people. Didn't the girl in the dress come to this village? His name is Flora. No, maybe he's using a pseudonym..."

and revealed the purpose of visiting the village.
