Sevens

When we arrived in the village of Zioni, it was Griffon, not Hippogriff, who was waiting.

He is the demon who leads the hippogriff and is also an elite opponent in the Knights.

I didn't know we had an opponent like that. We Expeditionary Troops...

I'm discussing the future with Mr. Clark.

"Can you ask Mr. Norma to persuade you?

What matters is command.

The ancestors said it was possible for us to deal with this alone. But then it's not as funny as the royal palace nobles think.

We're discussing it behind private houses, but Mr. Clark gives a difficult look.

"It's hard to say with clarity. I've never set them up before, and they..."

I hear all the bad rumors, Female Knight Norma.

I saw how I was fighting too, but I also understood that you would hate me for that.

He's looking good, so he wants you to be more calm and commander-like.

The third generation that speaks low...

"Shall I go crisp?"

I also agree with the fifth generation.

'An incompetent commander puts the whole thing at risk. Doesn't even look lucky...... here in the stream of honor death'

These guys are scared!

I ask Mr. Clark, who looks difficult, how the knights and soldiers are doing.

"Mr. Clark, what do you think Norma would do if he found out there was a Griffon at this stage"

The biggest trouble is making a scene, and getting away with it.

If you do that, you'll have to be a thief to lose your way.

Mr. Clark shakes his head to the side.

"Some people look lightly at hippoglyphs. If it's bad, get away with it, it's good and try to knock it down and give it a name... no, it's hard because some places are looking at reality. If I can get away with it, I want to get away."

Unpredictable, I could understand.

When that happens, the whole thing comes to life.

The ancestors, who have become serious, listen to Mr. Clark and make an immediate stop.

Fourth generation says.

"Lyell, shall I take command?"

I opened my eyes a little.

Seeing how I was, Mr. Clark reacted to Vikri's body.

Scared is subtly hurtful.

(I wouldn't struggle if I could take it away...)

I'm an adventurer, and my opponents are knights.

Whether the seventh generation doesn't hate adventurers as much, or from the knights' point of view, it's not strange.

It's not a famous adventurer or mercenary regiment, so it's not even central at all.

Second generation says.

'... Lyell, I'm going to go talk to the village chief. Shall we talk to Norma from Clark? If you want to run, ask them to run. Hey, it's your turn.'

That was the fourth generation I was entrusted with.

'You should use it flashy at times like this... from the number... should I have five hundred gold coins in all? It hurts not knowing the price of a griffon, doesn't it? As I ask Clara...... no, shall I sell it to Central? Sounds like you can buy it at a price. All right, Lyell -'

The fourth generation seemed to have fun. I liked saving money, and I had an image that I didn't like using.

"- Shall I pay you a piece of gold per goblin? Then, the oak and the neighborhood are in five gold coins. The Hippo Griff is fifty gold coins and the Griffon is a hundred gold coins!

The reward is broken.

(You use it boldly when you use it)

If you think so, the fourth generation...

"The target is over 700 gold coins!

- Again, it was the usual fourth generation.

(This moneymaker)

I ask Mr. Clark to persuade Mr. Norma.

"Can you tell me that Griffon is here? If you doubt me, you're skilled, so you can prove it. And there's talk from me, so the knights will get together."

Mr. Clark remains with a difficult look on his face.

"What are you thinking? There's no point in collecting them in one place and attacking them all, is there?

I look anxious. Did they think to abandon themselves and make an assault on us all......

That's all they said, and I decided to laugh.

Confident.

Otherwise, they become anxious.

(With that said, it's been since Darion...)

Smile and tell Mr. Clark.

"I'll take command. It's okay. When it's over, it's all yours and the prostitutes'. Expect rewards for griffon exorcism."

With that said, Mr. Clark was pounding his mouth.

Sixth generation says.

'All right! Stop right there!

I say with my hands on Mr. Clark's shoulder.

"It's okay. I'll take it to the best possible situation. I want to see the royal family rejoicing. I didn't expect the Expeditionary Force to return and bring in the Griffon… let's walk through the gates and align the boulevards of the King's Capital"

Mr. Clark's face remained blue and felt like he was about to blow a bubble.

"No, the royal palace... even if they say triumph..."

I go on.

"We troubled the truncated royal palace nobles and we handled ourselves...... why don't we ride?

When I got a serious look, Mr. Clark was worried.

He seems serious about it, so I guess he thinks a lot.

And drop your shoulders.

"... if the story is true, there is no chance of survival. But how do we take down Griffon? When it comes to preparation, there are just a few crossbows."

Your ancestors rejoice when they hear you're bringing a crossbow.

The second generation.

'This knight is capable. I want you to apprentice a little bit.'

You must be saying something to me about being unprepared.

"I'll show you. In front of everyone, though."

I broke up with Mr. Clark and I walked out under the village chief.

I was looking for the village chief, and I find him giving instructions to the villagers.

In addition to helping set up the tent, he had asked the village residents to prepare meals.

Everyone has a dark look.

Second generation says.

"A hundred man expedition unit in a small village. Then there are nearly forty inhabitants of the village, or... it's not strange to despair. Besides, the expedition is a useless gathering."

(... That said, in the second generation, the Walt family still had some settlements, in the form of villages)

The first generation cut open and followed the barbarians.

It is, in a real sense, the second generation that has laid the foundations.

Compared to the first generation by the inhabitants, he is the one who shaped and planned to grow the village, even if he complained.

The third generation said he was just doing his job as planned for such a second generation.

I'm giving instructions. Speak to the village chief.

"May I have a moment?

"Huh? Oh, yes. What can I do for you, knight?"

They say knight, I laugh.

"I'm an adventurer. The knight who joined the expedition asked me to join him. Can I talk to you for a second?

The village chief had a disgusting face.

I guess I'm busy.

But you can't back off here.

When a small bag containing silver coins is removed from the pocket, it is handed to the village chief.

Looking at the contents, the village chief was to tell the young man who was nearby to "leave for a little while" and listen to him.

(I just gave you the money)

Fourth generation says.

"The power of gold is great. If you think about the future of this village, it must be hard not to have it at all. '

When you come to a place where you and the village chief can talk, I'll see what's going on.

"When they sent us out of Central, we heard the demon was a hippogriff. Are you sure?

The village chief opens his eyes.

"No! This one properly wrote the name 'Griffon'! Some of the villages saw that in the nearby woods! How could you do that..."

If you ask, the deputy seems to have escaped and not come back.

Sure, if I hear of Griffon, I want to run.

"... are you running away? You abandon this village."

The village chief looks at me with an impatient look.

But I smile.

"No. I'll get rid of it. I just have something to think about too... that captain. I'm a female knight, but there's something about you that I wish I could take down even if there was damage. It hurts my heart that there will be damage to this village, too. There, sir."

"Oh, there?

"You will cooperate, village chief. It's okay. Defend the village too and defeat Griffon. That's all. I just don't deserve a commander."

"... tell us what? And if they find out about that up there,"

The superiors will be the deputies and those who manage the area.

The village chief looked afraid that he might buy Central's wrath and be destroyed by humans… by the knights.

"Don't worry. I've already talked to my deputy. If you disagree, the captain fought a fine battle for honor."

I'm saying it myself, and I feel bad about it.

Then the village chief was looking at me.

"... what do you get in return? If you fail to do what you've done so far."

If you fail, you will die, but your primary purpose is......

All I could think of was Mr. Ralph's face.

If he thinks he's a serious father, he's a hell of a feeder.

On second thought, he's the one who lives as a court nobleman.

"There are people who are a little unforgivable. I'm in Central, and I want him to hurt me."

"Ha?

I did a favor to the village chief, who gave me a look like I understood.

(Something, don't hate knowing the world step by step)

As my ancestors told me, when I finished the planting, I headed under the Nowems.

- The private house where Norma was taking a break.

In an empty house with no more owners, Clark is being reprimanded by Norma.

"You think it's a griffon? You idiot, take the rest of the day off. Say it! We are here because the Royal Palace has asked us to crusade Hippogriff. Take what such a suspicious adventurer has to say... that's why you can't be born!

Clark, scolded by a female knight younger than himself, continues his explanation with patience.

"But it's too weird for anything, no matter how much. That adventurer has skills, and you can prove it... you know it means a lot to knights as well as adventurers to expose their skills"

To say Lyell proves it with his skills means teaching him his skills.

Informing someone you don't know about is risky, even if they're not adventurers.

You noticed that, Norma gets a subtle look.

"Assuming it was a griffon, it's not our job. I'll be back in a minute! Bring that adventurer! Prove your skills and we'll pull back like this!

For Norma, I want a handle, but my life is important, too.

If you think it's dangerous, you're leaving.

(If we put out that cowardice in a more preparatory phase...)

Clark regrets it, but explains if he escapes.

"If we run away like this, we cannot live as knights as cowards. Even if Griffon proves what happened, you can blame him for running away all the time. Besides, aren't you familiar with recent rumors?

"Rumors? What, that's"

Norma looked like she really didn't know.

Clark remembers.

(Shit. this girl...... she was also smoked by her coworkers)

Hastening to emerge Not much, the kind of norm that sees its surroundings as an enemy has few allies.

No, you should tell him he's not here.

She is a young female knight who has repeatedly taken possession of her hand and has emerged.

The perimeter is full of enemies.

(Right. I guess that's why they chose me. I was chosen as such a guy's deputy, can't you tell me about people too)

Depressing Clark explains the rumors at the Royal Palace.

There are too many houses for nobles and knights.

Therefore, we need to reduce the number of people.

We are chosen for that face.

"Even if it were a griffon, it could be blamed and downgraded. If you carry that all the way to the stigma, you will no longer live as a knight..."

Norma screams when she hears it.

"Duh, what's going on! Why! Why, I'm chosen!

Look at the confusing norm, says Clark.

"Please calm down! How do we get a victory out of this situation now?"

"Victory!? Are you stupid or what?! If you can fight a Griffon opponent and win, I'm not a ten horseman, I'm a hundred horseman...... no, you must have been a thousand horseman! Calm down in this situation, etc."

Seeing the werewolf norm, Clark thought he was no better suited to the commander than anyone he'd ever assisted.

At the same time, it's understandable that if you fight under Norma like this, you lose.

Excellent as a single knight.

If you'd looked around more, it could have been possible for a thousand horseman to do what she said.

Then...

"Captain! Deputy! The inhabitants are gathering! An adventurer hired by a guy who says Marcus or something tells you to come to the square! Plus, the residents didn't see the hippo glyphs, they saw the glyphs... what's going on!

"Do you want to seize it? Clark shook his head to the side of the knight.

Look at the confused young knight, Clark says.

"Let's go captain too. Gather them all."

Either way, there's no escape.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to win by taking command.

(You bet on that boy...)

Clark was still worried...

I was giving a speech in front of a village resident lined up in the square.

I didn't want to.

However, he spoke from his stomach and continued after the voice of his ancestors.

This is the sixth generation in charge.

They gathered the inhabitants of the village and complained that they needed their help.

But even though it was for us, we weren't all on board.

So, speak as the sixth generation said.

'All right, look at the kids there and say it! I wonder if it's okay for them to feel sorry for their parents and grandfathers.'

As instructed by the happy sixth generation, I say.

"Do you show pity for your own children? My parents and grandfather want to be laughed at for being a hipster who escaped the demon! You want to be scorned for not even taking revenge!

Using gestures, I scream on the porter dressed in equipment that looks good in my possession.

A voice rises from the inhabitants.

"Oh, there's no way we can fight!

"That's right! Even if I regret it, I have the power to fight... so I called the knight."

"Even the deputy escaped! You'll get away with it, too!

The voices of the inhabitants were heard, and knights and soldiers were gathered around them.

There are even those who are in a hurry to prepare to escape because they did not know Griffon was there.

I think it's too late to run. Besides, if you run away, it's not a lot of life waiting for you.

I wonder where we're going, running away from Central.

I use magic when I pull through a servel and point a cut at the sky.

[Limitburst], a first generation skill, was used for flashy use.

To go flashy, I'm deliberately letting part of the square open.

I used magic there.

"Thunderclap"

Sometimes it was a cloudy sky, thunder sounding and lightning the open places.

A fierce noise echoed around him, and even some of the inhabitants sat up and trembled.

(You scared me, didn't you? Or do we get this far?)

I hold the sabel on my shoulder so I don't get anxiety, I say pale.

"Hell if you run away. Hell even if it stays. Then... we'll have to fight."

It occurred to me that the sixth generation was looking around while nibbling.

"The knights are gathering. I have already planted it. Lyell, it's coming from here. '

I continued my speech so that the sixth generation would continue.

"To Central...... abandoned by the royal palace, there is no way to be crushed here or become a thief. Don't you regret it? Are you satisfied with the news that the people who are waiting for you to die in the royal palace have been wiped out? If you survive, you will be laughed at as a coward, and if you escape, you will be disgraced as a knight. Soldiers, I guess, but it doesn't matter. Always laughed at and despised...... you guys, are you satisfied with that?

Everyone's gazing at me.

I used magic flashly, and some of them looked at me with frightened eyes.

He is not the stupid son of a nobleman I showed him in Darion.

Now as Lyell, I am giving a speech on this occasion.

who are looking down.

Those who fall from their knees.

Various, but with the look of everyone giving up.

"... back here and slaughtered by the royal palace guys. Then give us a big name, and we'll be killed. Those guys, they'll be happy. But you don't want to see them regret it anyway."

Someone speaks up.

"I regret..."

I go on.

"Defeat Griffon. Save the village. Do everything and triumph over the king's capital! We're a huge celebrity. Nor can the nobles of the Royal Palace reward the heroes who defeated Griffon. I'm sure the bard will sing about us in the king's capital. Maybe they'll sing all over the country. Be heroes and triumph, we stand before them in dignity! It's the best revenge. Get it, get the money! Get it, status! Get it...... everything!

Among the inhabitants, several young people rise.

And there was a voice from nowhere.

"Oh, I'll do it! I'll get everything! This is where you end up!

Then I get up again with two people.

When that number increased, the knights and soldiers were also up.

From above the porter, Norma, the captain, and Clark, the deputy captain, were looking at me.

"It's a big battle for a generation. Defeat Griffon and he's a hero. Your family will tell the story, too!... Win this fight and get everything!

Many rise and raise their voices.

"You want money!

"" "Oooh!!" "

"Do you want status!

"" "Oooh!!" "

"Do you want honor!

"" "Oooh!!" "

"Then fight! I'll let you guys win!!"

Residents, knights and soldiers scream and applaud.

Most of all...

"No, I knew Sakura was important at times like this."

The third generation rattles at the end.

From the beginning, those who stood up and agreed were prepared here.

Sixth generation says.

"It's important to plant it. When you look at magic and you're just surprised, you'll whiten it later. '

That's true, but I feel something's wrong.

And the fifth generation is looking at me, Mr. Norma and Mr. Clark, so they're telling me.

"Well, if you grabbed my heart, you'd be profitable next."

Profit - profit. In other words, it is gold.

After the speech, I had the village chief line up the desk I had prepared in advance in the square.

And ask Mr. Miranda to flip the box he carried over it.

Five hundred pieces of gold were prepared from the inside, piled up like mountains.

Surrounded by Aria, Mr. Marcus, and the threesome that helped Mr. Bread not to be taken away.

Nowem and Monica were writing paperwork.

Shannon has Monica's created sign.

"Oh, hurry up because it's heavy..."

"You really don't have the strength."

I tell everyone while I'm stunned by Shannon being a pull.

"If you want to fight under my command, I'll give you one gold coin per demon! It's hardened by a certain number of people, isn't it? The commander was paid separately. The leader of the most defeated group will be rewarded separately."

On the sign Shannon holds, ten gold coins at its best. Eight at number two. Five at number three - that's what it said.

"Even a goblin is a piece of gold! Five gold coins for an orc or an orga!

Hearing that, the soldiers and knights were looking at the gold coins and drinking the gokuri and spit.

And to the inhabitants...

"If you're going to help me, I'll give you a reward. Women are welcome, too. Miscellaneous for cooking, work is like a mountain"

Colored dwellers.

Second generation says.

"After all, when you have a reward, it's different."

The fifth generation also says.

"Visible rewards are important. It turns out to be better, 'cause the words alone are not motivating.'

When I saw him, I realized that my perception was sweet again.

Some people have difficulty getting it, even if it's quick money for me.

I don't call the people who are imprisoned at the moment bad.

But I understood what your ancestors wanted to say.

"I'll write you a contract. Pay well, too. Even if I lied to you, you can charge me later."

Then one of the knights raises his hand.

"Oh, um... I have that letter"

I say.

"They're all the same papers. Check with someone who can read it. Those who want to sign a contract are in line."

When Mr. Miranda slipped in the gold, Mr. Clark came to me.

"Mr. Lyell... a little bit better"

Behind it, there was Mr. Norma.

Everyone's gaze is gathered in the norm.

I rented the village chief's house and I was talking to three people, Mr. Norma and Mr. Clark.

With regard to this exorcism of glyphon, is.

But it wasn't what I expected.

The seventh generation is frightened.

'What a guy. Well, that's better than getting you rammed. It saves you time.'

As for me, I was glad I didn't have to get my hands on Mr. Norma. On the other hand, I had myself stunned.

Mr. Norma, facing across the desk, has a serious look.

"I mean, this command is ultimately mine... and the fruits are mine."

I'm negotiating with a serious look on my face, but from the beginning, this one doesn't need honors in Central or anything. It just gets in the way.

If Mr. Norma can't, I was going to ask Mr. Clark to come home with all the credit.

"Captain, that's the way to put it"

When Mr. Clark interrupts, Mr. Norma says off.

"It's important! Griffon, this is a triumph! If you fail, it's his discretion. I have no disadvantage whatsoever!

Given the current situation, there are probably fewer disadvantages.

Norma can't escape either.

But even if he fails to die, it is the battle death of honor that he fought and died.

Fifth generation says.

'... you can appreciate switching your thoughts instantly and not sticking to them. Just stay out of the way. "

I nodded.

"If you can follow these instructions, all credit goes to you. However, please also report on the work of those who participated. You know what happens if you don't do it, right? Everyone here will be your enemy in the future."

You understand on the boulder, Mr. Norma was snorting, too.

"Wow, I know. Write that the report had a handle on everyone! If that's how I can be born..."

I leaned down and left Mr. Norma with a dark grin, and I saw Mr. Clark.

"Is that okay with you, Mr. Clark? As far as I'm concerned, I want you to follow me."

Mr. Clark, sighing, shakes his neck to the side.

"If I don't approve of command from here, the captain will kill you all. I'm just fine for what I've worked for. If you can write the facts in the report, follow me."

Hearing that, Mr. Norma laughs with his nose.

"An idiot. An honest man sees a fool."

That's what they said, Mr. Clark, he groaned sadly.

"Yes, maybe"

As soon as the command issue is cleared up, I have work to do, so I'll leave the scene behind.

(Honest, or...)

Mr. Clark also accepts bribes.

I set it up to do so, but I'm not a stubborn, serious person either.

But he was someone I couldn't dislike.

(Why were you chosen for this expedition?

I just had to wonder.

If the royal palace said it was good for anyone, it would be until then.

Back under the Nowems, there was something wrong there.

In Nowem's troubled face, neighbor Monica finishes her contract one after another.

The other person was a child.

"I want to fight too! Your father is dead, and your mother is the only one, so I have to fight..."

The boy with short brown hair was a bumpy head.

It wouldn't have even reached ten years old at my age.

It's solid, but the boulder Nowem has also turned it down.

"I'm still young, so how about helping the village? And even if I say I'll fight..."

I guess the reason I'm confused is because they're serious.

He has a serious look and is desperately appealing.

"You can't have that age on a boulder."

When I say that and try to get close, the third generation is not the usual cheerful tone.

"... you look like your brother."

Seriously, it was a simmering voice.

There's a mixture of sadness, and the second generation...

'You look just like me. Voice, appearance... and that straightness'

A nostalgic second generation tone.

The second generation says I'm worried about what to do.

'Hey, Lyell... you can take care of that kid a little. It's really just a little bit better, will you look at it?'

I couldn't disagree with the squeezing voice of the second generation.
