Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

-Graven Pavilion.

The day after I received a second army reinforcement request from Ninehardt.

Olivia and the others were having breakfast at the Gray Raven Pavilion where they were staying. Because the morning is a little early, or even half the guests are not seated at a table with twenty legs. As Olivia is wrapped around the baked bread, a big woman with a basin in one hand approaches her. This is Anne, the innkeeper.

"Is the baked bread delicious? I baked it for Olivia today."

With that said, I leave the soup with the gobbles and utensils in front of me. The smell of deliciousness caught Olivia's nose.

"Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa! Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Souffs are good too."

"Ha... Major, swallow properly before we talk. You've been souring your mouth for a long time now, haven't you? Or is it not worth listening to me?

"Hey, didn't you have to do that?

Olivia shook her neck sideways at high speeds against Claudia and Ashton on her sly face. Thought the two of you had stunned me again.

"Ha ha. Mr. Claudia is tough. It's not a big inn, so I don't care about manners."

Anne laughs luxuriously as she lowers her empty plate. Claudia uses nafkins and wipes her mouth clean as the innkeeper peeks at her dissatisfied face from the cooking area.

"Thank you for your concern, Anne, but it doesn't work either. As an aristocrat, meal manners are the bare minimum."

"Really? It's inconvenient when it comes to nobility...... but when I think Olivia will be gone today, my aunt will be sad. Because no customer eats rice so deliciously"

Anne says with a lonely smile. Seeing how it went, Olivia answered well.

"Mr. Anne, it's okay. Because I'll be back as soon as I get rid of the Imperial Army. I still have things to do in Wangdu."

Clares explains the situation and asks me to continue looking for the book. I want to get back to the library as soon as I can as Olivia and find Zed clues. To do this, we need to defeat the Knights of Heaven and Yang.

"Let's see. Well, we'll have to prepare a lot of treats when we get back. - But as soon as we're in danger, we'll run. Noble or civilian, there's only one life left."

"─ Hey, how long have you been selling oil? Next dish is ready."

"Yes, sir! - You're a wild man. Then all three of you will return safely."

With that said, Anne returns to the cooking area angry with her shoulders. The sound of a plate cracking sounds along with the two disputing voices in no time. Claudia coughed up one as she took the map out of her nostalgia as Ashton pointed her pulled face at the cooking area.

"─ Cohon. Then I'll tell you about my upcoming plans. First we head to Fort Gracia, the assembly point of the guards. And as soon as the troops are assembled, we're heading from the west route to the Second Army reinforcements."

Claudia crawls her fingers from Fort Gracia on the map towards the central front.

"But will it be okay? Only the number of soldiers is quite good, but the intrusion is to gather. I'm also honestly suspicious that you will listen to this order properly. Moreover, the Knights of Tianyang specialize in collective warfare methods. I think this is pretty bad enough."

Ashton says with a frown root. Olivia also thought the opinion was correct. No matter how many soldiers we have, we cannot win the battle without organic collaboration.

"I think Ashton's point is right, too. But we don't have time to relax and work in training. While we're at it, the Second Army may be in danger of destruction."

"Of course that's true..."

Ashton doesn't seem convinced, and he's definitely yummy. You should give your opinion like a commander here. Olivia picks up her index finger.

"So how about this? If you work hard, you know, books..."

"Hey, not if you're kidding."

Ashton coming with white eyes. As for Olivia, I didn't mean to be ridiculous or anything. Extraordinary. Because there can't be people who aren't happy with the book.

"Ashton, listen carefully. Where man and beast are essentially different..."

"That's right. Olivia, I've come up with something good."

Ashton's face, which blocked Olivia's words, is stained with a lukewarm black grin. I must be thinking this is absolutely out of the question. Claudia must have felt something, too. Turn your surprise gaze to Ashton.

"Hey, aren't you thinking about using the Major?

"Huh? ─ I don't like it. I'm not thinking about that at all. Just."

"Just what?

Claudia closes her face to Ashton Zuzzly.

"Hey! My face! My face is close!

Answer me now.

"Uh. I just can't believe I'm going to have Olivia do a demonstration when the soldiers get together... Ha ha."

"Well, demonstration? What exactly do you want the Major to do?

Ashton turns a blind eye to the unstoppable pursuit of Claudia.

"No, it's not that big a deal. I thought I'd put some straw dolls down and ask Olivia to show off her sword moves. I'm afraid I'll be afraid to listen to your orders."

"Well, do you want me to hear you say it with fear? I see. Ha. Don't think of anything funny inside."

"Ha. You must be. Idead!

Claudia is pulling Ashton's ears with a dry grin. Olivia thought as she covered her face. He said the night fork had finally descended.

"Totally... it's called armor, why do you come up with things that aren't busy every once in a while?

"The armor thing is force majeure!

"K, Claudia. I don't care enough to show you my sword moves."

"Major."

Claudia with grunge and neck spinning as soon as she spoke roughly. For some reason, a few hairs are tangled in my mouth. This is my dream for the evening.

"─ Not really. Ashton, you can never do that. Then I'll be out first."

Olivia rushed out for the soup and drank it up quickly. This never escaped. While telling myself it's a strategic retreat.

─ ─ Central Front

"My lord, the second line of defense has been breached. Soon the Knights of Heaven and Yang will reach the third line of defense."

Captain Reese calls out nervously as he puts his binoculars back on his hips.

"The Knights of Heaven and Yang... I didn't know they were coming through the first and second lines of defense lightly. You mean Dade didn't have the strength to fall the Keel Fortress?"

Brad answers as he stares at the formation diagram placed on his desk. The third line of defense is surrounded by rock walls and narrow roads. Excellent point for interception.

"Aren't you lazy enough to prepare for the trap?

"Yes. As planned, we have multiple stretches of thin steel wire on the path. This should definitely blunt the enemy's legs. Simultaneous shooting by archers from overhead and from the front."

"That's fine. You should be able to earn a lot of time. So, what's going on with the key reinforcements?

To that question, Brad didn't miss Leese's face twisting for a moment.

"According to the information on the early horses back earlier, the First Army will take a while to move."

After all, they're telling us to die.

As Brad slaps his fist in the palm of his hand, he opens his mouth as Reese panicked.

"I don't know what to say in its place, but it looks like Major Olivia will rush to reinforcements as the first wave"

"─ A girl called Reaper by an example Imperial Army... but the Seventh Army shouldn't be able to move from the North?

The report of the destruction of the Red Knights had also reached Brad's ear. I am pleased with that in itself, but at the same time I hear that the Seventh Army has suffered enormous damage. Even Paul just about won't be able to afford to crack a soldier on the central front.

"Everything happened. It seems Major Olivia was staying in the Wang capital. I was wondering if we were in the middle of mobilizing all the guards in the central area."

"It just so happens..."

Brad lights a good cigarette. I don't know how much a girl called Reaper is, but honestly, I can't put my trust enough to entrust the fate of the Second Army. If so, this would be the time to make a decision. Brad laughed furiously, even in the sense of inspiring himself.

"Your Excellency?"

"Captain Reese, just in case, get ready to withdraw, too. Naturally, I'm in charge."

"My lord!

Reese's suspended eyes are shooting through Brad.

"Don't be so angry. I don't have a winning heart to defend my country until I drive you all to death. Nah, don't worry. I'll take full responsibility."

"I'm not worried about that. Huh! I 'm--"

"Captain, this is an order. Repertoire"

Brad looked straight in the eye and said to Reese, who was still devouring.

"... Ha, I'll get ready to retreat"

"That's right. That's fine."

Reese leaves the scene with a heavy foothold when he salutes without force.

"─ There is a country for people. You did say that. Paul's sarcasm."

Brad exhaled a lot of smoke watching the sun set on the horizon.
