Soul Eater of the Rebellion

About half a month after Miroslav joined the Sword of Blood, a messenger of the Duke of Dragnaut came from the royal capital, Horus.

The content is to send Claudia to you soon.

At first I heard that and shook my head.

We have not yet gotten from fighting Jinbo. It seemed too early for the Duke to decide to let go of her daughter.

The answer to my question was Miroslav, the daughter of the Sausal Company, which is based in the royal capital.

Miroslav taught me the rumors that the firm had picked up in the royal capital.

Ichii: According to the story, the confusion caused by the previous incident has been reduced, and a storm is still blowing in the palace.

The wedding ceremony between Prince Hazard and Princess Saya of the Adastera Empire has stagnated.

On the other end of the spectrum are anti-imperial nobles. Some of them seem to be trying to revive the once abandoned Hazard and Claudia engagement.

Miroslav said that Duke Dragnaut was trying to escape Claudia solely from those politics.

Most humans associate a future marriage when they hear that an unmarried princess lives in their home. A de facto engagement.

It's not usually possible for a Duke to marry an adventurer, but many would be convinced that the adventurer was a rumored knight.

…… From the side, it's a straight line to join the Duke of Dragnaut, me.

Well, it's just "from the side", not really engaged. And if my presence is a shield to Claudia, this should be an honor.

Knight There is no boy who does not yearn to protect the princess.

If you do, one of the assassins may be sent from the radical anti-imperial faction, but then it is only a matter of eating the assassin. Yeah, no problem.

That's why I was preparing to welcome Claudia, but there was one thing I was worried about.

In recent days, monsters have frequently appeared around Ishka.

The adventurer's guild seems to be overwhelmed by this response, and some requests have been brought to my clan.

In each case, they're getting rid of the monsters with Luna Maria, Miroslav, Seal, and even sparrows to gain experience, but the raids are increasing rather than decreasing. This pace of appearance was clearly abnormal.

Habitation Many of the monsters and beasts that appear are seeds for the forest of Titis, and apparently something has happened in the forest.

The demon also appears on the road connecting Ishka with the royal capital, and it is possible that the carriage carrying Claudia will be attacked by the demon as it is.

So I decided to go to the forest of Titis on Clau Solas.

It seems that there is a possibility that a big game that drives demons out of their homes like the previous Basilisk has appeared.

By the way, I decided to replenish the giraffes in case of emergency.

According to the sparrow, Jiraio ox will bear fruit from spring to summer. It would be better to harvest them before they can be harvested.

The sparrow spoke with a modest voice while thinking about such a thing.

"Um, Sora. I have a request."

"Oh, good."

“……? Nothing is still there, right?”

"Whatever the content, I will not refuse the sparrow's request."

Responding with a serious face, the sparrow blinked a few times and smiled in trouble.

As a word I really wanted to say, the sparrow seems to have received a joke.

I'm a bit dented, but as an elder, let's get on with a smile.

Despite my conflict, the sparrow reopened its mouth.

"If you go to get the Jiraiao berries, I want you to take them."

"Well? The forest of Titis is dangerous--it goes without saying to sparrows. Is there anything that bothers me?"

"... I want to see the village once. I'm worried about what the house is like."

Listening to it, I slightly frown.

The village of Kamuna, where the sparrows lived, was adjacent to the rotted sea caused by the Basilisk.

Since I used fire to burn the rotten seas, village houses should almost certainly have been destroyed.

At that time, the sparrows were there, so you should be aware of that-but I understand that you want to see for yourself what happened to the place where you were born and raised.

The reason I didn't say that until today was because I had no intention of bothering me.

I didn't even say anything now-I thought about it, but I heard that it was a forest incident and the sparrows couldn't stay still. If you do, you may never be able to return home.

"--Okay, I'll tell you, isn't Clau Solas awkward to ride? Are you OK?"

A sparrow nodded, "I'll do my best" with a clenched lip, with a clenched fist, when told by Crow Soras that he would be in a bad mood. cute.

"That ... Gefugefun! Then it's fine! It's like I'm clinging to me!"

"Yes!"

The sparrow responded loudly to my whispering whisper of a strange thing.

◆◆◆

Then I, along with the sparrows, straddled Clau Solas, and came to the top of the cliff where the king of the fly nest was.

On the way, I noticed several times about the size of the two bulges felt from my back, but until the forest of Titis came into view.

Right now, I was standing on a cliff, and I didn't even have a bit of a feeling.

"... this is again"

Looking down from the cliff, there is no significant abnormality in the sight of the forest. For example, we couldn't find any obvious change, such as the spread of rotting seas as far as the eye could see.

Nevertheless, it is clearly "funny".

The reason is sound. From the whole forest, low roars like the rumbling of the earth spring up. In response to the sound, roars appeared to appear from all over the place, which seemed to be monsters.

The painful screams that sometimes mix are probably the voices of things that have been defeated in a battle between demons.

Regardless of dwelling or territory, it seemed that a monster, a monster, and a monster, a monster, were running around in the forest. So, when you encounter another demon, you're attacking instantly-otherwise it won't be like this.

Frenzy. Such words come to mind.

Even when the Basilisk appeared, it did not go this way.

A sparrow standing next to her comes close to her body. For sparrows who have lived deep in the forest for a long time, the situation seems extraordinary.

I tell myself to myself, that I haven't done it.

To be honest, I didn't think Titis was so crazy. Sparrows are dangerous, as if I were alone.

She was assured that she was a request for a girl who rarely asked, but the sparrow should have been left in Ishka.

Take it back to Ishka right now-when I thought so.

The soft feel of the left hand wraps around.

When I saw it, the sparrow was holding my left hand with both hands. The light that appeals to the pale red eyes is appealing silently, "Please take me."

After a few seconds of silence, I exhale a little.

I couldn't beat these eyes.
