Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru

Leonard was greeted as he headed to Captain Perever's office.

"How was it?"

"I have an idea and I want to talk ..."

"For the time being, please go inside."

Only Captain Lieber and Leonhardt were in the office. I'm sorry for the escort who followed me, but I will have you wait outside.

Captain Reaver roughly rejects the pile of materials on the sofa. Please, I was shown and sat in the corner.

Maps and materials remain open on the desk. There is a kuma in the eyes of both of them. Maybe he's been investigating all the time.

"So what is the story?"

I was asked again and my throat rang.

"I want to go to the first village again."

"the first?"

Leonhard frowns frowningly.

"I heard that the temple in the first village had been rebuilt."

That's what Captain Lever has heard.

"As you said, the old temple was demolished and under construction, but the village told me that it was originally empty."

"Doesn't it mean that there was nothing left to transfer?"

"I think that's true. But if it was broken, I wouldn't say that it didn't contain anything from the beginning. Shosh "

"So that's it"

Captain Reaver groans with his arms folded.

"So, I thought a little .... I'm just a guess and there's no basis."

"Please let us know"

Leonhardt urges me to speak my words.

"Besides the rebuilt temple, there is another temple, and all that is the object of religion is in it."

"The temple was built for dizziness, so it was empty."

I thought that it was an explanation that I couldn't understand, but I wouldn't understand it.

Leonhard's reading comprehension, fearful.

"If so, what to look for is the forest near the village."

I nodded at Leonhard's words.

"Yes, I want to go as soon as possible."

Before being overtaken by a raptor.

Leonhardt read the parts that were not mentioned in the words. "I'll get it right away," Captain Lieber stopped.

"No, wait! If you go from now on, will the sunset fall by the time you arrive? What about tomorrow?"

"Fight for the moment"

"Oh ... then wait a minute!

I turned my eyes to a sudden offer.

"Well, why?"

"I know Leonhardt's abilities, but the escort of His Highness alone is unreliable.

Captain Perever, to put it simply, left the room in a hurry.

Perhaps you have instructed your subordinates. Then less than an hour. We gathered at the gate of the fort and set out for the village.

A horse's hoof kicking the ground vigorously raises the soil.

The sun was setting on the horizon in the scenic landscape. The sun is almost over.

"Are you okay, princess. I'll arrive soon, so please do my best."

I was looked into and nodded many times. I wanted to reply, but I was scared to bite my tongue.

Raise your face while you are about to lose the wind pressure. At the end of the village, which began to look far away, was a small forest that snuggled up.

It is notable to go through the village, so you should make a big detour.

Look at the flowing scenery sideways. Smoke rising from the chimney and a flock of sheep returning to the hut. The call of birds flying in a row and the sound of lively children.

There was a daily life I wanted to protect.

By the time we reached the side of the forest, the sun had almost set.

"Can you go down?"

Take your outstretched hand and get off the horse.

Stand up with some support from the stagger. It feels like the ground is still shaking and I feel uncomfortable.

"Princess, don't overdo it"

"It's okay"

She managed to laugh, as Leonhardt looked into with a worried face.

"After all, the sun has died."

Captain Perever uses a flint to light dexterously.

The night forest illuminated by the torches dimly emerged.

Leaves sway in the blowing wind. The sound of leaf rubbing overlapped and sounded like a buzz. The shadows of the swaying trees look like a block of big monsters, and their feet shrink. The night forest was so creepy that I didn't want to get close without being scared by folk tales.

Here, the Demon King may be sleeping. There is power to make you think so.

I held my trembling hand and took a deep breath slowly.

All right. I am not alone. Because two excellent escorts are with me.

"let's go"

"Yes"

Nodded at Leonhard's words, I stepped into the woods.

Captain Perever walks first, then me, Leonard-sama, and so on.

The wind blew on the horses and was very cold, but there was another kind of cold in the woods. The air is cold and slightly damp.

Cold. The exhaled breath warmed around the nose for a moment, but soon became white and frozen and painfully cold. My ears and nose seem to be swelling in the cold.

Cold air on the skin takes away heat and heat. Even with gloves, my fingertip sensation has disappeared.

If you don't find the temple early, let it freeze and die.

I don't know if there's one in the first place.

“……!”

Something glows in the corner of my sight as I look around as I go deep into the forest.

As I took a breath, I stopped, and Leonhardt, who noticed it, asked.

"What's happen?"

"I feel like it's glowing now"

Captain Lever illuminates me with a torch.

He looked into the rocky area, nodded and looked back at me.

"Oh, it's moss. It looks like it reflects light."

Captain Lever said, and when he looked at him, he saw that he was lit by the moonlight, which was slimly inserted through the trees. I exhale a breath of relief.

I thought for a moment that there really was a fairy.

Even if a young child enters the forest, he is equally surprised and is likely to escape. I was impressed by the fact that folk tales use the natural traps well.

But it's not the case right now, and I'll quickly tighten my mind.

"I'm aiming for the center of the forest for now, but which side is it ..."

"I do not understand"

"That's right ... Isn't it better to be brighter?"

Captain Lever is right.

But for some reason, I can't stay still because of the frustration. I don't think it's the news of an insect, but I'm nervous about my chest.

"I want to look for a little more."

"It's smart, but let's do it for another hour."

"one hour……"

"Beyond that, you will be frozen. Your nose is red."

Pointed to Captain Perever, I hurriedly held my nose.

I'm ashamed. Red-nosed reindeer is cute, but I'm just stupid.

"Princess"

Call back and look back in an unnatural position while holding down your nose. I want you to understand the maiden feelings that you don't want to show your stupid faces to your favorite people.

I raised my face, and I was surprised that Leonhard's face was near.

He turned his hand around my neck and wrapped something around me and me. It is a scarf-like cloth that Leonhardt used as a cold protection.

"It's cold, but please do a little better with this."

Leonhardt is shy and shy.

I couldn't understand what had happened, and I got stuck holding the muffler with both hands. No way, such an event like a girl manga happens to myself. Is this really real? You've fallen so much in the cold and aren't you dreaming too, right?

I buried the lower half of my face in the muffler, and I almost smelled like Leonhardt and almost fell. Yeah, nosebleed.

"Don't hurry, let's hurry ahead"

"Well ...!?"

In the words of Captain Lever, who is amazed, I open and close my mouth like a carp.

"No, even if I'm not shy ... it's dangerous!"

Lever Captain's expression strengthens in an instant. My arm was pulled and I was embraced in my chest.

What I saw in Captain Reaver's arm was something spectacularly flying. A slender knife pierced the dead leaf carpet and shimmered dullly by playing the torch flame.

Leonhard who jumped out pulls his sword.

Leonhardt immediately knocks down the knife that flew with the sound of cutting the wind. Kin, kang, and a continuous hard sound.

The knife flew from a different direction. In other words, there are multiple enemies.

Is it really surrounded?

Thinking there, my spine was frozen.

Even in the dark, even the enemy's figure cannot be seen. As your imagination expands, the number of enemies increases in proportion. The fear of death was imminent, and my body shook.

"Ernst! Go ahead !!"

Leonhard shouts.

Captain Lieber hesitated for a moment and ran up holding me.

"Leo, Leon!"

"I will catch up soon!"

Lean and reach out.

Being swallowed by the darkness, the important person's figure disappears.

"Leon ...!"

I feel pain as if my heart was squeezed in fear that was not the same as before. The back of my throat made a crunchy sound.
