That Ordinary Mister is a War God

15. A Village A Little Away From the Empire

One of the hallmarks of the army's system in the Empire is knights and soldiers.

A knight is a combat position whose routine is to undergo combat training, but soldiers are civilians returned to their homeland after training.

In the Empire, men and women who are fifteen years old are conscripted and each trained.

At this time, the aptitude of witchcraft and spirituality is also confirmed, and what was aptitude is stretched by the guidance of the army.

In some cases, they may be taken as knights.

If you become a knight, you will receive a monthly gratuity much better than living in a village, and if you retire, your pension will be paid until you die.

It is also possible for survivors to receive a pension for a year after death.

It also teaches you simple reading and writing calculations, and makes you remember how to handle injuries.

He or she is also given a favor when enough food, clothing, rock salt, etc. are paid as the price for collecting the crowd.

Because of this, conscription in the Empire is not a "harsh duty" and few ordinary people consider it a "good earner for what it is".

So much so that some of the farmer's second son, the three men, dream of being taken as knights, and sift a handmade wooden knife.

Kyle, a boy from the village of Lubeck, is one of them, about four days away by horse from Teito.

When he was helping the house also waving a wooden knife there alone, a quadruple of young women came through.

"You're gonna be fine, boy."

It is the beast man in the cat's ear who has spoken in a cheerful manner.

She was a small, sneaky, adorable girl, but she had a dagger on her hips on her sturdy skinned chest and wore a small compartment, etc.

"Are your sisters adventurers?

Kyle talks as he stares at his older sister, who has a different dirty impression than the girls in the same village.

Only a knight or an adventurer can think of when a young woman is acting in small numbers and yet armed.

And he decided they were adventurers because knights were bound to wear armor with an imperial crest.

"Yes, it is."

"Tanya, what are you stopping by?

A fellow-like woman speaks to a cat beast man from a remote location.

"'Cause you're a hard working boy, if you see it, you're gonna want to support it, aren't you?

Tanya returns a loud voice to her people.

"Are all the hard-working boys willing to support you? It'll be complicated if Roy finds out."

Tanya swells when a beautiful woman around twenty wearing a big blue hat and the same robe as her hat says so.

"Why would Roy come out there? It doesn't matter if you speak up."

Kyle suddenly came up with a name he didn't know and couldn't keep up with the story, but apparently understood that a cat beast named Tanya had a lover.

(That's so cute, that's about my lover)

To tell the truth, the boy will be disappointed.

I just found out that the first woman I met had a lover, but I wasn't sure why I was depressed either.

The adventurers gently meet him and go to the village.

Kyle's village probably just happened to want to pass because it's peaceful and there's never been any particular problem.

(... When I become an adventurer, can I get to know such a pretty woman?

Kyle thinks.

A boy of his age who starts to be interested in women is so seriously worried about becoming a knight or an adventurer.

Eventually I talked to my eldest brother who came to see how things were going and he laughed a lot.

"Go conscript first before you do. If you don't, I don't even know if you can be a knight or an adventurer."

Kyle thinks his brother's words are good.

The idyllic village has no way of examining warriors or witchcraft talents, and it has nothing more to do with people with eyes that discern qualities.

There comes another man.

Unlike the foursome women who were beautifully shaped and gorgeous, they have dull silver hair with no blue eyes.

He's been around since his early thirties, and he may be the same age or older than Kyle's father.

Unlike the women, the old man was unreliable to walk, and his movements were somewhat sloppy.

"Uncle, where are you going?

Unexpectedly Kyle speaks up.

"Oh. Someone I know asked me to use you."

My uncle answered relaxed.

Sometimes it feels like it's missing between us, and the innate kind Kyle gets anxious.

"Uncle, one? We don't have any demons around here, but we get out every once in a while, like the beast, right?

If you're used to traveling, you seem to know how to handle the beast when it comes out, but the boy wondered what about this uncle.

"No, I used a riding carriage halfway there. That's when I was with the adventurers."

"Oh, my God, you were."

He is convinced by the old man's answer.

A boarding carriage is one of the main means of travel, perhaps the safest one for ordinary people to travel.

Your man knows martial arts, and there are many demons and beasts that don't stop by just that when there are a bunch of people in cabins pulled by multiple horses.

Of course there are exceptional demons, which were not calculated as anxiety material because knights and leading adventurers aggressively drive them away in the empire.

"You were with the sisters who came earlier."

Kyle makes a point.

The boarding carriage is also convenient on the road and only comes quite far in front of this village.

Trying to get here will be on foot, and Tanya, who is likely to have strength when it comes to women, and the old man, who doesn't even have it, will naturally walk at different speeds.

"Oh, yes, I am."

He says to the old man who answers.

"Sisters would probably be okay to pass through this village, but your uncle's tough, right? Going to stay?

"Oh, let me do that"

My uncle nods with a horrible face.

"Well, I'll show you around. Me, Kyle. And your uncle?"

"It's called Bal. Greetings, Kyle."

That's what Bartolomeus says and shakes hands with the boy.
