That Person. Later on…

Down the mountain, continue through the woods at the foot. Demons also appeared along the way, all of which were buried by Salona and the others. I haven't got my hands on anything. Haosui was originally strong, and since I worked out and even used legendary items, there was no reason for problems. Salona and the others also used it to check their weapons against the demons. Seems like he was even attacked on purpose to make sure he was defensive, but just watching the sight is chilling for me. 'Cause my body was held up by Floyd, who wasn't in the fight, after being pushed by Salona and the others to never get their hands on me... and it's not something that feels good to watch no matter how much I know it's okay. The hardest part of such a fight was Tata. He seemed to be actively challenging and confirming his strength as to whether the advice of the goddess of war worked. Well, to be honest, surely the weakest of these members is Tata, but as far as I can tell, maybe even A-rank adventurers can't hurt themselves. I thought you were mentally strong, but you're physically stronger.

As we proceeded to destroy the demons, some armed group was in the woods. I immediately hid myself so they didn't seem to notice me over there. It looks like some knighthood from the gear the opponent's bareback is wearing. Why are you in these woods?

What I found out from the view of the Knights was that there was a group of about two or thirty people, some of whom were taking off their armor and preparing their meals to stir the pan, laying wooden swords against each other, and the three of them weaving their capes with the superior armor that obviously seemed to be above this group were discussing something. The center of the group is spreading traces of coal-fired fires, sleeping bags, everyone's armor is not shining and the dirty areas are noticeable, etc. Thank goodness you have been sleeping in this place for the past few days.

As I watched, Naminissa and Narelina came to me and whispered to me.

"... Dear Waz, may I have a moment?

"Hmm? What's going on? Are we gonna do something about it ourselves? That's just..."

"No, you don't. Actually, there's a face in that group that I saw."

"Oh, I checked, too, but for sure... those knights are the knights of" Marmbond ”"

... Huh? Marmbond? That's the country of Naminissas, isn't it? So those knights are knights serving Naminissa and her country?

"Is that it? But why are the knights of Naminissa and their country here? Besides, it was such a mess... the kingdom of Marmbond was like a rich country..."

"... that's..."

"… there is no longer a kingdom of Marmbond"

"Huh?"

Later, I heard from Naminissa and Narelina that as soon as they left the country to chase me, their parents also left the country with knights and people who would arrive at them, and where it was originally the kingdom of Marmbond, it was now the kingdom of Frebond. When I heard that story, I thought what a light-hearted king he was, and that knights and people were admired for getting to such a king. I mean, trying to force Naminissa and the others... yeah, let's destroy that Flebond family. Let's do that.

"Then those knights..."

"Probably stayed in the country for some reason, but eventually we left the country as far as the kingdom of Frebond was concerned... but we didn't have anywhere to go, so we stayed here for a while, and we were in the middle of exploring where we were going..."

... Hmm... it does feel like that as far as listening to the Naminissas.

"But there's no certainty, and you can't help it if we're talking here like this... you know those knights, right? Then why don't we just go talk?

"Right."

"Right."

"... but let's stay alert just in case we don't know what's going on over there..."

That's how I don't know how to get out over there, so I walk out to the knights with vigilance. The knights, who have confirmed our appearance, will lay down their weapons simultaneously and point their cuts at us. And three of those armed knights came out, feathering fine armor and cape.

"Who is it... depending on how you respond..."

That's the person standing in the middle of the three who spoke out. He was about fifty years old with a stern face, but his face had a bearded and lean appearance, reaching for the pattern of a sword that was lowering to his waist.

"Long time no see, Master Renault"

"Long time no see, Renault's husband!!

This way Naminissa, Narelina comes out in front of me and speaks up. I put my strength into my body so I could jump out at any time.

"... Princess Narelina, Princess Naminisa"

The person, known as Renault, immediately knelt when he confirmed the appearance of Naminissa, Narelina. In keeping with Mr. Renault, the rest of the knights kneel simultaneously.

"You seem safe and above all, Princess Narelina, Princess Naminisa"

"Hehe... there's no more Marmbond royalty, is there?

"So you don't have to kneel to us, you don't have to call me a princess."

"... it doesn't matter if the country is gone or not royal. For me, the princesses are princesses."

Naminissa and Narelina smiled troubled, but delighted, at Mr. Renault's words.

After that we joined the knights as welcome, Salona, Haosui and Kagane went nearby to pick up firewood, Tata and Mao helped prepare meals and Naminisa and Narelina had some discussions with the Renaults. Me and Floyd had nothing to do when this happened, so I helped with the meal. Meal was still distracted by my mind.
