The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

Gilbert traveled to a friendly country west of Elatos using a mobile device. Once on the embassy's mobile, cross the border from there. In this state of tension, you cannot enter Eratos directly from your own country.

Rent horses in the city and return them in the city by the border. In the eye-catching alley, I changed the color of my hair. The dirty platinum bracelet still glowed as modestly as a star. Remove one bottle and confirm that it has become dark tea color everywhere.

─ ─ Shall we go?

Grab a shoulder strap and head to the Sekijo. They were mixed up in rows of travellers and merchants trying to pass and waited for their turn.

"Show me your ID"

The vigilance seems to be tighter than usual. Gilbert took the tag from his neck out of his vest and showed it to an official. It is paid for by the state when the people of Elatos travel. Prove yourself to be a citizen, and it can pass through the gates just by showing. Gilbert showed it to avoid being nervous.

"Welcome back. Please come through."

It was copied by the Knights based on the tag of an Elatos infiltrator who was arrested a while ago. The official glanced at Gilbert's sword, raised his eyebrows and tilted his neck, but immediately turned his gaze away.

Gilbert holds the useful tool in his pocket. He sighed small from relief and headed to the nearest city.

Entering the city, Gilbert was stunned by the lack of vibrancy. The inhabitants are not well, and yet only the voices of innocent children are breathtaking in the evening.

I'm looking for a place to stay tonight.

Gilbert called out to the woman nearby. The housewife takes a serious look at Gilbert before wiping her hands with an apron and laughing.

"Traveler? There's only one place to stay in this city."

Pointed fingers larger than other houses

No, but it's a building with tiles falling all over it.

Well, thank you.

The woman grabbed Gilbert's arm as she turned away. Looking back in surprise, Gilbert wondered at the sympathetic expression of the woman and wrinkled her eyebrows.

"Don't look so afraid. However, that inn doesn't have a very good reputation....."

From the arm that the woman grabbed, the video, the audio, and the woman's thoughts are conveyed. Apparently there have been several incidents of theft in the past, and people on the land did not want to use it. Especially the owner of the inn doesn't have any good rumors. At the same time, it has been known that metal objects have been collected by the state in Elatos for several months and that Gilbert, wearing a sword, is suspected of being a privileged class.

"Thanks for the advice, let's be careful. By the way... is this sword so unusual?

I asked with a little smile to make it as intimidating as possible. A woman dyes her cheeks slightly. At the same time, I let go of my hand.

"Ah, eh! Most of the metal swords were taken to the army in Japan, so I wonder if it's one of the greatest..."

"No, I... recently came back here."

I see. If so, please be careful. Metals are precious in this world. "

From what I've just told you, I know that a woman is not a bad person. Then the woman is purely worried about Gilbert.

"Oh, let's be careful."

Gilbert turned his heel and went to the inn where the woman said she was the only one. When I spoke to the owner of the inn, it seemed that there was a vacancy as a matter of course, and he guided me strangely fondly.

"This way, please."

The owner smiles and observes Gilbert seriously. When I opened the entrance door, it was a moderately prepared room. There are only simple beds, desks, chairs, and small toilets.

"Thank you, thank you."

"No, so where did you come from this time, customer?

"It's time to go home."

"Was it the left? By the way ─ ─"

Gilbert forced the shopkeeper to grab the chip and shut him up, and as soon as he got out of the room he locked himself in.

Sleeping alone on a bed is cold. Not to mention holding a sword at night. Gilbert believed the woman's advice, used the most metal at hand, and had an expensive sword at hand.

At the same time, I was concerned about the theft that the woman said. Gilbert would have looked like a good duck if the owner of the inn had seen the guests and ordered them to commit the crime.

Gilbert stared deeply at the ceiling while wearing bracelets and earcuffs with blue crystal stones to prevent disguise. Is Sofia not crying? I wonder if she's safe. The last thing I saw floating with my eyelids closed was my defenseless sleeping face this morning. I feel uncomfortable remembering the marks of my own possession.

"Sofia, I'm sorry."

Move your mouth to that shape, knowing it won't reach you. The poor voice that rolled the bell is not coming back now. Just then, when I felt lonely, the earrings happened to be slightly hot and passed on to Gilbert. Sophia must have used magic tools. It has been told that the location is in the direction of the Marquis.

Gilbert's strong heart softens slightly, knowing that he will always keep the ring he takes off when he goes to sleep. Thinking of Sofia, Gilbert fell into a shallow sleep.
