The girl with the fire wheel.

Lesson Five: Gloomy Rain

"Well."

That's what Noel looks back at. Wipe the blood stains on her face with her sleeves and she'll come closer under Cynthia.

"- Kuh."

Cynthia inadvertently lags behind in impending fear. I have no idea what this girl is going to do next. The horror of not knowing what to do is hard to come by. The innocent grin that Noel is floating around doesn't look like something heterogeneous.

I'm not afraid to die. That's what I've always thought. I have slaughtered and killed thieves. But I've never been made to look directly at something called "death” like this.

When I see the bodies of the Neds who have become mutilated, my fear of death springs up even if I don't like it.

"There are three possible options."

"... hey, what?

A milt staring horribly at the body squeezes out his voice.

Milt had never seen a body before. Naturally, I've never killed anyone. This is also the first time it has been an exchange of lives. So I haven't really got my head on the speed of expansion. It's best to understand what's going on than to relieve me of what I've been helped.

"We're talking about what we're going to do. Milt has a lot to do with it, so don't get upset and think about it with me."

"... even if they say so. Why don't we just keep going back to the main unit? I know you're on your way to Rockbell."

The milt twists its neck.

"That's the first option, isn't it? Just don't think choosing that's gonna be a lot of trouble."

"Why not?

"- Now here's the problem. Who killed Captain Ned?"

"... it's you"

"How did we almost get killed?

"Because we heard Captain Ned was from Bahar.... It's troublesome when rumors spread, so keep your mouth shut."

"What happens to us if we go back and talk like that? Will the leader, Master Listig, forgive me?

Continue the conversation as Noel stands back. I can't tell if that's acting or the ground.

He says he just killed three humans, but he's got a floating tone as usual. I can't even feel a shard of nervousness.

"... if what Captain Ned was saying is true, maybe, no, never get killed. Something was wrong with me."

"That's right. So it's not a very good choice to go back to the main unit."

Noel exhales loudly, sitting beside Cynthia as he did earlier.

Cynthia tries to keep her face strong and away, but Noel grabs her cape and doesn't let her go.

"So, the second thing is, I don't think about all sorts of things, and I don't care, I go straight back to the village and sleep. This is the easiest part."

"Hmm. That sure sounds easy"

Not bad. I was originally not active in joining the rebellion. I was dissatisfied, but I wasn't even thinking about taking my sword and getting up.

Then there's nothing wrong with going home if you decide there was nothing. I had no choice but to participate because I was threatened.

"However, if a subsequent rebel finds you, you could be in terrible shape. I have to go back to the village against the flow of the march, so it's remarkable. People know about us, so if they find us and get caught, they'll definitely ask about Captain Ned."

"... don't feel a little bit, pretty dangerous. I told you not to find me, but I don't know any other way. Can't we just go back to the village?"

I've only been to nearby mountains outside of the village. If we try to get back to the village without going through the streets, we have to go down a road without roads. There's not so much money or food, so it's nothing more than suicide.

sure bowl together if you keep the streets straight back.

"Hmm, you're in trouble"

"Don't mess with me. Say the third one quickly. That's the best you can think of, isn't it?

"Yeah. That's right, with this Cynthia, you're going to be escorting Taishou's wife. Because this revolt probably won't work. Then you should get a reward for who's going to win."

- Nah.

Cynthia gets a little carried away by Noel's words. That would be so. Because all of a sudden, people who had been trying to capture themselves as enemies suddenly said, "Now I'm on your side."

"You know, you're easy to say. We're rebels. If I suck, I'll behead like that. I don't like it."

"We just had no choice but to participate because we were threatened. Besides, it was a person from another state who was leading it. I guess if you talk properly, you'll understand. Besides, staying in the rebels might not make you happy."

I turn it down in a chilling tone sometime. It's completely unimaginable from what seems like a retarded statement on a daily basis. Maybe that's what I think because my mind is moving.

"Hmm."

"If you don't like it, you can do whatever you want with the milt. Because I'm going."

"Wow, okay. Then I'll just have to make it a third. But if the lady has to say yes, I don't know."

Milt hastily agrees that he just doesn't like being left behind.

"It's easy then. Slowly drop Cynthia's neck and we'll just run away"

When you say something like this fierce general, you turn to the front of Cynthia.

"So if you promise us our safety and reward, I will help you. What do you say?

"... do you mean to betray them immediately, as long as they have a profit? You filthy thieves, shame on you!

Cynthia throws up uncomfortably. He's regained his composure, and his majesty as a knight is returning.

Noel seems to have arm power, but he had the strong impression that he was a terribly humble person. I'm unconscious that I took the delay earlier, but if I don't lose again, I'll boost my will.

"It's to make me happy, so I can't help it. They're all fighting for it.... So, I'll ask again, but I'll help you if you promise. We don't have time, so this is the last time you're gonna hear it."

Noel picks up the hammer from the hand of the soldier he killed earlier. When I gently placed that on Cynthia's head, I asked her with no expression what to do.

It's easy to say no to what happens. The hammer will just be shaken down and there will be more pathetic bodies with crushed heads.

Extremely frigid intimidation caused the wars that were rising to become foggy. On second thought, it's not a bad deal either. Cynthia convinced herself forcefully.

"Wow, okay. I promise you, your lives will be protected in my honor."

"Promise."

"Oh, oh."

Cynthia answered out of sight. This place is awesome, you just have to wait for backup and detain it. That's what I thought.

But Noel has been pushing his precautions in a tone that sounds like everything is foreseen. I tried to keep my face down with my hands dirty with blood, and I just said I wouldn't allow myself to get out of sight.

"Because if I break my promise, I will never forgive you. So, nice to meet you, huh?

Noel showed his white teeth and gave a full grin.

- Seventhem fortress, near the exit of the hidden passage. The tunnel dug from inside the fortress leads to a natural cave in the forest.

From the warehouse, the Coimbra soldiers, who escaped with Taisho's wife, had been ambushed outside the cave.

About 50 rebels Ned has laid down in advance surround him with spears.

I got a simultaneous shooting of arrows at the encounter, and several people are already desperate. Furthermore, Sarah, Mrs. Taishou, who is the subject of the escort, suffered an arrow wound to her right arm.

Rebels are about twice as numerous, amateur and uncontrolled, so there is a gap to follow. But I couldn't get into the offense as I thought in the battle while protecting it, and the field was glued to match.

"Drop your sword and surrender! That way, Grohl's wife's life will be covered.

"Shut up, you thieves! Lord Sarah and Lord Elgar will protect our lives even in our stead! Everybody, get more excited!

Both armies tow with spears as they raise their anger. Rebels can't actively use bows either. Because his wife is ordered to keep him alive and capture him as much as possible. Besides, if you wait, the Neds will rush from the fortress. I didn't have to panic.

A few people there, including Noel and Milt, who wrapped a red cloth around their right arm from the cave. And Cynthia appeared in captivity.

"Captain Cynthia!

"Dear Cynthia, what the hell is that look like!?

Cynthia, who did not respond to the soldiers' call and remained on her knees. Seeing that makes the rebel warlord giggle. He said Ned finally came to me for a favor.

Among the rebels here, the Baha 'is are two, including themselves. There were three people in the fortress, including Ned. This is the only face I can reliably rely on as a force of war. All the other miscellaneous soldiers I don't rely on. But even more than we've succeeded in surrounding the front and rear and securing the hostages, our enemies will lose their will.

As far as the identity of the woman in custody is concerned, I shall determine that she is definitely the captain.

"I've been waiting for you! Is that woman the enemy commander?

"Ha, it's Cynthia Adrich, head of the Coimbra Army Hundred! Thanks to the help of Captain Ned, you have been successfully detained!

Let Noel fold his right arm in front of his chest for a perfect holseed-like salute. Nor is the statement in the usual licking tone.

The rebel captain is unintentionally distracted, but immediately regains his mind. Maybe Ned gave some guidance. Because the guy is surprisingly casual and has a good place to take care of him. Assuming you are a rebel, I wonder what it would be like to teach you salute, but you won't have to worry deeply about it.

"Heh, you've been fine while the kids haven't seen a bit. Did Captain Ned teach you that?

"Ha, you've coached me a lot! Captain Ned is supposedly arriving soon!

"Right, right! Keep it down then. Oops, if you don't want that lady knight killed, drop your sword!!

"-Come on."

The Coimbra soldiers will patrol, but at the earliest possible time they will abandon their swords and sit down on the spot. Because I'm in an attitude of pinching and my winning eye is completely gone. You can't resist poorly and take your wife's life on the road.

"All right, ladies, retrieve your weapons and tie them up! You can't move. You're tough! If you disobey, kill him!

"Yes, sir"

When the commander commands, the rebel youths approach with ropes. He can't tie his hands up well because he can't seem to get his hands on it.

"Damn, you're pathetic. Can't you use one rope? I'll show you an example."

The captain strips Sarah, who is sheltering with his body, and grabs Elgar's head up.

"What do you do? Huh!

"Ya, stop it!

"Get off me, you rude bastard!

"Oh, boy, thank you. Look, it's this shitty kid who thinks he's great just because of the goodness of his birth. You can't do anything on your own. Uh, it's really annoying!

"Let go of Elgar!

"Ugh!

Sarah, kicked in the body, raises her distressed voice.

- Yes, Mother.

Elgar tries to wake me up with help, but I can't reach it. When the captain distorts his mouth, he pulls up Elgar's hair.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Not so far."

When I laugh, I tie him up after I poke him in the head. Elgar brings tears from remorse, but there's nothing he can do.

"... but Captain Ned is slow. No, are the rest of them still in the fortress?

"That's what I want to report to you!

"What the hell. Tell me that quickly. I'm the one who gets mad at the captain later."

"Ha, I'm really sorry!

Noel approaches under the captain after responding. Elgar stares at me with a regrettable face but ignores me.

Salute again in front of the Warlord.

"Eh."

And he swung down the hammer he had hidden behind him as much as he wanted in a flowing motion.

The captain could not even raise the severer, and collapsed on the spot. The helmet has a large crease and the hands and feet are cramped into small pieces.

Stab the stop with your right foot under your throat. There is nothing scarier than resistance to death. We have to do this right. That's what Noel used to teach me.

- What?

"Millto!"

Noel speaks out, but Milt can't move around standing still.

The plan was for Noel to crush one, poke that gap and Milt to kill the Bahar soldiers. But when I had to, I couldn't move.

"- Uh, ah, ah"

Noel moves to finish himself when he pounds his tongue, but the white blade was swinging down before him.

"... just stop getting lost on the battlefield. If you don't want this to happen."

Cynthia waves her sword and pays for the blood paste. The fallen Baha 'is are nicely cut off from their right shoulder. Cynthia wasn't restrained, she was just wrapping a red cloth around her back.

When you raise your sword, you pronounce it against the rebels around you.

"I'm Cynthia, the hundred head of the Coimbra army! I hear everything from Noel about the general situation. If we surrender now, we'll ignore everything! Obey me like this or leave the rebels for good!

"Ugh, shut up! We can't believe what you guys are saying!

After a moment of silence, a brave young man flies a curse. Because he threw himself at the rebels.

"Who has no training whatsoever is going to be against our regular soldiers! Drop your weapon if you don't want to die!

Cynthia sips and slaps off a young man's spear with her bare hands.

The rebels, pushed by temper, finally begin to unload their spears. Cynthia's men immediately rise, pick up their gains and take a fighting stance.

"I'm going to explain the situation. How could there have been a revolt? Think for yourself after that. But participating in the rebellion is inherently a felony. I don't think the excuse of being threatened will work until the end."

After telling him so, he begins explaining the history of the rebellion with which he exchanged speculations. The Coimbra soldiers are outraged, occasionally fierce.

Those in the separate squad who finished listening to Cynthia, half-heartedly, all chose to leave the rebels.

Because not only those who were threatened, but also those who took part in the rebellion were taught by themselves that, in the end, they were just being used by the man above them.

Most humans chose to return to their homeland, but a line in the village of Zoim and some lovers chose to follow Cynthia.

As a formality, it was treated as a proselytizing soldier who joined the front in order to reward the benefit received from Coimbra Taisho.

Naturally no one thinks such a special victory. When Noel was stretched out like other personnel, the blood vessels appeared on Cynthia's temples.

"Dear Sarah, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Arrow wounds don't seem to be a big deal."

"How can I apologize for this failure"

"Thank you for your help, keep your chest up. Besides, it was originally the responsibility of my father, Barrel, who tried to keep himself safe. It's more of me to be embarrassed."

Sarah tells me clearly. Barrel not only tried to contain her daughter, but even Elgar, who was her grandson.

It is an inherently blamed and natural act, but there are some things I can sympathize with. If he wasn't there, it's suspicious that Grohl sent out immediate reinforcements. As much as I suspect so, I have undermined my trust from the ministers.

I don't put it out in my mouth because it hits me with disrespect, but it's very hard to say that I'm laying down good governance.

"... let's get out of here and hide ourselves immediately. We'll take a break at night, and then we'll go for the nearest stuffing."

If it's true, I'd like to stop by a nearby village and procure a carriage, but it doesn't necessarily mean I haven't put my shoulders in the rebels.

"I'll leave everything to you. You can't just let Elgar die. If you want to get your feet together, I'll throw it away."

"Mother, what are you talking about!

"Elgar, you are the person who will inherit this coin bra. You're not allowed to die on your own. Don't forget that."

Tell Sarah to teach.

"Don't worry, young man. I'll be sure to protect you both. Everyone is dying."

Cynthia tries to give orders to her men after saluting them with upright immobility.

"Hey, hey, that's the fat kid. They call me" young man. "You're so small, you look great."

"Hey, I hear you!

"I want to be great, too. That would make you happy, wouldn't it? Hey, can I try to look a little great?

"So stop it!... or you look great for a long time."

"I wonder. Well, I guess I'll be too."

Cynthia stares at Noel, who groans foolishly, with a shooting glance.

I think I will rule it out for a moment, but I reject it. I don't think you're an amateur, even if you look at the handiwork earlier. Suddenly it would not be possible without a steel heart, such as approaching the enemy commander and sympathizing with the hammer. The other person didn't seem to be able to feel the killer until the end.

What happens if I make a difference to the promise I made earlier? Cynthia didn't want to imagine much. Forced to shake off the imagination of the hammer flying this way.

"There, don't talk extra! Get ready. We're moving out of here now!... and those who have become Coimbra Prostitutes, keep the red cloth off their arms! I'm blind!"

"Ha, got it!

Noel replied well.

A short distance from the fortress of Sevtem. I have not earned much distance because I traveled through the woods inconspicuously.

The sun hid itself and the night book went down, so we were to rest once.

Whatever the soldiers are, it's because Sarah's health is drained remarkably. I'm not supposed to go on foot to the bad side of the scaffold, so I can't help it.

"Dear Cynthia, may I start a fire?"

"Not good, but it will be unavoidable now. Don't be alarmed."

"Hey, do you start a fire?

Noel talks to me casually. It's like treating a friend. The fact that we were enemies until earlier already seems to be on the other side of our memory.

"... have you stopped saluting your superiors? As I say, the words and salutes were fine when I was acting."

"I'm tired of everything. If you want to start a fire, I'll take care of it. I have an amazing treasure. Anything. It's like a miracle."

"A miracle piece? Why do you have such luxury goods?"

"Hehe, I picked it up"

With that said, he rushes over to the soldiers preparing to start a fire.

Suddenly when I took out the second spear, I stuck it to the ground.

"... what imitation?

"Look at that. Because it's really amazing. I'm coming."

When Noel gently rings his finger, a flame gushes from the tip of the spear. It burns into the trees that were assembled, and keeps gaining momentum.

Cynthia doubts her eyes at a sight too difficult to understand. Fire is coming from the spear. It's not a mistake to see.

"What do you mean,"

"This spear, there's a fire coming from ahead. Name it Wonder Spear. That's really weird!

"Stupid, no matter how many miracle objects I've never heard of that! What the hell is going on here!?

I go closer and hang my hand on the spear pattern,

"Hot!

It is a very high fever and it is unlikely that I will be able to grip it. The other soldiers would try, but they all screamed a small scream.

"It looks like it burns when you touch it other than me. I wonder why. That's really weird."

"What's strange! It's like I don't know what that means! You're cursed!

"Rude. It's an important treasure."

Is oil stained on the tip or the long pattern itself? It is common sense to speculate that the pierced clap was ignited with friction. But as far as Noel's words are concerned, they can flame freely. The absurdity is also a good place.

"That spear, you could have done that. I had no idea, either."

The long-time milt of dating is also flashing.

"Isn't that amazing? Hehe, it's my treasure, so I'll never give it to you."

"I know it's awesome, but I don't need it if it's going to burn. If you can't have it, it means nothing."

"Later, there are some strange picture books, but do you want to see them with me in your spare time?

"Read me that as Cal. I hope you're safe back in the village."

Milt is shaking her neck sideways just to cheer her up.

"... I really don't understand why. Hard to really understand, resembling the owner. One thing I can say is, I guess it doesn't matter now. As for you, it's just ridiculous to think."

Noel is in a mood to read a thin dirty book. I looked sideways, but the paper was wrinkled and unreadable.

Cynthia gave up her further pursuit as her fatigue had increased. Decide to cut it off if there's no harm done here now.

On the contrary, it is a fine force of war. Since we met, we've already killed as many as four people.

If I did poorly, I wouldn't laugh at all because I was one of them. After moisturizing his throat with water, he sighed to spit out the gleaming object.

"Hey, Noel."

"Yeah?"

"Cynthia is a hundred people long, right? I wonder how great that is."

"It's better than a ten-man. Though not better than a thousand people."

"No, I guess so."

I've heard such a conversation, so I decide to explain to him that this is a good opportunity. After a great cough.

"Gohon.... there is naturally a class in something called the military. This isn't just a coin bra, it's the same in other states. It has become a system common to the Holshead Empire."

First of all, a soldier at the end. Besides, the humans who have been conscripted during the war fall for this. There is also the position of Soldier Commander, but it does not mean that he commands the squad.

It starts with ten men in command. And when you are a hundred chiefs, you are given the rank of knight, followed by a senior hundred chiefs, a thousand chiefs, and a senior thousand chiefs. As a rule, the leading soldier is assigned the number of his rank. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for a hundred chiefs to direct five hundred.

Every state is struggling to train commanders. Naturally, there hasn't been a massive battle here lately.

By the way, the 10,000 chiefs are called generals, and both Wilm and Gaddis are in that position in Coimbra. Taisho is located in the state's Supreme Commander, and it is the Emperor who controls them.

Cynthia's position as a hundred men at twenty years of age is due not to strength but to hereditary assault. Now I can only say because my late father was in the position of general. You can't be a knight on a woman's own if you're supposed to be. Because my brother died prematurely from illness, I had to inherit the knight and the house as a name to keep the family name.

Naturally, Cynthia is doing a tough workout to build strength commensurate with it. Sometimes both Gaddis, Wilm's name and his retired father were friends with each other, even when he was hung up on special eyes. Few coworkers slapped her in the pussy, but Cynthia kept trying not to lose it.

"Does that mean we're just soldiers now?"

"You're worse than a soldier. It doesn't matter. It's a good disposable pawn. - Its great name is Prostitute. Haha, sorry to hear that, Milt."

"You're the same."

"So is that."

Easily say a painful word in your ear. Actually, you're right, so Cynthia doesn't pinch her mouth either.

Even if the Noels have lost their lives now, their names will not remain, and there will be no special allowance for their families.

"I'm afraid you are, too! First of all, I didn't mean to be a prostitute-- oh, no, sorry."

Milt stared at by soldier shrinks.

"... never mind. Except for this fool, I won't force you to be verbal. I guess I'm not used to it. With me, I won't be unreasonably harsh on prostitutes."

"Oh, thank you!

"You're pissed off."

Noel laughs when he dulls. The picture book I was reading closed and I put it in a cloth bag that I raised on my hips like it mattered.

"It's your fault!

"... ahhh"

"Hey, what's up, suddenly?"

"You've got a cloud. The beautiful moon has hidden."

"... Indeed. It would be dark if the fire went out. It seems better to get away with it."

Looking up at the sky so that it can stick, the clouds are starting to drift. Maybe it will rain.

It's convenient to move so you can't find it. He scratches out the signs, and his enemies' feet are dull. Let's just call it rain of grace.

But some people don't think so.

"Something bad happens on a rainy day. It always was. So I hate rain"

"I guess so. I can see you hate the rain."

"Yeah. Especially the rain at night sucks. It's like living hell to me."

"You're exaggerating."

"It's true, I can't help it."

When Noel said so, he began to wipe his face with a hand wipe containing moisture. When I could take the sweat and dirt off, I just took a breath of refreshment.
