The girl with the fire wheel.

Cynthia and the others continue along the forest area avoiding prominent streets. The speed is slow because it precedes the scouts, checks safety, and then it's moving forward.

If you get some distance away from Rockbell, you can later enter the streets and go for the state capital. Hence Cynthia chose to be cleverer than awkward. Because it is the wife's life that should be given the highest priority. Desperately curb the deviant desire to get out of the dead place as soon as possible.

Centrally located in the squad are Sarah, Elgar and Cynthia as escorts. I even follow Noel for some reason. I tried to drive him out of the way, but he's one step ahead of me in a light move. I didn't want to use my extra strength, so I decided to look and pretend not to see it.

The other soldiers are marching in circles to surround the dignitaries, gaining money and marching carefully. Those who once regarded themselves as prostitutes could not be counted as warriors, so they placed them in the rear. Even if it falls off, I can't afford to take care of it.

The lead opens the way with a pine light. Because night lanes are too dangerous without the lights on the boulders. I wanted to avoid it because it stands out, but I had to stop to earn distance before the sun went up.

…………

"Dear Sarah, young man, how are you feeling?"

Cynthia calls out as she walks. Sarah's face is crushed and fatigue seeps through. Naturally, even skilled soldiers are forced to make noise.

But I can't afford to be resting again and again. If the enemy catches up to you, you die. Therefore, if you have to take charge, you have to move on.

"... I have no problem. Elgar seems a little tired though."

"I'm fine too! I want you to stop treating me like a child!

Elgar flattering his face. Object with a grown-up mouthful, but that's extremely childish. Sarah gently strokes her short, well-groomed golden hair.

It's a harsh journey for a 12-year-old boy, and even if he just doesn't cry, it's fine.

"I'm sorry about that. You're a fine man, too. Something really brave, like your father."

"Yes!"

Cynthia, whose expression looses unexpectedly to the sight. I wish that was all I had, but I get the look of an inexcusable fool in my sight.

Noel looks back and looks at it with interest. I've got my thumbs up to signal what's fun when I see each other.

(This fool again...!

Noel is the most energetic person in the squad. He's not tired at all, and it's as easy as walking.

"Noel, these people are not who you are. Give me your position."

"Why?"

"How could you be just a civilian? The world you live in is different from that of nobility. Besides, Master Sarah and you, the great Valdecca family. If this were not the case, we would not be allowed to approach it either!

Cynthia looks down at Noel and firmly affirms.

On this continent, civilians are not allowed to name their surnames. a knight, or is allowed to name his surname from an aristocratic capacity. To gain knight status, you must be promoted to a hundred or more chiefs. Blood and gold say things to gain nobility. If you accumulate large sums of money, you may be granted status as a branch muscle.

Cynthia is a knight and at the same time a nobleman's end.

(Though... nobility is just a name. Rather, it feels heavier)

"Well, nobles are so great and awesome."

"That's the thing. So tell him to stand down right now."

"So, you're great, too?

"Huh?"

Noel does not hesitate to speak to Elgar.

I don't blame my neighbor Sarah, but she puzzles me. I would have yelled at you for being disrespectful in normal times, but now I know I can't afford that.

"Noel, you didn't hear what I said!

"Hey, young man, you're very great too, aren't you?

"Well, I suppose so. I am Elgar Valdecca, the man who will inherit this coin bra sooner or later. Be sure to be great."

"Then I'll give you something nice. When you're better, I'll be your best servant, so one day you can hem me happiness."

"... that it's a gift? You want to be one of my men?

"Yeah, 'cause you're gonna be so great, right? So, yes this."

Smiling with Nico, he pushes something against the confused Elgar.

It's a boneless hammer that just crushed the Baha 'is' heads. Tools that are too big for a child to have. Besides, the dry blood stains are still sticking.

"Oh, what are you giving away!! Young man, you don't have to accept such a thing!

"I have another one, so now you're in line."

I'm taking another hammer out of my waist. When I beat it to a toast, I twirled it and turned it.

It's definitely what Ned's two men had. Soon they picked it up and made it their own.

It is a commonplace hammer that does not know the standard of treasure but is not particularly eccentric. It's proven to be powerful, but it's about Noel who can fight like that.

"... why did you come to me with this?

"Because this is the hammer that saved your life and your mother's. It could be a great amulet. You know, it looks like some kind of magic weapon."

"Um, when they say that, do they? I don't know, it weighs, and I do get used to it."

Elgar frowns as she squeezes with both hands. It's obvious because it's the hammer that's heavy, and I'm familiar with it because there's a cloth wrapped around the patterned area. But there seemed to be something I thought, and I took it as it was.

When the string is removed, it is cleverly bracketed on the back.

"Young man, let go of such filthy objects immediately. This guy is a worldless fool, so let's not deal with him too much."

"That filthy thing saved my life. By the hands of an unknown fool."

"However!"

"I don't care what it looks like. What matters is whether it can be used at times of need. I could learn that up close and I had a really good experience"

When Elgar takes control of Cynthia by hand, he turns to Noel.

"Is your name good in Noel?

"Yeah."

"Thank you. Besides, I didn't thank you for earlier. - Prostitute Noel, thank you for helping my mother and me. Thank you very much."

"Fine. Instead, say hello earlier."

"Yeah, let's promise. I, Elgar Valdecca, swear to honor my promise to Noel. This is an oath of nobility, never to be broken"

"Really?"

"True."

"You did it. I'm looking forward to that."

Noel and Elgar are laughing with pleasure. They're completely forgetting that we're in the middle of a desperate run right now.

And also about the difference in status between nobility and civilians. Only in the meantime can we interact like this indefinitely. Soon, it will change.

(Are you saying you're still a child? No, I can honestly just say thank you, are you a lot more adult than me etc)

I've become aye-free, but Cynthia is the same person who saved my life. If it weren't for Noel, he would have died of being scolded.

Crap pride is in the way and I haven't been able to honestly convey my gratitude.

"Elgar, when did you learn to talk like that? I thought I was mistaken for your father."

"I study a lot, too. I'm not a child forever."

"I'm studying, too. I've been thinking about how I can be happy. It's a trial and error day."

Noel is saying stupid things, using difficult words. Actually, I'm lost in judging whether I'm smart or really stupid.

(... I don't know. Only this guy really doesn't know)

"Hmm, I guess that's a field of philosophy. All right, next time I'll think about it, too. Besides, there are all kinds of books in the castle library. If you look, you'll find what you want."

"Really? Thank you, young man!

Noel shines his eyes and squeezes Elgar's hand. Elgar blushes in embarrassment.

Sending Sarah a glance as to what was going on, she looked somewhat happy. At first glance, it also looks like a childless interaction. Noel is my sister and Elgar is my brother.

Scratch away the disrespectful thoughts that have come to mind and keep Noel's cheeks full of strength.

"Yikes."

"... please give me a position. Fine. Say yes, whether you know it or not."

"... Yes, I understand"

I saluted Noel as he held down his reddened cheek.

Soldiers around me who were listening, plus Sarah leaks a laugh too. Cynthia stared at the soldiers and began to move on.

A line that keeps walking silently. The sound of the leaves of the trees swinging in the wind began to mix slightly but with the sound of rain.

- It's raining.

"Yeah, that sucks. Oh, it really sucks."

"It must be a fortunate mistake. Exactly the rain of grace. They scratch our signs."

"So I don't like it"

Noel distorts his face to the limit and starts covering his head with a cloth as he pounds his tongue. The language is also stabbing somewhere.

He really doesn't seem to like the rain, and he's consciously walking by the tree just saying he doesn't like touching Shizuku.

"Oh, hey, don't leave the line."

"Just leave me alone."

"Kids or you."

Cynthia is frightened, but realizes that the fear she had with Noel earlier is fading.

The fact is, I just seem like a worldless daughter when I'm talking to her like this. The floating character, the unafraid stranger, and when it rains, bend the umbilical cord.

But the dirty outfit she's wrapped up in reveals that the sights so far are not lies. Skin bundle dyed in red color just like hair. Even though the smell of blood faded, I can still sniff it out.

A fierce and ruthless beast lurks among the year-old girls. Sometimes in innocence, something cruel hides out.

(I don't think we're getting through to the enemy now, but so far, we're not caught off guard. Because I'm pretty sure I was in the rebels.... As far as this goes, it will definitely end in worry)

Anyway, if I can make it home safely, I'll thank you. Cynthia was determined in her heart.

There, one soldier rushed in front of the line. It's a scourge I released earlier to check on Rockbell. Because reinforcements had already arrived and we could not even think of the possibility that we were repelling the rebels.

But the information brought about was the worst, albeit expected.

"The city of Rockbell has already fallen! Thieves carry out looting and firemen are rising from the city!

"It falls too fast. Is the enemy so big an army by then? Report back in detail!

"The enemy was on very strict alert and I didn't know any more. It is also unclear if Count Barrel was able to escape safely!

Sarah and Elgar, who were listening to the report, have a sinking face. Perhaps there is already no life for Count Barrel.

Rockbell had decided he could stand for a few days even if attacked by thieves, as he was surrounded by walls, albeit low. Besides, they're a bunch of uncontrolled thieves.

"... well, if it is the general of Bahar who is in command, then it is natural to have the knowledge and readiness to attack the castle. Shit, you despicable Baha 'is!

As predicted, the rebels fiercely attacked using pre-prepared siege weapons.

Rockbell, a small guard, was broken through the castle gate without much resistance, allowing him to break into the interior. Count Barrel, the lord, has tried to escape, but has reached a pathetic end without being able to break through the siege.

Rockbell has a red wheel army flag up and the city is a hell of a picture of looting and killing rampant.

"Dear Cynthia, may I?

"Until we do our duty! Whatever it takes to get you safely to Madres, the state capital!

As soon as Cynthia inspires the soldiers, a good number of fire arrows fly in. It's raining, so the firehand won't spread. But it's just a good light, and you're out of shape.

"Damn, how did this place..."

"Maybe the scoundrel was followed."

As Noel said, the scouts had been followed. When we got to the big guy, they were swimming on purpose.

Cynthia curses her own detours, but in the meantime, enemy soldiers shrink their distance.

'Oh, no! Maybe it's these guys! Never let them get away with it!!

"Capture the woman and the child absolutely alive! Master Listig's orders, you got it!

"Respond!!

An enemy soldier strikes as he raises his anger.

"Dear Sarah, young man, you must never leave me! Everybody, keep your enemies away!

"But it will crush you as it is!

"Shut up, don't mess with the circle! You've got to hold on!

"Hey, that's why I told you. He said rainy days suck."

Noel squeaks uncomfortably. The tone is terribly cold and you can't ask for emotions.

"What if I'm saying that now! You're not playing either. Join the circle!

"Hey, you owe me that flirtatious. Put this on mine instead."

"- What are you doing!

"Just hurry up. If you want to die here, fine."

When thrown away cold, he forcefully peels his jacket off from the confused Sarah and wears his wrapped cloth.

Noel wears a decorated and luxurious jacket and holds a strapped cloth bag on his left hand. It has no length, so it's ridiculous to see it nearby.

"So what the hell are you going to do!

"I don't have time to explain it slowly. Give me a reward for this if it works. It's a promise, isn't it?

Saying so, Noel rushes out into the woods with two strands of spears. There is a fierce fire coming from the spear, and it is raised high as if to boast to enemy soldiers.

After a while, a loud crying scream roared in the dark.

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

"What is it? A woman's voice. '

"She's a woman, she's running away! That must be Sarah! Definitely get him!!

"Holding something! Maybe the kid's with us! All right, the reward is mine!

'Hey, what are these guys gonna do!?

"I don't care if you get those guys! Leave the wreckers alone!

The light of the companion pine light moves on so that it can follow. - The siege breaks down all at once.

(You mean that! How can you think of that in just a few moments! But that's too reckless -)

I just thought about it that much and decided I can't waste my time. Raise your sword and give instructions.

"Now is the time! We'll break through all at once, keep going on me!!

"Ri, roger!

Breaking through the siege, Cynthia's entire line ran through the forest to reach Milan Street, which leads to Coimbra State Capital.

I can confirm that troops flying the Coimbra flag are marching from the state capital side. If we keep rendezvous, we're done.

Legs that have become like sticks, live into bodies that are about to fall apart now, Cynthia reports.

"I think I managed to escape safely. I'm sending a message to the forward team immediately."

"Did you help? But Noel..."

"... sincere thanks to Cynthia, and the soldiers. And even to that brave girl."

Sarah meditates her eyes. Elgar looks at his surroundings restlessly, even though his breath is absurd. Needless to say, I'm looking for Noel.

"... Was Noel still no good?"

I couldn't think of anything in that pressing situation, such as the use of Xu. The only thing on my mind was to fight with all my dying power.

But then the mission would have failed. So it was that girl who wasn't a member of the military who worked so hard to get to the end of the mission.

However, it is difficult to spare death from the role of a warrior. We're going to be pushed around to that number. Besides, the opponent is a bunch of thieves who let their desires roll. I don't want to imagine what the end has been achieved.

(Although, at the very least, he would be saved if he died while preserving human dignity. … and could I not, after all, convey my gratitude)

On the contrary, I had doubts until the end. I've been saved twice. It makes me feel like I'm the worst person.

"Oh, you know, Master Cynthia. Noel's guy..."

"Perhaps he was captured, so he was killed. Either way, it's hard to believe you're safe."

"No, he's gonna die so easily."

Milt stands still.

"I'm sorry. But her accomplishments are bound to be reported to Taishou. Her name and honor..."

"When you're dead, that won't make sense to you.... Why, why are you doing this!

A milt that blocks words, turns away and leaks whimpers. Maybe he had special feelings.

The expression of her and the men in the village as well as the soldiers in the squad is dark. As that float, was the bright character on the bottom attracting everyone at some point?

Including Elgar, Sarah, and Cynthia herself.

(... but I can't even just be sad. I am the commander of the squad. If you don't break it off, you can't lead a soldier into battle)

Cynthia pulls out her sword, aligns the squad.

"The brave work of the prostitute Noel allowed us to take off the dead ground! And Master Sarah and you are safe!

Place a beat to indulge in a dying voice, and exhale emotions all at once.

"Pray for the blessings of the courageous soldier Noel, and those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Salute everyone!!

As Cynthia raises her sword in front of her chest, the soldiers salute her towards the woods with an undisturbed action. Sarah and Elgar are praying.

If I did it and the sun seems dazzling. He didn't realize he was desperate to escape, but the rain stopped at some point. Cynthia meditated on both eyes to indulge in all sorts of things.

After a minute of thanksgiving, my back shrugs. Cynthia opened her eyes and looked back slowly wondering if something had happened...

"Yes."

"Puppy."

When I look back, I get painted with something loose. In my mouth, something stingy comes in. Definitely, this is mud.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Don't kill people on your own. What a waste to die on a sunny day like this."

"Oh, you, you're alive!

Milt raises a mixed voice of surprise and joy. The same goes for the other soldiers.

"Yeah, I'm not dying here. That, but if you die, will you raise the second class? I wonder what happens in the case of prostitutes. Like a senior prostitute? Hey, is there such a thing?

Kerakera is smiling and gently slapping Cynthia on the back.

By the way, Noel was completely flirting with his enemies and holding them in his hands instead of dying unharmed.

Sometimes the rebel pursuit unit is in the dark, but the branches of the trees were lit with bonfires, making it impossible to trace where the target is at all.

It was also a trap to attract enemies to the lights, although it was also the purpose of the spear to stand out.

And isolated humans were presented with an intense blow with an iron hammer, the end of an unspeakable few bodies rolling by the dawn of the night.

Noel slowly walked the shortest distance, making sure the sun rose after taking a rest on the tree until the rain stopped.

When I came close to discovering it in the street and trying to rendezvous, I was treated to death on my own and even offered a silent prayer, so I decided to make a little prank.

And when you're good at describing such a series of flows,

"Oh, you prank girl! I'm supposed to be a superior officer! Make him a glorious Coimbra Knight. He's a hundred men long! What's with the mud on that face!

Cynthia, who forcefully dropped the mud on her face, turns her face bright red and yells at her.

"Ha, I'm sorry! Uh, salute Captain Cynthia!

Noel salutes him deliberately with his muddy hands. Perfect salute, as always, but with no expression.

"I won't forgive you for winning even more! Guys like you will be thoroughly educated as soon as they get back to the state capital!

"I'm a prostitute, so I won't! I'll just get my promised reward and go home!............... I'm a little tired of running too far and I wonder if I can go now"

Noel, tired of acting, exhales a big sigh.

"Shut up! You'll be forced into my squad! That's what I decided! I'll beat you back from scratch with that gut!

"Yes, Captain. That seems a little unscrupulous. First of all, Noel is a prostitute."

Stopped by my men, but naturally I don't have ears to listen to.

"Shut up! We'll all rendezvous with reinforcements! Go on with me!

"Help."

Noel goes down the street with Cynthia pulling the root. The figure is very unlikely to be a strong man who has returned safely with his enemies in his hands.

Soldiers flauntingly dropping off their two hindsight.

"Oh, we have to follow you, too."

"Oh, wow."

"Did the captain have that personality? It seemed tougher and harder."

Cynthia doesn't have any friends her age. Always mindful, he exercises in his oligarchy and exasperates his anger not to be insulted by the soldiers.

Nevertheless, from those of my colleagues, the birth in the land and the beginning and end of being jealous. It was the first time the soldiers had seen Cynthia's ups and downs of such emotions.

"Sure.... but you seem to feel right about that girl. It's like we've been friends for years."

"Oh, yeah? Well, that doesn't seem like a struggle. Mainly the captain."

"Right. I have eyes for people."

Elgar glances at the exuberant soldier,

"Mother, let's go after them too. I was wondering if it was too soon to feel safe."

"Right, Elgar. Come on, let's hurry up, too. Ladies and gentlemen, may I finish?"

"I'll take care of it!

When Sarah urges, the soldiers understand and form a line.

"You seem to like the hammer a lot."

"Yes. This shall be my treasure. That one taught me to fight through without giving up until the end. I want to do the same."

Elgar looked to Noel in the distance and ran out of words.

"... I knew killing wouldn't kill you. That stupid bitch."

"Good for you, Milt."

"Ugh. I thought so after all."

When he wipes his eyes shy, the milt slaps a light mouth.

It was a well-known fact that Milt had something of a crush on Noel. So much so that he was the subject of a bet as to which one to drop, the fresser.

I say that all I don't know is who I am.

"You're not really honest. We're done for now, right? I'm really tired."

"Oh, after that, if the rebellion subsides, we'll be back in the village."

"I wonder if Fresser and Kraft are okay. I hear the city of Rockbell has fallen."

"You'll run away when it sucks. Those guys aren't that stupid either."

"That's right. But you're hungry."

With all that crap to say, the milts also started walking down the street. Looks like Noel and Cynthia are already rendezvous with reinforcements.

When he was really healthy, Milt was heartbroken.
