The land where demons appeared is disgraceful. The filth will fade when the time passes, but there will be decades until it is completely gone, and there will be no life in the unclean land during that time. Even if you can defeat demons, it is impossible to disgrace them.

Only those who can come from different worlds and use the magic of healing can pay for their filth.

Relying on the old literature, only a few lines of lying or not knowing whether it was true or not, the Kingdom of Lidylan had come to no avail.

Fortunately, there are now clams in the Kingdom of Lidylan that came from different worlds two years ago. However, if she travels alone, instead of purifying the filth, she can't even fathom one demon.

Neither the first prince, who I did not hear go with, nor the second son of the Duke of Barratona family, a knight apprentice, had some heart for dealing with demons while protecting her. So Siltina was the one where the white feather arrows were raised.

"Accompany the journey to purify the filth and protect the" Virgin ", the Akali."

That was the royal decree that Sirtina was ordained by King Lidylan.

"In the first place, even the Knights Commander would be able to do it if it was in a position to protect her from demons. Why should I go?

Demons are definitely strong. But it's not a strength that people can never fathom. Yet Sirtina was not surprised why that role had turned to herself.

"The seat of the Knights Commander is now empty."

"……… What?

"Since Familas Calanzato, the former head of the Knights' regiment, suddenly quit a year ago, his succession has not been decided."

"A year ago... why so much..."

"... of..."

"Yes?"

"The government of the country was inclined, the security was disturbed, the people were confused, and many of the nobles stopped coming out of their territory, and it was not there. I ordered the deputy commander to the next commander, but only came back to say no, and he hasn't heard from me since."

……

Sirtina is now experiencing the fact that she is too frightened to say anything.

I've been gone for two years. Nothing had changed in this country. That's why this happened. Two years ago, everything I had managed to preserve ended up in jail without anyone to inherit it it after I was gone.

The result is this. The country was desolate, the people mourned, the knights swayed, the security disturbed, the nobles caged, demons appeared, and obscenities arose.

The seat of the Knights Commander, the strongest seat in the Kingdom of Lydians, has been vacant for a year, and there is not even a deputy commander who is the next strongest. The remaining powerful men are those sitting on the Knights Squad Leader's throne, but if they are, their demon opponents will remain anxious. So I guess it was Sirtina whose name was now known to other countries.

That's why I said. For the first time since she came here, Sirtina sympathized with those in front of her.

But if you ask me if I will take this matter because of my sympathy, it is another matter.

When Sirtina tried to say no, which she did not know how many times it would be, the door between her eyes was opened with an unusual momentum.

"Hi, sorry to bother you."

At the end of the open door, a silver-haired man comes in and says so, biting the stretch like a dall.

"Hey, who is it?!? What are the knights doing!!

"Uh, it's not a suspicious mon. Look at this. A letter from Gilmouth to Silty. He told me to deliver it as soon as possible, so I brought it."

Siltina sighed as if only Siltina was stunned by the man who said as he waved the envelope in his hand with the hiccups.

"Al, how did you get here?

"How can you walk?

"No, I'm not..."

"Oh, I've defeated them all by the time I got here."

"I knocked him down..."

"Don't worry. I didn't kill him."

"I hope so."

"Hey! Who's Soitz!?

Prince Frakt shouts at Sirtina pointing to a man known as "Al".

"He said," Whoa, I'm late for a name. I belong to the same guild as Silty, Alhardt Rulance. I'm having a party with her "............... Al"

Sirtina called his name low to Alhardt, who blocked Sirtina's words and named him. Alhardt, who laughed joyfully at it, indicated to check inside the envelope he handed to Sirtina.

"This is……"

Sirtina, who read the letter that was inside, glanced slightly at him and looked at Alhardt with a surprised look.

"That's what I'm saying."

"… Understood. That's what I'm saying."

They nod at each other, and their surroundings lean their necks surprisingly to the two who were somehow convinced. Sirtina broke her knee in front of the king again without worrying about such surroundings.

Let me ask you carefully to escort the Virgin Akali.

The air shakes with the inclusion of zawari in the word, and a different meaning from the first.

"Did you suddenly change your mind? What did that letter say?

"This is a notification from the Alliance Master asking the Alliance to escort the Virgin to me (...) and the others (...). Except if it's a request to the Alliance. I never refuse a request in a personal way."

"We"?

"Yes. It's a request addressed to me and Alhardt Rulance. Therefore, this man will accompany you on your journey of purification."

"Thank you."

"……… OK."

"Okay,"

Pattin, and the letter Alhardt brings at the same time that Sirtina's fingers ring, burns out without a trace. Confirming that, Sirtina stood up and pulled out the sword she was raising on her hips.

Alhardt similarly pulled out his sword, anticipating that the king took control of the spot where tension ran as soon as possible.

I swear before you in the form of a mercenary guild to which we belong, the Twin Wings Sword.

"As well."

"Let's forgive."

At the same time as the king allowed it, we both stuck our swords to our feet.

"" We will obey your life, and we will not be a shield to his people from this. Then this sword will attain the glory of a treasure at the dawn when it hath done righteousness. Whether we decay, we will have this heart to protect him. Then this name will be spoken of with dignity at that time when it has fulfilled all. My name, my sword, my life. I swear to God I will protect everything. This is for you. "

At the same time as I finish, Shakin, and a high metal sound is sounded and the sword is returned to the sheath.

"Cool…………."

Sin, and the words of a potpourri and an overflowing acari echoed in it quietly.

"Awesome! That's cool, both of you!! I am impressed!!

Even though he says "two", Akali's gaze is directed at one Alhardt. If Sirtina, who smiled bitterly at her like that, stepped away from Alhardt's neighbor, an acari rushed over to take Alhardt's hand, leaning perfectly next to the fract until then.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Alhardt!!

……

"I was really very anxious. If you think you're finally familiar with this world," Holy Virgin, "what do they say? Go on a journey of purification. What do they say..."

Akali leaned down with his voice trembling while holding Alhardt's hand. The perimeter sends a pitiful gaze in tune with the potari and the Shizukuishi that fell on the floor.

"But to save the people of this country who have done better for me in the other world, I thought I would try my best... but I was still anxious..."

……

"But!!

Ba! and the clam eyes that raised his face were wet with tears, but there was a smile on his face. Of a beautiful girl (and still more so now, the acari is an endless beauty.) A breath of exclamation leaks from the surroundings at the beauty of a temperamental smile wet in tears.

"If Mr. Alhardt will protect me, I can do my best no matter what!!

……

With a beautiful smile, Alhardt said that directly from the front.

"... yeah? Oh, you done? Uh, sorry, but I hadn't heard from you on the way. What?"

It is this reaction. And with an extension.

"…… uh, Mr. Alhardt?

Was the boulder acari also unexpected in this reaction, looking up at Alhardt with a frightened look?

"Uh, was it" The Virgin "?

"It's an acari. Akari Fuyuhara"

"Well, whatever, but I'm protecting you because that request came to Silty, who's throwing a party with me. Silty said it was a" request to us, "but if you're throwing a party, a request that comes to one of us will inevitably be a" party request. "

"... ha."

"I mean, with Silty here, I'm gonna protect you. Don't forget that."

"…………!!

Ba! and Akali stare at Sirtina.

"If there wasn't a formal request from the guild, I'd just cut you loose and abandon a country like this. Thank you for your kindness."

Alhardt shrugged low and slightly murderous in the ears of such an acari. As soon as she blued her face, Akali quickly turned herself over and returned to the fract.

Without looking at such an acari, Alhardt, once again biting down his elbow, proceeded to walk in front of Sirtina, who looked at himself as if he were frightened.

"I did what I had to do, and I'm going back to the inn to sleep. Call me if something happens."

"Okay."

"Do you want to take your room too?

"I think you'll be fine. I'll stop by once it's over."

"Okay. It's called a" blue sleeping area ". You know where it is?

"Fine. I'll see you later"

"Ah."

Pong, and Sirtina's head stroked, and Alhardt left between his eyes. Sirtina, who missed such Alhardt, turned to the king and corrected her posture.

"Now, my king. I have one favor to ask of you."

"Tell me what?"

"When this request has been successfully completed, please do not involve me in any way after that."

"… OK."

"Thank you."

"The departure is in three days. Make sure you have everything you need by then. Until his departure, he asked me to leave him at the Duke of Barratona's house. Tomorrow, I'll arrange to make time for a face-to-face meeting with those who will travel with me. Climb the castle after noon with the other men."

"Okay. Now, if you'll excuse me for today."

Only Akali looked at Sirtina with strong angry eyes, who gave her a deep thank you and returned her heel.
