Then after whipping the tired lil 'l 'l to put on the 'curse of rejuvenation' as well, I changed into the clothes that Mr. Nervia and Kayliss had chosen for me.

It's just, you know, you look great. As a previous problem with not looking good, what about the ladies? I thought so, so I usually chose to dress like a boy there.

The clerk would have thought you were an absolutely boyish girl!

And back in front of the orphanage, we saw Captain Dundee at the main entrance of the orphanage. He seems to be talking to a young knight beside him, apparently a few hours late to the captain, and he was getting reports that all the squadrons of the Dragon Crusaders had assembled for Runepedi.

Looks like they arrived earlier than planned so I wish I could heal from the fatigue of the long journey, but it looks like they're headed straight to the Boboloza Tree Sea like this.

No, well, I know what it's like if you're in a tree sea for the night and you're almost certain of total annihilation, and if you're going to fight in a place with lots of trees, it would be best around noon...

But take a rest today, go out tomorrow or something... but yeah, but as far as they don't know Lil 'Lu is suppressing the dragon, did they have to launch an attack before the dragon could travel elsewhere or strike another city anew?

The captain, who noticed us approaching, looked at me with a new increase and narrowed his eyes a little, but no longer said anything.

"This time they offered to cooperate, he's an armed traveler. Let the advance party accompany you."

And he introduced me to the young knight by his side.

The young man nodded small when he saw the captain looking serious, even as he made his expression attract "eh......" You're definitely not convinced of that face.

And as we pass through the gates that exit the city (Rumpedi), we rendezvous with a bunch of muddy, bitter men who were waiting in the shadows of the outer walls. You also have a mix of wizard-like women inside.

So again, when our presence was sarcastically introduced by the captain, after all, the Knights people were made into a great deal of bluff, suspicious eyes and mockery.... be careful, uncles. There are some verses where your survival rate is closely related to our liking.

While the knights were steadily getting ready to deploy, including taking care of their weapons, resting horseback riding, and replenishing their food, we waited with a proper view of how it was going.

Being thinking about standing around in the harsh battle that is about to take place, I return to me by being inadvertently held there.

Looking back, it was Kaylis who held my hand.

"Kaylis?

"... I'm talking about the lady, so I'm sure this one will work out too. I know that."

As our strange gaze gathered, Kayliss reinforced his power to hold my hand with an uncommonly blatant expression of anxiety.

... ahhh!?

If you look closely, there's a neighborhood under Kayliss-kun's eyes!

also, could this one be hard work!? Or because you said I wouldn't take you!?

Anyway, it's clear he's under a lot of stress.

I don't know what to say, but if it was Kaylis before, I don't think he'd have thought of me this far.

I'm a little careless, but I'm honestly glad that he guides us so much that we can afford to sleep like this, and I've even remembered one emotion.

He will stare at me, now about ten centimeters lower than Kayliss, with his eyes that seem to cry out, too.

"But I'm really anxious. If anything happens to the lady or all of you..."

... I'm sure if I were in the opposite position, I would have had the same anxiety.

Instead, I was in a dying hurry when I realized that Kayliss was gone, actually, in one case in the elf.

But this time, on the contrary, it is my position to head to the dead and Kaylis will be left behind. If he also feels the rush and anxiety I felt that night, that effort must be considerable.

So I try to soothe the tense air, don't mess with me for a second,

'Thank you for your concern. But now you know how worried I was when I was in the elf?

"Ahhh... well, that's... sorry..."

If you blush and bow down to Kayliss, and now grip him back with both hands to wrap his hands around me, you will respond to him under the guise of energetic weather that you have not noticed at all.

"Tonight, I want Kayliss-kun's hand cooking for the first time. Can you please? '

What an overly liberal (relaxing) word when it comes to going to battle the most powerful species of the Demon Nation.

Kayliss gave such a flashy expression to my offer, but smiled with immediate pleasure.

"Pfft. Well, I'll be waiting for you to cook something better than that on your arm."

... If you see this glowing smile, is it worth trying to be a little stronger?

I've always lived in a carriage here, and I've only eaten out since I came to Rune Peddy, so it's true that I was actually missing Kayliss-kun's excellent food.

Hey, this increases your expectations for dinner. Take down the dragon and go home.

and when we see there suddenly the movement of the Knights has become more active and more people have begun to equip themselves with weapons or cross horseback riding, we perceive that they are apparently ready to leave.

Watching Captain Dundee walk straight over here from afar, I'll get the red muffler in place with the collar hidden.

Ma'am, please be safe.

"Yeah. Take care of yourself, Kaylis."

As I look back into Kayliss-kun's grey blue eyes and smile, I wave at ease to avoid worrying him.

Then Kayliss thanked me for saying "Welcome" with a sophisticated and spirited (sophisticated) performance, not just for me, but for all of my companions.

Originally, I never refused to harm my kids with such a "stopover," but it's even more than having someone waiting for me.... Of course, so is everyone waiting for me in the Empire.

And following Captain Dundee's lead, I was determined to walk out anew.
