Earlier the next morning, he went on a crusade with the Knights and the mercenaries.
Starting today I was greeted in the lord's office before I left, which means I will also participate.
The lord greeted me with all kinds of noble things, but to sum up, please come with care.
Preliminary explanations from the captain seem nothing like flying from the first day, so maybe it should be okay.
He then headed with the captain to the Knights' rendezvous point, where he boarded the prepared carriage.
There were mercenaries on the spot, but [Virgin] never caught my attention.
Probably because he wore the same robes as the court magicians and was hooded from his head.
There were court magicians with me, so maybe they got confused and couldn't figure it out extra.
It was not long before I got in the carriage and left after the captain's greeting.
As usual, as usual.
As usual, I was escorted by the captain when riding the carriage, as well as a smile that just shimmered.
My cheeks are a little hot, but it'll be cold in time.
Now let's focus on the crusade.
I was thinking about that while looking at the view passing from inside the carriage.
"Sai, we're almost there."
"Oh, thank you"
The captain who rode the horse on arrival came to the carriage and told me that the destination was closer.
The destination is close enough and it took about an hour to arrive.
Stretch your hips as you sit down and open the bag you put aside.
The knife for when something happened in the bag, or when I finished making sure there was a potion in it, I think I just got there.
Just like when I get in, I grab it in the hands of the captain and get out of the carriage.
"Mm-hmm."
"Ha. Are you tired?
"No, I've been sitting there forever, so my body's hardened."
The sense of liberation that went out made me stretch as much as I wanted.
I couldn't solve it enough once I stretched it in the carriage.
The captain laughed at me, and I'm a little embarrassed.
"Yes, at last! I'm a little excited to be in the Krausner Forest for the first time"
"Does that bother you what herbs are growing?
"Yes! And I'm not..."
"You're the same. It's difficult during the crusade, but you just have to look around a little bit, even during the break on the way. I'll go with you."
"No, it annoys Mr. Hawk like that..."
Forced, he shouldn't have tried to change the subject, or he accidentally leaked the truth.
It was a brilliant guess, and I tried to fix it in a hurry, but in vain.
What the hell was it that I wanted to concentrate on crusading in the carriage?
You've been too relaxed in front of the captain of the regiment, even though you've been dealing with him more often than before since you came to Klausner territory.
Are you sure you're going to be okay at this rate when you say you're going into the woods?
I'm just a little worried about myself.
Having an inner head changes the atmosphere of the captain who notices someone approaching him.
If the captain gave his gaze to those who were right for him, he could see Mr. Leo coming.
"Mr. Leo?
"Yo!"
I heard some of the mercenaries were with us today, but it looks like Leo, the captain of the regiment, is here.
The captain's eyes sat when he looked at Leo, who raised one hand and greeted him with ease.
Um, is that it?
You don't think I have an attitude toward [the Virgin] or something?
I know manners are important, but I personally would appreciate it if you didn't stay in awe, so I don't want you to be too eye-catching.
Perhaps you should tell the captain this from me.
As they wandered their gaze between them, Mr. Leo turned to the captain and lowered his head gently.
"Best wishes for today"
"Oh, it's nice to meet you. Although I've investigated it, you'll be familiar with it in the woods."
"I'm afraid so. Regards, [Virgin]"
"Huh?"
Turning his eyes round to the sudden [Virgin] call, Mr. Leo gave Chirali and the captain his gaze.
Oh, could it be...
"Nice to meet you. I don't like being too tough, so it would be helpful if you could treat me the same way you used to."
………… That's what she's saying, too, and I don't mind. "
"Thank you. Just say it."
Even though Mr. Leo feels like a big mess, surprisingly, he's looking at people properly.
Nice assist!
As he thumbed up in his heart, he said, "See you later," and Mr. Leo turned back to refreshed.
It's quick to switch.
If I accidentally laughed and looked up at the captain, the captain also looked at this one and softened his eyes.
"We'll take a short break and we'll leave."
"Okay. Looks like you're boiling water over there. Shall we make some tea?
"No, it looks like my servant has our share ready. Let's drink together."
"Okay."
Though close, they've traveled quite a distance, so they seem to get into the woods after a break.
The captain was right, and his servant prepared the tea for me.
In addition to making tea, floor tables are also available.
I sat on the floor table, took a dose while talking to the captain, and after a while I seemed to be ready around.
Hand over the cup in your hand to your servant, and the cleanup around us will go on tediously.
So, as we moved, one after the other, the people around us went into the woods.
The forest vegetation on Klausner territory seemed not very different from the Wang capital at first sight.
However, if you look closely, there are herbs that were not found around the Wang capital.
"What are you looking at?
"I thought you had some herbs you'd never seen before."
"Herbs? You weren't a pharmacist, were you?
I'm a researcher at the Institute of Medicinal Plants.
"[Virgin] You're not."
"Right. I'd say that's a side job, if that's possible."
If you put your personal hopes in your mouth, Mr. Leo, walking next door, blew out a buzz.
The knights are divided into several squads, just as they were this time in the West Forest.
Mercenaries were assigned to two of those squads, and mercenaries were deployed to the squads I was in.
Mercenaries other than Mr. Leo are walking the lead, but only Mr. Leo is with me.
By the way, next to you on the left is the captain.
"Whoa. Say that, okay?
"It's okay."
Mr. Leo has asked in a whisper, pointing at the captain with his gaze, but I'd like to think he's probably okay.
Accidentally, I swallowed the words I was about to continue.
"I'm fine. No problem."
The captain went on to say the words I swallowed.
I want someone to praise me for almost erupting.
"That's weird."
"What is it?
"Much less demons than I expected"
"Ah."
After walking for a while, Mr. Leo shrugged.
If you tilt your neck and ask, say the same reason the knights were saying in the woods around the king's capital.
I don't really feel for myself, but it seems that there have been fewer demons since the [Rite of the Virgin Summons] took place around the King's Capital, and I guess it was the same in Klausner territory.
In fact, the captain who heard Mr. Leo whine looks even as expected.
"Is it still decreasing?
"Yep. I heard the Knights are decreasing, but that's very little."
"It felt similar in Wangdu"
"Heh."
Leo seems to treat the captain with the same attitude for nobility as before.
I guess I will only take the attitude that I am dealing with it in a crushed manner because [the Virgin] (I) asked me to.
Otherwise, people might say a lot to you.
Speaking of which, this was also the case in the Saul Forest, south of Wang Chengnan, where we first went.
Even in the woods, there was no demon at all, was there?
They just say that this forest has stronger demons, and it doesn't mean we don't meet demons at all, we've encountered them several times.
However, it seemed to be less frequent than Leo or the captain thought.
Of course, I know why.
So I want you two to stop staring at me.
