The man who left the tent immediately called out to the young man who passed by.
"Oh, Victor, I was just in the right place."
A young man named Victor looked back.
A beautiful man with wheat hair and convincing enough to be said to be some noble child replies to the man.
What is it, Commander?
"Would you like to prepare a meal for me and bring it to the tent?"
"Ah, you must have picked up the kid again.You really like that, don't you, Commander?When did my Westeria move from a mercenary group to an orphanage? "
With daze in his pale eyes, Victor smiles and spines in his mouth.
However, I don't see any itching in the person who pointed the words at me.
"I don't think we can leave the dying kids alone."
"If it were a regular mercenary regiment, I'd leave it alone."
"It's a forward investment, a forward investment.If you educate from the time you were a kid, you'd be a much more useful mercenary than the half-man around you. "
"Yes, let's do that.So, you think you can use it? "
"I don't know about my daughter, but the boy is more likely.They didn't see me, they jumped at me first.Just because you didn't have the strength doesn't make your eyes better. "
A man named Captain broke up with a face like when he found a good armor.
Isn't that a coincidence?
"No, that's the eye that recognized me as the leader of the herd.It's not a bad choice to take my head hostage in that situation.More importantly, I liked the scratch of my feet trying to survive such a slight possibility in a state of total extinction. "
"Well, if that's what the commander says, it's not like I'm going to pinch my mouth..."
Shrug his shoulders as if he had given up, and Victor checks his first instructions.
So, was it a meal?
"Oh, you must be hungry, so feed him.I'm surrounding the entire tent with a barrier, so I won't run away on my own, but I need you to hold it down and let me sleep. "
"Barriers?"
"We have about an hour."
Minimum answers required for brief confirmation were returned.
Copy that.
Add as the Commander remembers to Victor, who just tried to move out.
"Ah, yes, that boy, be careful, because he feels like a parent cat who took a kitten.I don't think I'm worried about you. "
"... that looks like trouble again."
With a sigh of sigh, Victor left in front of the commander.
The commander walked straight through the tent lined up and proceeded straight to his destination.
When they reach a place where the mercenaries are solidified, they say, "Come in." They enter a tent.
"How's it going?"
"Ah, commander."
There was a girl sleeping in the tent.
A young woman sitting beside her turns to notice the commander.
"It's calming down. Your fever has also decreased and your expression has eased.You'll wake up by tomorrow. "
While listening to the woman's words, the commander peered into the face of the sleeping girl.
I was the commander who had been watching the situation for a while, but I opened my mouth with my thoughtful face.
"I'm losing it, but... you look like a very good girl."
And the woman agrees.
"That's right. For your hair, for your hands, it feels like you've been perfectly dressed.Regardless of the clothes you're wearing, your underwear looks pretty fine, and you're either a good girl or a good girl. "
The captain raised his eyebrows.
Anyway, if it's just a defeat, it could be a little tricky if you get involved in the whole town.
"The herd attacked me, and I wonder if all my guards were destroyed or lost..."
A town protected by an outer wall may be safe, but one step out of it awaits a lawless land of no power or means.
In the realm where pure violence alone protects itself, the loss of an escort means death.
Of course, it is understood that such a thing is not said, and it is common sense to have adequate escorts when going out of the wall.
But no matter how many guards you put on, if you're in bad luck, that's it.
If you were lucky enough to be targeted by a herd of beasts or encounter a powerful individual, it doesn't make sense to have a little escort.
"Are you hurt?"
"A few small scratches. However, there were places that were carefully cared for.I also applied medicine. "
"I see....."
Poor people can only wash and wrap cloths with water, such as wound treatment.
If the medicine was applied, it would be a child of a very wealthy house.Yes, the commander decided.
"Either way, I can't believe we're alone in the open...."
A painful girl gently strokes the girl's hair.
"But, you know, you're lucky, right?It was the wilderness that kept us from being eaten by the beasts, and we happened to be passing by. "
There are only insects in the wilderness that inhabit the sand, and there are no poisonous or dangerous organisms that prey on humans.
The environment is harsh, but at least it is a special land where there is no beast threat.
In addition, the timing was good.
Luckily, the mercenaries who had finished their work and moved to the next town arrived near the place where they happened to camp.
If the boys had been one day off coming to the place, if the mercenary regiment had been one day off, the girl would have been too weak to save her.
That boy was still young.
From the point of view of age, is it the girl's side service or the survival of the guard - no, the apprenticeship?Or maybe it's a lower man.
But in any case, it wasn't a mistake to try to protect this girl.
Without abandoning the girl in a harsh environment and forced situation, the commander liked the attitude of trying to fight through to the end.
If you have a place to go, you can drop off some of them.
Of course, if you can expect a fair reward.
If they are going to join the regiment like this, that's fine.
If you don't want to join the group and don't have any rewards, take them to the nearest town and say goodbye there.
That's right, the commander wasn't popular enough to feed a kid with enough luggage.
The commander is responsible for the commander.
It is our duty to protect the lives of our members and not to starve them.
If the opponent is a member of the team, it is inevitable to protect them, but if not, they are other people in red.
It was considered a favorite of the mercenary regiment even if it was delivered to a safe place.
A woman asks from the side to the captain who was thinking.
"Where's the other boy?"
"Ah, I woke up just now.I let Victor take care of me because I was too noisy to see her. "
As the name came out, the woman had a worrying look.
"To Victor? Is that okay?"
"It's okay. He's got to take care of himself somehow."
"I don't think so."
The commander talks about Victor's defense for a woman who disagrees incredibly.
"He can't be nice and illuminated in public, he's..."
"My name is Captain, my name is Victor, and these mercenaries are all tough men."
"Don't say that."
The commander stood up when he smiled bitterly at the shrugging woman.
"I'll give you Iska's later. I'm sorry, but don't bother until then."
"It's only natural, because neither Iska nor Tatsuya are ungrateful women."
That's why you can leave the kid in peace.I don't bother talking about it.
Whether it's the woman in front of you or Iska, we've known each other for over a decade.
We are able to build a relationship of trust that can be perceived by each other without speaking.
"Let me know when you wake up.If I don't reassure you soon, that boy will explode. "
"If only I could see you right now."
If you let me see him now, he'll take this girl and jump out on his own.
The woman exhales tirelessly in the words of the commander.
Um, you mean the same type as the commander?
Don't be ridiculous. I'm not that stupid.
The woman doesn't hide her confused gaze at the captain who immediately objected.
I don't know.
The woman retreated to the captain, who was silent with a mix of awkwardness and mood.
"I'll let you know as soon as I wake up. Leave it to me."
"Oh, please."
Did you feel a little uncomfortable? The commander left behind the similarity and the tent.
