Hey, hey, Al.
"What the hell?"
Is it time to go hungry?
I just had lunch, though.
I like dried fruit.
“You're not going to have a conversation, are you?”
Aldis stands on a small hill.
Underneath you can see a lush meadow that stretches as far as the eye can see, and a collection of foreign objects are sitting in it.
The identity of the foreign object was a large group of figures with small tents and weapons - the Wisteria Mercenaries to which Aldis belonged.
A regiment of more than 300 mercenaries will not always have enough lodgings for everyone in the town.
In the case of a very large town, most of them are basically camping because there is no accommodation that only accepts strangers.
That's because they have the power to protect themselves from wild beasts and repel them, but that's why no one is so optimistic that they can relax without being vigilant.
Of course, even the mighty Wisteria Mercenaries are no exception, and they need to search and guard their surroundings to ensure their safety. Each time, mercenaries patrol around the camp by order of Grace, the commander of the regiment.
That's why Aldis is coming up to the hill overlooking the camp.
The patrols were basically in pairs.
But there are no other mercenaries beside Aldis.
There were only four beasts of golden colour who understood the language.
"The dried fruit doesn't rot and it's very sweet.It's amazing how humans can think of that, Al. "
This beast, named Rona, has now grown up and joined the ranks of adults.
When I met him, my body, which was like a golden fur ball, had completely grown, and the veterans were wearing enough strength to fight each other.
Aldis was on patrol alone because Lorna was recognized as a strong enough soldier.
Rather, the surrounding mercenaries have even seen Rona as stronger than Aldis.
It may be curious that Rona remains in the mercenary regiment even if she can live alone without any problems, but perhaps the most important reason is that she wants to make it sweet.
"Hey, you've had enough of looking around."Let's go home, Al. Let's go dried fruits too! "
Rona rushed to Aldis' feet.
His golden tail swayed like a paintbrush.
Aldis wanted to sigh, but Rona was right enough to play the role of a patrol.
“All right, all right. Well then, let's go back through the moors over there."
"Oops! Let's go! Let's go!"
Aldis chased slowly behind Rona, who was in a hurry to give priority to food.
Ardis returns to the camp to observe the surrounding conditions and turns to Grace's tent for a report.
Along the way, Lona suddenly stops.
What's the matter, Rona?
”Nh... somehow Lou is angry”
Rona turned her face to the right as she twitched her ears.
Lou?
It looks like you're making fun of me, though.
Rona looked at Aldis with a look on her face.
"... report later"
Concerned by Rona's words, Aldis rushed to his right.
Soon, as she approached, Aldis's ears began to hear voices.
There's no doubt that the voice you hear belongs to Luchel.
As you can see, Aldis's face also becomes uncomfortable.
"Please don't do this!"
The first thing that entered her eyes was Lucille, who was unusually rough with her voice and sheltered a number of girls behind her.
And there were about five men confronting Rouchell.
The cause of the discomfort for Aldis is this way.
All of them were newcomers who had joined the Wisteria Mercenary Corps on a temporary basis the other day.
Even if you're a newcomer, you're not an amateur in battle.
All of them were strong enough to belong to other mercenaries.
When they took part in the big battle, the mercenaries they belonged to were devastated, and they seemed to be running out of places to go, and they were relying on Grace, who had a reputation for strength.
They are well above Ardis and others in terms of fighting power, but at this stage they are temporarily joining the regiment, and they have not yet been given the regimental uniform that is a proof of official regiment membership.
There are more or less people coming from other mercenaries, but they don't seem to understand the Wisteria Mercenaries' unwritten laws yet.
Even though it should have been a strong phrase at the time of joining the group, I can't escape the "common sense" they had so far soaked in.
Seeing Rouchell confronting them and the girls frightened behind them, Aldis senses the situation.
"Isn't that nice, you don't have to spend the night with them?"Just give me a drink of alcohol. "
At the forefront of the men was a man named Marty, the leader of the five.
As long as he had a smile on his face, he had a round face that seemed loving, but his expression was grumpy.
"They are children who are being raised as mercenary apprentices!"I'm not here to entertain you! ”
Huh! I guess the only reason a woman is in the mercenary corps is for chores and nighttime opponents!
The Wisteria Mercenaries don't crush children.
Grace, the leader of the regiment, would not allow her to be used as a tool to comfort a man.
They didn't understand that.
“I don't know about other mercenaries, but at least the Wisteria Mercenaries don't have women for that purpose!”
"If you can't fight, it's only natural that they should console us if they're fighting for their lives!"Hand it over without telling me anything! "
I can't!
Marty's extended hand was slapped by Rouchell.
"Cut it out, you pussy!"
Perhaps the weaklings rebelled against him, but Marty reached for the sword that was sitting on his waist.
"Stop it."
As expected, Aldis broke into the room, even though he couldn't keep his eyes shut.
Seeing Aldis's figure, Rouchell's steep expression softened.
"What are you going to do with it?"
With cold eyes, Marty bites Aldis in anger.
"Ahhn? Don't let the kid down!"Don't let half the people mouth out when they're in shape! "
"There is not a single person or half of people to observe the discipline of the regiment."What you're doing is clearly a disruption to discipline.It is unacceptable to raise one's hand to a child under guardianship.Can't you see that the Mercenary Corps you used to have and this Wisteria Mercenary Corps are different? "
"Hmm. What is it that a half-man looks so majestic..."
When Marty laughed in his nose, he looked down at Aldis like he was licking her.
His face, which distorted and stared at only one side, was so ugly that he couldn't bear to see it.
"Are you going to say you're going to take on the five of us alone? Don't make me laugh."
Aldis responds with pity to Marty's mockery.
"You can laugh because you don't know anything."Look around you. "
I guess Aldis pointed it out to me.
Marty and his crew look around and change their complexion.
Ardis wasn't the only one here to hear the commotion.
Dozens of mercenaries have gathered to surround Marty and the others, staring at them with a cold, piercing gaze.
In his hand was a sword that remained contained in a sheath, but some of them were already showing signs of ease.
The Wisteria Mercenaries don't exploit children or women.
There were only five Martys who could not understand the insanity of the other mercenaries as a matter of course in the Wisteria Mercenaries.
Tch, this guy's always got a little joke on his head.
I guess you just decided it wasn't good enough.
"Hey, let's go!"
After spitting on the ground, Marty took the other four and left the scene.
But Aldis didn't miss it.
As she left, Marty looked toward Lucille and smiled.
Did you see that?
Lorna must have noticed.
He asks without stating anything.
Yeah.
I don't think Marty's gonna back down quietly, trying to hide his dissatisfaction and blend in with the Wisteria Mercenaries.
Aldis felt something ominous about Marty's condition and began to wonder what was going on.
