Episode 6 The Holy Knights
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Five years ago. The city of Popol.
"Oh no! What are the Holy Knights doing here?!
"Lucas, calm down.
"I can't calm down! Even Captain Canama knows about them, don't you?!
"Of course.
"I'm still a fresh recruit, but I know exactly what it's like to be in the hands of the Holy Knights!
I came to speak to Captain Canama when I learned that there were people in Popol called the Knights of the Holy Order.
Captain Canama was a guard made to protect the city of Popol at the time. The captain.
Brown eyes and all-back blonde hair. A thick arm on the muscle. There is a big scratch on my face. Rigid Kanama. Former A-rank adventurer called. After leaving the adventurer and returning to the city of Popol, where he comes from, he remains captain of the guards.
"Then we should drive them back!
"No way. If you do that, you will be instantly smashed into such a small city.
"Captain Kanama!
"Nann!
"Kh...."
Captain Canama returns everything I say.
When you get stuck in your words, your footsteps get closer from the outside.
"Captain Kanama! The Holy Knights have arrived!
"Okay.
Captain Canama nods honestly after hearing the words of the soldiers who came to report.
………
"Lucas, you need to cool off a little here.
…………
Captain Canama leaves the guards' lockup. I'm angry that I can't say anything anymore.
"Shit!"
My fist hit my desk, causing pain and fever.
The Knights of the Holy Order served in the deep green forest that stretched west of the city of Popol. To be precise, a monster who lives in a dark green forest...
A dark green forest with monsters inhabiting its middle layer.
Green skin, about the size of a human child, cat's back body. A monster with no hair and a bad smell like raw garbage. Goblin.
It's a C-rank monster, but it has a little wisdom and uses weapons. This monster is hated by everyone.
The reason is not bad smell, but fertility. There are no females in the goblins, and all goblins are male. So how do you increase the number? It catches a woman of human form, other than a goblin, and makes her pregnant. And as soon as he begat the son of Goblin, he begat the next, and begat him till she dies, and when she dies, he will bring him after her.
The opponent is a monster. It doesn't change anything where you say the nature. But it's only natural that I hate monsters like that.
Damage from such goblins has been occurring in the dark green forest lately.
Of course, the Adventurers and our guards were on their way to exterminate the Goblins, but they were forced to retreat before the violence.
That's where the Knights of the Holy Order appeared.
They are globally powerful religious organizations and worshippers of God.
But the situation is terrible.
He is doing all kinds of evil, killing from end to end those who do not belong to the Holy Knights, saying that they are a judge of God, a treacherous person, etc.
The Knights of the Holy Knights will attack you if you say it, so nobody will say it, but a bunch of scum. That is the common perception in the world.
However, if we look at the way we do things, we are also doing things like this one to crush places that have suffered a lot from monsters in a few minutes. If you look only there, you will undoubtedly do good.
If you look out for the way you do it....
Having arrived in the city of Popol, the Knights flew back into the city and strolled with their faces. People don't come out of the house tightly closed doors to avoid getting caught up.
After a few days, the Knights of the Holy Order finally moved to the Goblin crusade. It happened that morning.
Our guards stood in front of the Knights.
They are embroidered with bright red threads, along with bells and wings, the symbol of the Knights of the Holy Order, in pure white, head-to-head faithful clothing.
"Our guards are here to help.
"Of course. Kukuku...."
One of the believers leaks a lowly laugh.
"What's so funny!
"Stop it, Lucas!
"Kh...."
Captain Canama stops laughing.
"This is... Captain.
"Dear Agaville,
Captain Kanama lowered his head deeply to a man in silver embroidered faithful clothes who was different from the others. Agaville.
Long black hair and black eyes. Thin eyes like snakes. A loud voice that is hindered by eclampsia. This is the captain of the Holy Knights.
"Don't let each other burn your hands.
Your eyes woosh in your thin eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'll tell you what.
"Never mind.
We are now heading to the crusade against the Goblins. May I take the lead?
"Yes, I'll take care of it.
Really? That's good. Well, thank you.
When Agavir opens his mouth, his long tongue comes out and licks his lips. He's a creepy man.
"Let's go.
"... yes.
Captain Canama taps me in the back to tell me I'm in the lead because of the noise.
After that, the captain will take the lead and head for the Deep Green Forest.
Everybody pull out your swords!
"" "" Yes!
Remove the sword from your hips. A shining blade that reflects the light of the sun.
"Outer monsters are kicked off appropriately. The goal is to destroy the Goblins. Don't be late!
The captain steps into the woods.
Outer layers are full of monsters like slime and horn rabbits. Speaking of recruits, I've been waving my sword quite a bit, and I'm not stupid enough here.
The leaves change from green to gray as you continue through the forest. That's the landmark in reaching the middle class.
Middle-rise! Hold tight!
Yes!
Follow the captain's back. Even though it is still morning, the light is blocked and dim because of the dense trees. The air that touches the skin is irritating.
"Be quiet.
The captain lowers his posture and hides himself in the grass. We hide ourselves in the same way, looking beyond the captain's gaze.
I see a green monster.
"Goblin.
"It's still a lot... even if you can see it, there are thirty of them.
In terms of guards alone, there are about twenty people. I left five people behind to protect the city. In other words, there are fifteen guards here now.
"There you are.
Agaville speaks from behind. When you put your tongue out and look beside you, one of the Knights of the Holy Order moves.
"What are you doing...?
I hear a loud noise a little later.
Rattling rattling!
"Ha?!
From the woods, a cloth-covered truck headed towards the Goblins with great momentum.
Baghan!
The wagon pushes the goblins away and hits the trunk of the tree in the back and falls apart.
"Gegi?!
Geez!
The Goblins are holding their weapons and watching the cargo.
"What?!
"Be quiet. Goblin will find out.
"Kh...."
Captain Canama shuts up without knowing what happened. But then you'll regret it.
"Nooooooooooo!!
All of a sudden, I heard a woman screaming to break the air from the truck. Looking back at the sad screams, the goblins pulled their hair and the women came out from under the cloth.
"Stop... stop!
Gee gee gee gee gee gee gee gee!
Five women are surrounded and covered by goblins, weeping and screaming. Your hands and feet are shackled and you are not slowly moving.
And all five of them have faces that I've seen before. She was a woman in the city of Popol. I noticed two people in particular.
"Oh no... Mr. Sally... Mr. Terris..."
Sally is a receptionist at the Adventurers Guild. He is close to Mr. Puka and Mr. Sylvie, and has become a specialty of the Alliance as a trio.
Terris is Dumby's wife. Dumby used to be a guard and a best friend of Captain Canama's.
I know the other three well. Everyone is a woman in a position that the Knights of the Holy Order cannot hide from.
"Captain!
Captain Canama was running to the Goblins before I called him.
"Get your filthy hands off me!!
"Let's go!
It was when I tried to follow Captain Canama.
"Absolutely. That's awkward. Do it."
"" "" Yes. "
When Agaville calls out to his men, several people draw a magical formation.
"No way...."
Goww!!
A bright red flame pops out of several depicted magical circles and pours it down onto the goblins that swarm with women.
"Ghhhhh!"
Gee gee gee!
Naturally, the goblins burn in flames. But it was synonymous with the burning of women.
"Yaaaaaaaa!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Her throat was burned by the flames and her voice crushed, asking for help.
Women whose bodies are wrapped in flames and still stuck in shackles keep rolling on the ground.
"You're lying..."
"Ahahahahahaha! It's still in my hands!
The women who rolled around stopped moving slowly and turned into black charcoal lumps.
Sally, Terris, and the other women were very kind.
Your face is distorted by pain and hate.
………
Galan.....
The captain who was running was dropping his sword on the spot, sitting on the ground and uttering an unspeakable voice.
"Ah... ahh..."
"Captain... these scum!!
Running straight to Agavil with one hand, the men around him seized him.
"You bastard! You bastards!
"Even though I destroyed the goblin and gave it to you, it seems like it was terrible.
Agaville doesn't try to hide a smile from Niyaniya.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
"I'm scared, I'm scared.
Agavil caught sight of the goblins and women wrapped in flames as he said so. I'll never forget my face.
"Kill it."
The cold sound of Agaville's voice.
One of the men who was holding me was poking the blade.
Bush!
"... huh... hah..."
A warm, raw liquid from above my head falls on my whole body. It was Captain Kanama's back that was seen in my eyes when he pulled his collar and threw it behind me.
"Captain!
"I'll take his neck off! Return to the city and consolidate your defenses!
Me and the captain.
"No way!!
A strong word from a captain who doesn't speak too roughly.
"Yes, Captain..."
"If you die, who will protect the city?"
……
"Lucas... I'm sorry. You were right. We should have fought from the beginning.
Captain Canama, who only saw me once, looks back at the Knights of the Holy Order.
"Captain...."
"Go!!
Captain Canama storms in the presence of a crowd of sacred knights.
"Captain!
"Lucas, let's go!
A few guards forced him out of the woods.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
"That was the last thing I saw of Captain Canama.
There was a moment of silence. I couldn't find words in a story that was too outrageous.
"... and then the Knights of the Holy Knights?
"No, I didn't come. Crusaded the remaining Goblins and left. It wasn't strange that it should have been destroyed, but it seems that there was a message from the headquarters.
"So you put up a fence?
"These aren't the kind of people that can stop it, but it's better than nothing.
………
You can't say anything to Baccal's sad smile.
"Sally is Elise's sister. Terris and I are close. I used to face the inn with Elise.
"I see... so did Nihis-chan know about Ellie..."
"It was hard for everyone, but it must have been Mr. Dumby who was the hardest. I lost my best friend and wife at the same time, and the body was ruthless..."
The grief would have been unimaginable.
"Don't nod even if you don't want to talk about it..."
"It was a regrettable incident for us too. That's why the gatekeepers are standing.
"Elise became an adventurer afterwards... and he used to laugh and talk a lot until the incident..."
"From that story, did Ellie take revenge on Agaville with Dojil?
"I might be thinking. Dojil has been on quests in other cities on several occasions. It's no wonder you're listening to Agaville somewhere.
Dojil said that there were not enough people.
If you're going to deal with the Holy Knights, it won't be enough to gather all the adventurers in this city.
"... thank goodness. It's good to hear that story.
"Never mind. Besides, if Ellis is trying to cross a dangerous bridge, call us, too.
"Okay.
Leave Lucas and Baccal and head for the Adventurer Alliance. In Lucas' story, Sally, Puka, and Sylvie were friendly threesomes.
If Sally and I had been close, we would certainly have been close to Ellie. I'm sure Puka and Sylvie won't be able to stop asking about Ellie.
"The Holy Knights...?
I remember that there are three forces in this world.
Demon King Army led by the Demon King. There are many things I don't know about this. From what I've heard, there's an army of people called the Demons... but I've never met the Demons. There is an area called the Magic Realm ruled by the Demons... but I've never been there before.
And the second force is the Holy Knights.
Sure... they must have believed in a goddess named Eischleball. I don't remember what kind of goddess she is.
When I was playing as a fan delge, I didn't hear about these tyrants. I might just not know because I wasn't interested.....
Once there was a Knights of the Holy Order event, I received it. There was some information written at that time. The color of the embroidery certainly determined the position. The red is the lowest, and the silver, gold, and black are rising.
Only a few people were allowed to embroider black.
And the last faction is the others.
Those who do not belong to the Demons or the Knights of the Holy Order, like those who are here in the city of Popol. Adventurers belong basically to others. It is the presence of this adventurer that prevents the Holy Knights and Demons from taking in other forces.
These three forces maintain an exquisite balance in the world. Because the Holy Knights believe in God, they are incompatible with the Demons, and other forces are basically bystanders. It's like that.
"I don't think the Knights of the Sacred Knights had anything to do with the other factions either... but they seem to like it pretty much, and it's not the same place as in the game...?
"What are you talking about alone?
"... where are we?
"This is the Adventurers Guild.
"Ah, Mr. Puka and Mr. Sylvie. Hello."
"Yes, hello.
"Hello.
A few seconds after the greeting, the time of silence flows.
"... eh?! When did you join the guild?!
"I was surprised because I kept getting bumps all the time when Fluffler came.
"Wow... I warped..."
"No, it's coming in normally. Walk."
"Huh?!
I haven't slept yet... sleepwalking...?
"More than that, yes.
Money that goes to the counter.
"What?
"Quest rewards. You delivered horn rabbit meat and fur, right?
Ah!
"Ah!"... did you forget?
"Waslet Tenayo."
"You immediately know that face and voice is a lie.
"No, I've been thinking a little bit about something else.
I wanted to ask you two something about it. Can you tell me a little bit when you're done with your work?
"To us?
"I'm going to have dinner. Can I ask you something?
"Are you sure?! Let's go!"
"Sylvie. It's not very favorable, is it?
"It's okay, it's okay! Looks like you'll get a lot of rewards!
"A lot...?
Puka, don't shake your heart there...
"The reward for the Horn Rabbit Assault Quest is 100,000 Dice.
"Ju?!
"That's... amazing, right?
Normally, it would be about 10,000 dice for three pieces of meat and fur.
"By the way... may I ask why that happened?
"Aftertreatment such as blood drainage was excellent and the quality of the meat was high. They found a buyer at a high price right away.
However, the reason for this amount is because of the fur. Seems to have sold well. Excellent quality in scratch-free condition. They sold it for a pretty good price.
"... dismantling is important.
Let's dismantle it carefully from now on.
"If that's all, you can eat delicious food!
"... I was actually thinking I'd make it... but I think I'd better go eat it.
"Cynthia?
Dietary conditions in this world are not very good. If you go to a big city, you can eat quite a bit of food, but it's quite expensive and not that delicious. The reason is because the condiments are expensive. Just salt, eh?! It's so expensive. It was the same in the game, but I didn't care about the taste because the hunger of the character would recover.
Such expensive items can't be sold in a rural city like this, and they taste thin and have bread and potatoes as staple foods.
That's why the two gatekeepers ate so much.
"I want to eat! Sinya-kun's cooking! You don't have to come, do you?
"I'm coming too! By all means!"
"Shit."
"Shit. What is that? Shit. What!"
"Well... can you come to the perfume kiosk after work?
"Let's go!
"I'm sorry to bother you.
Attach the two promises and head to the workshop. I used it when I cooked horn rabbit meat, but there was also a kitchen in the workshop.
"Alright, let's make it crisp!
Draw a magical team of inventories to see a list.
"I'm suspected of using bad meat, and it's horn rabbit meat. Because it has a fairly light taste, do you need a thick flavor?
Then... I had a stewed dish the other day...
Oh, there's pasta noodles. And... tomatoes. Tomato pasta with horn rabbits.
Pasta noodles and tomatoes are not expensive and are sold in the city. All pasta is raw noodles, but if there is an inventory, it doesn't matter if it is raw noodles. Looks like an inventory.
"Fufufu... I didn't know your bachelorette cooking skills would be useful here... sad... gunn.
I'll make you the best pasta! Uh-oh!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Concon...
"It's Puka and Sylvie.
"Please!"
Gacha...
I waited in the hotel room at the scent pavilion, and the two of them came in.
They're both dressed in private clothes, and they're beautiful, so Eyebless is here.
"I'm here... but where do you cook?
"I already made it! For now, sit down and sit down.
I'll show them inside.
I've got a table and chairs for the three of you.
"It's nice to sit down..."
You two on top of your head? Sit on a chair floating a mark.
Well then, let's get it out.
Draw a magical team of inventory and place the cooked pasta right in front of them.
"What?! From where?!
"Speaking of which, the people of Watanabe could use the magic of inventory.
"Ah! I forgot!
"It seems to be a magic that can only be used by Watanabe, and it's quite a useful magic, so I try not to use it as much as I can outside.
