Vermillion

103. Rapprochement

After all, the footsteps of the Flying Dragon Crusaders were dull enough to yawn.

Kai was also prepared from the beginning, and I thought it would be like this from the experience of caravan guards, so I don't feel that painful.

However, because of the large number of marches, the sand and dust that soared up again.

Sometimes the air is dry in winter and the sight is always bright.Saskatchewan also said, "Hey, isn't the air a little harsh?I'm spinning my nose with dissatisfaction. "

"I'm worried about losing my eyesight....."

Kai narrowed her eyes to avoid any dust.

"It's okay... I'll get used to it."

Mandel, on the other hand, shrugs his shoulders as he reaches the finish line.

He is a veteran.I knew that I would give up moderately.

A cobblestone path stretching loosely and serpentinely, sewing between gently rolling hills - the "Saint-Lex Street Road".

As the cold wind blows, the soldiers walk slowly.In the vicinity of the city, he was still wearing the body of an "army march", but when the spectators were sparse, he was relaxed and his steps turned into a relaxed one.

It doesn't look like we're going hunting for dragons, but the destination is far away, and it's still a long way to go before we meet them.There is no need to be frightened or anxious at this stage - they will come if they remain vigilant, so in fact, they are right as soldiers.

Keep walking with Daladara for hours.It was lunch break.They came out with hard-boiled biscuits, thin wine and dried meat shards.

Mandel was so scared... that he shook Kai around.

"Oh, it's gorgeous with dried meat.... that's the Flying Dragon Crusaders. "

I was impressed, and I didn't know anything else.

Kai feels guilty that his long life in the city (with servants) has made him completely luxurious.

I couldn't even expect dinner at this time. I had to secure some colour... and when I turned to the grasslands, I noticed that the rabbit appeared not as bright as in summer.

This bow, labeled "Dragon Scale Through," may also be the rabbit that draws the most blood.

Then there's nothing to note, the march stops before nightfall, and camp preparation begins.Dinner was a format in which each unit was given ingredients to make their own stew.

It turns out that the rations were very frightening, such as cereals and dried meat - Mandel said, it was surprisingly luxurious, both quantitatively and qualitatively - and Kay was pleased to provide all his troops with rabbit meat.In the next few weeks, if they succeed, they will join us for a few months.I've never moved on to get along.

"Hey, fat!"

"That's the best hunter in the Principality!"

Of course, the brave men were also very pleased.

Enjoy stew that has become a bit harsher than neighboring troops while surrounding the fire to deepen rapprochement.

The brave men gathered at the tournament like Mandel, veterans who excelled in handling bows and crossbows, famous hunters, woodwalkers, and flow magicians. There were many people from various origins.

Some of them participated only for the sake of fame and accomplishment, but instead of being powerless, they came out in a proper capacity (such as a country master or a peasant child), and this is how we can talk properly.

All in all, they were easy to get along with.Of course, there are no rude people involved in Kai who will add colors to dinner, and it can be said that they are building a good relationship.

Incidentally, it was almost compulsory for Kay and Mandel, as well as other martial arts winners, and the rest were mainly volunteers.

So...

A massive mercenary with stew in his eyes asks.

"You hunted two forest lizards, didn't you?I've heard enough bard songs, but how was it actually?Tell me! "

He has a lovely wild smile, and his name is Hubert.Originally a mercenary on the eastern border, he waved his sword to protect the caravan from the Dragons, but he went all the way to Satina before joining the Valiant Corps.

The goal is gold and a shard's fame.Hubert says I'm tired of dealing with lizards.

He asked if it would have been a waste to come to Satina to go east again, and he said, "Actually, Satina has a sister and a couple, so I came to see her!There's a new kid. Come on, it's cute!"and smiled.

"A forest lizard... that's right..."

When asked, Kay looked at Mandel.

To protect the village of Vaak, the death battle with the monster of [Deep (Abyss)] is still fresh in my memory.

"Mandel, can you do me a favor?I don't have a good explanation.... "

"... even though I don't speak very well."

"Mandel? Mandel? Mandel? Mandel? Mandel? Mandel?

A slightly slippery young man comes in his mouth.It seems that he is the second son of some country master and his name is Kristen.

With a round face, the round eyes are impressive.I think people are good at all.Though I feel a little weak, I feel healthy and have enough health to follow the march without any problems.His shape is not due to self-degradation, but merely an indication of affluence.

It seems that he joined the volunteer army to confess to the woman he liked.You're going to propose when you get home safely....

"Ah, it's the mandel.He helped me a lot. "

Kai nods with a slender face. Keep it that way and say, "Tell them!Mandel said, "Do you want to get in that hand?"

For a while, Kay and I didn't want to talk about English skills and I pressed each other with Mandel who wanted to refrain because he was bad at speech, but the Mandel broke because everyone was in a hurry.

"Well... that was close to the end of autumn.When I returned from the forest as usual, suddenly Kai came to visit the village.And I was told. A rescue request has arrived from the village of Vaak.I need your help. "

Mandel talks.

Indeed, Mandel was not the type of person whose tongue turned, as he himself said.But the honest narrative had a true imminent excitement because of the parties, and instead he grasped the hearts of the listeners.Sometimes people are tired of listening to the songs of the great bard.

"--And finally, he appeared.... incredibly big, monster.The carriage was taller than honor, and we all decided to look up at it.We have to do it here.... but when I put my weapon in place, the earth shakes again.And from behind, another monster just as big came out... "

Someone swallows the raw spit...

Rather than being a party, Kai was also harassed and overheard, and she was surprisingly pulled by her hair.

"Yikes, Yikes, what is it?... Sake!"

Looking back, Saskatchewan was shaking her tail in a slightly irritable mood.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Saskatchewan's hungry too."

Don't you eat enough roast rabbits that you just gave me?I have to take the bait from the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce carriage.

I'm sorry, I have to get out of my seat.

Kay sat in the middle, but everyone listened to Mandel, so there was nothing to be particularly sorry about, and he was able to get out.

(What, you're not a good mouthpiece, and you're not going to be a storyteller....)

With a feverish tone, Mandel talks about the death of a forest lizard, aiming for the back of the army.

--After the crusaders, there was a long line of vehicles.

In addition to the supply units filling the stomachs of a large number of people, the Chamber of Commerce carriages are coming out.Those who do business with soldiers, those who judge luxury goods with officers, doctors of the flow, street entertainers, barons, and even prostitutes tents.

Kay, who found the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce flag instantly with his extraordinary vision, visited the carriage with Saskatchewan.

"Hey, Kay! How's it going, what's the brave team?"

It was Dagmar, a dark-browned, sunburned bearded mercenary, who welcomed me.He was an exclusive mercenary at the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce and worked with a caravan escort between Satina and Wolvern.One of Kay's witnesses to the Great Bear Killer.

"Hey, the Girls were just nice people.But somehow, you're walking slowly.And the dust is terrible... I miss the regular caravan guard. "

"Hahaha, it must be!"

Do you agree, Dagmar, who laughs bitterly?He is a man who is familiar with Holland and is somehow related to Kay, but this time he volunteered for the caravan himself.

─ Hey, I'm old too.I was trying to calm my hips down, but I wanted to put a foil on the end. "

If the last escort mission was to accompany the Flying Dragon Crusaders, there would be no better honor than this.When he gets back, he'll be in a cautious post at Satina HQ.

Besides, I watched Kai's "big bear killing", but the "forest lizard" missed it.This time, I won't miss "Feilong"!

- I don't know if I have any such feelings.

"Whoa, Saskatchewan. Eat it."

"Burufufu"

Saskatchewan seemed to be very satisfied with the plenty of vegetables that Magusa gave her.

"What do you say, Kay? I can't get it out much, but why don't you come along and have a drink?"

While I was waiting for Saskatchewan, Dagmar pulled into the carriage and whispered again.It has a metal water bottle (skittle) in its hand.

"No!...... mmm"

There was something very appealing, but I can bear it here.

"Thank you, but I'm sober."

"... ahh, are you working with the lady?"

Miss, not to mention Irene.Almost certainly pregnant, she has been turning down alcohol for a while because of her colon.Kai was ready to share the pain.... I'm not insensitive enough to enjoy a drink in front of Eileen, who's crying blood.

"But it's okay, I'm in the army."

"No, well, yes, but I'm still thinking of Eileen waiting alone...."

With a sigh, Kai looks up at the sky as the sun goes down.

--No, it was my first day out and I wanted to go home.No, I'm sure I want to go home from the beginning.

"... besides, just swallow me back and let everyone in your squad take it easy. I'm going to get a total skunk."

Everything from sharp mercenaries to nosey walkers in the woods.

"Hahaha, that's definitely a tight shoulder.Shall I leave this with you for a while?I'll give you a toast when the hunt is over. "

Is that good enough?And Dagmar winks in tears.

"Of course."

Kay answered with a smile.

Once Saskatchewan is satisfied, thank Dagmar and return to the unit.

On foot, at the end of the road, soldiers who had finished their dinner began to prepare their beds.

(Nojuku...)

Kay looks pathetic when she says it's been a long time.I've become a truly luxurious body in the city.

Now I wonder if I can sleep properly in my tent with sleeping bags... the blowing away of the wild trees will make me feel horrible.

Besides, I slept alone. I miss human skin.More precisely, Eileen.

After all, Kai, who brings Eileen's shadow magic equipment, can communicate with Eileen if she consumes magic after dusk.

However, as the distance opened, the burden increased and it could not be used, and when the army looked at it, it was decided to contact Kai about once every few days after watching the timing when he could be alone.

(Do you still want to stop today...)

I was afraid that if I could not bear to see what it would be like to camp on the first night, I would probably get in touch with you every day.

(I'd like to go home... if a flying dragon breaks in and crashes to death on its own)

As Saskatchewan stunned to Kai, who sighed sentimentally while thinking that he couldn't even get stupid, he snorted his nose.
