Vermillion

I woke up under the cold sky.

Kai, who had slipped out of the simplified tent, looked up at the sky and sighed.

It was bumpy all over my body... I lay my skin on a cloak and I slept on the ground, but I felt terrible.It's nothing compared to the bed at home where the cloth was laid.The blanket alone was cold and I couldn't sleep well.

Besides, when you get up, it's cloudy.

The moment I saw the gray sky, I thought, "I want to go home."

The army still moves. It has nothing to do with your personal will.....

Breakfast was provided.Stir-fried biscuits. Light wine. Dried grapes.

Above.

"I don't say luxury, so I want something warm."

"It's a luxurious story.... dinner anyway, breakfast is hard."

Mandel whispered mercilessly with his cheeks stretched with a biscuit.Next to that, Saskatchewan was still lying down eating grass.He seems to have no problem."Fufu, it's not the right way to train."

The Principality is rich in water and not as cold as the northern land.Kay told himself that this march was like heaven compared to his journey on the northern earth, where he was dying of water shortages.

However, when I was escorting the caravan, I wondered why everything was fine.I wondered myself, but calmly speaking, it was a warm season, so there was no problem.It wasn't particularly cold in the tent, and it didn't matter if the breakfast wasn't warm.

Looking around, everyone is silently packing breakfast.

If you spill any more grievances here, the air will just get worse.Don't talk about luxury... Kai decided to give up too much.

Well...

Throwing a biscuit into his mouth, Kay said to herself.

At least I'd like to eat some meat for dinner.

I'm counting on you, Kay.

"Leave it to me. As long as there's prey, I'll get it."

Everyone who hears it is laughing.I felt that the air became a little lighter.

†††

It's a good thing you got a great deal of food, so you can stay away from too many marches.

If you go out to the grasslands, you will be free from soot and smoke, and you will not be stressed by restricting your walking speed.Saskatchewan also seems to be able to run around freely... as if living in the city made me feel like I was hanging out hunting.

The streets behind you are lined up, and only Kai and Saskatchewan are here to meditate.

"I wonder how Eileen is..."

Looking up at the cold sky while draining the newly hare's blood.Aren't she looking up at the sky with her cheek cane on the table with her boring face?

--Kay had no reason to know, but at this time Eileen was asleep.

Nevertheless, once cloudy, it is difficult to see the stars and to use Kai's good weather forecast.As far back as yesterday, it seemed to be sunny and cloudy for a while....

If it rains a little, the grasslands will be quite moist.The soil around here is particularly soft and looks like a sponge.If you inhale plenty of water, your legs will sink a long time ago, and it will be quite difficult for you to run around with Kai on.

"It would be advantageous for me to lose my dust...."

It seems to have more disadvantages.

"... you think so?"

I have no one to talk to, so I have no choice but to ask Saskatchewan for consent.

"What happened?Saskatchewan turns around and says,He's smart, and he feels like he's going through a lot, but he's not going to talk to anyone.

Kay smiled bitterly and scratched behind Saskatchewan's ear.

Saskatchewan gladly narrowed her eyes.

Breathe deeply while wearing a leather cloak to protect yourself from the cold wind.

Cold air flows into your lungs, and you can feel a hot tide of oxygen running through your body.

Ah - I do exist and live in this world.

(You forgot this feeling.)

I never worried about the weather in the game [Demonal].At best, when it rained, there were no concerns about poor visibility, difficulty finding certain monsters, or to that extent, "it may be cold and cold".

"Cold" didn't exist in the first place.No matter how close it was to reality, the feeling that could cause pain to the player was omitted.So whether it's a snow mountain or a crater, the game was always calm, neither hot nor cold - that was the norm.

It's like a sterile room in a hospital.

My current self and my own game.Which is more comfortable? If asked, the latter.

But you want to go back? If asked, no.

It is decided that it is better now.The luxury of tomorrow's weather and cold is a real worry.Kai cautioned herself that she should chew the gratitude once more.

I can mourn that it has become luxurious.It is already luxurious in itself.

"All right, let's switch our minds."

When you're alone and stuck in your thoughts, you remember just after the transition.Compared to myself back then, I think I am much brighter now.I think you're starting to know that you're positive and enjoying life.

Life doesn't always go up.Isn't that right? You may be dissatisfied or distressed right now, but a happy family awaits after this.

At best, let's finish the flying dragon hunt, buy souvenirs in the surrounding city gallon, and triumph over Satina.At that time, I'll kiss Aileen, who will be a bit hungry, just now.

Dream and work hard on that day.

Can we hunt a little bit more?

First of all, there are tricks from what is in front of you.Kei, who put a bloody rabbit on his saddle, crossed Saskatchewan again to make dinner a little lively.

--Then, after finishing the hunt and returning to the bravery team, the captain's regular soldier Felten was waiting for him.

"Oh, you're back."

Felten admitted Kai's appearance and was clearly relieved.

"Can I help you?"

"Listen, I'm surprised. Somehow I got a call from the General Staff."

In that words, Kay looked at Mandel and the brave men.

"Did I... do something?"

"I don't know."

Felten answers without hesitation to Kay, who asks afraid.

Well, is it a call or a visit?Yeah, you're the best hunter in the Principality.Unlike our statue elephants, the great ones might want to hear something. "

Ironically, Felten snorted his nose as he bent his mouth to the side.

"Anyway, here's the summons.He wants you to come in for lunch. "

Felten, who pressed the paperwork into Kay's hand, waved his hand and left.

"... what should I do?"

"Well, Kay... I have to turn myself in."

Mandel shrugs his shoulders as he puts back on his hat with wings.

"Great man, I don't know what to talk about."

"Don't worry, Kay... I don't know either"

"Mandel...."

"It was Kai who called me.... not me. "

Mandel is finally distracted. Kay looked around for help, but everybody was chatting white, "It's cold today," "It's cold on the bones," etc., and he didn't look at us.

…………

Understanding that he was helpless, Kai had no choice but to drop his gaze on the subpoena in his hand and roar like a beast in his hands.

†††

Since it was a lunch break, Kay quickly packed only the biscuits and dried meat and went to the tent where the staff headquarters were located.

Around the middle of the long stretched army are many aristocrats and high-ranking military officials, carriages and colorful tents.Even though I was on a march, I was scattered with a maid and a great tea maid who spread out the tea set.

It's like a different world - I feel really uncomfortable being here.

And I hope you brought a subpoena, but I don't know exactly which tent to put my face on.

"I'm sorry."

Speak to military personnel passing by who seem to be relatively nice.

"What is it?"

I got a call.

When I showed the summons, the soldier looked at Kay and the paper twice and looked like he was stuck in a fox.

"You did this?... what a wonderful gentleman you need."

"I don't need anything."

"Ah... I see. Well, that happens sometimes."

A soldier who seems to have perceived something has a color of sympathy.

"Let me show you around. Don't be rude - for your own sake."

"'I've been summoned by subpoena.My name is Kaiichi Nogawa '... is that it? "

As I greeted him loudly on the spot, the soldier had an unspeakable look like he had found cheese completely covered in mold in the pantry.

"You know, there's a way to put it.... "It's an honor to have you here today, Hunter ○ (Honarara), and I'm here."

Kay didn't really understand the nuances of English, but at least it turned out to be a much more caring way of saying it than a straightforward translation from his own brain.

"" It is a great honor to have you here today, Kaichi Nogawa, the hunter. "

"Okay, that's good... maybe"

"Thank you very much. As you can see, I'm a Gentile and I'm struggling with language differences."

"Hey, you're still talking a lot.Look, this is your destination. "

Even in a few moments, the soldier showed a fine fabric tent on his chin at the fingertips.

"Ah! Well, don't tell me I taught you manners.In case you're rude, I can't take responsibility.... "

The soldier stabbed me in the nail with a serious tone.

"Because I'm a country man."

Kai also responded in an empty state.

"I've completely forgotten who taught me the trick.My mannerist teacher might get mad at me for being an ungrateful student. "

"Rest assured, I'm sure that the (...) previous (...) raw (...) is not so small as to make me angry... maybe"

Kai and the soldier looked at each other and smiled and broke up.

Okay. Okay.

The tent.

The entrance is full of objects, even guards with spears.I feel really heavy.....

When I handed the subpoena to the guards, one of the people who received it, "I'll see.", pulled it into the tent.

Looks like Caity-Nogawa showed up.

"Okay."

The sound of Gashangashan and metal armor approached.

"Are you here?"

Nuh, from the dim darkness of the tent, a well-equipped knight of gathai appeared.Although the destination is still a distant march, this heavy equipment… decorated with rose flowers, vines, running horses, etc., is luxurious armor and makes you look taller.

Come in, Kaich-Nogawa.

A knight who invites cummies. I can't see the face because I'm lowering the visor.But what a stiff voice... I've heard of it somewhere...

"This is Prince Aurelius, commander-in-chief of the Dragon Crusaders."

- Is there a son of a bitch?!and Kai, who was about to lose his eyes,

"- His Excellency The Right Honourable Walter Berkman-Schmuderer, Prime Minister of the Principality, who is the guardian of

I don't know what kind of son you are....

(No, Prime Minister of the Principality!?)

What a big deal!! And Kai peels his eyes.

"Don't be rude.Look, don't be rude...! "

Knights face to face, just in case.I never want to work disrespectfully with Kai, but I wonder what such a person can do for me.

And this voice that sounds like you're seriously wearing clothes from under your helmet... still sounds familiar to me...

With a moody feeling, Kai lowered his gaze into the tent and knelt on the spot with the Prime Minister's shoes at the end of his sight as he sat and waited in his chair.

"It is a great honor and privilege to have you here today, Kaichi Nogawa, the hunter -"

I thought it was a carpet with a lot of hands, so I named it Bar Reading.

"... face up"

A harsh voice echoed and Kai raised her face honestly.

And now I'm surprised that my balls are about to pop out.

With the Chancellor of the Principality sitting in front of you.Round face, dumpling nose, somewhere loving eyes.It was not such a dimension as whether the face was familiar or not.

My first encounter was with a public library, a silver mushroom hair.

The next time I met him, he had long, shiny brown hair.

But this time.

Already from the beginning.

Your head is rounded out.

'Valglen-Kremlat' - that's what he was supposed to have called it.

He is one of the prominent editors of the Encyclopedia of the Metropolitan Library, a magician who contracts with a "fairy of white light" with rare healing and power, and a "great man" who can enter and exit the gates of the first castle wall of the Metropolitan City, which should not be opened and closed at night.

No, but I don't think the Chancellor of the Principality...

"The Chancellor of the Principality, Uncle Walter Berkman-Schmuderer."

With a majestic expression, Val Glenn - no, Walter says.

"Kaich-Nogawa. It was a great visit."

And without breaking that majesty, I pachined and winked.
