EP. 84 -The young lady falls asleep
“Don't be scared! Push here!”
At the eastern gate of the royal capital, there was a fierce battle with the demons that were still coming.
The captain of the Defense Corps puts his subordinates, but his expression is steep.
Despite the time has passed since the battle started, the sight spreading in front of you is still the same.
In the invisibility of the endless monster, all of the units have a strong color of fatigue.
The horde of the rushing monsters will immediately swallow them with the walls and broke into the royal capital.
However, the facilitators of the defense unit are just humans, unlike monsters who do not know fatigue.
Despite the elite, there is a limit to keeping magical power without rest.
In situations where the headquarters still cannot be contacted, reinforcements cannot be expected, and there is no sign that the flocks of the rushing monsters will be reduced at all.
It is clear in everyone's eyes that this situation continues, and the fact has further reduced the spirit of the members of the unit.
“Oops!”
Such a tightrope cannot last forever, and one of the flight -shaped monsters that appears in a moment of a moment invades the royal capital beyond the wall.
Although it is a demon, it is a disaster itself for the people who do not have the way of fighting.
If you leave that monster as it is, you will get many sacrifice.
But now, the knights are all full of deals with monsters in front of them.
“Stop it!”
The demon smiles with a evil smile and looks at prey in his eyes, and attacks the cruel screaming of the captain elsewhere.
On the verge of digging the body of the people who were walking on the street, the monster's body was shot out of the flash that flew out of nowhere.
“Gaooo!?”
“What is…?”
A monster that shoots out the center of the chest and is hit by the ground with the same momentum.
The captain found several shadows coming from the sky far behind, trying to find the source of the flash.
“It's a flying knight!”
When someone in the unit notices the identity, everyone who was there was cheering.
Riding on the back of Tenma with a white wing, the horses and horses, they jump into a group of monsters beyond the castle gate, and quickly destroy the monsters.
Their Flying Knights, who have been honored to ride the rare magical Pegasus in the kingdom, are units directly to the royal family and are a trump card of the kingdom.
The arrival of such a powerful reinforcement was enough to increase the morale of allies that had been understood.
“Can you hear it? Now, I went there for reinforcements. ”
“Is that voice, Deputy Director!”
While the knights are excited by the appearance of the flying knights, the captain's communication crystal is contacted.
The long -awaited word, the captain immediately jumped to the crystal.
What I can hear from the other side of the crystal was definitely the Deputy Director of the Kingdom Knights NO2.
“I'm sorry to be late. I understand that situation. ”
“What is this happening!”
“I have no time, so I say briefly, but I'm currently being attacked by an unknown enemy in various places in the royal capital.”
“Hey…!?”
I understand that it is an obvious abnormal situation, but the captain loses words in unexpected situations, such as the royal capital being attacked.
It is a daily occurrence of a demon attack, but it is rare in the long history of the kingdom, such as a clear human attack on the royal capital.
“Currently, the leader is engaged with the enemy at the Knight Headquarters. Therefore, I am conducting instead. ”
Regardless of the captain who cannot hide the surprise, the deputy leader behind the crystal continues to speak.
Although it was expected that the deputy leader was not the leader of the knight who would be in charge, the deputy leader was appearing, but the fact that he could deal with the strongest knight in the kingdom is that the opponents who are currently attacking the royal capital are considerably powerful.
“We are currently conducting the recovery work of the large -beed world, but it still takes time to re -develop. Until then, I want you to protect the place. We also arrange to turn reinforcements there as much as possible. ”
“I'm afraid! You guys are patient for a while. I'll definitely protect you here until the restoration of the large coalesis!”
“” “” Tsu !! “” ”
But just because the enemy is powerful can't afford to lose.
When the communication is terminated, the captain will re -instruct the subordinate who has recovered the morale.
Unlike before, there are encouraging reinforcements.
There was no reason that they lost like a monster.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“The knights of the kingdom will do their best. Is this the result of the Kaoru no Uta?”
“Buh!”
In a room in a mansion in the royal city, Regina steps on a man who rolls at his feet, listening to the reports of knights in various places heard from the communication crystal.
The man kicked up the slum prostitute, and the man was ugly and shouted like a pig.
No one would expect this man who was kicked to be the deputy leader who had been commanding the Knights so far.
There was no fragment, such as the dignifiedness that he had shown to his subordinates earlier, and the deputy director was just smiling ecstatic because he was kicked by his husband.
“So what happened to that boy?”
“Yes, mothers. The carriage with Crow -sama has just passed the northern gate and escaped from the royal capital.”
“It was good”
Regina, who has lost her interest in her servant, turns to her side by side, and she has been watching the rise report that her goal has been achieved.
Regina, like Selpan, was required to return the kingdom to return to the crow.
They are not good at intelligence games like cellpan, but instead they have a way of fighting.
Nowadays, there are many legislines who have been captivated by the sex industry in the royal capital and takes a man as a beanbag.
Although it is a hidden ball that is not a lot of use, there is no work to temporarily distribute the kingdom knights in various places if you use many services, from the bottom knight to the bigger as a deputy leader.
“… How about those children?”
“I just contacted me, and they are already preparing for escape. However, only Dry is still engaged with the Knight leader…”
“It's a child who is at all handy… Tell Ains to collect it quickly.”
“Yes, now”
While pretending to be a wind that is nothing, Yuna, who understands who he was really worried, smiled a small smile in his mother who could not be honest and contacted the Ains.
While remembering something bitter of such a daughter's reaction, Regina leans on the back of the chair and checks the situation in various places.
“It's still terrible. If the royal capital is so messed up, my business will go up.”
All of the reports that come up are enormous damage reports to the royal capital, which will take a long time to recover.
Naturally, Regina, who is doing business in the royal capital, is inevitable.
Despite the fact that we have partially joined this turmoil, it is a deficit for a while.
“Mother, you're so happy, right?”
“Do you look so?”
However, Yuna noticed that there was no negative emotion like a grudge, but rather smiling.
“Well, that's right. It's a masterpiece to turn the country into an enemy for one woman.
“Well, if you get your mother”
In fact, the purpose of Crow is the rescue of only one woman, while doing so much.
It is a completely annoying affection for the involved side, but it is inevitable that Regina, who has always seen only ugly men as a prostitute, is good.
“I can't help but fall in love with that child…”
That's why Ains will follow him.
Regina muttered somewhere lonely, recalling the deceased best friend's forgotten form.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“Young lady, let's do it here today.”
After escaping from the royal capital, he ran a horse without a break, but he stopped the carriage at the end of the road because the area was getting darker.
To put it true, I wanted to earn a little more from the royal capital, but the horses were exhausted through running.
It's forbidden to overdo it as long as you have to do your best for a few days.
If this is a devil like Wyvern or Vicorn, running for three days and three nights has no trouble, but they are too noticeable to use them.
In the first place, it is correct that I can't use it because it doesn't listen to human orders without magic…
“It will be a long journey from now on. Please eat as much as possible.”
“…”
If you make a simple soup using a wild set that was loaded in the carriage, you will try to hand it to the young lady with the bowl.
However, the young lady sitting on the ground does not respond to my words blurred and blurred.
Inevitably, I bring the soup to the young lady's mouth with the spoon in my hand.
“I'm sorry I can only prepare such a thing. I was able to give something a little better if I had a chef. In this case, I should have learned a little more.”
I was able to prepare only the dried meat and herb soup, and only hard bread that can not be eaten unless it is hard.
As it is a meal aimed at preserving travel, it is a few steps that drops a few steps than a young lady's normal meal, rather than a previous expedition training.
If you are a normal young lady, you will be angry and turned over the whole pot.
“…”
However, the young lady does not respond to such a simple dish.
If you put soup and soft bread in your mouth, you will eat it, but it is just mechanically processing what comes into the mouth.
I feel like I'm taking care of bedridden sick people.
It's hard to see the current young lady because he knows the cheerful lady as usual.
“For a while, the royal capital will not be confused and willing to pursue it. I want to keep going a little now.”
“If you are at this pace, you will reach the desired city in about five days. It will be a forced army until then, but please be patient for a while.”
As soon as I take my eyes off, I continue to talk to my young lady as if shaking off an unpleasant imagination that came to my mind.
As usual, the young lady will not reply, but that's fine.
Otherwise, this heart will be crushed by anxiety.
“The outside is cold, so please take a rest on the loading platform, because I am watching outside.”
After finishing the meal, I decided to put a young lady on a carriage bed and rest.
It's winter now, despite having a warm magic tool.
It would be better to rest on a bed with a hood so that the wind can be avoided even a little.
I also want to arrive near the young lady, but I need a look as long as I don't know when to be attacked.
Perhaps all the demons in this area should have gone to the royal capital, but there is a possibility.
The wind deepens at night and the wind blowing is extraordinary, but it's still better than when I was living on the street on a slum.
“…Lady?”
He tried to go outside with a cloak for the cold of the young lady, but he grabbed the sleeves of his clothes from behind and stopped his legs.
Looking back, a young lady who hadn't responded until then looked here with her empty eyes.
“Yeah… ぁ…”
If you can't swing as if you are clinging, the young lady pleads with a faint voice.
For a young lady who has lost her family and has become alone, she must be clinging to her.
“I can't help it. It's cold, but are you outside together?”
“…”
Nevertheless, I'm glad that the young lady, who had been like a dead, responded slightly.
After confirming that the young lady nodded a little in the proposal, I went out of the carrier with her body.
“It's okay, I don't go anywhere. I'm on the side of the young lady all the time.”
“Yeah…”
When I sit down with my young lady in front of a bonfire that has not disappeared yet, I approached me to escape from the cold, and slowly stroked the gold hair while praying for the despair in the back of the chest to soften.
The young lady, who had accepted her hand, was relieved, and began to sleep as she left her head on my shoulder.
“…”
I did a quiet turn until the morning sun rose, trying to avoid a young lady who was sleeping with a gentle expression.
