Chapter 533 – 533. The Search for the Missing Platoon (2)
Cain was in trouble.
In fact, he does not belong anywhere, let alone the Knights, but is it really right to entrust the solution of their problems to Erinn, a person from the Duchy of Armitas?
However, Erin’s words that she wanted to take on this search mission were not asking the Knights.
Her resolute attitude, as if she would not accept her objection, reminds her of Eun-hyeon, a friend of her boss, Leo De, and she realizes that she is his disciple. .
“Then I’ll just go.”
“…”
Even as Erin drank all her coffee and got up slowly from her table, Cain couldn’t refuse her Erin’s proposal and put on a complicated expression.
She had no justification or right to force anything on her, and she did so. Erinn’s kindness to take on this task was something she was very grateful for as Cain.
In addition, the fact that she is not alone, but that she has a very reliable companion that she assures, makes her more troubled.
Cain, who was lost in thought while closing her eyes, decided to trust Erin as her disciple of Eun Hyeon and an adventurer in the gold hierarchy.
“… Request.”
“Yes. Please leave it to me.”
Erin replied with a confident smile.
When Ai Terra was attending her school, the news of her disappearance of her close sister and friend Ineira, who had helped her a lot, was a very important issue for her Erin as well.
Even if she didn’t have Cain’s permission, and as long as she understood her situation, Erin was thinking of going alone, even if she didn’t have Agnes’ help.
Erin, who immediately left Artia’s lodging, was about to head towards her temple again, when a person came out of her lodging and shouted at her Erin.
“Wait a minute!”
“… Huh?”
Hesitantly, Erin turned around and stared at the entrance of her inn with a puzzled expression.
She came out in such a hurry that the familiar voice of the man who called her was very urgent.
Erin tilted her head and she confirmed her face as Cha Han-sung, who had called her.
“Cha Han-seong?”
“Whoa… I want you to take me too.”
“… Are you okay?”
At his sudden intention to accompany him, Erin stopped her tilted head and gave a suspicious look.
Erin also knows that Cha Han-seong’s skills are excellent both as a swordsman and as a knight.
Even in the campaign to wipe out the vampires, he showed his strength against the vampires with superhuman physical abilities, and she often watched her training to match Eira.
Erin does not think that he has become a skill that can be judged by anyone, but if he can trust and entrust his back in a dangerous situation, Cha Han-seong is also narrowly included.
As his companion, Cha Han-sung’s help is very reassuring.
However, he knew very well that he was not in a position to blindly accompany him.
“Cha Han-seong is a knight of Artia.”
Cha Han-seong, a knight of the kingdom and currently belonging to Artia, is not in a position to take personal action alone.
Unlike Erin, who does not belong anywhere and can move freely independently, as long as Cain, a superior who belongs to the kingdom and Artia, exists, he must obey orders and it is impossible to refuse them.
“… I got permission and came out.”
Cha Han-sung took a deep breath and explained his situation.
As soon as Erin left the inn, she persistently persuaded Cain to give her permission.
I heard that Erin has an assistant, but unless you know that it is Agnes, one of the six heroes, it is very dangerous to send only two people. It was because Cha Han-sung’s persuasion to accompany him worked.
In fact, one of the reasons was that I accepted his persuasion by making a compromise, fearing that if the number was wrong, I would somehow cause reckless behavior in order to search alone.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Yes?”
“Why are you so desperate to find her sister?”
“That…”
Cha Hanseong was hesitant to answer.
He was perplexed because he did not know how to explain to others the feelings in his heart that he himself could not describe.
Erin read the emotions in his attitude with the power of a divine beast.
Erin knew very well how embarrassed and embarrassed he felt, and how he gradually realized it.
“Do you like Eira unnie?”
“Sa, as a shooter, I’m just worried about my senior who taught me a lot and guided me!”
Cha Han-seong’s voice trembled even more as he hurriedly responded to Erin’s words that poked at the core, expressing his embarrassment.
It is very difficult to lie.
“…”
As he looked at her with his eyes narrowed, Hanseong Cha had to swallow Erin’s saliva while receiving Erin’s gaze.
“It must be difficult…”
“Yes?”
“No. Nothing.”
Erin had no idea how Aira’s father, Riod, would treat Cha Han-seong if he found out about this.
‘No. It’s not a matter of what I say or do, is it?’
Looking at Eira, who was worried about Cha Han-seong during the previous vampire eradication operation, it was natural to guess what the relationship between the two is like now.
What matters is Eira’s heart and what she will do in the future.
‘What am I… Because it’s my sister’s side…’
Erin pressed her thoughts into her heart and opened her mouth again.
“All right. If Cain-sama allowed it, I have no intention of rejecting it either.”
“Thank you.”
When Cha Han-seong gave Erin’s permission, she let out a sigh of relief and thanked her.
There was no way that would have happened, but she seemed to be thinking about what she would do if Erin refused.
“First… I will go back to the temple.”
“Why is there a temple?”
“Because there is a priest I need to take.”
“Priest?”
Suddenly, she belatedly realized that there was another companion who was an assistant to Erin, and looked curious about who it might be.
Cha Hanseong quietly followed Erin to the Mograf branch of the Temple of Vesta and found a young girl in priestly clothes waiting at the entrance of the temple.
“… No way?”
The girl in priestly clothes also found Cha Han-seong and Erin looking surprised.
“Oh, are you done talking?”
“Yes. And this…”
“This little girl… Are you Erin’s companion?”
“… Yes?”
Although she had met her face earlier, Erin, who was about to introduce Cha Han-seong to Anies, asked Cha Han-seong back with a puzzled expression, as the proper introduction had yet to be made.
Cha Hanseong said while looking at the inside of the temple and Erin’s face with a serious face.
“No matter how… No matter how urgently a priest is needed, how can such a child…”
Judging by his tone and attitude, Cha Han-seong, who had just cast off his newcomer in Artia, seemed not to know the face of Anies, an old colleague of Riod.
Since Cha Han-seong desperately requested support from the priests for the search party until he met Erin, he began to think that this young girl was the only priest supported by the temple.
Anies was with Erin the first time he met him, but at that time he was in a hurry to organize a search party and ask for help from the temple, so he didn’t pay much attention to Agies’ existence.
“… What?”
Agies twitched his eyebrows and looked up at Cha Hanseong.
“No. That…”
“I can’t. Go into the temple right now and ask for support from another priest…”
Before Erin could explain anything of hers, Aies was the first to act.
“Hey.”
Anies’ voice was very cold as he grabbed Cha Han-seong’s wrist and stopped him from entering the temple.
“Little boy. Not ignoring you The place we are going to is a very dangerous place. And when you call an adult…”
“I think you are misunderstanding something. I am not a kid I am also much older than you. And…”
I put strength into his hand that was holding Cha Han-sung’s wrist and squeezed it tightly with the momentum to crush his wrist.
“Nice… Ugh!?”
Cha Han-seong looked at the young priest girl with a shocked expression as he felt the fearsome grip that threatened to break his wrist bones.
After checking Cha Han-sung’s expression, Anies smiled as if he liked his reaction and continued.
“I am stronger than you. So, stop talking nonsense and quietly follow me?”
“…”
Erin, who was taken aback by not being able to explain, and Cha Han-seong, who was stunned by Agnes’ confidence and terrifying grip, were speechless and put on a bewildered expression.
“Hey, Cha Hanseong…”
“… Yes?”
“That is… This one. This is Agnes.”
“Anies… Sir?”
I realize belatedly that the name that seems familiar somewhere is the name of the current archbishop of the Temple of Vesta, the strongest priest among the six heroes who saved the continent together with his superior, Riod.
“I’m sorry!”
Realizing that the 15-year-old priest girl in front of him was a hero on the same level as Leo, Cha Han-seong’s expression was once again tinged with astonishment, and he hurriedly bowed his back.
Cha Han-seong’s apology was very polite and swift, perhaps because he felt keenly what kind of rudeness he had committed to whom with just his appearance.
“Joy. I just need to know hey. Start right away Talk as you go.”
“… Yes.”
When the situation was settled in an instant, Erin let out a small sigh and led her out of the gate.
The inspection of the guards guarding the gate went very smoothly.
A team of only three people, even one of whom had the appearance of a young girl, but the other two were knights of Artia and adventurers of the gold ranks.
The guards’ inspection process did not take long because their skills and identities were clear.
“Good luck!”
Rather, he even cheered for the safe return of the three people with gratitude for going to the front for the bloody current frontier.
Anies, who moved out of the outskirts, was able to hear details from Erin and Cha Han-seong.
“In other words, what we have to do now is to search for that Lyod’s daughter and her platoon, right?”
“… That’s right.”
“I like that it is simple. So what are we going to do from now on?”
Agies looked directly at Erin and asked.
Agnes was the strongest among the three, but the role of the team’s leader, such as planning a strategy or setting a course of action, was out of character, so it was a habit to hand it over to Eun-hyeon or Riod, so in this situation, Eun-hyeon’s disciple and adventurer As a leader, he entrusted the role of leader to Erin, who had a lot of experience.
Cha Han-seong also did not have any complaints, and this flow flowed naturally.
“Shouldn’t we move quickly first? Wait a minute. I’ll get something to ride right now.”
“To ride… ?”
Cha Han-seong did not understand what he was taking out of this place where there was nothing, but his doubts were quickly resolved without even needing to ask.
The shape of a car equipped with four tires was summoned from the center of the magic circle that had formed in the air right next to Erinn.
Its appearance, equipped with thick rubber tires from where it was obtained, reproduced the appearance of a jeep often seen on Earth.
“This, this… !”
“Ruler! Get on!”
Shocked, Cha Hanseong didn’t even have time to clear up the confusion, Erin opened the door and put Anies in the back seat of her.
Cha Han-seong had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but first of all, moving was the priority, so he held back and boarded the passenger seat.
“Uh? Hansung Cha. Do you know how to ride this?”
Erin made a puzzled expression when she saw Hansung Cha skillfully open the door and get into the passenger seat, even though it wasn’t like Agnes did.
“Yes. What…”
How could I not know
It’s not similar to what I saw on Earth, so it’s on the same level.
Even the ride is very comfortable.
As she leaned back against the backrest, she tasted a softness she never thought she could feel anymore, and she put on a complicated expression.
Although Cha Han-seong’s expression was suspicious, Erin put that thought aside and sat right in the driver’s seat.
“Then let’s go.”
I squeezed her steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator to start driving, but Letona didn’t budge.
“What? Why isn’t this moving?”
According to what she learned from Eun-hyeon, her bike moves when she presses on the accelerator and injects magic attribute similar to hers.
It’s as if something is holding the wheels in place so they don’t move.
Erin didn’t notice what she had missed, so she kept taking her foot off the accelerator and then stepping on it again and again. Pointing with her finger, she said.
“Ugh… Side brake…”
“Ah! Right! This!”
Realizing it belatedly, she released her side brake and stepped on her accelerator as hard as she could, and Retona started driving with a roaring engine sound.
But the direction is backwards, not forwards.
Thud!
Accelerating rapidly with a rattle, Retona collided with all her might into a tree behind her, and the impact shattered her body.
“What, what!”
The first to receive the shock was Anies, who was sitting in the back seat of her.
Grabbing the back of her neck, which was gradually pulling, with one hand, Agnes glared at Erin, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, with a distrustful gaze.
“… You, do you know how to control this properly?”
“Ah, haha… Sa, actually, I only saw Hyun driving. It’s my first time too…”
Erin, who couldn’t hide her embarrassed expression and turned her gaze away from Anies’ eyes in the rearview mirror, frankly revealed her driving career.
“… I will drive.”
“Yes?”
Erin put on a puzzled expression when she suddenly said that she would hold her steering wheel herself.
“Still, I’m more than Cha Han-sung…”
“No. I will do better. Certainly better than Erin-sama.”
“How do you know that!”
For some reason, his pride was hurt and he was angry, but Cha Han-seong never discouraged his intention to take the wheel.
Cha Han-seong did not want to entrust his life to the unlicensed Erin.
Erinn’s driving without a license felt more frightening than encountering dangerous magic beasts in this outskirts.
“Looks like it’s moving using mana, but if you tell me this, I’ll drive myself.”
