Chapter 92 – Ep.92 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
-Crrrrm.
Beneo, who was sitting in the driver’s seat and holding on to the chain reins, slowly pulled the reins as he saw the soldier running towards him from ahead.
Drake stopped walking as if he was annoyed, and soon a soldier spoke to Beneo from a short distance away from Drake.
“Lord Beneo. “You found a good place to camp, so you said it would be a good idea to camp a little early today and leave early tomorrow.”
Beneo did not answer.
Instead, he nodded his head once.
The soldier saluted politely and then ran forward to deliver Beneo’s reply to Kernax.
Only after the soldier had completely moved away did Beneo turn his head slightly and push his window inward.
Inside is the object of protection and the red adventurer clinging to it. The bowman, who had been sitting far away for a few days, was sitting there.
As Beneo pushed the glass, the attention of those riding inside focused.
Beneo spoke briefly.
“We camp near here. If we leave at dawn tomorrow, we will arrive in Bazelan around noon.”
Beneo said nothing and pulled the glass.
He followed the soldiers as they began to move again, flicking down the chain reins.
Near a clear lake, soldiers spread out their tents and pulled up weeds that had grown nearby and gathered them in one place.
Only after the ground was somewhat evenly prepared did the soldiers light a fire or take out lanterns and hang them around the area.
Sweet.
Beneo slowly turned his head at the sound of the carriage door opening.
The subject of protection got off with the accompanying adventurer.
It looks like he plans to have dinner with Kernax as usual.
“Lord Beneo.”
Beneo turned his head at the sound calling to him.
There, as always, stood a soldier bringing his own meal.
It was a soup with moderately dry bread and beef jerky.
Beneo got off the coach to help the soldier who couldn’t get near because of Drake.
“Thank you.”
“Hehe, no.”
The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment and returned to his tent.
Beneo thought as he looked at the back of the running soldier.
‘Did you say her name was Lina?’
As she was not used to memorizing people’s faces and names, it was very unusual for her to recall someone’s name.
It was the day after he joined Kernax’s soldiers.
He came every hour and provided meals that were not specifically requested or needed.
Since it was against chivalry to blindly ignore the kindness of others, Beneo had just accepted it from then on.
Beneo walked slowly with a bowl full of soup, looking for a quiet place out of sight of people.
After arriving at a deep place where even the light of torches and lanterns and the moonlight reached only slightly, Beneo roughly sat down under a nearby tree.
He raised his stuffy visor.
Her blonde hair shone in the faint moonlight.
Beneo, who was trying to eat soup with a spoon from a bowl, closed his visor.
Beneo looked up at the diagonal tree.
A pair of orange lights were sparkling.
“Do you have something to say?”
Beneo asked the owner of the orange light.
Orange looked at Beneo for a long time without saying anything.
There was silence for a moment.
“The guys following me changed direction.”
“We will arrive at our destination tomorrow. “There is no need for protection anymore.”
“Is that all?”
“… “It is not a problem for the person being protected.”
“Right.”
The orange light blinked and quickly came down.
The orange light that was slowly approaching stopped in the faint light of the moon.
She took her human form and looked down at Beneo with her emotionless eyes.
“Don’t cause trouble.”
“I will try.”
After briefly looking at Beneo, who nodded feebly, she went out and ran lightly, and in an instant she climbed up the tree.
Now that I was out of her moonlight, I watched her Beneo a little more with my unique orange eyes, and then she completely disappeared into the darkness.
Beneo looked at the slightly cooled soup and then raised her visor again.
“Is this an expression of anger?”
From the day she joined Cernax’s soldiers, she seemed to be quite troubled by the red adventurer and Cernax, and it occurred to her that she seemed to be turning him loose on her.
“Adventurers are scary these days.”
It was only when he was right in front of her that she could sense the presence of her opponent.
If her opponent were a knight like herself, she might be able to cope somehow. However, the opponent was an archer.
“Hmm. “I’m not sure.”
No matter how much she thought about it, she had doubts about the bowman who was looking down on her being harassed by the red adventurer and Cernax.
Why is it that a person who casually threatens someone who is stronger than both of them for a long time suffers from two people who are weaker?
Beneo didn’t find the answer until he finished eating the cold soup.
**
“Hwaaaaam~”
“You idiot. “If you’re sleepy, sleep more.”
“I guess so…”
As much as I went to bed early yesterday, I was still sleepy probably because I left early.
Inside the carriage, which was traveling on a bluish road where the sun had not yet fully risen, I let out a long yawn and laid my head on Siron’s thigh.
Siron, who had been secretly avoiding me, stayed with me in the carriage for a few days, and as I kept clinging to him, he eventually allowed me to embrace him like before.
I was curious as to why he was avoiding me, but I didn’t bother to ask.
Because I had a strong feeling that if I asked that, it would become awkward again.
I rubbed my cheek against Chiron’s thigh, which was much softer and softer than the seat of a luxury carriage, smelled like flowers, and was overwhelming in every way.
“You idiot. “Stay still.”
“Ok.”
Siron stroked my head.
I said, just getting stroked pleasantly.
“But I’m so lucky.”
“What nonsense again?”
“No, that’s right. “I didn’t know about the thief, but I thought a blind monster or demon would attack at least once, but nothing happened.”
“…”
“Why why?”
I suddenly flinched as Shiron looked down at me with pitiful eyes.
Did I say something stupid again?
Siron looked at me for a while and sighed briefly.
“You idiot. “Don’t tell me you went somewhere and worked as a receptionist.”
Siron shook his head.
Mr. Giena, who was sitting opposite, said.
“Mr. Smith. Whether they are stupid or smart, monsters only move when there is profit. No matter how much you look at it, there is no crazy monster that would attack a group of women like this. Additionally, the Drake pulling the carriage is so powerful that he can destroy the head of a decent demonic beast with a single blow of his tail.”
“Oh…”
“What are you coming? “When I get back, you really need to study.”
I just quietly closed my mouth and nodded.
Requests for subjugation of goblins and the like often come in here too, so I thought the monsters were just guys who attack humans when they’re bored, but it turns out that the monsters here are much more demanding than I thought. They seem to be smarter than I thought.
“Anyway, stop talking nonsense and just hit it. “I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”
“Ok. Okay.”
As Siron said, I let out another long yawn and closed my eyes comfortably.
As Siron gently touched her head, she fell asleep easily.
“You idiot. Wake up.”
“Use…” … ?”
I opened my eyes to the sound of Siron’s voice along with the feeling of my cheek being pricked.
Siron, who was looking down at me, blinked his red eyes and said.
“We’ve arrived, so wake up.”
“… Already?”
“What is it already? “Lunch is almost ready.”
“Oh.”
What. I think I closed my eyes for a moment, but it’s already lunch.
It’s also Siron’s thigh.
You just sent me away.
They look like very desirable thighs. I’ll massage it a lot later.
I lightly rubbed my cheek against Siron’s soft thigh one last time and then stood up.
When I looked out the window, I saw that I was standing on a road lined with luxurious buildings that were at least one head taller than the ones I saw in Mallingta.
“And…”
Is this a city called Bazelan?
I was just amazed.
The buildings all looked so tall and luxurious that the eastern street, the most developed area in Mallingta, felt like a country street.
Come to think of it, the clothes of the people standing around looked somewhat classy, and I could often see men who were difficult to see in Mallingta.
“You idiot. “You look like a hillbilly, so shut your mouth.”
“Ok.”
I closed my mouth as Siron said.
To be honest, I didn’t even know my mouth was open.
Anyway, seeing a new city for the first time in 4 years was very refreshing and shocking.
“But where are we still going? “Is there security inside here?”
“… Ugh.”
Siron looked at me with eyes that said, ‘That’s right.’ And sighed.
“You idiot. That’s because Molingta is a very rural town and Count Filoria is a unique person. Originally, each city had officials or vassals dispatched by the lord, and there was a castle in the city where they lived. Do you understand?”
“Why is there a castle in the city?”
“I don’t know, you idiot. “I just think that’s the case.”
“Okay.”
I thought I would be in for a treat if I asked just one more time, so I just nodded.
Anyway, to sum it up, we were now heading to a place called Naejung in this city.
“And. “It’s a real castle.”
I could see a high wall and an even taller building appearing through the glass window connected to the coach seat.
“Wow… What. “Are you here to at least welcome me?”
As soon as I entered the castle, I saw a huge number of soldiers.
People who appeared to be soldiers or knights continued to appear as if they were surrounded on the left and right.
“Shiron. “The atmosphere seems a bit strange.”
It was not uncommon to see the soldiers surrounding us smiling mischievously.
It was an obvious ridicule for anyone to see.
However, the reason why I said the atmosphere was strange was because next to the soldiers and knights who were laughing, there were people who were glaring at them disapprovingly.
“I know. “There seem to be a lot of crazy bitches.”
“Yes?”
Siron nodded.
And then the carriage stopped.
The coach window was opened.
“Don’t get out until I open the door.”
Sir Beneo said so, closed the window, and got out of the coach seat.
Shiron grabbed my shoulder and forced me to sit on the seat.
“Don’t show your face out the window.”
I was about to answer, but when I saw Siron’s stern face, I just nodded quietly.
It looks like something went a little wrong.
The problem is that I don’t know what went wrong.
No, how could this go wrong in the first place?
These were the soldiers of the Count, the great lord, and the bitches smiling miserably over there were the soldiers of the rich Viscount.
In addition, although we were a little small in number, we were allies who had traveled a long distance to help.
I gave up thinking and quietly sank into the seat.
How long has it been since I sank into my seat?
Siron, who was next to me, and Giena, who was sitting in front of me, got up from their seats and stepped forward as if to hide me.
Sweet. The carriage door opened.
Haha, Sir Beneo. It looks like the count family is having a bit of a hard time. “If only we could treat such adventurers like this.”
A fairly low voice for a woman came from outside the wide open door.
“Sister. Be selective about what you say. “Didn’t Lord Kernax explain that they were silver-level adventurers?”
“Noisy. “Are you really saying that the silver level is so great?”
Ah.
I understood.
I remembered my conversation with Milia before leaving the city.
Viscount Biorin has a very poor eldest daughter, and there is a high possibility that the reason the Viscount asked for help this time is all because of the poop that that bastard eldest daughter made.
What is puzzling is that Bazelan is said to be managed by the Viscount’s second daughter, so why are both of them here?
“Well, I don’t know how important of a guest you are, but since I told you to prepare the dinner, I wonder if you should stop showing your face?”
Maybe that’s what he’s saying to me.
I wondered how to answer.
“Are you a bit shy? Or do you have trouble moving? “If that’s the case, I’ll pick you up and carry you inside.”
Creak. The carriage shook slightly with the sound.
The woman, probably the eldest daughter, appears to have put her feet up on her carriage.
At that time, Siron took a step forward.
“Go away.”
“Huh?”
Unless I heard correctly, I think I heard Kernax sigh outside.
“Did I not hear you correctly?”
“No, bitch. “I think I heard it right.”
“… Under.”
The woman, presumed to be the eldest daughter, sighed as if it were insignificant.
As a bonus, I swallowed my breath.
“Lord Beneo. Because I have a bad memory. “Did you say it was the count who hired these two here?”
“The two are hired by the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Right. Is it okay if I understand that to mean that even if I kill these two here, there will be no conflict with the Count family?”
“Sister!!”
“Shut up!!”
The carriage shook violently.
The woman, presumed to be the eldest daughter, who had stepped onto the carriage, appears to have had her foot bitten.
“Lord Beneo. “Please answer.”
“It doesn’t matter. However, if you damage the carriage, it will be a separate story.”
“If your carriage breaks down, I will gift you a new one of mine.”
“Don’t make me say it twice. “Do not harm the carriage.”
“… Sir Beneo. I also don’t like saying things twice. I’ll say it again. “I will give you something that is twice as good as that, so please know that.”
I couldn’t help but drool.
The atmosphere was so scary that I thought the best way to deal with this situation would be to just get out of here.
“Guests inside. The carriage will shake a lot, but I don’t want to hurt anyone, so it would be best to just sit quietly. “If you move for no reason and get hurt, that’s your fault.”
I’m not sure, but it looks like that fucking bitch is up to something.
“Tear off the carriage!!”
-Yes!!
When the motherfucker gave an order, the soldiers surrounding her responded loudly, and the sound of iron boots began to sound like crazy.
“Stop!!”
Kernax’s cry rang out loudly.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.
“… “What are you doing?”
The bitch who had eaten a lot of food spoke informally to Kernax.
“That carriage is the symbol of Count Filoria. “If you want to touch the carriage independently of the adventurer inside, you can’t just leave it there.”
Ride, ride!!
As soon as Kernax finished speaking, Molingta’s soldiers who had been with him surrounded the carriage.
“Under. Sir Beneo. “How would you like me to accept this situation?”
Sir Beneo did not answer the bitch’s question.
It was very savory.
“Sister, in moderation…”
Wow!!
I was startled just by the sound.
“You mean thing. “Fool around in moderation.”
“…”
The surroundings became quiet in a different way.
“Lord Beneo. If the Count thought so little of our viscount, he would have sent not a knight corps, but soldiers who had been guarding a village or town, and that was only 300, as support. But it’s okay. In the eyes of the Count who hunts monsters at the border, our viscountess, who makes money through business, will seem insignificant. I understand. However.”
Wow!!
The carriage shook very slightly.
It was just a needless noise.
It looks like a cheap bitch kicked the carriage.
“I can’t stand being ignored by a damn adventurer. Today I must cut off the heads of those two years old and hang them at the city gate, so don’t even think about stopping me. “If you try to stop me, then I will not accept you as support but as an enemy.”
As soon as the motherfucker finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet again.
No one responded to the fucking bitch.
“Why are you hesitating!! Tear down the carriage immediately!! As for the bitches who get in the way…”
“La, Rania!!”
A cry so urgent stopped the bitch from speaking.
“What!!”
“G, ji, ji…”
“Say it straight!!”
“That is… Well, reinforcements have arrived… “You did it.”
“What?”
The bitch who looked like the squad leader reacted as if she was slightly embarrassed.
“Support. What kind of thing is this…”
Suddenly, the group leader stopped talking.
For a moment, the surroundings became deathly quiet.
Many, many, many.
Many, many, many.
Many, many, many.
The sound of horses’ hooves was heard.
There wasn’t one.
It wasn’t one, but it sounded like one.
The sound of the horses’ hooves getting closer stopped.
As I held my breath, a very clear and familiar woman’s voice came into my ears.
“For a mock war, the atmosphere is quite scary.”
