Chapter 936 – Ep.934 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Kwaang-!!
With a loud noise, Agatha, who had ordered me to retrieve the item, came inside, dragging the Mimic case I had brought along with me.
“Sleep!”
“What a waste. “If I threw it, I was thinking of putting it in the bag for another day.”
“Well, just try it!”
Agatha came in, kicking the door in a huff, quickly putting the Mimic case in my arms and quickly walking away from me.
“Tsk, tsk, how could someone who was the Pope be so mean?”
“Baby, those who call themselves priests are all dark-hearted bitches.”
“… I agree.”
The former emperor and his bloodline. And the former princess got along well and openly mocked Agatha.
So what is Agatha’s response?
“…”
Although no one else knew, Agatha just pouted her lips, as if she didn’t have the courage to be honest with Mariel.
While the three of them were furiously disparaging the priest, I opened the spout of the mimic case and took out the contents one by one.
“… “You took these things with you while running away?”
The items lined up on the floor were truly diverse.
Starting with silver candlesticks, gold drinking glasses, portraits of men with predictable uses, etc.
I had a conscience and didn’t want a holy object that had some kind of sacred energy, but these were combinations that I couldn’t help but think were a bit too much.
“What… “There is something that feels divine.”
There are a total of ten miscellaneous items that Agatha collected.
Among them, the only sacred things were the golden goblet and the silver candlestick.
“Why on earth are you carrying something like this?”
A portrait of a grumpy-looking man, placed in a huge frame to prevent the contents from being damaged.
“Why would you carry a portrait of a man? “I guess I took it to use it as a cunt while chewing.”
“… “Are you really Dorai people?”
“Hey? “Can you please stop tying me in for being a priest as well?”
“The way I see it, if you do more, you do more, not less.”
I pretended not to be the subject of secretly molesting Nemea, a member of the same sex, for fun.
“Master? Please burn this for me──”
Grumbling!!
“Huh?!”
How many people would not be surprised when the picture frame they were holding suddenly bursts into flames?
“… “Master?”
“Because I asked for a ride.”
I’m sure he pouted because I picked that one up when he came back.
‘But how do I use this…? …’
There is a way to send items to the material storage box for the contribution shop gacha, and my energy… Instead, there is a way to directly absorb imperfect divinity to increase it.
‘Whether it is recruitment or growth, that is the question…’
In fact, anyone who knows how to think would have chosen the latter without hesitation, but as someone who had already tasted the prize of archives at the contribution store, it was not an easy choice for me.
‘Drink the glass, donate the candlestick…’ … ? ‘No, against it?’
A drinking cup filled with divinity that I could clearly feel, and a silver candlestick whose divinity could only be sensed if I really concentrated.
‘No, if you diversify your investments here, both of you will fail.’
It feels like an item with this level of divinity will quickly run out of contributions after clicking the update button a few times.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t entered the chat window for quite some time.’
Since I left the Demon Continent and haven’t entered it even once, it’s already been almost two months.
“… Good. “It’s on hold.”
Whether you absorb the power or convert it into a contribution, the item will not disappear if you don’t do it right away, so I think it would be best to put it in the Mimic case first and then consult with the Sith when you meet them before making a decision.
“Then this side is in a bit of a state…”
After putting away only the drinking glasses and silver candlesticks, I asked Nila, who surprisingly got along well with the emperor princess duo and was comfortably participating in the conversation.
“Nila, if you want, I can even help you cross the border.”
“Yes? Ah, yes… Well, thank you… ?”
“There is no need to be particularly grateful. “There was a harvest of its own.”
The priests who had been bothering her since last night have already run away, and her princess, Nilla, doesn’t have much of a problem if she moves her body right now, so she has no reason to be here anymore.
“Master. “I’m leaving right now, so please gather the kids.”
“Of course.”
Mariel got up from her seat, opened her window, and she jumped straight down.
“As you heard, we are leaving now. Nila, if you wish, I allow you to accompany me to our destination, Molingta. However, we will treat you like an ordinary soldier, not a princess.”
“Of course!”
“No…”
“I will never cause you any trouble!!”
Without any time to stop her, she got off her bed and got down on one knee toward me.
“As for the princess’s status, she abandoned it a long time ago when she left the castle. If you take me back, my Tua…” … No, this Nilla. I pledge to serve her faithfully until her last breath.”
I can’t compare because I’ve never seen a proper knight, but at least the sight of Nilla kneeling before her eyes matched the knight I had imagined.
“Hey. You’re not trying to be fooled by those words right now, are you? It looks very solemn, but think about it carefully. The princess of a kingdom that is destined to fail anyway, and your knight, a golden band that shines no matter who sees it. “If you’re not stupid, you’ll definitely choose the latter, right?”
“… !!”
Oh my god.
As if what she said was true, Nilla’s shoulders were caught slightly shaking as she lowered her head.
“Ubububbung!!”
“I will accept you as part of my group.”
I continued, pushing Agatha aside, whose breath gave me goosebumps.
“However, I will not accept being knighted. Oh, don’t get me wrong. “It’s not that I refused after listening to this side, Nila, it’s because your skills are lacking.”
The truth without a single lie.
Considering that the minimum standard for becoming my driver was Irina, who is next to Melbourne, it was only natural.
“Well, I’m not in perfect condition right now──”
“Stop.”
Marvius, who rarely intervened, raised his hand and interrupted Nila’s words.
“What Smith said is true. Even if you are confident in your abilities, aren’t you stronger than Lord Irina?”
“Irina, Irina… “Are you talking about the black-maned knight commander?”
“Okay. “If you want to become a knight of Smith, you must reach the level of a wolf.”
“Well, that…” …”
Should I be so shocked that Irina is my knight?
Or that Irina is the standard?
I wasn’t sure, but she seemed to be convinced anyway, so she decided to just leave it alone.
“Oh, by the way, Melbourne, who was the commander of the Knights of the Guard, is now serving as deputy commander.”
“… ?”
Nila, who had been dazed in shock, blinked her eyes and raised her head.
“… Chamberlain?”
“No, the chamberlain is separate. “Not the chamberlain, but the deputy chamberlain.”
It was right then.
“Ha, haha~! “She almost got fooled by this.”
“… ?”
Nila laughed and Marvius blinked at her and tilted his head.
“If I had stopped at Sir Irina, I would have been fooled. Haha, but anyway, Lord Melbourne is a servant. Even a snotty child will laugh at you and call you a liar.”
“The king puts a bounty on the princess’s head?”
“Call, Cough! Well, that’s…”
As soon as Agatha, who was standing behind me, uttered a word, Nila started coughing and panicked again.
“… Really?”
“Really.”
Agatha was just nodding her head.
Smart.
Two short knocks.
-Father, may I come in?
Melbourne, the main character of the story, has now arrived.
“Come in.”
“Excuse me──”
“Huh?!”
As soon as the door opened and Melbourne appeared, Nila, who was still on one knee on the floor, jumped up in horror.
“Well, well, what a nonsense…” … !!”
Then, she immediately covered her eyes with one hand and pointed out the improved maid uniform that Melbourne was wearing with the other hand.
‘Is it strange that she replaced the skirt with pants and covered her breasts well?’
To me, it just looks like an appropriate mix of a maid and a butler, but to her, it doesn’t look that way at all.
The problem was that I was the one who came up with the outfit, and it was Rita who repaired it herself.
[ Master. ]
“Omg?!”
And to my great regret, Rita had just jumped through the window.
“Maine?!”
“Now that I think about it, you haven’t explained the situation at all.”
It was just as Marvius said.
‘But it’s not a big problem, right?’
Just because Mine was involved didn’t mean she wouldn’t join the group, and even if she stayed here, it was a good thing because I got everything I could from my perspective.
“Huhmm~ Didn’t you say you were leaving in the evening?”
“Lily, Roro? “Stop getting up.”
“Oh, I will hold you.”
“Heek?!”
“”… ?””
And then, facing Genoa and his party from the Demon Continent, Nila jumped up and down and passed out with bubbles in her mouth.
“W-what is it? “What did we do wrong?”
“Don’t mind.”
I calmed Genoa down by gently caressing his cheek as he approached me in panic.
‘I’m not sure, but it looks like he suffered a lot from demons when he was chased.’
“I’m sorry, but please take care of Irina.”
“Huh? Oh, I will.”
Irina picked up the unconscious Nila and placed her on her side.
At the same time, Rita appeared to take the Mimic case that was lying on the floor even though she was not told to do so.
“Even though the time was slightly delayed, everyone must have had a good day’s rest.”
For the first time in a while, I soaked in warm bath water and slept comfortably in a soft bed without waking up during the night.
“I’m sorry, but if we leave now, we’ll just keep running with minimal rest until we reach our destination.”
I glanced at May and Rita.
“The destination is the Phylax Plain of the Kingdom of Vittorio, to be exact, the city adjacent to it, Bazelan.”
This is the city where Kernax led his soldiers to provide support under Ardel’s orders, and the first city I visited after leaving Molingta. And the city where I first met Nyaho.
[I will take an hour break every half day. ]
“If you drive like that for about three days, you will be able to arrive.”
“… “It’s quite a forced march.”
I nodded at Melbourne’s words.
“Still, no one will leave.”
I smiled at Giselle, who was yawning on Toriel’s back.
