Chapter 13 – 02. Small Peppers Are Spicy. No Scary!

* * *

Aran read books in his spare time while suffering from Estelle, and also tried to follow the swordsmanship that he came to mind.

Before long, the troops to which Aran belonged arrived at Roissy, where the Persians were encamped.
The Persian castle, built three years before the beginning of the war, was rising high.

As soon as the soldiers saw the castle, they let out a sigh mixed with cheers and moved quickly. Although it is obviously the territory of an enemy country, it was considered half of it as the territory of the home country because the Persian army had already been stationed there for three years.

Upon entering the castle, an additional 150,000 soldiers were stationed there, and it seemed that Cornelia, who had declared herself, had the will to end the war with certainty.

Waves of silver that waved as if they were making fun of the viewer.
The formation of 150,000 people was a thrill itself.

It was decided that Aran’s army would rest for about a week and return to their home country, and each of his soldiers cheered and went into the city and drank to their heart’s content.

“I need to bring my family.”

Estelle confronted her baron.

“Is that a condition? But then…”
“That was then, and now is now. And it’s not that difficult of a request, is it?”

When Estelle first joined, she put on the condition that she bring her family her later. At the time, he could not bring Estelle’s family with him as his forces had to break through the siege and retreat.

Estelle knew that too, so he added the word ‘later’.

But now she wanted Estelle, and if so, the terms of her contract her needed to be made more stringent.
Above all, aren’t there a lot of talented soldiers and knights here? It would be possible as long as they had them rescue their families separately.

The baron pondered for a moment, then nodded his head.
It’s not that difficult. It must have been difficult while the army was retreating, but now we will return to our home country, and we have a week left until then.

“Please attach only three knights who are loyal to the baron.”

It seemed that he was thinking of going directly.

“Okay. Do what you want.”
“Oh, please leave Theodora out of that knight. She’s like the other knights, but she’s not particularly suited to her.”
“Not even my subordinates anyway.”

After Estelle left, the baron lay down on a soft bed. The fatigue accumulated during that time was relieved at once.

* * *

“Family… It’s easy to find a family, right?”

Estelle’s whereabouts of her are kept strictly confidential, but if she’s going somewhere directly with her three knights of her, there’s definitely only one.
Aran laughed at her easily predictable behavior of her.

“Yes. The map family is precious, isn’t it?”

Then, all of a sudden, I had a wonderful idea.

“Ah… Estelle doesn’t know, but there’s no way her husband has mana, so she can… Kill it easily.”

In her opinion of her, she wanted to kill Estelle, but her Aran skills of her were not great enough to kill her yet.

But wouldn’t it be easy for her family her?
His children would also be ordinary people, so he could kill them as much as he wanted.

Of course, they were innocent, but to Aran who suffered from her evil her, it was a fact of no use.

Aran thought about going to Theodora and formally getting permission to go out, but she shook her head.
He will return to his home country in a week, and isn’t he originally an enemy country? It was clear that he would not allow it for the sake of the military or Aran.

“I’m sure he’ll say something like he could be mistaken for a spy.”

If Aran disappears, there will probably be a hundred of such misunderstandings.
But it didn’t matter.
For now, he just wanted to go out and see Estelle’s expression distorted with sadness and anger.

Aran took a bow and arrow and exited the building. It was possible because everyone was busy playing.

Just as he was about to leave the building, get out of the castle, and even get out of the castle completely, a woman stood in front of him.

A warm woman with her soft pink hair down one shoulder.
It was Euphemia.

“Aran.”
“Yu-Yupi-sama… What are you doing here… ?”

She looked at Aran in silence and handed a small box in her arms.

“This…?”
“I left this front blank.”
“…Yuppie-sama?”

She just said that and walked past Aran.

“No way…!”
Could it be that he found out Aran’s intentions his?
Did he know that Aran was following Estelle and trying to do something about it?

But Estelle has three knights attached to her. You wouldn’t dare think of killing her.
Then, did she know that Aran would kill even her family?
Did she even know about it?

Aran’s head became complicated.

He decided to open the box she gave her.
It was quite heavy, and the lid also did not open easily.

When I finally lifted the lid with strength, inside it,

“…Glasses?”

There were square eyeglasses without rims.
The lens was very thin and not heavy, so it seemed like a fairly expensive item.

In addition, Euphemia’s name was engraved in gold on the lid of the box. It was never something to hand over to others.

“Why…?”

I had doubts, but first I had to get out of the castle and find Estelle.

Aran put her glasses back into her box and held them in her arms.
And then she got out of the castle of leisure.

* * *

Estelle is on her way to rescue her family her. Because of her, she rode her horse without stopping, and thanks to that, it took Aran quite a while to find her her.
She asked passers-by and followed the horse’s tracks.

Fortunately, I was able to find it in a few hours.

As it was highly likely that they would notice it if they approached, Estelle checked the trends of Estelle and her knights from about 2,000 paces back.
The girls were taking a break from talking for a while, but the three knights were talking among themselves with Estelle separated. She was going with the baron, but he noticed that she didn’t like it.

“Oh, glasses.”

Aran took out the glasses Euphemia gave him. The heavy box felt luxurious.

“Why did you give me this…”

Aran unconsciously writes.
She wondered if she had a lot of power, but nothing changed.

“…What?”

But that’s for a while.
As Aran turned her head towards her Estelle and continued to stare at her, her figure her enlarged for a moment.

“Uh…?”

Not only her shape her, but also the surrounding features her were enlarged.

In other words, you can see things that are far away as if they were close.

“Artifact…!!”

I thought it was just expensive glasses, but it’s an artifact.

Aran was frightened, but more than that, when she realized what Yuphi Mia had given her, she fell silent for a while.

You know. The Euphemia. What is Aaron going to do?

As far as she knows, Aran can shoot arrows out of a thousand paces, but she does n’t have her killing power her because she has no mana.

Besides, she does n’t have mana, so she can’t enhance her eyesight her, and of course she can’t see or hit.

That is Aran’s ability that Euphemia knows about.

That’s why I gave you these glasses that can clearly see things far away. See and kill
And at that point, she must have noticed that Aran’s target was Estelle’s family her.

“Yuppie…”

As a knight, it is a disqualification.
They said they were going to kill innocent civilians, but instead of stopping them, they actually helped them. In addition, for that reason, the soldiers of the castle wall were ostracized for a certain period of time! It’s definitely something to be proud of in the military.

But because of that, Aran felt more grateful to her.

“I’ll definitely… I’ll definitely succeed and go back. I’ll go back and give it back.”

You can’t get all this expensive stuff.
Perhaps she didn’t give it to me either.
So, Aran promised that she would definitely go back and give it back.

.
.
.

After that time, she finally reached her destination her.

Estelle’s house is in the Troyes region, right under her direct domain her. It was a distance that could be reached in two days if you rode almost non-stop.

Estelle’s family her includes a total of four people including herself. This was a very small number compared to those who usually live together as extended families.

There was one husband, as tall as a mulberry, and on either side of him were sons who looked about five years old.
Ignoring the glances around her, she ran straight ahead and picked up her two sons her.
I couldn’t hear what she said, but her face was full of smiles.

Then, putting her sons down, she embraced her husband as well.

There, Aran had a question.
Does that woman truly love her husband?
On the subject of enjoying Aran and her sex her like that. Is that possible…

‘What do you know?’

He rolled up the question and tossed it in her corner.
What does that mean in the current situation?
They’ll kill people anyway.

Estelle gazed at her house with vague eyes for a moment, but soon she let go of her lingering feelings of her and quickly prepared her luggage.
The time was only a week from the beginning, and she had to go back before then.
And since she didn’t know what the variables were, she had to move as quickly as possible.

So she packed everything she needed and went out of the house, out of town.
Estelle mounted her husband on her horse her, and her two knights her, one each of her sons her, rode in front of her.

Seeing the scene from afar, Aran decided to watch it. You can’t kill it in that state anyway. The knights would easily hit a bow without mana, and Estelle would catch an arrow flying from a distance of 20 meters, and she would fire it backwards. She had no answers on this street.

Anyway, when you take a break in the middle, you will get off your horse and everyone will be there, so if you aim for that gap, you can easily succeed.
[

After running for about half a day, Estelle and the others stopped for a moment. She was to eat.
Aran also stopped, holding a bow in her left hand and pulling out about a dozen arrows with her right hand.

I was thinking of aiming for a time when her family is alone, but the knights are also together, so it’s just in case.
Still, no one can block them all, no matter how far they are, if they fire dozens of rounds in a row.

Through the glasses Euphemia gave him, the figure of the target was clearly revealed. A young man who looked like he was about 30 years old and a little boy about 5 years old who was still cute.
Aran’s conscience stung a little at the sight, but she soon shook it off thinking about the pain of her past days.

Geek.

She put an arrow on the bowstring and drew it.
The bowstring made a creaking sound as it moved its stiff body her for the first time in a long time.

At the same time, the path of the arrow was drawn in her Aran’s eyes.
And the route landed on one of the magnified views through Euphemia’s glasses to her.
Even a slight change in direction would have made a huge difference, and that meant a huge consumption of mental power.

‘One foot. We have to finish one at a time.’

As much as possible, Aran should arrive at her camp her before Estelle. That way you’ll be less suspicious. To do that, you need to finish quickly and return quickly. Maybe he has to run without even having time to rest.
If your horse gets tired, you have to replace it at a nearby stable and run again.

At last the path marking the path of the arrow glowed brilliantly with a green light. And that route was stuck in Estelle’s husband’s head her.

‘I’m sorry, but I’m dying. And cry Estelle!!’

Aran let go of his hand her, and the arrow flew through the sky creating a great wind.

.
.
.

Estelle went to see business for a while.
She met her family for the first time in four years and had many things she wanted to say and do, but she held back all of them.
Because you can go back and do that.
Now it was important to get there as quickly as possible before anything happened.

“Honey! The rice is ready!”

Her husband her waved at her with her drawn face.

“Yes!”

Estelle nodded her head and walked over to him.
The knights who were resting on the other side were also coming this way.

Just as Estelle met her family after four years, her family also met her after four years. Her husband looked at Estelle with such loving eyes, and Estelle did the same.
I wanted to see those eyes for the rest of my life.

And at that moment,
Red arrowheads poked out of her husband’s eyes, which contained her.
