The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

31 – Do you know why I am strong? It’s because they just broke out!(1)

Technically speaking, Ruby and I didn’t get along that well.

Unlike Clara, who is recovering her bright personality little by little, unlike her first impression. Ruby seldom opened up to others. Feeling like a hedgehog with its thorns erect?

But why choose Ruby in this situation? But, unfortunately, I had no other choice than Ruby. First of all, I needed someone to manage and defend Lionheart Fortress.

Because it was Cluna that accounted for more than 80% of that share. Excluding Cluna for now, although she will be called the Empress of the Sword in the future. Helia, who is still a child, has no choice but to be excluded.

Then, Ruby and Clara are left, but I had no intention of interfering with the mother-daughter reunion. The elimination method had no choice but to choose the remaining ruby. It was a bit awkward though.

It was surprising, if not surprising, that Ruby, who had chosen that way, was close friends with a member of the Royal Knights who escaped. Thanks to that, I was able to hear many stories from Ruby.

Ruby and I were riding horses and walking through the mountains. The saddle shook greatly with a rattling noise. Thanks to that, I started to feel a tingling sensation in my butt.

“Captain? Are you listening to me?”

“Yes, of course. The name of the member who escaped was Bayard.”

“That’s right. He was the vanguard of the Royal Knights.”

Bayard. A beastman from the bear tribe, ranked 7th among the 12 beastmen. It is said that he is in charge of the role of the vanguard, trusting in his ignorant strength and durability and rushing to tear all the enemies apart.

“But even she got scared and ran away?”

“That’s how much we saw was hell. Especially unlike us who were in the rear, Bayard witnessed countless deaths in the vanguard.”

“Certainly, it could have been much more shocking.”

According to the setting, the bear tribe, which ranks 7th among the 12 beasts, is the lowest-ranking tribe. It is a place where 5 tribes out of the existing 12 beasts betrayed and were finally recognized as tribes.

Of course, the political position will be weak as well. There must have been disrespect among the beastmen. Because I overpowered all of them with only my skills and was recognized as a Royal Knight.

Besides, Bayard is the vanguard who fights on the front lines. That said, even though he fought in that hell, and even at the forefront, in the end, he was a top-notch talent who survived to the end.

“But you know where the Bayard is?”

“I got a call from the kingdom. They said they found out where Bayard is.”

“It is surprisingly capable.”

“It’s natural since we’ve been searching since the time the Royal Knights were defeated.”

The king’s power of action was beyond imagination. While appointing the leader of the Royal Knights as a human. To recover the Royal Knights, mobilize the intelligence department to find out the location of the members.

Besides, he was even thinking of recruiting talented people from the human kingdom and applying to the Royal Knights. Truly the best sponsor ever. Anyway, the result of obtaining information.

Bayard was unexpectedly positioned nearby. They said it could be reached in a week on horseback from Lionheart Fortress. Hearing the news, I set off right there.

Even though it’s been several months already, being nearby means that you still have attachments to the Royal Knights. So, before that lingering feeling disappears, I somehow persuade him and bring him back.

And now, after a week, I was able to find out a lot of information about Bayard through conversations with Ruby. Ruby seems to have depended on her a lot more than he thought.

“Were you close with Bayard at the Royal Knights?”

“It means that he was the one with whom he could communicate the most. And when he was with Bayard, he stopped thinking of him.”

“The child?”

“It’s nothing.”

Ruby hurriedly denied her words. Apparently, Ruby also has a dark past. For now, remember for sure. It would be better to ask slowly later.

Anyway, now I have to focus on Bayard. The mental state of a defeated soldier is usually unstable. In particular, she is a top-notch talent who was active as the vanguard of the Royal Knights.

If she goes on a rampage on her own, the damage will be so terrible that you can’t even imagine. Eventually, Ruby and I finally arrived at the place the kingdom had told us about.

The first thing that caught my eye was the fence made of carved trees. And inside it was the skin of an animal that was being dried. There was a huge cathedral-like building made of stacked logs.

“……here is?”

“It’s a temple dedicated to the king of nature worshiped by the bear tribe.”

“Come to think of it, you said you believed in that kind of religion.”

Even when the Royal Knights were alive and well. Bayard always came to this place once a week to pray and then went back. Meanwhile, Ruby got off her horse and immediately knocked on the cathedral door.

“Bayard! I know you’re there! I want you to open this door quickly!!”

[…] … .]

“You’re ignoring me?! Then you’re breaking down this door!”

[Now, wait! Please don’t destroy the cathedral… … !]

“…?”

Ruby can’t win the fight and pulls out the hammer. Bayard, who sensed the murder, shouted from inside. It was only surprising that the sound was slightly louder than that of mosquitoes.

No, not prejudice. He said he was from the bear tribe and was the leader of the Royal Knights? Isn’t that supposed to be a warlike personality then? But judging by the voice, let alone belligerent.

Rather, it was a voice that lacked confidence at all. To express it as it is, should I say a voice like Chinta? I shook my head. It is not good to have arbitrary prejudices.

“Nice to meet you. Did you say Bayard? I’ve heard a lot about it.”

[That, is it? That probably didn’t sound very good… … .]

“I heard that he was a great vanguard of the Royal Knights.”

[No, that’s nonsense. what’s like me… … .]

Her voice was quivering in denial. It’s not wrong, just hearing her voice made her look like a country girl. But judging by appearance is foolish.

Ruby, whose basic skills were far superior to mine, called Bayard a great vanguard. Then, as the leader, I have no choice but to trust the members. I said to Bayard.

“Bayard, we need your help.”

[yes yes? Any help from me?]

“Yes. If it’s okay, could you please listen to me?”

The strategy for Chinta characters like Bayard is simple. You have to go out politely enough to be very burdensome.

what? Where has the dignity of the leader gone? f*ck you!

Anyway, it’s a general manager position that I will quit immediately after one year.

Now, it is said that the real thing is much more important than such a fake position.

Maybe 5 minutes passed.

The door, which had been firmly closed, finally began to open.

* * *

I have terrible nightmares every day.

Even though I know it’s always a dream. She was always impatient and running forward. I will definitely keep it this time. So many times, many times. while promising

But each time, what unfolded before her eyes was a feast of blood and flesh. It belonged to her colleagues who laughed and chatted with her. Eventually, she wakes up unable to keep it.

When I woke up, I couldn’t stop trembling because of the guilt that flooded my body. If the leader hadn’t given the scroll, she probably would have died in that hell too.

In the end, with the sacrifice of the captain and his colleagues, he barely survived. Still, I thought I might be of some help here. Actually, that wasn’t it.

“I’m still useless.”

It always has been. He always looked at the backs of everyone who was walking ahead from a place one step away. I hated that. So, he took on the role of the vanguard in the Royal Knights.

I didn’t want to fall behind any longer. I wanted to protect my teammates with my own hands. However, after all, I was a useless guy until the end. On such a subject, what kind of lingering feelings do you have left here?

Maybe you don’t even know the subject. It may be that he wants someone to come find him. Even in a country like this, if someone needs it. then… However, that expectation was gradually shattered.

“Nice to meet you. Did you say Bayard? I’ve heard a lot about it.”

However, right before that will is completely broken. Like a miracle, someone came to her. Checking through the crack in the door, he was wearing a helmet. He was probably the newly appointed leader.

“Bayard, we need your help.”

[yes yes? Any help from me?]

“Yes. If it’s okay, could you please listen to me?”

It was the first time. Even the former captain didn’t say that. The first time I said I needed my help. Maybe this time can help? If it helps… … .

Can I escape this nightmare?

With that expectation, she finally opened the door.
