38 – Comprachicos (1)

The leader left to solve the request by himself.

The members found out about this right after Hans left Lionheart Fortress at dawn. As soon as Hans left, Helya sensed it.

Of course, all the other members knew about it. Thanks to that, Cluna was able to use poison pills by herself. That was the reason for the untimely hearing from early in the morning.

The attendee was, of course, Cluna. Clara tried to defend Cluna. Cluna refused. because there was a reason Cluna laughed and said.

“Did I tell you? You can’t follow me.”

“Is there any reason to follow your words, even if you’re not the captain?”

Although the mouth is smiling Those red eyes were burning with rage. Helya’s ferocity was enough to startle even Cluna. But I could understand.

Over the past two months, I came to know about it naturally while working here. How precious Hans was to Helya. family… … no, maybe more.

It is a form close to obsession beyond love. The love of a child who has lost his place due to the war has changed. Right now, I’m somehow suppressing that feeling… … .

When the day comes when that heart explodes like an active volcano. Who can handle that oppressed heart? Cluna immediately shook her head. It was not a time to enjoy leisurely.

“This is also an order from the captain.”

“The captain’s order…?”

“Yes, the captain said clearly that he will come after solving the problem by himself.”

“This is nonsense! The Royal Knights have a basic iron rule of at least two people in one group!”

“Miss Ruby, why did the captain make that choice? You already know, don’t you?”

“…”

In fact, everyone here already knew. Why did the leader choose to go alone? Even if there are political problems. Are you really going to kill the demons alone?

There was no way that would be possible. Even if two people were to handle the request. Even if it was the Dwarf principality, there was no way it would be safe to force it any further. Because that’s the kind of thing.

However, the captain chose to go alone. Could the reason be because of what was written in the request? Or is the problem with us? The answer is already clear.

“Clara and Ruby, you know without me having to tell you, right?”

“That, that’s… but…”

“…”

Each of them had seen Captain Hans’ skills once. Clara in the forest and Ruby in a confrontation with Bayard. Of course, they weren’t at a level where they could intervene.

Of course, Helia couldn’t speak either. Because you already have the awareness that you are the most inferior here. Even if he was directly taught by his teacher, he could not win even once.

Of course, compared to Helya’s age, it was a great achievement, but it was too much. Actually, I was not satisfied at all. In any case, the teacher is of no help.

“Uh, over there… I’m…?”

“Oh, of course Mr. Bayard is strong enough. He’s on the same level as me in close combat.”

“Go, thank you.”

Bayard’s voice further diminished at the unconventional evaluation beyond imagination. But it wasn’t word of mouth. If it was limited to close combat, she was the same level as herself.

“But you’re still in an unstable state. All of your past wounds haven’t healed, have you?”

“…Boo, embarrassingly…”

“I don’t know if it’s perfect. Now you can rather be an obstacle to the leader.”

“…”

“Now, does anyone have anything more to say here?”

It was Cluna who spoke softly while clapping softly. No one dared to respond to that. It was because they realized what their position was like just by saying that.

Even if you go, it won’t help.

she was saying that Of course, in an indirect way. The first to move was Helya. Her red hair curled wildly.

“I see what you mean.”

“I’m glad you found out.”

“Instead, I have a request.”

“Please?”

“I want to sparr with you.”

Helia was clearly smiling. It’s not just about laughing or something like that. A dazzlingly beautiful smile. Besides, her tone was also obviously polite.

But to Cluna, it sounded like this.

What are you so good at talking about?

“Should I teach a human after a long time?”

Cluna responded to the bold young girl’s words.

Lionheart Fortress was a fortress located at the forefront.

And if you pick the country closest to the fortress. After all, it could be said that it is a human kingdom and a dwarf principality. Next is the Elven Forest. So, the list is endless.

Anyway, in terms of distance, the Dwarven Principality was closer than the human kingdom. In the first place, the Human Kingdom and the Dwarven Principality are the places that play a role as a shield in the forefront.

Naturally, the damage suffered by the Kingdom and Principality was incomparable to that of other countries and races. On the other hand, the kingdom is forced to keep silent because its power is weak.

The Dwarven Principality has always actively expressed its dissatisfaction. That eccentric personality was rather helpful when it was like this. Besides, the Dwarven Principality’s technological prowess is enormous.

Other countries could not keep their mouths shut. Strictly speaking, it was humans who suffered the most damage. In the end, the person with the loudest voice benefits more.

“It just arrived.”

The request from the Dwarven Principality was to investigate a village located on the outskirts of the Principality. It is said that the disappearance of dwarves in that village continues to happen.

Of course, the Dwarven Principality also dispatched investigation teams several times. Even though troops were sent. Sadly, it is said that not a single one of them returned alive.

And that was why I was observing the village from a distance. because it’s scary A town where people go missing when you enter? Of course, I can’t help but be scared.

“Shouldn’t have come with me. f*ck.”

To be honest, I had no other thoughts. If it’s just me alone, I can somehow cover it with time stop. I told you to go alone in the Dwarf Principality as well. It was just that.

I didn’t expect it to collapse like this at the entrance. I washed my eyes and looked around the town slowly once again. I looked again a few times, but it just seemed like an ordinary village.

Still, I couldn’t judge by looking at the outside. I had no choice but to turn around and enter the village. The town streets were also ordinary streets with nothing special.

No matter how you look at it, Dwarves who looked like boys and girls were walking around the streets doing their jobs. There was a party, and I heard the sound of a flute. The smell of grilling meat is in full swing.

“It’s been a while since humans came to this village! Are you by any chance coming to enjoy a party?”

It was a dwarf man with green hair and quite a few wrinkles. Although his height was still at the level of an elementary school student. Except for the wrinkles, he looked like a young man.

“Ah, yes. I came here for a similar reason.”

“That’s great! The dwarf meat is artistically well-cooked! Where would you like to hear it?”

The elderly handed me a skewer. I accepted it. No matter how you look at it, it was an ordinary grilled skewer. It was even full of seasoning and tasted good.

“Then thank you for your meal, old man.”

“Yes, yes! Eat as much as you want without hesitation!”

However, just when I was about to put the yakitori in my mouth without thinking. Suddenly, the surrounding landscape turned gray. time has stopped what? why did it suddenly stop?

At first I didn’t know why. However, I soon realized why. It’s because of the skewers in my hand. It looked like an ordinary skewer until just now.

However, now that time has stopped. When I looked at it again, it wasn’t skewers, it was something terrible. It’s not called skewering when you put a cut finger on a skewer and grill it.

“I-what is this…?!”

I was startled and dropped the skewer. It was just an ordinary skewered dish, though. Only then did I properly check the situation in the village.

The Dwarf man who had just handed over the grilled skewers was in a state of grotesquely twisted body here and there. In particular, where the arms should be, there are the dwarf’s legs and other heads.

In addition, numerous arms were attached to the legs. It wasn’t just that man. All the dwarves here are like that. It was like a bizarre combination of mannequins.

calm down. Stay calm.

It seemed like cognitive dissonance would come from the sudden change. I desperately got my head together. It’s a shame because you’re absolutely safe thanks to the time stop.

If it wasn’t for that, I’d be confused and messed up. Anyway, after confirming that this town was not normal, I ran out of town without looking back.

The situation right now is so unfavorable to me.

So, let’s step back and fix it, then come back.
