70 – You must never provoke the Kamps (1)

Interactions with the Beasts have also been considerably restored. Of course, it’s not at the level of distributing resources at all. It was an undeniable fact that more resources were coming than previously agreed upon.

Kingdom, principality. And since the support of the 12 tribes has been added. Little by little, I started to relax. Of course, it was unavoidable that they received less support than the Royal Knights in their prime.

The important thing is that the Royal Knights are getting back to where they once were. Now that the three races have started supporting again, the other races will also slowly begin to move.

This was not a bad achievement after only half a year. In the meantime, time continued to pass. The pale warmth of spring days has disappeared, and hot summer has taken its place.

I thought while drinking the tea Cluna brought. In my heart, I wanted to give you a summer vacation. Giving a vacation in the current situation is not a good option.

Even at this moment, somewhere, people are dying due to monster attacks. We can’t just laugh and have fun. I asked Cluna.

“Are there any requests received today?”

“There are, but there are only requests that I can afford.”

“Okay, then let’s take a day off from combat today.”

“Closed for battle? What is it?”

Oops, I ended up using the tone of my military days without realizing it. I cleared my throat and briefly explained. In one word, combat leave was similar to a vacation with many restrictions.

I can’t go out or do anything. A holiday with no other work to do. There will be no urgent request right now, and an emergency stand-by team will be prepared. It didn’t seem like a bad choice.

“Okay, that certainly doesn’t seem like a bad option.”

“Recently, I had a lot of work to do, such as training and introducing an emergency standby team.”

“Okay. Let’s pass it on to everyone.”

“It’s a lot of work.”

Cluna left her office with a light smile. She didn’t even have the desire to gather and inquire. On my days off, I just want to relax. That’s my little wish

“But isn’t this very different from the small business mindset?”

I thought about it for a while. She immediately shook her head and she brushed the thought away. A distinction must be made between public and private. Apart from quitting the general manager position by operating with a small business mindset.

In a situation where demons and monsters are infested right now. I couldn’t do anything that would lower the morale and combat power of the members. Then, what if the tower you barely restored collapsed again?

Then a brilliant idea occurred to me. The name of the military-style watch officer operation. When you’re in the military, what’s one of the f*cking things? It is the officer on duty who touches on holidays.

[Did I wish you anything difficult? If you just keep what you need to protect, you won’t touch it, right?]

[Do some cleaning. Since the weather is nice, bring a mat and a blanket and dry in the sun.]

[This is what you guys think. Did all that dust and dirt come into your mouth?]

Thinking back to that time, it was more than angry, it was almost disgusting. Anyways, this isn’t bad. Although it has a slight effect on fraud. It won’t be that big.

Anyway, except for the guard duty, it’s like taking a 24-hour break. It’s just that I feel a little bit queasy. Deciding that it was not a bad idea, I got up from my seat.

“To everyone, Captain.”

“You worked hard.”

“Do you have any other information?”

“I’ll pass that on while eating.”

For me to have it delivered to Cluna, who has just returned, was something that crossed the line even in my opinion. A little while later, during breakfast, I concluded the conversation with my own delivery.

This week’s meal was Yuren and Ruby. This is also an unexpected fact, Yuren and Ruby are good at cooking. At least it was more edible than Clara’s.

However, it was a problem because my tastes were too lopsided. Yuren liked very spicy meat and soup. Ruby also preferred spicy food. Did those two collaborate?

“Oh, it’s so spicy!! Is this human food?!”

“I swore I wouldn’t run away, but…”

“…….”

Clara was determined and arguing. Bayard was on the verge of fainting. Cluna also had a crack in her smile. It was just a mess. At that time, Helya, who was next to her, spoke.

“Is the teacher all right?”

“It’s not bad. It’s been a while since I’ve had it.”

“Hmm! You’re the leader!”

“Ha, but if you don’t like the food… It’s a pity…”

Unlike Ruby, who sticks out her breasts with her confident expression, Yuren wrung her fingers and muttered. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with it. She decided not to ask.

For my mental health.

I personally like spicy food. It didn’t taste bad, though. However, preparing spicy food like this every time could lower the morale of the other members.

I cautioned Yuren and Ruby. They showed slight dissatisfaction, but chose to obey my words. It seems that they know that they have been overdoing it.

“Oh f*ck I forgot.”

And thanks to that, I even forgot to sun-dry it. I let out a sigh. I’m going to pass that on to everyone later during lunch.

For now, let’s focus on work first. After finishing the meal, I returned to the office and resumed unfinished work. How to use the resources received from each race.

And how to use resources efficiently. Other than that, there was a lot of work to be done. Was it because I was focused on work? I didn’t even notice that Cluna had entered.

“Captain, I will help.”

“You can also go and rest.”

“Yes? But…”

“Today is a day off from combat. It is a day off for all members. And you are no different.”

“……Is that so? Then, excuse me…”

After a moment of surprise, Cluna smiled lightly and bowed her head to me, after which she left the office. Left alone again, I soon began to focus on my work.

Then, I suddenly found a letter on my desk that I hadn’t seen before. Again, as the Comprachicos sent before. I suspected it might have been made from human skin. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

I took out the letter and read it. And it wasn’t long before I realized that I couldn’t read the words on the letter. It was a letter written in a different font, not the common language of the continent.

“I remember reading it somewhere.”

After much thought. I remembered that the handwriting was very similar to the memo Cluna had written. She was able to remember because she had often seen the notes written by Cluna.

After scratching my head for a while, I pushed the chair back and stood up. I know where the room with Cluna is. I can come and give it to you. I thought it was simple.

That was until I personally saw Cluna’s expression greatly distorted after receiving the letter from me. Beyond losing her smile, it’s rare for Cluna to frown.

In other words.

Now, that letter has meant that it contains more serious content than I thought. It wasn’t long before Cluna had her smile on her face again. To the point where I get goosebumps watching it.

“Cluna, what is that letter about?”

“Sorry, Captain. This is a private matter.”

“I see. In that case, I can’t help it.”

“Captain.”

“Hmm?”

“Excuse me, would you mind if I leave for a while?”

Her mouth was smiling.

A smile that is as cold as an ice field in midwinter.

* * *

Cluna greeted me and quickly packed her things and left the fort. I didn’t have the courage to hold onto her cluna. Because if I said anything right away, it was as if I would cut her wrists off.

But she couldn’t stay still. Something must have happened to the elven forest. Did the demons intervene again? No, there will still be damage for the demons to intervene.

In addition, the forest of elves is the place where the power of the barrier remains the strongest, so it is difficult for demons to make modifications. In other words, you won’t be able to plant spies like the principality or the 12 tribes’ Yana.

“My mother left alone… Left me?”

“Oh…”

But the problem didn’t end there. Clara recognized that Cluna had left her alone. Besides, for some reason, she knows that Cluna was in an unusual mood.

“Clara, do you know anything?”

“……Sorry, talking without your mother’s permission is a bit…”

“I see. Then don’t force it.”

Clara expressed disapproval. Thanks to her, she was able to grasp the approximate circumstances. Something Clara knew had happened in the elven forest. So Cluna did her reaction.

She left for the elven forest alone. Besides, leaving behind her daughter, Clara, meant that the elven forest was in danger. Or she means Clara could be in danger.

So, stay calm here…….

“Captain, I have a favor.”

“Huh?”

“Come with me to the Elven Forest.”

Who is that mother and her daughter? Clara’s momentum alone was enough to not be pushed by Cluna.
