28. travel. (2)

“Kobold. rice. lost… … .”

A combination of words that can be interpreted differently depending on hearing.

The way he speaks is that he spits out only a few words.

At least as far as I knew, there was only one girl with white hair who spoke like this.

As you can see.

Iron-Blooded Empress of the North, Rin.

‘You said your food was stolen by a kobold? … … no. No matter how much I think about it, this isn’t the case.’

No matter how strangely, it is said that it is not easy to read the inside of it in the 4th dimension.

She was a descendant of the noble wolves of the north, the ‘Linlang tribe’.

That innate fighting sense alone is exceptional even within the world view.

Even I almost stick out my tongue in certain parts.

It is said that no matter how clever the kobolds are, they are not great enough to be deprived of food by the kobolds.

If that’s the case, it’s interpreted differently and literally means that the kobold was ‘Bob’.

“Sir Dagnes. Is there a village around here?”

“… … yes? Ah yes. there will be one I can’t even remember the name.”

hmm.

Hearing that, I nodded my head as if I knew it.

‘Have you received a request? I’ve never heard of Rin registering as a mercenary, so it’s highly likely that it was a request she received while traveling around.’

Of course, in fact, I had never even heard of Rin traveling.

In any case, from Rin’s point of view, it was as if we had beaten the kobolds we were aiming for.

“there. First of all, it would be better not to approach. If you come any further, I will draw my sword.”

Even though she looked like a girl, she was wearing a sword at her waist.

Dagnes, who was wary of her, put her hand on the scabbard and said.

Well, I’m not that narrow-minded. I don’t think I’ll like it very much.

“Kobolds… … .”

is not it?

Rin muttered as she stared at the kobold whose head and neck were separated.

A delicate boundary and a state of confrontation where silence flows.

Knowing what kind of person Rin was, I tried to push Sir Dagnes back.

What broke the silence earlier than that was none other than a physiological phenomenon that rang loudly like lightning.

──Growl!

A cute sound, as if fighting for hunger.

It was Rin who was at the center of such a loud noise.

The culprit was staring at the kobold without even moving, as if he had heard it wrong.

And that confrontation was won by an unexpected person.

“… … me, maybe Would you like some of our soup, if you don’t mind? I still have a little bit left.”

Siela.

Ciela, holding the remaining soup container, scooped out the soup with a ladle and showed the inside.

I’m sure there were quite a few left over, so I had trouble figuring out how to keep them.

‘No way, that can’t be solved… … .’

gulp.

There was a clear sound of swallowing dry saliva that could be heard from a little distance away.

As the ladle was shaken, it was not the kobold, but Rin who moved her head with her eyes fixed on the ladle.

“… … Still, okay?”

what.

… … does this work?

* * *

6 minutes.

It was the time it took for Rin, who threw the kobold and rushed in, to eat all the remaining soup.

Of course, I didn’t just eat soup, and even though they gave me something like a baguette, the speed was quite phenomenal.

… … After all, there were almost 5 servings left in the soup tin.

Did Ciela’s cooking suit your taste?

Or, I don’t know if it’s just innate taste.

After emptying the bowl, Rin patted his stomach with a slightly satisfied expression.

There was no change in expression on Rin’s face.

Even so, a sense of satisfaction that can be clearly felt.

Because he was expressing that satisfaction with his mouth.

Not to express it in words, but with a soup that was buried in the mouth.

… … Iron Blood Empress.

That’s right, this.

“Here, wipe your mouth first.”

“… … ah. thanks.”

Let’s hand out a handkerchief.

Receiving it, Rin wiped his lips, and Dagnes looked at it as if he was not happy with it.

“You are rude to Gongja. Is it not enough to cut off your words, even to speak half-heartedly?”

It is ambiguous to think of it as half words. I wanted to know if that was the right dialogue.

Apparently, Dagnes decided to think that it was half words.

And insulting the nobility was also a crime that belonged to a fairly high axis among imperial laws.

“Sir Dagnes, you don’t have to go that far. Didn’t you say you would go as quietly as possible until you went to Mutu Festival?”

“… … But, Gongja-nim.”

“It’s even been called Confucius. Are you planning to reveal my identity to the neighborhood?”

Of course, if you enter the capital, you will have no choice but to hide your identity from then on.

Wouldn’t it be better not to do troublesome things as much as possible?

If it was revealed that I was Kayle of the ‘Duke Reinhardt’, there would be people who would start a fight in various ways.

More than anything, that kind of short talk didn’t matter to her.

A descendant of the Silver Lang tribe, and the heir to lead the North in the future.

It was because Rin officially held a position comparable to that of a moderately large nobleman in the empire.

“First, let’s start with Tongseongmyeong. My name is Kale. You can call me Kale.”

“… … Lin. It’s Rin.”

Also, the name as I remember.

It’s not that I didn’t see the person wrong.

Rin lowered her head as if she knew what I was going to say, but she couldn’t help it.

“sorry. no money.”

“No, I didn’t mean to ask for money… … . than that Why don’t you have any money?”

She is the successor of the North.

It was a position worthy of a great aristocrat, and of course he was not the kind of person who would be walking alone without a penny in a place like this.

You’re not a great person to lie to save some money. I would say that there really isn’t.

“… … I lost it. moneybag. So nothing for a week.”

Have you not eaten anything for a week?

So, I must have just eaten like that.

“I’ll take it off my body. I have confidence in my escort.”

“… … .”

At that, Dagnes put on a disapproving look.

That’s right, the escort knight was Dagnes.

From his point of view, he is in a situation where he has to take out a stone with a stone that he does not know where he rolled it.

“It is a little bit different to say that it is removed with the body. Would it be okay if I ask you just one question? Why did you come down here?”

“… … I was going to participate in the Mutu Festival.”

what. … … Were you a competitor?

before thinking. wait for a sec.

The North, of course, as its name suggests, is quite high.

And the Duke of Reinhardt is located in an area closer to the southern part of the empire.

And Mutuje is a great event held in Pagatti, the capital and center of the empire.

The story is that to get from the North to the South, you would have to pass through Pagatti, almost of course, unless you went round and round.

As long as it doesn’t go round and round.

tell the story again.

“… … Are you Gilchi by any chance?”

Rin turned her head to the point of the question.

Did you say silence is positive?

Or is it embarrassing to be called Gilchi?

sure thing.

The iron-blooded Empress of the north, who seemed unlikely to bleed even when stabbed, was actually a gilchi.

* * *

To tell you the conclusion. decided to accompany

The destination was also the same.

Because the more skillful escorts, the better.

However, whether or not you like it and the person itself are two different things.

And Dagnes didn’t like Rin very much.

“… … I don’t like you.”

“huh. me too.”

Rin gave a brief nod and lay down on the roof of the carriage.

Something, the more I mix the words, the more I feel like I’m going to have a good time.

Obviously, I didn’t even talk for a long time, but I felt like I was being dragged into it.

I don’t have the skills to get hurt if I fall off the wagon, so I wish I could have fallen.

What a good sense of balance. He was lying comfortably on top of the rattling carriage, not even shaking.

‘In the world, why did you say you would accompany such a person?’

It must seem pretty strong.

No matter how you look at it, there was no basic courtesy.

I decided to take care of the escort at least, so I should praise him for not getting inside the wagon.

If that was the case, it might have been a real fight.

However, it was definitely strong.

I couldn’t be sure of its strength because I had never actually faced swords.

At least equal to or better than Dagnes himself.

Perhaps he could equal the vice-captain of the White Lion Knights.

“… … !”

From nob le mt l. co m

Jump up.

Rin suddenly raised her head from the roof of the carriage.

Dagnes, who drove the wagon without a horse, murmured.

“… … Certainly, it seems that it has moved away from the territory. I saw monsters crawling out.”

The land of the empire is vast.

Yes, it was an unprecedented country that unified almost all countries except for the North.

No matter how much it was in the empire, it was virtually impossible to completely subjugate the monsters unless it was the capital.

“Need to stop. doesn’t exist.”

Dagnes tried to stop the carriage first before confronting the monster.

Having said that, Rin pulled out her sword from the roof of the carriage.

What stands on the sword is a bright silver aura.

It doesn’t match the age group that doesn’t seem so many. Skillful yet sharp aura.

It wasn’t just that.

With Rin raising her aura. For some reason, Dagnes felt a sense of incongruity and danger at the same time.

More similar to beasts than to humans.

A so-called unrefined energy close to raw.

“Chwiik, chwiik!”

At the same time, several hordes of orcs were aiming for the wagon.

It is different from lower level monsters such as kobolds and goblins.

An obvious, mid-level monster.

“… … .”

squeak.

However, it seems that it was not for nothing.

Arriving right in front of the frontmost orc, Rin swung his sword.

Fuhuaak!

Like a wolf suffocating its prey with its sharp fangs.

A sword that cuts through the throat deeply and leaves a deep bloody trail.

However, Rin skillfully, without even a single drop of blood, swung the sword as if it was no big deal.

Soon, a silver aura that pierces the necks of the orcs at high speed and takes care of the vital points.

It took a while for Dagnes to admire the skillful battle.

In a swordsman, gaps are bound to be revealed after swinging the sword.

And the Orcs, who were mid-level monsters in their own right, didn’t want to miss that gap.

Obviously Lin’s mistake.

Is it too much to handle hastily?

At first glance, I thought so.

“… … danger! There is no way to do it.”

Dagnes realized half a beat too late that even that was a gap he had created.

Kwajik.

Like a wolf’s claws crushing its prey.

It was because Rin, who sent out a white-silver aura through her fingers, grabbed the orc and tore it apart.

The time it took for her to clear all the orcs was only a fraction of a minute.

Almost impossible performance even for a fairly skilled knight.

fault!

After quickly arranging the orcs, Rin climbed back onto the carriage and lay down on the ball as if she had done her job.

An attitude as if a mat was laid out as if it were my seat.

Should I call this sincere or lazy?

I don’t know, but one thing can be said for sure.

The carriage heading to the capital of the empire had never stopped since then, except when eating.
