Beyond the slope was a forest.

It's already on the grounds of the sacred fountain.

In the valley of grudges, there is no such thing as a spreading grudge.

After a while on the road, I finally saw the shrine where the statue of the goddess was enshrined.

Several carriages are parked beside it.

Sonia and her friends were there.I can see the Gregors and the Knights.It looks like we made it out of the landslide and made it back together safely.

"Ah! It's Eleanor!

As our carriage approached, Seyla noticed us.--As soon as I caught my face coming out of the front of the cargo bay ---

"And there's Mr. Sieg!

The light flashed on Seyla's face.

Sonia, Spinoza and Fam also reacted to her voice.

"Great! You're safe!

There was tears in Seyla's eyes as she rushed to the carriage.

"Hey, you're not gonna cry."

"I mean... I was really worried!

Saira said while taking my hands to make sure.

"After all, I thought you had a problem."

Spinoza put her hands behind her head and had a mixed expression of astonishment and joy.

"... fufu.You're always beyond my imagination. "

The facial expression also seems to be relaxed.

I'm glad you're okay.

I was able to resume without missing anyone.

We were able to protect everyone.

"Sieg, it was a cause.I'll send a compliment. "

Sonia said that looking at me.

"I just did my job as an escort.Besides... "

Besides?

"I can't disobey Her Majesty's orders."

"-That's right.Very well, your loyalty deserves praise. "

Sonia smiled slightly.

Then Gregor, with his rugged face, approached me.

He has a verse that makes me his enemy.Is it said that I don't like it again?That's what I was thinking.

Gregor came to me and knelt on his knees.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude as chief of the Knights Corps for protecting Her Royal Highness.If it weren't for you, it would have been wiped out. "

I was surprised.

Gregor thanked me honestly.

As a Knights, I thought I was humiliated that the guard had taken advantage of me.No, I suppose so.

You just pushed me to death with humiliation, but you've done me a favor.

"I just did what I had to.I won't be thanked again.Raise your head quickly. "

"... I'm sorry. Thank you."

Gregor murmured, raised his face and stood up.

"There's one more thing I care about."

"What's bothering you?

"Ah. The Demon Man I confronted - when he died, he revealed that we had an informant with the Demon Man."

"" Whoa!?

Everyone screamed at me. [M]

"Informant..."

"Weren't they just throwing up bullshit because of the confusion?

Gregor said.

"But our behavioral patterns were out of the box, right?It's natural to think of internal circumstances as leaking. "

Saira says.

"Five of us got caught in the crossfire, huh?So the informant is in the Knights, isn't he?

Spinoza stares at the Knights with his confused eyes.

"You? Or you?

"No! Don't say the right thing!

"You're going to betray our country!

"How rude!I'm gonna slash you down!

The suspicious Knights revealed their anger.Some of them are still trying to pull out their swords.

You must have seen a lot of noise.

"- You guys. Stay calm."

That's what Sonia said and suppressed the field.

Shin, silence descends.

"--It doesn't matter if the rat is getting mixed up.As long as you protect me with your lives. "

After looking around, she told her.

"After a short rest, we will begin the ritual."

After taking a break, go to the sacred fountain.

Climb the long stone staircase from the shrine where the statue of the goddess is enshrined.

I couldn't travel by carriage, so I was on foot.

"Fam, what's wrong?You look pale. "

The pham walking beside him was heavy.Normally she doesn't show her emotions, but her face is rarely bleeding with fatigue.

"... I'm not feeling well at all."

Fam murmured with a bitter smile.

"I can't believe I got stuck on that little trip.How pathetic. Normally, this is the one who pulls the strings. "

"... please don't think with your brain muscle."

"Don't make it impossible.Would you like some water?

Seyla presents the magic bottle of water to Fam.

"... that's impossible."

When the fam receives it honestly, he drinks with a narrow throat.

"... it's okay now."

I must have gotten dizzy when I tried to walk again.My body is shaking with flutter.I grab that gorgeous shoulder.

"Don't push yourself.I'll take it from here. "

"... I'm sorry."

The fam murmured.

"... let me sweeten your words this time."

Ah.

I put the pham on my back.Light as a feather.

She is the youngest and the smallest member of the squad.If you're in a hostile environment in the Valley of Grievance, you can't help but drive things crazy.

"... your shoulders stink a little bit."

"Never mind."

"... but I'm relieved that you're doing something like this."

When Fam murmured, he leaned on my back.

Her body is relaxed.

It conveys that you are completely at ease.

"Sieg, give me a break, too.Because Dahl is here. "

"You walk on your own."

"What is it? Kechi"

Spinoza frowns with dissatisfaction.

She and Seyla were all pinned up.Sometimes it's an avant-garde position, but they both seem pretty tough physically and mentally.

As I was walking, I went out to a place like a square.

"Everyone else is fine.Sieg will attend my ceremony.Just you, "Sonia suddenly said, surprising.

"Dear Sonia! What are you talking about...!

It was Gregor who talked like that when he looked wounded.

"Let him accompany me to a sacred ritual...!This is insane!What if something happens!?

"Demons cannot enter this sacred place.You won't have to worry about a raid.If you were attacked, it would be fine if you had Siegfried.The strength of this man has been well proven in the march ahead. "

Sonia said in a light tone.

"And if rats really get mixed up in us, it's risky to have others accompany us to the ritual.In that regard, Sieg's loyalty is genuine.He protected me without saving his own life. "

"But....!

"I'm not going to ask you a question.This is a decision. "

Sonia pushed through with a tone of silence.

Gregor of the Knights said I was more loyal than myself.
