A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

075. each person’s decision

“…Good! With this, the savory mint has been harvested.”

Drago crossed out Savory Mint on a sheet of paper filled with herb names.

Allie patted Drago on the back as she carried a leather bag filled with mints.

“Yes, you did a good job too. If this continues, I think you’ll be able to collect everything within today?”

In the end, the village quietly decided to prepare a banquet as the dragon wanted.

Therefore, the villagers divided their roles and began to work diligently.

Drago and Allie decided to gather berries and spices to use in food.

“By the way, Savory Mint… It’s a very familiar name.”

Drago tilted his head once,

In the end, I slumped my shoulders without being able to find any memories.

‘I’m such a pathetic guy.’

These days, I’ve been feeling helpless like this all the time.

Ever since I had contact with those strangers, I have been calmly preparing for the banquet.

‘I know this isn’t the time, but I don’t know what to do in the first place.’

But I couldn’t show those feelings outwardly.

If that were the case, Allie would quickly notice and make a sad expression.

‘for a moment. ‘I think I’ve seen that leaf somewhere before.’

I looked through the list, but none of the names matched.

Then I soon realized that the plant was the one drawn on the note the other day.

‘… Let’s collect it just in case.’

Drago watched Allie’s thoughts and then gently removed a leaf from the plant.

But Ally suddenly turned around and was immediately caught.

“Oh, hey, this is…”

Allie forcibly took the leaf from Drago’s hand.

Then he took out a small pouch from his inner pocket and put it inside.

When I looked closely, I saw that the pouch was already full of leaves of the same type.

As Ally smiled mischievously, Drago also smiled shyly and said.

“Haha… But, hey, what are the plants drawn on that note?”

Allie put her finger to her mouth and turned around.

In the end, Drago couldn’t ask anything more and chased after her without saying a word.

Whatever it is, there are still two days until the banquet.

There was no time for other useless thoughts.

***

At that time, the Skywilder was being chased by a dragon.

“Really, just chase after me!”

Prince Siran shouted, turning the steering wheel nervously.

Pyrrhol and Locke fired hard at the dragon with their side guns, but it was useless.

“You can only guess once in a hundred times.”

“It seems like there wasn’t much damage even if I got hit in the first place.”

In fact, the dragon shouted as if mocking them.

“Hahaha! Why but! Can’t I shoot a little straighter!”

Pyrrhol and Locke became even more incensed at the provocation.

However, it was useless against a dragon that performed tricks in the air with its huge body.

However, the dragon never attacked the Skywilder directly.

The only purpose seemed to be to prevent entry into the snowy mountain.

In the end, even Prince Siran was so intoxicated that he shouted into the loudspeaker.

“Hey you winged lizard! What is your purpose?”

“This mountain is my land!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! You are Grokath, the Martial Dragon living in the Romer Empire!”

“Hoo! He’s quite knowledgeable!”

“Why on earth does the legendary dragon keep chasing us around and harassing us like we’re moths?”

“Finding that out is also your ordeal!”

“That damn lizard is really…”

In the end, Prince Siran shouted, irritably turning the arrow sharply.

“Once the first objective has been achieved, we retreat! Let’s go back to the camp and plan again!”

Then he looked back and muttered.

“What on earth is he thinking?”

***

That night.

Drago was exhausted from trekking through the snowy mountains all day and immediately lay down on the bed.

But for some reason I couldn’t sleep.

“What is this vague feeling that I need to do something?”

I looked around with open eyes and immediately caught my eye on the broom standing on the wall.

“Do you want to clean? No, rather than that…”

Drago carefully stood up and grabbed the broom with both hands.

Then, instinctively, I swung it like a sword.

no wonder,

I felt very at ease.

“Was I a prosecutor?”

However, there was clearly no sword among Drago’s belongings.

Moreover, until a few days ago, his hands were so messed up that he couldn’t hold the ax handle properly.

“…It would be nice if I could borrow at least a wooden sword.”

However, using a sword was taboo in this village.

A sword exists to protect something.

In this ‘village of the forgotten and forgotten’, it’s just a lingering attachment to the world or something.

“What on earth did I swear to protect?”

I am aware that I have forgotten something very important.

But I couldn’t abandon my current village because of feelings I couldn’t even remember.

Because this is not a personal problem.

If Drago leaves this village,

So, if the existence of this village becomes known to the outside world,

This town will definitely disappear…

At that time, I felt a small noise outside the window.

It was common for villagers to watch Drago from time to time.

However, his presence was abnormally quieter than usual.

Drago carefully went out of the house while holding a broom.

While taking a walk around the house, from the back –

“Don’t move.”

… Someone put a sword to Drago’s neck.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Drago tried to look back slightly.

However, only the tip of the white cloak was visible,

I could no longer turn my head as the woman held her sword so close to me threateningly.

“I told you not to move.”

“There must have been a barrier in this village to detect intruders, but how did they break through?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Are you an acquaintance from my past?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Then what on earth do you want from me?”

Then, after some pause, the woman answered.

“just.”

“just?!”

Drago was so dumbfounded that he was speechless.

Then the woman asked.

“Is this town a good place to live?”

“Let’s first put away the sword and talk about that-”

“Please answer the question.”

When the woman did not withdraw her sword, Drago eventually gave up and answered obediently.

“At least I liked this town. The people are friendly, and surprisingly, there are no inconveniences.”

“So, are you happy now?”

Drago’s pupils shook greatly at that question.

A question I’ve heard somewhere before.

This is a question I have been thinking about for a long time.

Even if I had no memory, I definitely knew the answer to that question.

“Thank you. Thanks to your question, I have made up my mind.”

He put away the sword with his hand and turned around.

Then he looked directly at the woman in the white cloak and spoke confidently.

“I guess I’m a selfish person.”

“what do you mean?”

“Allie and this village are precious to me. Although the time we met was short, my memories with them are everything to me now.”

“…I see.”

The woman seemed to have resigned herself to something and withdrew her sword and turned around.

But before she could leave, Drago spoke.

“But at the same time, you are definitely my precious person too.”

“what?”

“It is meaningless to compare who is more precious. If everyone is not happy, it is already a wrong choice.”

The woman turned around again.

I tried to reply with a very harsh expression, but

Before that, Drago said as he grabbed both of the woman’s shoulders.

“Neither this village nor you will give up. That is my answer.”

“You’re so indecisive.”

“It’s the opposite. I’m a selfish guy to no end.”

At that time, I heard someone shouting from afar.

“An intruder has entered the village! Search immediately!”

As the woman quickly prepared to leave, Drago held her arm and asked her one last question.

“Wait a minute! So who are you?”

Then the woman smiled sadly and gave an odd answer.

“Dry three kinds of herbs, grind them into powder, and eat them. Boiling them in water will not be effective.”

“No, what is your name?”

“I won’t teach you.”

The woman shook off Drago’s arm.

“So, the next time we meet, call my name out of your mouth first.”

And then quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Drago looked in silence for a while in the direction where the woman disappeared,

Soon, he sat down as if his legs had lost strength.

“I see. You are the person I want to save.”

I glared at the star-filled night sky and clenched my hands tightly.

“I won’t let anyone be unhappy.”

… Meanwhile, there was a person hiding behind a nearby tree, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Ally stayed still for a moment with her head down,

He soon left quietly as if he had decided on something.

***

The next morning.

Drago worked with the villagers to move the huge wooden planks to the middle of the square.

“Come on, come on! There’s not much left, so let’s all do our best!”

Thanks to this, the work of creating a huge festival foundation went smoothly.

People looked at his unnecessarily cheerful and passionate appearance with satisfaction and said something to him one by one.

“You are the first person to adapt to the village so quickly.”

“I’m so glad that a young man came after a long time.”

“Thanks to you, this village is coming to life for the first time in a while.”

The old woman who was watching from afar muttered.

“It doesn’t seem like he’s acting at all, it looks like he’s really decided to live in this town.”

Then he asked Allie who was next to him.

“What happened last night?”

Allie forced a smile at those words.

She didn’t miss.

The fact that Drago is secretly stealing materials and gathering them behind his house.
