Kochugunshikan Boukensha ni Naru

When she went to the dining room on the first floor, Elna was talking to the Clelia at the innermost table. Dalsim and leaders are also available for your convenience.

The people in the hotel had been informed that we were Shining Stars and told them that they were not served except during meals and cleaning. Of course, this is a possible attack. He suggested the possibility to the innkeeper and he was convinced easily after paying a lot of inconvenience. The stakeholders are in a separate employee building, so only Shining Star members are in the building.

"Alan, have you finished painting the emblem?"

"No, I still want to ask Erna."

"What?"

"Erna is a group of people who worked together before coming to Gotania. Do you know the name Heinz, Bruno?"

"... Heinz is the name of the group leader, Bruno is the name of the deputy group leader, but why was Alan named him?"

"Yes, everyone.

Everyone in the cafeteria gathered at Clelia's table for something. There should be about forty people in all.

"I have heard that the members of the group who had previously acted with Elna had been detained and taken away by the nobles of the country, but their captives were probably It turns out I'm trapped in a castle dungeon. ''

"Oh !?" "Is it true? Alan"

"Oh, it's true."

"Are you alive?" "What is that ..."

"Erna, how many were captured?"

"Nine people"

"Yes. Then it's likely that the castle will be a dungeon. If so, everyone may be alive."

Nowadays, when I say something crazy, people have come to believe it normally without asking anything. I'm sure you're used to it. Human adaptability is amazing.

"Such ... it's a castle dungeon. Then those who were captured ... what to do?"

"Of course I'll help you."

"... Alan, this is an important moment ahead of medal, but unfortunately, I'll wait for it now and consider whether I should endure."

"No, I don't leave my mate in the dungeon. Dalsim, bad but helping is a decision."

"…… I've acknowledged"

"Fortunately there is an ordinance five days later, at which time we will try to rescue you."

"But how?"

"I haven't decided the details yet, but the basic policy is that while I'm attending the ordinance, celebration, the rescue team will rescue me from the prison and hide it in a carriage. It's a strategy to come out. ''

"... What is the rescue crew?"

"According to the precautions, I can only take three servants. Serena, Sharon, Elna. Will you do it?"

"Of course" "I understand"

Serena and Sharon are enough for the fight. If Elna goes, it will be easier to explain to the knights.

"Such ... only three people?"

"Even if you could increase the number of servants by force, you would only have one carriage. You couldn't increase that much, and it shouldn't stand out. The problem is whether the servant is a woman."

"Perhaps that's not a problem. As you may see with some curiosity, you're just starting a house and it's not that there is no aristocrat who has a servant around you."

Some people from Konoe are nodding. Apparently, servants among the aristocracy are not so unusual. Is it like a mistress? Well, I don't mind if you look a bit strange.

"According to the information I got, the captives seemed to be in a very tough situation. They were probably thin and worn, and they were wearing rags. If you walk around the castle in such a style, you will quickly lose shape right"

"what should I do?"

"If possible, I'd like to get the same thing as a guard alone in clothes alone. The castle guard and the town garrison dressed the same. I want to find a firm that sells equipment to guards and garrisons."

"Then I'll look into that firm."

"Kattle, please. I'd like to have at least eleven clothes if possible. In the worst case, there is a way to attack the garrison of the royal city and peel off his body, but I do not want to do it if possible."

"understood"

"In the worst case of a failed rescue operation, you may be fighting the castle guards and garrisons.

Tension runs on everyone's face. Well, no wonder. Not only guards and garrisoners, but also bad fighters will fight the army.

"What, then, let's go to the neighboring kingdom of Cecilio. If you take Gloria, you will surely be a baron."

Everyone laughed at this joke. No, it's not a joke, it might be.

"Details of the strategy will be decided by the closing date.

"" Hatsu ""

There isn't much to consider and do if Iris hasn't finished checking the castle's security. I pulled up to the room to finish the emblem.

The next morning, when I went to the cafeteria for breakfast, Cattle was just leaving the inn. In addition to the merchant group, he has five temporary assistants. Apparently, the five had offered help to Quatre.

"Then we'll go."

"Cutle, please."

Yesterday's drunks also returned to the barracks at Ojo. I wondered if it would be security for the soldiers of the castle to go drinking in the city, but if rescue operations during the ordination ceremony seem difficult, sneaking in by guards is also an ant.

Clelia were already at the table and having breakfast. I had a buffet breakfast on a plate and I was at the table too.

"Alan, are you sure all my members are alive?"

"No, I don't know, but there is no doubt that one of the dungeons has nine people in it."

"…… Is that so"

That's when Elna thought. Clelia is also pensive. Apparently, Elna and Clelia seem to be responsible.

For me, they don't know the face or name, but for Elna and Clelia, they've been with each other. It may be natural. Suddenly, Elna's eyes changed. It's a sharp eye as determined.

"Alan, can the guards be killed during the rescue operation?"

"No, I don't want to kill you if you can. If you're killed instead of just escaping, you'll be seriously searching for it. At least I'll be serious."

"... I see. Sharon, Serena. Could you tell me any martial arts you could use in the operation? Swords and wooden swords would kill you."

"Of course" "There is a perfect technique that can be used in such a case."

Imperial martial arts were originally conceived for interpersonal martial arts, and they are particularly effective in actual battles when stealthy. It would be perfect for this strategy. I don't think Elna needs to learn martial arts because she can use an air bullet, but magic can make noise unexpectedly. The more hands you can use, the better.

He seems to be training in the hotel's courtyard immediately. Clelia, who did not participate in the rescue, accompanied her. Well, I will go to the studio to deliver the emblem finished last night.

According to the map of the workshop I got at the castle, I arrived at the workshop after walking about 30 minutes. It is not as loud as a blacksmith workshop, as it is a workshop specializing in craftsmanship.

"Hello, Do you have a master?"

"Oh, master! You're a guest."

"Is it a customer?"

A gigantic big man, invisible to craftsmen, ran from behind. This man seems to be the master of the studio.

"Hello. This time, the Baron,"

"It's a drawing of the emblem!

"... Ah, this is it."

"What is this ?! Is this an emblem? Hey, definitely this is a drawing of the Baron's emblem?"

"Yes, definitely."

"It's great. It's the first time we have such a strange emblem. I thought Dragon Slayer wasn't normal, but this was more than I expected. Your master looks like a weird freak."

Apparently he was mistaken for a baron's servant. Should I correct it? I might ask for something in the future and I should correct it.

"Hello, I'm Shining Star, leader Alan."

The gesture to check the master's drawing has stopped.

"... you? No, you?"

"I agree"

"I'm sorry!"

The master and four other craftsmen also kneel on the spot.

"Oh, please stop. I'm not a noble yet, and I'm not good at being stiff."

"... so can you forgive me?"

"Of course. That's fine after you've become a noble. You're just an adventurer right now."

"really?"

"It's true"

"Well, let's do it without hesitation. What the hurry was. No way, I didn't think Dragon Slayer was so young. Why didn't you bring your companion?"

"I'm not a noble yet, and everyone isn't that much time."

"No, it's necessary! Well, why don't we need a Dragon Slayer? My name is Cruz.

"This is it. I'm sorry for the strange design. It's a design that has been passed down to the house for generations."

"No, it's a strange emblem, but it looks like it's well thought out depending on what you're seeing.

"No, it's a fact that has changed. I don't care at all."

"Oops, I can't do this. I'm bad, but I'm going to work. I have to get to the castle in the morning four days later."

"By the way, what is the cost of the emblem?"

"We have already received a deposit, and the balance will be paid in exchange for goods."

What an emblem is like a castle payment. It was surprising just to think that it would be bought definitely.

"Would you please show me the workshop if you like? I won't bother you."

"Oh, I don't care if you can't see them."

When I went to the workshop about my master, there were a wide variety of tools that seemed to be a workmanship workshop.

"This is the board used for the emblem."

The master showed me a board made of Mithril. I guess I will cut this and make a coat of arms.

"By the way, how do you process mythril boards? They are very hard, right?"

"Oh, well, this is unbaked Mithril. I'll use baked Mithril fleas and files."

Mithril seems to get harder when it is baked. However, it would be a tough job to cut this.

"Well, this pattern is going to be copied someday today."

The master then applied the design I wrote to the Mithril version and began to hit one point at a time with a line drawn with a pointed ice pick. Indeed, do you copy the design on the board this way? It's a daunting task.

"If you like, should I draw?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"If you like, draw this pattern on the board."

"... can't you do that?"

"Please let me do it."

"Well, it's your emblem. Don't like it."

(Display the empire mark drawn on the board last night)

[Roger that]

When he received an ice pick from his master, he scratched the board. It's harder than drawing with a pen because you have to put a lot of effort into it, but it's not a problem to follow the red virtual line.

"Oh !?"

It is a trick to draw while fixing your wrist and applying a certain amount of force. If you get used to it, it's not much different from drawing on paper. I was able to finish drawing in enough.

"How about like this? I think you can draw properly."

The master puts a piece of paper with a design on the board and checks if they are the same.

"... There's nothing wrong with you. How did you do it?"

"I'm good at drawing."

"I'm good at it ... No, it turns out that Dragon Slayer is different from ordinary people. I thought dragon suppression was a lie, but now I can believe it."

"Haha, yes. Thank you."

"I can't help being an aristocrat. I'll hire an exclusive painter at my house if I get tired of the aristocracy.

"Let's remember"

After watching the work of the masters for a while, it was bad to interrupt the work, so I decided to leave the studio and return to the inn.

Returning to the inn, we went to see the Elna practicing in the courtyard.

"Oh, Alan, just in the right place. I want to practice the skills I learned from Serenas. Please go out.

"... Okay, but what technique did you teach?"

She tried to check with Serena and Sharon, but they looked away. Elna grins grinning. I had a bad feeling about it.

"It's a secret, would you avoid it if you knew it?"

"No, if I don't know what technique ..."

"I'll go!"

Elna rushed in without question.

No, it was bad. Sharon and his teachers taught Erna all the tricks they were aiming for at key points, something that ordinary Kumite would have forbidden. If I weren't, I would have had Moro's skill. Some of the clans watched the practice, but they did not disperse the spider cubs after seeing Elna's questionless attack. He seemed to think that it was irresistible to be a training partner.

Erna's enthusiasm for the rescue operation was genuine, and training continued until evening without lunch. Originally, Elna's line was not bad. With just one day of practice today, he was able to improve his skills to a level that would allow him to practice.

"Finally, I know what kind of technique. Alan, please go out with me every day until the rescue operation."

"... Oh, I understand."

When we took a bath and headed to the dining room for an early dinner, everyone was talking around Quatre.

"Alan, look here."

Oh, is that the clothes the castle guards wore?

"Cutle! Did you get it?"

"Yes. I got fifteen pieces of clothing worn by guards. I got five pieces of clothing worn by a castle lady."

"That's great!

"There was no problem locating the company, because it was a famous clothing store in the royal capital. It was almost impossible to get from the company, so I got information on subcontracting. I had a little trouble. "

"Alan-sama, Quatre is a great merchant! It was a masterpiece to get information one after another in a way we could not afford."

Those who came were the assistants of Quattle.

"... I'm grateful for the praise, but it's only obvious to merchants. I got these clothes secretly from one of several subcontracting workshops, I don't think I can get on my feet. ''

"Yes. Well done, Quattle. This makes rescue operations much easier."

The cattle were praised by everyone and beaten their shoulders and were very happy.

"Alan, you see the commercial guild."

"A commercial guild? What?"

At the entrance of the inn, there were three men dressed like merchants. Behind you can also see what seems to be an escort. One of the three has started. A man with a fearless look like a forties.

"Hello, Alan. I am the royal commercial guild, the guild chief Jan. Thank you."

"Thank you, this is what you're talking about.

The guild leader has visited me so I must give him a minimum of hospitality. I got a table in the cafeteria and tried to serve tea.

"What are the requirements for the guild leader to come by himself?"

"No, it's not a big business. The main reason is that the guild was in the royal capital and came to say hello. Congratulations Alan. I will. "

As expected, he seems to know that he should be the head of a commercial guild, and that I am a baron.

"Thank you"

"Thank you and thank you again for capturing the bandits."

Well, it should have been a request for commercial guilds to defeat bandits. Doesn't it mean that the thief caught the other day is counted as a thief, and the guild gets paid?

"I'm wondering if it's a bandit."

"Certainly, obviously, those who aimed at the Shining Stars. I'm looking into some of the thieves, I was an executive. ''

"Hey, behind the scenes. What kind of organization is it?"

"They're not good guys. It's a group of villains that do pickpockets, robbery, kidnapping, and even murder.

"I thought it was such a thing ... Is it someone hired?"

"Probably. People who usually get along gathered. It is natural to think so. Let me know if you know something."

"Thank you very much. I'm always on the lookout for this assault."

"I think it's a wise decision. There's a good chance. I'll call on the garrison to be vigilant in this area."

"Thank you"

The capital's commercial guild seems to have the power to move the garrison. It was worth fulfilling the request of a commercial guild.

"And a message was sent to Alan via the guild, so I brought it."

"Is it a message to me? Thank you"

The delivered message was put in something like an envelope and sealed. who might that be. Maybe Roberto in the Kingdom of Cecilio or Carina from Ganz? Let's check later.

After a while, after talking about the auction and the security of the royal city, the guilds returned to stay longer. It looks like he just came to say hello. After talking, I understand that this guild leader, Yang, seems to be a pretty good guy. Let's make friends in the future.

I just opened the message I received earlier.

"Oh, it's Roberto ... Is this !?"

"Alan, what was written?"

Everyone gathers close to me, astonishingly. I handed a message to Clelia.

"Celebration, dragon defeat. We are heading for the royal capital. Number, thousand. Hope to join "

The message had the date it was received, which was twenty-five days ago. Perhaps he saw the message I sent and acted immediately.

(Iris, please determine the current position of this lead squad)

[Confirmed]

"Thousands! Why ..."

After Clelia looked, the message was sent to everyone.

"... What is this ?! What is Robert thinking about doing this without Lear's permission ..."

"I guess you've soared up to the news of the dragon defeat. What's wrong?"

"But the base hasn't been built yet. Even if thousands of people come ..."

"No, there are already enough bases to live if you want to live if you have a thousand people."

"Alan! Did your subordinates contact you?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's a message or a message. I've been telling you about the progress."

"I wish I could meet you ..."

"Yes, I'm sorry. But what happened? Was it a promise to have Clelia see the base first?"

"... Alan, is the base a place where people can live without problems?"

"Oh no problem. It's a very comfortable place as originally planned."

"... comfortable, what?

"Of course. Ah, just a building is built but windows aren't there yet. Obtaining glass seems to have gone wrong."

"Glass window? Is it necessary?"

"No, do you need a window? Of course, there is an itado, but it must be a window."

I checked around and found that only Serena and Sharon nodded.

"... Alan. Do you already have a building that can live a thousand people without windows?"

"Oh, if you don't need windows, 5,000 to 6,000 people can live right now."

"6,000 people?"

The construction plan for the base is far ahead of the original plan. Initially, Iris anticipated that it would take a year to build the site, but the processing of the stone at the location chosen for the site was unexpectedly easy, greatly shortening the construction period.

"Alan. Does having that many buildings mean that you already have exterior walls?"

"Outer wall? Ah, it's a wall that surrounds the city. Of course, it's done.

"Wonderful! So there's no problem living anymore?"

"Well, that's right. Is it your promise with Clelia to confirm your location first?"

"... Alan. That promise is okay. I can't finish it anymore, and I believe it if Alan thinks it's okay. How about everyone?"

"If there is no problem with Alan and Leah, we should not have objection."

"I don't have any problems with the base at this point. I'd like to leave for the base as soon as my business in the royal capital is over, but I don't know what will happen depending on the result of the rescue operation. Let's get an overview of the strategy tomorrow. "

"I understand" "I understand"

At the moment everything is in flux. Is the medal awarded without problems, is the rescue operation going well, and what are the Roberts doing? I have to do it one by one.

Near the end of dinner, Iris received a call.

[I found a party that seems to be a starter squad]

(Okay, let's get the report in the room. Serena, Sharon, will you come to the room?)

((I understand))

When Serena and Sharon came into the room, Iris appeared.

"Have a look at this"

The entire wall of the room turned into a screen, and dozens of windows encamped by suspected starters were displayed. Thousands do not seem to be moving in one lump, but in several squads.

"It must be this. Are they all soldiers?"

"No, only about 40% wear armor. I guess it's some kind of craftsman, based on his clothes, his belongings, and the tools he's carrying."

"A craftsman. I guess Roberto's idea is to help build a base. It's not going to help a craftsman to come because a general-purpose bot can't really do much more."

"Captain. When are these people arriving at the royal capital?"

"I guess it is forty days."

"Forty days. In any case, there's nothing we can do right now. Put a drone on guard with this party."

"Confirmed"

"Then, next is the rescue operation. Tell me what you found today."

"This is the best route to get into the dungeon."

A see-through of the castle was displayed, with the path from the stop where the carriage stopped to the castle and then to the dungeon displayed in red.

"I don't think it's okay to get into the castle if you're dressed as a woman. The problem is, again, that you'll meet the castle's people in the castle. Two, four guards by the dungeon. "

"Six guards, less than expected."

"Since today's security situation was just six, we don't know what would happen on the day."

"That's right. I have to look at the situation in the morning on that day and make a strategy."

"I looked at the girl's clothes, but I think it would be difficult to bring a sword, rifle, or laser gun with those clothes."

"Yes. You can only bring electromagnetic blade knives and magic stones at most. Are you OK?"

""No problem""

"It's not really an operation, but it's going to have to be done on a case-by-case basis. Both of you simulate based on this information. First of all, The operation is abandoned immediately, so I'm going to do that because I'm thinking of another hand. "

""Confirmed""

After the extraordinary meeting, they left the room. Tomorrow, I was preparing materials to explain the strategy to everyone, and this day I took a break early.

The next morning, we gathered everyone in the cafeteria and decided to outline the strategy.

"This is the route of entry into the dungeon."

Elna stared into the paper sketches of the castle.

"There are at least six guards around the dungeon, and we need to clear them up by three people."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with Serena and Sharon."

"Alan, what can we do?"

"In the worst case of a failed operation, the three will escape the castle, kicking the guards out, and wait near the castle's gates to avoid unnaturalness. If the rescue goes well, the rescuers will be taken directly to the Gantz's home, and a small group of satellites will be guarded invisibly. Start preparing for today's battle and preparing your escape team if you succeed. ''

"" Hatsu ""

After this, Deputy Dalsim and the leaders discussed the details of the operation, and everyone was scattered in preparation.

To be clear, this strategy is random. Everything depends on the actions of the three members of the rescue team. I'm thinking about when the operation failed.

Elna, Serena, and Sharon changed into clothes, such as long apron dresses that resembled women's clothes. Apparently he decided to practice in close-to-production clothing.

"Then, Alain. Please keep practicing today."

"Okay, so let's try knife-based close-up martial arts today. I'll play the role of a swordsman."

I moved to the inn's courtyard and grabbed the wooden sword I had left.

"Can you beat the sword with a knife?"

"Depending on what you do, you can win enough. Sharon."

When I set up the wooden sword, Sharon pulled out the electromagnetic blade knife, attached the knife to the forearm, and took a unique position of a low-later paratrooper. It's a knife martial art that's a bit different from imperial martial arts, but Sharon's skill is substantial given his attitude.

I tried two or three hits for a trial, but Sharon avoided everything in a single piece of paper. In the next pass, Sharon flashed his knife, cut off the wooden sword and stepped on it quickly, was able to reach his wrist, and was immediately hit by the knife on his neck. The same pattern of swordplay is mortal to Sharon who has a knife. The only way to deal with this would be to constantly perform different tricks and keep them away.

"Awesome! I see, can you beat this sword with this blade knife? I like it. Sharon, please. Tell me how to do it."

"of course"

While preparing for the rescue operation, the day of the medal ceremony has finally arrived. Erna's skill has surprisingly improved, and in a mock battle with clan members, her opponent was easily neutralized. We made every possible plan for the operation and did everything we could to do it. Serena and Sharon will accompany me, so Dulsim will take command of all the clans.

"I look great, Alan."

"I see. Well, it's definitely good."

The custom-made clothes were the perfect size, unlike the ready-made ones, and they also had an imperial taste.

"... Alan, be careful."

"I know. I'll show you help. I'll go. Dalsim, ask everyone."

"I understand. Please leave it."

The carriage with me, Elna, Sharon and Serena started running towards the castle.
