Kuro no Senki

Late December 433 of the Imperial Calendar - Leonhardt was enjoying incense tea at the Mansion.

The smell of ginger irritates the nasal cavity.

Though the consideration is to keep your body cool, it is warm enough to stay in the mansion with thin long sleeves.

I doubt I need to be considerate.

"... are you here"

The sound of dota-dota approaches.

There is only one person in this mansion who walks in such an unproductive way.

"A big man doesn't even work, so just drink incense tea! If you're lazy, your eyes will crumble!

Leela's voice echoed, and Leonhardt clapped his shoulders.

She stood next to her in a footsteps called Dotadota.

"For once, this is my job too."

"Work is sweaty."

Leonhardt glanced lightly at his shoulder.

For Leela from poor farmers, work seems to be sweating and working.

"It's not just incense tea."

"I know that."

"No, I don't understand."

Leela put her hand on her hips and shook her head in a big bang.

"You know what the Empire's like right now?

"Did you hear that security was restored?

"We're talking months ago. Well, shit. I used to feel safer. But now it's back to normal... no, it's worse than before."

"In what way?

"It's not like they're working in the wild, but they're walking around dressed in dirty clothes, and the store's got a bad assortment, and officials are awesome."

Are you saying that the number of vagrants has increased, distribution has lagged and the quality of officials has declined?

"I heard you purified the slam?

"Purification? That's just a killer. It's nothing more or less. No, just trying to decorate words and delude guilt isn't good quality."

Leela said to roll it up.

Sure, she's right.

Murder is murder, and betrayal is betrayal.

We should not delude ourselves.

"I heard the slam is gone?

"You're just like Inago, and you're determined to come back even if you chase him away. For wisdom's sake, the quality is worse than that of Inago."

"... I see"

Leonhardt leaned against his back.

We're already in the country. We're going home.

"I'm afraid I won't be home for a while."

"If Master Leonhardt returns, we can go home. Damn, I got some free time, so I wish I could just go home."

Leela swells her cheeks dissatisfied.

"Do you miss the country so much?

"I miss you so much."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes."

Leela snorted roughly, too, but Leonhardt doesn't understand.

I know what it's like to miss your hometown.

I know...

"I don't think I had enough good memories to fall in love with."

"Well, Ola and I had a hard time living."

Hmm, and Leonhardt nods.

He was so distressed that he offered his daughter instead of taxes.

I don't understand the sensibilities that make it painful.

"But it didn't just hurt."

"... ho"

Raise your voice low.

That's all.

Honestly, I don't know how to react.

"For example... For example, what happened?

"So, what can I do for you?

It's going to take a long time, so I'll cut the story off.

I'm interested in what memories you have, but if I dated Leela, the sun would go down.

"Oh, I did! I got a letter from your palace."

Leela gives the letter unconstitutionally.

Sometimes it is said that other servants may not be alert, but they can be trusted more than those who turn their wits poorly.

Leonhardt grabs the letter, but Leela doesn't try to let go.

I'm laughing at Nico.

"Thanks"

Thank you so much.

Leela laughs in the light.

I feel like I've been forced to thank you, but it's cute because it satisfies me to this extent.

Leonhardt untied the string and spread the letter.

Follow the text written there with your eyes and sigh small.

"Oh, my God, did it say that?

"They said the same thing about Leela."

"Boulder, lord. After all, it's wrong for a big man to dazzle from day to day."

Leela put her arms together and nodded satisfactorily.

Not so simple, but Leonhardt returns it in his heart.

This is a reply to a letter I sent right after I was told to be discreet.

"Can you get me some writing equipment from my room?

"Okay."

That said, Leela started walking in the footsteps of Dotadota.

Walking unproductive, but I don't hate it.

"... not at all"

Leonhardt poked his cheek wand.

Reminds me of the contents of the letter and exhales in a small way.

You worry about yourself.

That was the answer to the advice that we should distance ourselves from Alfort.

The Lord and the Son must put the interests of the clan first.

That's what my father taught me.

I'd like to believe I don't imitate stupid, but I can't wipe my anxiety away.

He has not been thorough in his teaching.

It basically gives priority to the interests of the clan, but is often flushed by emotion and blinded by greed.

As a result, my father has caused slight damage to the House of the Duke of Palatium.

Perhaps the person - even the servant must not consider it harmful.

So I don't learn.

Repeat the same mistake.

"... Well, he would"

Around the time when regional aristocrats found out they were cowing the empire and were driven by righteousness?

Or is it a good time when you're giving instructions to your child's men?

There is also no zero chance that Princess Tilia will find out that she has enlisted and is thinking about how to shake herself.

"I'd appreciate it if you stayed put until the trend was revealed."

Empress Tilia or Alfort - figure out which one wins and decide how to shake yourself.

Think about that and mock yourself for your guessness.

The world is full of irony because a man like this is called the 'Holy Knight' and so on.

A true 'holy knight' would have fought for his friends.

"... is betrayal a betrayal even if you adorn the words"

The noise of dotadota sounds like scratching off the whine.

"Master Leonhardt, I brought it."

"Thanks"

Leela stripped out her missing teeth and laughed, placing her writing equipment on the table - a feather pen and an ink kettle.

Well, and Leonhardt took the feather pen...

"Dear Leonhardt,"

"What is it?

Leela calls me by my name to stop my hand.

"You can't write too bad about your house, can you?

"Why not?

"Ola only has a brother..."

"... Hmm"

Place the feather pen on the table.

"When my younger brother notices me, my older brother gets grumpy."

"Did they even tell you about the misunderstanding?

"Yeah, Ora, you looked like you had some serious attention."

"Then why?

"I'm angry when my brother tells me what happened."

"That's unreasonable, that's"

"That's what the world is like"

Leela said often in her face and shut up.

I'm looking at this one like I said something.

"Don't you see?

"I'm not that stupid. Is Leela trying to tell me to stop whispering to your father?

"You don't understand one thing right now."

Leela sighed deeply.

"I'm telling you to pick a word."

"I'd like you to pick a word, too, wouldn't you?

"Stop the fried feet."

I don't feel fake, but Leela frowned like a muck.

"Besides, the Olas don't have to shy away from family."

"It's a long time since you had a distorted family."

The sarcasm leaks when I stick around.

"Well, I don't care where it is"

"What does it matter?

"The important thing is now."

"No, a creature called a woman."

Really succeed.

No, is Leela special?

Either way, there's a difference between the amazing figure and the thickness.

"Leonhardt may look like a fool to the people around him, but he has feelings."

"I mean, do you want me to decorate the words?

"That's what I'm talking about"

Uh, and Leela strained her chest.

"I wonder why. Do you remember hearing the opposite earlier?

"It depends on the time and the circumstances. Master Leonhardt is a fool to go around."

"Damn, my ear hurts"

Leonhardt flaunted his shoulder but felt it was his best opinion.

I have never had the approach of euphemistically speaking.

"Well, what kind of text should it be"

Leonhardt put his legs together and began to work out the draft.

Chrono climbs the stairs of the command deck, making sure he's underfoot.

The Dwarf craftsman built the platform.

Quality comes with origami.

It must support Minotaurs and even Lizardman's weight without difficulty.

Nevertheless, I felt unreliable as I was walking on a thin plate.

Because of the tension.

As I looked up in the middle of the stairs, people's appearances jumped into view.

As far as I can see, people, people, people.

I wouldn't have gotten so nervous if it was just my own men.

But here - my men are not the only ones in the outing venue.

Old knights, prostitutes, mercenaries of tribal coalitions, Kingsguard knights, regular soldiers gathered from the five territories, pedestrians in charge of the barracks, women doing cooking laundry, etc. - that number is roughly 14,000.

Including the spectator, the person would swell up more than double.

That's all people are paying attention to Chrono's every step of the way.

Nervous and natural.

My head is about to turn bright white, but I take a deep breath repeatedly to regain my calm.

I don't know why my head didn't turn completely white.

Thanks to the many times I've gotten over the training ground.

Or because you've gained experience standing over people?

Or the glory of not wanting to look silly.

Krono laughs bitterly that we can all talk normally.

I think Brad, Tina, Baron Trace, Baron Mesartim and Baron Bosain were talking normally.

No, and Chrono deepened his grin when he remembered Baron Trace.

I don't know what to say, he overdid it.

He scratched a sweat, spit, gestured and complained of Alfort's outrage and praised Tilia.

It was like a suspicious religion or a street sales sakura.

Does it look decent compared to Baron Trace, Krono climbs the stairs and stands in the center of the dock.

That's Mike and Mike Stand right there.

Mike is Eryl, but the microphone stand was made by a Dwarf artisan.

Chrono took the manuscript out of his pocket and tried to open it, which was folding.

That's when the wind blew.

The wind is so intense that dust strikes.

The manuscript gets caught in the wind.

When Chrono looked up, he was shuddering so that he could laugh or even the spectator could laugh.

"Oh, my God. The wind is blowing me away."

Some generals erupted out of their misery.

Plus...

"I'm super awkward about the wind flying me!

"Boulder, Master Chrono! A man who does not betray expectations!

I heard Aridead and Deneb.

Remember, I swear vengeance in my heart.

"Well, someone else told me what I wanted to say, and I wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. You all want us to get this over with, don't you?

As Chrono clasped his shoulders, the generals laughed more and more.

It is a lie.

I was thinking of speeches unbeatable to other lords for this day.

"There's not so much I want to say. First of all, I will not tolerate looting or rape. The Chamber of Commerce and the Union of Merchants are working together to make sure there's no need for looting, and not to rape... well, whores are working with me on what I say."

The general laughs more and more.

Most of the time, I see women dressed in fancy costumes.

"The next thing you know, it's obvious, it's about taking care of your life. I hope you don't give up living under any circumstances."

Chrono spinned his words as he remembered his parental enlistment.

I lost a lot of my men to parental enlistment.

I don't think I can survive if I have a strong will.

No matter how strong you are willing, no matter how noble your ideals are, when you die, you die.

On the other hand, I think a strong will can connect lives.

"The battlefield is merciless. I can't throw up that I can survive if I don't give up. But sometimes if you give up, it ends there."

Chrono clenched his neckline.

The first time I remembered was when I was taking the streets to return to the Parent Conscription - the Empire.

Many died from worsening wounds, but many died from shriveling temper.

The next thing I know, I remember the trials of death.

Wasn't it because I was strongly willing to stay sane in that intense pain?

"So I hope you don't give up until the end of the day"

Chrono stared at the generals.

In this battle - a large number of people will die for the ideals set forth by the Chronos.

Hopefully.

I wanted to take more time and accomplish my ideals without making sacrifices.

I didn't want to use the ideal as a tool.

But now.

There is no turning back.

Many generals will die in this battle.

If sacrifice is inevitable, we must build something worthy of it.

"... that's all I'm trying to say. Let's all go home alive."

Chrono turned his heel back and went down from the platform.

Tilia stood down the platform.

He wears the same white military uniform as usual.

That was a brilliant speech.

"For the adrift?

"Well, yeah"

Tilia smiles bitterly.

"I just wanted to keep the place a little warmer."

"No, that's enough"

I'll take care of the rest.

"Of course."

I wanted to make a high-touch decision, but I rubbed it off.

Tilia stopped in front of the command platform and slowly went up the stairs.

Stop in the middle of the dock...

"Gentlemen, the time is ripe!

I raised my voice.

The sound of zah sounds.

Tyria's words were heard, and the generals set their posture in unison.

"The alliance is tight and our army is highly skilled! Nor do we have to worry about the shortage of supplies through the cooperation of our subjects worrying about the future!

Ooh, and the generals whisper.

Regardless of the soldier, the 100-man captain class should have information, but hearing it from Tilia's mouth seems to mean something different.

"The new nobles on the southern border resonated with our ideals, and the nobles ruling the territory on the march route promised us their cooperation, with the exception of Baron Bowties! Only the false emperor Alfort and the bad guys who fatten their private bellies are holding us back!

That's a boulder, Krono stared at Tilia.

Tilia's words contain lies - things that are not true.

The nobles who rule the territory on the march route have not promised to cooperate.

If I insist, neutral - I just promised not to stand in the way of the march.

Informally, too.

If it comes down to something like the defeat of the Imperial Army, it is likely to reverse the promise.

"Now is the time to abolish the false emperor and fulfill our ideals!

Ooh! And the generals roared.

The atmosphere shivers and my body gets hot.

I want to give myself up to the urge even if I know I have to stay calm.

It was Tilia like no other who showered cold water into that feeling.

"But! But heh!

The place turns and quiets down.

"We must fight the right battle. plunder, murder, rape, etc. … no barbarism shall be committed. If we commit barbarism, our ideals will be dirty and we will mark our names in history as usurpers"

Tilia spoke quietly.

"One soldier about this, no, everyone involved in this fight must understand. I want to believe that there will be no one out there who commits the barbarism, but I will punish him severely in case he commits the barbarism. Of course, I'm doing my utmost to make sure it doesn't. Well, I want you to remember Chrono's story about what you're doing."

The generals laughed more and more as Tilia bowed shyly.

When the laughter calmed down, Tilia looked up.

"Come on, let's start the fight"

"Where's the front carriage at 200 or 200? '(?

"Hey! We're short one!

"Come back alive, come back alive!

"So, who! You're the one who broke my leg!

"Oh, yeah, because I'm 300. So come and see me. Because I'll serve you."

"Hundred and Five, Hundred and Five."

"......" (sh ~)

"Hey! Don't draw customers. Come on!

The carriage yard set up near Sylvania was full of people.

Less than seven thousand people participate in the southward march.

The number of front carriages is close to 700.

Anticipating the confusion, I conducted a prediction exercise, and that's when it went well -.

"I guess I should have dispersed the station"

"Right."

When Chrono blurred, Tilia nodded.

"... lost?

"There's no reason to get lost."

Tilia frowned like a muck, pointing behind her with her thumb.

A four-headed boxcarriage remained quite a distance away.

The boxcarriage prepared for this day also boasts a bright blue performance for campers.

Around it were the old knights.

Those who are chosen as offerings and those who are not are saying goodbye.

"Even so, Grandpa... you're leaning."

"Shut him up. It could be their last sunny stage."

No one wears sheet metal armor on a boulder, but he wears a hat so flashy, or weaves something like a formation feather.

"Protect the Empress Tilia for Manchausen, Alonso and Non!

"Of course not!

"Your lords are well. We look forward to seeing you again in Emperor Kai's direct jurisdiction!

That's what I said, the three of them hugged each other.

Not if I say it's just the three of us thriving.

"Don't rush to death. Protect the Empress Tilia."

"I know. But what if..."

"Oh, I'll see you in the afterlife"

The sight of the old knights gushing their faces with tears and snot like this, and whoa and crying is unfolding everywhere.

A man in a white uniform while avoiding those old knights - Brad approached.

For some reason, Cecily's with me.

"Lord Chrono!

"Lord Brad!

"You can call me stepbrother."

Brad smiled tenderly.

The grin freezes my spine.

"My sister told me."

"Oh, that's..."

As Chrono turned his gaze, Cecily turned away.

What are we gonna do? and Tilia poked small with her elbow.

Oh, my God, at the right time.

Chrono retreated with Jirijiri, saying that this was the only place to sit in the ground.

"I'm relieved you seem to be doing well."

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly stares at Brad.

But he has a grin that doesn't seem to be on his back.

"Cecily?"

"I honestly told you how disgraceful you have been! To say it is, but to say it is... uuuuuuuu!

Cecily bit her lower lip.

"I don't know what to say at this time"

"I'm not telling you now. When should I tell you?

"At least wait till the battle is over."

She's a hell of a woman to imitate a crack in an alliance.

When this battle is over, I will punish you.

"You're close."

"Does that look like it to you?

"Oh, it looks like you're looking at my father and my mother. Well, unfortunately my father didn't have as much talent as Lord Chrono..."

Tilia had the look on her face just saying she saw something incredible.

"Talent, talent... yeah, well, that's good"

"Empress Tilia!

Cecily raised her screaming voice.

"Well, we'll go first. Next in Imperial Capital..."

Good luck.

"Do me a favor."

Brad saluted and Chrono and Tilia gave back.

The role of the Fifth Kingsguard Knights is to soften and disturb the rear of the crowd - to overload distribution.

I wish I could poke the back of the Imperial Army, but this would be too greedy.

"Come on, let's go"

"Brother! Your brother is mistaken!

Brad pulled Cecily away.

Brother! The voice became deafening after a while.

Slightly late...

"Cecily! Cecily!

Verna came.

"Master Chrono, have you seen Cecily?

"They took me that way."

"It may be a lifetime's farewell, but he's cold."

Chip, and Verna tongued adorably.

"We might still make it, huh?

"Oh, I'm gonna go."

"Don't be late again"

Verna disappeared into the crowd and Tilia groaned bossly.

"Master Chrono!

"Oops!

Krono took Snow.

"Are you lost?

"No, I'm not! I'm here to say hello!

Snow raised his face and swelled his cheeks dissatisfied.

"I'll see you anytime."

"How far do you think Me and Master Chrono's carriage are?

"Right."

Chrono's carriage leads the way, Snow's carriage... it must have been a hundred.

"Besides, I'm not a child, and I know you won't be able to see Master Chrono."

Say it again.

I'm not even a kid.

"Ooh."

Tilia grabbed her shoulder as Chrono was trembling in emotion.

"When the battle is over, admit him to the hospital."

"Why?"

"You could be sick."

"That's not true."

"Then you're forcibly hospitalized."

"Well, we'll see to it."

"Us?

You guessed something, Tilia narrowed her eyes.

"Snow, Drain, Drive, No"

"... the three of us should act because it's the same carriage"

Sue and Lizardman, carrying a large backpack, walk over to Snow.

"What about Eryl?

"... on my back" (shu ~)

When Lizardman turned his back, Eryl was on something like a backpacker.

"You're gonna get fat again?

"... no problem. Maintains proper weight."

It was in a pale tone, but my eyes are swimming a little.

Maybe he gained a little weight again.

"How could you, on your back?

"... I have successfully lost weight but my mobility is not high. So I'm getting Lizardman's drago to make it up to me."

Eryl swelled her little nose good at it.

"Are you okay?"

"... no problem" (shu ~)

Lizardman - Drago said as he let Tyrothiro and his tongue in and out.

"... he's silent, but we're in good communication"

"Really? I hope so."

I get worried that Lizardman likes to be silent for the good.

'... it's okay. Eryl, protect' (shu ~)

"I asked for it."

Drago nodded firmly and walked out.

Snow and Sue continue.

"Dear Chrono, see you later!

"Mata"

……

The three wave, and so does Chrono.

"You too..."

"Master Chrono!

"... half-elf"

Leila blocked the words, and Tilia flaunted her face.

"Are you going now?

"Yes, I..."

"We're like the advance party!

"It's been a long time since I've been back to being a bow cavalry!

Aridead and Deneb hugged Chrono from left to right.

That's quite a shock.

……

"... Phew."

Layla frowned slightly, and Tilia grinned all the time saying she was feeling good.

"What about Kane?

"It's like I'm getting ready a little further away!

"He said it was a bad bat because he came out dressed!

"Well, I guess so."

He came back ready to leave Sylvania.

Let's have a bad bump on the boulder.

"What about Faye?

"I'm already on the horse."

"It's an opportunity, it's an opportunity, it's an opportunity, it's super scary"

"Opportunity."

Personally, I don't want things to be like an advance team being active.

As Chrono turned his gaze, Leila nodded as if she'd let it be.

"... Dear Chrono. See you later."

"Be careful."

"Yes!"

Leila nodded forcefully and turned her heel back.

"Master Chrono, what do we have?

"It's like you want a hot mouthful!

"Remember when this fight is over, motherfucker."

"Ko, this is like a confession of love!

"No, and! This is a preaching teaser!

Aridead crooked, but Deneb seems to understand correctly.

"I'm fine! Master Chrono doesn't imitate what he preaches after the battle!

"Maybe so! Master Chrono is a sweet man!

"Really?

"And I do, and I believe you!

"And it's important to believe it!

As Tilia leaned her neck, Aridead and Deneb said in a wolfed manner.

I didn't know you'd find it hard to believe in just one word -.

"Both of you, just go."

"It's a merciless word!

"Maybe, like a helpship?

"Could it be a mud ship?

"No body!"

"But this place should run away!

Tilia laughed niggardly and Aridead and Deneb escaped.

"Aridead! Deneb!"

"I just escaped, and you're stopping. Us!

"But you like yourself like that!

When Chrono spoke, Aridead and Deneb stopped.

Smile at those two.

"Be careful, both of you."

"Ho, I'm anxious to smile!

"I'm not giving up until the end!

That said, Aridead and Deneb ran out.

"Well, I guess I'll go too."

"If you say so, they won't come to Marquis Mansion."

'Cause I said hello to everyone.

Hmm, and Chrono laughed.

It was a very passionate greeting.

"You're talking to me, you're talking to other women."

"Master Chrono, you were here."

"... Guru"

The general walked over to Chrono and Tilia skewed her face.

By the way, the general also joins as a cock.

"Something wrong?

"It's not like that. Well, what, you said you'd join the march, but I'm a cock. I'm here to say hello because I'm not free to see you."

"I think I'll see you soon."

"I hope so."

That said, the general smiled bitterly.

"... a battle with the Empire. You've grown up to be a worldless boy."

"I've grown up to bite a damsel."

"That's not what you're saying. The Empress Tilia is scared to death."

Looking next door, Tilia was laughing.

But my eyes aren't laughing.

"That's what I'm doing. I'm going to my carriage."

"I think it's okay, but be careful"

"Not as dangerous as Master Chrono."

The general waved a hiccup and walked away from the spot.

"Right. Not as dangerous as you."

I'm in danger with Hishihishi right now.

"That's a great hazard detection capability. Well, even if it's detectable, it doesn't mean it can handle it."

"Murder herald!

"Don't worry, I'll keep you alive until you have a child"

Tilia laughs niggly and suddenly gets a serious look.

"Chrono, be careful."

"You too."

Laugh from either side and head to your own carriage.

"... I knew we should have split the landing strip"

Chrono heads to his carriage looking at the generals on the side.

Shilo and Hyiro had spared their farewell to the children, beginning with Alisne, and Tyga to the Tiger Beast Man.

Admiral, this way! '(Bubba!

"Okay!

The deputy exclaimed from the front carriage, and Chrono stepped up his pace.

Are you lost? '(Bubba?

"There's a lot going on."

Chrono rides the front carriage with the help of his deputy.

"Mr. Minot finished breaking up with his family?

"It's hard to say how touching it is to say goodbye."

The deputy stripped out his teeth and laughed, and Chrono advanced to the back.

"Good luck"

"I won't be tired anymore. Oh, no, no, no. We're not going to fight."

Theon bowed his head as he sat in his seat, and the clergyman shook his head.

By the way, there's an empty bottle of booze rolling under the priest's feet.

Chrono sighed small.

When I think the cleric is one of the trump cards, anxiety builds up.
