Thank you for reading.

This is the 19th episode. Thank you.

After parting from Pajo and returning to the inn, Hifumi bought some before going on a trip. After dinner, I was learning letters from Olga using the magical tools of the light. As a habit since I came to this city, I’ve been studying for the past few days, so I’ve finished all the basic letters and how to read them.

By the way, the magic tool of the light is quite good price, but if it is better than the candle, I buy it as much as it is in the store. I bought a total of 5 pieces, and when I stayed at the inn, I gave them to Olga and Kasha one by one.

Ask them to write the letters, listen to the pronunciation, and write the reading in Japanese next to them. After that, I read aloud while writing letters endle ly and hit it in my head repeatedly.

It’s not cheap, but it’s a study method that uses a lot of parchment, but if repeating is the shortest way, Hifumi bought tools without paying attention to gold.

“My husband, are you up to this point today?”

“Well, that’s all the letters I understand how to read it.The rest is words and grammar. Thank you for your continued support. “

” Please leave it to me. If your husband remembers it quickly, it won’t take long. I think. “

During that time, Kasha was working hard to maintain her weapons, and felt a little lonely as the two became more and more intimate. Should I go a little further and go out with Hifumi? That kind of thing comes to mind, but I don’t want to get in the way of Olga.

While thinking about that, Kasha stood up in front of Kasha, who was checking for scratches on her sword.

“I’ve pushed all the troubles to Pajo, so I’m going to Vichy tomorrow. I’m going by carriage, so I’ll ask for a breakfast again.”

” I understand “

” I’m clever “

Nodded to their reply, Hifumi had breakfast. I told him to leave and went back to my room.

Olga saw off until the door was completely closed and took off his robe while heading to his bed. The appearance of only one piece of thin fabric on a body with thin lines is the usual appearance when Olga sleeps, but Kasha was looking at Bonyari and her appearance.

(The arms and legs are thin. After all, the impre ion is “girl”)

The feeling that the master is kind When I understand it, I sigh and look at my tight limbs.

I sighed again.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s early tomorrow, so let’s go to bed quickly. A trip with my husband So I’m sure it will be a noisy day again. “

Olga laughed and affirmed, then turned off the lights of the magic tool.

The next morning, Sabnak came out to see off the Hifumis at the gate of the city on the Vichy side.

A thin fog is coming out, softening the morning light.

Sabnak was pleased with the arrival of the reinforcements, but since all the knights who came in the reinforcements were seniors, although he was helped by the accompanying soldiers, the paperwork was completely reduced. There wasn’t. The dark circles under my eyes are getting darker.

A carriage and a riding man came from the inn.

“Good morning. What happened?”

“Send off. From here, if you go along the highway for two hours There is a border fort. There are soldiers on the Othonlande side and on the Vichy side, so please show your pa permit on both sides. “

” Okay, see you again.

When one hundred and twenty-three start to move forward, they slowly follow the carriage.

It disappears beyond the bonny and hazy road

From behind Sabnak, who was looking at the disappeared destination of Hifumi Pajo’s voice was heard.

“What about Mr. Hifumi?”

“I’m out of town now …. What happened?

“It’s a witch who seems to have come from Horland called Stra . I inspected the corpse, but except for the dagger in the example, there are no things that show my identity.” I didn’t have it. Just … “

It was said that there was something like a magic tool attached to the chest of the stra .

Looking at my body, I’m over 50 years old and I’m quite thin. It doesn’t look like you can do the movements you showed at the Marquis House or the things you heard from Hifumi. I don’t know the details, but Pajo speculated that it might be a type of body-strengthening magic tool that is embedded in the body.

“I will send the corpse to the royal capital today and send it for investigation.”

“Strengthen my body … No way. , Did you let Godeslas escape? “

” No, it’s impo ible considering the travel time. “

” That means … “

” Godeslas may have had the same tool, but he has undergone a physical examination and cannot bring it in. Using a similar magic tool Did you let Godesras escape, or did Godesras hand you over and use it yourself … In any case, it seems that you need to find someone in the royal capital. “

I had no choice but to hold my head to see if I could even get a clue to look for.

As I was running the carriage leisurely, the fog gradually cleared and I could see the fort at the end of the road.

I was wondering if one of the monsters would come out, but I was out of tune.

“Is that the border?”

There are no fences, and there is a two-story fort that blocks the road. Yes, there was only one big building on this side and on the other side.

According to Kasha’s explanation, it is not nece ary to partition with a fence because it is easy to be attacked by monsters when you leave the highway.

The fort on the highway is checking for departure and entry, and the buildings on both sides are said to be barracks packed with border guards from each country. .. It seems that both countries have a treaty to deploy 10 people each at the border.

When the fort was about to be seen, Hifumi felt a sense of discomfort.

“… It’s quiet. I don’t feel like there are 20 people.”

“What?”

“Try to get out of your weapon right away. It smells of blood.”

Kashas don’t know, but if one hundred or twenty- three say Trustworthy, Kasha and Olga quickly grabbed their fortune. This responsivene is the result of training.

Once the carriage is stored, the horse also gets off.

As I approached carefully, I saw several soldiers lying down in front of the fort.

The Hifumis do not run up, but approach carefully.

“This is …”

Kasha, who could see the situation clearly, bit her back teeth.

For inspection before and after cro ing the border, the tunnel-shaped pa age that goes under the fort is on the other side of the border line shown by the cobblestones. The soldiers have fallen. Some are seemingly intact, while others are clearly misaligned in the neck and limbs, but no one moves.

Some of them have been exposed to a miserable appearance with their limbs torn off.

“Is everyone dead …”

“No, I’m alive alone”

Then, Hifumi, who pa es through the corpses, cro es the border and crouches beside a fallen soldier.

“Hey, get up”

The young female soldier, who seems to be a Vichy soldier from the equipment, remains unresponsive while lying down. was. The red hair cut into very short is crumpled.

“Isn’t he dead after all, my husband?”

“No, this one is unharmed”

< p id = "L69"> While saying, Hifumi took the female soldier’s wrist and pre ed the acupoint on the thumb side wrist.

“It’s a dad !?”

The female soldier who jumped up in sudden severe pain started from Hifumi with tears. I took a distance.

It’s supple like a cat, but it doesn’t look good just by rubbing your wrist.

“Why did you get caught?”

“I can tell if I’m dead without looking”

“It’s not explained!”

“I don’t want to explain”

In response, the female soldier, who clenched her teeth, put her hand on her waist sword.

, but it was much faster for her sword to be struck by her gray left eye than for her to pull out her sword.

“I’m not going to ask any extra questions. Explain the situation. If it doesn’t help, I’ll kill you.”

“… I understand.”

She was Aly a, a Vichy inspector. It seems that there are a certain number of female soldiers at the border to deal with aristocratic women.

“It was just a while ago. A powerful man suddenly started rampaging, and all the soldiers here and the soldiers on the Othonlande side were killed. In a blink of an eye. It was. When I bumped into a thrown companion, I pretended to be dead, so I escaped the difficulty. “

Aly a speaks with a strangely cute voice for the soldier. , Hifumi looking expre ionle ly. Aly a pointed at him, who didn’t move his eyebrows when he heard that all the soldiers of Othon Grande were dead.

“My friend died, but I didn’t react.”

“I don’t care. Is it a man? “

At the point where Hifumi turned his gaze, there was a big man who fell down while holding a club with a muscular ridge.

“That’s right”

“Who killed?”

“I don’t know, I closed my eyes while lying down, but after I couldn’t hear everyone else’s voice, I heard someone approaching footsteps, he heard his screaming, and someone said, “I’m out of control.” Someone went and the footsteps were off. “

I didn’t see my face or appearance, Aly a said.

“Yes. Olga, Kasha. Come back to town with a horse and bringPajo.”

“Okay.

Aly a terrifies and calls out to Hifumi, who sees off the two running away.

“That’s about to let go of the sword …”

When I said, Hifumi put the sword in the scabbard. I put it back.

“Oh, thank you”

“If you have time to thank you, you should stay away”

“Fu?”

Ignoring Aly a’s neck and turning her back, Hifumi returned her sword and switched to a kusarigama. ..

“What …”

At the same time as Aly a muttered, feeling the air tingling. There was a figure that rushed to Hifumi from behind the fort and hit him.

Godeslas escaped from prison.

“I’ve become a lot creepy in a few days.”

Avoid your fists effortle ly and laugh at it. A few say.

Godeslas’s appearance is so dirty that he can’t think of him as a former knight, his tough body has abnormally swollen muscles, and his face is angry and painful while drooling. It was distorted with a dull expre ion.

I don’t have any weapons, and I’m clenching my fist so much that blood drips.

“Kill, Koros …”

“Did you lose your sanity? A boring guy”

While saying, he threw the weight of the kusarigama and caught Godesras’s arm, but he was pulled back by an abnormal force and easily let go of the kusarigama.

“Oh, stupid power. Strong, strong”

“Bu, weapons!”

Aly a’s cry can be heard from behind in Hifumi, who was carefree.

Against Godeslas, who was hit with his bare hands again, he was still bare hands.

I shook my fist protruding toward my face and shook my head, and launched my fleshle elbow with my fist.

It certainly felt like a pain, but Godeslas didn’t hesitate and hit me further.

“Isn’t there any pain?”

When I think about how to deal with the other person while keeping a distance in the steps, I naturally smile. Naru Hifumi.

When Godeslas saw it, he screamed louder and attacked violently.

One hundred and twenty-three broke the ribs at the bottom of both sides so that they could be pushed in with the palm of their hand. Godeslas couldn’t stop the attack by itself, but when he squeezed his broken ribs, his internal organs seemed to be damaged, blood spilled from his mouth, and his movement became visibly slow.

“Pain and fear are important sensors. The one who loses them is just boring”

In addition, Hifumi put his finger in his throat and crushed Godeslas’s throat. He thrust his finger into the eyes of the person who was unable to breathe and gasped, and pulled him down on his back and trampled his chest.

Godeslas trembled for a moment, but it stopped working forever.

“… Amazing”

Aly a couldn’t take her eyes off the fight of Hifumi .

Pajo and Sabnak arrived with Olga and others shortly after Godeslas died.

When I heard that it was very early, I was chased by a horse after receiving a report that a patrol soldier saw Godeslas pa ing by the city of Focalor and heading for the border. It seems that it was. Even so, I couldn’t catch up, and even if I ignored the highway and ran, it was a speed that was unhuman.

“This is … Sabnak, come back soon and bring half of the soldiers to emergency border guards, and contact the royal capital.”

“I understand”

With the support of Pajo, Sabnak immediately turned back.

When Hifumi briefly reported the situation, Pajo approached Godeslas’s corpse and examined its equipment and body.

“After all, Mr. Hifumi is a great skill … Even so, he looks so strange … This is!”

“> In Godeslas’s chest, which was stripped of his clothes, he found a magic tool that closely resembled what was in Stra ‘s chest. However, the shape is a little different from the one that Stra had attached. There was also a part that was crushed because one hundred and twenty-three trampled.

“Is that the reason it was wrong?”

“Probably so. It looks a lot like the corpse of Stra .” There was something that was there. “

” If so, that might be the case. “

One hundred and twenty-three pointed to earlier. The corpse of a big man who was killed by someone after rampaging in a fort.

While Pajo was looking at Godeslas’s corpse, one hundred and twenty-three were inspecting it. A magical tool that is closer to Godesras’s than the Strat’s is digging into its chest.

Furthermore, in front of everyone watching, I thrust my hand into the stab wound on the big man’s chest.

“Wow …”

Aly a screamed involuntarily , but keep an eye on it.

“What are you doing?”

Kasha, who has been terrifyingly calling out, wipes his hands with a big man’s clothes. One hundred twenty-three will answer.

“I have something to worry about. This wound has reached my heart. This is the cause of death. So,”

“> The eyes of Hifumi are facing Pajo.

“From the shape and depth of the wound, it’s a dagger that the wizard called Stra had. It looks like a knife of the same shape and size as that …”

Olga brought a wet cloth from a nearby well, and Hifumi wiped his hands firmly.

“And Aly a, this guy seems to be a member of that army.”

“Wow? Why …”

“The same guy on the handle of your sword is in his clothes. Is this a supply?”

“>” That means … “

” If you think about it simply, it means that the Holland guys are sneaking into both Othonlande and Vichy and doing something. ”

Aly a, who is only a graduate of Ippei, and even Pajo, a knight, couldn’t say anything about the conclusions made by Hifumi and the magnitude of the problems discovered.
