The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

72. Death Knight feels incomprehensible and unpleasant.

72.

“Pirates?”

Zerpied slightly frowned at Frigit’s words. Ecilia also pricked up her ears and paid attention to his words. Neither had ever seen a pirate before. Ecilia was of course, and so was Zerfied.

When he moved from continent to continent in the past, he got help from contractors or walked under the sea. And there is no place for pirates in a war for the life and death of the world.

Frigit said with a protracted yawn.

“Yes, pirate.”

“Is this where pirates usually haunt?”

“What do you mean? Every sea has pirates, right? Why? Have you ever seen your pirates?”

The next moment, the frigate froze in his yawning posture. Because they nodded. Seeing him, she thought that even though they had only just met Esilia, she saw so many different expressions in him. It seemed very strange.

“…… When crossing continents, no matter how badly you encounter them, they are pirates… Where the hell did you guys come from?”

“From the Dales, I arrived at Ejardo.”

“Then why can’t we meet? If you had started from the Dales, wouldn’t you have gone up to Ehardo with the Eastern Continent on your side?”

“…… Yes?”

The Death Knight and her saint only then noticed that something wasn’t right. When they crossed the sea from the Central Continent, they couldn’t find any fragments of the Eastern Continent. The first time I saw the Eastern Continent was when I reached Ehard.

As the Death Knight and the saint exchanged meaningful glances with each other, Frigate also knew that the situation was going differently than he thought. Prigit asked in an inexplicable voice mixed with bewilderment and seriousness.

“…… You guys didn’t come up from the eastern continent…… ?”

Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Frigate almost chewed the spout of the glass bottle he was drinking from with his teeth. The fact that it did not come up along the eastern continent means that it came across the middle of the sea between the continents.

Of course, the distance is shorter than sailing along the continent, so it saves much more time. But it’s pretty obvious why it’s not the default way. That’s right…….

“You mean you came across a place infested with sea monsters now?”

Frigit put the bottle he was holding down on the deck with an expression of boredom. It was an act unbecoming a sailor. The Death Knight and the saintess looked at the frigate without saying anything. Of course, the silence meant affirmation. Freight suddenly seemed to have lost all thoughts of drinking.

“No, that makes sense? Did you blow away the head of the sea monster with a cannon shot?”

“I did.”

“Uh…… I did….”

Frigit finally realized. These two passengers are making fun of themselves for using them as a means of transporting kegs. Very poor teasing, he thought.

The content of catching a sea monster with a single shot of a cannon in front of a sailor, nothing else. If we go further, he thought, we might even find out that he drove a galleon that required dozens of men by himself, without a crew member.

He quickly changed the subject of this nonsense, expressing his apologies for the grumpiness he had caused, when his plan to get a share of the money by selling alcohol tomorrow was canceled because of them.

“Wow… That’s a great story. Food is indispensable for such a great story. Clergy lady. Could you give me the box behind the lady?”

Escelia turned her body and looked behind herself. A wooden box caught her eye. She gently picked up her box and set it down in the middle of the three. Frigitt pointed at it with her chin. It meant to open it. As soon as the saintess opened the box, the sweet scent immediately stimulated her nose. Fruit flavor. She involuntarily swallowed her saliva. It was a bonus to make her eyes shine.

“We haven’t even had dinner yet, so let’s go. It’s past evening, too.”

Said Freygit, taking a peeled mango from her box. He thought he saw something wrong. Otherwise, there is no way that priestess would pick up two fruits at the same time when he was picking up one fruit. Even with both cheeks already filled with fruit.

“Umm?! Ooh-! Umm!!”

Watching the saintess diligently gesticulating and expressing her appreciation for the taste in difficult-to-understand language – doubtful whether it was a human language -, the priest saw that what they had just said was a very polite protest that occurred because she had not served dinner. I thought. And, looking at the saintess, he couldn’t understand how much she had starved for food and had such an ecstatic expression on her face.

Those thoughts were of great help to all three of them. If Freight had been told that he had barely eaten one meal, he would have passed out in surprise. The Death Knight and the saint could not lose the captain of the ship.

By the time Freigit was absorbed in that thought, Esilia had already eaten the fruit from both cheeks and from her hands, and was eyeing the rest. Zerpied, who was staring at the saintess, thought it was the eyes of a seasoned hunter. The saintess, who carefully inspected her prey, snatched one of her fruits.

“Wow! Cellar!”

Snorting her satisfied snort, she took a bite of the banana and Celia closed her eyes and savored the taste. After devouring the long banana in three bites and looking for another game, she found the frigate, who had only eaten half of the mango.

Realizing that she had acted as if she had forgotten all the table manners Miss Belle Luke had taught her, Acelia blushed. She then withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened. Looking at Ecilia, Zerpied said.

“Gemini.”

“Uh, yes?”

Instead of answering him, Zer Pied tapped the side of his lips with his index finger. The saintess, seeing her action, tilted her head and groped the side of her own lips.

And when she found a piece of banana pulp on the part of her face she was groping for, she blushed even more than before. Steam seemed to rise from her face. Because I showed such an embarrassing side to none other than the knight!

Before the saintess, it was a matter of dignity as a woman. She was a saint, she looked like she would burst into tears any second.

The Death Knight next to her saintess didn’t miss the sight of her crying. But the problem was that she thought of the cause of her crying a little differently. Death Knight thought that Esilia was crying because she ran out of bananas. He rummaged through her wooden crate and pulled out a banana that was buried deep inside and held it out to Ecelia.

She suddenly looked at the banana held out to her, but the saintess carefully accepted it. I don’t know why, but the driver gave it to me anyway. As she agonized over why she gave her the banana, she didn’t know that she was unconsciously eating the banana. And as the sweet flesh of the banana touched the tip of her tongue, her worries flew away and only sweetness filled her mind.

The saintess, who had finished her dinner satisfactorily, was able to relax more than ever before. That is, she concentrated on looking around her ship. But more than anything, she had something else that caught her attention. But she couldn’t help but look at it. Because it was rude

Frigit turned his head to the saintess who kept glancing at him and asked directly.

“Why do you care about my skin?”

“Oh, no… ! It’s not… !”

“Well, it’s not that easy to see an elf like me. Everyone will be stuck in the depths of the southern continent.”

“Yes? Then…… ?”

Frigit did not answer. He rummaged in his bosom, pulled out his pipe, lit it, and took a sip. After repeating the action a couple of times, he opened his mouth.

“Yes, I am from the southern continent.”

Celia had her eyes wide open. Zer Peed’s expression didn’t change either, but she was just as surprised. Even in his day, the elves of the southern continent were famous for their strong ostracism. My memory of seeing him get along with other races was vague.

“Southern… The southern continent?”

“That’s right, my people from my hometown don’t run around, so you won’t see a lot of skin like this.”

“But why…… ?”

At the saintess’ question, ‘Why are elves from the Southern Continent here and not even in the Southern Continent?’, The frigate laughed.

“Just. I guess I’m a bit of an oddity, I don’t want to stay stuck there. I want to see many things.”

Esilia seemed to understand Freight’s feelings. Because she herself did too. Even though she was in the position of a saint, when she saw the plaza where people were playing in the cathedral, she couldn’t help but want to get out of there. She felt a strong affinity for the saintess, and she stared blankly at him.

“So I ran out. Despite the opposition of everyone around me. But what would a bastard who has only stepped on his hometown his whole life know? Somehow I came to the eastern continent, but I have to have the skills to survive. Naturally, I wandered around her back alleys.

But the back alley wasn’t easy either. It was fucking hard to earn a living every day. That’s how I met Voltlee when I thought I was starving like this.”

“If Mr. Voltrey saved his life then…… ?”

“Oh, that time. The taste of the barley bread you eat when you’re searching for everything is dead. Anyway. Still, I jumped out with enthusiasm, but shouldn’t I have to go back with success?

The only thing I know how to do is boating, which I roughly learned while crossing the sea. So I was making some money selling alcohol, but you guys came when I was going to take care of it tomorrow.”

Frigitt laughed loudly, finished his pipe and tossed the bottle away in one gulp.

“What happened? After arriving in the southern continent, you should start selling all the alcohol. Even so, they say he is a lifesaver, but I can’t help but take him…… Ok?”

Freiggit paused his words and stared blankly in front of him. Zer Pied also turned his head and looked where he was looking. Eccilia sat neatly, nodding her head.

Zerpied looked at the sky once. He was dark It was late at night, close to dawn. It was not unreasonable at the time that her saintess fell into her sleep. The Death Knight made Eccilia lean against herself with her cautious movements.

Seeing this, the frigate raised his body and grabbed the wheel. It was early in the morning, so it was time to start. As he expected, the ship slowly began to move through the dark sea. The frigate opened his mouth as he turned around and maneuvered the boat deftly with one hand.

“Come to think of it, what is your relationship with you guys?”

“Hmm?”

“No, I’ve heard that lady is a priest, but other than that, I don’t think I’ve heard anything about you guys. Shouldn’t you at least know about the guests on board? Besides, you guys are also friends with Voltri.

And to be honest, I’m with someone who looks like you and a pretty girl like that, of course I’m curious… Oh fuck! Hey hey! What’s the matter?! No, did I say something wrong? That girl is pretty, right!”

“…… Why?”

Jerpied, who asked why, was surprised to find that his voice was hoarse. Frigate hurriedly replied.

“No, why? You were pretending to kill me until just now?!”

It was only then that the Death Knight realized that he was poised to attack at any moment. And he knew that a very grotesque feeling ran through him. It was hard to explain what it felt like, but it was clear that it was a very unpleasant feeling. Jer Fied tried to calm himself down, trying to calm his voice.

“…… Just a knight. Gemini is the lady I serve.”

“Aha? Just a knight Is that lady just a lady?”

At Prigit’s words, the Death Knight blinked once. It was a sign of doubt. Because Frigate was laughing. The Death Knight couldn’t understand at all what made her laugh at her own words.

“Frigit-kun, what’s so funny?”

“Ah, just, just. Being a ‘just’ knight and being a ‘just’ lady really suits me.”

“…… Do you look good?”

“Because it looks like it just by looking at it. Oh, right. Just in case, I have a fiancé in my hometown. So don’t worry.”

It was difficult for Zerfied to understand why Freight suddenly brought up the story of his fiancé. And another fact. He said the questions that popped into his head.

“…… You mean you left your hometown when you have a fiancée?”

Asking that, Zerpied found his voice surprisingly calm. Before he knew it, the unpleasant feeling crawling through him had disappeared. Before Zer Pied could even think about it properly, Frey Gitte opened his mouth. As if embarrassed, he was scratching the back of his head.

“…… My fiancée is such an outstanding person in her hometown. She said I had nothing to do. So why did she want to be in her hometown? Pretty much everything is done by my fiancée. How to say, she seems useless, and even if she wanted to do something for her fiancée, she couldn’t seem to do half of what her fiancée would do… ….”

“That’s why he was making money.”

Frigit giggled. His face was a little red, perhaps because he was slightly drunk. He shut his mouth for a moment. He could only hear the sound of the boat with the same name as him making its way through the night sea.

“…… Ha, I got caught.”

“By the way, have you saved enough money to do boat work and even sell liquor? Why are you trying to make more money?”

“Ah, that is… ….”

Freygit opened his mouth with a wide smile. But Zerfied couldn’t hear that answer.

-Chaeeng – !

The sound of a sharp hook on the ship’s surface broke the calm night sea.
