The girl with the fire wheel.

Lesson 33: Bless the winner, and the loser death.

Cynthia arrived near the city of Volvo, where Noel swept. Even from the outside, I can see that quite a bit of defense has been consolidated. There is a water borehole around the outer perimeter, and instead of the walls, the earthworms are piled to considerable heights. In this high and low difference, it is medium difficult to attack without preparation. Furthermore, it is built to keep an eye on each aspect. In just a few moments, a lonely city had turned into a fortress for combat. The flag of the two hammers will frustrate the will of those who seek to attack.

(After all, is Noel up for a thorough fight?)

Cynthia Squad slowly advances the soldiers. If you make it too hasty, you may be mistaken for an enemy and be attacked by archers. It appeared that he was spotted on the lookout, and the alarm bell rang. Immediately, Noel's soldiers will stand on the earthen sac and set their sights on this side with a bow.

"I am Cynthia, the thousand head of the Coimbra army! I am not your enemy, please open the gates!

Moving forward, Cynthia shouts out, pointing to the Coimbra flag that the squad flies. After a while, the soldiers of the earthbag bow down like relieved, and the gates of the city open.

Cynthia orders the soldiers to wait here and proceed to the city of Single Volvo. Still further afield of the Cynthia squad, there are about five thousand Bahar soldiers to refrain from. If Cynthia fails to persuade us, we're going to siege her and attack her immediately. Lord Bahar Amir sees Noel's battle for abandonment as a threat. Whatever happened, he was strong and stern that he should not be left alone in the field.

As Cynthia enters the city, Noel, with a wholeheartedly happy face, rushes over with momentum as if she were going to fly away.

"Long time no see! It's so good to see you again safely! I didn't think you were on my side, so I turned my bow around. Sorry, Cynthia."

Noel that curls and stands fast. Cynthia tells her quietly that she doesn't mind.

"Naturally in this situation. You're doing the right thing.... I'm glad to see you again, too"

"As always, you're stubborn! There's no one in this city that's better than me, so you don't have to worry about it. Hey, look, look! I got promoted just like Cynthia. Look, a thousand people! Now you're finally in line!

Noel shows me a thousand head of rank card. Show me your white teeth and have fun.

"Oh. I didn't expect to be lined up so soon. A boulder can be feared as a ghost.... If it's true, I'd just like to say a word of celebration, but I guess that's not the situation"

Severe painful tone Cynthia. I haven't been able to laugh once yet. No, considering what I'm going to have to tell you, not very much, but I can't laugh or anything.

Noel seems to have noticed something wrong with this one. When I stop laughing, I just lay my eyes down sadly for a moment. Kai, Barbus and Ligret on the side also look at this one with surprise.

"Hey, I was talking about Madres being besieged by the Baha 'i army. Was that just a rumor?

…………

"Or did you force me to come this far? If that's the case, I'm glad. You know, I haven't had a lot of people come to me to help me."

Haha, Noel laughing in a dry voice. When Noel sticks the double-forked spear he was carrying to the ground, he signals Barbus with his eyes and forces him to close the gate. Probably began to be wary of getting poked in the gap. Wave further and make the soldiers line up on the earthen sac.

"Do you notice the boulder? You know, you're really smart."

"Besides Cynthia's soldiers out there, someone's hiding. If it was reinforcements, I'd be glad. With so many soldiers, it's easier to get into the madres. If you go into the madre, it's this way."

Cynthia decided that if this happened, she would have to tell them without lying or falsely. If Noel does anything more, he could be mistaken for a negotiated breakdown by Bahar soldiers.

"Noel. Let me get this straight. I didn't come here to help you. To encourage you to surrender."

To the words, the soldiers who were around them cried out. Noel Squad seems to be highly motivated, a look everyone seems to be unhappy with. After a while, anger and cursing begin to rise. None of them are like surrendering. That would be so. If you are thinking of surrendering, there is no reason to fortify the city like this. Between the work, we should be getting away with it.

Noel moves closer to stepping on the earth, one step closer, as he raises his hand to his stirring men to stop him. Noel's favorite hammer on his hips and a double-forked spear remain stuck on the ground. Cynthia prepares for the unintended blow. I believe I can't do that, but I can't die yet. That results in the worst that no one can be saved.

"Haha, Cynthia jokes sometimes, too. I don't think I've heard it since we met."

"... I'm really sorry, but I'm not kidding. Taishou was determined to descend to Bahar. And as a messenger to persuade you to keep fighting, I was chosen."

When Cynthia tells him to teach, Noel steps on the ground and exasperates.

"Surrender? There's no way I'm surrendering."

"... Noel"

"I definitely don't want to surrender. I absolutely don't like dying without fighting. I've decided to fight everyone here until the end."

"That's right! We're following Captain Noel! Even if he's dead!

"What a fart the captain and his protégé's warriors are!

"If we termites get into this mining zone, we can fight for years!

"It's not just the termite party! I'll show you the power of the Coimbra Army!

Soldiers boiling down to Noel's words.

"Right? They're all so cheerful. So, it's okay. Cynthia will fight with you. First we break through the siege of Madres to help Taisho and the youngsters. All you have to do is lurk in this mining zone and wait for your chance. If you keep fighting until your opponent makes a sound, you'll definitely win one day."

Noel talks strategy. I guess he doesn't think he can make it happen either. You look somewhere less confident. But it conveys that you can never just admit to losing. In fact, even if the breakthrough of the Madres is impossible, if Noel goes down into the field and continues the guerrilla battle, Bahar will be quite tormented. A bunch of ghosts who show up in raids in disgrace, targeting a thin defensive stronghold. It has proven itself capable of doing so by plunging several cities.

"… Already, Madres opened the castle gate and the Coimbra army disarmed. At the earliest, Coimbra is under Bahar's control. Taishou suffered all sins and stigma and was decided to accept death. It's all about helping the people, the general, and the young man and his wife."

"How come you don't fight to the end? If you stick it in the madre, you'll have it for over a year! Besides, we're still fighting!

"To minimize sacrifice! Ready? If you show any more resistance, your determination to be fat will be in vain. The promise will be a rebellion, and you and your wife will be lost to life!

"Why? How could you blame me! I don't like it. I don't want you to surrender and kill me irresistibly, even if I die!

Noel shouted in a sad voice. It's childish, but it's unacceptable to Noel. Noel hasn't lost. You haven't lost, but there's no way you can surrender. Yes, I think from the bottom of my heart.

"One of the promises I made with Lord Bahar is the help of all Coimbra soldiers. You will not be killed."

"I can't believe what they say. More than that, you know, let's keep fighting together. I'm sure you can win. Some weapons are awesome. If you use that well, you can burn and kill all Bahar soldiers. So, I'm gonna help you, young man. Let's have a drink and be the next general."

Noel squeaks like a sneer. To its weak appearance, Cynthia's heart shakes only for a moment. I'm not convinced myself. But there's no choice. No one can be happier in this fight. We must respect Grohl's last will and let his wife survive.

"Sorry, but I can't. I respect your decision. There can't be any other means at the earliest than Madres already opened the castle. You follow your life, disarm and open the gates!

"I don't like it. I'm not kidding. No matter how much Cynthia says, I will never obey that order."

"... well. Then I have no choice. Until I slaughter and throw it away on this spot!

Cynthia pulled out her sword. The soldiers around him also set up their weapons in a hurry. Noel, who opposes him, still doesn't try to set it up. I am surprised that I cannot understand it at all.

"Cynthia's still my friend, isn't she? We're friends, aren't we? Right?"

"You are my companion and my best friend. At least, I consider you an irreplaceable friend."

I mean it, not a lie. dating is short, but no one has ever been this close. Noel jokes, Cynthia blames it. I had also come to think of such time as fun. So I really don't want to point a sword or anything.

"- But I am also the knight of Coimbra. If I don't obey you, I'll have to kill you. If I were to protect the lives of my people, I would be evil."

"And my friends, they don't kill. Because we're friends. So it's crazy to point your swords at each other!

Noel put up an iron hammer with his trembling hands.

"Si, Master Cynthia, we need time to talk calmly here. You won't have to fight the captain! That's ridiculous!

Cynthia stares and intimidates Barbus as he tries to get in between.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have that long. On the side of the city, the Baha 'i army is monitoring the whereabouts of the negotiations. If I don't go back like this, the total offense will begin immediately."

"... if I said no, would Cynthia really kill me? Then why are you calling me your best friend? That's sloppy!!

"... if I kill you, I will soon follow you too. I don't do anything to make only one friend pass away. On the contrary, if you killed me, that would be irrelevant. That we just acted on each other's beliefs. Never have a grudge."

"Oh, no -"

Noel distorts his face with despair. The eyes are vain, and the hand holding the hammer is shuddering with discomfort.

"Noel, this is the last time. Drop your sword and surrender!

Cynthia stares at Noel for the first time. Violently upset Noel is full of gaps and has no usual intimidation at all. I can definitely stop now. This distance can cause fatal injuries, even if the surrounding soldiers are out of the way.

If Noel is serious, Cynthia won't win. Depending on Noel's response, we consolidate our resolve that we have to do it.

"... Ugh"

After Noel wandered his gaze, he moaned spicidly and crumbled to the spot powerless.

"Cynthia is really sloppy."

"... I know. It was the only way to stop you."

"If I kill Cynthia, and if the young man is to be executed. I will break two promises at once. I can't do that, there's no way I can! Really, really sloppy!!

"... sorry"

"- Ugh, uh-oh!

- Noel began to cry, shaking his body like a child, as he was crumpled. What shouldn't have been, what was wrong? Noel doesn't get it. I tried my best. I did everything I could. Whether I was laughed at, pissed off, or looked down, I did what I could to win.

Yet the last thing I've been waiting for is this result. I knew from the bottom of my heart that the world was irrational. But after all, sad things are sad. What I regret is regrettable. That said, Noel couldn't stop the overflowing tears.

"............... Also, rain"

Cynthia feels a cold Shizuku fall on her cheek as she hands down her sword. The pounding and the rain that began to make noise instantly gained momentum. In the heavy rain, the soldiers who stand up, Kai looking up to heaven, Barbus, Ligret, who turns away in shame. And Noel keeps crying with a rubbed voice. Its appearance of being struck by the rain with crumbs was like begging someone for forgiveness.

Cynthia can wear a cloak containing her own coin bra crest to Noel. And all I could do was gently stroke the redhead wet in Shizukuishi.

- The news of the demon Noel's surrender was brought immediately to the nearby Baha 'i army. Commander Bahar was reluctantly convinced when Cynthia told him she only wanted him to wait two hours to prepare. A two-hammer flag was handed to him by the Noel squad as a sign of surrender. troops, and the pride of the commander, and depriving the enemy of this is to be considered the most humiliating. Commander Bahar understood it and gave me at least two hours of pity and respite.

Noel, calmed down just a little, called in Kai and Barbus. And he gave instructions to escape immediately after being dispersed by this heavy rain. Kai is a Gemb person, if he gets caught here, it will be a pain in the ass. And Barbus is formerly a thief. If you do both poorly, you could be on death row.

Noel shook his neck sideways to both of them stating that they would do it together until the end. And I bowed my head to ask you to run, please. Especially when Barbus wanted me to keep my promise, it seemed like a momentum to lay low. "I'll make sure you let him get away with it when he's about to be guilty," Noel promised Barbus, and the termite party.

Barbus, who understood it, nodded slightly after a short tour. Kai also obeyed reluctantly.

"You'll remember the promise it made."

"Yeah. Talk about going to Gemb to play. I'll do my best to protect you."

"... if you know, it's good. I sincerely wish you well."

Kai leads the foot soldiers and escapes through the North Gate.

Barbus decided to take the termite party face and hide himself once in the Bork mine.

- At that breakup. Noel tries to give his favorite spear to Barbus.

"Hey, will you keep this?

"... what are you gonna do? If it's an alternative, I'll be polite enough to say no. You're definitely going home alive."

"I guess I'll see you again. Instead of the vow. Even if I have it, they'll take the weapon. So, huh?

"... but I can't have that. As much as burning someone else, even the captain."

"Fine, fine! I'm probably fine now!

Noel is forced to hold a double-forked spear. Balbus to prepare for heat, but no sign of burns. A cursed two-pronged spear that should not be able to grip anything but Noel could also touch Barbus. However, it is unusually heavy and I don't think it can be used.

"... that's heavy. I knew it wasn't going to work for me."

"Haha, it'll be tough, but good luck. And if I die,"

"Captain!!

"I'm talking about what happened. If I die, the spear will be thrown into the sea. If you don't, it's tough. And I'm sure I'll see you again."

Noel said that and laughed, slapping Barbus on the shoulder ramblingly.

Noel, who was taken to Madress, was to face Amir with a shackle on his leg and a harsh rope on his hands as if he were a sinner. Amir now sits on the seat of the castle lord where Grohl once sat. Standing in line are Farid, the general of Bahar headed by Mills. And a face that betrayed a coin bra such as Royer on Wilm, Gaddis with one leg prosthetic.

"We've taken Noel Vossheit!

"Thank you"

The guards are spears, holding Noel's body to full force. Noel's horror is also famous among Bahar soldiers. Carnas' story of purgatory is enough to make him tremble until he is a soldier. In case of absolute prevention, the guards were laying more than necessary prep.

"You're the one who's afraid of the devil, Noel. It's the one that made us fold. But as far as this goes, she only looks like a daughter.... Farid, you must be this guy, right?

"Ha, definitely. This person is the owner of a fearsome power. Even the Black Yang Ride, I was wondering to what extent I could cross with this person. With my spear, this man survived."

"Hmm. Then it must also be true that you took the generals of Bahar, and the lords of Coimbra who followed us. That place deserves to die."

Amir looks down at Noel intrigued. Noel, held down, is faceless and shows no particular emotion. You don't show anger, you don't threaten and beg for your life. Just kneel on the spot and lay your eyes down quietly. Only burning red hair showed Noel's inner heart.

"... but if you serve me, why don't you forgive me for all your sins? And let's give Coimbra the status of a thousand men and the territory."

To Amir's words, stunned Wilm and Gaddis. Because he thought he would certainly be charged with death.

"Please wait! I don't trust this person. Really, it's a monster that doesn't know what you're thinking. I know it would be a good idea to end it here in order to take root later."

"... I agree with Wilm too. People's logic doesn't work for ghosts. If you look at what Carnas did, you'll see that! We should also be punished severely to clear the mindless of those killed by ghosts!

A martial officer on the Bahar's side unwittingly laughs at Wilm and Gaddis' statement that he gave himself to the shelf. No matter how much I say, the traitor is the traitor. The sentiment of the Bahar martial officers is more sympathetic to Noel, who fought through to the end than to these unauthorized people. Though it has killed many of my colleagues, it is a learning of war. I feel horrible, but seeing this pathetic look made me feel sympathetic.

"What's wrong with you guys? Did I say something wrong?

"Ha-ha-ha, this is rude. However, the traitor's lord was told that he could not be trusted, etc. I can't stand it."

"Kuku, I guess this is what makes you want to laugh with your nose. How many of those tongues do you have?"

Wilm, Gaddis' face is dyed red when the Bahar martial artists curse him intensely.

"So shut up! Until we made the right decision! Above all, I am entrusted by His Majesty with the status of a solemn agent! I won't tolerate disrespect!

"Ha ha, we Baha 'is will not yield to such threats"

"Both generals of Coimbra are truly loyal! Lord Noel's cleanliness should be apprenticed a little! If you're talking about self-determination, let me give you a hand!

"You fool our Coimbra soldiers!

The reward for the abusive words began. Inside there are even Baha 'is who lay their hands on the sword. Originally, the two states got along badly. Though I got on my side, that doesn't suddenly dissolve. One hand controls Amir to stop being a one-touch instant.

"It's ugly, can't we both make a big deal out of it? We will not dispute more than those who serve the Holsheed Empire together, and those who have been cleaned up. Wouldn't it?

"Ha. Excuse me!

"also, sorry"

The hustle and bustle quietly return. If we defy you here, we may lose the opportunity for glory that we have at our disposal. Watch your mouth, even as both generals meet.

When Amir sends a signal with his eyes, Farid nods and starts walking slowly.

"Lord Noel and Lord Amir will soon be in glorious position. This is the one who will most often lead us to happiness. Why don't you help me with your martial arts? As you can see from me, you will always be rewarded for your work."

As Farid kneels to Noel's side, he exhorts politely. I did win with one hit, but I'm pretty sure I have more talent than Rebecca. It may be equivalent to Rebecca if it's just power, but it has the power to lead the squad. He was the person Amir would definitely want from now on.

Most importantly, there was something about this familiar redhead that fascinated Farid somewhere. I guess so, too. The look on your face then, first of all, no doubt, is number 13, which should have died in the dawn plan.

"... I'm sorry, I refuse. I promise to serve Lord Elgar. You can't break that promise."

When Noel answered that quietly, but often in a voice, Amir nodded only one word, saying yes. Farid grabs Noel's shoulder and tries to flirt. Here, where he died, he said it meant nothing.

"Think calmly. Just passing the will, producing nothing"

"... I refuse"

Amir blocked Farid from trying to persuade him.

"Sure, keeping promises is important. I don't know why I have to. But I can't even keep your sins intact."

"Then please charge me with death! This woman should definitely be killed here! Don't leave the source of the disaster alone!

"Lord Wilm, Lord Amir promised Lord Grohl that he would save the lives of all generals. Is that what you're asking me to do?

Farid argues. That gaze contains hostility. A barometric wilm frightens me for a moment.

"But! This one, no doubt, is extremely dangerous, such as unleashing it on the wild! You understand that, too!

Wilm, who is going to rule Coimbra next, wanted to make sure that he ended up here with someone who could be the enemy of the future. Most importantly, Noel would have a grudge against himself. If you were to be targeted first, yourself. Given that, I wanted to kill him at all costs.

Knowing the mood, Mills, the staff member, makes a suggestion. Because it's going to be more interesting in the future.

"I also know how you feel about Master Wilm. Master Amir will soon climb to the Great Seat. Before we do that, I wonder if you'd like to rebut your promise."

"Lord Mills, more than promised, now the root of future evil..."

Amir controls Wilm's objections by hand. There is no one to fear with the earliest coin bra. Grohl, who is likely to be the cause of the future, will only crush and later climb to the throne of the emperor. I don't even have to bother pruning pawns that I think I can use. I am young and have a lot of time left. There's nothing to panic about.

"Mills' opinion, especially. You don't have to defile my name with nonsense. Instead, this place should be forgiven with a generous heart"

"But if you leave sin as it is, you will be licked. Huhuhuhuhu, how about this place as a sin of leeward? Until the ghost revamps, it flows to a distant island. Yes, it looks like a gag."

"Islander. Then you won't be able to imitate anything strange."

"Yes, and as one who made the dreaded devil obey, the name and generosity of Lord Amir will strike the world even more!

Amir understands Mills' suggestion after giving it some thought. The Bahr 'i martial officers also show their expression that it would be reasonable. I was afraid of Noel, but my rebellion against Gaddis, Wilm, who is facing the winner when he betrayed me more than that. Because of this, Noel was fortunate enough to be helped.

Here, Amir chose to keep him alive. Previously, the talented took advantage of it and followed its own policy of pawning. This policy has brought together competent talent at its own disposal. And they'll keep coming together. Indicating the size of the vessel was important in leading people.

"Um, that would be best. Noel, there is a small island called Willa Island southwest of Coimbra. You pray to the Sun God there, and repent every day for what you have done. When people recognize that will of redemption, let me ask the same question again. Your martial arts, it's a shame to let them bury you. Just remember that I want that power. I promise you a favor."

Noel replied with no particular objection, just that he understood.

Rebecca appeared in angry form before Noel, who was again taken to prison. I have a black and yang ride for you.

When the guard is forced to stop, he puts a sharp fist in Noel's belly and showers a strong kick over and over where he creeps. The Black Yang riders also surround Noel and kick him in the shout.

The guards don't particularly try to stop it. She is the vice general of Bahar's most powerful black and yang rider, and if she defies it, she will wind herself up too.

Rebecca grabs Noel's redhead, who falls and lays low, and intimidates him with her face close.

"Hey, loser. You're waving your tail at Lady Amir for sparing your life. You killed a bunch of Atashi brothers! Show your will to the end and die! Die, die now Neh!!

…………

"This shitty dog can't speak a word? Then why don't we just keep hitting him until he wants to talk? Ahhh!?

Put a sharp blow in the temple. Rebecca doesn't hide her frustrations from Noel, who still doesn't respond. Put a fist swinging in your face again. Kick Noel's head down with all his might. Over and over again.

"Dear Rebecca, I'm going to die any more, but is there a problem?

Rebecca distorts her mouth as Black Yang rides, making her final confirmation.

"Hey, no one gets mad when I tell them I killed them because I tried to escape. Let's kill him right here. Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. The corpse's gonna feed the dog! You can even eat your bones!

Where Rebecca put her hand on the sword of her hips, there is a voice of restraint coming from behind. The voice color was sober, but it obviously contained anger.

"What are you guys doing? I should have ordered a patrol under the castle. Was there an emergency?

"Fa, Dear Farid!?

"Ko, this is, the"

Block the panicking Black Yang riders, and Rebecca advances out.

"It's not, brother! I'm trying to clear my people's minds! If you unleash your vengeance, you'll be able to patrol! Mostly, you just have to let those crappy jobs, the miscellaneous fish do it!

"Madres has just fallen, and the insurgents are still there. That's why I ordered an elite black and yang rider to patrol. Safeguarding Master Amir is crap, isn't it?

"Come on, if you kill this guy, I'll do it right away!! That'll do!

"Master Amir was guaranteed the life of all General Coimbra. You're gonna break that, aren't you?

Farid, without admiring his emotions, takes double confirmation. Rebecca remembers her inner fear, but the anger of wanting to take revenge on her brothers surpassed it.

"So my brother can forgive this guy!?

"... when combined with the sin of ignoring my orders, and the treason of not obeying Master Amir, you need to make amends with death. I'm so sorry."

"Oh, brother?

When Farid takes the knife out of his nostrils, he throws it at Rebecca's feet.

"Look, just die. Harm yourself now. I've told you before, you don't need a guy who can't take orders. You're not needed for Black Yang rides."

"Oh, no!

"I don't need an excuse. Harm yourself."

"Oh, I'm sorry! Atashi, Atashi doesn't like to die from this!!

"............ so?

"Ugh, wow, I'm sorry! I won't do it anymore. Forgive me, brother! It's true, it's true!

"We just have to split up. But the next time you do the same imitation, I'll kill you. Lord Noel has decided to be sent to Willa Island. No need for any handouts!... get back to work as soon as you know it!

When Farid scolds harshly, the Black Yang riders tremble like threatened dogs.

"Shit, I understand!

"Wow, I get it! Ah, Atashi won't hurt himself! Absolutely not!!

With that said, Rebecca and Black Yang Ride run away in a threatening manner. Farid grabs a short knife and apologizes to Noel. I'm gonna get Noel to stand up. He must have been attacked with a lot of force, but Noel doesn't look particularly comfortable.

But there is a blue mole on his face and blood flowing from his mouth. Farid wipes it with a handkerchief. Maybe the bones are broken.

"Are you all right? If you need treatment, I'll arrange it immediately."

"Fine."

"I'm really, really sorry. Rebecca's not a bad one either, but she's prone to exaggeration. Well, they made me do that, so I can't help it."

Noel looks up to the words that contain Farid.

"It is."

"... just let me ask you one thing. Are you familiar with the word" dawn plan "?

"Dawn, plan"

"The Church of the Sun in the Empire City, the plan that took place there, ended in a sad end. I thought maybe you knew."

To Farid's serious question, Noel answered briefly, after a little thought, that he did not know.

"... well. I'm sorry to hear something strange. But maybe I'm just forgetting. I want you to tell me when you remember."

Farid smiles. Noel twisted his neck strangely.

…………

"And back to earlier. Master Amir will certainly lead us to happiness. That's what I believe. If you settle down a little on Willa Island, think about it. You must realize that waving a sword for Master Amir is absolutely right."

"... yeah, I get it. One day, for Lord Amir's sake, I'll wave my sword. I promise."

"Right! Yeah, I'm really excited. I sincerely hope that the day will come when I can fight with you. I hope we can talk more slowly then."

"Yeah. See you then."

Saying so and laughing, Noel started walking slowly as the guards took him. Farid remembers a girl who once had special emotions after he dropped her off afterwards. Again, definitely number 13. I'm so glad you're alive. Because I thought all those who were there were dead.

(... but you said no. Are you forgetting or pretending to forget? Either way, you're in this world. I don't care either way anymore. Oh, I'm really looking forward to the day we can fight together)

Farid took off his mask as a black yang rider only for a moment and laughed like an innocent child.

- The next day, ex-Coimbra Taishou, was charged with death by Glor Valdecca, son of Emperor Befnam. After being forced to state a hundred counts of sin himself, and to play the play of kneeling before Amir and begging for mercy miserably. The execution was to be carried out immediately, and a truncating platform was provided in the Grand Square of Madres. Grohl was once again forced to apologize for what he had done to the residents who had visited the sights with interest. The residents began to have an indescribable sense of superiority that the man who had always looked great had fallen so far. When one uttered a curse, it happened to be the great chorus of disturbing, killing, and killing.

"Is this the reward of incompetence? Elgar, Sarah, forgive me for being such a fool.... and, Noel, I really..."

Shortly after Grohl shrugged, a dull, shining white blade was dropped and his neck rolled off into a barrel. Blood dripping down his neck was raised high by the hand of the executioner. In the war of imperial succession, as if to show the victory of Amir to heaven.

At that moment, the inhabitants of Madres raised their applause and high praise. The anticipation of a new era and its voice, which dissipated dissatisfaction so far, never stopped ringing for some time.

Grohl's neck shall be exposed before the gates of the castle, and the people around Madress shall look with hatred. Lords close to Grohl, who were to be forced to fall, not only cursed, but even threw stones at the beginning and end. It was once the pathetic end of a man who was supposedly closest to the emperor.

Sarah, Grohl's wife, who was rescued, took her breath while in a coma, without nursing her husband's death. Maybe it was a happy end in a way. Only Elgar was left behind. The Valdecca surname, which bears the testimony of the noble clan, was stripped, and she succeeded her mother's maiden name, Root Wing, and settled in a small city in the north.

"From now on, I know I want to live in atonement for the great sins my father has committed. And once again, I pledge my allegiance to Your Majesty and the Empire."

The young Elgar knelt humbly before Amir after seeing his father executed. He also apologized to Wilm and Gaddis, who betrayed him, for his father's previous stupidity, and from now on showed him by stating in a special victory that he wanted to sweat for Coimbra. - Keep the blade of hatred and vengeance in your heart. When I give the people who laughed at my father's death, the people who fell into my father, the reward they must have, sooner or later, I roll the scornful Fire into my heart.

- The day Noel heads to the outlaw. Drop-off men were waiting for us in the port of Madres. It is the face of Cynthia, whose fatigue is intense, of Elgar with a depressing expression, and of the Noel squad aligned with civilian clothing.

"Noel, I don't talk a lot right now. If it's true, there's no face to match.... One day, when you come back, I'm going to accept everything. Until that day, I will live in shame. So be sure to come home."

Cynthia had decided to turn down Wilm's invitation and serve Elgar's side. Cynthia thought that hard days might await, but that's the only atonement she can make.

"You don't have to be so depressed. Nothing. I'm not mad anymore. Look, I'm in front of you, young man, so we need to be brighter!

Noel lets it stand aside, but Cynthia's expression doesn't change. I didn't think this was going to work, Noel decided to talk to Elgar.

"Hey, about your father, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I did my best."

"No, Noel did a really good job.... Before the execution, my father was apologizing. I wish I believed you then. I feel really sorry for him, and I've never seen his face like that before. And he told me to gain the power to see through people's hearts, and my father passed away."

To Elgar, who seems to regret it, Noel pretends to hug him and whispers in his ear. If you do this, you should look like you're sparing your goodbyes. There are Bahar soldiers nearby, and if they ask, it's a hassle.

"If they do, you just have to do it back. Right? 'Cause we're still alive."

"No, Noel, what the hell, what?"

Noel laughs at Elgar, whose face turns red.

"I'll definitely be back. That's when you keep your word. It's okay, as long as you're alive, you're not gonna lose."

"... ok. Me, too, waiting with all my workouts. So, definitely, come back."

"Yeah. Then it's time to go. Cynthia, do me a favor, young man. You'll do fine until I get back!

Noel dares to act bright and raise his hand. Cynthia, too, loosened her mouth just a little bit, whining just one word that she understood.

Noel enters Bahar's ship. Hands are free, though they are added. Waving cheerfully at the people who would drop them off, the Noel squad faces began to line up.

"Salute Captain Noel!! We look forward to your return, forever!!

"Captain, do well! I'm really waiting!!

"Noel squad march, start playing!!

As he sails, he takes out the little drums of the trumpet he was hiding somewhere and starts playing. It is flashy and busy as if to celebrate Noel's appearance. When the Bahar soldiers who were patrolling the vicinity discovered him, they ordered him to stop and began to rub it together. Really fun and interesting fellows, Noel kept watching until they were out of sight.

After being completely invisible, Noel was left alone on the ship. The Bahar soldiers naturally know that Noel was called a demon and will not come close at all unless necessary. I don't have anyone to talk to. All you can hear is the sounds of seabirds. The sea breeze is about the nose, I don't feel very good.

"Oh, you're alone again. I don't know, that's boring. I knew you'd miss one."

Everybody together, but it's boring not having people to talk to and play with. Noel sighed in dismay.

"That was a shame. Apparently, I was interrupting."

A familiar shady face, directly above the sleeping Noel. What appeared with a humble expression and tongue-in-cheek was a ligret with long black hair. It wraps around the military uniform of the Coimbra Gendarmerie.

"That, Ligret, there he is. I thought you didn't say hello because you hated me."

"I thought you said hello. It's okay, 'cause I'm sure you don't like it."

"I'm wearing gendarmerie clothes."

"Because they told me to wear this. My job now is to be your watchman."

Hmm, and a nosy ligret. When Noel gets up, he looks at her wonderfully.

"The flourishing islands will be accompanied by me. For that guy, it means he can make good physical trouble payments. It's unpleasant, because if you don't obey, they could kill you. 'Cause it's true they're suspicious."

"It is."

"Yes."

Irresistible ligret. I couldn't say goodbye, so Noel missed me, but I guess he was going to come with me. Noel gets a little happy and speaks to Ligret.

"By the way, what's Willa Island like?

"My research suggests that there is a director's hall that governs the island and a fishing village of considerable size. Some churches have a history, so this is a great environment for you to reflect on. I mean, for me, it's a boring place like shit."

I'm sorry to hear that.

"Absolutely. Well, I have to see you die. If you die on your own, don't because it's annoying."

"Okay!

When Noel answers well, he starts fishing for a large luggage bag that was nearby. The weapon was forbidden from being used as a murder weapon, but anything else that had permission was allowed to be brought in. What I brought in is a treasure I bought in Madres, with playboards, toys, trumpets, and, secretly, hammers to sneak in as well. I asked the soldiers of the Noel squad to put me in the toolbox that was loaded on the ship.

When Noel takes the black and white board out of his luggage bag, he puts it in front of the riglet.

"What? You're a sinner, so be quiet."

"Shall I play because I'm free? There's a long way to go. They're still on the boat for the next five days."

"I refuse. If I had your opponent in the next five days, I would have died of overwork."

"Oh, my God, if you're afraid to lose, you can't help it."

"Well, there's no way you're scared. Fine, let's just deal with him once."

Line up two white and black pawns against a ligret on provocation. Noel is good at this game. The odds of winning so far would exceed 80%. When I get tired of it, my concentration breaks, so I lose a lot.

Indeed, the battle at Coimbra has been lost. But from a big perspective, I haven't lost at all yet. Because this is how Noel lives, and so does Cynthia, Elgar, Barbus and Ligret, who made the promise. Kai is also returning to Gembu. Well, then, not yet.

"... it won't start unless you point."

"Let me think for a second"

"Is it possible that you're an idiot to think from the first hand?

"If Ligret loses, it means he's dumber."

Tongue-beating ligret. When Noel lifted the refreshing white pawn, he struck with momentum.

The real battle is coming. For a little while, take a break and get stronger. You can't beat that red-haired man either.

"... I just thought"

"What is it?

A ligret that responds to the appearance of trouble while giving away pawns.

"I hate rainy days."

"I know. Because you really look like a child. Correct me while I'm on the island"

"It just happens the worst and worst, but on second thought, it rained that day too, but you survived. This time too, I thought he was going to kill me, but he survived the shooting. This is amazing, isn't it?

"Huh?"

"Surviving means we were lucky. Maybe rainy days aren't all that bad."

"If the weather dictates life, it won't be that easy. Ridiculous."

That's true, too, Noel replied, and the play goes on. In the end, Noel, who occupied all the corners, prevailed over Ligret. To Noel, who can do it, Ligret punches his tongue in a row. And again, I've tried a rematch. It is really easy to find someone with blood on their head. You won't lose for the time being from now on.

"But I knew you'd feel good on a sunny day."

"I feel the worst right now."

"... I hope it's sunny the next time I come back"

Noel grinned as he watched the distant castle of Madres.

- Yes, the battle is not over yet.
