The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

"Luther, you're not bad, you've made another contribution this time." The five-year-old man patted the shoulder of the young man beside him carelessly.

The cowardice on Luther's face faded a lot, and his face was engraved with traces of soldiers by the battle. He can already be called a responsible young man.

After all, his body has become younger and his foundation is still there, so he will adapt to life on the border very quickly.

Mixing with the men who also came to serve in the army, his personality seemed to be a lot more cheerful, and his speech was no longer lacking in confidence and hesitating.

...Well, I also learned the rough accents of these border guys by the way.

When he first came, he was too weak to be bullied, but as long as he thought of Lucini, Luther had countless courage.

Men, as long as you slap once, the next thing will be much easier.

Luther's name was accompanied by the comments of "the appearance is honest, easy to bully, and it's scary to start a fire" and "even a mane dog monster is not as sharp as this guy." These two comments spread to several regiments stationed at the border, and there are no more. People will underestimate this young man who couldn't even draw a bow and arrow when he first came.

Luther smiled, and rubbed his shoulders: "If you don't pat me like this every time, I think I can happily share the bounty with you for drinking. But now..."

"You wouldn't be so cruel and give up on helping your poor friends, right?!"

The big man immediately became nervous when he heard the words, and he shook the unconscious man on his shoulders. This ragged man was knocked unconscious by Luther from behind—in order to prevent this guy from resisting arrest.

"I'm still carrying this pile of bounties for you, buddy! Take a pat on my wine and it will be gone?"

Luther didn't answer, and the big man soldier looked at his palm with tears in his eyes: "Why can't I control my broken hand..."

"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly, my brother will take a break tomorrow to drink with me."

Luther greeted this funny companion angrily. As soon as this guy heard that there was wine to drink, he immediately forgot the previous grief, and happily walked ahead to open the way.

Luther fell behind the big man soldier. He stopped and stared at the small piece of woods in front of him for a long time.

Recently, more and more refugees have fled from the border.

No, not just refugees, refugees will mournfully apply for entry and the protection of Itenna.

These escapees who took unusual paths and were able to sneak into the territory of Itenna through the border barrier were, without exception, adventurers.

On the other side, the Land of Thunder Flame and Fire...

Has the mother country of that lady knight been completely taken over by the demons?

"Luther, why don't you leave, did you find anything?"

"Nothing was found." Luther raised his voice.He trotted to follow, and the guy had already gone far away, "I'll just put some water, why are you in a hurry."

"No, no, I'm afraid that this stowaway will wake up, so I have to ask you to give him a brick."

"Don't you want to hurry up and exchange bounties for wine, let's go."

Luther, who left with his companions, glanced at the woods for the last time.There was a happy smile on his face.

No matter what will happen in the future, he can already help Luxini's country now, so what is there to be afraid of?

"I will definitely protect you."

Luther whispered, holding the only pendant brought from his own world.

At this time, the Holy Maiden was sitting with her lovely lady knight. Opposite the Holy Maiden, there were Gloria who held a sword and said nothing, and the Lich who only knew how to play with poor desserts.

There was silence between the four, or the trio, and one necromancer.Keenly aware of Lucini's hostility towards her, Greiya swallowed everything she was going to say.At least now is definitely not a good time to speak.

Fortunately, just sitting in front of Bedwell, whom she knew, at least once spent time with, the girl's tension disappeared a lot—no way, she carried a sword with her—even if this The sheath sword has been wrapped in bandages, and she also looks a little out of place.

Gloria had lived as a boy for far too long.

Moreover, the professionals in Lapuyard, at least the professionals who will enter this kind of scene and stay there, know to put away their weapons.

Speechless.

If only the Lich was present, Lucini could do this and that to Miss Knight unscrupulously.Anyway, even if the lich said something, no one would believe that the true face of the saint is like this.But if Greiya was present, Lucini would not be able to act like a baby.There is no way, she is really not familiar with Greya, besides Grace, Lucini has never admitted any friends.

Who knows if this girl will say something!What's more, is it still under the circumstances that the other party seems to care about Bedwell?

Of course, before the silence, the Holy Maiden entertained the other party very warmly.

He calmly revealed the two points of "My mother is very rich, super rich and the richest in the world" and "Bedwell is my knight. If you have anything to say, you can tell me about this master first."

As for whether the other party understands or not, Lucini doesn't know.

This is really not the fault of the Holy Maiden, Lucini is already very, very warm and friendly.It would be fine if the time and place were changed, but now is the day for her to come out to play with her knight!

What if the other party has to follow when leaving the dessert shop? !No, no, absolutely not!

In the end... how to do it?

jingle-

The lich suddenly dropped the spoon and stood up.His face was tense, and he didn't speak, his expression was so solemn that it seemed that his territory had been violated by another lich.

"What's the matter, Lich?" Seeing that Lucini was in a daze, and even the noise didn't wake her up, Miss Knight could only ask softly.

The Lich blinked, the pair of fake eyeballs seemed a little dull, a confused expression appeared on his face, and he shook his head.

"I have no idea……"

"It seems that something big is about to happen, my soul fire is throbbing."

Bedwell became vigilant subconsciously. It must be a very big problem for the lich to lose his composure so much that even the soul fire reacted.

Outside the glazed window, the little kid waving a branch in his hand shouted: "Wow, I found you! It's too bad, Lich, you actually hid in the dessert shop to eat!"

"Ah!" Lich suddenly realized, "I'm still a ghost, I'm going to catch them! It really is a big deal!"

Outside the store, a few more little kids gathered, looking through the glass window at this little friend who inexplicably escaped from the game.

"..." Miss Knight suddenly felt like a fool for being serious with this three-year-old lich.That's a really big deal, ha.

The Lich walked away nervously under the urging of his friends, leaving the dessert that he poked to pieces but didn't eat pitifully.Seeing this, Greya seemed to be fleeing for her life, and left with an excuse of "I'm going to play with the Lich".

The blond girl hugged the holy sword she depended on, and her steps slowed down. She looked at the lich surrounded by children in front of her, and complained in a low voice: "Augus, I'm serious, I don't want to go into that kind of shop again. Yeah, it makes me feel weird all over."

A clear youthful voice appeared in her ears: "Among the children who played with the natural lich, two were orc hybrids, one had the blood of elves, and only one was a pure-race human." .”

"Iten is indeed an ideal land. If you stay here, it will be much safer than staying in Kode."

"Huh? The orcs are easy to recognize. Which one is the elf hybrid, the human race or the half-elf?" Greya squinted her eyes, and the next second, Greya was a little annoyed, "No, that's not the point, Ogus. You You should listen to me, I don't need to be a girl, that's not for me."

The Lich turned around and greeted Greya happily: "Miss Bridesmaid, everyone said they want to play with you—"

Miss Knight, who was looking at the scene outside the glass window, turned her head.

The Holy Maiden woke up like a dream: "Huh? Where are they?"

She has already figured out a way to make Greya shut up and leave so that she can be alone with her dear Bei Wei, but she just needs to wrong the Lich, and this Necromancer doesn't mind showing a gentleman's demeanor, Maybe she took advantage of it a little bit.

If Grace is still there, why would she bother so much, oh~ it's just a matter of necessity~

So, now, where are they? !

"Hey, my lord, now only the minister and you are left."

"So?" Lucy Ni's eyes lit up.Bei Wei is implying what is wrong with her? !

"So you can eat these desserts to your heart's content, please don't worry about being discovered by outsiders, I will help you block them." Bedwell thought for a while, and then said, "If it were you, you would definitely not gain weight, I guarantee it with Karade Poga."

"……Oh."
