Episode 1072. Did I interrupt the good times you two had?
Elio was truly in a bad mood.
The ideal human relationship he thinks is this.
You must give in return and receive in words, or at least you must receive as much as you gave.
However, the relationship between himself and Fabian turned out to be the opposite.
Unlike him who became a sword beginner, he was not yet fluent in the common language of the continent.
Fabian, who had been expecting Elio’s congratulations, said with a shy expression.
“Squadron commander, isn’t using the body faster than using the head? That’s why, it’s not like I didn’t do my best.”
“Let’s talk about Fabian results. How long will I have to live with the help of artifacts?”
“Isn’t it uncomfortable because it’s a ring? And these days, the company commander’s expressiveness has improved a lot. It’s been a while since you didn’t say strange things that are hard to understand.”
“You mean it’s all because of you?”
“It can’t be. It means that the company commander’s continental common language has become very proficient. Aren’t you reading books to some extent now?”
“It’s not such a dramatic change that mana users become sword beginners.”
Elio held on to that part until the end.
Fabian stuck out his tongue, knowing that Elio absolutely hated losing money.
‘I shouldn’t even mention that I can imitate a sword expert with a dragon sword.’
At that resolution, Anna Logan carefully opened the veil and said,
“Hey Anna Logan. may I come in?”
“Oh, welcome.”
Elio pointed to an empty seat inside.
Ena Logan hurried inside and sat across from Elio.
“Today, I came to say thank you.”
“thanks?”
“Thanks to Baron Lagoa, I became the vice-captain.”
“yes?”
Elio looked at Anna Logan with bewildered eyes.
I’ve never even met the people of the Baylem Kingdom. Is it because of that?
“That’s actually…”
Anna Logan explained the situation of Countess Logan in Baylem Kingdom.
“…Duke Herbert Liberato sided with Count Logan because I was close to Baron Lagoa. Thanks to that, the issue of the successor that almost led to a civil war was sorted out, and I was promoted to the vice-captain of the Seletus Knights.”
“Ah, that’s…”
Elio nodded.
I didn’t know who Duke Herbert Liberato was, but I liked how quick-witted he was.
Meanwhile, Fabian, who had just become a sword beginner, showed interest in the sudden change in position.
“Then, did the vice-captain transfer to another unit?”
“no. I was just demoted to a knight.”
“Demotion? Aren’t you transferring?”
Fabian looked at Anna Logan with incomprehensible eyes.
I know her promotion was made for political reasons, but why demote an innocent vice-captain?
“Because the vice-captain was from the Emperor’s side, the relationship with me was a bit bad. I’m thinking maybe that’s why.”
“ah! Is it a consideration to take revenge in small ways? Duke Herbert Liberato is also quite interesting.”
“I heard rumors that he often greets people with unconventional greetings, but… it was strange that I became the target.”
“That’s a signal to our company commander. Please take a good look.”
“Yes, I think so too. So I’m here to say hello. Baron Lagoa said he didn’t have to come until he sent mana into his veins, but… he’s in a hurry.”
“ah! You did.”
Anna Logan and Fabian carried out the conversation well, giving and receiving whether the porridge was right.
Elio, who had been watching the conversation between the two, muttered inwardly.
‘I think we can just meet and talk separately…’
Fabian, noticing Elio’s gaze, quickly changed the topic.
“really! Sir Logan. The Baylem Kingdom will also have to be nervous.”
“why?”
In response to Anna Logan’s question, Fabian recounted a recent change in the rift.
“…So our company commander and Alpha company commander came to meet the staff. The Kingdom of Baylem would also do well to prepare for the invasion of the demons. isn’t it? Lieutenant Commander?”
At the unexpected words, Anna Logan looked at Baron Elio Lagoa with startled eyes.
“Is it true?”
“Your staff member said she would report to the superiors. Sooner or later, it will be delivered to the Baylem Kingdom as well.”
“But… it’s okay since Baron Lagoa and the other dukes are here, right?”
Elio shrugged at Anna Logan’s expectant words.
“I can’t guarantee that. The demons last time were weak and their numbers were small. Will the demons again wage a losing battle?”
“…”
Anna Logan’s shoulders drooped.
During Anakin’s last invasion, the Kingdom of Baylem suffered great damage.
It was gloomy to think that a demon tribe stronger than that would lead the demons and beasts.
Unlike the Kingdom of Escatos, which had two sword masters besides Baron Helio Lagoa, the Kingdom of Baylum had only one sword master.
Fabian said something to comfort me.
“If you feel like it’s dangerous, get away from us.”
“ha! I would like to, but the distance is far…
Elio agreed with her.
“you’re right. It would be safer to stay in the Baylem Kingdom.”
“If it doesn’t work out, run away alone. Have you not mastered the art of lightening your body yet? I don’t think it’ll be difficult to get rid of Sir Logan’s body if you use it.”
“Can I abandon the Knights to live alone?”
At Anna Logan’s words, Fabian licked his lips with an embarrassed expression.
Elio said a word to Fabian.
“Do you think everyone in the world is like you? That’s what you call a staff member. Tsk tsk!”
“No, why are you doing this to me? If you’re in a situation where you’re going to die without moving, do it. So should I just die?”
“Who wants to die?”
“I was talking about that as well.”
“But I think you will run away before the consequences come.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment for your excellent judgment of the situation. Listen carefully, Sir Logan. If you want to see the results clearly…. Don’t hold back and run alone.”
“I’ll refer to it.”
Anna Logan nodded bitterly.
Baron Elio Lagoa criticized Fabian, but he wasn’t sure how he would change if he did.
***
Even during the period when the Diva company was deployed to the forefront of the rift, the monsters did not come over the rift.
As the rift calmed down for as long as six days, the garrison was wrapped in tension.
But even if they knew, there was nothing humans could do.
The quieter the area around the rift, the heavier the atmosphere in the garrison became.
It wasn’t all bad news, though.
Three days later, on the day the Goliath Company was put into the forefront of the rift, the Raminov Kingdom army joined the Hirhera garrison.
With the joining of the Raminov Kingdom, the morale of the garrison temporarily rose.
That evening, Escatos and the Baylem Kingdom Army held a grand reception for the Raminov Kingdom Army.
The purpose was stronger to raise the atmosphere of the garrison that had recently sunk.
Hirhera Raminof Kingdom Army Welcome Hall.
Paradoxically, thanks to the silence of the rift, nobles gathered one after another into the banquet hall.
Instead of a tent, a magic field was used to block the wind, and the snowy field with fire stones burning everywhere was plausible as a banquet hall.
The banquet hall was divided into two groups.
The upper class is made up of great nobility, and the lower class is made up of barons.
Elio sat down where the barons had gathered and enjoyed a delectable feast.
Escatos and the Barons of the Baylem Kingdom, who knew his face, did not even breathe loudly.
However, the Barons of the Raminope Kingdom, who had always been at odds with the Kingdom of Escatos, flaunted themselves in front of the barons of the Kingdom of Escatos, who were intimidated.
“I am Baron Maxim Chekhov from the Kingdom of Raminov. Who are you from?”
“I am Baron Julie Greenwood of the Kingdom of Baylem.”
“wow! You’re still young, but you’ve already received your title. If beauty is about swordsmanship, then a baron can be called a sword master. I am the company commander of the Natsala Company, Raminov’s most elite unit. No way, a beauty like the baron wouldn’t be in charge of the frontline troops…” “
I’m in the Seletus Knights of the royal palace. Excuse me.”
Julie Greenwood left Baron Maxim Chekhov behind and approached Baron Helio Lagoa.
“Are you Baron Lagoa? I heard a lot. May I sit next to you for a moment?”
“Who are you?”
As Elio stared, Julie Greenwood hurriedly introduced herself.
“I am Baron Julie Greenwood of the Knights of Seletus.”
“Ah yes.”
Elio nodded his head dryly.
In fact, he didn’t know who she was because he wasn’t interested in the situation in Baylem Kingdom.
Even if I had known, I wouldn’t have cared.
In an instant, Baron Julie Greenwood’s face bloomed brightly.
She knew how Anna Logan and Baron Elio Lagoa met.
Anna Logan built a relationship simply by asking for directions.
Compared to that, the current situation at the banquet hall was rather better.
She sat next to Baron Helio Lagoa and worked diligently – like a maid serving on him.
When the glass was empty, he filled it with wine and peeled the shrimp.
Elio didn’t know why she did it, but he didn’t reject it.
Escatos and the Barons of Baylem Kingdom who were nearby glanced at each other with envious eyes.
They wanted to go next to Baron Elio Lagoa, but they didn’t have the confidence to put everything down like Baron Julie Greenwood, so they just looked at them from afar.
Men’s eyes are all the same.
Baron Igor Tikhonok of Raminov Kingdom, who had been eyeing Baron Julie Greenwood for a while, tapped Baron Maxim Chekhov on the elbow.
“Sir Maxim. Are you just going to watch?”
“The Count begged me not to get into an accident…”
“Is that so? Even at a glance, she looks like the most beautiful woman in the Hirhera Garrison… It’s a pity.”
“It’s not over yet, is it?”
Two people of similar age were talking to each other as if they were friends.
“But it is a little strange. I don’t think there’s much to see just by looking at her face… Why does a beauty of that level seem embarrassed? Are you good at night? Kuck!”
Baron Igor Tikhonok giggled even after he said it.
“A night job? Isn’t my nickname the wild horse that runs through the night? wait and see.”
Baron Maxim Chekhov raised his chin and strode towards the couple.
Baron Julie Greenwood, who was diligently peeling crayfish, raised her head.
“What is it?”
“Oh, I’m not here for a special business. It’s my first time with Hirhera, so everything is unfamiliar…”
“So?”
Baron Julie Greenwood’s eyes, which had been friendly, cooled down.
“I want to hear an explanation about Hirhera from Baron Greenwood. Did I interrupt the good times you two had?”
Baron Maxim Chekhov looked at the young man provocatively.
Elio, who felt burdened by Baron Julie Greenwood’s kindness, shook his head vigorously.
“Not at all. It’s not the kind of relationship you think it is. Please feel free to talk.”
Elio even pushed a plate of crayfish that Baron Julie Greenwood had worked so hard on to a man who seemed to be an aristocrat from the kingdom of Raminov.
