Chapter 109 (2/2)

If I knew what I was doing, I would have noticed it sooner. Even if you regret it will change nothing. I hold out the hand to my wife again

“You do not have to walk behind that way, let's walk side-by-side”

“But my mother taught me that it was a wife's duty, was it wrong?”

“It's not a mistake. In some places, that would be the right answer. And … …… I simply want to walk with Liz. Is it useless?”

“N… No, it isn't useless.”

Even if Liz was shy to say it straight, she nodded diligently and turned red 'til the ear lobe. She gladly grabbed the left hand I gave her.

Her small palms are soft and slender like autumn maple leaves. The heat of Liz' face that has turned red moved up to my cheeks.

“He, he, he, It would be nice to walk around town like this.”

“When this quest is over, we will hold hands and see the city.”

“Yes, I am looking forward to it.”

She seems happy and shy. The sight is unbearably lovely and pretty. No matter how you look at our exchanges, it will be a honeymoon lovey-dovey couple's interaction. This time, I feel shy.

“Young master, lady, it is a turn left, not a straight line”

Because I was walking with a smile with Liz, I pa.s.sed the corner to turn. s.h.i.+a in a maid figure waiting behind puts calmly a tsukkomi.

If she wasn't there, we would not have arrived at the Chrysanthemum Knights' headquarters. We were able to arrive at the headquarters late morning.

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

The Chrysanthemum Knight order headquarters was built in the north side of the city, near the wall surrounding the town. In the East and West entrance, there are many people because of the pa.s.sage of goods. Commercial areas and residential areas are concentrated in the north and south entrance.

The northern part is not popular and has very few traffic. Thanks to that, walls are built to surround the headquarters. I expected that the training s.p.a.ce would be enough if it was so large.

The gate was open, so we went in without permission. We were seen pa.s.sing through by the dwellers, but I was not warned.

At the Dragon Man Continent Adventurers' guild, I heard the story that the Chrysanthemum Knights Headquarters open the gates to listen to the people at any time. It seems to be true.

It also seems to have a role as a “police box” of my previous life's word, such as to give guidance on the street, entrust lost children and lost items.

If you cross the gate, you will find a stone building on your right. There seems to be a ground spreading on the left. It is like an elementary school or junior high school in j.a.pan.

“There! The swing of the hand is delayed! Move the sword according to the surroundings!”

“Yes!”

“Do 100 swings more! Have a fighting spirit and begin!”

“Yes! ”

At the direction of a woman who seems to be one instructor, about 20 girls start to swing a sword that crushed the blade.

The height of the woman who seemed to be an instructor was high, and since she cuts her hair short, it further complements her manly expression. The ears are round beast ears, small b.r.e.a.s.t.s, the limbs are thin and long instead.

According to the “1, 2, 3 -” shouts, it is spectacular that the girl swings the sword with undisturbed movement.

When such a woman notices us, the sharp gaze that was aimed at the girls seemed like a lie and directed a friendly smile to me.

“Are you an adventurer?　The adventure Guild is not in the north entrance, but in the south entrance on the other side.”

(Huh?)

While I feel uncomfortable, I reply with a business smile.

“No, we are from Legion Peacemaker. we rushed Mr. Gharma's request, special advisor to the Chrysanthemum Knights, Is there adviser Gharma?”

“- So, you guys”

As soon as we reveal our true ident.i.ty, her gaze turns blatantly cold. I don't know why. She turns her back to us.

“You keep moving. When the number of times is over, disband!”

In addition, she gives instructions to the girl who was walking the corridor at the back with a bunch of doc.u.ments.

“Deputy leader Layara!　Please supervise while I am away!”

“Ye, yes!”

The girl who has wings with a texture like a hawk stretches the spine with a “pin!” The woman nods at the reaction and looks back to us.

“Come with me, the advisor will be waiting.”

To tell the truth, she leads in a moody way.

Liz and I did not see each other and followed silently.
