38-Request for cooperation with the Knights (2/2)

Eleanor's shoulders jumped as she purred like a cat. When she turned around and noticed us, her cheeks turned red.

”......, did you see that?

”See what?

”...... I was talking to the kitten.

You had a very gentle expression on your face. You looked like a mother to that kitten. You're not the same person as the Ice Princess with the sword in her hand.

”......? !

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. Hmm ....... It's over. I can't live like this anymore.

”There's nothing to be ashamed of,” I said. I thought the look you were giving the kitten was charming.

”Charming, ......?

Oh.

...... Oh, yeah. I'm not a simple woman to be taken seriously. I'm going to play that over and over in my head before I go to bed.

Eleanor says with a cough.

She seemed to be taking it very seriously.

”...... You said you were looking for me earlier.

Oh. Eleanor. I have a favor to ask you.

”What do you want from me?

I explained the situation to Eleanor.

The city will soon be invaded by demons. I'd like to ask for the Knights' help, but Gregor has turned me down.

”I see. That's why you asked me, the vice commander.

Eleanor said.

”It's true that I have discretionary power, so I can move quite a few people on my own, if not the entire Order.

”Then--

But only if it's based on my own judgment. If Gregor finds out that I responded to the guard's request, he won't be quiet.

Eleanor looked at me with a glare.

I'm not sure what to do. ...... Do you still request my help even though you know that?

Yeah. Yes.

I grabbed Eleanor by both shoulders.

But, Eleanor. You're all I've got.

I'm the only ......?

No one else. You're the only one I can ask.

No, don't look at me like that. That's a foul .......

Eleanor flinched and looked away. Her usual bravado was not there. Her body shrunk uncomfortably.

”...... Oh, if you're so sure. I'd be happy to help.

Really?

...... Yes. But if that means I have to quit the Order, you'll have to take responsibility for that.

Don't worry. I won't let that happen.

...... So, yeah. Well, as for me, I'd like you to take the blame for quitting the Order. ......

”Hey, this guy. Isn't he too cute?

You've got the face of a female. The Ice Princess has no choice.

Shh!

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Now we will be able to meet Nacht and the others in perfect condition.
