172 Episode 172 "After" Rookie Training "and" White Wings "that Connect Master and Slave".txt (1/2)

Before we listen to you. Are Iris and Raphilia safe?

I asked, making eye contact with the lord who sat down.

''We can talk about the other stuff later. First, tell me how Iris and Raphilia are doing.

They are safe at ......

The lord finally said just that.

''Iris and the maid, an elf girl, are near the scene to resolve the problem. The regular soldiers are guarding them, so there should be no problem.

...... I see.

That's good. That's all I was worried about.

As long as the two of you are safe, we can do whatever we want with the rest.

'So what do you mean by 'I need help' ......?

There was an accident in the middle of the incoming Lord Royeld's 'rookie training': ......

The lord began to speak incessantly.

''Rookie training'' - is that what was written on the parchment I saw earlier?

”In place of Iris's exiled brother, we have decided to hold a 'rookie training' for the next lord Royeld, who has been adopted, to have him realize that he is the next lord. Specifically...

Getting up early and shouting at the beach, reciting slogans-or rather, the goals of the port city?

Did Iris tell you that?

No, it's information from the original world.

Another was that they would sleep and wake up with the lord's helpers to create a sense of togetherness. There was also one in which they would encourage each other to walk long distances in solidarity.

And then there was the one where we all renounced our names, called each other by our symbols, and then denied everything we knew about each other in order to rebuild our personalities.

...... Does that make sense?

And that last one is too bad by all accounts.

My aide insists on proceeding.

The lord scratched his head in annoyance.

'Well, it was called off due to Illith's objections.

I know.

Iris has heard about the black jobs in my world, too. There's no way she'd agree to such training.

It's just that my aide took the liberty of running 'training to increase cooperation by increasing the sense of urgency on the old tower': ......

The Lord of Ilgafa gave a very long sigh.

He later confirmed that it was a training introduced to him by another acquaintance of a merchant who had dealings with the lord's family.

But, the lord's assistant had already arranged the training.

Iris had told him to cancel it, but the aide had been told by the 'training coordinator' that there would be a cancellation fee if he cancelled everything. But the assistant said that the 'training coordinator' told him that if he cancelled everything, he would have to pay a cancellation fee, but he agreed to pay the cancellation fee if he carried out at least one training program.

And before Iris or her lord realized it, they decided to call it 'the lord's order' and sent the next lord's boy to the training program...

It's been a big accident.

...... acha.

Me, Cecil and Aine held our foreheads in unison.

I've heard something like this before in the original world ....... I've heard it said that they used a backhanded technique to reduce the damage to zero, and it was a big burn .......

Really, it was just supposed to be about spending time on top of a high tower to improve coordination ......

Is there a powerful demon in the house?

...... Are you sure you haven't heard from Iris?

I haven't heard.

But if even the regular soldiers can't handle it, even Iris and Raphilia can't handle it, that's all I can think of.

But now I understand why Iris and the others couldn't come over here.

Iris, you're so responsible, you can't just leave your work alone in such a state. ......

'What's the situation?'

I blinked at Cecil and Aine.

”Just this once, we'll help you in secret.

...... Oh.

However, there are three conditions. When this case is over, Iris and the others must be given a long leave of absence this time, no questions asked. And...

Find out who the aide and the person who proposed the training - the training coordinator - are behind it.

This one is just a precaution.

Lastly, we are only here to support Iris and the others. They get paid accordingly.

I said.

The lord nodded.

Alright, we'll do what we want from here on out. Our purpose is to support Iris and Rafilia's - and their families. The next lord on top of the tower, Royeld, has to be rescued, and the person who was the assistant to the lord who caused so much trouble...........................I hope that person lives.

Then come along with me, Cecil and Aine.

I turned to them both and said.

'I'm sure Iris and Raphilia would love to see you both, and they might miss Aine's food, too.

Yes. Mr. Nagi.

Yeah. I'm going to make you a good meal.

Cecil and Aine nodded.

The rest...

”'Ritgon', can you help me with that?

”Woof, woof, woof!

Ritogon” flaps around and climbs on my shoulder. He is very motivated. We've already experimented with Ritogon's fast movement speed. I'm sure that if you use it a little more cheekily, it will be useful in this job.

”Then, you are now free to use all of your functions. ”Rito-Gon

I touched 'Ritogon''s chest and my left arm.

First of all, let's get in touch with Iris and Rafilia as soon as possible.

I'm worried about their mental health as well.

I'll tell them to clean up the case together with you and go have some fun.

[Interpretation] - Iris's POV.

How dare Iris keep her brother waiting: ......

Iris murmured to herself outside a tent in the forest.

This was in the forest, about two hours' walk from Ilgafa.

There was a small path beneath her feet, leading up into the mountains.

At the end of it was an old tower. It was built before the Kingdom of League Nadal was established, and was used as a watchtower by the small kingdoms that were around here.

But now it has been completely abandoned, and even the stone walls are crumbling.

It was only a few days ago that Iris's father - a woman who is an assistant to the Ilgafa Lord - proposed to use this place for the 'Next Lord Roi Eld's Newcomer Training Session'. Iris should have conveyed her objections through her father, but before she knew it, the training was being carried out.

On the top floor of the tower, there should be an assistant woman and the next lord's boy, Royeld, on the top floor of the tower.

I don't know why the aide woman believed the unknowable opponent, 'Education Coordinator', who came from the King's Landing.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

Though Iris doesn't understand that way of thinking anymore: ......

Iris isn't interested in career aspirations or fame, she's not interested in those things.

What she is interested in...

Pop, pop, pop.

”...... ha.

Iris tapped her chest and sighed somewhat.

'Cecil-sama has taught me some exercises to make my breasts bigger ...... but I don't know how well they work for me.

When you meet up with your brother, you'll bump into him in the bath.

─ And you'll see the difference from when you had a bath together before: .......

Hmmm. Iris nodded.

'But first, we have to solve this case: ......

I don't know. Mr. Iris.

Rafilia, standing next to me, is also looking up at the tower with a troubled face.

Inside the tent, the captains of the regular soldiers (Seiichihei) should be discussing ways to resolve the situation.

''Anyway, there's nothing we can do if we don't get Royeld out of there.

The question is, how are we going to pull off the ”Greater Land Viper,” that giant land snake?

Iris and Raphilia sighed in unison.

'............ sasu...... kete. Ryoshu-samaa......

A faint cry came from the window of the tower.

Probably from an aide.

The only exits to the tower are the top floor window and the door on the first floor.

However, the door is blocked.

'Shush.' 'Shush, shush.' 'Shush, shush.' 'Shush, shush.' ......

””...... wow.”

Iris and Rafilia frowned at the cries that came from around the tower.

Even from here, they could clearly see the (・・・・・・・) ”Greater Land Viper,” the giant land snake that was wrapped around the tower.

Green scales, red eyeballs, and a wide open mouth. And a wide open mouth.

Each one of them was several times as large as an adult's height. The thickness of the moving bodies was also about that much.

There were more than ten of them wrapped around the tower of the 'New Recruit Training Center'.

The exit and windows are blocked by the body of the snake. ......

You shouldn't make eye contact. Earlier, when the regulars tried to threaten you, you tried to bring the wall down.

Royeld and his team are in a watchtower built nearly 100 years ago.

It has not been maintained or repaired in recent years.

It's a relief that the grating on the windows is solid, but other than that it's in tatters.

If the 'giant land snake' is provoked, the tower could collapse.
