Chapter 41 Part1 (1/2)

“Uwahhh,”

I'm surprised by the sudden appearance of the patrolmen Ruiseine and the demon also look surprised

“Fufu, so Ernea wasn't aware of the that out is a bit frustrating I've trained and becoht I was able to notice the presence of others There's no helping it if I miss one or tith e nu patrolmen

“Fufuun, did Mistral-ojou-san noticed them?”

Ludriad-san seeht not just be ordinary soldiers

Mistral only suys are my assistants[1] All of theht even be stronger than all of them”

Ludriad-san lets out a strained smile as he surveys the patrolmen They approach without any needless uys I will introduce all of you, so how about joining the national armed force? It comes with three meals and an afternoon nap I elcome you with luxurious treat serious with his proposal, it's hard to tell Regardless,

Mistral politely refuses him

“No, I'm not interested in thesoldiers, not a member of the national ar soldiers are not part of the national ardo the roads The national armed forces, however, serve as the army and deal with national threats The system of command system is completely different

Even if Ludriad-san introduces us, he is the platoon leader of the patrolling soldiers I don't think a platoon leader's recoh for us to enter the army

“My, what a sharetful though Instead, he's indifferent The demon at his feet is tied up and placed on a stretch, yet all he does is yawn Where did the vigor he had when he questioned the deo? Before anyone realized, Ludriad-san adopted a lazy attitude

“Now then, how about leaving this toso, Ludriad-san heads for the path we took here

“Please wait, I have so to do before that”

Yet, Mistral stops the stretcher transporting the derave expression, she questions hi this country? There's no way you're passing through the Dragon's Peak”

That's right I coon tribesmen have an awful relationshi+p with each other There is no way deon's Peak Did they coh somewhere else?

However, the demon's reply is really unexpected

“I see, you… I caon tribeson tribesmen are a monolith”

The demon seems to have realized Mistral's identity, but he doesn't voice it Instead, he tells us so

Mistral's eyes widen in surprise The deets carried away

“Mistral”

I gently placea bit

“No, you can ask for a detailed account once we return Let's just hurry back and get a drink”

“No, no, we're still h I'm worried about Mistral, she only sht, just a bit surprised I'll return to Dragon's Peak and consult with the villagers about this”

Mistral whispers in a voice low enough only I can hear her

“Now, Priscilla, until ill you stay like that? We are returning”

Mistral nudges Priscillchan

That's right, I forgot about Priscillchan! She is still ridged in the sarip the top of her hat to cover her ears Even her eyes are squeezed shut

“Nnood”

Before Ludriad-san started his torture, Mistral had the foresight to prevent Priscillchan froh She then takes Mistral's hand for the trip back
