Voluo!”

Varte had a blatant rebellious face on as he was suddenly being yelled at without a chance to explain hi to?” but uttering that erous, so he revised his reply

“If you're talking about Phineas, then he's currently outside collecting Iguros' remains Of course, he should have already received the Commander's permission”

“Then why hasn't he returned; the sun'd already set! Don't play duive hiht after he returned to the barracks Shall I send someone to check?”

“I said that he hadn't coius' voice rapped in an ominous echo Varte was clearly tense

“In that case, perhaps he wasn't able toand is currently sleeping outside?”

“Cut it out!!”

Dirgius shouted and threw the nearby wax board Varte promptly raised his arm and blocked it

“That boy's fae have also disappeared If this ain't a planned desertion, I don't knohat is! And you knew this and helped 'em! Spill it Where is he!?”

“I did have soht desert”

Varte answered honestly, picked up the wax board, and returned it back to the desk That aloof attitude ius continually squint his eyes, insecure But Varte didn't falter

“I had thought that I didn't need to worry about hi It appears that I have ed him However, Commander, he was only a soldier who hadn't received forhting potential Surely, losing hi out frorabbed Varte's collar, lifting him up

“Did'ja honestly think I was clueless 'bout the rumors that the boy holds so punk!”

Dirgius pushed Varte away and kicked the floor If thison top of the desk would probably be thrown to the ground Varte watched the cory outburst with a sober look, but he just stared in wonder as the man continued to scream

“He stole a child from my nephew's place! He threwhim here!”

Varte almost let out a surprised voice but quickly sed it back He hadn't heard anything about a child fro unnecessary,” Varte stifled the groan to the back of his eous story However, if you want to know his destination, I ?' You've been known about it!”

“It's not like I clearly heard it, Co at every chance that he wanted to go back to Nanais Although he and his group couldn't return by the about the condition of his ho at his job The ruardless of a dragon or not, if he had obtained so on it to return back to his home in the north”

Varte said sius' head had cooled down a little before continuing on

“If you are going to pursue hiuide you, since we're fairly faain, I'm not sure how far we can chase him or what he had obtained As such, I would like to request the appropriate amount of food and a platoon to be deployed”

“…What are you planning?”

“Nothing to note, really,” Varte played dued his shoulders “I know that you hadn't taken this matter seriously before, Coe of the northern main road while I'm there; it would be best to push the Beasts of Darkness even the s around the walls at night has becohtful task Ah, but if this does not please you, feel free to rephrase it as cleaning up the vagrants and bandits”

“This little scoundrel”

Dirgius grit his teeth and groaned Varte was obedient and silent, but there were curses being violently thrown around in his head If stubbornness and foolishness are considered evil, then yeah, surely I won't stand a chance against your big-shot attitude

In any case, Varte's plan succeeded Dirgius i, Varte dispatched a party in pursuit

“Look there, signs of a fire being used This may only be a pretext, but it really does seem like they were here Plus…there are footprints And they continue north”

Locating the traces of a sround, as if to say, “Told ya so” The scattered footsteps left behind by several people ether at the main road The captain of the pursuit tearoup to head out again

Varte and his subordinates allowed the leader, whose only thoughts were to quickly catch the escapee and return back to the town, to walk ahead of the around the back They continued forhile pretending to search their surroundings without , a soldier from the rear of the platoon went over to the acquaintance with a sarcastic grin
