Chapter 108 (1/2)
The unveiling display two days away, the main street of the capital was lively
The newbie dragoons walked boldly down that rowdy main street They didn't particularly intend to put on air, but they were elites, and the dragoons recognized as the heroes of the country
Showing humility and servility was also a problem
Within that group, Rudel was in high spirits Saas, who often spoke to hi
”You're in quite a good mood, Rudel Since the vice-captain called you out to reht you'd be down”
Saas was atheir colleagues, he was the closest to Rudel Despite the hatred that occasionally escaped his mouth, he was a man orried for his coether, Rudel had noticed it
”You can tell? The truth is, it looks like the flight formation matter ork itself out We can't do any acrobatics, but I'm sure you'll be surprised”
Recalling his conversation with Mystith, Rudel sues, Saas included, seemed relieved to see a satisfied Rudel
His dragon had run away once, and they had been worried she would run away again
Gathering the eyes of the people- especially theby on the oon dogfight, she began to treat hiood friend She would often invite him out for lunch on their days off, and the distance between the in
Such an Enora was a tad bothered by the ruckus of the main road
”What's wrong, Enora? Do you dislike a festive air?”
As Rudel directed his eyes at Enora, his other colleagues' eyes gathered on her as well For better or worse, Rudel had beco of a leader to the new recruits
This was probably related to his partner Sakuya's official rule over the dragon stables
Rather than the other eyes, receiving a look from Rudel caused Enora to deny it in a bit of a panic
”I don't particularly hate it, but when it gets to this level, entering a store will be dreadful They're all fully occupied by the new knight recruits from all over the place”
Enora said, as she directed her eyes to a nearby shop Sure enough, the pub-ish shops facing theknights It wasn't particularly a bad thing Around this time of year in the royal capital, one could call this scenery a harbinger of the season
But the dragoons couldn't drink toulation… or rather, it was an order from Oldart
'When I can't play around, to hell with the new recruits having fun on their own I' all alcohol on the day before the expo!'
The new recruits couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious But it definitely was bad for the dragoons to be hungover during an important display They accepted that
”It looks like most of the shops that serve alcohol are full”
Rudel , when Luxheidt made a proposal When it came to these ues
Enora knew a few famous stores in the capital, but when it came to bars, that was outside her area of expertise
”I thought thisthis and that from our superiors”
”As expected of our Brahms and Liszt head”
”Eh? That's what I' committee”
As Luxheidt returned a joke to Saas' cynicisoons, the surrounding passersby seemed perplexed
”That aside, they're always crowded around this tih-class shop They have good service to start with, and they're rarely filled up, they say”
The drunk knights of the outskirts often picked fights with the elite dragoons It felt idiotic to have to waste time every tioods
”If it's too expensive…”
While Saas seemed reluctant, Luxheidt explained away
”A dragoon can't quite go to a cheap place, right? Fro your status And look, our salary is nothing to laugh out”
Right, a dragoon's salary was truly high Rudel didn't really pay it any ht-class families, nobles in name alone, like Saas and Luxheidt, it was an unbelievable sum
”No, I get that”
Rudel looked over Saas' reluctance with a s most of his money home In contrast, Luxheidt was in a position where he didn't have to pay s
”Let's listen to Luxheidt here Lest we spend precious ti for a shop”
As Rudel directed them towards Luxheidt's opinion, everyone accepted and started off towards a fah-class pub
Before the unveiling in two days' time, Cattleya had dropped by her superior Lilim
Originally, she wanted to sub But Lilim stopped her with a smile that wouldn't take no for an answer
Cattleya's platoon was a part of Liliainst her orders More than that, Lili the responsibility of Rudel's case shoved onto her
In an office those of Major rank could use, Cattleya was helping out with paperwork She accepted the fact she had foisted off the responsibility, and felt sorry about it But her dissatisfaction escaped her mouth
”Aah, I was planning to go drinking, you know”
Every time Cattleya finished up a form, a complaint would cothe end of her patience, Lilim warned her
”Cattleya, could you give it a rest already? You understand that a majority of these docuht?”
Lili her pitch black eyes
”Is that so? But in the end, the vice-captain took responsibility, right? Then shouldn’t that be the end of it?”
”… Right In the end, the vice-captain did indeed take responsibility But the work you pushed onto o away!”
”Taking responsibility is the responsibility of the one responsible, Major”
To Cattleya's attitude as she closed up that conversation and picked up her next for fist If she was up to it, Cattleya was capable of work More than that, she was able to complete paperwork on Lilim's level
She just didn't, which made it all the worse
… Once the forms were done with, Lilim poured Cattleya some tea She felt it would be too aard to just drive her away like that The topic of conversation turned to the new recruits
”So do we have any pro kids?”
”… Four of theive off a real ruffian feel A rebellious one and a light one, I guess”
As she thought over the two of them, Cattleya recalled Oldarts face Their captain Oldart, if Cattleya had her say, was a ruffian as well
”I see, so it looks like four will be able to add to our main force”
Lilim muttered as she drank the tea she put out Unlike Cattleya, she was a long-lived elf Of course, that held an advantage of having a long period over which she could work The core of the dragoon brigade had high hopes for her
While the two of them carried out a serious conversation, when the topic of Enora ca
”More iirl! That breast monster, lately she's been on the attack when it co toJust the other day, she clung onto him, you know”
”… That really is a probleade”
