Time passes slowly in the barracks. So, soldiers with dignity have their own routine to endure those boring times.
So was the sentry.
Alumni of Frantimo.
The sentry was chatting under the bright moonlight. Then, he urged his subordinate, who had stopped talking at a point that was going to be interesting.
“therefore. What did she say?”
“Me, over there. Me, what is that?”
“Kick. you smoke Does that woman look like a total novice? Did you?”
“No, sentinel. over there… . Isn’t that a person?”
“Eh? … What are you talking about?”
“You said there were no people to return today.”
The sentry chief tilted his head before looking in the direction his subordinate pointed. There was someone who trudged across the moonlit grass.
‘Returner?’
It’s very rare, but it does happen. A soldier who fell out of a campaign a long time ago and returns only after a long time has passed.
Before long, the sentry commander struggled to recall his original mission.
It couldn’t have been his duty to spend the night chatting with his subordinates.
Like an official, he hurriedly picked up his crossbow, which he had placed on the woman’s wardrobe.
“stop! goblin!”
Opponent didn’t answer.
He raised his head and looked towards the sentry. The clock was dark, so I couldn’t recognize the opponent’s face, but there were traces of the Imperial Army all over his body.
If you consider the sloppily patched armor, boots with one foot missing, and the helmet with the forehead protector removed, it’s the imperial army.
The sentry commander said while holding the crossbow on his right shoulder in an upright position.
“Give me the phrase! goblin!”
The sentry chief hoped that the opponent would use the secret word quickly. If your opponent doesn’t answer ‘tinker’, you’ll have to fire your crossbow.
However, the answer that came back was a little unusual.
“Cheer up. Chap!”
The other person pointed to his face and seemed to be explaining something eagerly. There was not a word he could understand among them, so his first day as a sentry froze.
“Ji, really Yu, isn’t it a ghost?”
“Where is the ghost making the sound of footsteps?”
“Yeah, but why is your voice like that?”
“Don’t be afraid, you coward!”
You make me tremble for no reason
The sentry chief punched the subordinate soldier in the head once and then spoke.
“Hey, are you in a situation where it’s difficult to talk?”
The opponent nodded. The sentry then picked up a torch hanging on the wall and dropped it right in front of the gate. The torch, which was lowered by gravity, landed on a grassless area.
“Take off your helmet, lift up your torch and show your face.”
Most monsters can be identified only by their faces. The opponent who walked over and picked up the torch did as the sentry chief said. I gathered the disheveled fan with my feet, put it in the perch, and picked it up.
Then the sentry chief and his subordinates found out. Why did the other party say something strange instead of a password?
“Hey, this. Are you hurt?”
The opponent didn’t have a lower jaw that was supposed to be nestled under the tongue. When the opponent nodded silently, the sentry chief and the soldier hurriedly descended the stairs. Then he opened the gate.
woo woo woo-
When the castle wall opened, the opponent’s figure was revealed. Bondi seemed to be a good person, but the tired look was clear. Since the rank could not be confirmed, the sentry chief decided to treat him with respect.
“this… . How many times have you worn it? And you brought… What is it? It’s not a corpse, is it?”
What the sentinel pointed out was the sack that hung long behind his back.
“I will transfer as per my duty, but there is still a procedure… Please open it.”
The opponent nodded. The opponent put his hand into the sack and kindly revealed the identity of what he had brought.
In a way the sentinel didn’t want.
“Cheup.”
It happened in an instant. It didn’t even make audible sound. Blood was pouring from the sentinel’s mouth, but he couldn’t immediately understand what had happened to him.
When he lowered his head, he could see his stomach pierced by the lance.
“Bo, sentinel-front!”
Kkakjik-
The fang’s hand gripped the soldier’s neck. Now that the castle gate is open, you can reveal your true colors.
he said in an indistinct tone.
“Find Saramul and see you later.”
“Buy, buy people-”
“Look for salad, later. Johan Nesperz.”
Anger with a clear purpose does not run amok. The canine patiently repeated the same words, and the soldier who understood his words spoke urgently.
“Are you an executive?”
The dragon soldier shook his head, recalling the situation he had met with Yohan.
“It’s a student.”
“Ha, if you’re looking for a student, just look at the flag, the dormitory crab, and the bulletin board!”
As an Imperial Army, there was no sense of shame in providing information to the enemy. However, the spear that pierced his boss also pierced his sense of shame.
“Where is the Gesippa?”
“Yes Yes? oh There is a bulletin board in each flag and dormitory. In the back lot.”
“How do you live in a dormitory?”
“Oh, it’s easy to recognize! All 12-story buildings are dormitories!”
I heard everything I needed. The fangs twisted the soldier’s neck as it was in its grasp. The soldier, who let out a choked scream, slumped on the floor like a straw doll.
The dragon soldier looked at the two soldiers who had already become corpses with contempt.
An army composed of only such people.
Did you kill your father
I feel neither dignity nor wisdom.
He was no fool, nor was he a good man who would protect chivalry from the cowardly.
And John has already insulted confrontation with him.
He looked at the open castle gate and felt his empty chin.
Perhaps he could have tried to open the gates by using his lance as a battering ram. But doing so would cause too much fuss.
The best way is to catch one of the imperial soldiers and make them blow the password, but they couldn’t meet even the living imperial soldiers, let alone those who knew the password.
So he made this choice. Finding the corpses of the Imperial Army in the eastern plains and disguising their outfits. And to rip one’s own jaw and make it impossible to give a password.
As a result, he was able to break into Frantimo’s castle now.
“Koo woo woo woo… .”
The fangs chilled his head, clearing away the murderous intent that was deeply seated in his bones. He wiped the blood from the window sill over the soldier’s corpse. Then he climbed onto the wall where the sentry was originally located.
As I heard, the barracks located in Frantimo were gigantic.
But he had unusually good eyesight, and he could see the buildings of the academy at a glance.
Of course he knows how to count.
There were a total of four 12-story buildings.
He started moving again.
***
“Whose room is this?”
“Yes, it’s Sabaki. It will be empty for a while.”
“okay.”
Arien, who was sitting on the bed, said with a faint smile.
“Tell the dean, shall I come over here?”
I stared blankly at Arien.
she added.
“Dear Mr. Bastia, I have heard some things. About the physiology of the academy.”
“What did the teacher say?”
“When you become a wizard, you gain autonomy in deciding where to live.”
That’s not wrong. It would be a good example that Hamma Crescendo, the wizard of architecture, was located in the eastern plains.
But I shook my head.
“no.”
“Why?”
It was because of Bastia’s characteristics. As long as he remains a teacher at the academy, he exudes an aura that grows those around him.
I chose a common sense answer rather than ‘because you have to grow up to be a wizard.’
“This is the boys’ dormitory.”
Arien’s head tilted slightly to the side. Her long black hair was disheveled, exposing her shoulders.
I smiled bitterly at the clusters of grapes left on her body.
“You haven’t erased that yet? You won’t need it anymore.”
“John.”
“why.”
“John, do you have a lover?”
“… Why are you asking?”
“Jeong Yo-han, is that Jeong In-nim’s nickname?”
Maybe my face frowned a little. Before I asked back, she explained it first.
“The first day you came here, you said that. Please wake me up with that name in the morning.”
“Ahh.”
“Are you divorced?”
It is true that the end of her and me was a bereavement. It wasn’t Miri who died, it was me.
I shrugged and said.
“I don’t want to talk.”
“… Do I look like him?”
I sighed and turned away from Arien.
Where else is this a sudden love flag?
I wasn’t looking at her, but I could feel her tension behind my back.
Does this guy know that even at this moment, there is a murderous mass searching for me roaming the academy?
As I sensed from [the smell of death], the canine went to building B first and then came downstairs.
And the dormitory building below building B is here, building C.
“Let me make one thing clear. There is no one like her in the world. Even before. In the future.”
“is that so.”
I wanted to say something more impactful, but my nerves were focused on the fangs and it was impossible.
I hope that Arien’s feelings can be broken down by the main character’s iron wall. Because the unwritten rule of ‘dating has a bad ending’, which is the basis for ‘Savior from Another World’, might apply to her as well.
And before long, Salg became a guest in this dormitory.
“I heard the door crack open.”
It’s a start.
I took a deep breath and squeezed the [Arms of Justice] tightly.
“He’ll come up. Point your hand in the direction.”
Arien did just that.
Her fingertips moved a little, and the direction began to rise little by little.
“Your heart sound is unusual… . I’m coming up the stairs now… . I just passed the second floor.”
It is more than 50 meters from here to the first floor. I was a little surprised that I could hear that heartbeat.
“Keep talking.”
“yes… . 3rd Floor… 4th floor… 5th floor… . Other times, they seem to be walking with muffled footsteps.”
I nodded.
‘He was thinking of assassinating me.’
Holding up the [Arms of Justice], I calmly catch my breath. Then, look back at the setting of the two dragon soldiers that appear in this worldview.
The fanciful and romantic swordsman, Hidesolau’s molar.
Meticulous and brutal spearmen, Hidesolau’s fangs.
Both of them are enemies that I can never defeat in a head-to-head match. As I have already experienced through [Simulation], an enemy that cannot be dealt with even with the fraudulent weapon [Mulcan’s Sword].
And I can briefly summarize the reason.
First of all, because I’m not a ‘prosecutor’.
“The 11th floor… 12th floor! I am now breaking down and walking to John’s room.”
I am the one who designed and created the beginning and end of this world. There is no reason why I cannot cope with the variables of the scenario as variables. Sabaki’s room is right below mine, and he’s supposed to be in the hospital.
I stare at the [Arms of Justice], thinking of a weapon to defeat the fangs. Then it distorted again like kneaded clay. The two raised protrusions are reduced, and the bow-shaped handle is extended while maintaining its shape.
“Turn the handle… open the door… I’m in!”
By the time Arien’s finger, which had been moving, pointed directly above her head, the [Arm of Justice] had transformed into a large bow.
The reason why this is a mythical weapon.
This weapon can be transformed into any weapon that existed at the time.
And Johan Espertz’s specialty is [archery].
I put two fingers on the string and gently pulled the bowstring. There was no need to fire an arrow. When he pulled the bowstring to the end of his chin, a long, white light hung over the string.
Arien seemed a little startled by the light that was casting on her face.
“John? what is that?”
“I will explain later. Keep pointing in the direction.”
Arien did just that. It probably pointed towards my bed. I said softly.
“Goodbye, Fang.”
In front of this bow, even the floor of a building cannot be used as cover.
I let go of the bowstring.
Then, in the direction Arien’s fingertips were aiming at, a ray of light like a thunderbolt spread out.
