The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 35

35 – The person who has to repay the favor

“That… Are you sure?”

“That’s right, since you guys are so against it, I’ve decided to make a concession just this time. I think thank you.”

General Gates speaks in an arrogant voice.

Regarding this,

Franklin and Benelita felt deeply relieved.

‘It was almost a big deal. I’ve succeeded in building the cause of justice so far, but it’ll be troublesome if it collapses like this.’

‘thank god… With this, the worst situation that our rebels might be isolated diplomatically can be avoided.’

Although it may not be obvious, the moral cause was bound to be of great help at the crucial moment.

Just looking at the situation of the rebels this time, they were making a strong case for pursuing freedom against the ’empire that massacred the innocent’.

Thanks to this, he was able to gain great support from the militia, including Jane.

That way, Benelita feels relieved that she didn’t create a situation where she could have suffered a huge loss even after winning a big victory.

On the other hand, Franklin also had a similar idea, but

In her mind, there were more issues related to this, one step ahead.’

‘I’m not sure of anything yet… Perhaps through this, we can create an opportunity to turn the situation around for sure. I can’t believe what he said, but… ‘

In any case, I was relieved that the urgent fire was immediately extinguished with this.

Franklin naturally began to think of the face of the man who had helped her again.

‘finally… I got help again this way… It was something a person like me couldn’t do no matter how hard he tried. do it again like this… ‘

With that thought in mind, Franklin suddenly recalled the conversation he had had with him a few days ago, and once again began to smile inwardly.

‘Someday I’ll repay the favor… what’s this… Rather, I am the one who has to repay the favor. I get help every time like this.’

While feeling so reassured, on the other hand, feeling the burden of the ever-increasing debt of the heart,

Franklin began to make up her mind again about what she had been thinking about.

It was something I really didn’t want to do,

Nevertheless, about what she must do to pay off this debt at all.

The contents of the information window in front of you.

checking it out,

I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of relief.

Although the exact inside story is still unknown, it is a reassuring part that it passed the fact that in many ways it was something of a rice cake.

Thinking that I had escaped the situation that was considered a crisis, my gaze soon turned to another unknown skill given as a guarantee for this quest.

‘It’s a voice from heaven… What is this again?’

From the point of view of a passive skill, it was highly likely that it would basically give something like a buff, but it was unknown what kind of effect it would have before opening the lid.

‘no way… Is this something that can only be used by compulsory prayer like God’s representative on earth, or something like that? I wish it wasn’t possible… ‘

The effect was clear, and I actually benefited from it, but it was a subtle skill that I couldn’t adapt to in many ways.

Hoping it wasn’t that kind of skill, I began to carefully check the contents, as if I were opening a gacha box full of jokes.

＜Hidden Passive Skill – Voice from the Sky＞

[God bestows gifts on you who pursue the right path.

Poor lambs who go around seeking the word of the Lord but cannot find it.

As his servant, your words will bring great comfort and peace to their hearts.

-Your charm increases by 15%.

-People are more easily persuaded by your words.

– It has a healing effect on wounded souls just by having a conversation.]

＜Voice from the Sky＞, a skill that feels quite different from what I have seen in the game so far.

This was a skill far removed from combat and quite far from healing magic that healed physical wounds.

But,

As I checked the contents, rather than being disappointed, I felt a little different interest.

‘So, is this a skill that allows me to grill people better with my words?’

For example, in the case of something like when I persuaded General Gates the other day, it means that it makes it easier to change his mind.

Watching this, I came to think that this skill might be more helpful than the usual combat skills.

‘It’s a battle right now, but… In the future, there will be quite a lot of cases where you have to coax people out to solve it like this time. In addition, since it is said to increase attractiveness, it will be of some help in targeting the heroines.’

Of course, the charm itself wasn’t that big as it only increased it by 15%, but it would definitely be better than nothing.

The unpleasant part remains, but I closed the skill description window as it was, satisfied with the fact that I had achieved quite good results.

Without even imagining what would happen in relation to this skill…

“Cheers!”

“For the glory of the rebels!”

The day after the Imperial forces had completely retreated, a banquet was officially held to commemorate the victory of the rebels inside and outside Fort Stackwick.

A large-scale banquet in which alcohol and meat were served.

Although about half of the militia went back to their livelihoods as the war ended, a considerable number of people were still enjoying the banquet here.

And among such people. Jane, who decided to officially become a rebel soldier, was also included.

“Now, please take my cup too. Thank you for your hard work in many ways.”

“thank you. I will drink well.”

Jane receives a drink from Manager Benelita.

Originally, she didn’t like alcohol very much, but on a happy day like today, she started drinking from her glass, feeling that this was okay.

The hot sensation felt right after that.

A glass of rum brewed quite strongly made her feel a bit tingly, but even in the midst of that, Jane held on tightly to her spirit.

To be honest, there was nothing strange about being drunk here, and some people were already in a state of unconsciousness due to excessive drinking.

Nevertheless, the reason why she can’t get drunk like this.

that is… At this moment, the man across from her.

A benefactor who gave her the will to live a new life, and an agent chosen by God.

Because Edward Cromwell was sitting.

“Are you okay? If you are tired, take a little rest.”

“ah… No, that’s fine. This is enough… do.”

Jane carefully responds to Cromwell’s words.

She hadn’t felt at ease for a second since leaving her fiancé.

But,

I don’t know if it’s because I’m drunk today, or if I’m simply intoxicated with the joy of winning.

While listening to Cromwell’s words, which felt warmer than usual, she was feeling a deep calm for the first time in a long time.

Although it is a common word of concern,

Cromwell’s words give the impression of wrapping up wounds with a kind hand.

Comforted by that, Jane began to show a shy smile on her lips.

‘no… Come to think of it, this has happened before. Mr. Cromwell made me… When you saved my life.’

Right before he passed away, Cromwell’s hand saved her from the bottom of that hell.

Recalling the memories of that time, Jane naturally came to a conclusion.

‘This is it…’ You are the saint people have been talking about. Just looking at him so close and listening to his words allows you to get the comfort of your heart… ‘

that could not be healed in any way.

Even while killing the evil imperial army, he was the only one who could heal the wounds in his heart that did not disappear fundamentally, only providing temporary comfort.

In addition to being deeply grateful for that fact, I thought that I would like to continue to enjoy the same grace in the future.

Jane looked at the man’s face in front of her with sparkling eyes.

at that time.

“Here you are.”

“Ah, General Franklin.”

General Franklin appeared with a cold face as always.

Upon the appearance of his immediate superior, Cromwell immediately stood up and tried to pay his respects, and after Franklin accepted it, he spoke to him in a quiet voice.

“I’m sorry during the banquet, but I had something urgent to do. Could you accompany me for a moment?”

“ah… all right.”

“If it’s urgent, I’ll help.”

“No, there is no need for Director Benelita, since this is our unit’s job anyway. It’s something we both have to deal with.”

“Is that so? I will know if it is.”

“all… Please go.”

After rejecting Benelita’s story, General Franklin dragged Cromwell and started heading somewhere.

Seeing this, Jane greeted her with deep regret.

At this moment, while experiencing a strange feeling as if something important was being taken away…

*

The place we arrived with General Franklin.

In the rather large gallery located inside the fortress, I began to open my mouth cautiously with a question.

“there… General? What the hell is going on?”

“… Umm… ”

She seemed to be a little restless from earlier.

I asked her a question…

Regarding this, General Franklin looked around as if to confirm something.

And.

“!? ruler… General?”

Right after that, General Franklin begins to take off his military uniform.

I was seized with a deep sense of bewilderment at her sudden action.

And after a while, she completely took off the military uniform she was wearing.

So, looking at her face in front of my eyes,

Looking at her, wearing a shiny dress revealed in a rugged military uniform, with an expression full of shame.

I couldn’t help but put on a blank expression for a while.

“… uh… which… go?”
