64 – Blooming even in a crisis (6)
It is not incomprehensible that the duchy gave a medal to Einer.
What the Elion Fleet committed was a serious violation of the laws and public order of Daham.
It is safe to say that Einer has accomplished a great feat as a security guard, as he jumped in alone and devastated it.
Just by simple calculation, nearly a thousand people were beaten.
What crazy person in the world could achieve such a ridiculous feat?
So, there is nothing strange about the medal and the first-class special promotion that comes with it.
But why the Verab font?
Einor has never provided any significant help to the Berabche fleet?
Could it be some kind of appreciation plaque given for defeating the enemy nation’s Elyon fleet?
If that’s the case, there’s nothing really strange about it.
Berabche and Elion are in a desperate situation because they can’t eat each other.
How good would it be that the third party, Einor, had made the fleet unable to perform its mission?
Aner guy. Your luck is sky-high.
But how does Berabche give a medal to Einer?
Well, I guess I’ll open a portal here and some royal officials will come and give it to me.
At that time, the head of the management office handed out another envelope.
Inside the envelope was thick, stiff paper wrapped in colorful gold leaf.
“Ugh?! An invitation?! To the royal castle of Berabche?!”
The administrative director briefly nodded his head.
No, what’s going on?
Berabche invites Einer as a guest of honor and awards him a medal at the castle?
That too from the king himself?!
Is that how much it took to control the Elion fleet?
No.
Due to a large-scale naval battle a few years ago, Berabce’s navy was almost half-destroyed.
Even now, several years later, the damage has not been repaired and we are still suffering.
In such a situation, Einer rendered the entire ocean-going fleet of Elion, the culprit, unable to perform its mission.
For the Berabche capital, this was a golden opportunity to immediately raise the morale of the navy, which had fallen to the bottom.

In a way, it is natural to invite Aner and promote and treat it nationally.
What a cub.
He really is a lucky guy.

The ceremony for awarding the Order of the Principality took place immediately.
With security forces and management office employees lined up, the head of the management office personally placed a medal on Einer’s chest from the podium.
In addition, first-class special personnel orders were read and encouragement money was given.
“Wow! Captain, you’re so cool!”
Einer’s team members squealed.
Following that, awards were given to the members who contributed to the rescue of the sailors of the Elion fleet.
Kira, who suffered burns on the top of her foot while engaged in passionate rescue efforts, was included.
Even though the management director was in front of her, Kira turned around behind her and screamed while waving the commendation certificate in her hand, and the security guards playfully jeered.
It is an event organized by the head of the Management Office, and since it is an event where medals are awarded on behalf of the Archduke, it must be very strict, but the security guards don’t seem to have much awareness of that.
But no one came forward to stop it.
Because that kind of atmosphere is natural for the Daham Port Security Department.
Jokingly, they say that there is only a small difference between pirates and port security officers.
“It’s a disaster. It’s such a mess.”
Hadun, the security chief on the podium, chuckled, stroking his beard.
Other high-ranking executives reacted similarly to Hadun.
“It’s barbaric.”
Only Malia, the wizard belonging to the Management Office, frowned and mumbled something to herself.
Malia, that’s how it is.
After the event was over, everyone dispersed back to the dockside.
The Elion and Berabche fleets have not left yet, so we must prevent them from colliding further.
The Principality’s Marine Corps has provided support, but just like what happened last time, we don’t know when or how something will happen again.
First of all, the schedule of the two fleets is as follows.
The Berabche fleet has completely burned down its sails, so it cannot set sail unless it is repaired.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t get it repaired at the shipyard here.
Because it is a warship, the internal structure is a security issue, and since the ship is so large and there are many of them, the shipyard here cannot handle them.
Of course, because it is a world-class port city, there are several shipyards, but there are also many ships lined up to use it.
So, from what I heard, the chief wizard of Verabche Castle personally came to the portal?! They say they are preparing to move the entire ship.
Isn’t this crazy?
How do you move a galleon to a portal?
But there are so many wizards in Berabche, so there must be some crazy wizards like that.
And in relation to that.
The dwarf captain said that the chief wizard would come and take me to Berabche royal castle.
In gratitude for defeating the Elyon fleet, they invited me, gave me a medal, fed me delicious food, and showed me around.
I am thankful.
I have never been to the northern part of the continent in my life.
They say that you can bring one person with you.
Originally, royal ceremonies are held with couples.
It was the same at Brechnert.
Aner was single and single, but the people who always attended were couples or fiancés.
I think he meant it that way, but the problem is that Aner is still single.
No, I have someone to take with me.
Ael.
When we first met, Ael said he wanted to go to Berabche, where demons can obtain citizenship.
I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity and take him to see Berabce.
But what if he suddenly doesn’t come back and wants to sit down?
I can’t help it. They say that’s my will.
But Ael won’t do that.
Anyway, this security posture needs to end quickly so I can go talk to Ael or not.
The Elion fleet’s ships are in good condition, so all they have to do is load up the injured and sail away, but the management office is never letting them go.
The Grand Siege has requested a large amount of compensation from Elion, and they intend to hold the fleet hostage until it is received.
Anything is fine, so I hope it ends quickly.
I miss Ael.
“But where did Toby go?”
I was just leaving the security station while thinking about Ael, when I suddenly realized that Toby was nowhere to be seen.
“Well? Where did it go?”
“I saw you going on duty earlier.”
Ryan answered.
If it’s a medical unit, there’s Kira who hurt her foot and is limping around.
Marco and Einer made eye contact and burst into mischievous laughter.
“Let’s go.”
“In secret.”
“Of course.”
They hurried to the duty station and slightly opened the small window on the side.
As expected, Kira and Toby were seen alone in the empty medical unit.
Kira was sitting on the camp bed, her bare feet outstretched, her face in her hands, her head down.
Why are you wondering why Toby is kneeling in front of him?
Kira placed her burned feet on her lap and carefully applied her ointment.
“hehehe…”
Marco laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
When Toby said something while applying her ointment, Kira cupped her face and nodded or shook her head in response.
I don’t know what she’s saying, but it’s probably something like, “Is it painful?” Or “Are you okay?”
“They are a very funny pair.”
“That’s right. If you do that, you’ll just confess and get married. It’s frustrating.”
“Stupid things. Tsk tsk. If it were me, you two would have s*x when no one was around.”
Ryan glanced at Aner, who clicked her tongue and shook her head.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s nothing.”
* * * * *
A few days later, the Elion fleet finally left the port.
This is because the principality threatened to never accept ships belonging to Elion until compensation was received.
You can never conduct long-distance trade without going through Daham.
In addition, the principality fleet is standing on the entrance to the port, so it is impossible to force entry or exit.
So, Elion immediately paid compensation partly in cash and partly in bonds, and only then did the principality fleet clear the way for the Elion fleet to leave.
With the Elion fleet leaving, the principality’s marines and fleet all withdrew.
Now all that remains in the harbor is the half-burned Berabche fleet.
The security posture was lifted and Einer was finally able to return home.
As soon as Aner got home from work, he crossed the central market without resting and ran up the hill to get home.
“Ael!”
“Huh!? Master!!”
Ael shouted and dropped the firewood she was holding.
“Master!”
Ael, who came running after a month, jumped into Einor’s arms, and Einer held Ael in his arms and spun around in a big circle, laughing.
“How have you been?”
“I missed you!”
Even after Einer stopped, Ael held on to Einer’s waist, not letting her fall.
“Nothing happened?”
“Yes, yes. Nothing happened. By the way, are you okay, master? Are you hurt?”
“Yes. None.”
“I’m glad.”
Ael, who was rubbing her cheek against Aine’s face, raised her head.
Ael tilted her head when she saw the sparkling medal hanging on Aner’s chest.
“What is this?”
“This time it was given to me by the principality.”
As I explained the contents, Ael’s eyes widened.
“That’s amazing, master! So you already have over ten medals?”
“Huh? How did you know?”
“I found it in the warehouse. I cleaned it so I could display it on the restaurant wall.”
“Oh, okay. It’s not that big of a deal.”
“That’s amazing! What are you talking about!”
When Ael whimpered, Einor laughed out loud and stroked her head.
“Anyway, it’s good to see you again.”
“hehehe, me too….”
Ael and Einer embrace each other again.
Lamia, standing at the door, stared at this and clicked her tongue.
“I’ll sleep outside today, so you two can mate.”
Then the two people fell in a hurry.
