Therefore the disaster came suddenly (6)
That night, we gathered again at the Marine Military Academy.
Actually, there wasn’t much of a choice.
Just because the Griffin clan headed for it, we couldn’t infiltrate Atsuma without any preparation, and we didn’t have enough information about it…
“aaah, it hurts! It hurts, it hurts!”
“Hold on a minute, Yerun. It’s good medicine.”
“it’s okay. Don’t look! Don’t look hurt, close your eyes.”
“Teacher! Herda is unconscious, Mr. Abachal!”
“Uhhh…”
“The hot water passes! hot water!”
Because there are so many sick people here.
“Sir! Please come this way, please! Priest!”
“My father wants his final confession. please······!”
“I will go right away. How are you?”
The body that had been sitting for a moment got up.
Thankfully, Sir John accompanied me as my escort.
The spacious indoor gymnasium at Military Academy was crowded with homeless victims, injured students, and busy staff.
The northern territory that a swarm of beasts had scratched was truly a mess.
I carried the sleeping Tite with a swaddling cloth, and with a lizard in my arms, I swung in all directions.
The beds in the dormitory were brought with them all, so the patients were barely able to escape from being on the floor.

Of course, among the barracks lined up on the other hand, there was also a seat for our guild.
The hordes of beasts that commanded the sky completely disappeared from the right vigilante, and since the party had no opponent to fight, it was good to rest in peace now.
If you wish, you could escape the hustle and bustle and return to your dormitory.
But hey, I couldn’t. I’m sure anyone else would have done it.
[Before leaving to the Lord, I will offer my last breath and confess in the name of the priest.]
“Uhhh… Father, what are you doing? What should my dad do?”
“Huh! I, I live, cool! sin… A lot, too much…”
[··········.]
“Oh, Dad! Daddy! aaah!”
After sending someone’s last, my heart was very heavy until I grabbed someone’s life.
It happened a lot in Lister’s military camp, but of course I didn’t get used to it.
Sir John, with a calm face, closed the eyes of the dead in my place.
After giving blessings to the deceased, I held the hands of the bereaved family once and quietly left the room.
In this situation, my words were a noise that could neither reach their hearts nor hear them.
“It would be better for you to just sleep, my lord. You were overworked today.”
“no. I am still alive.”
I smiled and shook my head as Harit’s father whispered, with a braid on his head.
I didn’t really feel tired right away, probably because the tension wasn’t relieved.
In addition, we had a fatigue reliever made by François, and a snack made with dried tentacles of brown sugar stone peonies.
After all, it took time to gather intelligence and plan a strategy.
Since you never know when the hordes of beasts will return, proper defense was essential.
Because I can’t fight together.
After the battle was over, I wanted to be of help in this way.
I’ll have to hold on until I stumble from sleep. nothing
“Ah, it stings. ah!”
“Yerun, how are you? it’s okay?”
I was constantly looking for patients, paying close attention to one of the beds.
A thick, swollen face immediately looked back at me.
Yerun, the class leader of the 3rd year class 3, had a lot of abrasions all over his body, but luckily, his life was not in a state of danger.
There were many wounds, so there was a lot of bleeding, but with everyone’s efforts, hemostasis and disinfection were quick.
Among them, Dooet, who was deeply caring, was healed by myself, and my heart was even more touched.
“The place you healed is clean, guild chief. Ouch. Thank you so much…”

On the first day of coming to military school, the face that stood up to us with courage looked a little slender today.
His blood-stained lips were also purging. I smiled bitterly as I filled the boy’s glass of water.
“no. I need to get everything cleaned up, but I’m sorry I don’t have time.”
“Hey, don’t say that. There are a lot of guys who got hurt worse than me… How about my classmates?”
“Everyone is getting better. All my unconscious friends woke up. So, eat well and rest well.”
When I delivered the good news, the child’s face brightened and blood spurted.
At this rate, I felt like I would recover quickly, so I felt better.
That was then.
“Guild Master!”
“Mr Stella.”
“Grandpa is looking for you two. It’s our work time. Atsuma related.”
Ga-in, who suddenly appeared from behind, spoke softly in her ear.
Her hair was curled up like Isabelle, and her hair was raised up.
She, in charge of supplying clean water, could not rest properly for 10 minutes after returning to school.
I exchanged glances with Sir John and nodded coldly.

– Tap, tap, tap…
The indoor barracks had a cozy atmosphere, and the school building was the primary protection against drafts, so it was definitely warm.
It was only a few layers of thick cloth, but the noise from outside was also reduced, so it was quiet.
The one and only brazier was hollowed out on all sides as if it had been beaten by someone, but luckily there was no problem in lighting the fire.
The sea decorations hanging from the ceiling were full of rust.
We sat around the floor without a table and looked at each other with serious expressions.
Confucius Shem, the son of Viscount Bareun, Lena, the head of the students, and Tess, the classroom teacher, were also present.
Indeed, operation time was operation time.
Candles lit up everywhere, even creating a secret atmosphere.
······But now with a late-night snack!
“Eat a lot, sweetheart. Don’t worry about the students as there is a lot of monster meat.”
“Please, guild chief. I freeze it very well so I don’t have to worry about the food going bad. You know it’s a cold town, right?”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
“Eat your stomach full. Look, you’re halfway there in half a day.”
‘I will enjoy this food.’ Without hesitation, I took the soup bowl first.
I didn’t come running expecting something like this, but I thought it was time to eat something from the embarrassing noises coming from my belly button.
I had no appetite until a while ago, which was surprising.
Come to think of it, I can’t even remember when the proper meal was.
It seems that I ate lunch a little early, so this morning was probably the last thing I had to pack.
Wow. But I didn’t even know I was hungry.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa….”
First, I made two bowls of bubbling pea soup by blowing it up.
Instead of pork, the broth filled with horseradish meat had the flavor of fragrant peas and thick broth at the same time.
The generous amount of celery juice added to the unique flavor of this place.
When something hot went in, I felt relieved and a pleasant heat circulated all over my body.
The third and last bowl was only half empty, and the warm sausage roll and tiger bread were soaked in it and scraped off like a sauce.
The soup was moderately salty, so it was perfect for eating like this.
‘Aeng.’ Lofi, who was lying next to the tiger bun plate, abruptly got up and left.
“Is that a pig or a priest? Does everything you eat go to the ether?”
“You’re not the one to feed, so stay still.”
“under······.”
François’ laughter was heard from the other side.
Next, I took a big bite of a croquette sandwich made from sugar bear meat.
Crispy! Freshly fried croquettes shattered with a wonderful sound.
The bun wrapped around the outside was not very soft, but the roasted beast meat coated with fire and spicy mustard sauce gave it an unbelievable umami.
It felt like my eyes would pop out. It was so delicious that I ate three lumps like a crab!
Then, instinctively, I grabbed the spoon in front of me.
Huh, now that I see, there is also a crumbly barley rice next to it…?
am i dreaming now
“The school chef searched the warehouse specifically for the guild leader and found it. When I said that he likes rice, he said there was no rice, only barley. The rotten thing is picked out and steamed until the eggs are soft.”
“・・・・・・I was really impressed. thank you.”
Gain’s sense is the best! I guess I’m lucky enough to eat!
Swallowing my stomach, I quickly put the rice on the plate.
The excited lizard froze in his arms.
Where should I mix this to get the rumor that it was delicious?
“This would be good for dinner.”
“Great.”
The Crown Prince pointed to the Berenklauw plate in front of him.
For a moment, my mind went blank as if I had been hit by something.
I marveled at his pioneering vision and looked at his side profile. Oh my gosh······.
pretty I’m going to die You don’t even have taste anymore?
“You are more handsome today.”
“Moderately.”
“Yep.”
There were transparently cooked onions and red peppers sandwiched between the well-done and tightly placed beast meat skewers.
Topped with red-brown sauce with a spicy scent, it was the perfect side dish for rice.
I took out only the meat and vegetables from the tip of the skewer like fish, put it on barley rice and rubbed it with the sauce.
Ga-in said, ‘It is the best when eaten together’ and placed a soft potato salad next to it.
Eat one spicy sauce and eat this once, and your mouth will be new.
Indeed, you know the taste. The main character class in Korea’s top ropan.
“Stella. Try the pickled herring. It tastes like cheese.”
“Yeah, it smells a little like salmon. It’s addictive.”
I was going to put it on the prince’s plate, but he was not accustomed to pickling fish, and immediately looked at him in denial.

On the other hand, Sir John ate anything and made us happy.
Dungshim ran around everywhere telling me to try this next time.
Ah, it must have been the order of the little master.
“I will accompany you to Atsuma. I know the geography well.”
Around that time, Confucius Shem swallowed roasted vegetables with the most serious face in the world.
I slowed my murmur and checked the atmosphere.
Grandpa was also drinking only anise milk with a serious expression. Ugh······.
“Yeah, we’ll have to leave at dawn tomorrow. Since a large number of demonic beasts have been gathered, how can the people of the territory bear the hardships?”
“Unlike Barun, Atsuma has several Paladins. There are also quite a few priests. It will be better than us.”
To Grandpa’s lament, Tess answered cautiously.
Then, Sir John, who was slicing the devil’s fried fish, tilted his head.
“If it weren’t for the cardinal, it wouldn’t be of much use. Or is the lord of that place good preparation?”
“It’s to the point where it feels like it’s not good enough… Truly a wicked person. At least in my experience.”
Confucius Shem sighed and said. A waist dance wrapped in white bandages caught my eye.
Tess patted his shoulder without a word.
“Baron Atsuma has robbed the royal family of support coming to our territory for decades, and has used the bodies of our people for private use without burying them. But how subtle and slow it was… Until ‘Vozena’ came up to the lord and spoke, no one in the lord’s castle noticed it. I feel ashamed and miserable.”
“Wait. So there’s no evidence? Is it possible that Bozena lied?”
Ga-in asked with the sauce on her lips. Confucius smiled sadly.
“I wonder how great it would have been if that was the case, but there were already Atsuma clan members in the castle. They were people who regularly visited for exchanges between the two families. They questioned me harshly, and the answer came out soon after.”
“Oh my gosh······.”
“It was all true. We have been seeing a decrease in the support of the stronghold and the cut off of the reinforcements… I took it with a lot of effort, assuming that it was all because of the difficult life of the country.”
The man sighed because the ground was gone, and found the liquor with one hand the size of a pot lid.
Grandpa picked up a bottle in the corner and filled the cup himself.
When I stopped eating, he gestured to me to keep eating.
“Can you hear more? Tomorrow, won’t it be hard again to take care of your mate? I’m afraid my body will get wet.”
“Ah yes.”
You might think so.
I scooped out a large spoonful of rice and put it in my mouth.
You are not alone, so you have to take good care of it.
······gulp.
“Well, then, could you lead us to Atsuma’s graveyard?”
As I took the spoon and asked carefully, Confucius Shem and Tess’ eyes widened.
Everyone’s eyes also focused on this side.
Perhaps it was thanks to the meal, the calculator in my head ran again.
“Are you talking about the graveyard, priest?”
“Yes. You said that the bodies that were going to go there were used for other things… There is probably a facility in question nearby. There is also the problem of corpse decomposition, and the longer the distance traveled, the greater the risk of detection. There is a Viscount Order right next to it, so Atsuma must have been careful.”
“Yeah… I guess. I do.”
Lena-sensei murmured while fumbling through the air. I immediately shook my head.
“And most likely, there is something hidden there.”
“Hidden? Perhaps innocent corpses are not enough, and they are…”
Confucius couldn’t resist and shrugged his shoulders. The ending wasn’t up to me.
“A treasure worthy of attracting beasts.”
A sharp low-pitched sound came from the seat next to him.
“It must have been stolen.”
-Woong
The prince’s eyes, with Loffy on his shoulder, were shining like fireworks.
