Looking back, it was Elric’s first carriage trip in his life.
It must be a pretty boring road. Contrary to what I expected, the week-long journey from Wangdo to Wibin was full of unexpected joys.
For example, an example would be a scenery passing by slowly.
Although it was a bleak landscape in the midst of winter, the people walking around on it were warm.
The plants curling up in preparation for the next year had a somewhat humble aspect to them, and the process of the clear sky turning red contained the romance that Elbers loved.
Each of them had an aspect that calmed the mind.
Elric thought.
‘It’s better to be quiet as expected.’
It wasn’t a bad feeling as the sound of weapons and soldiers’ shouts, which had always been humming, was gradually being washed away.
After such a leisurely time, we finally went to Wibin.
By the time we reached Portman’s mansion, it was sunset.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“no. It’s hard work, Rdio did it all. “All I did was sit still in the carriage.”
“Isn’t that why you got on the carriage?”
As Tyria spoke humbly, Elric chuckled and shook his head.
“It was quite an enjoyable trip. “It was quite enjoyable to sit still and watch the scenery pass by.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case.”
Tyria’s expression became much softer.
Elric was confident that he could now distinguish such points.
It’s probably because we spent time together in close quarters for a week.
She maintained a neutral expression in any situation, but if you looked closely, you could see changes in her tone of voice and momentary changes in her facial muscles.
Elric was happy.
That Tyria doesn’t hate spending time with him.
“young master! lady! Let’s unload first! “You have to eat and sleep!”
In response to Rdio’s shout, Elric held Tyria’s hand and said.
“Let’s go in first.”
“yes.”
It’s a chilly day in Wibin.
Elric returned home walking through the bare wheat fields with Tyria, who was fastening her collar.
Familiar users, familiar atmosphere and familiar smells.
Even people trying to get used to it.
In a much happier mood, Greer Elric completed his journey.
-Kasha!!!
It’s been a while since I had a nightmare.
*
“Hmph!”
Elric suddenly got up from the bed.
The hand that reached out groped towards the raw dagger that was on the shelf next to the bed.
When I hold the cooled iron in my arms, my breathing slowly returns.
Elric wiped off the cold sweat and let out a long breath.
The dream was still as vivid as reality.
‘It’s been a while.’
When did it happen?
A dream as vivid as reality was making my stomach flutter.
‘… 3 years ago? ‘No, four years ago?’
I don’t remember very well.
I could just picture the events of that day clearly.
It was the day when we stood at Chebor’s front defense line and blocked Kalbaran’s soldiers.
An infantry unit attacked him, and there was a child soldier somewhere there.
-Kasha!!!
A cry full of bitterness, clumsy swordsmanship, and fading breath.
What hung over the child soldier’s face was resentment.
The reason the boy’s face was particularly memorable was because of the sword he was holding.
The scars on the boy’s sword were made by him.
It was not made that day, but was an old scar that was presumed to have been made quite a long time ago, on another battlefield.
There is something special about the battlefield.
It was not difficult to figure out that the boy might be the son of someone he had killed earlier.
I could have denied it.
I could have brushed it off, saying that’s not what all wars are like.
However, Elric could not do that yet.
The resentment the boy expressed as he died occasionally manifested itself in nightmares like this.
-Master, were you coughing?
Elric closed his eyes tightly and controlled his mind.
The answer came later.
“… I want to take a shower. “Please make some preparations.”
Lately, I haven’t been having nightmares very often, so I thought everything was okay, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.
but,
-Yes, I will pass it on to you as well.

Lately, I haven’t had time to be away from Tyria.
When I was with her, I got strange feelings, and when I fell asleep in close proximity to her, I was concerned about her sleeping habits, so I didn’t have nightmares.
When I think of Tyria’s face, I feel even more at ease.
Elric let out a small laugh.
For some reason, I felt like I wanted to meet her quickly.
*
The Portman family’s breakfast was still bread, bacon, and eggs.
Why does it feel like it’s been such a long time since we sat down with that on the table?
“Good morning.”
I said, and Tyria answered.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
It’s been a while since I slept alone, so I had a nightmare.
There was no point in saying that, so Elric made up a lie.
“As expected, home is the best. “I almost overslept.”
“Yes, I did too.”
“Are you serious?”
“… .”
“Your wife tells jokes.”
Tyria was embarrassed.
Judging by the way his eyebrows drooped a little and his gaze fell diagonally, it was like that.
“… “You didn’t find it fun.”
Is this shame?
Tyria’s hands were moving busily for no reason.
For some reason, Elric thought the sight was cute, so he smiled and answered.
“It was a little fun.”
Elric answered and started eating.
The conversation was roughly about what to do from today and the food to be distributed to the residents of the territory in time for the start of the year.
One more thing was added there.
“I plan to create an order of knights.”
“huh?”
“Didn’t the matriarch say you would need it?”
“ah… “I did say that.”
“This year’s harvest was large and the transaction was completed successfully, so we have quite a bit of funds left. “I thought we could recruit one or two people.”
Did he just remember everything he said in passing?
Elric suddenly felt grateful for her favor.
And I felt a little enthusiasm welling up inside me.
“Can I take charge of that job?”
“yes?”
“I know a little about the Templars. Oh that… “Did you ever tell me that your dream was to become a knight when you were young?”
“… yes.”
“I made sure to do my research.”
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason, but it was natural that he was more skilled than she in creating the knights.
After all, haven’t you encountered most of the influential knights in the western war zone?
It was an opportunity to show that as an Elric who is not very good at territory work, there are things he can do well.
“Is that okay?”
When asked repeatedly, Tyria quietly nodded.
“… “Yes, you do.”
“Thank you!”
A joy filled Elric’s heart.
After finishing his meal quickly, Elric got up, gave a cursory greeting to Tyria, and went straight outside.
Tyria, who was left alone, blinked, then burst into laughter.
It was because I suddenly thought that I looked like Elric from my younger days.
*
order.
Not just a person responsible for protecting the territory, but one of the faces that reveals the power and dignity of the territory.
Of course, not only must one’s skills be outstanding, but one’s appearance and discipline must also be something that one can boast about to others.
Considering that, it seemed unreasonable to immediately look for talent within Wibin.
Since we were recruiting from outside, it was also natural that the process would be difficult.
Amman Even though firearms have advanced, isn’t a knight still a knight?
Talent that can manipulate mana is considered precious, so its price is very high.
Meanwhile, something fortunate happened.
To be precise, something fortunate happened only to Elric.
“Are they all gathered? Five… “For a branch, it’s a fairly small number of people.”
“haha… “I’m sorry for not meeting your expectations.”
“Well, no. “If there are too many people, it will arouse your wife’s suspicion.”
Wolyeong, the messenger of the West.
Among them, Danal, the man who was the branch leader of the Ferdin branch, cursed under his breath.
‘I’m telling you which beat to go to!’
It was just a few weeks ago that I turned to Kasha when the headquarters was overwhelmed and the branch was in trouble.
It was five days ago that I followed his orders and came to Wibin, a village with nothing to see.
Finally facing Kasha, Danal shed tears inside.
‘I thought I’d just do chores…’ .’
Why are you suddenly writing an article?
Also, it should be a new order of knights in the territory, not an existing order of knights.
It’s okay up to that point.
But… .
‘Why is the pay so low!’
A monthly salary is a small amount of money that only newly ordained knights would receive.
I heard that Youngji’s financial situation is like that, so wouldn’t it be okay if he didn’t receive the article?
Why do you insist on including all five as articles?
Was this really the right choice?
Danal’s anger was welling up inside him.
“Are there any differences of opinion?”
“I will be loyal!”
Danal cried out, driven by his survival instinct.
It was the same with his subordinates.
Only then did Kasha smile in satisfaction.
“Please take care of me. “Then, shall we start by naming our knights?”
“yeah!!!”
Danal hated Kasha.
