It was an unwelcome feeling that rose up from time to time.
Memories of long-term battlefields are like this, even though they become blurred in the memory, they pop up at unexpected moments.
Probably because I had a dream of being a child soldier today.
It was cooked sensitively. There is no need for this at all.
Veron is not that child soldier, and his parents and grandfather, Old Herman, are alive and well.
After all, isn’t this a battlefield?
Peaceful hometown, Wibin.
A quiet place where a festive atmosphere takes place when a cow gives birth.
I consciously think about it, but my breath rarely comes back.
Elric’s hand automatically found the dead dagger in his arms.
I reached out my hand and felt the cool metal, and only then did my breathing begin to return.
“… You idiot, why are you like this? “Are you feeling unwell?”
Elric shook his head as he could finally hear Old Man Herman’s worried voice clearly.
“no. “I was so surprised when I saw my Veron.”
I calmed down and smiled brightly.
“You’ve really grown a lot. But he still remembers me.”
Elric stood up and patted Veron on the shoulder.
Now, for a 14-year-old, I am really tall.
He is at the same eye level as me, so if he continues like this, he might grow up to 2 meters like old man Herman.
“Are you helping your grandfather with his work?”
When Elric asked, Veron smiled as if he was embarrassed but also happy.
“yes! My mother is always worried! “Her grandfather is old, but he doesn’t let go of his work.”
“Hehe, I guess you’re still as stubborn as ever.”
“Are you in a position to stubbornly say something to me?”
Herman clicked his tongue and Veron laughed.
Only then did Veron’s eyes turn to Wolyoung.
“But these people… .”
“Ah, these are the people who will become the knights of our territory.”
“oh!”
Veron’s eyes widened.
Scarlet eyes that seemed to contain the flames of a brazier burned brightly.
“Are we going to have a knight in our territory too?”
For a moment, Elric was taken aback by how much he liked it so much that Herman smiled and said as if he couldn’t stop him.
“Hasn’t this guy been making such a fuss about wanting to become a knight for some time now?”
“Ha, grandpa!”
“Why you idiot! Once the Knights Templar is in operation, aren’t they going to beg to be included as squires? “They say this money will help with that!”
“Well, still… .”
As Josun’s conversation continued, Elric suddenly felt his stomach tremble.
When I imagined Veron holding a sword, it was like that.
Is it a feeling of rejection or a sense of guilt?
While Elric was swallowing his confusion, the arrow came back to him.
“You idiot, your condition is really strange. “Why on earth are you doing this?”
“Brother Elric?”
My fingertips were shaking.
Elric tried to calm him down. The timing was very bad.
If I hadn’t had that dream, I wouldn’t have had a reason to overreact so much.
It is indescribable to be in trouble because the unpleasant feelings that have remained sticky cannot be pulled out.
Finally, the true Elric spoke.
“I felt burdened because it seemed like too much attention was being paid to a knighthood that wasn’t even founded yet. “These guys are already less acclimated to receiving seeds.”
I hope it is an appropriate rejection.
Elric immediately turned his horse around.
“Anyway, old man, can I entrust you with making their armor?”
“Hmm, well, what can I do when I’m the only one who can do it? “Don’t do that.”
“Thank you. I’m busy with other schedules today, so I’ll leave. “I have to measure these, so I guess I should leave them behind, right?”
“Okay, leave those bigots here.”
“It’s raining… .”
The corner of Danal’s mouth quirked up.
Elric stabbed him in the side with his life.
Only then did Danal’s attitude become polite.
“i look forward to. “Elder!”
His voice was a little tearful.
*
Elric returned to the mansion alone, leaving Wolyoung behind.
The cold air made me feel better.
When I finally returned to the mansion after passing through the bare wheat fields, I ran into Tyria, who happened to be there.
“Matriarch, how did you come alone?”
Tyria was wearing an old fur cloak and blowing air.
Afterwards, a quiet mansion appeared in the background, and for a moment, without knowing why, Elric felt a sense of stability.

A smile appeared.
“… I came first because measuring the armor would take a long time. “But your wife is here for some reason.”
“Oh, I had some free time at work so I was checking out the flower beds.”
Her eyes turned to the dirt floor of the mansion.
Because it was the height of winter, it was a brown flower bed with no traces of flowers.
Then something occurred to me.
“I decided to plant flowers in spring.”
“… yes.”
“It did. “I guess so.”
Elric slowly approached her and stood next to her.
Tyria began to look at Elric.
“… Is something wrong?”
“hmm?”
“Your complexion is not good.”
Tyria stretched out her hand.
Soon, a thin white hand touched Elric’s cheek.
Elric was startled, but she paid him no heed and brushed his cheek with her thumb.
“It doesn’t seem like a cold.”
It was a concerned voice.
Why does this kind of skinship turn my mind blank?
And why do you want to lean on it for no reason?
Hesitantly, Elric placed his hand on top of her hand resting on his cheek.
My cold hands soon became warm.
“… !”
I felt my fingertips tense.
It was quite enjoyable.
“I guess I had a bit of a headache trying to form a knighthood.”
It was strange.
As we looked into each other’s eyes, my mind, which had been unable to calm down even with the dagger, regained complete peace.
I felt like I was at the lakeside where there wasn’t even a gentle breeze.
“Once again, I feel amazing about my wife.”
“Suddenly?”
“I’m not doing all the management of this territory. “Just one knighthood gives me a headache.”
“… It’s probably because I’m not used to it. “The beginning of anything is difficult.”
Her eyes soon turned to the floor.
The hand fell from the cheek.
However, Elric’s hand was still holding her hand.
I started to think that it would be too cold if I let go of this hand.
When you hold hands, they form a clasped shape.
Elric turned his attention to the flower bed.
“… So, what flowers do you plan on planting?”
When I turned to talk and diverted my concentration from my hand, she wiggled her fingertips and said.
“It’s a medicinal herb.”
“huh?”
“Among the herbs used for trauma, there are those with white and red flowers. “It is firmly rooted, has strong vitality, and its flowers bloom for a long time, so you can enjoy them for a long time.”
“… “It seems like a familiar plant.”
“Yes, it is a herb that can often be found in the mountains behind the demonic beasts.”
“no wonder.”
“I heard you walked around the mountains behind you like that when you were young, right?”
“… “It’s about when I was young.”
“Push… .”
slap! Elric’s head turned.
Was it an illusion that I heard laughter just before?
No, I must have laughed.
Elric asked, feeling upset as to why he was expressionless right now.
“Did you find it funny?”
“no.”
“I thought I heard laughter.”
“The wind is strong.”
“ma’am?”
“Now, let’s go in. “I have to finish the work, and since the matriarch is here, I think we can do it together.”
“ma’am?”
“There is a lot of paperwork to process.”
“… .”
She gently guided his hand.
The stiff mane of the fur cape tickled the back of my hand.
Can’t I just smile one more time?
I want to see you smile brightly at least once.
The feeling of regret grew deeper than usual, but this sword-like woman seemed to have no intention of doing so.
“Come on, come on.”
Elric had to suffer from shaking off the sorrow that had built up.
*
“You’re causing a very bad disease.”
Danal, who returned to the mansion, looked at Kasha and his wife, who were hugging each other with their hands clasped together.
“Guys. Look over there. “I’m suffering from the most damning disease of all diseases.”
His face was full of charcoal soot.
His expression was tired, and his shoulders were heavier than ever.
It’s because of that damn blacksmith.
Also, it is because of the blacksmith’s grandson.
-You guys! Can’t you keep your back straight?
– Knights! Don’t you need any seeds? No, what happens to the article? I’ve been practicing mana these days… .
I wonder how much I suffered.
The same was true for other Wolyoungs.
“Captain, is this correct?”
“Can’t I run away right now?”
“There are no people who deserve to be treated like this… .”
“Right.”
Danal laughed empty-handed and dismissed their words.
“We’re escaped assassins, aren’t we?”
What does it mean that he turned his back on Wolyoung and committed himself to Kasha?
This means that he is a traitor who leaked Wolyoung’s secret to Kasha.
Are you going to run away like this and live a wandering life?
There was no way it would succeed.
Wolyoung’s headquarters will go in pursuit.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Kasha might rush to silence those who knew her identity.
Either way it’s terrible.
It would be better to hide behind a tiger’s back.
Because you can block Wolyeong and receive Kasha’s protection.
Danal said, looking at his subordinates whose will had weakened.
“What can you guys do if you run away?”
“… .”
“What can you do?”
“… .”
“We can’t do anything, you bastards.”
There was dew around Danal’s eyes as he said that.
At that moment, the subordinates also shed tears.
This is the position of Dongbyeon Sangryun, and also the position of the Destiny Community.
The former Wolyoung and current Portman family’s reserve knights were showing signs of unity today as well.
“We only have each other. know?”
“It’s always been that way.”
Wolyoung embraced each other.
