Helen's story
Helen begins to talk quietly.
「After I finished the work near the border with the demon world, I was asked to patrol the border area with the empire and take down bandits.」
The work near the boundary of the demon world is the one that caused Nida to come to my house.
「After receiving this, Me and my friends were sent to a village near the border to take care of them. Bandits there plagued them, so they were very welcoming.」
「Do you always work with the troops?」
「That's because one or two people can't do it, Well, I didn't belong to any particular mercenary group but I worked with a group of people every time.」
I asked Helen. Helen was the only rescued target but if they were acting in units, there must have been captured others.
「I was told by a resident of the village that the bandits were in the area, and that's when I went out to scout alone. I saw some strange people.」
「Strange people?」
「 ah! He was well dressed and well-armed. They looked like they had a lot of money for frontier bandits I thought this is not bandits. There were quite a few of them.」
Helen draw breath there. I and everyone else listened to Helen's story in silence.
「It was after another job and I had done it so many times before that. I must have been a bit relaxed about taking down the bandits. They snuck up behind me and seized me.
It was a masterstroke. If I'd been paying attention to that side, I might have been able to slash him and get away with it.」
She didn't go head-to-head and lose. Well, I don't want a lot of people to win head-to-head against Helen.
Diana gasped when she heard Helen's words about being seized. Helen glances away and continues talking.
「After taking away my weapon, the leader of the group asked me, "Did you hear what I just said?” As soon as I saw him, I shook my head, well he wouldn’t trust me.」
「Even if you really didn’t they would never believe it. 」
Helen nodded broadly at my words.
「I wouldn’t trust it either. I saw them there in the first place. So, they took me over.」
「They didn't do anything to you?」
「He persisted in asking me why I was there. Although not in an harsh way」
Diana asked worriedly, and Helen answered crudely.
In fact, there is very little noticeable trauma. I don't know that she was treated as a guest because she was exhausted when I rescued her.
「Well, this time it's over once and for all, Get some rest.」
「Thank you. , I will」
My words broke Helen's face and the debriefing was over.
Everyone returns to their rooms one by one (Helen is in the guest room). I went back to my room too.
The bed felt good for the first time in several days. I think it must have been because everyone in the house took care of it.
On the other hand, I had a concern. Why Helen was the only captured one? Who were the people that Helen came across?
I can't seem to get my head around it. I hope the day comes when we can find out. As I was thinking this, I easily lost my struggle with sleepiness.
Moreover, the answer came unexpectedly from the other side.
The next day, I did my usual routine of fetching water (with krull, of course), preparing meals and doing nothing but playing with krull. Then the day after that.
After completing our morning routine, we load our luggage onto a cart and head into town. In fact, it has been less than a month since the last time I was here, but it feels like it has been a long time.
Helen's first time riding in a dragon car towed by krull and she was quite excited, wearing the wig. It's fast, and the shaking doesn't come with a zest.
「Running dragons are awesome!」
「Right?」
Helen's words make Diana to stick out her chest. She is like a mother who is pleased when her beloved daughter praised. In reality though, there is not much difference.
「I guess these carts swing slow like the ones at Camillo's. 」
「The original one is this cart.」
「I see. Eizo can do a lot」
「As much as I can do.」
What kind of blacksmith can even handle a rescue, I think to myself but I can't do what I can't do. It would be impossible, for example, to command on the battlefield.
I can only do what is within my personal reach.
The dragon car moves along a leisurely scenic road and eventually reaches the town. After exchanging greetings with the familiar guards, we arrived at Camillo's.
Incidentally, I hid her because it would be troublesome if the guards knew Helen, but There’s no problem.
I leave krull as usual and enter the business meeting room. The number of people over here is increasing, but it is spacious enough I don't feel cramped yet.
I feel like I'm being observed a bit, but I guess that's called paranoia.
After a short wait, Camillo and Clerk arrived as usual. However, there is one unusual thing.
I was surprised to see the faces I knew so well in this world.
「Hey Eizo, it's been a while since we've met in person. 」
Unmistakable Face: it's Marius, Count of Amour.
