Chapter 49
The Woman who was called the Princess Knight
The next morning .
I had my breakfast on the ground floor of the inn .
What I’m wearing today are the clothes that I had changed into yesterday and a dry robe .
My uniform was kept into the hemp bag .
Last night, I had a good night’s sleep .
My head was also really refreshed .
The dining room had already been half-filled with people by the ti I went down to the ground floor .
It seems there are still so people who are drinking sake even at this ti of the day .
I can see that most of the people in the mornings were rcenaries .
After I’m finished on eating my al, I inquired sothing towards the innkeeper .
[I would like to ask so questions about that recruitnt for raiding that ruins . The one where the Marquis is gathering people for . ]
[Ah, Hati-sama seems to have gotten word of it too . Yes, the lord were certainly looking for people to raid that newly found floor in the ruins . ]
The innkeeper told about the recruitnt .
It seems that there’s going to be a briefing today .
There’s no special requirents to be able to join .
It seems that registration has been going smooth for mbers of the rcenary Guild .
That ans even I can participate .
The eting place is a plaza on the outskirts of town .
I went back to my room and hid Pigimaru under my room . I decided to head for this plaza .
v
I imdiately knew the plaza designated eting place upon getting near the place .
It was because the area was lively .
My field of view beca wider as soon as I pass through the path towards the forest .
At a glance, I could see about... fifty people?
Everyone I see looks like they’re used to travelling and fighting .
Their images looks close to what travelers or rcenaries that co to my mind .
It can be said that this could almost look like the place where there’s a shooting for those overseas fantasy dramas .
There was a platform in one corner of the plaza .
It looks like an event stage .
The organizer will probably explain on top of that .
[Should I buy sothing that could tell the ti later?]
The way they tell ti here seems to be close to the ones from my original world .
There are twelve beasts that were assigned to the normal twelve hours back in my world .
Each beast indicates the ti assigned for them from 1 o’clock to 12 o’clock .
There’s also the concept of AM and PM in here .
The yang beasts indicate the AM and the yin beasts indicate the PM .
However, it’s too confusing if I based it on the standards of this world .
So I just set my mind and kept on following on the sense of ti that I’m used to .
I left the inn just before 9:30 am .
According to the innkeeper, the organizers designated ti for etup is 10:00 am .
At that ti, a voice rang out from one corner of the plaza .
[Hohhooo~!?]
A slightly hoarse voice rang out loudly .
[It seems that one person that’s out of place from everyone around got mixed in the crowd, isn’t it?]
Hmm?
Don’t tell , is he talking about ?
[I would still know even if you’re wearing that cloak, you know? You look too prim for this place . Even from the parts that aren’t covered by your hood, I could tell you’re an extrely beautiful woman, you know? Moreover, there’s that elegance that’s drifting about your body . Surely, this lady must have so reputation on her na, right? Well then milady, why are you in this place?]
I’m mistaken .
He’s not talking about .
The tall and slender macho looks like he’s talking about a slender woman .
[What is it?]
That voice...
I listened carefully to the voice of that slender macho .
[Oh hoo~!? You have quite a clear voice, huh!? It’s as if you’re—]
The slender macho’s eyes opened wide as if he saw through sothing .
[It looks like you’re the forr leader of the the Holy Knights!]
The surroundings began to get bustling .
[Eh? You an that woman, the Princess Knight Seras Ashrain?]
[Is she the one who was rumored to be the princess of the country of High Elves?]
[I heard about that rumor where she had disappeared from Neia, which is now occupied by Bakuos . ]
[Eh!? That forr leader is now here in Mills!? Really!?]
[Didn’t Bakuos Empire offer a lot of bounty for her capture?]
That slender macho deliberately took the attention of others .
I just watched over the situation .
She’s probably that woman that I had t in the forest .
I knew of that from her voice .
But, there’s no reason for to help her .
I have no debts to settle with her nor does she have one towards . I am no longer associated with that woman after that instance in the forest .
Besides, I don’t want to stand out now .
Even if that’s not so, I’m still not going to lend a hand for her .
Why is it?
That woman still had the composure after being discovered by others .
It’s not like she’s in any trouble .
It’s as if she’s her whole being is full of composure .
It may be that she still has a way out of here .
If I just intervene unnecessarily, I may even accidentally get in her way .
Well—
[............]
I think it’s possible for to paralyze everyone in here anyway .
The slender macho rushed towards the woman .
[Actually, I’ve never t that leader of the Holy Knights in Neia . I heard though that she was a very beautiful person . It’s just that... I had invited you for to eat out with , but I was coldly refused!]
[I don’t even rember seeing you . ]
[Guh~!]
The slender macho looks like he took quite the damage there . He had a really displeased expression on his face .
[I see— Is that so, I understand . I still rember it though . Even at that ti, you’re still acting like that . You have that higher-than-thou attitude of yours and didn’t even have the slightest interest towards others, huh?]
[......... . . ]
[That’s also the reason why! The reason why I rember your face well in my mory! Even that already ripe part of yours, that pathetic excuse of a pair of breasts! I rember it all! It’s useless to deny it, you know!? You’re that fallen Princess Knight who had turned into a pathetic fugitive!]
[Excuse , but did you get the wrong person?]
The slender macho grinned .
[If that’s so, can you show us your ears?]
The slender macho proudly pointed at the woman’s hood .
[......... . ]
[The Elven Race have sharp ears that are different from humans! Well, your ears can’t be seen from that loose hood your wearing! Yes! It’s obvious that you’re trying to hide sothing! It’s clearer than white!]
Certainly, her hood is quite loose .
It’d be no wonder if you’re hiding your long ears there .
[Everyone here knows there are rarely any Elves that were wandering around here! No! There haven’t been any sightings of them in the Urza Kingdom at all! But– However– What if–! What if it’s the fugitive of her own country that has been talked about recently! That fugitive is a High Elf! Fuhahaha! You’re a fool in thinking that you could deceive ! Those sharp ears of yours is the very evidence that you are Seras Ashrain!]
The slender macho’s hand is about to reach out towards the woman’s hood .
[You’re quite naive in thinking you could deceive ! Naive naive naive! Naiiiivveeeee—!]
Gabaaahh!
Her hood has been removed .
The woman’s concealed head is exposed .
[See that~!? The identity of the Princess Knight was revealed by this — The “Flash”, Monk Dorogetti! Look at this, everyone! These sharp ears~! And also, her exceptional beauty! If you can see her face even once, her face would be burned into your mory that I doubt you could—]
The slender macho’s face hardens .
[—ever forget it... Eh? Eh!? What the!?]
The woman’s ears were clearly human’s .
They’re not sharp at all .
[......... . ]
Well, it’s as I thought .
She’s that woman that I had asked things about in the forest .
She revealed her face when most of my questions were answered .
That is indeed the woman that I had t in the forest .
Did that woman also co to Mills because of this recruitnt?
The slender macho’s face turned pale .
[Im- Impossible!? Moreover—]
The slender macho stared hard at the woman’s face .
[It’s d- different!? Her face is different!]
The woman sighed .
[Like I said, I’m asking you if you got the wrong person . My na isn’t Seras Ashrain . My na is Mist Barkas . ]
The woman indifferently said with her clear voice .
[Have you had enough now?]
