My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

It’s hard to say that you’re ready, but no matter how dissatisfied you are, time won’t wait. In the end, I couldn’t think of any measures that could be expected to be effective other than requesting cooperation from the task.

Even if you mention that this expedition is a trap, you cannot believe it even if the content of the story is true unless there is solid evidence. The only other thing that can be done is to alert the Cody.

It doesn’t make much sense either.

Going at a slow speed while pulling the reins of a loaded horse through a rocky area where large and small rocks are rolling around. I felt that my mood-heavy gait was getting heavier on a bad road.

“Harold with more shoulder strength. Your face is five times stronger than usual.”

Sid, who was walking side by side, threw words at Harold, who was stubborn, as if to tease him.

The members of the Cody Corps have said something similar every day from the first day of the expedition. Perhaps he is nervous on his first mission.

There is no doubt that I am nervous though the meaning is different.

However, the trouble is that Harold’s remarks such as “Be careful” and “Be careful of the surroundings” are considered to be overly careful due to tension. It has been done. Many people, including Robinson and others, thought that this expedition was less dangerous and urgent than the more experienced people.

It’s not that I’m not alert or prepared, but I’m sure there’s plenty of room. To put it badly, there is no tightness in the air.

“You are just too loose. If the battle begins, you will die first.”

“Who is the battle?” “Isn’t it?”

“The location of the patrol mission is along the border. The suspicious witness may be an imperial person.”

“Well, that may be the case. Even so, the information is about 30 people at most, isn’t it for reconnaissance purposes? This is an organization of more than 200 people, and even if it happens to be a battle, it will kick quickly. It’s scattered and it’s over. “

First of all, it’s not a battle. I don’t understand what Sid wants to say.

It’s like 30 reconnaissance fighting against a well-equipped and well-supplied opponent in an enemy territory, wasting your strength. The Knights humans understand how pointless it is, and therefore conclude that no battle can occur.

However, that is the case when the prior information is correct. This time, the probability is high, which is broken from that premise.

In the original battle, many people were supposed to die. You should see the ambush and surprise attacks awaiting you in the woods.

I wonder why Sid can afford to encounter Iary Cloud and die during this time.

When I was able to return safely, let’s treat it more than ever and crush such a margin into fine dust.

Thinking about something bad, Harold stabs a nail that he doesn’t remember how many.

“If you don’t want to die, be prepared to respond even if the battle starts at this moment. Well, you probably know it.”

p>

“Hey Hey”

Sid, who has become accustomed to Harold’s sarcastic remarks, seemed to be pushing his arms.

Better yet, I want to throw away the future that awaits me, but there is no evidence that I can believe it, and on the contrary, I may be distrustful or suspicious.

At least I tried to instill a sense of crisis in the Cody squad, but it didn’t work, and after a few days I arrived at a town near the Bertis Forest. rice field. While staying here, he will perform patrol missions in the woods and in the suburbs.

(Ah … what should I do?)

I arrived in the town in the evening, so the next day’s preparations are over. Harold, who had a free time, lost his way in the sunset-stained town.

The silhouette is sparse due to the time zone. It’s not a big town in the first place.

Walk down a quiet street, worrying about unanswered questions. Harold’s feet went into the back alley, though I wasn’t aware of it, partly because he devoted most of his resources to his thoughts.

Shortly after that, the foot stopped.

This is because I returned to myself. And I also realize that I am lost. I’m not sure where or how I walked.

I am amazed at what I am doing. In an unpopular back alley, I came up with such a thought.

“… Stop it. How long do you want to continue?”

Harold’s mouth, even if it’s a soliloquy for himself Is somehow high pressure.

However, the next moment, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere. Those in black costumes who seem to have melted from the dusk. It stands out as if it were a ninja.

Surrounded by such an eerie group, Harold’s alertness instantly rises to the maximum, as if it were an enemy attack.

However, contrary to expectations, a dozen or so black costumes do not move. I was wondering if I would be glaring at him as it was, but one of the black costumes stepped forward and removed the cloth covering his face, which was hiding all but his eyes.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Harold ~”

A voice that doesn’t suit the tension. The outfit has changed a lot from the kappogi that I knew, but Yunho, who was supposed to be Erica’s attendant, was there.

The feeling of relief that the opponent was not an enemy but an ally relaxes the tension and pulls out of the body.

“How to use the task”

“Yes ~”

Somehow after negotiations Assistance from stripped tasks. I am very grateful that they dispatched human resources as promised.

But why is Yuno in it? To be clear, it’s a heavy job for the maid Yunho.

Well, it may be a hidden talent because it was used, but if so, she has a high probability of being an escort for Erica.

“He often allowed you to come here”

“Yes ~. Erica says” Your thoughts ” Please do it. ” I heard that Harold was ordered by the task and thought that Erica and Yunho’s master and servant had a reluctant talk.

However, in Yuno’s words, it was as if “Yuno himself came here as he wanted.”

Harold remembered something stuck there, but now he can’t afford to worry about that.

“Hmm, well. So how far are you listening?”

“Roughly …”

>

Yuno who makes words muddy. No matter how unmanned it was, it wasn’t a story of traffic.

I don’t even know where my ears are lurking.

“If so, I’ll move the place. For more information, there.”

“Well, here. There is ~ “

As expected, it is smart because it is only used for tasks.

In response to Yuno’s lines, the other black costumes disappeared into the shadow again. Does it mean that she is the only guide?

When I turned to Yunho, a fluffy smile awaited me to soften the viewer.

Harold prayed silently to her, asking her to support her well.

◇

It has already been 3 days since I arrived at the nearest town in the Bertis Forest. While doing his job as a supporter, Cody seems to have the same attitude as usual, but his heart was a little annoyed.

The trouble is Harold, a boy who just recently joined his squad.

I am monitoring Harold at the request of Vincent, the deputy leader who is the No. 2 of the Knights and also an old friend of Cody, but I doubt my subordinates. It doesn’t feel good to be there.

But it was annoying that Harold had some suspicious mysteries.

At first, I focused only on the overwhelming fighting ability, but the suspicion became clear in the battle with the mysterious red-black fog that I encountered during the test. ..

An unidentified monster. Harold’s reaction to that was that he only knew about the mist-like monsters.

He insisted that he was acting as if he had seen it for the first time, but it clearly showed Cody and his friends how to fight the red-black fog.

If there was no request from Vincent and I hadn’t doubted it from the beginning, I might have overlooked that mystery.

It’s not a detrimental action for the Knights, but if you know, why did you make such a roundabout choice?

(“Red-black Fog 《 Are 》 ”I don’t want to know that I know it exists, right?)

I have no idea why.

I don’t even know what the red-black fog is in the first place. Perhaps if the true nature of that fog can be elucidated, there is a probability that the meaning of Harold’s actions can be seen.

But now I can’t say such a generous thing. Whether it’s fighting the Knights or a mysterious monster, Harold knows well that no ordinary human can know.

He was clearly upset when he was informed that he would participate in this expedition. And after the expedition started, he repeatedly said that if he opened his mouth, he would “prepare for an attack.”

As if you “know” that you need to do so.

Also, I’m worried that I may disappear in my spare time after arriving in this town.

I can’t get rid of my unpleasant feelings. The members around him seem to think it’s because they’re nervous about their first mission, but I know Harold isn’t such a little boy.

Even if you’re shrinking inwardly, you won’t be afraid to reveal it.

Just knowing that, Harold’s relentless remarks arouse anxiety.

Should I force myself to vomit what I know? It’s hard to believe that Harold will confess, but if it’s likely to be life-threatening, he may have to choose a tough way to take care of his subordinates.

(But Harold is my major event subordinate)

That is Cody’s unwavering intention, At the same time, it was the cause of my worries.

I understand that Harold isn’t as bad as he looks because he’s been in close contact with him for months. He seems to have some secrets, but he hasn’t done anything to the detriment of the Knights so far.

I want to believe in Harold. It is a natural feeling as a superior.

But I believe because I want to believe, but it doesn’t matter. Unconditional trust is equally stupid as blind.

There is also Vincent’s request, and I can’t just leave it as it is.

Exhale a deep and long sigh.

Just thinking about it doesn’t make sense.

Better yet, say hello to Harold, “Hi, good morning. Harold, are you hiding something?” How about trying to cut it straight in front of you?

Harold may be overwhelmed with information because it is too transparent.

No, I rush into my own idea.

However, it doesn’t suit my gender, but I think it’s possible to talk with my stomach. If something happens during the patrol mission, you may not have time anymore.

With that in mind, when I was about to head to Harold, the messenger rolled into the room filled with the company commander and below with the momentum of breaking the door.

“Well, there was a report that the troops on the patrol mission were being attacked by someone! Many injured!

Each captain starts to move quickly with the messenger. The fastest of them was Cody.

When I open the door of the room where about 20 members including Harold and others are packed, I say without a break.

“It’s time for work. Gather outside with your own equipment. Then Robin-kun”

“Haha!”

“Where are you Harold?”

“I was here, but I just went somewhere …”

>

It was late. Perhaps he is heading to the scene.

Cody intuitively realized that.

“Cody Corps should follow Malik’s instructions. I’m looking for Harold!”

“Bu , Squad leader !? ”

Cody, who has shaken off Robinson’s voice, first asks the stables for confirmation. I heard that no one has borrowed the horses left behind, and the number has not decreased.

Harold probably thought that a new member without any authority couldn’t rent an emergency horse.

In other words, Harold is aiming for the Bertis Forest with his own feet. If you ride a horse, you should catch up.

Cody, who borrowed a horse from the stable, heads straight for the forest. In less than five minutes, I caught Harold’s back in sight.

Even so, it’s amazing leg strength. It took longer than expected to catch up.

If you pull out Harold and go forward, you will get off the horse and stand in front of Harold.

“Where are you going so quickly? Harold-kun”

“… What happened to you guys?”

p>

“Are you Robin? I’ve left their command to another unit.”

“Go back.

“If you say that, you too. How about going back together?”

“Refuse”

Refusal to return. Harold intends to work alone.

Harold can’t help but understand what the consequences are. Selfish single action ignoring the instructions of the superior.

Moreover, if you intervene in the battlefield, you will be punished. It goes beyond the range that Cody can keep. At worst, there is also the probability of discharge or imprisonment.

Maybe he still has a reason to go.

A boy named Harold never bends his beliefs. He has the strength to make him think so.

I’m sure verbal persuasion doesn’t make sense.

He smiles when he has a stubborn subordinate.

“Is it helpful for me to come back quietly?”

“It’s terrible. p id = “L208″> “Yes, you can’t overlook it. Don’t you hate being thrown into the storehouse?”

Well, that’s it. I wish I were alive.

If you look at Harold’s twins, you can understand it even if you don’t like it. That is the eyes of those who are prepared to jump into the dead.

Cody has seen many times the humans with those eyes often go crazy. Not a few people died.

“…”

“Don’t you think?”

It is not possible to send such an eye-catching subordinate to the battlefield.

Vincent seems to be skeptical of Harold, but Cody is not. When he first saw Harold, Cody saw him.

The figure of Harold who will be the next generation of Knights.

This is Cody’s selfishness, so to speak. It’s an ideal push.

I just hoped Harold for a future that Cody and Vincent might not be able to achieve.

Still, that’s why I don’t want to die.

Take a deep breath and tell that you will not retreat.

Pull out the sword from the scabbard and realize that you are doing something that is not a handle.

I laughed as usual and declared:

“If you want to pass here, defeat me! … What?”
