I’ll Live My Second Life!

186

The next day, when I woke up in the morning and went to the meeting point of the soldiers, I was idle in front of the fort.

There is no sign of the soldiers who are always there.

As the fies stood stunned, the soldier chief, who was at the rendezvous point, spoke with a bitter laugh.

“Ha… this is what happens the day after the festival every year”

Hangover?

Fee and the apprentice knights gave a frightened look with their eyes.

Adults usually tell the boys to hang on, and occasionally when alcohol is involved, they do this.

Fee has also seen Crowe at a rally point, saying he “drank too much” and stayed put all day.

“Ha ha… can you guys just go? From yesterday onwards, it seemed like the Apprentice Knight was the only one doing it.”

“Yes!”

We need to be firm on our own.

The apprentice knights nod in that mood.

Cognac had already come to the rendezvous point. For him, who always tends to lag behind, he wakes up pretty early.

“Hey, get together.”

Fi also honestly aligns himself before him on that instruction.

I looked at him for a moment, but he turned to me.

“I wonder if you’re okay……?

Raimier squeaks with an anxious face as usual, but he’s always too street to follow Fee in particular. His stomach ache will heal when he makes up with Cognac.

I don’t know if such a day will come.

“Then let’s go! I’ll lead the way. Follow me!

It’s usually something to explain the route before you leave, but Cognac didn’t.

But nobody points it out. It was obvious that he had been in a bad mood for a few days. We didn’t want to be the target of his frustration.

Phee didn’t want to make a scene either, so he didn’t say anything.

Follow Cognac without saying anything.

Stopping by some villages, the apprentice knights are the only ones doing the lookout. Unsurprisingly, Cognac also handled the villagers well. You’re basically a boy with a valve, so you’re probably good at that.

The lookout assignment seemed to be working.

So it was a long time after lunch that the boys realized the discomfort.

“Still not at the turning point? Isn’t that just weird?

One of the boys just gives Cognac his opinion.

Even after noon the troops of the apprentice knights were taking a route away from the fort.

The boys alone were just beginning to look around. I heard that even Route can go home before sundown.

But it’s already past noon.

Now even if I turn around and go back, the sun will fall along the way.

We’re on the right route.

Cognac objected with a grumpy face.

“No, but it just takes too long, doesn’t it?

“Hey, show us the map, too.”

Suspicious boys ask Cognac.

“You mean I can’t be trusted!

But Cognac quickly cried out and refused to do so. As much as we imagined, he himself was hypersensitive to the failures of a few days ago.

“I remember this one checking the route with Mr. John so many times. You’re walking the right route as instructed! I’m not wrong! If there’s a reason you’re late, it’s because these guys are walking sloppily!

That’s right. Cognac pointed to the Fees.

Sure enough, the Fees were walking talkin ‘. But that’s because they taught me there was no choice but to be too distracted by the long run. While talking, the surroundings were moderately vigilant.

Plus, if the boys were slowing down, there’s also a cause for Cognac, who didn’t share the route beforehand.

Knowing your goals and just following them will change the way you walk.

But Fee thought it was useless to say it, and pointed nothing out to Cognac that way.

Cognac gave an annoying look at it, but thanks to it, it was avoided that it would be contentious.

“We’re going anyway! If you think it’s too late, hurry and walk!

That’s how Cognac walks out.

The other apprentice knights have a troubled face and follow it.

Then about two hours later, as always, Cognac’s walking route was moving away from the direction of the fort.

“We’re running out of villages, aren’t we?

When I left the fort, I had a village to stop by every 30 minutes, and other than that, I could see the village from a distance, but for a few hours or so, more and more villages in the eyes of the boys had ceased to be easy.

Besides, there hasn’t even been a village to stop by for the last three hours or so.

The only forest that now covers the perimeter of the Fees is the one that tried to.

“Cognac, are you sure you’re okay?

“You persevere!

The boys in the relatively close south quarters also ask Cognac, but Cognac with a tingly attitude refuses to even do so.

In their eyes like that, a few minutes later, one village appeared.

It’s a rusty village deep in the woods.

A smile returns to Cognac’s face.

“This is the last village. Just go a little further from here, and it’s a turning point.”

That said, Cognac rushes into the village.

The fies continued as well.

As for the time, is it about 3pm already?

If we go back to the fort from here, the wilderness may be inevitable. The boys thought that.

When I enter the village, the old village chief greets me.

“Is this, is that outfit an apprentice knight? Welcome to this country village. You must be tired of rustling. Rest in this village if you like.”

“Really? Bye.”

Plus Cognac tries to respond with a smile.

But Fi stopped that.

“I just don’t have time for this. If there’s no abnormality, let’s go first.”

“Become, you!?

Cognac frowned at Fee, who had spoken.

But I also have to speak out as Fee.

“As it is, we’re going to have an evening in the woods. The forest here is deep and easy to lose sight of even if you walk in the direction of the fort, and I want to keep the forest area at least until the sun goes down”

“Gu……”

To Phee’s words, Cognac gets stuck in words.

“Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you stay in our village? You can have a decent bed, and you can cook specialty dishes.”

The boys also smiled at the suggestion.

Before the sun went down anymore, it was certain that we would not be able to reach the fort. I want to sleep in a decent bed than Nojuku. Besides, although I took my lunch, my stomach was a little less.

But Fi bows his head to Pepper and the village chief and refuses the proposal.

“I’m sorry, I’m scheduled for a day trip, so I can’t stay at our discretion. If there’s nothing strange, we’re leaving already.”

“Whoa, come on, you’re on your own!

“It’s Cognac you’re trying to do something unsolicited. It’s already this time, so maybe we should crap Nojuku’s judgment eventually, but now it’s supposed to be the time we can still travel. You can’t stay on your own. Let’s go. We did go back and there was a pack of soldiers a few hours away, so if we’re going to rest, let’s go there.”

Phee thus tries to hasten the village by leading the apprentice knights. Confused, the apprentice knights try to come up with the right opinion.

The moment Cognac, who thought he’d been deprived of command, tried to complain to Fee.

The village chief sat down.

“Shh, excuse me! Dear Apprentice Knights! Please save us!
