What surprised Gus, who was reluctant at first, was that in the next few days, the mother and daughter they rescued did not hinder his schedule.

Because of that carriage, and with some of her hints and misdirection magic, they were able to run unimpeded and avoid the chaos, checkpoints and unnecessary battles along the way as quickly as possible.

.

And then……

Then there is nothing more.

Since the mother and daughter were pitiful and had nowhere to go, Gus was preoccupied and indifferent to external affairs, and a certain bad little girl couldn't take care of herself, so Shi, who couldn't bear it,

Erji had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep the two people with him. It was not until today that they arrived at their destination, the former earldom, and then handed the mother and daughter over to an agency outside the city that was specifically responsible for accepting refugees.

In the camp.

Immediately afterwards, the vehicle carrying three people quickly arrived in front of the city gate.

At this time, the family flag of the original Earl's family was no longer hanging high on its city head. Instead, it was flying a golden cross with a red background and a golden cross formed by two opposite semi-closed semicircles and a bunch of straight lines.

The unfamiliar flag is also very different from the flag of the King's Hall.

But Gus and Annie recognized it. It was the flag of the Holy Light. Annie had drawn it before and showed it to Crete. Unexpectedly, it was now used.

"It seems we can't go directly into the city."

"Let's go get in line!"

In front of the city gate, seeing a soldier on duty in front waving his hand, Shirji had no choice but to rein in the two white horses she had conjured using magic and transformation spells, let them stop slowly, and then gathered them together.

He entered the queue of horse-drawn carriages entering the city.

"He was not strong at all at that time. He still had to challenge such a powerful enemy. There were five of them. He tried to challenge one of them and couldn't win for a long time. He thought he had a good chance of winning. In fact,

It’s just that others didn’t deal with him seriously at all.”

Then, amid Annie's exclamations, as the order of the crowd gradually stabilized, Gus and Shirji also saw: a female knight wearing gorgeous golden armor and a silver cape leading a group of similarly armored people.

The knights, who were gorgeous, but in gold and silver, and whose armors and cloaks had the same holy cross pattern as the flags on the city wall, began to slowly walk out with people cheering and surrounding them.

'not good!'

Because he heard the crowd seem to be shouting something like 'Daughter of Light'?

And the term 'Daughter of Light' made him subconsciously think of a certain 'Eagle of Light', the guy who hated him to the core.

Likewise, when he saw the leading woman smiling and waving to the crowd, Gus couldn't help but feel a little lost, and the one eye was full of surprise and disbelief.

"no!"

And if there weren't a large number of soldiers stationed at the city gate at this time and actively maintaining order, the carriage of three people would have been overturned by the crowd.

"Well?"

Seeing that there were quite a lot of vehicles queuing up in front, I was afraid that the three of me would not be able to take my turn for a while, so Shirji, who controlled the carriage and queued up in an orderly manner, thought about it and randomly found a topic.

and asked curiously.

Unfortunately, it was a bit far there, and even if she was sitting in the driver's seat of the car, she was not high enough, so she had no idea who the people were cheering and welcoming.

But irony is irony, he had to accomplish that thing no matter what, and even, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, he traveled half of the Kingdom of Mitland and came here specifically today, hoping to get something here.

Raise your own army in order to fight against that bastard who is marching here and there pretending to save people and preaching everywhere that the 'Eagle' is the savior.

“Just think about it!”

"Let's go to the city first."

Anyway, he is not in a hurry for half a day, especially when he has not thought about how to say something.

Gus' eyelids twitched, but in the end he had no intention of talking to Shirji.

‘!!’

"..."

(*^▽^*)

"What are you looking at? Did they say something wrong?"

"And Brother Gus?!"

Almost instantly, people hundreds of meters around the city gate were shocked. Then, including those who were knocked to the ground, they all turned their heads to look into the air where the explosions and flames appeared, and successfully saw something.

The sparks are slowly dissipating.

"Hello!"

'Uhhhhh!!'

╭(′▽`)╯

ヽ(o｀)

"It's us!"

'Yeah, it's really true!'

He did find it. The meaning of his life now is: revenge on Griffith, kill that Griffith, stab the opponent with his big sword, chop the opponent into pieces, chop off the opponent's dog head, and then destroy the opponent on the way.

All the machinations!

all!!

"..."

()hey-hey!

'Daughter of Light!!!'

Then, without any explanation, she quickly took out the short wand that Anne gave her with one hand, held her own big wand with the other hand, and stood up on the shaft of the car, ready to defend or counterattack.

Prepare.

Soon, Annie smiled strangely, as if she had really thought of a good idea.

Seeing Annie starting to get angry, Gus didn't argue, but looked away boredly, planning to let Annie handle it on her own.

'Whoa!!'

Shirji was also a little puzzled by the sudden commotion. She even dropped the witch's pointed hat on her head in the chaos. So, without bothering to pick it up, she hurriedly stretched her neck towards the crowd.

Looking in the direction of City Gate Cave.

Seeing this, Shirji became anxious.

"Is that really the case?"

'Daughter of Light!!'

‘Run!!’

(ψ｀╭╮′)o~

Then, under the slightly dull gazes of Gus and Shirji, Annie grabbed a ball of fire and threw it into the air without even thinking about there were so many people at the scene.

()

"We almost got into a fight!"

(°ー°〃)

Anne stood up directly, then stood on tiptoes on the shaft of the carriage and began to look in the same direction, but she also saw nothing. She only knew that a group of knights were separating from the crowd surrounded by soldiers to prepare.

come out.

"Stop!!"

'Isn't it over there?'

(ˇεˇ)

"Sister Clete!"

ヾ(′▽｀*)

As he looked at it, and then looked at the fluttering flag patterns that he had seen before when he was praying, he couldn't help but feel in a trance, and his thoughts could not help but wander.

At this time, Annie suddenly got out of the carriage and squeezed in to sit on the other side of Shirji. At the same time, she hugged his arm and started grinning:

'That is how the matter?'

"never mind."

"Do you know that female knight?"

"..."

'It's the daughter of light who has come out!'

‘Yes, she is a witch!!!’

"Alas!"

Gus opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but in the end, he had to turn around with his arms folded, just sitting sideways on the shaft of the car and continued to look at the bustling crowd outside the car.

It has a deep look and maintains its original boring gourd look.

'Very good!'

"What's wrong?"

(o;)!

()

"Just do it!"

At the same time, rows of crossbowmen appeared on the city head not far away, aiming their loaded crossbow arrows at the three people at the carriage shaft.

"Of course!"

After all, she was not talking nonsense. Just last time, at the home of Gott and Erica, at the sword grave, the other party had a fierce fight with the men of the 'Light Eagle' who was reincarnated into a human form.

In the end, although a large group of heroic spirits were summoned to help in the battle, there was no doubt that a certain strange uncle still lost, and he lost miserably.

'Wha, what exploded?'

Shirji knew that Gus and Annie came here just to find someone they knew. Maybe it was the heroic female knight who led the people out on horseback. But now, although they had found them just after they arrived, they had no way to talk to them.

It's really a pity.

(へ╬)

"There were too many people, and she didn't notice it at all!"

Finally, if the 'Eagle of Light' hadn't seemed to be in a hurry to leave due to some stimulation, there would probably have been an extra giant sword standing there at the sword tomb.

"Go for it!"

"quick!"

'The Daughter of Light is coming out!'

'look!'

"At that time, he attacked someone else's fortress alone and chopped off the spicy meat mountain monster until only one head was left. Then there was the Behelet, the one you mentioned before, Sister Shirji.

The 'key' connecting the Hand of God to the Abyss was activated, and then those bad guys appeared."

"It's one of our own!"

"What to do?"

(`^)

"Who knows if she will come back if she leaves the city?"

"Yes!"

‘The witch is coming!!!’

"Surround that evil witch around me!"

"What should we do?"

‘Wow!!’

"Gus?"

Shirji looked at Gus, then at Anne, and then quickly pointed to the beautiful and heroic female knight in golden armor who had led the team to ride out from the city gate in the distance and asked.

"Your Excellency the Protector Saint!!"

"??"

Looking at the frowning crowd, Gus knew that this was not the time to come forward to talk and reminisce, so Gus said nonchalantly, preparing to wait until the other party left and went into the city after order was restored before thinking about anything else.

Method.

()

"I know her very well!"

'What?'

Anne didn't mind either, she just added it confidently.

"that is……"

o(*｀ー)o

Of course Annie was very dissatisfied with Gus's arrangement, so while retorting, she turned back and glared at him unhappily.

"hateful!!"

"who is it?!"

Under the scolding and command of a certain general, they quickly regained their composure, and then divided into two groups. One group protected the group of cavalry that had just left the city, while the other group fiercely moved towards a certain instigator.

, Shirji and Gus surrounded the carriage aggressively and instantly surrounded the carriage with weapons.

'Holy Light, please have mercy on us...'

'where?'

boom!!!

After it flew to a height of more than ten meters, it exploded and made a loud noise. At the same time, a small ball of orange-red sparks exploded, and the hot air waves blew away the people around their carriage.

He was knocked directly to the ground.

"??"

=('ヮ'=)

After shouting for a while and finding that it had no effect, Annie couldn't help but feel a little angry, and then stamped her feet on the car's shaft angrily.

‘!!’

o(^｀)o

"Of course, I'm not very strong now. I probably won't be able to beat him in a one-on-one fight!"

But at this time, Gus, who was also sitting by the car's shaft with his body tilted next to Shirji, had nothing to add.

"Hello!"

()

"He was almost hacked to death. If he hadn't hit him accidentally at that time, he accidentally burned the head of the meat mountain monster with the holy flame, so that there would be no executor for the initiated ritual, and those guys would not be able to do it.

If he hadn't disappeared, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high now!"

Now that I think about it, that kind of thing is indeed ironic.

(ψ｀▽′)o

"result……"

"Is it Annie?"

But at this time, Gus, who had been in a trance just now, ignoring others and not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly sat upright, frowned, and looked at the city gate with his dangerous single eye.

Looking in the direction of the cheering crowd.

whispering sound!

But Gus didn't care at all. He looked around, then curled his lips and turned away with disdain, still sitting in his position so casually, not even trying to pick up his giant sword.

means to fight back.

'flame?'

Perhaps, it was only during the period at the end of the Hundred Years War, during the very short period of time when he was made a noble of the Kingdom of Midland due to his merits, that he was seen inside and outside that prosperous royal capital?

He still remembered that at that time, he saw the true meaning of life from Griffith, whom he admired so much at the time, and then he was inspired, so he resolutely chose to say goodbye and left the Eagle Group.

He gave up his noble status and wanted to find the true meaning of his life.

"Of course I know you!"

Hahaha(*)

After talking about the situation at that time, Annie didn't care at all about the face of Uncle Gus on the other side of Shirji, which was almost blackened. She just talked to herself and gloated about the misfortune, adding jealousy and ridicule.

(′～`●)

"It seems like some big shot is coming out, but no one saw it..."

ヾ(⌒⌒*)

|ω)

Anne said that the other person was almost captured and beheaded by those bad guys, and was so scared that he peed his pants. If she hadn't been bored and gave the other person something fun, I'm afraid the guy still doesn't know what his end will be.

Well, let alone being as cool as now.

"..."

‘Is she the daughter of the Holy Light?’

乛乛

'where?!'

"Arrest them!!"

"that……"

Suddenly, the citizens who were waiting to enter or exit the city or doing some small business near the city gate suddenly became noisy and crazy, and then they all shouted a certain name and rushed in a certain direction in unison.

(°ー°〃)

After saying that, Anne didn't forget to glance back at the weird uncle next to her, whose face had turned completely dark. She didn't take her matter of not giving him any face seriously at all.

He was just looking at the bustling city gates in front of him, the bustling towns outside the city, the refugee villages, the smiling faces on people's faces, and the energetic silver-armored soldiers on the city walls.

"!!"

"Gus?"

Suddenly, Annie couldn't help but exclaimed, as if she had discovered something.

Then……

"this!"

But the result...

"This should be the place where you defeated the Earl's apostle and almost got into a fight with those Hands of God, right?"

"Huh?"

"You guys..."

"!!"

It's a pity that she was a little too short, and there were a lot of people gathering here, so Clete, who was slowly riding out from the city gate with people, didn't pay attention to her at all.

Here, you might hear her shouting, which was instantly drowned in the noise of the crowd.

()

"Then he went crazy and started fighting with a dark guy wearing a bald hood."

o(^｀)o

After saying that, Anne really started to think seriously and rack her brains.

()

"The fight has already begun!"

Shirji was a little surprised, and then quickly turned to look at Gus who was sitting on the other side of him leaning on the car body, and asked repeatedly.

"What happened?"

"He never fought!"

"!!"

He just glanced at a certain troubled little girl with his one eye, and then continued to look silently at the city gate and city in front of him, which were generally the same as when he first came, but now more ornately decorated.

I don't know what I'm thinking about in my heart.

"??"

(o`o)

"snort!"

"wrong!"

"!!"

Then, when they saw the flames seemed to explode above a carriage, there were still three people sitting or standing at the shaft of the carriage, one of whom was actually wearing a witch's robe and a witch's hat.

The witch and another little girl were holding another ball of fire in their hands. I don’t know who screamed first, and then the hundreds of people crowded nearby dispersed in a hurry.

Soon there was only a mess on the ground and the lonely carriage in which Anne and the three of them were sitting.

"There is an assassin!!"

"It's not urgent. You can visit them another day."

Soon, when the pretty and slender female knight in golden armor saw clearly the appearance of Anne and a rough-faced man sitting languidly on the shaft of the carriage, she also exclaimed in surprise.

While the citizens were in chaos and running around, the soldiers who were maintaining order were not idle.

"Did you really get involved with a being like that?!"

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"..."

(^o^)

However, Anne was not prepared to say much about that kind of thing. She just stood on the shaft of the car and waved vigorously at the other party and shouted loudly.

"We can't get through it now..."

"Then you figure it out yourself."

"ah!"

"Those people are..."

"have no idea."

"?!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

“Sister Clete, I’m here!!”

Anne also didn't care about the fierce soldiers who were surrounding her, and she didn't even act like a certain green-haired witch who was facing an enemy. She just continued to cheer and looked towards someone who was already looking in this direction.

The leading female knight who came over continued to wave and say hello happily.

He had not seen such a prosperous and harmonious scene in front of him for a long time.

"Get back, everyone!!!"

Then, while hurriedly shouting at the soldiers who were planning to take someone back, she rode her horse and rushed over at the lead.
