185 - - The Water in the Garden

A heavenly horse falls from the sky.

From a horse as white as the clouds in midsummer, Kal descends without feeling the weight of his armor. The sword he has drawn is already in its scabbard. He looks good for nothing, even though he used to break eggs with that sword. But stay away from me!　I told you not to come!

With a toss of his cloak, Cal kneels before me. Please stop, it hurts me to look around.

"Lord, I'm sorry that my former compatriot turned his sword on me."

"Jeeziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!　Untie this thing quickly!"

Galahad is shouting angrily. The knights a little further away were also confused and angry. Agravain, too, kneels down and looks at Cal in anger. Agravain, who seems to be relatively free from the neck up, is looking at us, shaking and trembling. ...... What's that?　Are your bangs out of place?　Let's pretend we didn't see .......

After looking around at the knights, he turns his attention back to Cal.

"It doesn't matter. No need to apologize or kneel. If it's the influence of the tilt, take them to the temple as quickly as you can.

He answers, concentrating on his face so that his expression does not change. I saw nothing!

"Ha!"

With a reply, he once fell on his face, and Kalu stood up, having dealt with his cloak.

"Galahad, how long are you playing?　I'm taking Agravain to the temple."

"Whose fault is it, old man!　I'm unequipped, so don't drag me into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as Galahad stands up, he changes to his usual equipment with a large sword on his back. If he had been equipped, would he have been able to resist Cal's skill?

"It's good that you got here before I did, but that doesn't help the Lord."

"We're not here to fight!　The Eagle kicked me out before I could change my equipment!"

Galahad, you're in for a rude awakening. But, as fellow knights of the Garden of Asha, go for it!　He swears and holds the knights back, and then puts them all together. Oh, I'm getting more and more out of sync.

"My Lord, I think those who stopped by the Fast are almost done with the temple. The knights who have escaped from under the influence are helping out, so we have more men. From now on, we are going to expand our area to the main cities of the Isle of Gears. --It is great that we were able to bring Gawain back to his senses after his near miss at Ekaterina's place earlier."

Baron and Fagat will come later. Well, the Isle is next to the Empire, and it is a country in trouble, so I guess they took priority.

"The old man has done something spectacular, and if word gets out, they will come to the Isle.

Galahad's addition convinces me that he wasn't just showing off for nothing. In the meantime, please take Mr. Agravain, whose bangs are getting more and more out of place, away as soon as possible. I'm afraid I'm going to call him Wigwane next time I see him, since I've forgotten his name. He looks so young. .......

"Lord, Fuso is a closed country. I thought the empire had no influence on it, but maybe not. Take care."

"Call me if you need me, but this time I'll be armed."

"Yeah."

It was noisy when I arrived, but when I left, it was just a moment of [transition]. It was worth all the hard work at the casino. Cal's cavalryman also scratched the ground with his paw, and then disappeared. The amma is cool, but I don't have the courage to ride it.

I wonder if Agravain was jealous of Kal's hairy head, which is of indeterminate age, when he cast a more hateful glance at Kal than at Galahad. Why didn't he just shave it off gracefully? .......

With the noisy knights gone, all that remained were the stares from his fellow travelers.

"Oh, sorry I kept you waiting. Is the ship on time?"

The test is to say as if nothing is wrong under the questioning eyes.

"Homura, I can't do this. I can't do it, Homura, I can't do it.

Peter smiling.

"Galahad is an official of the empire. When you say Galahad in the Empire, you don't mean the Red Knight, do you?"

Ruba, with a distant look in her eyes, mentions Galahad. The title he gives to Galahad's patka is [Red Warrior], but some of his titles are [Red Knight], come to think of it.

"We spent half a year fishing for him!　How dare you snatch it from me out of the blue!

Amane pressed me, and all I could do was apologize for that. If Ukon wasn't around, he would have grabbed her by the chest.

"empire,skill to rule knights,tenma,blonde ......"

"By the way, [Green Knight] Gawain has black hair."

Sakon mumbles to himself, and Ukon says, "I'm not sure I can do this.

"[Knight of the Lake] Lancelot ......!"

If you only mention hair color, does Gawain also share the same <<<>?　As I was thinking this, Sakon looked at me with a look of incredulity.

"What, a lie!　Master Lancelot!　That Lancelot who sent down Ikaruga-sama?

Amane, who had been angry, suddenly changed her tone of voice and seemed to be fidgety and restless, worrying about the collar of her dress and stroking her hair. Amane, are you a fan, perhaps?

"Is he the only person to have conquered Ikaruga-sama in the arena during his reign?"

Wait, Hop. I don't know if he's strong or weak based on the Sword Emperor!

"I heard you were dead, but you are alive!　I'd love to have a meeting with you!"

And Sakon too!　

"In the meantime, why don't we move around and talk about it?"

Ukon smiles at me from a short distance and says, "I'll be right back.

"...... means that the empire has fallen into the hands of the Nine Tails."

"I don't know who is in charge, the Nine Tails or the Spider."

After asking Peter if he could give a spoiler, he told everyone what he knew. The spoilers seemed to be safe, as he had encountered a knight of the empire (with whom he had an event) and the story was only speculation. It is also significant that Peter had already obtained the information on the Spider.

"It is generally said that the Spider has the face of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog, the arms and legs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake. But in truth, it is "an unknown thing that cries with the voice of a manzoku. It is a monster that has no subject and changes its form depending on what it sees. You can be sure that its body and soul are in motion. It doesn't mean that the troublesome nature of the Spider will disappear, though.

It is said that the White White Thrush is another name for the White Thrush. I never thought anything of it when I heard its cry, but it used to sound eerie to me. But I will keep in mind that it is the ever-changing one, the zookeeper.

Thank you. As a result, we have more information than we did when we captured those knights.

Amane thanked me for what seemed like six months of work. It turned out all right, but I'm sorry for ruining your preparation.

"I'll check when I get back, but I'm sure they are the ones who were involved when Ikaruga-sama returned.

By the way, I think I heard from an innkeeper in Fast that "the [emperor] and the [king] retired in droves last year. Babel and the others may have been just a bridge for the retired [emperor]. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that I, who am less than level 40, and other gentiles are losing.

The Amane family is more outgoing than others and is well known in other countries, including the Isle of Isle of Isle. In fact, Ukon and Sakon are of a higher rank than the others, but it is said that they have been using their fame outside to lure suspicious knights who have become involved with Ikaruga.

"It's tricky how they gradually fall for each other without either themselves or those around them being aware of it."

As Peter said while throwing a projectile at the approaching demons, it would be a big problem if we spend our time without noticing small changes. Well, Galahad and the others, if you can't be bothered to tell them apart, just shove them all into the temple!　But that's not the spirit.

I was worried that the temple might be burdened with a lot of work, like the possession case, but I heard that < or is used in the rituals. ....... According to the rank and amount of <> or <>, the priests need to pray to compensate for it, but <> is a great help!　I heard that they are sprinkling as much as they want. It's not my fault that I thought it looked like a bit of fun.

is something that Reno also drinks once a day to stabilize his physical condition. is for him a green juice.

"Is it so difficult to tell the difference between a person who has fallen victim to the ? --I think we should cast a spell on all those who have returned to Huso in recent years.

"Yes, I'm sure Fuso is next in line for the empire. It may be that the body and soul want to return to the main body.

Ukon and Amane argue with each other.

Ukon has been properly informed that he has mastered [kaijutsu], but he is still in tandem with the white tiger because he can hear what is being said. When Ukon moves, the wind sometimes carries the good smell of incense on his clothes. It is so faint that you may or may not notice it.

"By the way, what is the relationship between Homura and Lancelot-dono ......?　I think they called you Lord."

"He's a clerk at the general store."

Sakon asked me about my relationship with Cal, so I will answer honestly. In a manner of speaking, although a sword is dedicated to him, my sense is that he is a bouncer in the general store and also a guardian of Lapidus and Noel when I am not at home. Now Liddell is there too.

"Clerk ......?"

"Clerk."

Sakon asks me a puzzled question, but I answer him emphatically.

"......"

"Gorgeous waitress, isn't she?"

Ukon interjects smilingly.

"Well, when I met him, he was injured and couldn't move as much as he wanted to. And he was using a false name.

And I didn't know there was such a thing as the strongest knight at the time.

"Oh, so "Cal"?"

Peter says, sounding convinced.

"Yes."

He says he prefers to be called Cal, and we can't change his name now. Cal is easier to say than Lancelot.

"I didn't know that the man who is weak with alcohol is that Galahad..."

Luba is deeply moved. I don't think Galahad is weak on alcohol. ......, I hope Luba will compare his drink with Kikuhime's later. Aside from Kal, there were other well-known knights of the empire who had colors in their titles, and Galahad was one of them.

"A man dressed so roughly and barefooted is a famous person?

Peter sighs. Good for you, Galahad, they don't know you're wearing pajamas.

"I think he's going to sleep in them."

I take back what I said before, Amane is sharp.

"Ah, I can see the ship now."

At Hopp's words, he looks ahead. Between the cliffs approaching from the left and right, we can see a deep dark blue sea like the Sea of Japan, and we can see the mast of a ship. As we get closer, we see that it is a magnificent sailing ship, and a young man is waving his hand on the land in front of the ship.

He said, "This is my clerk, Galian, who I had sent earlier to check on you. I'm not a knight, am I?"

Hopp closes one eye.

They must have seen our arrival, because all the sails are hoisted at once. The white sails, spread by the wind, stand out against the dark blue sea. The weather is fine and the wind is strong. There were some incidents along the way, but now it's time for the Fuso.
