177 177, Curse and Father

Aran was in the Green Glass Meadows a few hours after Ballantown began to be attacked by the Green Diamonds. He was guarding the cobbler.

It's time for sundown, we'll be safe today, or I don't like the bug opponents, what was I thinking?

"A decree! They say Ballantown is being attacked by the Gridian! I don't need your help, but I can't afford to help you!

"Shit, you're finally here... thank you! Why don't you eat over there?

"That's right, Lieutenant, you expect me to?

By the way, Alan is currently Deputy Commander of the guerrillas. The Knight Commander's unit.

"Sort of. Until today, you've only had about a bug problem, right? I was freaking out that it might be time for the demonic realm to show its suckiness.

"Uh, you look like a demon. So, what do you want to do?

"Gather them all, including the craftsmen. Ants could be coming this way, defense.

And it won't take long enough for everyone to get together.

"Listen to me! Ballantown is being attacked by the Gridian. It's not safe to say this either! We need to consolidate our big emergency defenses!

"Give me directions!

"Don't worry about your command!

"You're the Admiral!

"All right! Craftsmen, assemble the stone walls! On the south side! The adventurer is an artisan's escort! Stay away from craftsmen, not one bug, not one demon! Gather the knights! Individually! Now move!"

"" Oh!

And Alan gives instructions to each and every knight.

He who supervises the stone walls, he who goes out for reconnaissance.

Those who take breaks and dine in preparation for the raid, they vary.

And three hours. As usual, I keep waiting while bugs haunt me. Work is progressing well and stone walls are soon being formed where they were supposed to be made.

This will eventually become the walls.

Anyone who goes on reconnaissance should report back once an hour and leave again. So far there is no sign of an ant.

I wish there was nothing like this.

Alan didn't even get it right, the time is already midnight.

I have no problem reporting from reconnaissance.

Around that time, a decree was received again from Ballantown.

"Report! In Ballantown, we are on the way to convergence. There were no signs of ants on the road either!

"Okay! Good luck! You can go to sleep! Gather the craftsmen!

"Roger that.

And the craftsmen gather.

"Guys! I saved you today, thanks! The stone walls were built and the danger dropped. Expect allowances! Ask the Knight Chief from me! We'll protect you later, so please rest!

When the craftsmen did a good job, they went to bed satisfied.

"Sa, I hope there's nothing like this..."

The time passed midnight.

Is it about 1: 30 in the morning?

There was a strange noise near the stone walls.

It sounds like something has fallen.

"Good evening. Is Alain de Martin here?

"Someone! Name it!"

"Excuse me. My name is Alan's three-man Curse. If you have a father, could you please take care of him?

"Curse!"

"Father! Safe!?

"You, how did you get so far?!?

"Longer, but I wiped out a whole bunch of ants my mother attacked on Kutanutu in the evening! Then I went to Ballantown with Brother Urien because I was worried about Brother Odie. I just settled down there too! Then I heard that my father was in the Green Glass Meadow, so I came to see him.

I'm not worried about your father. Father would have decided to win easily, wouldn't he?

To say I'm not worried, my first voice said, 'Safe!?' Or so.

"Heh heh, you're the one. You've come a long way. Are you hungry?

"It's Pepper. This is it if you want to go home from the guild around the evening.

"Well, well done. I'm hungry too. Let's eat together.

Thus Martin's father and son enjoyed a midnight meal. Ants will be relieved that they didn't appear to have come this way. So, where the hell is the nest?
