That night, Gilbert sighed in the tent he was using alone.

Gilbert, desperate to help the cat, had almost exhausted his magic.Even the magical knights who used attack magic, more than half of them had much less magic.The more magic you have, the more energy and health you have.Magic knights with low magic residue are much less useful than ordinary knights.

However, it is more efficient for the Magic Knight to move to clean up the damaged settlement.Reconstruction may be difficult, but some of the people who lived here will want to retrieve what they couldn't take out when they evacuated.Especially when it comes to lifting debris, there is a big difference between manual and magical work efficiency.

For work from tomorrow onwards, I decided to take an early break as soon as I finished processing the minimal dragon today.

Nyah

Gilbert looked sideways at a cat playing with the thread at the end of a treated bandage on his right forefoot.

Only Gilbert and the cat are in the tent.I can't hear the other knights.

Gilbert put a tent away from the other knights because the bracelet was broken.Don't interfere with magic tools used in other tents, and don't expand the damage in the unlikely event that magic is created at a terrible speed to fill the missing amount.If I had bracelets, there would be no risk of runaway, but I don't think there is anything I can do.

It took mental strength to control the magic that filled the body, and Gilbert was alone and conscious that it would be done correctly.

That's why I didn't even notice the footsteps I usually noticed earlier.

The sound of high quality shoes stepping on rough ground.The pace I was accustomed to hearing belonged to someone who was not supposed to be here.

"Excuse me, Gilbert."

"Your Highness...!?"

It was Mathias who rolled the cloth at the entrance to the tent and peered into his face.The light shaken by the flame of the old tool lamp shadows the dull color coat for stealing.To see where the Guard Knight and no one are with him, they must have come with a nearby metastasis device that Gilbert and the others used with great patience.

Surprising emotions wave the magic.Gilbert tried to calm down in a hurry so as not to shake his feelings.

"I got a call from my uncle... what a face he looks like."

Mathias, a teasing tone, glanced at the kitten next to Gilbert and smiled bitterly.Apparently, I've heard all about it.

"I'm sorry."

Gilbert himself, I couldn't believe what he did.

As it stands, there will be obstacles to our mission from tomorrow onwards.On the contrary, without the bracelet, we can't even use the magic tool, the mobile device, to get home.I imagined going back to the wilderness again and again and regretted it.There's a lot to do, and the Mansion is waiting for Sofia, and that's why I'm here.

Swallow the overflowing sigh.

Mathias, who was watching Gilbert, basically stuck his hand in his pocket.

"I thought you might be in trouble.I brought you this. "

What Matthias took out of his pocket with a smile was Gilbert's bracelet.Gilbert glanced at it.Yes, they give it to you casually and wear it in the same position as usual immediately.Soon, I found that the magic in my body settled down using the bracelet as a weir dike.

Spare bracelets are kept at home and at work as a precaution.Mathias knows that, so he must have listened and brought it.I didn't have anything to think about getting my luggage caught on my own, but it's an emergency, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Gilbert exhaled more and the kitten sat on Gilbert's lap at an unstable pace.

"─ ─...... Thank you for your concern."

"Ha, just seeing something unusual meant it was worth coming here."

Mathias lowered his hips to Gilbert's side and reached out to stroke the kitten.The cat looked at the hand as if it were gawking, but quickly turned his face away and fell asleep with his head in Gilbert's belly.

Matthias looked seriously at the cat and then blew it out.

"Fu, fufu... I see, is your husband good?Gilbert, you've already been completely missed. "

"You understand that I was protected as a cat."

Gilbert's life would have been lost if he hadn't been reckless there.Even a cat doesn't have to rest.

I'm sure you agree with Gilbert's explanation, but Mathias is still laughing.When I looked at Mathias asking why, I smiled too much and wiped the soaked tears with the back of my hand.

"I see, I see.─ ─ No, the truth came out of a lie. "

Gilbert stared down at the kitten.

Light brown hair and dark green eyes.Gilbert looks exactly like the cat that Arbel and the others once heard.Bring him back to the Marquis and clean himself up, and his hair will be fluffy.

"Gilbert was a cat lover when he saved a kitten with his life."

Gilbert laughed inadvertently at Matthias' laughter.
