Second Send-off

Early the next morning, Alme was walking quickly toward the main street.

Yesterday before noon, the bell rang to announce the departure of the army. She hadn’t heard anything from Falk, who had been in the shop until just before…

Did he not tell her, or was it a sudden dispatch from the army?

She thought it was probably the latter, as she had not heard any of this from Ena and Jayla.

(Somehow I feel bad…)

The more she thought about it, the fuzzier she felt in her chest and the harder it was to breathe.

This time, with Ena and Jayla, she couldn’t even take the time to make an appointment to see the military off together. Alme was walking alone toward the main street.

The crowd seemed to have grown again since the last military march.

Pushing through the waves of people, she managed to advance to a position where she could see the street.

However, she could only catch a glimpse of them through the gaps between people. Today, she will send cheers and prayers to Aiden, Charikot, and Falk with all her strength from this gap.

While waiting for the army to march, the voices of the people around her reach her ears.

“I wonder if Sergio’s squad will be there this time as well?”

“You got a pretty good spot! I wonder if I’ll be able to see Mr. Shirotaka properly today.”

“Mr. Shirataka’s salute last time was really like a prince! It would be nice if he could show me that form again.”

“To leave in such a hurry… I’m worried. After this, I’ll go to the church and pray for my son’s safety.”

Among the voices of the people who were up in the air, someone’s somber voice was mixed in. It seems that this time, the situation is different from usual.

Alme took a deep breath to overcome her agitation and stared in the direction from which the army is marching.

After a while, she started to hear cheers from afar. Soon after, she saw the leaders on horseback.

The people’s voices increased in volume, and the temperature of the place suddenly rose.

The rugged soldiers are marching down the street at a pace of movement that seems faster than usual.

Captain and vice-captain in knight uniform on horseback. Followed by walking combatants with lowered swords.

The number of troops was much larger than the last time she saw them. There were archers with big bows on their backs, and wagons with cargoes were lined up in a row.

For those who see it as an event, it is a powerful march. But for those who know that it is not just an event, it is a harrowing sight.

The fact that there are so many troops and cargo means that they are taking on such a big battle…she is worried.

As she was looking off restlessly, she saw a short redhead in the line of soldiers. It was Aiden.

“Aiden! Good luck! Be careful!!”

She cheered loudly through the crowd and waved. Aiden passed by, looking straight ahead.

He didn’t notice her like he did the last time, but Alme was glad to see him for the time being. She wondered if Ena waved to him too.

Shortly after seeing Aiden off, she spotted Charikot as well.

He’s wearing his usual loose shirt, but he walks bravely. His left hand is tightly wrapped with a red and orange bracelet.

“Mr. Charikot! God of war bless you! I’m praying for you!”

Alme sent another loud shout and waved her hand.

Last time, he said that the results of his fortune-telling were bad, so she thought of praying for divine protection to blow away his bad luck.

Charikot passed by, and the soldiers who followed marched away in rapid succession.

All of these people have their own families, friends, and loved ones. When she thought of that, she wanted to cheer them on with all her might, even if she didn’t know them.

After shouting her send-off, her throat seemed to be parched.

While she was cheering them on, she saw a group with a different atmosphere from the soldiers.

Riding on horses and clad in white and blue knightly garb, the group were the military priests.

In the last march there were about five people, but this time there are seventeen.

Alme had never seen such a large number of military priests before. The surroundings were tremendously excited by the spectacular procession of priests.

Does the fact that there are many priests mean that there will be many injured people on the battlefield this time?

Alme was sure that those who have relatives in the military are equally upset right now.

Of course, Shirotaka is leading the priests.

With a cool face that she didn’t see at the ice cream shop, Falk looked straight ahead.

A large white-gray horse with a beautiful magic wand. His silvery white hair and golden eyes sparkle in the sunlight. As the name “Prince of the Temple” suggests, he has a dignified appearance as he steers his horse.

As he passed, there were shouts from all around.

“Mr. Shirotaka! You look wonderful today!!!”

“Please turn this way! This way!”

“Please turn your face this way!”

Amidst the echoing voices, Alme cheered loudly as well. She stood on her tiptoes as best she could and waved as she somehow managed to see his figure.

“Mr. Falk! Please be careful! I’ll pray for your safe return!”

Alme’s voice faded out as people cheered loudly.

She could see him for the first time and cheer him on. Now she will keep waving her hands as hard as she can until they pass by.

Thinking that, when she stopped standing on her tiptoes, Falk’s face turned to her.

He pulled his horse slightly alongside and raised his left hand.

A blue bracelet was wrapped around his wrist. The rainbow-colored beads glowed in the sunlight.

It’s not her imagination, but she is now firmly in eye contact with him.

Before, she laughed because she thought it was a misunderstanding due to the ‘Idol Concert Phenomenon’, but now she is sure that their gazes are connected.

Alme stood on tiptoe once more and peeked through the gap between the people.

“Please come back to the shop again! I’ll be waiting for you! It’s a promise!!”

When she shouted out loud from the depths of her stomach, Falk showed the same smile as when he was spending time at the ice cream shop.

No, it might not be the same. A smile that is stronger and braver than his carefree grin.

When she saw that face, the throbbing in her chest that she had been feeling since a while ago suddenly cleared up. She thought that surely both Falk and the Luorio army would return safely.

It was such a reliable smile.

Mr. Shirotaka, who was a stranger when she saw him before, is now an important friend of Alme.

No more embarrassment or hesitation, she can wave her hand with all her might, and she can even cheer loudly. She can send him the same kind of support she would give to her own family members.

It made her feel very proud and happy.

Falk gave a final salute and left the roadside.

Tremendous exclamations were still echoing all around. “Kyaa! he smiled!” and several women collapsed in a frenzy. It looked like a crime scene.

People were talking excitedly.

“Beaded bracelets are so stylish! I wonder if they are expensive?”

“Isn’t this the first time seeing Mr. Shirotaka wearing that kind of ornament?!”

“I wonder if he likes the color blue.”

“Which shop is it from? I want to match Mr. Shirotaka”

“Wait to hear from the fan club! the identification team works fast, so I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough!”

(identification team…!)

What is that, an information network? Alme rolled her eyes at the voices around her.

She could see a future where the back alley where that leatherworking workshop is located is full of people who have lost their way…

Alme wondered if the shopkeeper would be happy if the number of customers increased. Or will he be startled by the sudden arrival of customers? She thought to go check on the situation next time…If the shop is overcrowded, she’ll apologize.

Alme’s face relaxed as she looked away from the back of the brave Shirotaka.

“Alright, I have to do my best too!”

Falk and everyone in the army will do their best, so for the time being, Alme will do her best in her own life, too.

She’ll be waiting for his return with the most delicious ice cream.
