After pairing up with Eliza, Jake was walking away from Lisa and the Deep Green Palace. It hasn't been that long since Jake returned from the earlier battle. With his accomplishments in earlier battles, Jake was recognized as a regular Temple Knights. From now on, regardless of his age, he will undertake the task of Knights of the Temple. It showed the possibility that Jake would be sent to the front line, just like any other soldier.
And Jake decided to take a ride with Eliza, as Miriazal told him, in order to know his current strengths. Eliza's strength is pretty much at the top of the Knights Temple as well. I don't know if she's going to be in the 10th Jie, but that she was going to determine Jake's strength.
But Eliza was also to deal with Jake with a stick that only made the length the same as the double sword, rather than the usual double sword. Of course, it is made of wood with crushed blade tips for practice. The humans watching the battle, including Lisa, who was present on a single hit, had a sense of anticipation "a little bit," but the result was that Eliza lightly tailored Jake.
But Jake left the scene without excuse, not to be discouraged. Lisa was surprised at that, too.
"You've pulled back a lot, haven't you, Jake?
"Because it was a serious battle. Serious battles don't happen so many times. And I think that's my strength now."
"You're humble."
"It has to be. Last time I fought, I didn't want to know what I was capable of. With all the demons I fought along the way, with all the demon kings, not very much, but I couldn't fight. Nor could the last evil spirit be defeated without the support of his people. There's nothing to be proud of."
Jake's words had weight. Lisa thought it was something he spoke heartily and felt strongly about again. Even if it's not a sensor, you know Jake's emotions.
"Was Jake even going to be a hero?
"I wanted to be if I could. But I couldn't even go protect Lisa... and I was wondering how much stronger I wasn't..."
"In the last fight, Lisa was helped enough. Many thanks to you for defeating the evil spirits of your enemies. Everyone who's been there understands."
"I wonder if so. I don't really feel it."
Lisa worried about what to say before Jake seemed like she didn't herself. but
"Hold on tight. I do have trouble getting you satisfied here. You'll be the best knight on the continent, won't you? Are you spilling stupidity here, and can you move forward on anything?
Lisa dared to choose tough words. Jake looked at Lisa's face as surprised by Lisa's words, but immediately tightened its face.
"Oh, I'll be waving my sword soon though. That's great."
"Lisa always says the right thing to me."
"... of course. Because I am your mother's substitute, your sister, and your lover. I don't mind waving my sword, but some of you should study properly? I haven't heard you get very good grades."
"Eh, I'm not good at studying"
Saying so, Jake ran off early enough. Just leaving the Deep Green Palace, Bruns and Dora were waiting for him to return. They're telling me to attend Gloria's class again this afternoon, so I guess I'm here to pick you up for discipline. Maybe he just wants to know how long Jake was born.
When only Lotte thanked Lisa with a pepper, they ran off kidding around like boys. Lisa sighed inside as she dropped off her hindsight.
"(Oh man. In a little while, more and more boys grow up. This one just amazes me every time I see him. Mirche's painting sold for a high price, so I thought I'd pick up the little ones and buy a house for everyone to live in, but we'll see about that next time)"
Lisa grinned and returned to the mercenary regiment (Jaeger) as she toured the fun ideas.
Back in the mercenary regiment (Jaeger), Alphilis was ready at any rate. Application to guild for mercenary dispatch, as well as confirmation of compensation and dispatch acceptance certificate. cancellation of the request, which was to be received, and alternatives. Selection of human beings who can participate in the expedition and force formation. I thought the Alliance would get a response in a few days because the Alliance would do it by magic for the application to join the faction, but for the rest of the day they came back with an immediate reply as to whether they were lacking in combat power. Moreover, it is a considerably higher reward than usual.
It's natural to be highly rewarded because it's an addition to the losing side, but if you're too close to losing, sometimes even if you win, you don't get paid. The guild will carefully negotiate with me, including the investigation around it. If the reward is not legitimately paid, the guild has a system in place to compensate for some of it. Instead, the Alliance takes measures against countries that have breached their contracts, such as not accepting jobs. For that reason, the guild negotiating had carried out the assessment of the other party fairly carefully, and if the mercenary regiment that sent them reneged on the contract, similarly severe penalties awaited for the mercenary regiment.
The Alphilis accepted it honestly because it was a contract on top of that, but the other party asked me to arrive within seven days. The guild's negotiator seems to keep negotiating and tell me to extend my arrival date and time, but maybe it's such a war situation that I don't have much respite. From here to the destination it would take about four days at the Fei Long, so Alphilis told Arnelia and the mercenary regiment to get ready in a hurry and asked Lisa to gather all the information. Jessia also called to arrange for weapons, protective equipment and food that she might need.
Earlier Jessia visited the source of the Alphilis and said she had finished making arrangements so that all her luggage would arrive on the ground. Alphilis isn't sure what kind of logistics flow Jessia has either, but apparently she can carry her luggage over almost the entire continent. Alphilis, while reliable, had begun to jeopardize more or less about Jessia's identity. One day, I'll tell her I need to be sure of that sincerity.
And when I already told Ekra that I would ask her to stay away, the time was already about to change. A threaded clock placed in the hallway had already indicated that the day had changed. When he returns to his private room, Alfiris takes off his severely distressed boots and coat and only wears his skin clothes. Looking in the mirror, his expression was quite tedious. Maybe it's because I've had a lot of paperwork and adjustments lately and haven't been out much of Arnelia.
I think I should move my body slightly, but I'm just going to go to bed thinking about doing it tomorrow. I sighed because there would already be no water in the bathroom, so even tomorrow morning I might need to take a bath. It is becoming irresistible and uncomfortable to sleep without wiping your body because it is becoming time to steam.
As Alphilis dragged his tired body toward the room, someone slammed the window down. It is a utility. I'm gesturing to open the window.
"For what?
Alphilis said it was a pain in the ass, but I opened the window. With the cool breeze of the night, the utility came in.
