Looking at the scene in front of her, Celia Bartels couldn't help but let out a sigh.
There is a great deal of dismay contained in it, and even contempt in her eyes.
That little bastard ripped off ....... Haha! ...... but he's just a kid. I didn't really miss it. ....... Next time I won't say anything in front of your eyes anymore, I'm going to make you regret it... ...!
The man--Oswald apparently seriously thinks there will be a next time.
But that can't be true.
It's true that Oswald is one of the two people who have survived for more than a year with the Kuro Wolf Knights, and he's a man of ability who might even be able to compete with the legitimate knights' leader class.
But, to put it another way, that's all.
There is no way you can be treated as special for such a thing.
Someone like the Commander of the ...... is the kind of person who deserves special treatment.
She alone deserves it, and this man is not enough.
Or ...... yes, or.
I don't know if it's the guy that Oswald was obsessed with, the one who so easily fought him off, but...
You're waiting.
And as I was thinking this, a slightly high boyish voice reached my ears.
No, no, not like that.
If you turn your gaze to look, there was indeed a person in boy's form.
He is the current master of Celia and her team, and the one who is leading this mission.
"Haha ......, you're late!
You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you.
The Kuro Wolf Order is a special order of knights that can only be led by those who are descended from the blood of the emperor.
You'll be able to see that the boy is also a member of the royal family ...... but the boy won't even pay attention to such words when they are directed at him.
It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.
The boy smiles like it's nothing at all ...... but that's simply because he doesn't see Oswald as a person.
The narrowed eyes are a total nothing.
It's because they don't take an interest in him and treat him like a stone on the side of the road that he can't be punished for any kind of disrespect.
If a pig was buzzing, no one would find it rude.
Just because the pig felt like a bellowing pig, that meant that Oswald was only being treated that way.
That's why Celia is convinced that Oswald is next in line, because she can see that clearly from the side.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got a lot of stuff going on over here, too. So, ...... are you all here?
"-- ha!
In response to the boy's words, the thirty members of the Kuro Wolf Knights who had gathered there fell to the ground and bowed their heads in unison.
...... No, only Oswald is not, but this is not his fault.
It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
Oswald is also humiliated by this and seems to have developed a grudge against him: ...... Well, you can do what you want with that.
Celia made a promise to him, but I'm not going to say anything.
Again, I know I don't have to.
And now is not the time to worry about Oswald.
I can feel the boy's eyes on me, even with my head down.
About the same time a cold sweat runs down your cheeks, a voice falls from above you.
"Anyway, ...... you had a good day today, Celia. You didn't let me know what was going on, and you retrieved Oswald in one piece.
Ha! ...... You are too good to be true. It was just a coincidence, but I hope it was helpful.
It was no humility or anything, it was just a coincidence that I was there.
What Celia wasn't told in the first place was not about the story that Oswald was going to attack the inn.
She hadn't heard that Oswald was coming here.
Excluding Oswald, five of the twenty-nine people who have come here are the ones who stayed in Laurus just in case.
When the twenty-four of them received the call for help and arrived at Finis, they stayed on for three days.
And then--
"No need to be humble. You were the only one who could come in there. While the others were confused about the situation, I think you did the right thing. Well, that doesn't mean they should care, and I don't either. It's my fault for not communicating things.
...... Yes, I'm sorry.
Those who never appeared on the spot tell you this with their heads down, but their bodies are trembling slightly because of fear.
And the fear is not about fear, but about being disposed of.
It's against the inorganic, object-like eyes.
When the boy says he doesn't care, he means exactly what he says.
I don't care because I didn't expect it in the first place.
That's what I meant.
He didn't say it to me directly.
But looking into his eyes and watching him say and do things, I can see it.
So was what Oswald said to him.
The boy said he was safe.
You're not safe when you've lost your arms, and recovery is not the right word to use for people.
It's a good thing that the Kuro Wolf Knights are not wrong, because they are classified as objects: ...... If you think about it, you will naturally know what the boy thinks of you.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
There is no hesitation, or the next moment they may even forget they were discarded.
We are indeed on death row.
You will be able to get the most out of it. She hasn't abandoned people as much as she could.
In that sense, honestly, Celia was almost envious of Oswald.
It's just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference.
"Well, ...... and Oswald.
Oh, finally. Come on, get it done. I can't do this alone and it's humiliating. You can do something about it, can't you?
"...... huh?
A slight gasp of surprise escaped me, because that should be impossible.
A lost limb cannot be regained by using potions.
And there is no other way to heal wounds other than through potions. ...... I've heard of a saint who can do that in the neighboring kingdom of Ad Astera, but there shouldn't be anyone else.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you go to the store.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be able to do with it.
When he gets to the side of Oswald, who is in a crouching position on the ground, he crouches down on the spot - and then.
Yes, of course. If you come back from the dead as I promised you, I will make sure you get the humiliation you deserve.
"Quickly then--
"--However,
"...... ah? Hey, you don't think there are any conditions, do you? I don't want to hear this--
It shouldn't be a problem because it's simple. Yes, it's just that - you're not the one who should return the humiliation.
"--uh?
A moment later, there was a thud, a dull sound.
It was simply positional that Celia was able to instantly recognize what had happened.
I'm sure you'll be able to get a good idea of what you'll be able to do if you're able to get a good idea of what you'll be able to do.
It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at .......
Thank you, Oswald. I'll pay you back for your humiliation. So-- so don't worry and let me eat you.
It was right after the boy said that.
When you think of the darkness that flooded Oswald's body, that darkness enveloped his entire body.
And in the blink of an eye, the darkness shrank to the size of a fist and was crushed by the ...... boy.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the fact that you'll be able to get the most out of this article.
The boy's figure, who stood up that slowly, looked even more eerie and horrifying than I'd ever thought possible.
"Well, I guess that's all we have to do now. ...... Oh no, there's one more thing to do.
As he said it, the boy looked over the place and reflexively lowered his eyes, but I somehow felt that it would be useless.
' -- Celia.
"...... Yes, what is it?
So when his name was called, it was not surprising, and he immediately replied and looked up.
Looking back at the same inorganic eyes as always, waiting for the next word--
As a reward for successful completion of this mission. You have a special assignment.
"...... haha, respectfully accepted.
It's a good thing that you are not given the right to say no anyway, even before you hear the content.
You will be able to find out what you need to do with it.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what you're looking for when you go to the store.
I remember such a question that can never be said out loud.
Under the moonlight, Celia waited patiently for the boy, the current master, to speak.
