I’ll Live My Second Life! - Chapter 186

186

　The next day, when I woke up in the morning and went to the soldiers' meeting place, it was quiet in front of the fort.

　There are no soldiers who are always there.

　As Fee and his friends stood stunned, the captain of the soldier, who was at the meeting place, spoke with a bitter smile.

"Haha ..., the day after the festival is like this every year."

　Is it a hangover?

　The apprentice knights of Fee and his friends looked amazed at the eyes.

　Adults usually ask boys to be firm, but sometimes when alcohol is involved, they do this kind of thing.

　Fee also saw Crow at the meetinghouse saying "I drank too much" and was tired all day long.

"Huh ... can you guys just go? It seems that from yesterday it was originally done only by apprentice knights."

"Okay!"

　We have to do it well by ourselves.

　The apprentice knights nod with such feelings.

　Cognac has already come to the meeting place. For him, who always tends to be late, he gets up quite early.

"Hey, get together"

　Fee is obediently lined up in front of him according to the instruction.

　I saw this for a moment, but I turned away.

"Is it okay ...?"

　Lemie murmured with an uneasy face as usual, but he passed by and did not follow Fee in particular. His stomach ache will subside when he makes up with Cognac.

　I don't know if such a day will come.

"Then, let's go! I'll take the lead, so follow me!"

　I usually explain the route before departure, but I didn't cognac.

　But no one points out. It was clear that he had been in a bad mood for a few days. Everyone didn't want to be his frustrated target.

　Fee didn't want to make a fuss, so he didn't say anything.

　Follow Cognac without saying anything.

　While stopping by several villages, the apprentice knight alone will take a look around. Surprisingly, Cognac also responded well to the villagers. I'm basically a boy who speaks well, so I think he's good at that.

　At first glance, the patrol mission was working.

　So it wasn't long before the boys noticed the discomfort.

"Isn't it still at the turning point? Isn't it strange?"

　One of the boys really gives an opinion to Cognac.

　Even after noon, the apprentice knights' troops were taking a route away from the fort.

　The patrol by the boys alone had just begun. I heard that even the route can be returned before the sun goes down.

　But it's already past noon.

　With this, even if you turn back and return, the sun will set on the way.

"I'm following the route properly"

　Cognac argued with a sullen face.

"No, but it takes too long, right?"

"Please show us the map for a moment."

　Suspicious boys call on Cognac.

"I can't trust you!"

　However, Cognac quickly sharpened and refused it. As most imagined, he himself was sensitive to the mistakes he made a few days ago.

"I remember checking the route with John many times. I'm walking the route exactly as instructed! I'm not wrong! If there's a reason for the delay, it's because they're walking lazily. I guess! "

　With that said, Cognac pointed to Fees.

　Certainly Fees were walking while talking. But that's because I was taught that I couldn't help being too careful with a long patrol. While talking, the surroundings were moderately cautious.

　And if the boys are slowing down, it's also because of the cognac that didn't share the route in advance.

　Knowing your goals and just following them will change the way you walk.

　However, Fee thought it was useless, and turned away and did not point out anything to Cognac.

　Cognac looked annoyed at it, but it prevented him from arguing.

"I'll go anyway! If you think it's late, hurry up and walk!"

　That said, Cognac starts walking.

　The other apprentice knights have troubled faces and follow it.

　About two hours later, Cognac's walking route was still far from the fort.

"Isn't there a small number of villages?"

　When I left the fort, there was a village that I stopped by once every 30 minutes, and even though I could see the village in the distance, for a few hours, the villages that the boys could see were disappearing. ..

　Moreover, I haven't even stopped by a village for the past three hours.

　Only the thick forest now surrounds Fees.

"Cognac, are you really okay?"

"I'm persistent!"

　The boys in the southern dormitory, who are relatively close to each other, also ask Cognac, but the spicy cognac refuses even that.

　A few minutes later, a village appeared in their eyes.

　It is a deserted village in the depths of the forest.

　A smile returns to Cognac's face.

"This is the last village. If you go a little further from here, it's a turning point."

　Then Cognac rushes into the village.

　Fees continued.

　Is it about 3 pm as the time?

　If you return to the fort from here, the inn may be inevitable. The boys thought about that.

　When you enter the village, an old village mayor welcomes you.

"Is this an apprentice knight who looks like this? Welcome to this country village. You're tired. If you like, take a rest in this village."

"Is that so?"

　Cognac tries to respond with a smile.

　But Fee stopped it.

"I really don't have time. If there are no abnormalities, let's go first."

"Now, you !?"

　Cognac frowned at Fee, who spoke out.

　However, I have no choice but to speak out as a fee.

"At this rate, the night will come in the woods. The woods here are deep and it is easy to lose track of the direction even if you walk toward the fort, and at least leave the forest area before the sun goes down. I want to

"Gut ..."

　Cognac is stuffed with words in Fee's words.

"Well then, why not stay in our village? We can prepare a proper bed and serve our specialty dishes."

　The proposal made the boys smile.

　It was certain that I couldn't reach the fort before the sun went down. I want to sleep in a proper bed rather than in the field. And although I had lunch, I was hungry little by little.

　However, Fee bowed to the village mayor and declined the proposal.

"I'm sorry, I'm planning a day trip, so I can't stay at our discretion. If nothing is wrong, we'll leave."

"Oh, this, you do it yourself!"

"It's Cognac that is trying to do what it wants. It's already such a time, so it may be necessary to make a final decision on the inn, but now it should be a time when you can move. You can't stay without permission. Let's go. I'm sure there was a soldier station a few hours back, so if you want to rest, let's go there. "

　Fee then tries to lead the apprentice knights through the village. Confused, the apprentice knights try to come up with the right opinion.

　The moment when Cognac, who thought he was robbed of his command, tried to complain to Fee.

　The village mayor sat down on the ground.

"Sorry, I'm sorry! Apprentice knights! Please save us!"
