Chapter 78

After the quickly organized mock battle, everyone gathered in the one-story building near the training ground . The official name of the building turned out to be “Training Room”, but to me, it looked like a regular classroom with a simple school office attached to it .





There were no chairs or tables in the room, just a large table with a flat basin filled with sand to simulate the battlefield . Using the sand basin, they’d place small models to depict an operational area, then discuss operation details .

Interesting . I like this kind of discussion . Even during my time as a member of Team [P0wDer] in my old world, I was often involved in the discussion over who, where, and how we’d move about a map . It was a discussion to decide on the best strategy .

“Well then, let’s begin reviewing the earlier battle . ”

Count Themis stood at what I thought was the topside of the table . Pieces representing the knights and mages were placed on the sand . For some reason, they used a demi-human piece to represent me…

From there, a Q&A session was held between him and Laptricia-sama . Like how she should move, what magic she should use, and what she should do if she was the last one standing, etc . The discussion went on with both people turns drawing lines in the sand with a thin white stick, going into deeper details regarding strategy .

They weren’t the only people standing by the table . In addition to the knights and mages, Viscount Caymon had also mixed in . Occasionally, he’d jump into the discussion .

Earlier, I was worried about what I should do after the mock battle, but here, I was now involved in a heated discussion .





“Young man, you make me wonder about what you’re hiding under that mask . I’m not trying to be rude, but that tactical theory you proposed earlier – does that really look like something a mere mercenary can come up with?”

The review actually went on and on, and it actually ran over schedule . On the way back from the training grounds, Viscount Caymon took his time to ride his house side by side with our carriage to ask me .

“Nothing much, I use this mask to cover my disfigured face . No other reason . ”

“Then, once the escort mission is over, would you like to join the Western Barga Knights?”

“I decline . ”

“That’s a shame . Recently, we’ve seen a decline in the number of young men wanting to join us, decline . It’s to the point that this old me can’t ever retire . ”

“That’s no something I’d know about . ”





After such an exchange, returned to the castle . There was no schedule outing today . Laptiricia-sama and Ashley-san brought in several maids, along with several employees from a luxurious clothing store into the changing room . Apparently to decide which dress she would wear during her visit to the Captial and Venere’s ball .

Meanwhile, I stood guard outside the changing room .

At first, when I heard that it would be an escort mission, I didn’t expect that the job would be this plain . When I was with the Marida company on an escort quest, I had been on alert all the time while traveling . Compared to that, this escort mission was by far calmer .


Perhaps the situation would change once we headed to the cities . Here in Bardiche Castel, I didn’t find a need to be vigilant, since there was no danger with all the guards here .

In addition to that, there was also Ashley-san who wasn’t a pushover of an escort either . She was also next to Laptiricia-sama most of the time as her secretary and court lady – in charge of schedule adjustments and other things . Meanwhile, I only needed to exert my effort only when needed .

Tomorrow, we’d leave the Fort City Of Barga and head to the Royal Capital . The Western Barga Knights would escort us throughout the journey . Apparently, Duke Franklin Barga would also be accompanying Laptiricia-sama to report the Emerald Demon Labyrinth’s conquest . At the capital, they’ll attend a lunch party and night banquet to celebrate both the new year and the dungeon conquering every day during their stay .

Not to mention the party at Duke Barga’s own residence in the capital . The schedule was jam-packed alright . My actual escort mission would start once we arrived . Despite my unwillingness, Ashley-san still urged me to also attend a good number of the events .





As I recalled tomorrow’s schedule in melancholy, I heard footsteps approaching from a nearby passage . At first, I immediately stood guard right in front of the door, but upon seeing who it was, I moved slightly to the side .

“Good job . Is Raly available?”

“Yes, please wait a moment . ”

I knocked on the changing room and called Ashley .

“Ashley, Lady Emerada is coming in . ”

Coming from the hallway was Duchess Emerada Barga . Lady Emerada was a blue-eyed elf with the same blonde hair as Laptiricia-sama’s . She had her long blond hair styled in a bun behind her head – in a similar fashion to chignon . Stories had it that she was very much in love with Duke Barga . Although, one would probably doubt that, considering she looked no older than a woman in her twenties .

This world had no particular repulsions to interracial marriage . Would the children born between them be a mixed-race? A half so to speak? I don’t think that’s the case . The children would either be their father’s or mother’s race .

Accompanying Lady Emerada as she entered the changing room, a young red-haired woman named Sierra Caymon . If it wasn’t obvious already, Sierra was Viscount Caymon’s granddaughter . I could hear the changing room become noisy afterward . Lady Emerada was apparently acquaintanced already with Ashley-san, sounded happy during the talk .

Also, unlike Duke Barga who could only tag along up until the capital, she’d be joining us on this excursion to the capital and Venere city . Lady Emerada would be bringing her own escort, so I don’t have to watch over her as well . But if the situation required I would certainly work together with her escort .

But that’s all for now . As for now, those inside the changing room seemed to be enjoying themselves as I could hear happy squeals coming from inside . I also heard Laptiricia-sama exclaiming . ”It’s getting bigger again?” And how come you’re still this slim despite that? How envious . ” What on earth are they talking about?

On the next day, it was time to depart to the Royal Capital . The Western Barga Knights lined up in ceremony for our departure from the castle . Duke Barga gave a speech regarding the new year and the conquest, as well as the following efforts that would be required to further develop Barga territory for the year .

And finally, the gate of the castle opened . The citizens had gathered up along the roadside to join the celebration . Eventually, the parade began with the escort knights marching out . A lot of citizens had gathered to see the princess who’d conquered the dungeon, along with their beloved lord .

Barga Duchess and Laptiricia-sama were riding in a roofless carriage – waving their hands to the citizens that willingly came early in the morning to watch .

Ashley-san and I were watching the parade from a distance on foot . The one in charge of escorting the parade today was Laptiricia-sama’s elder brother . The eldest son of Duke Barga, making him the next in line to inherit the dukedom . He’s also the commander of the Western Barga Knights .

He would stay behind in Barga, taking care of the dukedom while the Duke was away . Viscount Caymon would take over the leading position of the escort troops on our way to the capital .

Once the parading around the Fort City was over, the carriage headed out to the city gate to depart to the capital . Duke and Duchess Barga, as well as Laptiricia-sama exchanged their carriage with the more subtle one . Captain Steed even come to see us off . With that, we headed to the rest area east of Fort City Barga .
