Chapter 29: Sanzu River
Shortly afterwards, Lang, who had been missing for a while, was found.
As everyone has expected, he was found unconscious in the dirt.
“Captain! I’m here!”
"He was buried after all! He’s unconscious!"
There is no sign of him waking up even as he is being dragged around. I hurriedly slapped his face to wake him up.
“Lang! Hey! Lang! Wake up!”
after some time , Lang’s eyes opened.
Ad
“Grandma! Give me a break already─────Ah?”
Grandma ‥‥‥‥? A subtle silence passed among the troops.
In the awkward atmosphere, the young troopers were confused, but their superiors were not.
"My dead grandma was across the river wielding her usual spear..."*
“Mm-hmm.”
"They kept nudging me and saying, 'Are you coming over here? You must be finished by the time you come!'"
"...What happened?"*
“It didn’t matter what river was between us. It was scary. ‥‥‥‥”
“Master ‥‥‥‥”
Behind the bewildered young troopers, a trooper of the same age as their superiors opens his mouth.
Ad
"You young guys probably don't know this, but... It’s the captain's mentor."
The captains’ mentor ‥‥‥‥? Who is it? And they look at each other.
"Would you recognize her if I said 'The Scarlet Spear Saint'? She was a very strict person... Damn. How many times did she break your spirit?"
As if remembering what those days, he covered his face with his hands and fell to his knees.
“It was horrible ‥‥‥‥ I don't want to see Grandma yet."
‥‥‥‥ isn’t that just a way of saying “I don’t want to die” there? I read the atmosphere and swallowed my retort.
Lang, the most physically fit of the knights, was curled up in a ball and dwarfed like a dung beetle. His two superiors were comforting him and saying, “yes, yes.’’
The young troopers thought that they did not like to see their superiors, whom they respected and whose abilities were a head or two or three above the rest of the Knights, like this.
I thought I heard some loud noise up ahead. .I was informed that the women who had apparently escaped had joined us.
I hurried to the scene and found an adventurer I knew among the women lying around, and I was glad to see her, but the woman in question was not so happy.
Ad
"...It smells like blood...Red Wolf...I don't want that feeling anymore..."
"I don't want to run over you anymore...I don't want to run you over anymore..."
She was muttering something incomprehensible with a distant look on her face.
The others were dirty, too, but the two of them were in a particularly bad condition, as their heads, clothes, and various other things had been scattered all over the place.
"Ah, do you know each other? Please have a drink for now~."
A boy who was in charge of chores for the knights appeared between the two of them with water.
"Are you hurt? We have some clothes for you to change into, but for now, here’s a blanket."
Moving swiftly among the other women, the chore boy smoothly completes his work.
But he is the only one who is moving, and the rest of the knights gathered around with a gloomy look on their faces.
“What happened to these people?”
“They’re just being haunted by memories – don’t worry about it.”
The chore boy had the biggest smile on his face.
They were watching the adults moving around busily while drinking the water they were given to drink without hesitation, because they were told there was enough to go around.
He looked up at the sky, which was turning white just as dawn was breaking, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if realizing that he survived and was able to bring his younger sister with him.
Ad
“Big brother! Look!!”
He was surprised to see his sister standing up suddenly, but he was even more surprised to see the direction she was pointing.
The adults around her were also startled by the sight.
“───── pillars? It’s glowing.”
A huge pillar of light had appeared in the now distant abyssal forest.
