Knights, Let’s Smash Them

76 – Bless this wonderful coastal city! (6)

The second day of vacation was really uneventful. It was because I was not the only person who became drunk and became incapacitated.

Cyane and Lilia, who marinated their livers in Long Island Ice Milk, which is famous for having a bad hangover, ended up locking themselves in their room.

Emain also declared a boycott today as if he was very tired, not to mention Heinz who drank too much.

Only Barbara, who didn’t take a single sip of alcohol, and Lonz, who came back intact as if it had never happened, express their doubts.

“If you don’t want to go out, I’ll go alone! There seemed to be a lot of strong men in this city!”

“Do you not eat rice?”

“Already eaten! So now my muscles are in full swing!”

Lonz snapped his bulky arm muscles. Please, I hope you don’t do such a burdensome thing before eating.

Somehow, it feels like an Amazoness with male and female reversal muscles going out to hunt men, but unfortunately, this place wasn’t even twisted, and Lonz wasn’t an Amazon female warrior.

He’s just a madman in a power struggle.

It’s not a figurative expression, it’s that you’re going out to ‘hunt’ real men.

“Instead, don’t touch the guards or guards for nothing.”

“Don’t worry! Yesterday, I heard a rumor from the owner, that there are regular street fights in the west plaza! I intend to go there!”

Is there such a thing as a street fighting competition?

I would never have thought such a tournament would be held in the Hebron Territory, which is characterized by a particularly restrained and controlled culture.

Perhaps this place, Nodarks, is actually treated as a free city. It belongs to the territory, but it is not managed with such strict rules…….

Just like Baron Kirten of our county.

“I’ll be back! I’ll catch you as a real and honest guy, so wait for me!!”

“Don’t take me… …. Don’t even just bring it in the first place……. If you do, you will be banned from exercising for a day.”

“Oops! That’s not enough, Captain!!”

“Then be sure to keep my word.”

“…… I knew! I can’t help it!”

Lonz, who shut his mouth in an instant at the exercise ban, left the inn with her shoulders drooping.

In the meantime, the rest of us gathered around a table in twos and threes and waited for a special meal that was said to be excellent for relieving hangovers.

The manager even praised it as being the best for hangovers, so I have to eat it again.

“Cow, I feel sick to my stomach. Can I stop eating?”

“I am saying this because I don’t know what. Originally, on days when I have a bad hangover, I always have to eat something.”

This is a scientifically proven fact. Sugar and water are the most helpful in relieving a hangover. In any case, it needs to be filled with nutrients.

If you don’t eat anything because you feel sick to your stomach, it’s because you can’t replenish the nutrients consumed overnight, so it lasts longer.

“Okay, here we go.”

The hangover food served in this way is hamburgers.

To be precise, it was something like a hamburger. It is a dish of well-minced meat grilled wide and sandwiched between bread with vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes like a sandwich.

Of course, if you are fundamentally Korean, it is common to make haejangguk, dried pollack soup, or bean sprout soup.

In such an unfavorable situation, hamburgers and pizza were quite helpful in relieving a hangover.

“A hark steak sandwich.”

The waiter skillfully placed the bowl on the table. Steam was rising from the sandwich.

After cooling off with a blow, the sweet and juicy juice flowed out of the mouthful after taking a big bite.

It also harmonizes well with the scent of fresh vegetables mixed in an exquisite sauce.

Anyway, it’s similar to a hamburger steak, but there’s no way it won’t taste good.

Heinz, who at first expressed his uncomfortable intentions because he had a bad stomach, but when he ate it, he finished the bowl without saying anything to see if it was delicious.

Let’s finish the strong ajeom.

I said looking back at the members who had returned to some extent.

“I’m going to rest anyway…… What about the others?”

Barbara said, raising her hand cautiously.

“I’m going to look around the fish market. It’s hard to see seafood in the Rupel estate.”

It certainly was. Since it is an inland sea, you will be able to see saltwater fish that are rarely seen in inland areas.

“If you are going to the fish market, I will go with you.”

And on this side, there was one more person who was crazy about seafood.

As befits the girl who administered her injections, which is docile for yesterday’s drunkenness, Lilia elegantly brushed her gray hair back in response.

“What about Heinz?”

“I will rest.”

It was an immediate answer.

Looking at the strangely hostile eyes, it seems quite difficult.

I’m sorry, Heinz.

Still, yesterday’s reaction was honestly interesting. Still, I’ll keep the secret to the end.

The last people left were Xianne, Lucy, and vice-captain Emain.

Unlike Lucy, who sat on Xianne’s lap and ate food briskly, the blonde knight commander had a considerably haggard complexion.

I’m not sure if it’s because of a simple hangover, or if it’s because I remembered what happened yesterday…….

Whatever it was, it didn’t look very good.

“I’m going to do some shopping for a while. I saw it while passing by yesterday, and there are a lot of nice clothes.”

“It seems that there are definitely more pretty and colorful clothes than Petalonto.”

“That’s right!”

She laughed as if she was amused just thinking about it.

She is also the one who likes to dress up the most among the Snow Leopard Knights, so the market in Nodarks, full of her unique and diverse clothing and accessories, would be her best vacation spot.

“Then…… Lastly, what about Captain Xianne?”

All eyes were on her. Xianne thought for a moment about what to do with her, then she said that she would take her Lucy and go shopping with Emain.

“Since Lucy also strangely seems to be getting taller, I wondered if I should buy some clothes in advance.”

Okay.

Lucy, who was about seven years old at first, grew to the level of a second grader in elementary school.

It’s probably because she eats a lot and gets the nutrients she needs for her growth, but it’s also very likely because of her bloodline.

‘Wouldn’t she be fully matured after a few years?’

Considering that it takes less than 50 years for Balaur, who have lived for eons, to reach adulthood from hatchling…….

I can’t even imagine how fast Lucy, half a gold dragon, will grow.

There’s nothing wrong with preparing in advance.

“Then, everyone has roughly decided the schedule. Anyway, the original schedule was to go around the market area anyway. Come and go freely.”

I clapped my hands and stood up.

“Then disband!”

First of all, I go to sleep.

***

The next day, completely soaked in alcohol, he was incapacitated.

After that, we explored the streets of Nodarks together, watched bards perform, and even rented a leisure boat to go out to the deep sea.

I also saw dolphins. A superb view of a group advancing while creating splashes of water.

While all the members of the knights were in awe, Princess Lilia of Hebron would stand behind her and put on a faintly proud expression.

It’s such a beautiful and nice city, no one would think I’m arrogant even if I boast about it openly.

Really.

She is a disingenuous woman.

Four days of eating, drinking, sleeping, playing, and having fun passed without any worries.

“Did you enjoy your vacation?”

“Yes, it was great. To the point where I want to live here.”

“hahahaha, if you are the Lubern Administrator, the mermaid’s pearl will always be welcome. Except during peak season.”

The manager shrugs his eyebrows and throws out a joke.

“Goodbye!”

We packed up and headed out the front door. Just like when they entered, the staff lined up in a row bowed their heads at 90 degrees to see them off.

There was nothing special about the rest of the schedule. It was just discussing business related to ‘Luchihyeop’ and ‘Iron Road’ with the envoy sent by Harald Hebron, the ruler of the dukedom.

In the end, I was in charge of the business, so Xianne and her knights decided to return to Rupel Manor first.

Leaving behind those who return to reality again.

“Let’s go, princess.”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Yes.”

I moved to City Hall with Princess Lilia.

“I hope it goes well.”

“What do you mean?”

“Luchihyup.”

I burst out laughing at that.

I can’t stand chicken.

Once you eat it, you will never forget its taste.

“Anyway, princess, don’t you have much more vacation left? I heard it’s 3 weeks…… How do you feel about dying with me?”

“Heouk!! Is that okay!?”

“I don’t know what could be wrong.”

“Then do it…… , Ah.”

Lilia’s expression, which had been extremely excited, cooled down again.

The moment she was about to leave for the PC room after school with her friends, her face seemed to remind her of the school she had forgotten about.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. I have a schedule to observe the training of apprentice knights the day after tomorrow.”

“Were you not on vacation?”

“No, vacation is correct. But just because you’re on vacation, you shouldn’t forget your duty as the commander of the 2nd Division of the Wolf.”

“You look great.”

There was a time when I was so motivated.

“Isn’t that also the case with Magistrate Alroy of Luberne? He’s still on vacation, so he’s going to take care of things related to Luchihyup.”

“If you think about it, it is, but… ….”

This is actually because there is no one else to do it but me. How common would it be to have a private meeting with one of the few dukes in the empire?

Even if you are on vacation, if you call, you have to jump out.

“Still, I don’t do it voluntarily. It’s a schedule that you don’t have to participate in, aren’t you going with just one responsibility?”

I looked at Lilia and said.

“I really appreciate you. Perhaps…… If I had studied under a knight like Princess Lilia, I might have been able to reach a slightly higher level.”

“Wow, that’s too much praise…… I’m not that great of a person…….”

Lillia shifted her gaze, blushing. Is it because of her feelings that her reaction seems to be more diverse than when she first visited Rupel Mansion?

“Rather, the magistrate is amazing. You’re leading the dying Rupel estate by yourself, aren’t you?”

“hahahaha…… Not alone. Count Rupel is also helping me both physically and mentally, and Cianne and the Knights are all working hard.”

“Of course that is true.”

As she was walking, she suddenly stopped her steps.

“That’s because the Magistrate of Luberne came to Rupel Manor. Luvern Alroy, you are truly a wonderful person.”

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

As I was scratching my cheek in embarrassment at the barrage of compliments out of nowhere, Lilia smiled brightly and said,

“I hope to see you more often in the future.”

The princess smiles like that when she smiles. She was a very fresh sight, as normally she defaults to a stiff expressionless face.

Even though I’ve seen faint smiles, it’s the first time I’ve seen an expression that shows emotion like this.

“Welcome, Luvern Administrator Alroy and Princess.”

As she chatted with her, she found herself in front of City Hall before she knew it. As I approached the entrance, a man in a suit bowed his head and greeted me.

“Harald, Duke of Hebron, and Siegbert Bauer, the leader of the Wolfpack Knights, are also here.”

“Captain Siegbert!?”

Lilia was taken aback by those words, and she asked back.

“Yes, they said they wanted to see the ‘black fox’ rumored to have slain the dragon with Princess Lilia in person.”

I nodded at the servant’s words and entered the entrance.

Siegbert Bauer.

The leader of the pack of wolves.

‘If you dare to bring the knight commander with you, it must mean that we should discuss the proposal that I proposed separately.’

Besides the establishment of the Luqi Hyeop branch, there was one proposal I made secretly from Xian Ne and her knights.

Dungeon consignment management.

It’s not the official route, and if it’s enough to bite the rice cake that was secretly conveyed, it seems that the Black Lion Knights are pooping quite a bit.

Then what can I do?

I have to take it away.

Your A-rank dungeon, has been replaced with an exclusive property of the Snow Leopard Knights.
