www.mpzw.com) Why have you never been here?

Faced with Annie's question, Loria was silent for a moment and said, "Who would want to open a window to peek into hell, and doing so will not help the truth except to make themselves sad." ｗＷｗ。 23uS。 ｃｏＭ”

"It's not as bad as you say. Anne looked around her surroundings, and when she saw the ragged, malnourished-looking people hiding in corners and looking at them with fear, she added, "It's not much better, though." ”

But at least there's sparse vegetation here, and it's safe to hide from the undead, isn't it?

This is where Loria went, the first and only settlement in the mountains behind the monastery - what the soldiers called 'the town'.

"It's the gentlest terrain in the vicinity, and you see, just climb that small peak and you can look down on the whole monastery, and it's a good place to see the scenery. ”

The soldier leading the way chattered and introduced, and he tried to make a good impression on himself—a fool could see that His Excellency the Commander was increasingly fond of the eldest lady, and not only taught her personally, but also appointed her with real power...... Even if her brother hadn't disappeared, there was a good chance that the heir to the monastery would be her.

Although Renault never said it, many people already saw Loria as the future commander.

Loria had no interest in standing on a high place overlooking the earth and pointing out the country. She hadn't been able to find Ahri, nor had she gotten any clues about the beast-eared girl who had attacked her, and she had to rush back down the mountain in the afternoon to get training.

"Thank you so much for showing us the way. Loria waved goodbye to the soldier and said, "Now let's walk around the neighborhood by ourselves." ”

After a moment's hesitation, the crusader bowed and left, and as he stepped out of Loria's line of sight, the refugees who had been hiding far away immediately closed the distance between them.

The intimidating uniforms are gone, and Loria, Annie, or Alice are not intimidating on the outside.

They were at once baptized by many gazes—curious, inquiring, surprised, envious, numb, disgusted, hated—hundreds of people, of all kinds.

Alice didn't care at all, she took out the small bread in her small bag that she could swallow in one bite to make it easier to eat on the march, and shook it from a distance towards the few children who were staring at the bread in her hand, and after their eyes followed the trajectory of her arm many times, Alice swallowed the bread with a wicked smile.

Anne and Loria were also accustomed to being watched by many people, but the latter suddenly smiled and waved at the crowd, saying, "Please go about your own business, let's just take a look." ”

Perhaps it was the gestures of goodwill that softened the hostility a little, and the refugees kept a sufficient distance from them at all times—a distance that could be seen from a distance, but the sound could hardly be reached.

After going back and forth in the settlement a few times, Alice, who had eaten all the food on her, asked, "What are we doing here?"

"There was not a large enough place in the monastery to build a factory. Loria replied, "Without enough space and the help of craftsmen, I wouldn't have been able to assemble a large machine on my own, even with enough parts." ”

The steam tank, which was enshrined as a sacred relic in the snowman, made many people realize the value of engineering, and this is what Renault specifically instructed Loria to accomplish.

"I just fixed it, and now I want to build a few more, how is that possible?" Loria grumbled, but pondered whether it was possible to kidnap a few dwarven craftsmen here.

"It's better to have something to do than to hang out all day. ”

Anne said, she was convinced of her words, and nodded meaningfully, she was finally arranged to be an adjutant, which somewhat relieved her to care that she only ate and did not work.

After roughly determining the location of the factory, Loria and the two agreed to go out to play against natural disasters another day, and they went down the mountain together.

After lunch, Loria came to the chapel as usual, and Renault, who had been waiting here for a long time, handed her a real sword that opened the peak, and then walked to the side with her hands and silently watched Loria practice.

For several hours, Renault never went too far, and most of the time he walked around the neighborhood except for a few orders.

"It's good, it's decent. ”

In the evening, Renault motioned to the panting Loria to stop practicing, he came over and touched his niece's head and said, "You have made great progress." ”

Cocking the corners of her mouth, Loria laughed happily.

"Don't be careless, the foundation is the most important thing...... You have to let each movement go deep into the bone marrow so that it can be applied accurately and naturally when it is dangerous. Okay, give me the sword, I don't need to scrub my weapon today, go back and rest. ”

Handing the sword to Renault, Loria smiled goodbye.

"Uncle, see you tomorrow. ”

……

Returning to her quarters, Loria was the first to see her fox pet.

"Ahri?"

The big fox crouching in the living room seemed frightened, and it shrunk its huge head and slowly turned to look at Loria who called for it.

Loria walked up to the fox, touched it and asked, "Ahri, have you ever seen a beast-eared girl?"

"Meow?"

"Hmm, what does it look like...... Pure white hair, well, just like your coat color, white big triangular ears, just like your ears. Loria described, gradually feeling that something was wrong, she grabbed Ahri's big fluffy tail that wanted to throw it behind her, and said slowly, word by word: "The big fluffy white tail is exactly like yours." ”

"Meow...... Meow ......"

Hearing Ahri's words, Loria laughed and said, "That's right, how could Ahri be a beast-eared girl......

“……”

Faced with the silence of the big fox and the strange expression on its hairy face, Loria, who felt more and more that something was wrong, tentatively asked, "Although your expressions look the same...... Ahri, where's my clothes!"

The big fox, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was startled by Loria's sudden question, and it jumped sideways and ran away, but was hugged by Loria, who pounced on her, and bit down.

Meow ......

The vampire's bite really hurts, and the big fox that eats pain rolls over on its side in a hurry.

Not daring to resist, it was tied up and decided to play dead.

However, Ahri's weight of nearly a ton did not stump Loria, and she rummaged through the room, found enough cylindrical items to be used as sleepers, and dragged Ahri into the room with several pulleys.

With a bang, Loria slammed the door.
