Chapter 5: Go On, Toward Kialan

"So, you're really here for Lynn Dees?"

I'm used to calling Lin, and now I want to change my name to Lindis, which is really quite awkward. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Rod couldn't help frowning when he read the name.

Lin smiled wryly and waved her hand.

"Just call me Lynn, Lynn"

"Well, then I'll call it directly, otherwise, it's also very unpleasant."

Rod nodded without hesitation, but Kent on the other side was a little stiff.

"Miss Lindis"

"Call Me Lynn"

"Yes, I see"

"Whew"

"Then Miss Lindis"

“・・・”

It doesn't work at all.

Unlike Sain next to him, Kent is undoubtedly a classic knight.

It's dogmatic perfection.

Loyalty, patience, virtue, and even... old-fashioned and inflexible.

Although I don't hate this serious type at all, there are times when a particular conversation situation can be a little tiring.

Originally, Lin thought that she should be more inclined to this type, but after traveling with a certain man recently, it seems that she has changed a little.

He glanced back at Rhodes and shook his head at the other party's inquiring gaze.

It's supposed to be an illusion.,Although the other party is an idiot at all....

- The reason why he followed me wasn't because he was afraid of starvation, right?

Sometimes, Lynn even thinks so unconsciously.

It's so much...

"Anyway, call me Lynn"

Steadfast in the eyes of the red knight, the two men were silent for a few seconds at the same time.

Then, the red knight nodded slowly.

"Yes, Miss Lynn, if you insist so much"

-- It's finally a little better.

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

"In other words, my grandfather's current condition...

Then the two began to talk about the purpose of their visit to Lynn—that is, to visit Lynn and return to meet the aged Marquis of Chialand.

That's why Kent takes a bite to a Lindis.

Because for him, Lin's identity is already a 'young master'.

"Yes, Miss Lin, the Marquis can't hold on for long... His wish is to see your mother again."

"My mother..."

"Yes, the purpose of our trip... It's just... I'm sorry, we didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

“・・・”

"We thought there was no hope, but we didn't expect to see you today, Miss Lindis."

"Why, do you think so?"

Lynn's expression was subtle and a little sad.

"Because you and your mother, Miss Madiline, look the same - I have seen her portrait more than once in the city of Kialand."

At this point in the conversation, there was silence.

For a moment, no one spoke in the room.

Everyone seemed to be caught up in their own thoughts. Lynn misses her parents, while Kent feels guilty that she is still too slow to act. Sain didn't know what he was thinking, but it was definitely not a boring thing.

Eventually, it was Rhodes who broke the silence.

"Lynn, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

The girl looked up, a little confused.

Maybe for a young girl, this kind of thing is still a bit sudden.

"Do you hate your grandfather?"

"No"

"Then go ahead, nothing to hesitate about"

Rhodes stood up.

"Hesitation is always superfluous, it is something that brings regret, since there is no idea of refusal, don't hesitate, do it first, regret after you can't do it, complain or not, put it to say later, now, do what is in front of you wholeheartedly, it is enough"

Inexplicably, he said this, and Rod couldn't help but be confused.

Why do you say that? It's kind of weird, is it the lost memory that's at work? But that's all in the past.

Without hesitation, he ran away from the confusion.

He just wants to move forward with his head held high now, and that's enough.

"Yes, then I know—Kent, then let's go, to Kialand."

"Yes, Miss Lynn"

The group of four then embarks on an adventurous journey - tempted to say so, but this is not the case.

They had only left the city of Brukaru and were in a remote outskirts when they were ambushed.

It was still Rhodes who first discovered the enemy.

Like last time, he 'heard' a voice that shouldn't have existed, so he jerked up a palm and stopped the procession.

"Wait a minute," he narrowed, scanning back and forth - this was an area of bushes and woods.

Even if there is an ambush, there is nothing surprising.

"What?" Kentra stopped his horse and looked at Rhodes suspiciously, while the latter pointed to the surrounding terrain with his finger.

He looked at Rod's finger, and Kent's expression changed color.

"Ambush?" he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and Sein, who was slightly back, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly grasped his spear.

"There's no doubt about it—well, they're coming."

From the woods, the bushes, and even behind the giant hands and hills, the uncountable bandits, no longer hiding their figures, roared out and jumped out.

In front and back, on the left and on the right, in just a dozen seconds, a group of four people has been surrounded here.

"Bandits"

Sain narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed slightly, "It's—"

He was about to say bad luck, but before he could finish saying this, one of the strongest men among the bandits had already laughed and told the purpose of their trip.

"Is that woman Lindis?"

In a word.

The hearts of the four of them suddenly exploded like thunder, and they couldn't help but raise their heads.

This situation is obviously wrong.

It is common sense for thieves to rob money and kill people, but if the local bandits actually know a girl who is not very famous elsewhere, and they come specifically for it, things are obviously not simple.

"Don't blame me, it's all about the money—" The bandit leader didn't rush to the front, but just smiled as he wielded an axe.

And then—

"Kill that chick!"

The next moment, the chaotic thieves began to howl and rush forward.

"Kent, Sain, you protect Lynn, be careful not to go into the jungle" Rhodes immediately followed the formation, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.

-- The current situation is definitely not a favorable one. The enemy behind is the most, probably in the thirties, probably to prevent Lynn from escaping back to Brukaru. The left and right wings are innumerable and growing, and the forest is faintly filled with human figures.

On the contrary, on the front, there are only more than ten enemies, even if you add a bandit leader, it is not a big deal.

Rod couldn't help but smile again.

"Preparing for the Offensive"

Hearing this crazy voice, whether it was Kent or Sain, even Lin couldn't help but be stunned.

He's on the defensive now, and it's already a terrible situation just to survive, right? At such a time, they still have to attack? When they are silent?

Everyone looked at Rhodes with bewilderment.

"Lord Rhodes—"

But just as Kent was about to refute, Lynn burst out laughing.

She remembered that just when she wanted to give up for the first time, the knight who stood in front of him, the knight who smiled and walked into the battlefield and cleared all obstacles.

"Okay, Rod, give the order"

"But, Lindy—"

"I said Kent and I trusted him"

The cyan princess of the wind, the trust and firmness in her words cannot be questioned, and in the cyan pupils, although immature but unwavering courage, Kent had to bow his head.

"I see—Sain!"

"Understand~Understand~" Although the green knight replied casually, the muscles of the arm holding the gun were already tense, and the slightly constricted pupils stared straight ahead.

"Then—I'll go first!!" With a low roar, the knight suddenly urged the horse under his crotch, like a cyan horse, and in the neighing of the horse, the green knight leaned over with his spear and rushed boldly towards the enemy line.

Can you win?

I don't know, but I never fear.

"Kialand---!!"

"Hooray―――――!!"

There is no intention of death, but it is full of courage!!
