The Dungeon of Sain.

A slender figure slowly walked out from the entrance to the dungeon.

She gasped violently, and her eyes flashed with anger, as if she had reached the top of her life and was pushed to the bottom.

"Taken......" her hands trembled, and the tin box in her hand was shaken to the ground, something she had painstakingly obtained from the dungeon, but the empty interior announced to her the fact that she was too late.

"Damn it...... Where is my sword? ”

The angry roar alarmed the birds in the forest, and frightened a large number of birds into flying high and scattering.

Under the sun.

The girl-Kayiru's anger is far from quenching.

With a flick of her green ponytail, she walked towards a clearing in the woods, where there was a two-meter-high thatched hut that she had set up a few days earlier as a temporary shelter for herself. She took out her luggage from it, carried it on her back, grabbed a pile of thatch, lit it with flint, and threw it at the hut a few meters away.

In an instant, a fire enveloped the entire house.

“…… I'm going back to the village! ”

There is no pity for the residence where he has been recuperating for two days.

Kayiru walked briskly in the direction of the village.

Her heart was filled with negative feelings.

Therefore, she seeks healing, longing to heal this heartwound burned by anger.

In the past, she obtained the treasure of this dungeon, spent a whole month preparing, went down the dungeon several times in a row, and finally reached the boss room after several failures, although there was an accident in the end, so that she had to leave the treasure she was looking for and escape from the dungeon, but she also defeated the guardian beast, she believed that as long as she waited until the injury was healed, she would definitely be able to retrieve the treasure if she returned to the dungeon.

However, after two days of recuperating on her wounds in the grass hut, she finally entered the dungeon again to find that the treasure chest was empty.

“”…… Damn, careless. ”

Kairu said hatefully.

She remembered that when she duel with the Guardian Beast, a competitor came out of nowhere.

According to Kailu's judgment at the time, the man's injuries were much lighter than hers, and even if she was used as bait and discarded in the dungeon, he should have fled for his life like himself, but this was not the case, he not only escaped from the dungeon, but also took her target with his hand.

"The man...... I was lucky enough to be able to escape from the dungeon, but it was unexpected......

Kayiru scratched her head and said irritably.

"No matter, anyway, let's go back to the village to recuperate first."

Kayilu is an extremely optimistic person, and although she was still angry some time ago, she is much more relaxed when she thinks about the affairs of the village.

Because she believed that as soon as she reached the village, someone would help her get rid of her uncomfortable feelings.

However.

"Ah, isn't this Kayiru-sama! You've come back alive...... What the? Are you looking for Erin? Thales, who was working in the fields, was questioned by Cailu with an unspeakable expression on his face, "She ......"

"Where is she?" The girl asked, gasping.

She ...... Gone. ”

"Huh!?" Kairu's eyes widened.

She grabbed Thales by the collar and shook it vigorously, "You, tell me again, what happened to my angel?" Missing? ”

"Wait, wait...... Lord Cairu, I, I'm ......" Thales' face flushed, his neck scarred from his clothes, and he couldn't even breathe. "Ahem, ahem......"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Kayilu immediately realized that she had gone too far and let him go.

As a second-order powerhouse, even if it was just the power that was emitted unconsciously, she could easily kill ordinary people, which she knew better than anyone else. She reflected on herself and said, "What did you just say...... What's going on? ”

"Ahem, Irene, she's out of the village." Thales rubbed his neck and adjusted his breathing, "Yesterday at noon, I found a letter from the village chief at her house. The letter said she was going to Bedford. ”

"What? Is she on her own!? Kayilu was surprised and said, "Why don't you go to her!" Actually let a young girl go out alone!? ”

Seeing that Cailu was agitated again, Thales quickly took a step back.

so as not to be affected.

"She's not alone, don't worry. If she goes alone, even if others don't stop her, for the sake of the village chief's heavenly spirit, I will definitely stop her. ”

"Wait, you say, the village chief is dead?" Kayilu blinked, she looked at the somewhat charred walls of the village, and the metal remains on the land, and felt something strange: "Could it be...... Fighting in the village? What happened in the village in the few days I was away? ”

"Oh, you don't know. It's like this......"

Thales told Kayru everything that had happened in the village in the past few days, including the rebel attack on the village and the help of an undercover knight who suddenly appeared to subdue the enemy. and the news of the death of the village chief.

"That's right...... I'll go and grave the village chief later. Kayilu nodded, "I've been taken care of by him for a few days, so I should do my best." But ......"

Kayilu looked out towards the entrance of the village and saw a number of horses parked there.

The horses were bright and strong, and they were obviously battle-hardened horses.

Kayiru frowned and asked, "Are those ......the horses of the King's Army?" ”

"yes. Yesterday, the adults of the King's Army came to our village and said that they would stay in the village for a while. Seeing that Kailu's expression was a little strange, Thales asked in confusion, "Is there anything you care about?" ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

Kayiru shook her head, prevaricating.

From Thales' conversation just now, Kailu noticed a strange place.

It was the undercover knight who said that he couldn't call the king's army immediately, so he asked the villagers to help him drive away the rebels, but the next day the king's army appeared inexplicably, how to explain this self-contradiction?

However, seeing that Thales and the other villagers didn't seem to have any doubts about this, Kayiru didn't bother to bring up the topic.

Because, the most important thing in her mind at the moment is only Irene!

"You just said that Erin said in the letter that she was going to Bedford, right?" Cailu looked straight at Thales and asked, "Who accompanied her?" Isn't it dangerous? ”

"Please don't worry." Thales patted his chest and said confidently: "Erin is accompanied by a knight, just a few days away, where will there be anything." ”

“…… Which knight-sama? ”

"The same guy I told you about to help our village defeat the rebels."

“…… That's too suspicious! Kayiru couldn't help but cry out.

Thales looked at her suspiciously, "It's not suspicious, Lord Knight has always been a wise and mighty ......"

"Alright, show me Erin's letter...... Perhaps, even the letters are forgeries......" Kayilu frowned, impatient.

In her mind, the unknown knight was no different from the abduction suspect.

"Letter, uh, yes, yes, it looks like I'm holding it." Thales reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from inside, "I almost took it with my pants yesterday to wash it, you see......"

"Give it to me!"

Kayilu snatched it with one hand, flattened it with the other and opened it, only to see such a paragraph clearly written in a beautiful font on the crumpled letterhead.

"The lilies are blown by the wind, and the spring maiden sits under the fruit trees, the flowers are in full bloom, dreaming of summer and autumn - the happiest time of the year. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer from this village, and after careful consideration, I'm going to leave this village for the time being and go around the country with the knights. But don't worry, I am very happy now, and the knight says that he will prepare a lodging place for me in each city, and pay for all my food...... I am sure that this trip will be very good. Our approximate itinerary is from Northampton to Bedford, to Oxford, Nottingham, North York...... Finally to the Northern Ireland islands, we are now heading to our first stop, Bedford......"

"Isn't this TMD a honeymoon!" Kailu said in a state of collapse.
