Chapter 37: The Guide
Naturally, the banquet in the center of Licorice Town in the evening was nothing for Giggs, who could be used by Sir Thor to make up the numbers, and here, in fact, his status was more like a mercenary, and Giggs was happy to be quiet.
Since the garrison's cooks were not actually included in the garrison's establishment, the garrison's food was solved by themselves along the way, and after taking part of the food expenses from Baron Leo, Giggs ordered his men to buy a large amount of meat and wine in Licorice Town as a reward for the garrison's march during this time.
When a lot of ingredients were moved into the camp set up by the garrison, the garrison suddenly boiled.
"Oh oh ~ Boss Giggs, that's great!!"
"Thank you Boss Giggs~"
Because Giggs had announced that it would be the boys' holiday after setting up the camp, the excited guards resumed their usual private address to Giggs, and Giggs shook his head and went with their joy.
In the large tent where the guards were alone for Giggs, Giggs sat cross-legged, and the noise outside was noisy, and the sound of joy did not affect Giggs's thoughts in the slightest.
The already dark sky darkened the tent, and only Giggs's body could be seen from the half-rolled tent doorway, and his mind followed his head into the darkness.
"Now that we have arrived in Licorice Town, today let the guards relax for a night, and tomorrow the backbone of the garrison will take action, since as a manager, naturally you can't enjoy the same treatment as ordinary soldiers, and you have to pay in line with this treatment when you fight. ”
"After reporting to Baron Leo tomorrow, I can send a few people to look for people in the town who are familiar with the situation around Withered Leaf Town, and then early the day after tomorrow, I will personally go with my guide to investigate the information. "Boss~ The meal is almost ready, the brothers are waiting for you~hehe~"
Gibson's characteristic laughter was heard outside the tent, and Giggs stopped thinking and got up and walked out of the tent.
Looking at Gibson licking and laughing in front of the door, Giggs couldn't hold back and slapped Gibson on the back of the head.
"Boss, why are you hitting me again?" said the Gibson man as he jumped aside and grumbled at Giggs.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back when I saw you~" Giggs said nonchalantly, walking straight ahead, ignoring Gibson's resentful eyes behind him.
"Oh oh ~ the boss is here ~"
"Boss, you're here~"
"Haha, look at Gibson's sad look, needless to say, he must have been beaten by the boss again~"
Giggs couldn't help but glance back at Gibson, "How long will you have to do this, and you won't be allowed to drink until you wait like this~"
"Don't mind~Boss~" Hearing Giggs's words, Gibson instantly changed his face and rushed to the front of Giggs.
Giggs looked at Gibson's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "You are really a living treasure~"
"Haha~" The guards couldn't help but laugh when they saw Gibson's appearance.
In this way, before the garrison dinner began, the atmosphere of the garrison members was already warm, and when the garrison member who was in charge of cooking the meal was brought to a climax today.
After seeing that the guards were full of wine, Giggs stood up with a bowl of wine.
"Brothers, wine is not a good wine, but let's drink, what we drink is a brotherly relationship, everyone goes out with me, I salute you with this glass of wine!"
Alan looked at the current situation and quickly stood up, "I'll count one, two, three, let's shout three dry words together!"
"One~two~three~"
",,!"
As everyone raised the wine in the bowl, Giggs drank the full wine in one gulp.
"Good !!"
Seeing that Giggs was so bold, the guards directly picked up the bowl and poured it into their mouths, regardless of whether they could drink it or not.
After drinking the first bowl of wine, the atmosphere of the garrison's dinner became even stronger.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The next day, Giggs, who got up a little late, couldn't help but cover his dizzy head, "Damn, these grandchildren~ Fortunately, the degree of this wine is not too high~"
As a chief, or a usually approachable officer, after drinking with his subordinates, you can imagine how much headache Giggs had to be caused by the constant toasting, but fortunately, this body exercises regularly, plus the alcohol content is relatively low, and Joe and they share the firepower, Giggs can barely walk back to the tent by himself.
After washing his face, Giggs, who felt that his whole person was in good spirits, slowly walked around the camp. Giggs, who was a little lazy, didn't bother to go for a run, so he just walked around the camp and stretched.
Knowing that Gibson had drunk too much yesterday, Giggs didn't let people wake them up, and since they had to do something, they had to be in good spirits.
Listening to the constant greetings of the guards who got up to him, Giggs nodded and smiled one by one, and some of them gossiped a few words, and when it was breakfast, the backbone of the guard team had already gotten up.
Giggs instructed them about their mission today, leaving the men on duty, and Giggs led Gibson and the others to Licorice Town, since they are now in someone else's territory, it is always good for a military officer to take action to inform the local lord.
After meeting Sir Siva and Baron Leo respectively, everyone in the garrison had already begun to scatter to inquire about the guide, and after Baron Leo refused Celia's request to go out with Giggs, Giggs, who had no follower, returned to the barracks directly to wait for the results.
When Gibson and the others brought back a man in his thirties with an honest face, Giggs looked at Gibson.
"Captain, this person used to be a hunter in Withered Leaf Town, and in the woods near Withered Leaf Town, according to himself, where there is a water source, where there are a few trees, he knows it, and we have also asked a few other people from Withered Leaf Town, and we know that Baggio, that is, he, is still a little famous in Withered Leaf Town, so we discussed it and brought him back. Gibson reported to Giggs very seriously.
"Well, you guys did a good job, Baggio, wait for us here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will pay you a satisfactory reward for this period of reconnaissance~" Giggs said to the honest man in front of him.
"Yes, my lord~" Baggio was very intrigued and did not ask Giggs what he wanted to investigate.
When Gibson and the others went down, he was the only one left in Giggs's tent.
"The war has begun~"
