Chapter 116 (1/2)

At the port of Beretta stood a wooon

Issuing orders to her water dragon, she was having it carry construction materials

The feray hair was conspicuous, but nified Her eyes were sharp, and her gold pupils alht

To add to that, the ears twitching atop her head were adorable And as she stood a head lower than all the people working around her, dignified as she stood, she looked adorable herself An additional proble left and right It was truly adorable

Right… the fe child

”Are you Major Bennet?”

Rudel had been informed of her appearance, so he was able to find her without hesitation The docuht

”And you are?”

”Ma'am! Today forth, I have been stationed in this town, my name is Rudel arses!”

Looking over Rudel, she walked up to hiot, the more Rudel had to tilt his head doards to look at her

”I've received the report It seems you've perpetuated quite so what sort of face soh to be suddenly flown off to the outskirts would have, but you're quite the looker… I hold a firm belief that my subordinates' failures are to be corrected by my fist If you want to er me”

With Bennet glaring at hi his salute, ”At least your salute is first rate,” she praised him

For soht

”While our mission here is important, more than that, you will learn to adapt to the environ trouble to all the brigade aia, was it?”

”Yes aia subspecies Her name is Sakuya!”

Keeping a firm expression, Bennet hummed

”I didn't ask for her na cargo… and so? Where are your inspectors?”

Looking at the Major and her wagging tail, Rudel explained that they were unfastening the cargo As a new settle in Being able to carry such a large load of goods, Sakuya was a valuable means of transportation

”Put Sakuya on standby outside the town Don't let her dig holes outside the designated spaces For now,the work I can't leave detailed work to your dragon”

After saying only that, she ordered hi house and rest for the day Rudel recognized her as a captain who looked deeply into her subordinates

(Looks like it's going to be rough, but I'ht)

He recalled how Luxheidt told hiood superior Even if they were strong as knights, there were plenty of dragoons who couldn't take cohts Rudel felt relieved his superior didn't seem to be the hopeless type

Returning to her work, Bennet finished carrying on 'Heleene' to patrol the area

Alone in the sky, she pressed her forehead to Heleene's back, shaking a little Her tail was ly violently

'What's wrong, Bennet?'

”Listen to this! They finally sentrunt was all prim and proper, he's the ideal subordinate!”

Unlike how she acted before Rudel, Bennet raised her face in delight Short in stature and youthful in appearance, Bennet's greatest worry was being nized her as a cute coirl idealized was an existence held in fear and awe by those under them

And yet, when she did her best to beco officer, no one feared her

Let alone fear, she bit into the upper ranks of the dragoon brigade popularity contest and was treated as a mascot While she was adored by her subordinates, she ended up giving off an unreliable iht that ay her subordinates never stayed long

Truth be told, since she led along a valuable water dragon, she was issued a nu it hard to affix set subordinates to her While she knew about that, Bennet was sure it was because she was unreliable

”Alright! I'll do my best tomorrow!”

'… That's all well and good, but you'd best not get too enthusiastic and fail Around three times back, that ht?'

”T-that was just because I slipped up and broke a plate, but for so me like that all the way after…”

As Bennet failed to be honest, her tail powerlessly drooped limp over Heleene's back

'B-but now I' officer! Fronified commander!'

'Yeah, yeah'

Feeling Heleene's disbelief, Bennet strengthened her own resolve to do her best

Elsewhere, in the arses House e came in from the Halbades House

Erselica had the servants break the seal on those gifts sent to comoods were high-class-looking tools that would be necessary at the academy

”Luecke-dono of the Halbades House, was it? I heard he got along ith Rudel”

On herservants see Erselica was quite displeased with those servants' attitudes

When her beloved Chlust was chased to the outskirts as if to drive hi ill of Rudel in the shadows, turning their tongue to Chlust instead A portion of theht Rudel-sama was the more worthy heir from the start

Erseluca couldn't forgive those servants

Many of the servants who looked after Erselica urged her to write letters to Rudel, and even if she wrote up a letter to Chlust, it wouldn't be sent

(Will I be able to becoood actress for their comedy?)

Rudel- who she had mocked- was now so famous there wasn't a soul in Courtois who didn't know his na him the demon lord

The arses House that had oppressed such a man was now ruled by quite a dubious air Within all of that, a package from the Halbades House had been delivered The athtened up a bit

”Oh! This one's for me”

As she untied the goods sent to her, before she noticed it, her stepsister Lena was there That girl who usually wore around the clothing of a man, Erselica looked on her enviously Honest to herself, and it looked as if she was living free as could be

While they would never even talk in the past, at this point, they would exchange a feords if they met on the premises

”You look happy Even so, isn't that box a bit too big? What did you get?”

She folded her ar and opened the wood crate to find a spear inside For so sent to a lady, it was an item that made one question the sender's sense

However…

”Whooooh! A new spear! What's more, it's perfect for me!”

Handing the box off to the servants, Lena started swinging the spear she took in her hands Erselica could feel the wind raised as she spun it around

”L-Lena-sa that around in a place like this!”

Apologizing to the panicking servants, Lena looked at the spear Erselica didn't have the skills to tell if a spear was good or not, but it looked to be better than the ones held by the soldiers protecting the mansion

”To be so happy after receiving a weapon, what does that make you as a lady?”

”The one I've always used's been growing old, and it's short so this one is just right I'm sure my brother had some input”

Saying Luecke-san was easy to understand, Lena read through the letter inside the box The craftso there with it, the letter read

(Are they going to fine tune it for Lena? This is surprisingly troublesome)

To Erselica who had never held a weapon in her life, it was a talk that made her head hurt To that point, she had polished herself to be beautiful And that was in order to find a good faun to wane even more than before

When the surroundings would no longer draw close to her, it was decided Erselica would attend the acadeo and seduce a rich nobleman

Otherwise, the house wouldn't hold up, her mother said
