24 – Emilia Silbrate

“Ah… Well… That’s…”

Bewildered, Emilia stuttered and lost her eyes.

Well, I knew that she was a beast, but she would think I didn’t know, so it’s embarrassing.

“Never mind, I expected it to some degree.”

“That… I see.”

“Rather than that, I ask you to prepare for evacuation as soon as possible. Join the other villages and head for Arianrod Fortress.”

“Yes!”

Well, I knew it rather than expected it, but I can’t help it because I can’t say it.

Emilia ran to the group presumed to be her family, and I also went to the place where evacuation preparations were delayed and helped with the preparations.

Anyway, because of the strange monsters I met on the way to this place, a corner of my heart felt very uneasy.

“Everyone, evacuation preparations are complete!”

“Then let’s go, there might be monsters around, so be vigilant!”

“Okay!!”

Emilia Silvrate was born into a family of Silver Lang warriors.

However, unlike her older brother, she had no aptitude for being a warrior. She

She Of course, as she is a beast, her basic physical abilities are excellent, but she is not enough to call herself a Rang warrior.

But on the other hand, her magic aptitude was very good.

Among the soldiers dispatched from Ariane Road, an old wizard saw through her qualities.

Unfortunately, however, there was no wizard in her village to teach her.

It was because, historically, she was the first child to be born with a high aptitude for magic among the Eunrang tribe, where tough warriors are always born, not other beastmen.

The wizard dispatched from the fortress couldn’t stay in the village all the time.

Before he left, she was able to learn the basics somehow, but Emilia still lacked it.

“How about going to the Royal Capital Academy?”

Those words came from Emilia’s mother.

However, the Beast Tribe, including the Eunrang Tribe, were not so welcomed in human society.

It was only in the northern region where they lived that it was enough to attract a little attention when you go down to the village, but in other regions it was so bad that you wouldn’t even treat it as a human being.

Emilia was very uneasy about that.

And cost was also an issue.

Since Emilia’s family is her family of warriors, she was wealthy by selling the materials obtained from monster hunting.

It was an amount she could afford to pay with a little effort unless she was a very poor aristocrat, but it was a burden on Emilia’s house, who was only affluent no matter how much.

The problem was resolved surprisingly quickly.

‘Ira of the Silver Lang tribe with high aptitude for magic. That’s an interesting story.’

Earl Wentos, receiving regular reports from her soldiers, showed her interest in her.

From the beginning, it was Count Wentos who did not spare money in discovering and supporting talented people.

He willingly paid all of her expenses for attending Emilia’s academy.

Well, her talents blossomed, though on the condition that she work for the county one day.

Practicing the basics of her magic and living with her family, Emilia went to her academy when she came of age.

She had heard that the eldest son of the count who supported her was also going to her academy, but she had never met her. She

She thought that if she ran into her someday, she should say thank you.

Emilia was very excited about the royal capital she arrived at after leaving the north for the first time.

Seeing the scenery for the first time and the many people, Emilia’s heart was filled with anticipation.

The head of her academy didn’t discriminate against her number, so he was considerate of allowing her to attend her academy.

Although she had to hide her ears and tail, Emilia continued her faithful academy life and improved her magic skills.

However, that fun life ended in about a month.

Emilia didn’t have a single person she could call her friend.

When each of them created something like a group of their own, Emilia, who was busy hiding her identity, was a step behind.

In the first place, the group full of aristocratic girls was out of the question.

There was also a group with quite a few commoner girls, but instinctively I felt bad, so I avoided them.

Emilia’s life at the academy was lonely, unless even a small group of commoner girls entered the academy where the majority were nobles.

Then one day, during her quiet academy life, a duel took place.

Besides, among the names of her duelists, she had a name that Emilia was familiar with.

‘Kyou Wentos…’

None other than the Count’s Sogaju was one of the duelists.

Come to think of it, she was in the same class.

Emilia, busy with her own business, remembered only then that she had decided to thank him when she met him.

The duel ended with the disqualification of the opponent.

The reason was that magic other than duelists helped the opponent.

Sensitive to her magic, Emilia didn’t even know who she was, but she felt it.

Sogaju suffered minor injuries and left the scene with the support of other students.

Emilia wondered if she would go after him, but in the end she stayed.

Slap!!

She turned around in a loud voice.

It looked like the red-haired girl hit the blue-haired girl with all her might.

Amariel Ignis and…Who are they?

I definitely remembered the name of the high-ranking aristocrat, Riel Ignis, but I couldn’t quite remember who the other one was.

She later found out that she was Sogaju’s ex-fiancé, but since he was her ex-fiancé, Emilia didn’t feel the need to remember it, so she forgot about it.

After the duel commotion, her quiet academy life continued.

Emilia still had no friends.

Emilia, who couldn’t make friends with her until the day of the outdoor class, she was left alone when she finally made her team.

Like Emilia, she remains alone, and the person who forms her team is Alan Ludwig.

I wondered why he, a popular person who is always surrounded by girls, was left alone.

And obviously, the duel opponent of Sogaju a while ago.

A man who drags girls around all the time, and is not on good terms with Sogaju, the son of a benefactor, the count.

Emilia’s impression of him was basically bad.

“Hey… Mr. Alan, is it really okay to have a party with a boy like me? It’s nice to have someone willing to change…”

“No… Are you really okay?”

No, ask for a change.

Emilia had a bad impression, but wanted to avoid him because she had a strange feeling, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of changing it.

As Emilia had no friends of her own, she could only hope that he would switch with someone, but she failed.

The scent that emanated from him was too much for Emilia, a beastman.

And then, the four-day holiday came.

Emilia was in a bad mood, perhaps because of the scent of the flowers she smelled a while ago.

She has no friends. She has no one to go out with. Thinking of a brief return to her hometown, she boarded a train to the North.

Little Lake, a city between the Marquis of Brune and the North. If you take a carriage from here, you will find Emilia’s hometown, the county.

Emilia put her belongings in her luggage compartment and climbed into the carriage, and as her party with her rode into the carriage, she turned her eyes to them.

And, she was surprised to see that they both knew each other.

“Uh… You guys are in the same class…?”

It is none other than the daughter of the Countess and the Duke.

People as high as the sky got on their side.

“Emilia Silvreit…? Why are you here?”

Huh? You knew my name

She thought about that for a moment before Emilia said that she was on her way to her hometown.

I see, Lord Soga is returning home too.

While she got on the carriage and was moving north, Riel Ignis, the duke’s daughter, spoke to Emilia.

She was far from her original place (she is now in her own back seat with her seat move), but she was the type that neither she nor herself said to her, so she never had a conversation

But the first time I talked to her, she was a very bright and lively person.

“Emi’s hometown is in the county!”

“Yes, even though it’s a county, it’s a small village in the woods.”

Riel even calls herself by her nickname.

‘I think Emilia is a bit long, but can I call you Emmy?’ And she subconsciously nodded her head.

Emilia felt a bit bewildered, but for some reason she didn’t mind talking to her. She

She wondered what it would be like to talk to her friend.

“The person who paid for my academy is Count Wentos.”

“Kyou’s father?”

“Yes, so I wanted to say thank you…”

Sogaju, who was sitting next to Riel, had fallen asleep before he knew it.

“It must be difficult to do now.”

“Ahahahaha…”

I can’t help it, let’s say thank you next time.

When Emilia arrived at her home village, her villagers greeted her.

Emilia felt comfortable for the first time in a long time, such as performing the magic she learned in front of the villagers or introducing the contracted summons.

She said that her hometown is the best, she thought.

But even as she thought so, Riel’s face with whom she spoke in her carriage came to mind.

‘When she returned to the capital, she promised to return with her.’

For some reason, Emilia felt a bit more excited about her academy life.

But the next day, the bell suddenly rang announcing that there was an emergency in the village.

Then soldiers rushed in and issued evacuation orders to each family.

Emilia’s father, her warrior father, and her brother got up to pack her gear, and Emilia packed her things with her own mother.

‘Oh right! Student card!’

When entering the village, she had left it at the checkpoint just in case.

She hurriedly ran to the checkpoint, Emilia took her student plaque and tried to return home.

I saw her familiar back.

“Huh? Mr. Kyou…?”

“Emilia Silbrate. This must have been her hometown.”

She listened to him, and Emilia belatedly realized that she hadn’t hidden her ears and tail.

“Ah…Well…That’s…”

“Never mind, I expected it to some degree.”

“That… I see.”

Come to think of it, he is from Count Wentos.

Of course, he must be someone who has an understanding of beasts.

“Rather than that, I ask you to prepare for evacuation as soon as possible. Join the other villages and head for Arianrod Fortress.”

“Yes!”

Emilia ran straight home. She

She completed preparations for evacuation, and she joined the ranks of the refugees.

Among the Nlang refugees, the warriors joined the soldiers and stood in the escort group, saying that they would also participate in the escort.

Naturally, Emilia also tried to join the Howeijo, but her father and her brother stopped her.

“Emilia, you are still a student. Leave this place to us.”

“My older brother will definitely protect you, so I’ll ask you to take care of your mother.”

To the strong will of the two, Emilia could only nod her head.

“Everyone! Start moving!!”

With a loud voice coming from the front, the refugees started moving.

Wow… Seeing this, there are so many people.

I somehow managed to get to the first village and join everyone, I thought that when I saw the group of refugees gathered together.

The number of refugees themselves was about a hundred, but when the escorts were included, the number was quite large.

“Let’s start moving once the ranks are all sorted out.”

“Yes! Everyone! Start moving!!”

A procession of refugees moving in line with those horses.

I had to escort them to the Arianrod Fortress.

It’s not that monsters didn’t appear in the middle, but there weren’t too many of them.

By now, my father’s troops from the Arianrod Fortress should be blocking the monsters.

While my father stopped the monsters, I had to quickly lead the refugees into the fortress.

So I hope to be able to move on from time to time.

“Brother! I see a fortress in the distance!”

After coming out of the forest, I saw a rough but magnificent fortress.

Now, just a few dozen more minutes away is the Arian Road Fortress.

Even among the refugees, voices of relief were heard.

But inside of me, there was still a sense of uneasiness due to the strange behavior of the monster.

“Okay, let’s move quickly!”

At the time I shouted that, I felt like something was looking at me.

I was startled and looked around, but there was nothing.

Refugees started moving.

‘Did I hear hallucinations because I was so nervous…?’

The moment you think so.

Found…

I felt like I heard that voice.

I was startled, but the soldier’s report made me feel better.

“Brother! A group of monsters are approaching from far away!”

“What…?”

I saw a group of monsters that should be counted in hundred coming this way from far away.

Not in the direction my father led his troops, but in a different direction where there was no report at all.

And those are all demons not from the north, but from other regions.

Wow, that’s going to turn around.

“Move! Move quickly!”

I was in a hurry and ordered the refugees to move quickly.

However, there is a clear difference between the movement speed of refugees and monsters.

A decision had to be made here.

“All but the minimum troops to escort the refugees and refugee warriors must gather.”

“Bocchan, I can’t believe…”

“Here to stop the monsters.”
