"Shit! d*mn it!

　Dan and banging on the desk.

　Lute-Glorio-Aricia was swearing in the office being occupied by himself.

　The report that had just come in. It was the failure of the expedition he had led. It was a literal wipeout of all but the troops that fled before the enemy.
　The leader of that fleeing unit had been fired and expelled from the order long ago.

　The significance of this failure is great.

　The purpose of this expedition was probably related to profit. It was like an investment, "I promise you this much profit if you invest this much in me," he said, and then he dumped almost all of his fortune.

　Naturally, they would lose credibility and their future activities would be greatly affected.

　Moreover, they failed by taking military action of their own accord. If it worked, you can still explain it away under the theory that it worked, but if it failed, that's not possible. Normally, this would be a court martial, and since he is a prince, he wouldn't go that far, but if he is exposed, he will be accused.

　If that happens, there will be many noblemen who will not follow him when he becomes king.

　You have to make up for this failure somehow, and Lute was in a hurry to make up for it.

What do you want to do? If we can't match this size, we will need more men, but if we move any more, there is a chance that the king will notice--

"I know you don't have to tell me that!

　It's a good idea to take a deep breath and calm yourself down with a "Huh ......" after yelling at the other man in the room.

It's a good idea to have a small number of people coming to you. What about the adventurers? There will be orichalcone class guys.

"They are now off on another matter. The lesser men are not strong enough, considering that they were not able to fight in the army.

Tch. ...... would have been that thing. That's the guy the Church got.

Is it about ...... brave (...)? But that one is still in education, and it belongs to the church, so it would be very tricky to get it out of there at our convenience,

It's money you'll be asking for anyway. Those misers in the guise of saints. There's a lot of money to be made if this goes well. And insinuate that I'll bite.

"Yes, sir. As you wish--

"Huh, how did this happen? ......

　The girl - Nell muttered to herself as she walked through the forest.


　She is a brave person (・・・・・).


　One day while living with her mother in a rural village, a man who claimed to be a priest of the church appeared and lured her into the path of bravery, saying, "You have what it takes to be a brave man.

　A brave man.

　It is a character from the ancient fairy tale, a hero who punishes bad people with his holy power.

　Her mother had told her the story and she had admired its existence since she was a child, so when she heard the story she jumped at once.

　She thought that if she became a hero, she could help those in need and relieve the burden of her mother who worked hard day and night to raise her in a poor family.

　And so she began her journey as a brave woman.

　Training as a brave woman was very strict. She was trained in battle to shreds by a knightly orderly, and desperately endured lectures on magic from an old man who claimed to be a court magician who could make her travel to the dream world if she was a little slack.

　You are able to get the most out of your own personal life.

　The order given to her is to defeat the demon tribe that is killing human beings living deep in the forest.

　Since it was her first order of business, she was fired up and equipped with the good stuff provided by the church and headed for the forest .......

Hiccup ......

"Geez!

　There was a rustling sound, and as soon as Nell braced herself, a huge bird took off into the sky.

"What's the matter with ......?

　Nell, unintentionally, let out a cry.


　--even though she is a brave person, she is an ordinary girl, she was scared.
