Chapter 49 – Moon Knight Angela (1)

Chapter 49 Moon Knight Angela (1)

“Chemm.
Now I think we should talk about the ‘Knight of the Moon’.”

Zach clears his throat and speaks next to Ludvik driving the wagon.
Are you saying this to Marianne, who has been sitting beside me from earlier with her head down, blushing?
She gets caught in her wet panties, so she runs off to a corner and returns and doesn’t say a word until just now.
Zach didn’t notice at all, so he deliberately didn’t mention it and waited and talked.

No, I didn’t notice.
I was trying to talk about panties just to comfort myself, because Ludvik hit me on the side.
Is this the difference between those who currently have a girlfriend and those who don’t?

“Okay.
While you were here, I looked at Master’s reports all the time, and his resume was splendid.”

“I fought, and it was spectacular.
Magic knights are really rare.”

Ludvik’s words drew everyone’s attention.

“Have you ever fought?
Ludvik, you yourself?”

“Yes.
Apparently, since I’m a pyromancer, she seemed to bring that woman who is also a cold mage and also a swordsman.”

“Okay? How was it?”

“I can never do it alone.
That woman, she is on par with Anastasia even with ice-type magic.
But I also write swordsmanship.
At least in a one-on-one match, he’s far above my level.”

What’s wrong with Ludwig, who acts as assistant referee whenever he opens his mouth?
It is extremely rare for this guy to readily admit that someone is stronger than him.

In the first place, if this guy had been from an aristocratic background, she would have worn the mark of a centurion from the beginning of her military life.
Of course, the wizard is precious, so I’ll keep it on the front line.

“Wasn’t your girlfriend also a special judge?
What is the magic level of the magic knight?
According to her report, she is only 22 years old.”

“… I’m suddenly feeling weird.
When I think about what I was like when I was 22…
Humans definitely grow fast.”

“At that point, isn’t Angela a genius?
Most of the swordsmen of the Hwan Empire are also bad at swordsmanship, Captain.”

“It’s like Zach said.
Magic and Qigong go in completely different directions.
There are many magic knights who only know how to do chess.”

It is possible for races with long lifespans, such as demons and fairies, to learn martial arts while learning magic.
Me too.

But qigong is a matter of talent and constitution.
If it doesn’t start, then nothing happens.
There is nothing to deal with with science like magic.

Magic is a mysterious power that is achieved by rearranging the natural forces that exist in nature with the mana within the body.

However, qi swordsmanship (气劍術) is to gather energy in the body and strengthen or release it.
In the first place, mana is the power to rearrange natural forces,
Qi is a tangible form of life force that exists in the body.

To be able to do these two things at the young age of 22 is truly worthy of being called world-class equipment.
That’s why he was selected for the special entrustment team to assassinate the demon king.

“Then, your fighting power has been verified.
I would believe it if I said that ‘Genocider’ Khan attacked this woman because he wanted to fight.”

“Chief, it really could be.
If it’s that crazy grandpa’s personality.”

Natural acceptance.
Also, I wasn’t the only one who thought so.

“What about mental barriers?
Marianne, you said you worked together with the Moon Knight, right?”

“Yes. Angela-sama is definitely very good at ice-bound attack magic.
It’s hard to see such a person even on the battlefield.
But, um.
Other than combat magic, I didn’t feel it was very good.
Should I say it’s rather difficult?
Sure, it’s great for a 22-year-old, but…
Compared to the achievements of attack magic and swordsmanship, I think the mental barrier is weak.”

Flipping through the report, his specialty is limited to ice-bound magic and swordsmanship.

No, why did you investigate this?!
Isn’t that so good?!

“But I’m worried that you will fiercely resist Kamyu-nim.
The process of subduing it will be difficult.”

“The nun is right, Captain.
Let’s just suppress them by force, so there are knights, and their fighting power is high.”

As he spoke, the wagons and horse-riding guards were approaching the northwestern border.
Gradually, the soil turned black, and bones and skeletons began to appear in the middle.
We pass houses and trees left burnt.

“Captain, these are not just ruins.
It is a ‘cursed land’.”

“… I felt it too.
It’s a big deal.”

It is a land of eerie atmosphere.

“Hey, Captain!
Is the iron mask of the world afraid of this?”

“You can’t use magic here.
80% of our current power is magic.
How long will those mercenaries last if something happens?”

Fixed mana.
The natural force that exists throughout nature is stopped as if nailed to it.
Since it cannot be rearranged, magic cannot be used.

“It is the curse of the old necromancer, ‘Rich’ Desdymona.
What kind of enchantment is it that lasts so long…”

Marianne looks around her and frowns at her.

“Let’s get through it as quickly as possible.”

“Okay, hey!”

I was wrong.
This whole land was a cursed land.
No matter how much they ran, dirt that seemed to have turned to ashes and scattered skeletons appeared in the middle.
There are also traces of the skulls being broken and cleaned as if they were trying to break the curse.

“Captain, is there hypnotism other than magic?”

Ludwig abruptly brings up his words.

“Huh? There is also pure hypnotism.
I know how to write.”

“Why don’t you bring them here and subdue them?
At least you won’t be able to use magic, right?
Sword fighting is not beyond common sense.”

“Pure hypnosis is something you can only apply to when the other person accepts it in a very comfortable state, so it probably won’t work.
Subdue, drag, and use hypnotic magic…
Um, I’ll think about it.”

All over again.

After a long time, the cursed land was over and the normal land was revealed.
Phew, I was worried that the mental control on the mercenaries and horses would be broken because they stayed so long.
Thank god.

“Leader!
If you keep going like this, you will come to the ‘Light Blinger’ Garrison.
Are you still going?”

“Okay.
You must have received the wagon of restorative medicine sent earlier, so you should know the name of our herbalist.
I’ll go in saying I’ve arrived with additional recovery medicine.”

“Are you going to check if he’s a spy?”

“I heard that the saintess of the sun inspected it, but which priest would do it more?
Don’t worry, Zach.”

After running for several days while discussing that, I was slowly approaching the front line in the northwestern region.
Fortunately, the pursuers who chased us from the cathedral have not yet been there.
Intermediate checkpoints were erected, and soldiers were patrolling or camping.

“Now, rumors must spread that the Saint of the Sun has come to the frontlines.”

“That’s what I was hoping for too.
I will tell the priests and nuns on the front lines what High Priest Philip is up to.”

“I don’t know if the news of the declaration of the holy war burns more.”

She clenched her fists at my words and ignited her desire.

“Do you know why I am imprisoned in the cathedral?
There are not one or two people who have doubts about the cathedral terrorism and High Priest Philip’s call for crusade.
A temple is… Priests and nuns know better than anyone that it is no longer sacred.
A few more days would have turned it into a massive protest.”

“Huh?
So you’re saying there’s already been a small protest?”

“After the funeral, the theory of responsibility arose as to how the demon army had infiltrated and where they were hiding.
In the process, many reformist comrades suffered unfair things.
Mid-level priests joined in the strike, so meals and administration stopped halfway.”

Somehow, they said they were detained after a few days, so it seemed like they had made a real fuss.
Even on the side of the high priest Philip, there was no bird to drive slowly.
So, I had a bunch.

“I heard that the declaration of the holy war was made almost unanimously at the high priest’s meeting.
Something like that happened.”

“After all, the devil is in the details.
It matters who is sent and who is in charge.
War priests and nuns will know the atmosphere as they switch front lines.
Because they are the ones who will be sacrificed first.”

Marianne makes a promise with her eyes shining.
Hmm, the atmosphere inside the cathedral isn’t as one-sided as I thought.

A garrison appeared surrounded by a very large wooden fence.

“I will check. What did you come for?”

“This is the main store of the herbalist Grande Army.
I brought recovery medicine and herbs from the cathedral.”

“Oh, I came a few days ago.”

“He is the manager of the second store,
I am the head office representative.
Didn’t you decide to arrive in three parts?”

At my words, the officer enters the checkpoint and rummages through the papers.

“Hmm, that’s right.
Open the luggage compartment for a moment.
Let me see some things.”

The officer nods at the few boxes I opened.

“If you go to the right here, the priests will conduct a demon judgment test.
What about the armed men in the back?”

“A mercenary for escort.
I will not go inside.”

The ones entering are Marianne and I, who are sure of their identity.

“Here, this person will also go in… Uh?
Aren’t you the Saint of the Sun?!”

“Hello, this is Marianne.
Accompanied by these people of her from the cathedral.
You are suffering a lot.”

“Hey, please shake my hand just once!”

Marianne shook her hand and she gave her a little hug.
Fan service for sure!

“The saintess hugged me…”

Honey drips from the officer’s eyes.
Sheesh, that’s annoying.

The officer walked to the point and screamed.

“Priestess, Sister!
Look who’s here!”

A priest and a nun walked out through the gateway.

“Oh, Bill! Proposal!”

“Marianne?!
What’s going on here?”

“Oh my gosh, what’s wrong!
Number of animals! Nice to meet you!”

A nun holding her hands and floating in place.
A priest next to him asking for a handshake.
There are no idols in the religious world.

“How have you been doing?!
What’s up!
You left the front line!”

“I missed you guys, so I came here with the excuse of taking a recovery drug test.
This is Kamyu from the herbalist ‘Grande Army’.
He accompanied me.”

“Hello!”

Welcome to my polite greeting.

“Welcome. Welcome.
Let’s go to our barracks and talk.
There is honey secretly hidden.
Would you like some honey tea?”

The priest and the nun were happy, and the prosecutor naturally entered the barracks without paying attention.

“Bill, can I leave?”

“No one came from the rear for days.
Because of the cursed land around here, there are no private houses.
Wow, how have you been?”

Perhaps it was such a pleasure to see them, the chatter continues as they clear the papers off the table and set refreshments.

“Ah, Mr. Camus.
Coffee with honey is delicious.
Would you like to try it?”

“Wow, I look forward to it.
Thank you.”

I usually drink tea rather than coffee.
I can’t say no in an excited atmosphere.

Slurp.

“This is really good!”

“Right? It feels different from sugar.”

They are kind people.
When we met on the battlefield, all I could think of was that they would kill each other.
Marianne has an affair with a nun named Jesse.

“Oh my God, you have become prettier.
… But do you have a boyfriend?”

“Pooh! Coke Coke.
What are you talking about, nun!”

“Marianne.
Napkin here.”

“Thank you, Bill.
Proposal! He really is!
There is no sound!”

Sister Jesse Lan shrugs her shoulders playfully.

“Hey, don’t overdo it.
A person’s life is a fly’s life, that’s why they’re dating
Is the sun god taking it?
Everyone is good at not being seen.
Right, honey?”

Startle.

“Uh, uh… Yes.”

The priest who poured the coffee stopped.
Marianne opened her bunny eyes and covered her mouth with her hands.

“Oh my god… Bill, you and Jesse…
Aren’t you both anxious because you two couldn’t catch and eat?”

“That is… Fighting made me feel better.
And it’s because he’s a naughty kid, and once you get to know him, that’s his charm.”

“Kyahahaha!
Did you see, did you see?!
My boyfriend has a cute corner!”

Sister Jesse laughs as she crosses the arms of a clergyman named Bill, who smiles awkwardly.

… It reminds me of Liv for some reason.
As everyone knows, they are young people in their twenties and thirties.

“Oh my god… I really couldn’t have imagined it.
How long have you been dating?”

“Um, about a year?”

“How can you guys fool me like this?!
Bill, didn’t you say that the last time I saw you?!”

“Hey, what if I get caught by the high priests?
Of course, security is essential.
Look at me
To fool the enemy, you have to fool the allies first.”

Bill shakes his hand while wearing a baggy priest’s uniform.

“And…
Very awesome…
I had no idea.
I didn’t feel anything like that…”

Marianne still can’t keep her mouth shut.
The round eyes are still there.

“Oh my, boy.
It’s because you’re so arrogant and stubborn.
Everyone secretly gets along well.
My boyfriend was like that too, but he’s so sweet now, isn’t he?
Everyone is doing it.
What’s the matter?”

Jessie laughs as she crosses her priest’s arm with one arm and covers her mouth with one hand.

“But, Marie.
Who are you meeting too?
You seem to be dating these days?”

“Oh, no…
Why do you think so?”

Yaya!
Take care of your face!
If you make such a stupid face, I will be more suspicious!

“Hmm… For some reason, my lips are getting redder, and the atmosphere is strange…
Was there something colorful?
When a woman loves, her body changes too.
Although your body was originally amazing!”

Haha…
Sa, I guess it’s because I’m wearing plain clothes! Long time!”

“Is it?
Hey Bill!
Don’t look at Mary’s chest! Die!”

“Uh? Didn’t see!
Really!”

… Poor girl
How can you not see this?
Just to show off your presence.

A nun raising her arms as if to hit her priest, and a priest shrinking in fright.
They are a fun couple.

“Oh, that’s annoying.
Marie, do you be stubborn and get such ferocious breasts?
If you’re not going to use it, give it to me!”

“What, what?! What is he talking about!”

Marianne hastily makes her X in her hands and covers her breasts.
That’s what draws more attention…
Let’s have coffee, coffee…

“Eh tsk tsk.
Rebekah also always envied your heart.
Oh by the way, what about Rebekah?
How are you?”

“…”

A heavy silence came.
Seeing Marianne make a complicated expression, it seems that Bill and Jesse felt ominous.
… It’ll be too shocking to put it out of Marianne’s mouth just yet.
I opened my mouth instead.

“Sister Rebekah…”
