Although there was a chance that she might bare his fangs at him, that in itself would be enjoyable as well. While laughing to himself, Hifumi returned atop the horse and they left the town behind by passing through the unmanned gate.
– National Border –
On Orsongrande’s side and Vichy’s side, both somehow managed to allocate soldiers taking charge to a certain degree within a few days.
From now on, all that was left was to increase the number of personnel coming here as it is. They would be divided back into their original unit upon returning.
On the Orsongrande’s border side, besides soldiers coming there was one more person, a knight.
It was Pajou.
In order to fully investigate the abnormal situation, she intended to stay here as visitor for a few days.
Currently, the corpse of the criminal who made his appearance here first and the corpse of Gothras, who was slain by Hifumi, were to be examined, as she was in the process of writing down the report.
“After all Vichy hasn’t formed an alliance with Horant yet, I wonder if they are not simply being used?

It seemed like there was someone fighting on the other side of the border.
“Good grief, there is no time to take a rest at all.” (Pajou)
While cursing, Pajou quickly equipped her armor and sword and rushed out of her own room.
The light of the dim torch only illuminated the necessary minimum of the location.
Basically the border wasn’t passed at night.
It was possible to fail to notice things in the darkness and judgement grew dull, too.
Rarely there were merchants and such who arrived at night due to ending up making a mistake in their planning. They pass the time by camping a little bit away before devoting themselves to passing through the border in the morning.
Today it wasn’t such a idiotic merchant but an assailant appearing.
“Listen! Annihilate the soldiers on the Vichy side! Do not leave one person alive!” (Hifumi)
While riding the horse, Hifumi swung the fundou of the kusarigama (T/N: If you don’t know what that means, reread the earlier chapters.
