Phew! Phew!

“Shoot the arrow! Move the boat again! Come on!"

“The wind blows to the west! First turn west! ”

After walking back behind the dozens of pirate vessels approaching, the knights who were helping them clear the bodies hurriedly rushed in and blocked the way.

“Sorry, you can't go any further. ”

A knight who doesn't behave rudely despite being a mercenary.

Of course, it's not because they're so polite, but because they guessed a little bit about my skills.

“Why can't I go? I'm the one who got on this boat for 15 gold. ”

“… I hope you understand. The pirates are targeting you right now, so we can't keep a suspicious person around. ”

“You said you killed over 20 pirates and they're suspicious? And even though I caught that Santro guy? ”

Santro, who had fainted, was just sitting in one corner with his limbs wrapped around his crew.

As I pointed to him, the knights who stood in his way scratched his back head in embarrassment.

“That's...”

“I'd like to be commissioned by a boy named Mayandra. ”

I don't want to be asked for real money.

I'm just curious why the pirates are targeting Mayan and why the knights of the birch family carry so many artifacts.

“Yes? Ah! He's a noble.Mind your manners... ”

“Lord Ferrion, I'd like to speak with him. ”

Behind those helpless knights came the voice of a young boy.

“Yes? But Master... it's dangerous. ”

“Lord Ferrion, look at the number of pirates running now. It's still dangerous. I want his help. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

The knights hesitated to get out of the way because the boy said that he was quite strong.

‘Reminds me of Linda. ’

If you think about all the time you spent at Harvest Mime, Linda would be about the same age as that boy.

As he approaches the boy, he reaches out his hand first.

“Thank you for your help. I am Mayand de Lekova of the Leco family. ”

“Yes, it's good to see you. I am mercenary Kaiyan. ”

“Hmmm... I'm a nobleman. ”

“I know that. ”

As I held his hand as he relaxed the horse, Mayan looked at my face and hands alternately, embarrassed.

‘The young man is already trying to play the class. ’

I'm the one who speaks like a friend to Varane, the heir of the Marquis family. How dare you?

I'm not the person I once respected as I was to Tarien.

“Well, I see. You're pretty good. Are you a mercenary from the Knights? ”

“No, I'm just a mercenary. You want my help more than that? ”

“Hmmm... I must return to my territory. Help my knights defeat the pirates. Then I'll give you a lot of money. ”

“I was going to take the quest, but that's good. The money... We'll decide later, and I want to know something before we do. ”

“What's that? ”

You raise your hand to Mayand, who is staring at you curiously, pointing to the pirate ship.

“Why are the pirates after you? From what I hear, you're going too far to break the rules about not attacking a Garonne Empire ship. ”

Apparently, some of the crew shouted as the pirate ship approached.

Why would pirates attack a ship run by the Garun Empire?

That means this doesn't normally happen.

“Th-that's... khmm... I can't tell you. ”

“Really? Can't you tell me? If you don't tell me, the pirates will catch you. Will four articles be enough? Approximately 200 people. Besides, there could be more like Santro out there. ”

Mayan, who was avoiding the answer, looked at the pirate ship, closed her eyes and looked back at me. As if he had decided.

“Don't tell me, will you help me? ”

“Of course. I have to get to Shaniel as soon as possible. ”

[Kaiyan... Against a young child...]

“Good! Keep your ears close, because no one else will." ”

As the boy demanded, I approached him and told him why the pirates were targeting me.

“… really? ”

“Yes. Let's go talk somewhere.... ”

“You dug up a real ancient dungeon in Rico and Territory? That too, very old? ”

“I told you... I'll give you some more talk.... ”

“Oh, this is unexpected. If this is resolved, can I go back to the territory with you? ”

[Oh! If it's a very old dungeon, there might be evidence of the Baryon War or the War of the Tribes. Maybe you'll find information on Ventia Gems!]

I nodded my head as if he had given up his gaze.

“... I'll take you back to the territory once this is resolved. ”

“You promised? Then wait here for a while. ”

Now that you've received your quest, it's time to get to work.

You rub Mayan's head once with an unsatisfactory face and approach the sailors flying arrows off the ledge.

“We're catching up! Speed it up! ”

“This is the best time! The weight's slowing me down! ”

“Unnecessary cargo... What? That guy? ”

As I grab the sailor's arm, he looks at me in surprise and lowers his head slightly.

“Thank you for your help earlier. It's an urgent situation right now, so if you could just step back and post it...”

“What a waste of cargo. ”

“Yes? I had to throw away the cargo so I could get away a little more. ”

“Don't throw away your cargo for a while. ”

With a confused look on your face, you tuck your hand inside the cloak you're wearing and pull out the bow you received from Tarien from the locker.

“It's been a long time. ”

[It's Kaiyan. Let's focus on melee combat. We can't help it!]

“Liekah, can I contain the error in my arrows? I think the Red Knights used to put an error in the spear in Panybull. ”

I've seen knights shoot arrows many times, but I've never seen anyone shoot arrows with error.

Moreover, unlike the steel spear used by knights, most of the arrows are hardwood to contain errors.

[There's nothing wrong with trying. Kaiyan is currently an unstable error master. But why the wing...?]

“Come on, the wings are too obvious. ”

You feel confident in Rieka's words, putting arrows in your bow and focusing your mind.

‘Yes, you can. Focus, hold your breath. ’

Whoo-hoo!

The arrow slowly begins to envelop the error as you try more carefully than it does to inflict it.

In practice, it wasn't that hard, but I felt proud because I felt like I had learned a different skill.

“Good. First, the closest...”

Ping!

You fire your first arrow at the mast of a pirate ship that has been chased for 10 metres.

An arrow that flies at a significantly faster rate than the one used in Panybull.

Qajik!

Kuaang!

“Oops! The pirate ship is broken! ”

“It exploded! ”

“…. I should have used the wings. ”

The arrow in the mast completely shattered the thick mast, causing the wing to explode and destroy a pirate ship.

‘I shot an arrow because I was afraid the wings would catch my eye...’

As I carefully examined the surrounding area, the sailor I was holding up his hand and opened his mouth, lifting his finger toward me.

The moment I tried to raise my hand to urgently tell him to be quiet.

“Oh... that's him! ”

You stare at the sailor with embarrassed eyes, wondering what the other sailors were doing when they shot arrows at the crew.

“Your stomach... is weak. Pirate ships.”

A situation that, as I explained, no one accepts.

The captain stepped forward while touching his head with embarrassment.

“Can you feed the same attack on that pirate ship as you just did? ”

“Of course.”

“Then... please. When you reach Shaniel Kingdom, I will report to the Empire and allow you to receive your reward. ”

“It's a reward... I've already promised to get it... Hehe! ”

Yuck.

I held my breath and pulled the bow protest with the idea that it would be occasional because it had already caught my attention.

This time, the target is to see the pirate ship wrecked and yell at the whale.

Ping!

Kuaang!

Again, the arrow that struck the mast exploded beautifully, spreading its error all around.

One arrow at a time would be fine. ’

I was a little indifferent to the shield and archery I had learned in the beginning, but I imagined the destructive power of archery that I had used in a long time.

This enhances the overall combat stat, so the power is fine even if it is a basic skill.

"Could your shield be better? ’

I can't help but look forward to it.

You continue to fly arrows at the pirate ship with a joyful imagination.

Kuaaang! Kuaaang!

The arrows aren't powerful enough to sink the ship, but the sails that keep us going are broken and we can't keep up.

The moment I tried to put the arrow back on the bow, thinking of finishing it completely, the old man grabbed my arm and shook his head.

“It's okay now. They won't be chasing us anymore. I... I don't know how to thank you...”

When an old man who looks much older than Uncle Max acted so politely, I felt a little burdened.

“It's okay. I see a lot more injured people, but I'm fine, so you can go. ”

“Then I'll say hello again when I'm done. Then…”

An old captain who heads down to the end.

You say good-bye to him, turn your head and look at the Knights standing there, then approach Mayand, who is staring in surprise.

“You like quests this much, right? ”

“No, of course! Amazing! You're really a knight, aren't you? No, even a knight can't shoot an arrow that powerful...”

‘Yeah, I didn't see that either. ’

You can clearly see the error in the arrow.

This is very easy for a master class error pilot, but normal knights can't do it unless they practice enormously.

“Oh, wait a minute. There's one more person who might be surprised. ”

“What is it...”

Leaving Mayand alone, I approached Orion, who had been watching me ever since the beginning of the battle.

“Mr. Orion. ”

“Huh... Haha... I thought you said you were a mercenary? The Four Kingdoms must be quite a place. Seeing as how you're a mercenary. ”

Orion smiles halfway out of his mind and puts the dagger back in his pocket, embarrassed to look at.

“Thank you. No harm done. If it wasn't for you, I'd be caught up. ”

“I think so, too. I have something to talk to that boy, Mayandra, but why don't you take a break in the cabin? ”

“Of course... Don't worry too much about me. Go now. ”

“I'll see you later then. ”

I watched the Orions go down the stairs, holding the wobbly bridge, and then walked back to Mayand.

He's still keeping his eyes open for me.

He reaches out to stroke his head without me knowing how cute he is, and the knight called the Perion stops his hand.

“Hmmm... Mind your manners... This is the heir to the Leco family. ”

“I'll think about it. Can you get out of the way, please? We need to talk. ”

As the Ferryan moves away with a dissatisfied face, Mayan opens her mouth with gleaming eyes.

“Do you want to be your knight? If you want me to...”

“Deny. You don't even know what I'm capable of? If I wanted to be a knight, I could have been. Then why do you think I'm still a mercenary? ”

“Well, that's...”

“I don't want to waste my time on bothersome things. I think we have more to talk about. ”

I've heard about why the pirates were targeting Mayan, but I haven't heard about why she was in the garrisoned empire.

And how the pirates found out Mayan was aboard this ship.

“Let's talk slowly. It's a long way till sundown. ”

[Kaiyan... It's a bad thing to bully a child.]
