When Bedivere crested the sand dune in a hurry, he had already prepared himself for the possibility that soone might have been injured or killed by the demonic beasts before Aozaki Rin could arrive. To his surprise, he found a group of people gathered tightly around the young man, every face filled with gratitude and reverence.
What is going on?
Just looking at the scene, Bedivere might have thought these slightly ragged people already knew the young man, and that he was so great figure to warrant such an enthusiastic reception. After all, even if he had defeated the demonic beasts, their attitude shouldn't have shifted to such deep respect so quickly.
Bedivere paused for a mont. It was only when he drew closer that he understood the reason for it all.
"There, that should be fine now."
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
An old man leaning on a crutch saw the boy instantly heal the wound on his arm—a gash left by a wyvern's claw—and thanked him profusely. The young man quickly waved his hands, indicating there was no need for such formalities.
"...I didn't realize you also knew healing magecraft, Lord En."
After waiting for the young man to finish treating everyone, Bedivere finally stepped forward and spoke with a hint of curiosity.
"It's just a very basic level. I originally tried learning it to see if I could heal my eyes, but I never quite mastered it. Looking at it now, perhaps I should be glad I learned a little back then."
Feeling the heartfelt joy radiating from the surrounding wanderers, a smile couldn't help but appear on Aozaki Rin's face.
"You are far too humble. A basic level of skill could never achieve such speed."
Bedivere felt that the young man's self-assessnt was a little skewed in so areas and couldn't help but chuckle helplessly. But now was not the ti to argue about such things. He looked at the wanderers nearby, nearly all of them carrying luggage, and after a mont's hesitation, he asked.
"By the way, have you asked them where they are heading? In this state, it doesn't seem like a normal migration..."
"...Not yet."
Aozaki Rin paused, realizing he had almost forgotten. The mont he had ntioned he could probably help with their injuries, the group had sward him with such enthusiasm that he hadn't had a chance to ask the questions he wanted to.
Thus, prompted by Bedivere, Aozaki Rin quickly found soone to ask.
"We are going to the Holy City, Lord En. We heard that once you enter, you receive plenty of food and water, and you no longer have to worry about attacks from those monsters."
"The Holy City? Do you an Jerusalem?"
Aozaki Rin blinked in confusion. Normally, that city was referred to as the "Holy Land."
"...That is indeed where the original 'Holy Land' was located. But now, the 'Holy Land' has beco the 'Holy City,' and the one who rules it is the being everyone calls the 'Lion King.' It was she who sent out the ssage that anyone qualified to enter the Holy City would receive every guarantee. That's why everyone wants to go there and try their luck, to see if they can enter that City of White Chalk."
After hearing the man's words, Aozaki Rin and Bedivere couldn't help but look at each other. Bedivere seed to be suppressing a wave of excitent as he took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"Excuse , do you know who this 'Lion King' is?"
"My apologies, I've only heard about her from others; I have never seen the King in person. However, I've heard that the King has several unbelievably valiant knights under her command, and so people call them the 'Round Table' or sothing like that..."
The man shook his head apologetically, feeling a pang of guilt that he could only offer such useless information to the savior of his daughter.
"It must be her. The King is here, Lord En..."
Bedivere suppressed the emotions swelling in his heart. Although he was puzzled by the rumor that the King called herself the "Lion King," in his mind, the only one who would use the term "Round Table" was the Knight King.
"Mm," Aozaki Rin nodded. He was rather surprised that the group they had just happened to save knew the whereabouts of "King Arthur." Although so parts of their story were concerning, it was imperative that he and Bedivere go to this so-called Holy City to investigate.
"If you don't mind, could you take the two of us with you?"
"Of course, that's no problem at all! In fact, everyone would be overjoyed if Lord En ca with us! Everyone, Lord En says he's coming with us to the Holy City!"
"Really? That's wonderful! Then I'll have a chance to repay him!"
"We're not far from the Holy City now. Since everyone should be able to get in, why don't we use what we have on hand to hold a small banquet tonight to thank him!"
"You're right! I'll contribute the dried at I've been saving!"
...
What had been a simple request had suddenly turned into a scene as lively as a thanksgiving festival. Listening to the fervent discussions of the wanderers around him, Aozaki Rin wanted to stop them, but it seed so people had already sprung into action, leaving him at a loss for words.
"It seems you are quite popular with them, Lord En."
Bedivere couldn't help but chuckle softly, while Aozaki Rin simply shook his head.
"I only did a little to help."
"To you, it may have been a small act of convenience, but to these people, it represents hope. Besides, you must understand that sotis, not everyone is willing to offer even that small bit of help."
Bedivere watched the group of wanderers. Though every one of them bore the signs of exhaustion from a long journey, at this mont, their faces were all filled with smiles.
"Right now, I find myself growing more and more envious of the '' from another world who beca your friend."
"...I thought we were already friends as of last night, Bedivere."
Aozaki Rin blinked, his genuinely surprised expression making the young knight laugh.
"You're right. That was sentintal of . Then, as an apology for my slip of the tongue, allow to help prepare that wyvern. It's too large to carry conveniently, so why not make it the main course for tonight's banquet."
Listening to the young knight's departing footsteps, Aozaki Rin smiled helplessly. Though everything was going almost too smoothly, it wasn't a bad thing. Without thinking for too long, he took a step forward and quickly joined the young knight, lending a hand.
