Chapter 67 – Death March

When he noticed me, Norden showed slight surprise on his face as he walked toward Roxy.

[Roxy-sama, a large scale stampede from Gallia is approaching the border.]

Hearing the report from Norden, Roxy replied with a calm attitude as if the sword fight just now never happened,

[Is it a death march?…. How big?]

[About 15,000 or so. A rather small number for a death march.]

[…..understood. What is the estimated time until they reach the border?]

[With their current speed, approximately 4 hours.]

[Before that happens, we'll intercept them in Gallia. How is the preparation going….]

Roxy gave me a quick nod as she talked to Norden, signaling that I could leave.

She's now moving to lead the army to stop the death march. That is, after all, why Roxy came here in the first place.

I refused to join the military as their mercenary, so I couldn't join her.

By the way, that wasn't what I was concerned about. When I glanced at Roxy's side,

[Cheh, that bastard…]

My eyes met with Norden's, and at that moment he turned to me with a grin on his face.

I really have no idea what that means. Whether it is 'are you ing or not?'…..or 'Surprisingly you are a coward, eh?'……or something like 'nice taste for a warrior, or none of above.

Anyways it's the bad kind of smile.

Roxy, Norden, and the soldiers had left, leaving me standing there alone. The crowd that was watching had also dispersed, thanks to the siren.

Meanwhile. Greed told me through 《Mind Reading》skill.

『Fate, what are you going to do?』

[Isn't already decided? Besides, I'm hungry.]

『So you are going……』

When I finally also walked away, only Eris was left there.

She had her eyes on me with a sense of longing in her gaze. She had promised me to not involve herself, but when I looked back, she had that shy expression on her face.

I'm in a hurry, but……

[What's wrong….don't give me that kind of face.]

When I approached her, Eris backed off instead, keeping some distance between us.

Then, she advised me with a low voice.

[You'd better not go.]

[Since Eris said that, then I need to go even more so……..thank you, for worrying about me.]

[………….because it's bad to be always unreasonable.]

She went back into the bar without looking back. Eris did say that she'd remain neutral. So even if she told me that it's going to be dangerous, I really had no idea what kind of danger it would be.

Even so, it's still a precious piece of information. I'll have to thank that girl for being trustworthy. Let's just keep that in mind for now.

That death march, is certainly not a normal kind of death march.

Well, let's just go. While walking, I asked Greed.

[Can I ask you something?]

『At a time like this? What is it?』

[Greed is one of the Mortal Sins, so you can sense if there is another Mortal Sin weapon nearby, right?]

『Yes, but there is none in Babylon other than me. Why do you ask all of a sudden? Something like this never bothered you before』
