Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Progress Report Meeting

We arrived at the room that the Knight Order was borrowing.

I heard that they borrowed a room, but they actually borrowed a two story building on the castle grounds.

According to Captain-san, the Knight Order always used that building whenever they went on an expedition here.

The first floor of the building was used as a battle station by the Knight Order.

There was a hall as soon as I entered the building. There was a long table with chairs in the hall, and I could see knights talking about something while they were looking at a map.

Since everyone knew each other, the knights only raised their hand in greeting when they noticed that Captain-san and I had entered.

I followed after Captain-san, went pass the hall, and climbed the stairs at the back.

There were a lot of rooms on the second floor.

One of the rooms was used as the Captain’s office.

The office had an office desk and lounge suite, like the ones in the knight barracks at the Royal Capital.

I sat down on the lounge suite opposite Captain-san when he asked me to.

“It’s a bit sudden but I want to get to the point.”

“Okay.”

Captain-san started talking about the Knight Order’s present condition, and the results of the preliminary investigation.

The knights split up into groups and moved separately.

The groups scattered in the north, east, south and west.

They investigated the surrounding area in turns. The knights on the first floor had just returned from their investigation.

The knights were also subjugating demons as they investigated the surroundings.

According to them, there were as many demons here as there used to be in the Royal Capital.

Demon subjugation missions would begin once the investigation was over, but it would take some time to deal with the demons.

Captain-san thought the same as me.

“It would probably take some time to deal with the problem. I would like to return to the Royal Capital as soon as possible but”

“I’m fine with that. I can learn about medicinal herbs in the distillation room.”

“Really?”

Captain-san seemed apologetic, so I told him about the distillation room and he looked relieved.

Then he smiled, probably because he remembered the things we were talking about on the way here.
