"Yes, Lord Hulim—"
Derehak replied calmly.
"This is an arrangement we believe will maximize the combat capabilities of each legion."
“… …”
"Would you like to take a tour?"
“… …”
"Perhaps the soldiers will be glad to see you."
"...Then I'll trouble you to continue leading the way."
So... that's why.
... ...
Walking between the camps of the Seventh Legion.
Hulim and his group quickly attracted attention.
"That person... Could it be that—"
"Hey, look who that is!"
"No way? Could it be... me?"
Not long after, the first person plucked up the courage to come over.
"Greetings, Commander and Deputy Commander!"
That was a veteran.
In front of Hulim and others, he stood straight and gave a standard military salute.
"Hello."
Hulim responded with a smile.
Drehak then nodded slightly to the soldier.
"Go back to your work, soldier."
"yes!"
The veteran left excitedly.
Although brief, this conversation undoubtedly confirmed Hulim's identity.
"He really is our legion commander!"
"It's the Seven Star Witch—Lady Hulim!"
"Lord Hulim!"
Crowds flocked to the scene.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite normal, with those from the Imperial Army abiding by their words and deeds. However, as more and more people from outside the Imperial Army showed up, things started to get a little weird...
"Seven-Star Witch Lady, please let me follow you for the rest of my life!"
"Lord Hulim, I am your most loyal fan!"
"Ah~! So cute! Lady Hulim is truly the cutest person in the world~!"
"Please stay calm! Don't crowd, don't..."
"Lord Hulim, this is my greatest wish! Please, please shake my hand!"
"Please step back immediately! Don't try to break through—"
"Lord Hulim, please sign my name!"
"Hey, you guys! I told you to back off, didn't you hear me?!"
"Lord Hulim! Please let me be your—"
Bang!
"Asshole, what did you want to say just now? I'm going to kill you!"
"Ah~! Look at me! Lord Hulim just looked at me! Ah~! I can't take it anymore..."
Although the Blood Guards tried their best to control the situation, it was still extremely chaotic. After all, it was impossible to suppress them with force, except for a few exceptions.
The situation was not brought under control until a large number of Drehak's guards arrived at the scene to maintain order.
"I'm deeply sorry, Master Hulim, for giving you a bad experience. It was my fault for not anticipating this from someone other than a soldier. Please forgive me."
After the crowd dispersed, Derehak bowed and apologized.
"Ah, it's okay. I don't care about such things. There's no need to apologize for it."
"Thank you for your generosity... Would you like to continue?"
"Well, please continue to lead the way."
"good."
Keep moving forward.
Although people still came to greet her from time to time, the chaos was gone, and it was much easier for Hulim to deal with it.
Just then.
"Hulim—!"
A girl dressed as an imperial mage waved excitedly towards this side.
Then he trotted over.
“Eh—”
Hulim stared at the girl with wide eyes in surprise.
"Flan?!"
"I'm really glad to see you, Hulim! I'm so happy~!"
Fran spoke incoherently.
Hulim stepped forward and took her hands.
"Nice to meet you too! Hmm?"
Hulim suddenly noticed the other person's attire.
"Flan, have you joined the Imperial Army?"
"Yes! I joined the Imperial Mage Corps, which is also the ranks of the Imperial Army."
“Ahem—!”
A cough sounded from behind Fran.
"ah... ..."
The smile on Fran's face froze, revealing a terrible expression.
Hulim looked behind her.
She saw two other people who surprised her.
"And Instructor Kunon?"
Just when Hulim was surprised.
Under Kunon's intense gaze, Fran silently took two steps back.
Standing in a row with those two people.
"salute!"
With a loud shout from Kunon.
The three of them saluted in the imperial standard military salute.
"Meet the Legion Commander and Deputy Commander!"
“… …”
Hulim looked at this scene in surprise and was unable to come back to his senses for a while.
The three of them also maintained the saluting posture.
It wasn't until Drehak reminded her that Hulim finally reacted.
"That's enough! No need to salute anymore!"
After Hulim spoke, the three of them finally put down their hands.
"Hulim, I missed you so much~!"
As soon as she put down her hand, Fran rushed towards Hulim again and hugged Hulim's arm.
She was also the first person today who actually managed to get close to Hulim and make physical contact with her.
The Blood Guards did not stop this, as if they did not see it, and silently guarded the surroundings.
