The scene displayed in the couch window was serene—almost too much so. Sitting amidst the laughing and cheering was Rossetti, who still had her red hair tucked inside her hat. She was small only in comparison to the muscular knights around her, but she didn’t look out of place—it would be plausible to claim that she was a knight without her armor.

“So, Grato? What is with that bow earlier? It must have been expensive.”

Sitting across from Bernigi was his former subordinate and the current captain of the Order of the Beast Hunters. “The Galeforce Bow is an artificial magic bow with a medium-strength air enchantment, and it cost about as much as three greatswords.”

“And the materials?”

“Green wyvern bone for the bow and bicorn tail for the bowstring.”

“Nothing unusual there. What about the arrows?”

“Those are made from green horse bone and enchanted with wind dragon scale. The pair of arrows are joined together with mythril thread.”

“Hm. Interesting. I would never have thought to connect arrows with mythril thread.” The skybat had been cut apart, and the knights were loading its parts onto the wagon; Bernigi found himself feeling sorry for a monster that harmed humans. He dismissed the thought and recalled an old memory. “Back in the day, when we had no choice but to eat skybat, we would try to get its flavor out of our mouths by chewing whatever grass there was at hand.”

“I remember I couldn’t bear how bitter the meat was, but the grass only made things worse.” Grato grimaced as he painted the wine glasses red and then handed Bernigi one. With a “Cheers,” the two men wet their beaks; the dryness paired perfectly with further reminiscing.

“When I saw the knight hand-catching fish earlier, it reminded me of that time a lookout got attacked by two red bears.”

“Ah, yes, that was when I had just entered the Beast Hunters. We used a potion on that knight, then had him carted back to the capital. It is fortunate that he turned out fine.”

“But he never returned to the squad.”

“Likely because he was soon to marry into his wife’s family. His son is now quite the competent Beast Hunter too.”

The calmness in Grato’s tone was night and day compared to the young, cocky knight Bernigi had once known. He had become a fine, levelheaded captain. Bernigi should have been happy about that, but instead, he felt so old. “We had a knight who got carried off by a wyvern, and the only thing that we could bring back was his armor. He had fussed over naming his newborn son for half a year only to never have seen him once.”

“That did happen.”

“There was another knight who was suffocated by a marsh spider shooting silk into his mouth. We could only defeat it by burning them both.”

“I remember everything I have burned with my own hands.” The memories were too painful to have faded—his calm demeanor was belied by the way his fingernails dug into his palms.

“When I was young, we lacked even water crystals, and a man died falling into the stream trying to get a drink.
