Chapter 4 — The Second Birth, the Three Promises, and the Four Magic Tools

Roughly a month had passed, and having received a dwarf wyvern from Valentia, Zenjirou finally found himself once more teleporting to the port town.

He was wearing the now completely familiar third uniform of Capuan royalty. The only difference from the norm was the small bag on his shoulder. It was a rarity, considering any such things would usually be carried by his subordinates.

Incidentally, the people accompanying him today were Ines—whom he had sent the day before—and several of the soldiers attached to the governor’s position. He would normally also have Natalio with him, but the man was currently busy and was not present. He had already chosen the three who would be on the Glasir’s Leaf but still needed to finish picking people for the knights of Duke Bilbo.

Now that he thought about it, Zenjirou realized he had delegated almost everything to do with his personal protection to Natalio. Regretting that, he had said that the knight could abstain from the trip to the Northern Continent if he wished. However, Natalio had given a strong shake of his head and said, “I am hesitant to travel by sea, but it will be far more relaxing than remaining in the capital.”

Zenjirou didn’t quite see how it worked, but apparently, being taken on by Duke Bilbo was quite the prospect for any knight currently without a position. Therefore, Natalio’s house—the Maldonado family—had been inundated by knights and their relatives day and night. Among them were senior knights who had assisted him when he was younger, sons of his father’s friends, or even younger siblings of commanders in the great war.

In a feudal society like Capua’s, such connections were often taken into consideration when selecting personnel. If those people had a certain level of competence, it was no particular problem. The issue was that there would be an extremely small number of people chosen from that group. Even if Natalio narrowed it down to those he couldn’t afford to lose, it would still be too many. Considering the order’s future, he also needed competent comrades rather than just those with sufficient connections.

There was no end to the worries of the newly elevated commander. Regardless, that was why it was only Zenjirou and Ines currently in Valentia. The two of them, accompanied by the borrowed men, headed towards the port.

The sky and sea alike were blue as the sun shone down. As it was right in the middle of the active season, the sunlight was mild and the sea breeze was pleasantly cooling.

Eventually, they came to the jetty that the Glasir’s Leaf was anchored to. Zenjirou’s arrival had been prearranged, so the main crew was there on standby.

Freya—in her captain’s garb—stood at the front, flanked by Skaji, her vice-captain, the navigator, first officer, and so on, ending with Lucretia. Zenjirou knew she had come to Valentia to instruct them on the use of the Lulled Sea and water purification tools, but he hadn’t thought that she would be on the ship directly doing so.
