The Northern Grand Duke’s Crazy Son-in-Law Chapter 15

15. Fart

“The 4th Battalion Commander keeps glaring at me. Is it because I’m imagining things?”

“It’s true that you’re staring.”

“You’re obviously jealous of my good looks.”

“······The 4th Battalion Commander will think of me as someone who did something for no reason. The monster’s movements this time were a bit strange, but it’s not a problem that warrants a large-scale investigation.”

Galahad scratched his cheek in response to Gilbert’s answer.

“I don’t mind the special forces moving, but the problem is that Lady Adrianna is going with them.”

Gilbutton pointed to one side. There was a large white carriage there.

“Adrianna doesn’t make exceptions even for her own captains. If Adrianna visits, even the captain of the 4th Battalion will be nervous.”

“So you’re saying you’re going to take the general and visit the unit?”

“What are you going to do? There is a chance that nothing will come out.”

“If you don’t have any achievements, you have to create them.”

Gilbert squinted his eyes. Galahad patted him on the shoulder.

“Accomplishments are something you create.”

Then Tom, who had gone to get the carriage, came back. But his expression was not good.

“Isn’t this a cart? How am I supposed to get there on this?”

At Tom’s grumbling, Galahad examined the carriage. It was certainly smaller than the one he had ridden in before and had no windows.

but-.

“Isn’t it just a carriage?”

To Galahad, they were all the same carriages. After all, weren’t they just stupid means of transportation with wheels and horses?

“This is a natural course of action, since it is a newly established unit with no achievements or roots. If you feel wronged, you should build up achievements. Then, I will change the carriage to a bigger one.”

Gilbutton pointed to the 4th Battalion carriage. Compared to this carriage, it was certainly larger and had thicker wheels. It also had various decorations on the outside.

The soldiers, who appeared to be from the 4th Battalion, looked this way and openly laughed.

“You want to ride that? You’re going to die.”

“I see you’re not even wearing any leather. Are you freezing to death?”

Galahad’s doubts remained the same.

Whether it’s the 4th Battalion’s carriage, the 1st Battalion’s carriage, or this carriage, in the end-.

“Isn’t it just a carriage?”

To Galahad, it was just a carriage, big or small.

It was no different from making a big wooden boat and painting it and complaining about it.

“Yes, that’s true.”

“That’s right. The carriage doesn’t represent us.”

Tom with a somewhat moved expression and Gilbert looking uneasy – it seemed like they had misunderstood what he said.

What can I talk about with those idiots who don’t know magic?

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and headed towards the carriage.

‘I think a little heat and fluffiness will suffice.’

I was thinking of laying down the basic magic. The most important thing was mana.

“Why······Why?!”

“I just saw it.”

“Your eyes were weird! They were sticky!”

Gwen covered my body. She was quite quick-witted.

Gwen’s mana pool is quite large, and since she doesn’t use magic anyway, it seemed like it would be okay to use her. In the process, there was also the effect of exposing her to mana.

Galahad waved his hand with a cigarette in his mouth. He was thinking of using the principle of making magical tools.

The magic tools originally used magic stones. They were made by carving a spell and placing a concentrated magic stone in the center, which would then draw in the mana from the atmosphere and use it.

This time, Gwen was the magic stone. Of course, using a person as a magic stone was a rather difficult spell-. The caster was Galahad.

A very thin layer of air appeared at the tip of his finger. It was a magic that compressed the blade of wind. He moved it and carved a magic circle here and there.

“Gwen, you sit here.”

“Yes! This feels a bit weird! It tickles!”

“Hold on. Oh, you should never fart.”

“······I don’t normally fart! But when you say it like that, it makes me want to!”

As Gwen sat down, the magic slowly began to work.

The interior, which had been filled with cold air, quickly became warm.

“Wow… This is magic. It’s like sitting in front of a fireplace.”

“great.”

“I feel strange···. Ugh···.”

Damien just lay there, melting into the chair.

“······Tom, do you know how to hold the reins?”

Gilbert, who never usually gave up the reins, asked in a trembling voice. He seemed to want to come in because the carriage was warm.

“You can’t ride because it’s too narrow. That armor is too big.”

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly at Gilbutton’s blatant disappointment.

“If you show me respect, I’ll put you on the horse’s stables too.”

“Ah, our esteemed Captain Galahad-.”

“Good.”

When he drew a magic circle on the horse’s back, Gilbutton smiled for the first time.

“Even the knights of the north feel the cold.”

“I’m human too. This is really nice. My butt feels warm-.”

“In technical terms, it’s called a tangle.”

***

‘What the-.’

Gilbutton smirked at the warm butt. It was only a little warmer, but it made a big difference in this cold.

The world was warm with the monster skin covering it.

A girl approached from the side. It was Hartna, a woman with a white saddle on a brown horse, a classmate from the 1st Battalion.

“Oh, it suits you quite well.”

Hartna said with a mocking voice. Hartna had been particularly jealous of Gilverton for a long time. It seemed as if she had come to tease Gilverton, excited by the news that he had gone to the special forces.

If it were normal, I would have been a little annoyed, but since I was hanging out with Galahad, I didn’t even think about it that much.

“Does it suit you? That’s good.”

The bastard’s face immediately crumpled. This is how it feels. Gilverton exclaimed quietly.

“How does it feel to be dropped from the 1st Battalion to the Special Forces Unit? You were all squealing about getting into the 1st Battalion, but then you got dropped in one go?”

“It’s not a special force, it’s a special forces unit. You can’t even pronounce three letters properly. It’s still the same.”

“what?!”

Hartna shouted. Gilverton felt a strange thrill. That’s why Galahad was nagging at every word.

“Ha, you became a grumpy person after being dropped by the special forces? I guess the shock was too much?”

“I said we’re special forces.”

“Yeah! Special Forces! You’re making such a fuss over a name that I don’t even need to remember!”

Certainly, the special forces were not something that I was particularly fond of.

“Because of your stupid judgment, you end up working as a coachman in such a shabby carriage.”

‘A shabby carriage-. It certainly looks that way.’

The carriage was more comfortable now than when I drove Adrianna’s carriage. It was only a difference of warmer buttocks, but it was bigger than I thought. I had never driven a carriage this comfortable.

“Okay, this is Lady Adrianna’s order to receive your identity badge.”

Gilbert stared at the white carriage ahead.

It was true that I felt a little disappointed, but Adrianna was that kind of person.

Adrianna was a woman who placed the same standards on herself.

Rattling!

Just then, the door opened roughly.

“Oh no! Sir Gilbert! Gwen farted!”

“I told you I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!”

“Actually, I threw it away.”

Gilbert chuckled at the noisy noise coming from behind.

“Here, take it.”

Gilbert threw down his worn-out 1st Battalion identification badge.

“You’ll definitely regret it.”

Gilbert laughed out loud at Hartna’s laughter.

Regret, I always did.

***

It was a dark night. A night when the sharp wind kept knocking on the carriage.

‘hmm···.’

Galahad squinted his eyes at the strange feeling.

Gwen shook her head in surprise.

“It wasn’t me this time! I really didn’t do it!”

For a moment, I had a strange feeling. It was just a passing sensation, but I felt it clearly.

Galahad was not so stupid as to disbelieve what he felt. He kicked the carriage door in a hurry. Boom! The carriage door opened violently, revealing the scenery outside.

The surroundings were a forest filled with white. Tall, dry trees passed by quickly. Cold air rushed in in an instant.

“Did Gwen fart again?!”

“······I didn’t do it! Really!”

Galahad narrowed his eyes and reached out with his other hand, holding onto the carriage door. The wind was so cold that his hand almost froze.

It was a dark forest with so many trees that you couldn’t see inside. It was as if a monster was hiding there.

Galahad flicked his fingers. Small fires burst out one after another, creating a large blaze. The blaze grew larger and pushed away the darkness.

Then what you see is-.

“It’s a monster.”

They were red-eyed wolves.

Galahad threw a fireball without hesitation. The wolf caught the fireball just before it could hit him.

‘Catch me?’

Galahad realized the source of the discomfort.

‘The wolf walks on two legs.’

It was so natural that I wondered if wolves actually walked on two legs.

“It’s an attack!!”

A long cheer erupted.

“What… what is it!”

“You, your fart smells like it’s attracting wolves. That’s why I told you not to fart.”

“···Huh?! I’m sorry! I told you not to······!”

Instead of answering, Galahad moved his finger. The fire blazed again. It was faster than before. The corners of Galahad’s mouth went up. It had become stronger.

“It’s a two-legged wolf! It’s weak to fire! It’s a bastard that chews on people’s heads, so watch out for its head!”

Tom shouted as he took out his shield. Damien appeared next to Tom. He looked just like a puppy about to go for a walk.

“Bad monsters are waiting! Shall we go?”

“great.”

Galahad grabbed Damian’s back and threw him outside. Gwen let out a long scream. Damian flew away and rolled on the ground. Knock! The wolf that had been opening its mouth toward Damian was torn apart. Damian came out laughing.

“Every time I see it, I am amazed at your skills! Sir Gilbert!”

“Yes! I’m safe!”

Gilverton held the reins with one hand and swung his sword with the other. The wolves were easily torn apart by the brilliant aura.

“No! Put the leather aside!”

“yes?!”

“Get some leather! I need to make a coat! Hey, Tom! Do you know how to make a coat?”

“Huh? What do you think of me! Of course I can make it!”

“Good! Gwen, don’t leave your chair! There’s a barrier spell there too!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Gwen shouted, putting her hands on the ceiling and pushing off the floor.

Galahad laughed and grabbed the roof of the carriage. He grabbed him and kicked him on the floor, and in an instant the world turned upside down.

Thump! Galahad, who was standing on the ceiling at once, unbuttoned his coat and shook his hands.

“Is that a great feat?”

“Hey, there’s one behind you.”

“I know.”

Gilbert answered lightly and swung his sword crookedly. The wolf that was rushing toward the blue straight line split apart.

Wolves were rushing from all sides, and the knights and soldiers reacted quite well. It seemed like something that happened more often than I thought.

Then a bright light burst out from behind.

The wolf corpses floated into the air. There was no blood anywhere. They looked like dried corpses.

In the middle of it all was Adrianna.

Adrian, whose whole body was bathed in a brilliant light, looked like a god descending from the sky.

Adrianna drew her sword quietly.

A long line was drawn in the air.

For a moment, I felt as if I had cut through space.

‘You burned mana with a sword-.’

How is that possible?

Galahad couldn’t believe his eyes.

The demon didn’t even touch Adrianna.

No, I couldn’t even stand in front of it.

It was just one slash of the sword. The wolves crumbled along the line drawn by it.

‘What a ridiculous force.’

It was a move that showed that the Demon King’s greatest adversary was her.

There wasn’t even a hint of effort on his face. It felt like he was just swinging his sword lightly.

I was originally curious as to how the North was able to fend off the demons, but now that has changed.

‘How was the monster holding Adrianna back?’

It was that much of a waste of time.

‘I have no idea what it is.’

Galahad, who habitually imagined how he would kill Adrianna, clicked his tongue slightly. No matter what method he used, the calculations did not work out.

She was the natural enemy of everything that possessed mana.

Those indifferent eyes showed no emotion.

The wolf attack ended with just two sword strikes.

Everyone was cleaning up as if nothing had happened.

‘It’s a rough place.’

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly as he wiped the blood from his face.

“Two-legged wolves, they appear whenever you’re bored. Their fur is quite warm, so it’s the most popular skin for coats.”

Gilbert explained, shaking off the bloody sword. In contrast to Gilbert’s clean appearance, Damien was red as if he had been covered in blood.

‘As soon as I got a subtle feeling, it was a monster attack-.’

Galahad snapped his fingers and created arrows of mana, a magic used to measure concentration.

I carried him and headed towards the direction I had felt uncomfortable in earlier. The mana arrow shook slightly and then became smaller.

‘The mana concentration is higher here than anywhere else.’

Of course, there would be differences in mana concentration, but there would be no way the difference would be so noticeable in the same place.

‘There’s something here.’

The corners of Galahad’s mouth went up.

“I guess I should go this way.”

“The road is over there.”

“I am a pioneer. Follow me.”

“There will be strong backlash.”

Gilbert pointed to the rear. Men from the 1st and 4th Battalions were preparing to board the carriage.

If I wanted to go in the direction Galahad was pointing, I had to abandon the carriage and move. There was no way I would follow along.

“Doesn’t it matter? Our boss is His Majesty the Archduke.”

Gilbert chuckled. He seemed to think he was joking.

Galahad approached Adrianna, hiding his trembling hands behind his back. Adrianna sat still, her eyes closed.

Are you replaying the battle? That perfect fight you just had? Galahad stuck out his tongue.

“What’s going on?”

Adrianna asked in a nonchalant voice.

“There’s something over there.”

“Are you talking about that side?”

“The mana concentration is high. High mana concentration means there’s something artificial there. And-. Could you lend me the map for a moment? Thank you.”

Galahad borrowed the map from the knight next to Adrianna and unfolded it.

“We should be here by now.”

“How did you know?”

“I have a map in my head.”

The knight next to Adrianna snickered. He seemed to think she was joking.

“The watchtowers that the monsters attacked are here, here, here, and here. But the watchtower in the middle is intact. Don’t you think that’s strange?”

“That’s strange.”

“Even if we go to the collapsed watchtower, there’s nothing to gain since they’re already in the process of repairing it. There’s definitely something more to be gained by going this way.”

“There is no road over there, so you can’t go by carriage. You’ll have to walk for half a day.”

The knight next to Adrianna intervened again. She was a beautiful woman with a gentle expression. The woman whose eyes met hers nodded.

“That’s a reasonable opinion.”

Adrianna nodded.

“That direction is opposite to where the monsters attacked. If you go there, you’ll just be wasting time. Isn’t that different from the original plan?”

At that moment, the 4th Battalion Captain approached. His body was covered in red blood. Galahad analyzed the traces of the man. He liked stabbing people.

Adrianna nodded again this time.

“The Special Forces Captain’s opinion is a pretty plausible reasoning, but it’s not enough to change the plan. Since it was a wizard’s reasoning, I apologize for the part that I don’t understand. However, the battalion’s troop management authority is with each captain, so if you want to go, I can’t stop you. We will investigate the collapsed watchtower as planned. After that, we will join you.”

Adrianna’s judgment was as expected.

Galahad originally wanted to move separately. If he went with Adrianna, all the credit would go to that splendid woman.

But the reason I told Adrianna was because of the support I mentioned later. If there was something that bothered her, Adrianna wouldn’t just let it go. She would definitely come back.

If we ever encounter a formidable enemy, we plan to wait for Adrianna.

The agent always had a way of digging two holes.

“Huh-. A special forces unit? They’re going to have a hard time because they have an idiot captain.”

The 4th Battalion Captain, unaware of the situation, snorted and laughed. He seemed to think that Adrianna was taking his side.

Unfortunately, she didn’t take any sides.

I just made a judgment.

The cleanup was a snap. Before I knew it, they were the only ones left.

Galahad looked around the crowd quietly.

Damien sticking his tongue out and licking the blood around his lips, Tom with a very tense look on his face, Gilbert with a relaxed expression, and Gwen with a serious look while holding a mop and broom.

How could it be this messy?

“Everyone move.”

Galahad smiled faintly.

“······I’m sorry! I just got a little carried away!! I didn’t know a wolf would come!”

Gwen apologized hastily.

***

“Hey, Carl! Who’s coming!”

“Who would come to a place like this? Hurry up and get to work! It’s almost over!”

“No, they’re really coming?! There are 5 of them!”

“Five people?! It’s not good to get caught up in something when work is almost over.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Kill him, you little shit!”
