Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Autonomous Cavalry Regiment - (2)

“... After you finish eating, let's prepare more variety of food next time. You'll reach your growth spurt."

"What is growth spurt?"

“Simply put, your bones and physique will grow bigger. If you are picky about food, it will affect your growth. You must not only eat meat, you must also eat vegetables."

“Ehehe, I understand. You really know a lot, Z! ”

In response to the girl's innocent smile, Z thought about the moments she spent with him and looked up at the stars.

“Yeah, my insignificant existence has survived in purgatory all this time.”.

“—— It's morning, yes..”

He turned to the open window, and the sun shone in his eyes. The wind scented with green grass stroked the soft cheeks of Olivia.

（I think I overslept. By the way, it has been a long time since I dreamed about my childhood. I wonder what Z is doing now. I want to find Z.） soon

As she thought about it, Olivia grabbed the silver pocket watch near her pillow. He opened it, and realized it was 9 a.m. Breakfast was done, so there was no point in using Fleet Foot Dash to rush into the dining hall.

（Ahh. I missed breakfast ... Never mind, I'll have Ashton make me some mustard bread. I want ten!）

Olivia jumped out of bed, then put one leg perpendicular to the wall, before stretching her body. Moments later Claudia asked in an exasperated voice: “Major, are you still sleeping?” when he knocks.

Olivia quickly put on the uniform hanging on the wall and opened the door. He finally remembered that they were going to depart for Fortress City Emreed today.

two hours later, Training Field

The expedition to Fort Emreed City immediately began, and the soldiers gathered at the training ground. As Claudia arranged the troops into four rows with sweat on her brows, beside her was ...

“Tuan Ants ~ and Mr Ants. Fight ~ ”

Olivia hummed and played cheerfully with the ants. Not only that, she muttered something dangerous: “It's been a long time, should I try to eat it ~” Claudia was worried Olivia would actually eat the ants, and hurriedly called out to her:

“Major, stop playing with ants. Preparation is done, please deliver his speech.”

“Ya, understand.”

Olivia cleaned her hands, and walked quickly to the podium at Claudia's insistence. Previously he was a soldier from a former detachment unit, and had recently recruited soldiers.

This was a powerful newly formed Autonomous Cavalry Regiment of 3,000 people. Unlike the regular Cavalry Regiment, the Commander of the Olivia Regiment was granted more autonomy. This is Paul's way of showing how much he appreciates (indulges) Olivia.

The former detachment squad waited for Olivia to speak with a serious face. On the other hand, these recruits reacted mostly in two ways when they saw it.

“This is the first time I've seen such beauty. Is he really human like us?”

Some are fascinated, while others…

“That little girl is the Regiment Commander? Do we really put our lives in his hands? ”

Staring at Olivia with a doubtful look.

（There will be some complaints for this. A young girl leading the regiment was completely unheard of. Well, they will understand after seeing him on the battlefield.）

At the thought of Olivia's bravery on the battlefield, Claudia said loudly:

“Next, Regiment Commander Olivia will say a few words! Attention!"

All eyes were on Olivia on the podium. Olivia cleared her throat, then placed her hands on her hips:

With that, Olivia turned around and left the stage by jumping up and down. Ashton who was beside the podium covered his face in despair. Most of the new soldiers looked lost and agape.

Guile then shouted: "I am moved! Commander Olivia's words were so touching! As expected of the silver-haired Valkyrie!”

Claudia quickly rushed onto the stage and shouted:

“S-Actually, what Commander of the Olivia Regiment meant was that we would make a plan for everyone to survive, so don't worry and focus on the battle! Autonomous Cavalry Regiment, get ready to get out! "

On Claudia's orders, those who were once from the detachment unit were riding their warhorses. When they saw that, a confused new army came out from it and started moving.

Olivia stroked her dark horse gently, and left gallantly. The black horse wagged its tail and neighed happily.

“—Major, the preparation is done. Please give the order to move. "

Claudia approached and reminded Olivia, who then raised her fists high up:

"Alright, let's head to Fortress City Emreed. Move ~ Out ~! ”

At the same time, the trumpet that signaled the unit to advance exploded in midair.

Olivia's Autonomous Cavalry Regiment begins their journey towards Fortress City Emreed.

******

The Autonomous Cavalry Regiment headed north from Fort Gaul, towards their first street point, the town of Canary. The weather was clear, and with Mount Est in the distance, a wide variety of flowers bloomed. A gentle breeze swept through the grass under the hooves of the horses, and Claudia could smell a fragrant scent in the air. In two weeks, the flowers will bloom perfectly.

“Mayor, please look to the right. It's getting warmer around here, and the flowers are starting to bloom. "

“…………”

"Major, can you hear me?"

“…………”

No matter what Claudia said, Olivia did not respond, and simply combed the mane of her dark horse with a frown.

“Sigh... Major, it's time for you to stop throwing tantrums. It will affect the morale of the army. "

“... Can we stop by the capital on the way to Emreed?”

"As I said, no."

Claudia rejected him, and Olivia turned her face away with flared cheeks. For some reason, his dark horse also looked towards them with reluctant eyes. Claudia felt so uncomfortable that she thought of leaving, which showed how hateful her eyes were.

“Olivia, I'll make you your favorite mustard jerky bun during our next break, so don't get too angry, okay?”

Ashton comes forward and offers high-quality bait to please Olivia. Olivia's body reacted a little, but her head was still facing the other direction. Even the special mustard sauce can't move him.

[- Can we stay in the capital for one night tomorrow? ]

On the way to Fortress City Emreed, Olivia was so excited that she got the chance to go to the capital. However, a one-day visit to the capital was denied, and Olivia showed her obvious displeasure for everyone to see.

There are two very different routes from Fort Gaul to Fortress City Emreed. The first would take them through the capital to the west, the other would pass through the city of Canary and ascend through the desert before turning east.
