Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Autonomous Cavalry Regiment - (3)

The Autonomous Cavalry Regiment chose the latter. The reason was simple, as the Hosmund Cavalry Regiment chose the former. Unlike the first waves that had the goal of reaching their destination as quickly as possible, Olivia's unit was focused on studying the movements of the Empire's forces, and naturally went on a different route.

Although Olivia has more autonomy, she is still a soldier, and cannot divert from her planned route for personal reasons.

(We were in a rut after leaving.)

Claudia sighed in her heart, and continued to explain in an attempt to convince Olivia:

“Mayor, even if we visit the capital, you will not be able to take the time and investigate. Moreover, it was not easy to visit the Royal Library. "

“... Why is that?” Olivia approached with a frown.

Claudia raised two fingers and said, “First, the paperwork to access the library took two days. You also need recommendations from credible people. This meant aristocrats, and high-ranking ones. After all, the information within the Royal Library was extremely important. "

(credible: reliable source)

"I want to enter as well, but as an ordinary person, I don't have the chance to do so."

Ashton who was beside them muttered with envy. She's nothing compared to Olivia, but she's still a book lover. The Royal Library was a special place for him. As for Olivia, Ashton's groans did not move her at all.

“But I'm already a noble, right? Why can't I go in? "

He protested with a frown.

“It's regrettable, but it's not. Being a noble is just one of the requirements to visit the library. Having a recommendation from someone who is credible is a must. "

After all, Olivia's origins are still a mystery.

When she asked Olivia about her hometown, Olivia said it was a temple deep in the woods. With the help of a map, he discovered that his location was at the western end of the continent of Dubedirica. It was commonly known as a vast forest with few settlements. From Olivia's dark eyes and silver hair, she wasn't a native of the place. According to Olivia, she was picked up and raised by someone named Z. As Olivia described her tumultuous past with a smile, Claudia could not help but be speechless.

And that is a problem, because the Royal Library does not allow entry just because you are a noble. In the end, he needed the incomprehensible nature of 'credibility', it was not something that could be obtained in a short period of time.

No matter how great her achievements were, Olivia still lacked credibility. However, Claudia could not force herself to say it bluntly.

But there are exceptions. Ashton may not know about this, but if you spend enough money, you can visit the Royal Library. For better or worse, the power of money can mask a lack of social standing. However, Claudia felt that only a handful of traders could do it.

"Claudia, can you give me a recommendation?"

Olivia looked at Claudia with eyes full of hope.

“Well, that's hard to say. The Jung clan has a storied history, but I'm not sure it will be approved."

The Jung clan can be traced back to the reign of the First King, Julius Zu Farnesse, which shows how long its history has been. In their 600 years of history, they produced many outstanding knights, and were a clan renowned for their martial prowess. The Jung Clan even taught the swordsmanship of the Royal family at their highest level.

However, they were only one of the nobles at the border right now, and could not even afford a villa in the capital. That was why Claudia could not guarantee that it would work.

“Then, whose recommendation is very sturdy?”

The expressionless Olivia leaned closer as she asked. Claudia quickly racked her brain, and the first person that came to her mind in terms of achievement, fame, and bloodline was Paul.

If Olivia asks for it, Paul will gladly act as her guarantor. However, Paul was a General and commander of the Seventh Army, so it would be unwise for him to get too involved in such personal matters.

(In this case, we have to find someone we can ask without worry, and have the caliber to be a guarantor. How could there be someone so suitable ... Wait, there is indeed one such person.)

The person Claudia had in mind was a man with bright blonde hair like him. When Claudia was young, she admired her swordsmanship as well.

“Neinhart-nii— Ahem, Brigadier General Neinhart would be a good choice. He's well connected, and two days of paperwork might even be released. "

"Brigadier General Neinhart?"

Seeing Olivia tilting her head in confusion, Claudia smiled awkwardly. The two of them had met several times, but Olivia could not remember it. Ashton knows Olivia has a great memory, but it's only on the things she's interested in.

“Do you not remember? He visited you to thank you for killing Violent Thrust Samuel."

“Violent Thrust Samuel?”

Olivia crossed her arms, unable to remember this person. Claudia began to describe Neinhart's appearance in detail, and Olivia finally opened her eyes wide: she was:

“Oh, I remember now! That human being is very bad at imitating fish!"

"Pff!"

Olivia's unexpected answer made Claudia laugh. Although he was his cousin, he felt Neinhart was very handsome. Olivia's evaluation of her being bad at imitating fish is a riot. Women who liked Neinhart might even faint on the spot.

This only applies to women who like it.

(Gosh, if I get a chance, I'll tell Neinhart-nii about this.)

Claudia smiled cunningly in her heart thinking about that. Meanwhile, Olivia muttered: “Now that you mention it, she gave me a fruit called peach”.

(He wants to avenge Florence personally ... In any case, Neinhart-nii was very grateful for what the Major did.)

Claudia understood how much Neinhart valued her relationship. If Olivia asked for her help, she would not hesitate to agree to it.

Claudia thought of Florence's gentle smile, and for the sake of making Olivia focus on her mission, she said in a serious tone:

“Mayor, if you want to ask Brigadier General Neinhart for help, then you must complete this mission properly. Otherwise, he won't agree to your request."

“Yes, you're right, Claudia! I'll work hard!!"

Olivia nodded with clenched hands. From the way she acted, Olivia's mood got better. As expected, being gloomy was no match for Olivia. The soldiers around them probably felt the same way, and all heaved a sigh of relief.

(We can finally focus on the mission now.)

Claudia sighed in relief, and Ashton praised Claudia for her good work, which made her a little happy.

two days later.

The Autonomous Cavalry Regiment reached the town of Canary.
