Chapter 23

Request for Rescue

โ€œMartina, itโ€™s all thanks to you!โ€

Leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Roland flashed a bright smile and gave Martina a friendly pat on the shoulder.

โ€œIโ€™m glad I could be of help,โ€ she replied.

โ€œYeah, this time you really did well. Your memory is incredible. Well, itโ€™s not just your memory, but your ability to effectively apply that memory is impressive.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆDo you really think so?โ€

โ€œI do. Even if you remember everything, itโ€™s useless if you donโ€™t know how to use it. โ€ฆAlright, letโ€™s head to the Ministry of Finance next.โ€

With those words, Roland walked off with enthusiasm. Martina watched his back for a moment, then smiled happily before running to catch up with him.

Thanks to their success in reducing the budget in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Martina and Roland were able to secure the necessary budget without any major issues from the Ministry of Finance. They returned to the Political Affairs Department with light steps.

Having finished their work earlier than expected, they began discussing which tasks to move forward with in the remaining time. But when they opened the door to the Political Affairs Department, they were met with an unexpected scene of chaos.

โ€œWhatโ€™s going on? Something happened?โ€

Many clerks were running around the room, voices and papers flying everywhere. As they stepped inside, confused, a nearby male clerk stood up suddenly upon seeing Martina.

โ€œAh, Martinaโ€™s back!โ€

โ€œYou finally arrived! We were about to call for you!โ€

โ€œMinisterโ€ฆ what happened?โ€

Martina asked, turning to the Minister, who handed her a piece of paper.

It contained disturbing informationโ€”about a request for aid from the Cadour Countโ€™s territory.

โ€œโ€ฆCould this be related to the miasma pool?โ€ Martina asked with a furrowed brow, her voice quiet.

The Minister nodded gravely. โ€œYes, it seems highly likely. An unimaginable number of monsters have poured out of the forest, and one town has already been taken over. Theyโ€™re considering sending the Second Knight Order, and since youโ€™re familiar with the situation, theyโ€™ve decided to dispatch you as well. Also, knights from the First Knight Order, who usually operate in the royal territory, are being sent because they understand your abilities. There will also be eight light mages sent, although fewer than last time. And since this is an emergency expedition, Roland will accompany you to coordinate with other departments.โ€

After hearing the Ministerโ€™s explanation, both Martina and Roland stared at the letter from the King with serious expressions.

โ€œTheyโ€™re dispatching us tomorrowโ€ฆ thatโ€™s fast,โ€ Roland remarked.

โ€œYes, so I need you to prepare immediately. The Cadour territory is three days away by horse. Youโ€™ll be riding with the knights, so make sure you rest well to avoid exhaustion,โ€ the Minister said.

โ€œUnderstood.โ€

โ€œWeโ€™ll start preparing right away.โ€

As they nodded and began to move, a man approached from the back of the room.

โ€œMinister! Let me go to the site too!โ€

It was Sylvan , a colleague of Martinaโ€™s.

โ€œAh, youโ€™re from the Cadour family, right?โ€

โ€œYes. I should go, it would make things smoother on the ground!โ€

โ€œYou have a pointโ€ฆ alright. Iโ€™ll let them know and include you in the team. Prepare yourself.โ€

โ€œThank you! I will!โ€

Sylvan  smiled and nodded at the Minister before turning to Martina, glaring at her with sharp eyes.

โ€œDonโ€™t get in my way.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆIโ€™ll do my best to be helpful.โ€

โ€œSylvan , if you cause trouble, Iโ€™ll refuse to let you come along,โ€ Roland warned.

โ€œMy apologies, I wonโ€™t,โ€ Sylvan  said, bowing his head before quickly turning and heading back into the depths of the Political Affairs Department, leaving the two behind.


The next morning, a group of knights gathered outside the royal palace gates, including Martina, Roland, Sylvan , and the eight light mages.

โ€œMartina, come over here. You too,โ€ called Lambert, who greeted them with a friendly morning.

As they approached him, Lambert introduced two members of the First Knight Order. Martina would ride with Lambert, while Roland and Sylvan  would travel with the other two knights to the destination.

โ€œI apologize for any trouble I might cause. Please take care of things while weโ€™re there,โ€ Martina said.

โ€œNo problem, Iโ€™m counting on you. Especially your knowledge, it will be useful at every stop,โ€ Lambert replied.

โ€œYes, Iโ€™ll do my best. By the way, do we know what kind of monsters weโ€™ll be facing?โ€

โ€œNot exactly. The report said they were ant-type monsters, but there were also many monsters with unfamiliar colors, so no specific species were reported.โ€

โ€œUnfamiliar colors? That sounds like monsters that donโ€™t belong in these forestsโ€ฆ It could be desert-dwelling ant-type monsters, or swamp-dwelling ones. Or maybe even aquatic ones,โ€ Martina mused.

โ€œIโ€™ll let you know their weaknesses and attack patterns once we see them in person,โ€ she added.

โ€œGood. โ€ฆMartina, do you think this aid request is caused by a miasma pool?โ€

โ€œYes, I believe so. After hearing about the unfamiliar monsters, Iโ€™m more convinced itโ€™s a miasma pool.โ€

โ€œI thought so. Letโ€™s head to the site assuming itโ€™s a miasma pool.โ€

Martina nodded in agreement, and just as everyone finished their preparations, the leader of the Second Knight Order gave the signal to depart.

Martina, a girl with a deep love for books, finished reading every single book in the public library and set her sights on the royal library, hoping to explore its vast, unseen collection. Though it's rare for commoners to pass the challenging civil service exam, Martina succeeded thanks to her extraordinary memory, which allows her to recall every word sheโ€™s read. As a result, she became one of the few commoners in years to join the ranks of government officials. However, as most officials are nobles, Martina faces unreasonable discrimination due to her status. Undeterred, she makes full use of her remarkable memory and steadily gains recognition in her role. Gradually, Martinaโ€™s work begins to impact the nation, ultimately leading her to achievements that could save the country.
