─ ─ ─ Concon

The knocked door was not a mediocre wooden door, but a door where fine wood was used that was a turn larger than normal.

-Who?

Besides, from inside the room, such a clear voice responded.

Master, it's me.

Oh, shun. Come on in.

"Excuse me."

When I twisted the door knob open, there was Alicia, a red-haired woman with stretched back, who had been doing clerical work before.

After stretching her back, Alicia says "Welcome" to Shun, smiling and welcoming her in.

─ ─ ─ ─ Ryuji and the others, who had tied up their classes for so long, were punished by Sun's activism, and from now on everyone who was released from that curse rejoiced in it and took dinner at a tension close to the party.

Almost everyone thanked Jun, and the fact that he was cheeky with a lot of meat in the light became a laughingstock, and the atmosphere of the class reached its climax, and everyone and himself, who was guilty and subtle sense of distance, felt shrunk at once at this moment, Jun finished his dinner with joy.

Now, as Jun told Alicia, after bathing, he is visiting the captain's office at the headquarters of "Kingsguard Magic Swordsmen".

"...... you don't seem to be finished yet"

And, on the edge of a desk dedicated to Alicia, Sun smiles bitterly as he sidelines a lot of piles of material.

"Well...... I hear a lot of bandits that have been lurking around the King's City for the whole month that Shun and I have been training have been active...... anyway, there are a lot of reports"

"Heh...... that's tough"

"Right. Our unit is a Kingsguard whose primary mission is to protect this castle and His Majesty, but we have a real unit that works externally and beats the cause sooner than any other unit. I'm the captain of both the Kingsguard and the Separate Moves, so that's what the report from the Kingsguard says about what happened externally from the Separate Moves and how to deal with it... in such quantities. And it's all by hand, not magic. I need to see the details in order to meet the hard work of my men, so... it's gonna take a while."

Jun nodded emotionally and reacted to the sighing Alicia.

"Master Boulder...... It's more serious than you can imagine from a battle gesture like a fancy mad warrior......"

"...... I'll try not to ask you if you're complimenting me or dropping me at this time, but I'll honestly just take the compliment 'serious'"

To such a sunny word, Alicia chuckles with her jitsy eyes as she stands up from her chair and walks to Sun.

"So... you could make me apologize safely?

When she reached out, she approached the distance she was likely to reach, and Alicia put her hips in her hand and asked.

"Yes, I made a few threats, but I apologized in front of everyone."

"... a little... hey?

And Alicia, who I'm going to see with a strange look.

"What is that face... really a little bit, eh?

Yes. All I did was make him unable to walk or speak up, which must have been a very modest and gentle threat!

I groan and groan at the invincible laughter I take care of.

"Well, to be honest, I don't think anyone cares how a bastard like Luzi was threatened."

"Wow, wow."

"...... hey, you definitely don't think that, do you? A voice with no emotions?

"Hehe...... right.... and now we're going to say goodbye to them forever."

"Oh, maybe you miss me?

To Alicia, who is obviously making fun of me, after answering appropriately, "Yeah, I'm rushing -"

"So, what's the story?

And, switch.

"...... yeah"

Alicia nodded at Sun's words, walking to the side of the window and slowly hearing herself illuminate her face in the moonlight.

"Hey, Shun. Where are you gonna go at first when you're done with your training?

"Huh? Where are you?...... Uh-huh. I haven't decided yet, but you won't be out of The Grand Bell Kingdom soon. I'm going to get some experience in this country, then I'm going to go out of the country and look for the sword. So if I were to go first, maybe I'd go to a suburban village or city."

......

Alicia glances because she didn't anticipate such a good word.

"... Master? What's the matter, sir?

Did I say something weird?

So worried, Jun tilts his neck.

"...... shun. I thought I was going from this country to another because I knew it was about you."

"What exactly does that mean about you? Are you kidding me, even if I'm such an early guy?

"...... yeah," Alicia shook her head to Jun, who replied bitterly.

"Not sooner or later... you see, when I was teaching you the knowledge of this world during a month of combat training, I always heard Shun. I thought he was going to poke around everywhere he was interested."

"Oh, sure. You've been aware since my family started telling me that you have the only stunt from a long time that is to exert extreme concentration about what interests you, too. I couldn't concentrate on things I wasn't interested in for that matter."

And I grin bitterly as I scratch my cheeks with my fingers.

Especially fashion... or clothes, so it's the same, right? You know, you were based on the idea that anything would be good if it was discreet......

"...... yes. Don't worry if Shun is aware of his personality. Whatever it is, stop transferring it to action because you're interested. Something I wish I didn't know, something that would do me harm if I did... there are so many of them in the world. Well, and it has nothing to do with going to another country right away. I couldn't help but tell you if Shun was interested in another country."

"Huh? Well, what if I said I was going to another country...?"

"Nothing. I won't stop it. I just can't recommend it. The journey is really harsh. If you go to another country, you have to follow the lessons of that country... and travelers may be restricted in their actions in this day and age. With the outbreak of an all-out war between coexistence and domination, we are in an unprecedented state of tension. We have alliances, but every country keeps its back with another country, so we're really sensitive to the movements of the other countries behind us. This is my guess, but I'm sure countries are sending operatives to each other to find out what's going on in that country, and because of that, they're restricting the movement of travelers coming from outside....... so it would be healthier not to leave this country immediately, but to see a little bit of the world situation and then go to another country."

"Cheng Cheng...... I mean, you think it's better to settle down a little and then leave this country because of the interference from the country by travelers and sometimes the danger?

"Right. But Sun will be here for a while after training, won't he?

"...... Yes. I think we can still learn a lot about this world in this country. There are also magic schools that bring students from all over the world... and..."

Jun said this, gently rubbing the pattern of the long sword that was resting on his hips.

"─ ─ Because I'm still immature… I want to stay as far as I can beside my master so I can be strong and steal as much skill from him as I can from him."

......

Alicia glanced at the words, but smiled satisfactorily after a few moments.

"...... yes"

Beside me as much as I can......

My heart has been a little exalted by Jun's words, but I have to show some room for adults here.

So determined, chewing on the joy, but without putting it on your face.

"You can't help it... I'll let you stay by my side. But I'll spare you more than ever, so be prepared."

and meditate on one eye, with his arms together.

"Yes! Regards, Master!

"─ But!

When you two are smiling blossoms, they accidentally stick their fingers out of Alicia.

"Shun, this is all I can correct for what you said about the immature."

"...... eh?

"You're already a fine dark night, aren't you?

"Hey, hey, please stay put....... Huh? I'm already a fine dark knight?

"That's what I was thinking, right?...... I can be sure that Jun has worked harder than anyone else in the metastasis this past month"

"Hmm? What......? Am I...? Maasa ~...... That's not true! The best part is Yu Zhen. What a 5 for swordsmanship proficiency! How much effort does it take even to reach proficiency 5...... I still think Yuzhen, who has reached 5 in just one month, has worked harder than anyone else, right?

─ ─ ─ Proficiency is simply the LV of skills.

When a skill is exercised, a small amount of experience is accumulated, and by using the skill, the user's body becomes accustomed to the skill.

Over time, the upper limit of experience, which was trace, is reached so that if dust is also accumulated, it becomes a mountain.

And when that cap is reached, if the body is able to adapt to that skill to some extent, the skill proficiency will be elevated from 1 to 2 for the first time there.

This is the same thing with the overall status LV, which increases the LV by gaining combat experience.

If a skill is elevated, the quality of the skill itself can be improved and the number and time it can be exercised can be increased.

Because the upper limit is low at first, it is possible to raise it easily, but as proficiency increases, that upper limit doubles, so suddenly it does not mean LV100 or skill proficiency 10......

LV and proficiency are not that easy.

However, at an unusual early age of one month, Jun questioned how much Yuzhen, who had increased his swordsmanship proficiency to 5, had come to face with the sword's orientation.

Have you been doing that much dense exercise one day at a time?

No...... Youzhen's master is the strongest Earthrell regiment in that kingdom. I guess I was good at teaching......

With that in mind, Alicia has said this, still looking out the window.

"Sure, if you look only at the results, you can say Yuma Asano worked the hardest...... but shun. What is your mastery of swordsmanship now?

"Huh? 4 but......"

"Surely Yuma Asano's unique skills had something called [the memory of a swordsman], right?

"...... oh. Sure."

I do think there was......

"In a period of one month, I was able to reach 5 at an unusual rate because of the benefits of my skills."

"Oh, is that right?...... No, even if it did, what would it be?

"Yes, you're absolutely right. But could you think about it for a second?

"Yes?"

"Yuma Asano reached 5 in a month with grace or you reached 4 in a month with no grace or anything...... which do you think worked hard?

"...... Ah"

"You said earlier that the hardest person was Yuma Asano. But on the whole, everyone's gonna snort that you're the hardest at it. No, I'll be the first to admit it, even if nobody acknowledged Shun's 'efforts'....... what I've been watching you grow by the way"

"So, but... I've always been mad at my master, haven't I?"

"That's right. But it's true that you've only grown mad at me. Let me put it from my point of view at the moment, you're the one with the highest overall strength among the metastasizers, Shun."

"...... Ugh, no"

"The power of the profession Dark Knight has something to do with it, but without it, it must be you. When I first saw your talent, I honestly thought you had no stretch......"

"Mmmm......"

Sure...... You were honestly dark ahead when all your talent was 100 Zorro eyes......

To the words from Alicia, I dig past memories and laugh bitterly at Jun.

"But that prediction was overshadowed."

Glad to say so with a slightly bounced voice, Alicia twirled and rotated her body, which was pointing out the window, arms behind her as she turned to Jun.

The expression is warm, and gentle.

I'm making you smile full of charity.

"Shun, you are the greatest disciple of all time, whether you look at it competently or as a person"

Jun, who said so, seemed honestly pleased.

"Oh yeah......? Are you sure you want me to say that to such an asshole? The disciples of my master's history must be pissed off, too, right?

But it is prudent not to thank you honestly.

"...... yes, right"

but I looked at Alicia's face unexpectedly and she had a lonely look on her face somewhere.

"...? Master?

"Ah...... no...... I was just remembering. About the kids who quit my apprentice on the way."

"...... could that be"

"Yes. It was too harsh. The training I made those kids do......"

"Ha-ha...... but even assholes like this, they followed me in my master's training, so I was an extra penis"

"As, well... because he was indeed the son of a nobleman"

"Ahhh! I knew it! There's a lot of nobles out there that aren't even really royal! I guess there's a villain's warrant or something -...... there's still not a majority of nobles like the Duke of Bolls? Would it be time for the nobles to do something about the temple called the bad guy......?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? So, what do you mean," hump "?

"...... ah"

I put a secret thought in my heart in my mouth......

"Yes, no! Sorry! I was wrong!

"...... well, yes. Well, let's get back to it, but the bottom line is that Shun now has so much to stretch out that he doesn't even need a favor."

"You're really right...... maybe it's me, the protagonist correction......"

"Mmm......? What the hell is wrong with you?

"...... ah"

Modern Japanese is out again......

"Haha...... no, it's nothing. Keep going."

"......? Well good. Ha...... then go on, but what do you think Shun has to stretch for?

"Hmmm...... stretch it......"

Normally, that's a common growth cheat skill in summonses......

I think so and take the paper with my status out of my pocket.

"You don't have it in your skills......"

Then what is it? Physique? No, a growing physique means growing up. Not in shape...... Yikes!

He said he had his head in his heart.

"─ ─ ─ Ugh... No, no, no, no, no."

And when did she come close, Alicia pokes a ton of Sun's forehead with her own fingers as she swells her cheeks like that.

"Want."

All of a sudden, I'm surprised and I say so.

No, it doesn't hurt. It's just ticklish.

And ask yourself like an idiot.

"Good? You have to grow up because you're good with your profession."

"Huh? Isn't that what we have in common with everyone who's been told to be a proper job?

"That's right. But among other things, it stands out and is compatible. Originally, vocations, skills, and magic are manifested in the lower realm from the power of God and the spirits who serve him. So, being compatible with the profession means being compatible with God and the Spirits. I mean, they lend more power to us than they do to us."

......

Me... No way the protagonist correction...

"I think maybe it's because of the growth power. It is true that God, who manifests the profession of Dark Knight, is said to be the Evil God Isis. Because of this, Edda, the goddess, is showing a pair of Holly Nights. Both are goddesses who can twist down the goddess with their power, the only goddesses among the top seven gods in heaven: the High Seven."

"Oh, horrible...... or is Holly Knight and Dark Knight a prominent profession from all over the world after all? I even know the name of the god who made it manifest."

"Right. On the human side, second, is Holly Knight famous as a profession? Dark knights are the best way to put it."

"Ha......"

The most famous profession on the Devil's side means that a human has become a profession that everyone wants to become... this is definitely a pattern of Devil attacking me with resentment that says' I was supposed to be the Dark Knight '......

"Well, the...... haha"

Alicia laughs bitterly if she understands the heart of the discouraged Jun.

"...... Then what is the most famous profession on the human side?

and shifted the subject so as to shake off the depressed mood.

"That must be brave, after all."

"Oh, was that a woman's tentative beginning profession?"

Yes, yes, Chelem. Chelem. Meet Choroin and the Brave... ”Yep, yep, yep!

And Alicia, who thinks she denies having such a bitter look on her face, and is subtly lost in Sun's words.

"Hmmm...... I'd like to deny it but you can't deny it......"

"I wonder what it is......" and apparently Alicia has met brave men in the past.

"Please make up your mind about that already." You cheerem! Give us some more girls! 'and "

"I don't know the word Chi La, but you did pity the boys around you...... because all the cute kids are being taken by that woman......"

"Huh? Could the master still be in school?

"No, I went to school about three times as a guest before Shun and the others came this year. At first, I couldn't hide my surprise that the student chairman of the current school was just a brave man, but the biggest surprise was that all the daughters of the three dukes of the four nobles, other than Master Luria, loved him enough to fight over the brave men."

"Wow...... hurry n ─ ─ gehun gehun. In the meantime, I hope you don't mind!

"That's not all. From all kinds of noble daughters."

"Wow...... quick s ─ ─ gehun gehun. Kind of that one, huh? I hope you don't take any more."

"Right...... Luckily, Master Riel and Master Luria seem to be safe"

"Fortunately...... does that mean the master is talking about the brave?

"I hate it. Such a guy. How dare you tabbed a girl so old in 17 minutes... I guess I'll crush her before Master Luria can say anything under the item of instruction once."

"Then let's pour out all the power already! The biggest enemy wasn't the Demon King, he was the Demon King of the Night!

"...... Huh!?

To the words, Alicia dyes her cheeks red at once and says, "Well, hey...... keep it up at night......" and is shy so that she is not immune to this sort of thing, or even more.

"...... oh"

Cute...... too cute. Usually an adult master is now blushing like a pure heart girl! Is this the guy named Gap......

"...... hey, what the heck! What do you admire?

"No? My master is really not immune to these things......"

With an invincible laugh, Hmm and a snort, Alicia said, "Ugh!," he exclaims desperately.

"So? As far as previous masters are concerned... you're saying I have to grow because my profession is compatible, right?

That way, when I turn back quickly, I get a glimpse of Jun's bad character.

"Huh......"

"... Master?

Still staring at Jun with his cheeks red, but the person at the time said, "E? I tilt my neck with a dumb look," I said.

Maybe I'll get a little serious later on during a mock fight......?

Determined to release the feelings so frustrating at a later date, Alicia now took the feelings to the back and made the conversation a priority.

"... right. So you will continue to want to grow faster than normal people."

"The journey. Thank you, Professor."

So you mean approved growth cheats......

"Thank you, then, for calling me by name from now on."

"No. I'm ashamed. My master is coming."

"Then stop saluting."

"It's getting harder, isn't it? I can't do that."

"So you're going to die?

"...... erm, isn't that a little too much jumping over? Why do you have to be killed?

"Is that right? Because it's Shun."

"It's not a reason, is it? No, seriously."

Brilliant with a giraffe and a creepy smile, he gradually approaches Shun.

"Hey, please stop!

"Do you want to call me by name, then?

"Oh yeah......!"

No, I don't have time to get lost. Sandback like this!

"Okay! I get it!

......

So I pause for pittance and squeal small.

"...... really?

"It's true!

"...... really?

"I mean it!

"I don't lie......?"

"Seriously!

"Then call me? Here and now."

"Eh...... no. Still ready..."

- Hurry up.

Ku......

If you were to suddenly call by name from a nickname you're used to calling, anyone would be more shy than weirdly nervous.

"...... Ah,...... Oh, Arisha-san"

When I said so, Alicia urged me to call her, but as before, she dyed her cheeks red and opened her eyes more than that.

............

"Well, if you're such an embarrassment, why make me call you! I'm pretty embarrassed too!

"Yes, do it... this is... yes, no. This is good! This, keep calling me that! Ok!?

"Yep......! I don't care if they say it with a bright red face like that......"

"Ugh! I'll get back to you when I know! Reply is reply!

"Heh, reply!

"No! I didn't tell you to reply! I said get back to me!

"Gu......"

to, I can't escape...... I have no choice but to respond to this anymore

To Alicia, who is approaching, Jun lets her pull out with her shoulder force, as she gave up, and sighs for a long time.

"Wow, I get it...... but I won't call it off! I'll call you that!

"...... Huh!? So you didn't tell anyone to call you out!? After taking the stage...... well its...... yes! Call me out! Call me out!

"Yes, yes, I understand! So, Mr. Alicia. Let's talk about it another time! Good night!"

That's how you try to get out of this room so you can hide your embarrassment.

"Ma, wait!

And Alicia grabbed Jun's hem.

"Hey, what is it? I'm sleepy now."

With that said, Jun looked back, there was Alicia dyeing her cheeks red and moisturizing her eyes with embarrassment because of the height difference.

─ ─ ─

...... WHAT IS THIS AHH!!

I fell in love with Alicia like that for a moment, and the destructive power is pane! and let Alicia's unusual gap jump her chest.

"Oh well......"

......

Is it hard to say, silence comes from there for a while?

It feels as if time has stopped only in the space here.

Every second is longer and only beats faster so that it is inversely proportional to it.

"Shun......"

Has the decision arrived to say it, Alicia calls its name and makes it resume the time it stopped once.

......

Elsewhere, Alicia reinforced herself grabbing the hem and said:

"─ ─ I only call you by name when you're alone... and I want you to..."
