Seeds of thought

I finished my audition with Glenn.

I'm still a little confused though less confused. I think he's a little allergic to being archaic with a naked man in his upper body...... But Glenn was strong.

There is a question as to why the bandits did it.

"... Mr. Glenn, why were you dying when you were dealing with a bandit?

"An arrow flew away at the lady. I paid with my sword to shelter it, but then they shot me in the leg."

I see. I didn't know because I even healed that, and I had an eye for a chest wound. Did I? You were being shot in the leg.

"You're poisoned with arrows... Just knife where you can't move because of the paralysis poison."

"Wow..."

It's normal to let them move and kill you, but don't pull a little when they do that.

Let me try not to do it.

"I'm still immature. I can't protect my daughter..."

And Glenn looked up into the sky. The sky is dark and I see the stars.

Sky with a good view of the stars because there is not one cloud.

"... I don't think anyone can protect you perfectly"

"I know. It's just that we knights have to be close to perfection."

……

"It is our mission not to let them kill escorts. If we die, there's a better chance that the escort will die."

Right. Do we have to be perfect so that it involves people's deaths?

You have to be strong to die in the world. There's a monster, there's a bandit. The knights also protect the nobility, the nobility protects the people... it feels like a world where something protects something.

"So be strong enough to protect you. That's all. We... that's all I want."

And, Glenn decides. At that moment, the light flooded out of Glenn's chest.

"What is this?!?

"Hey, what's this!?

A sudden light. The light is absorbed into my body.

I received the seed of thought.

A seed of thought?

Oh, I wonder if that means collecting this? Glenn hoped so. I was entrusted with the thought I wished for... Can I think of that?

I don't know...... but it won't feel bad for now and it'll be fine.

"It was a bright light but Miki sucked me in... The seed of thought, did it come out of me..."

"You know what?

"Ah, oh. This country... No, it's like an urban legend rumored throughout this world, but what I strongly thought would appear as a seed of thought... I've never seen it before... but there is."

Urban legend. Is that how you treat it?

"And it is said that collecting a lot will fulfill one wish of the world"

"... I see"

"I didn't believe it was an urban legend, but it's true when you see it..."

Yeah, maybe the ninth tier attack is about collecting the seeds of this thought, not the quest. Ugh, it's going to take a while.

"... you're still a kid too. Maybe it was because I spoke so fervently."

"... Fine. Even children."

"Right. You might as well stay a child now."

And Glenn laughed.
