The room has no windows, and the lights on the desk illuminate the lamp suspiciously.

A chair placed around the desk, on which two men and one woman sat silently. As if he forgot to move, he wasn't moving like a statue.

But another man was the problem.

Her long, black bangs covered her left eye, and she slept in a loose, plain cloth, putting her arms on her desk as a pillow.

The man was a commoner, but was given the same treatment as the Royal Knight.

“…… zzz …… zzz ……”

However, the figure is full of jaws on the desk and full of gadgets.

Not very, but I don't think he deserves the same treatment as a member of the honorable Royal Knight.

His name is Silva.

Despite being a commoner, he was a late 20's man who was chosen as the guardian candidate for the next queen, Karina.

"Fuwaarto"

Silva seemed to wake up from a long sleep.

He quickly looks around and notices that nothing has changed before he fell asleep.

"... Isn't there anybody yet? Long enough to keep you waiting. You've been gathered here just because it's the final exam announcement?"

Silva was a little frustrated with the current situation.

Everything was a letter that arrived in a room given to the Royal Castle last night.

It was due to the fact that it arrived from an owl that Locomoko was doting.

"When I was trying to write a reply, I took him to this place. Did they have no human rights?"

I was stunned to see the sender.

Reading the contents, Silva immediately sought to send the letter back.

But it didn't come true.

The presence of those who suddenly visited a room provided as a residence while Silva was taking the Guardian selection test. If it is said that it is part of the guardian knight selection test, it cannot be denied that he is busy now.

Down the stairs, she was taken to this narrow, uninteresting, jail-like place, and was told to wait until the exam was announced.

"It's too long! What are they doing? They've been locked up for almost a day!"

If ten people enter, it is going to be stiff.

Probably underground. By the way, I have heard that there are a number of rooms in the basement of the Royal Castle for temporary imprisonment of sinners.

Silva fell asleep after being trapped in this area for a while before falling asleep.

I start complaining again.

Two men and women sitting in chairs, like Silva, are aiming to kill Silva, but Silva doesn't show any notice.

"A commoner. If you make a noise next time, you know that your neck will be forever separated from this world."

"Scary! I'm almost a day away! I don't know if it's day or night now because there's no window!"

"We are the guardian knight (Guardian) candidate for the next queen of Dalis, Princess Kalina. If you become a guardian knight (Guardian), you have to defend Princess Kalina instead of life at any time. The reason for this is that you don't lose your concentration for a while, and I don't know that much.Why was a brutal layman like you chosen as a guardian candidate for Princess Karina? It's hard to understand, and it's really hard for Cardinal Maldini to play. "

The man closed his eyelids and silenced.

Another woman sitting on a chair has not spoken a word since she was brought to this place.

Silva looks at them.

Now, I understand the feelings of Locomoco who has quit the royal knight, such as those who can't afford it.

In the first place, I have never said that I want to be a guardian knight.

It is said that Princess Karina's hope is that the ruler of the shadow of this country, that cardinal Gyorome, is added as a guardian candidate without permission.

"... Huh. I didn't want it."

All of Silva's presence was at the request of Princess Karina.

"Yes, I understand. I understand, I'll be silent."

"Do you really understand? It is unlikely that a commoner like you will be given the Dalis' national treasure, the enchanted sword, albeit temporarily. You can't even touch it."

Silva saw a sword in a sheath on her waist.

A rare metal that can contain the power of spirits.

A sword created using abundant magic ore that exists only in certain places in this country.

Dali's national treasure, granted sword (enchant sword) is said to have no more than 10 in this world.

Enchanted swords given to Silva are also protected by the Great Spirit of Light.

Cardinal Maldini had been strictly obliged to keep the three survivors of the final test in order to see compatibility with the Great Spirit of Light.

"So I didn't want it."

"Don't you still say ... I've heard of it by rumors. He said, you were a former knight of that falling wind (Slow Denning)."

"Hey! Do you want to be sloppy? You distract! You are a man!"

Another woman here.

A woman who seemed to continue meditation without breaking any expression from a while ago shrugged off.

"I'm sorry, Coomer, because the commoners are too ignorant,"

Quietness returns to the closed, narrow room.

Silva turned her face down and laughed small.

He remembered a letter from the boy who was called the crashed wind.

"... The wind that crashed."

Silva recalls the excitement of last night.

When I receive a letter from Loco Moco's favorite owl and finish reading the content, I can not forget the shivering trembling.

The letter from Slow's old employer and friend, Slow's boy, was simple.

[Maybe it was too late to notice, but I realized I was not good alone]

Silva has set.

A crumpled letter.

Dirty text that would have been erased after rewriting over and over again.

Some of those words were the biggest shocks for Silva in recent years.

Silver. I've actually ...

I laughed unintentionally.

It was Barrebarre.

There is only one person in the world who did not have the performance of Slow Denning.

Yes, only Silva was aware.

A girl rescued from the slave market.

He changed after meeting her, who had grown up beautifully by now.

"... Boochan, it's crazy."

The two men and women sitting on the chairs looked suspicious, looking at Silva, who was laughing at him.

[A dream I once imagined. At last I realized that the ridiculous fairy tale actually connected her best.]

... Silva held his head.

What was the dream that Slow's boy was drawing?

Little by little, Silva remembered the old days.

That day when I met a child called Slow Denning and a commoner.

Silva, who had been traveling on his own, had found it in the woods.

A baby was taken hostage, and a small child with a solid stick and countless monsters he had never seen before died.

When I was hiding and listening, it was obvious which was the bad guy.

So it helped.

The child who wielded his cane and used various magics was surprised to learn that he had heard rumored wind prodigy.

After that, the wind prodigy and he talked a lot.

Neither Wind Prodigy nor he talked about a dream he had never told anyone overnight.

[If you still have the same dream as me]

It was nice to say that their dreams were exactly the same.

[I want to challenge that dream again with my old friend]

From an early age, Silva wielded his sword for a single dream.

Now that he is older, he has given up and been frustrated.

I realized that I couldn't do anything but to wield my sword.

Silva, a mere civilian, was quietly buried deep in her heart to recall her dream, which she realized was impossible.

[Because I realized that it might be surprisingly easy to make the world peaceful ---]

He would have picked up ordinary people's weapons for the dreamed future.

I had forgotten why I took my sword.

As such, I was being swept away, and as I was told by that Cardinal Golome, I was undergoing tests to become a guardian knight (Guardian).

[-In the near future, I will head to the ruins of the Imperial Kingdom dominated by monsters close to the Demon King]

By reading the letter, Silva's future was confirmed.

Silva recalled what she was looking for strength for.

"... I don't want to get old. I've long forgotten the dream of that day.

"People! I'm so annoying!"

"Oh ... that's ..."

But. Wait a minute.

"Well, now what happens when the nobles head to the ruins of the Empire?"

"The stupid lay people! The Empire is now a southern enemy controlled by the Demon King! The Demon King has declared that any incoming man is considered an enemy! Dali's nobleman on the ruins of the Empire If you enter, it has nothing to do with the state! It is reasonable to inform the state that you will give up your position! At the beginning of the destruction of the Imperial Kingdom, some nobles abandoned their positions due to righteousness, but rarely recently! It's a monster paradise! "

"Oh, that's right. Thank you."

"Hey guys, say noisy! This is the man!"

Empire Hughjack, destroyed by the Dostor Empire and now occupied by the Demon King.

Silva laughed.

I missed him as usual.

Because, going to that makai is ----.

――― Because I realized I was going to abandon myself as a noble.

● ● ●

"Kana Karina guardian candidates! @ The stage of the final exam has finally been decided!"

It was surprising.

The tightly closed door was brilliantly opened, and the two guardian knights, who continued to meditate, gazed.

Behind the open door is Dalice's heavyweight alongside Duke of Denning, the man who leads the selection test for Princess Kalina's Guardian Knight.

Cardinal Maldini, with a shaved head and a crisp, sharp eyes.

"The destination is the town of Jorem and Krush Magic Academy! I will go with half of the royal knights as Princess Kalina will accompany me on this trip !!"

Nobody was calm at the unexpected destination, Princess Carina's accompaniment, the royal knights, and Cardinal Maldini's visit, all of a sudden being told.

Cardinal Maldini looked satisfactorily at the situation and shouted again.

"There is an urgent message from the director of the Krouch Magic Academy Morozov! The forest of loss! The former Royal Knight (Royal Knight) and Locomoco Highland have confirmed the occurrence of a dungeon in the forest outside the school! But this is a great opportunity for the Royal Knights to sell to the army, or to the Duke of Denning! "

A dungeon was born in the forest surrounding Magic School.

It is undoubtedly a military blunder that we overlooked during our search this year.

The Daliss army, assembled by the Duke of the Greater Aristocrat, and the Royal Knights, which Cardinal Maldini holds with full authority.

The Duke of Denning, who controls the country's military, and Cardinal Maldini, who controls the country's internal affairs.

Even the child of Dalis knows the bad rapport between them.

"There is even worse news! Not the dungeons, but this is the reason the Royal Knights, Princess Kalina, and this Cardinal I accompany--"

Cardinal Maldini, the country's top.

The guardian knights, who knew who was the old man in front of them, rushed and corrected their posture.

"--- It has been confirmed that a black dragon flying over the site of the Imperial Kingdom has been visually observed from the Dalis border! It seems that a fierce battle is currently taking place between the black dragon and the monster occupying the Empire. It is said that the Black Dragon is slowly approaching the town of Jölem while fighting slowly along the Dalis border! Therefore, he has to go to Jölem at full speed! In the unlikely event that the Royal Knights is one, Under the direction of Princess Karina who has completed her work, I will ask her to be a shield to protect the inhabitants! I decided to let Princess Karina know the smell of the war even a little forcibly! "

The three are swallowed by Cardinal's momentum.

The noble man is a cardinal of this country.

Despite the fact that it has deteriorated over the years, it is a heavyweight among the heavyweights who have supported Dalis for many years.

The words bear the certain weight of the man who continued to support the country.

The only woman guardian of a guardian knight, who has turned aside from the previous one and turned pale, responded confusedly to the fact that Cardinal sent a blunder.

"Cardinal Maldini ...? What is one job for Princess Carina?"

"Guess the guardian knights of Princess Carina! Guardian Dalice's national treasure, enchant the sword (enchantment sword) and decide to abandon your life! The one who defeated the dungeon master and gained the utmost trust of Princess Karina in the battle is the next guardian knight (Guardian)! In this era of war, a strong and bold guardian knight (Guardian) is required! Together with Princess Carina, she will become the face of Dalis and run up the path to a hero! "

The Cardinal spreads his arms to fire the guardian knight candidates.

He looked out to each one and said loudly.

"A young hero is a guardian knight of a young pretty princess!" Yes! "The birth of a" hero "is the way Dalice lives!"
