Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

Sleep deprivation sneaks around in the middle of the night and greets visitors knocking on the door in a slightly tired stand-up.

Good morning, good morning.

"... good morning you had a good morning"

The visitor was Nell Lemule, the leader of the High Magic Knights. I had a bad feeling about it and you were right not to let Hal handle it. Before this, it had a one-touch atmosphere. But what can I do for you first thing in the morning in the middle of this breakfast?

This is a souvenir.

"Is this... this the last cake?

"Derris, you said you wanted to eat. Now I've bought it for three."

I can't tell you how luxurious cake is in the morning. I'm honestly glad you remembered my words. Let's say I get it after lunch.

"It's always bad. I was just having breakfast, is Nell done yet? If you like, why don't you come with me?

"Not yet, but. That's bad for a boulder."

"Fine, eat. With one more Nell, I don't think it's gonna be enough."

………

Nell, who doesn't know about our dietary situation, seems to wonder what it's about. Well, you'll see soon enough. When I invited Nell into the living room just like before, Hal, who was eating mockingbirds and rice, noticed this way.

"Ah, Mr. Nell! Good morning!

"Morning, Hal - what is this massive breakfast!?

It's a regular tabletop meal at home.

"Here, this is the same shop cake as before... no dessert in the boulder, right?

"No, if you exercise for that matter, you'll be fine! Eat delicious!

"Oh, yes, I'm more than happy to..."

It's a big deal to freak out the kingdom's mightiest knights by simply showing them the dining landscape. No, really.

Nell sat next to Hull, who never showed signs of loss of appetite, and one end cake went to the kitchen. Nell feels less comfortable because it's a snack, and I'll let the rice slip on the rice bowl I used to use.

"Is that all you need?

"Yeah, thanks. I'll take it."

I miss this exchange a little too. Afterwards, as much as expected, there was no big difference where Nell joined the table, and most of the food was flattened out by Hal, as usual. Still, it doesn't seem like it's a full stomach, and at the same time as the treat, he does a tequila cleanup and sets the cake and tea. And back again to the cooking area to wash the dishes. I was too agile to say I was good after lunch. Well, thank Nell and do your best to eat.

"So, what's going on today? Is that what happened yesterday?

"On the face of it. Joseph's push annoyed me."

There was no way to hide the feeling of fatigue, and Nell sighed with a sigh of relief to show off.

"Yeah, what could it have been? In short, I gave you all that bounty, so that you never talk out of it. If anything goes wrong, I'm supposed to get rid of you, so thank you."

"Uh, roger, roger. No trouble at all. I'll do it right."

Nell says so in a very unmotivated way, so I'll get back to you as well. I guess you're giving Joseph a warning by turning Nell, the kingdom's highest power... honestly, there's no sense of crisis or snagging when it's like this. In the first place, if you don't want me to do my job, I want you to take good care of it.

"This is just a matter of time. This is where I come from, and I have a serious announcement to make."

"Critical announcement?

What, even in marriage at last? - Oh, no, don't be so glamorous. Or don't read your mind.

"Cohon! Uh... I took it, too, apprentice"

"... Huh?

apprentice? That nell, apprentice......!?

"Is it also a fever?

"Did I say something that weird?

When I did my hand on my forehead to make sure, I got a strange look in my jitsu eyes. This is my face when I'm a little frustrated. This is the face of an elite knight when he blues. But no, I don't know.

"You, you weren't interested in training people, were you? Cannon told me you refused to raise a knight's men when you were in Hull."

"Even Derris wouldn't be if I said that. The habit of getting enthusiastic if you're interested, you're out again, aren't you?

"Ugh, that's right..."

"Then I got the symptoms this time, too. Before this, find a kid as funny as Harna. Probably, but I think it's gonna be a good rival."

Nell, who gracefully drinks tea as if it were a lie, said that. Well, have you been hanging out with my Hull? Nell, who hasn't had the experience of raising his men, tells an interesting joke.

"Like Hal? I don't know, I don't really think that talent will show up..."

"Derris, who doesn't always deny the possibility, says a slight dialogue today."

"No, no, because believing in a disciple is one of the masters' tasks."

"Well, then I believe in my disciples."

………

Pachin. When the quiet pressure starts filling the room, cracks start running in cups filled with tea. That crack runs deeper...

"Both of you, the killing is wasted and the dishes are in big trouble! Do it outside!

"" Oh, I'm sorry... "

All the unpleasant air is dispersed by the sound of Hull's face coming out of the cooking area. We both bowed our heads and apologized.

"... Well, you can't even say you're certainly not there. Some of them come from different worlds, and it's no wonder or anything. I'm a little interested, too."

"Oh, yeah? Well, to tell you the truth, so am I. I was wondering if Harna and her disciples would be stronger if they competed with each other... so I'm here to invite you today."

"Invite?"

Nell deflects his gaze as he brings his hand.

"Next Knights expedition, I'm going to take my apprentice with me... thought Harna might join me. And, of course, Delis, if you like."

Magic Knights expedition. It is a crusade in which Nell, the leader of the regiment, leads his own knights out to crusade vicious monsters beyond the reach of ordinary adventurers. The tasks assigned to Nell are all of the highest difficulty that is happening in that period, and the marching knights are prepared to go to the dead place to give their confessions.

- It sounds horrible when it comes to it, but the reality of it is that Nell is a sightseeing tour up close that sees him kick a vicious monster alone. Naturally, I can't participate except for the people involved, but they're quite popular within the regiment trying to get a glimpse of the strongest power. However, there are rumors that if a newcomer to a petty aristocracy was allowed to take part in this tour and had a terror experience nearby. I'd rather not know the details.

Well, it's just that Nell doesn't want to work in the castle and he's making excuses like that. Something about no one in the castle who can complain because I bring back my track record with Kitin and his opponent's neck.

"Is that good? Do you mind if we join?

"I don't care what you do with such a regimental authority. I'm the one choosing who to take with me in the first place."

He said he was ready to eat. Well, what do we do? I rarely get a chance to see Nell fight, and I'm pretty concerned about the apprentices that Nell puts in. In the end, the grey rope guys yesterday fell short of expectations, and it's not a bad thing for Hal to give them a big stimulus.

"Then let me sweeten your words"

"Book Hit!?

Gathering and momentum, Nell. Do not knock down the chair.

"You know I don't have to. You don't lie. So, where are you going?

"... Oh, yeah. Cohon, a little self-proclaimed demon king exorcism. Don't worry, it's not that dangerous."
