From the castle, me and Aaron walked into the Holy Knight's Quarter to the Barbatos mansion… and stood in front of it.

Whenever I look at it, I can't say it's beautiful in flattery. Only size is a fine thing......

The walls of the building stretch as many epidemiological plants as you like, and the garden, which used to seem wonderful, is in the jungle. It wouldn't be strange if some kind of ecosystem was formed over there.

As a gardener apprentice at the Hart family, I can't leave that garden alone. I have to clean the inside of the mansion for today, so I just have to put up with that grass tree taking care of Bobo's garden.

I see my neighbor on the side with chillies trying to open the gate to the rusty mansion. As good as the Barbatos mansion, but well maintained and wonderful in every corner.

Well, I used to take care of that one, too, so I know very well. Yes... what a hearty neighbor he was.

I was terribly upset when I found out. Who can predict that next to the Barbatos mansion is the Hart mansion… Roxy's mansion? At the time I was apprenticing as a gardener, I thought it was a dirty garden looking at the mansion next door. At that time, as a servant of the Mansion, it was too much to remember this, so I wasn't trying to know that much.

Damn, if I'd known, my heart would have been ready!

For Roxy in Gallia, leave a letter like that, what face to look like and be your neighbor. Yikes!

I can't take this mask anymore. I don't know... I don't want to take it.

When I was stuffy, opening and closing the rusty gate, Aaron behind me scolded me.

"Are you coming in, or not?

"I'm coming in! I'm coming in!!

But... Aaron put his hand on my shoulder as I accidentally opened or closed it.

"What's the matter, trouble? Always come to the Mansion and do the same thing."

"Hahaha, no way......"

I tried to say that, but Aaron looks good at something and says it.

"I see, I get it. Faith took a look at it... the Hart family. That's because a young girl named Roxy Hart succeeded the governor."

And make him laugh. What... did you find out? Shit, I want to see too much of that!?

It's a boulder, Kensei. What insight. When you are impressed with, for example,

"Meet Roxy on his way to Gallia while he's rebuilding Hausen. I had a lot of help. Thank you for your swordsmanship. That was pretty good. Faith is also concerned about the young Saint Knight, the corner of the five famous houses. Next time, join me in saying hello! Your lord wants to fight and you're wuss too, aren't you?

Whoa, that sounded like my mistake. Aaron loves fighting all the time! If you want to talk, you're a fist, not a mouth.

I don't have the idea to say hello and fight.

Speaking of which, Roxy forced me to go with you in Gallia. If you think so, maybe the Holy Knight itself is belligerent. It's a story I don't really want to think about.

I open the gate and go inside, hoping. The road to the mansion has not grown a single grass tree. Because Aaron said mowing the grass was a hassle - he blew the roots out with the Arts Grand Cross.

It was another moment when my work (garden maintenance) increased. I can't help but regret why I couldn't stop Aaron then.

Proceed through the wasteland that is turning into a battlefield trail and open the mansion's doors.

Then the black axe flew in.

"Abuuuuu!?

Me and Aaron crouch down at the critical spot and flaunt it. The black axe goes deep as it falls to the ground. Whoa, whoa, the garden... the garden... oh, my God! Everybody take care of the garden!

The owner of the black axe shows his face as he releases an aura that looks grumpy.

"Slow"

White hair, eyes red enough to repel. The angry girl who lives in the mansion - Mine.

I have quite a relationship with her, so even if I look at that faceless face, I somehow know the level of anger. Probably something like anger level two.

And I can largely predict why. Mine says it without me asking.

"I'm hungry"

Yeah, I guess so. Me and Aaron are out of the mansion in the morning, and it's way past noon when we get back. Mine will mean I've been hungry and waiting all this time.

"If this is the case, I should have followed you. I could have sourced food at the castle."

Procurement!? It would be a mistake to take a wide walk through the castle with our faces and rob them of food. And the one who gets in the way is gonna bust it with a black axe. Absolutely!

Great, I'm so glad you didn't take Mine. Besides, Mine wouldn't bow his head to anyone, so if we'd gone in together during the glance, he'd have been guilty of disrespect and in big trouble. Mine means something different than Aaron, so let's fight.

Well, I'm hungry, too, and I don't know what to do. I only have a few preserved meals, but I've already seen them with the king, and before cleaning the mansion, I might as well eat out a par.

Yeah, let's do that. Then goodness hurry.

When I told Mine and Aaron about it, I decided to do so in two replies.

But I'll put one condition on Mine. It's about leaving the black axe here. This should make you a little more adult.

Miraculously, Mine listened to me a lot, so I decided to go for a familiar store, relieved.

What has come is a tavern everywhere, far from top notch shops. Inside, guests were sparse as it was past lunch.

I'll take Mine and Aaron, walk past the table, and sit in the counter.

This is the seat I always sat in. Apparently, they haven't decorated the flowers for my hand, so they haven't made my death verdict yet.

Mine sits next to me and Aaron sits down next to him.

"Faith, why don't you sit at the table?

"Excuse me. This is where I calm down. If you want a table, I'll move it to you."

"I just asked if I cared. Leave it to the Lord."

That's what Aaron says and starts looking at the shop menu. When it comes to Mine, you leave it to me from the start. I haven't even looked at the menu.

There's a master of this tavern coming under us like that. But his face was a little tense.

Oh well... from the time I came in here, other customers reacted similarly.

The reason would be simple, me and Aaron. The Holy Knight will never take advantage of such a public tavern. That's what's sitting on the counter, that's probably scaring the master away.

So I took off my mask and showed my face to the master. Now, I'm not wearing this mask to hide my identity.

"Long time no see"

"Whoa, is that Faith!? Yeah eh, what's going on!?

The master stuffs at me as he drops the cup with the water he was bringing.

I couldn't tell you the details, but I'll tell you later that I was adopted by the Barbatos. Hearing it, the master looks up to eat Aaron's face in the air.

The next moment, I knelt deeply on the spot.

"Uh-oh, I knew you were the Holy Knight, but no way... was it Dear Aaron Barbatos"

"It can never happen that way. I'm just a guest now. You can treat me like everyone else."

"But..."

Aaron orders as he looks at the menu, grinning bitterly at the master who does so at first.

The master even took the order as he twisted. Will it be okay, it looks like there's some weird hot air coming out of my head. He is separate from the flirtatious guy who always made fun of me. And I'm also a little pathetic.

Now I can't relieve myself of the tension. I'll place an order for Mine. This store is delicious with fish, so that's it.

After a while, a single bottle of wine was held in the hands of the master who brought me the dish.

"It's a celebration for you. I don't know the details of what happened, but it's a birthday celebration from Nong. You promised, now you're serving fine wine."

"Yes, you did."

I got cheap wine from my master to leave King's Capital for Gallia. That's when I promised to drink good wine if I could come back. I never thought you'd remember.

The aromatic wine is poured into waves and four glasses. The master still seems nervous about Aaron, but now he celebrates with a real smile, not a makeover laugh.

"To the return of Faith, and to his future work as the Holy Knight, cheers!!

"" "Cheers!!

No way, I never thought this would happen when I came to dinner, but I didn't feel bad at all.

On the contrary, I was reminded of the peace I had long forgotten. Nothing has changed here. That was comforting.
