Golden Experience

The Knights of the Hugel Cup had already retreated from the camp they had prepared for the world's archangel crusades in the past.

However, some merchants still remain in the area, trading with rare visiting players.

In order to receive this, and to officially take the land as part of the city, Lord Reiliene now treated this meadow as a pioneering land on an exceptional basis, allowing commercial activities and development with tax exemption. State authorization has also been granted for this.

As a Justifice living in modern society, I wish I had more shortcut stairs to crash through the floors of Hugel Cup Castle and descend underground than to do that, but I don't think I can do that because I have structural problems.

He explained a lot about how the load on the arch caused the compressive force of the stone, and how the structure supported by horizontal and straightening reactions at the edge of the arch was, but he didn't understand it at all.

Whatever the power of magic, if in ancient times we had built this without skill, Reiliene had already said it was the technology we deserved to call it an artifact. I wasn't sure, but I guess so if she says so.

The rumored Virgin returned to the Kingdom of Wealth at such a time that the event period was over.

It seems that we can't leave the country for too long.

Liliene thinks that the decline in Gentiles is due to the return of the Virgin, but simply because the event is over and the Despenalties are no longer eased.

Rather, it is surprising that there are still a few players who still try.

Anyway, with the rise of the Knights, Justine's office returned to the city from the outskirts.

He now clears up requests posted on the City Mercenaries Union with his Knights, or goes away for training and hunting in monster space. In other words, they are no different from ordinary players. Now that you're getting paid, you're still great with government officials.

One day I was having such a normal day, I received a call from Lord Lilliene.

"Justine, I'd like to ask you for a little assignment, but I'm sure your convenience will be fine."

Next event.

That said, it is not an official event like an angel raid, but rather a unique event of Knight Play of Youth.

No, there seemed to be some changes in events in the Angel Raid that would involve the progression of the World Quest due to the actions of some players, and I can't say enough that this is completely irrelevant either.

"Yes! I'll take care of it! Dear Lyrienne!"

"No, at least I want you to listen to what's going on before you answer...."

The employing lord brings Justine directly to us, so there is no doubt that the event is worthy of Justine in difficulty. Then the problem will only be temporal, but it can also take some time to focus on the game. I don't have the option to say no from the beginning.

"The mission is an escort. That said, it is not as common as men do for women in night clubs.

Do you know a country called Portley?

Soon, the Knights of the Portley Kingdom will be visiting the Kingdom of Parele for an inspection, so I need their escort and guide.

Even so, the security of our country is good, and there will be no fool who would attack the Knights in the first place. I've already told you about the route, and you just have to accompany me for the sake of nominal reasons. "

"Eh?"

Oh, my God.

I nodded lightly and regretted it a little. Regardless of combat difficulty, this is a very delicate task.

There is no such thing as the passing of an army from another country through the territory of one's own country, even if it makes the escort Justified.

If anything, it is an immediate international problem.

And Portley-speaking, it's the country of the elves.

In the past, the SNS has seen a number of stupid writings by players operating in Portley.

Said the knights are arrogant and have a bad attitude towards the players. Even worse for the aristocrats, no one thinks of the players. Besides, they are not tough because they have the strength they deserve. and so on.

At that time, Youth was uncomfortable with the writing of the image of an arrogant elf.

At present, the number of players themselves seems to be decreasing from Portry, and I don't see that kind of writing very much, but I don't have a good impression of the Knights of Portry anyway.

"I'm looking for knights from every city on the route through. I was in trouble because no one said I wanted to do it. It would be helpful if you were so motivated. [M] Thank you very much."

"A, Hi, Yolo Conday......"

This time, they recruit knights from each city on the Knights of Portley march route to serve as escorts.

The knights of each city start the city of their home and escort the Knights of Portley to the entrance of the next city, where they finish by taking over for the knights of the next city.

In other words, the knight who plays the escort basically moves only in his own garden.

But only the Hugel Cup has different circumstances.

As long as the destination is the kingdom of Pairé, the next town in the Huguel Cup will be the one to the north, but it is not a dungeon, but it is adjacent to the realm of monsters, that is, the peripheral city. As such, I would like to avoid having the visiting team stay in the surrounding city if possible, as I do not know what will happen.

In that case, there is no longer a city that can stop to the Kingdom of Pairé, and the Hugel Cup is the last city in Oral Japan.

For this reason, it seems that the Justies and the Hugel Cup Knights escort group will take the Portley Knights across the border to the pair.

─ ─ If it's a unique event for me, I know it's been a special hassle for me...

It is the trouble characteristic of the main character.

Apparently, the operation also decided on a policy of treating this Justine as the protagonist of the Oral.

And so on. I can't do it unless I think positively about it in a fucking way.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Knight Youth and I am a member of the Knights of the Hugel Cup. This time, I asked you to play the role of escort. Please let me know if there's any inconvenience along the way."

"Thank you very much for this. My name is Fabio, and I am the head of the nascent Third Knights of the Portley Kingdom. Are you Miss Justine? No rumors."

I don't know if it's because he's an elf, but the Knights leader who named him Fabio looks very young.

I don't know if that's why, but what about calling your daughter a knight for introducing herself by saying she will escort? I feel slightly uncomfortable as if I am seen as an ordinary woman, not as a knight.

Rumor, huh?

"Yes. Anything. You made a huge contribution to the Archangel crusade during the previous angel attack. As the same knight, I certainly heard about his courage. The Knights won't stop talking about you. Had that artifact been at our feet, it would have been me who was receiving praise by now. As long as I'm absolutely envious."

I mean, this is because Justine was able to play in the Archangels because the artifacts happened to be nearby, and he says that anyone in his Knights could have done it, even under the same conditions.

Excuse me. Extremely rude.

Well, this is what we're talking about in SNS.

But he also talked about being a bad tachi because of his high strength accordingly, but I don't get the impression that he or the knights who refrain behind him seem so strong.

Sure, arrogance is arrogance, but I don't feel it from the behavior of the strong.

Of course, whatever the avatar is in the game, the content of the youth is just a little girl, so I don't know anything about such signs or aura, but at least they didn't feel anything like "amazing" in common with the strong characters they have encountered in the game.

"─ ─ That's a shame. The artifact is still running in my Hugel Cup. If time permits, why not let the Knights challenge you later?"

While worried about what to do to keep the waves from coming back, the Senior Knight Arena, who was on this mission with Justine, ran into me.

"No. Let's not. Wounding everyone in the Knights is not part of this mission.

But the Knights of the Hugel Cup are gorgeous and good. I also want to work with ease. "

Then we said that we would take the accommodation, and Fabio walked back to the guide to the accommodation.

"... that's it! The whole Knights would have been fooled if it weren't for the Captain!

When she opened a distance that she could not hear enough, the Arena shouted indignantly.

Captain means Justine.

Arena is a senior knight, but is now a member of the Secret Service led by Justine. Seniors, but subordinates, have a really painful stomach.

He is nearing his age, though, and is bright in character, so he is pulling the squad with me as an adjunct to Justine and as a man of strength second only to Justine.

"No, if it's just me..."

"Besides, it just so happens that the captain and I were women...

The only reason you don't have the luxury of the Knights is because you're not hot!

"Arena, how to say it!

But it does bother me a little that I was giving a sexist nuance.

In this gaming world, which can be strengthened by gaining experience, the difference in living time is much greater than the difference in gender and race.

Because time is equal for everyone, it is common for most in-game residents to be less discriminatory.

There are just exceptions, and that becomes the elves and dwarves that are set to have a long life span.

But from what they said, I felt more fluffy and groundless than confident by their advantages as a race.

"... I wonder if there's so little experience in combat."

"Ah. That said, you said nascent third knights or something. I wonder if he's new from the Knights Commander."

Speaking of Portleys, it is also the country where the Seventh Disaster counterpunch was critically hit and technical knocked out just before the Angel Raid.

Given that it was here in the Oral Kingdom that was committed to supporting reconstruction at that time, their attitude cannot be clearly stated.

But it can also be said that the subtle relationship between these countries is the information that Justine can be told because she is trusted by the Lords, and that she can be judged because she can use SNS as a player to obtain information multilaterally.

If it hasn't been that long since they became knights, it might be helpless if they don't understand the relationship between those nations.

The Third Knights were also destroyed by the Seventh Disaster, and this time the organization was newly reorganized.

"If that's the case, I'll forgive you for saying something a little cheeky....."

"Hey, before that, I'm the only one who's done talking about it, but it's not over yet. Hey, Mr. Arena? Hey ─ ─"
