Helper teacher of magic girls' school

The Graves looked intriguingly at Luu's silent prayer before the meal served.

"Hmm, what the hell does that mean?

It is a question that Luu and the first-time eater must ask.

Grave, head of the Knights of Rodonia, was no exception.

"Yes, this expresses our condolences and gratitude to those who have become food, plus our gratitude to those involved"

"Oh no! Can you elaborate on that?"

Grave asks why he prays silently.

Apparently he is interested in the deeds of Luu.

"Yes! Naturally, animals and plants have life. We can't live without eating it. One thing that I don't take for granted, yes, is to show our condolences for being able to live at the expense of our lives living in food, and thank you every day."

"Hmm... that's condolences and thanks for the food."

"That's right. The gratitude to those involved is that without the farmers who made the wheat and vegetables, the shepherds who raised the pigs, the couriers who transported them to our city, and the chefs and servants who made the dishes themselves, the meals that we are going to receive will not be made."

Apparently Grave was fully convinced when he heard Luu explain.

On the contrary, it immediately decided to adopt 'silent prayer'.

"Thank you for being able to live healthy every day as a person... is that because there are so many different things that support you... so wonderful to be! It's a noble idea comparable to the spirit of a knight! Let's incorporate it at home."

"You..."

"Father!?

Grave's wife Cecilia and her son, Atro, were stunned, eyes wide open.

It's usually family-friendly, but basically because Grave is not the type to take people's ideas straight.

"Yeah? What?

Grave, who received an astonishing gaze from his wife and son, leaned his neck strangely.

Cecilia also tells the truth.

"No, it's strange that you should immediately incorporate something new…"

Atro also followed my mother's words.

"Yes, Father!

But the look on Grave's face remains the same.

On the other hand, it's just a look when two people are talking about something abrupt.

"No, we should incorporate more and more good stuff, right? Are you crazy?"

"" No eh!

When this happened, it was already barren to continue the conversation.

Definitely!

Something has changed in this stubborn father.

The presence of Lew led to a toast and a meal after a conversation that had never been held at the Duke of Guidal's house.

"That's right! Lord Brandell, my son told me that there is no need for reverence even with me. Will you talk to me like you did earlier? I'm sorry about this, but let me call you Lord Lew again."

"" Eh!

Once again, Grave changes his usual policy.

Once again, his wife and son raised their voices of surprise.

Grave looks surprised when he sees the two of them surprised again.

"Hmm?"

"Yes, no! Father, it's nothing! Hey, hey, mother."

"Yes, I am."

But to put it badly, it is very welcome for both of us that the father who was stubborn would change.

So both Cecilia and Atro were forced to smile and delude themselves.

Seeing how those three are doing, Luu also replies taking Grave's suggestion.

"Dear Grave, Roger that."

"No, Master! Just as I'm calling you, so is my business."

"Yes! Copy that! Lord Grave... just please spare me the minimum use of salutation."

"Ha ha, I know. I'm not that accommodating either!

Cecilia and Atro watched such a conversation between Luu and Grave.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When the meal was also plugged into the middle, Atro cut out a story with Luu earlier.

"Uh, Father... Earlier, I was talking to Master Lew."

"Well, what?

"How wonderful is the knight!

Eh! Grave laughs bitterly when he sees his own son straining his chest all the time.

"Atro, knights are certainly a rewarding and proud profession, but it's hard until they serve one. Now you too will enter another home next year with a knight apprenticeship. Naturally, you're prepared to be tough."

"What, is that true?

Atro is surprised and opens his mouth pompously.

"Don't think sweetly! When I go to another house, I can see the public's harshness well. In our house, you, the Duke's wife, run like a servant in every other house."

"Oh, what's that!?

"That's how the other knights served in Rodonia, including me. A knight is not just strong or good."

"Chi, are you not!?

"It's not about being a knight! Because there are other clear purposes for knighting you. For that reason, the eight spirits of the knight, of course, are tapped into again: courtesy, horseback riding, handling of weapons, hunting methods, language, poetry, music."

"Hih, hih!

Grave, who said clearly to the anxious Atro, now spoke to Luu.

"Ha ha! Strict training for all professions is rigorous. So is Lord Lew's magic training, isn't he?

"Yes! The Wizard chants the Spirit of the Word and exercises magic, but you practice chanting tens of thousands of times before you can fully remember it, including your soul"

"Soot, tens of thousands of times!?

In many ways, apart from the knights, the unseen Atro seemed to have received a new shock when he heard about the Wizard's training.

"Yes! It's Zara too who can't remember and practice any more...... my master was tough, so he ate, and slept out all the time"

"Dining and sleeping...... none!? Guuuuu......"

Here Grave laughs.

Strike while the iron is hot... Apparently, as a father, the iron feels like carrying out a fight while it's hot.

"Besides, you seem to have boasted of the strength of a knight over Lord Lew, but this one is beating that Mariana in the game. They didn't even make her attack all over her body."

"Heh!? Mom, Master Mariana told Master Luu... to Master Luu the Wizard... lost!?

"Ha ha! Actually, Lord Lew says he's a magic swordsman. It wasn't just magic, it was swords, it was written in a letter from the master and Mariana."

"Magic...... Swordsman"

Atro keeps his eyes round and looks at Luu from head to toe.

Lew laughed and drew Grave's thoughts and told Atro.

"Lord Atro, your father is right. A knight is certainly a great profession. Beautiful figure and spirit to fight. But strength is different. For example, your father is a knight, so he is not strong. He is strong because he has trained his body and mind as a man, and he is in his present position."

"Oh, say good things! What I'm saying is, I became a knight's profession only as a means to fulfill my role. And true strength depends on the individual human being, regardless of his profession."

…………

to Atro who has been silenced. Luu says.

"Lord Atro, remember earlier, I explained what silent prayer means."

"Earlier...... description?

"Yes! There are different people in this world, each with a role to support. It means we need each other."

"Roles... well... there are those who fight, pray, and make, and each has a role.

Atro repeating Luu's words, but his gaze stared straight at Luu.

"The House of the Duke of Guidal itself, for example, originally bears the role of protecting the people of Rodonia. Once I understand that, I think that Lord Atro, who was born a man, will feel different about becoming a knight again."

Atro, hearing Luu's words, was feeling his feelings coming up.

Lew opened the window of the closed Atro's soul for you.

"If Lord Atro is to become a knight, he certainly needs strength. But that's just one of your tools for protecting the lives of this Rodonian people. As a man, in this country... no, you should think again about what role you can play in this world, and what you need to play besides strength to do that."

Atro slapped Pong and his own hand when he heard about Luu.

Apparently, he clearly understood what it meant to talk about his father and Luu.

"Father has always protected this country and all people as a fighter. I didn't just want to be a knight! I became a knight at the House of the Duke of Guidal... to fulfill your role."

"Oh, yeah! Well understood, great, Atro!

Apparently Atro took a step up the stairs to the adults.

My father, Grave, looked out for such a son.
