Crowe was reading gossip paper at the Eighteen Knights Waiting Area.

There were rumors on the paper that the nobles and ladies of Austel had fallen in love with the swelling, but Crowe was not very interested in the content he was reading.However, since Crowe himself is noble and knows the truth of the rumors written, he thinks "Don't write such nonsense ~".

The point is, I was busy.

Gossip paper is the only reason Crowe's father and brother don't read it all the time.

(I'm free.....)

With that in mind, I stopped even reading the cover of gossip paper, and it was all over the table.

Along with the small footsteps, a man entered the waiting area.

Crowe soon knew whose footsteps were being heard.Such a small footstep is all Heath has left.

As soon as Heath entered the waiting area, she crouched down at the Garudge's desk and started working on something.

I didn't seem to have noticed it.

Crowe stood quietly with a playful smile, sneaking up behind her with a sneak foot.

"Wow!

And he raised his voice and touched his hands on his little shoulder.

However, Crowe's expected reaction did not come back from the other party.

Heath stays calm and puts the garage tools in the bag

Bend your torso and face upside down to meet Crowe.

"What's wrong?Mr. Crowe. "

(This guy's soft...)

On the contrary, Crowe was a little more surprised with his flat face.

"What, did you notice that?"

"Of course."

Apparently, Crowe was the only one who didn't notice.

Say hello.

"I was trying to do something, and I was in a hurry, so I thought I'd wait."

I'm a cold junior...Crowe felt a little lonely.

But don't hesitate to ask Heath.

"By the way, what are you doing?

"We're ready for a survival exercise.I need Garudge to help me. "

Hearing the word "survival exercise," Oops, there's a joy in Crowe's face.Crowe said to Heath, confidently slapping his chest.

Then I'll help you too.I'll talk to you about anything.You can rely on senpai. "

Heath said to Crowe that he had finished packing the necessary luggage or that he would stand up with a bag of strings on his back.

"Mr. Crowe seems to have a light mouth, so it's no good."

That's all. It's just a little footsteps again.

Crowe, who is usually left alone by even Heath who is taking care of him, simply replaces it to ruin time.

With the help of the other knights, I had a date with a naughty girl, and he was busy when I was busy, but I was free when I was free.Besides, there is a lot of worry about Heath, and lately Napa is out of date.

I'm going to be free.

When Crowe was still cluttered, an unusual person appeared in the waiting area.This is Roy, king of this country and head of the 18 Knights.Busy with the king's work, he can't face this waiting area easily, even if he's the captain.

"Oh, is it time?

Crowe greets the King in his usual light tone, a careless relationship.In the first place, Roy is not King Roy, but Knight Ior.It may seem unnatural to say a hard greeting.

"Ah, do something to finish your work.Is Heath here?

Apparently I was worried about Heath.

Crowe cooled his liver when he heard that Heath's expeditionary unit had been caught in a fierce battle.But if you come back, it's going well.

Absolutely, that junior always makes me nervous.

"He'll do as usual.He came here a while ago, left me alone and went to see Garudge. "

The crow answers with a sigh.

Roy gave the answer an unusual reassuring expression.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay.I would have liked to see you a little sooner, but I didn't finish the job. "

Roy is really worried about Heath.Crowe remembered Heath's true gender and felt strange that Roy was worried about women.

"I hope you didn't suffer any psychological injuries from the battle...."

No matter how much you train to fight, there are those who get hurt in action.It was a rather troublesome problem for a knight.

And the wounds on my heart were difficult to understand even from the surroundings.

But...

"Isn't he gonna be okay?For now, as long as you can hear me, it's the same as usual.Looks like you're having fun with your friends in the north quarters. "

"Wait a minute."

Crowe's words were stopped in strange places.I didn't mean to say that I felt uncomfortable in particular.What was caught?

Crowe bows to Roy's mystery.There was no reason to think of it, and for Crowe, Roy was stranger.

Roy opens his mouth.

"Wait a minute. Why is Heath living in a men's quarters?It's a girl. "

King Roy got caught in a strange place.

No, it's not.

Crowe hastily fixes his thoughts.The part caught is normal.The anomaly was that Roy was caught there.

A little confused and Crowe shut up, Roy said.

"What are you calming down?A girl is in a dormitory where boys live.There must be a lot of inconvenience in life.You can't be in trouble.In some cases, you may feel in danger. "

"I'm surprised you realized that...."

The real truth spills out of Crowe's mouth.

"What are you talking about?

Roy didn't know what Crowe meant by his words and cut his neck.

However, if you think about it carefully, there may have been a lack of thought.Roy knew Heath as a girl a long time ago.

I would have realized sooner if I had dated Heath's report and her gender.It was rough.

I thought I was worried about Heath's life.I've been following up and advising.But there was a problem with the foundation of life in the first place.

"Um... I have a lot of things too...!He's on the lookout for me when I try to talk about my life in the Knights.Well... it's probably because I tried to stop the knight...In the meantime, it's like an unconscious, upside-down cat.That's why he didn't tell me anything. "

Crowe was worried about his relationship with Heath.

"But it can't be as good as this."

"No, he's fat, and he's not in any trouble.Seriously. "

When I saw Heath's manners and everyday attitude, Crowe really thought so.

"Are you crazy, Crowe?Heath is already an old girl.You can't be feeling the problem.No, even if you're not feeling the problem, people around you will have to follow you. "

Why does this man make the right point at such a time?

Why should such a man spit the right argument in relation to women?

Crowe felt really irrational, though he was his best friend.

"Well, I was against him continuing the Knights!It was your decision, Roy.If you want to do something, you do it yourself.I don't know!

Crowe said to throw it away with a frustrating feeling.

"Mmm...."

Crowe opened his eyes and looked a little surprised---

I certainly interpreted Crowe's statement as correct.I may have unconsciously relied too much on Crowe.

Roy turned his expression into a crisp one and proclaimed it softly.

"Okay. Let me figure this out!

Crowe already had a bad feeling about Roy's announcement.

Maybe it was too much of a selling word and a buying word.

"Ah, ahh... but don't try too hard... you know, you're busy working as a king, right?Besides, I probably hate Heath.... "

I don't know what Crowe's talking about.Why do you hate solving Heath's problems?

I didn't know what it meant, but I shook my head and answered prepared.

"Leave it to me. I will try to come up with a solution within a few days."

I don't understand, but Roy's words were released to reassure Crowe that he was worried about something.It pushed Crowe further into a worrying vortex.



Afterwards, even after his official duties, the civilians discovered Roy turning around late at night.

"Hehe, Your Majesty. Isn't that how you work too much...."

It's too late for Roy to be a worker holic, but his men are more worried about his work than ever.

Roy answers the civilian when he lifts his face from the material.

"No, this is for personal use.It's not a job. It's temporary, so don't worry. "

It's for personal use, even if they say so, it's originally a way of eroding my job even in private.Nothing satisfied the civilian concern...

But soon after the civilians said nothing-- Roy began to look through the paperwork again.

"Hmm, is there a system like this...?"

--Murmuring.

The civilian couldn't say anything, as if he were still immersed in some kind of work, even though it was for personal use.In the room where the civilian said hello and left, Roy kept turning over the materials by himself.



A few days later, Fi got a little call.

"What's wrong?I want to!

What happened? Fei's expression coming into the 18th Knight's rally hall was right there.I was glad to see you purely.

"I need to talk to you."

"Talk? What is it?"

Eor proudly proclaimed to Fi that he would curse his neck.

"I'm thinking of creating a Knights of Women."

"The Knights of Women...?

Fei leaned her neck to wonder why she should talk about it.

Eor talks a little early and tells Fei about the results of the week's research.

"Exactly. There are no Knights of Women in Austral, but there are some in other countries.A brief interview showed that not many women want to be knights in this country.However, it is not common for women to become knights in Austel, so there are some cases where the idea of becoming knights does not arise.If the Knights of Women exist and their presence is established, it is likely that more people will want to become Knights even among women.So let's start by accepting foreign students from countries with female knights.I've always wanted to interact with the Knights of Austel.I want them to accompany me on escort duties such as noble ladies. "

Fei thought it was an amazing plan.

That is precisely the scale of development at the national level.

I thought it was awesome that I wanted to be able to propose on such a scale.I'm sure someone with King level power has connections.That's exactly what I want.

"If the presence of female knights is recognized, the perception in Austria will change, and eventually people who want to become knights from women in their own countries will appear.Perhaps it will take years to get there, but if we work with the students, we should be able to gradually increase it while maintaining our size as a Knights of Women. "

Explaining the plan to that point, Eor said to Fei in a gentle voice from under the mask.

"Heath, why don't you join the Knights as your first candidate from your own country?There must be a lot of anxiety in the current living environment.As the first female knight in our country, your name will rise.How about that, will you take it?

This should give Fi (Heath to Roy) peace of mind as a knight without worrying about the surroundings.You will surely be satisfied.

With that conviction, Eor turned his incredibly gentle eyes towards Fei.

The kindness is also conveyed to Fei---

There was no way.

Fei looked like a kitten with upside-down hair, trembling and staring at the eol with tears.

"Are you telling me to go...?

"Ha...?

I don't know why Eor reacted like this.

"You wanted to stay in this unit, but I was in your way!?I want to be a little liar!A traitor! "

Fei was totally angry and stuck to Roy and went mad.

"Wait, Heath! That's not what I meant!

"Well then, what are you talking about?!Why, no! You're trying to kick me out!

"No! I was thinking about you!

"Why would I want to be in this unit!

"Wait, Heath! Just calm down!Then listen to me-- "

"Why even the captain!!

It's no longer the situation we're talking about.

What was wrong with Roy?

In detail, there may be many things.Did you not consult with the other person, or did you think you were alone?But the worst part was timing.

Crowe refused to be in the Knights, and Fi was originally traumatized.

Moreover, after that, I was in trouble at the expedition, and my friend was injured and felt helpless.

I was behaving well and trying to survive, but in fact, there was a lot of stress in my heart.

Roy shook it as hard as he could, and it erupted at once.

When talking to women, or people, the first thing that matters is timing.

No matter how right your opinion is, if you make a mistake in timing, it will not be listened to, but it will even be counterproductive.

Crowe, a woman with a lot of experience, was somehow able to feel the area.

However, Roy, who was accumulating some negative experience, stepped on the mine with all his might.

An hour later, Ior, torn apart by a violent fie, appeared at the rally place where Crowe was.

I failed to convince Heath.

I guess so.

Crowe was glad not to get involved while drinking tea, while sweating cold.
