"Hey, part-time brother. Territorial operations are working out fine?
"Oh, it's okay, Ars. The knights under my command are following me. For now, I'm doing a local inspection, but I'm also improving my farmland."
"Yeah, I think that's fine. Looks like you've heard a lot from Jitan.
"Ah, the jitans have handed over the Armored Knight to their son to advise the Baltic Knight. If the knights in the realm have anything to say, the old man wants to hear it first."
I see. Well, the jitans seem to do a good job. That's a good choice. "
"More than that, you've been doing a lot of things I don't know. What, you fought an immortal dragon? Besides, you said you became a knight."
"Oh, that's right. It was tough, the immortals. Just touching magic makes things rot, so it won't get any trouble. I'll tell you what, if there are immortals around here, don't try to fight me, part-time brother. We need to contact the church and ask for a ritual of cleansing before we can fight properly."
"... you and Kyle fought without that ritual, right?
"I couldn't get away with an unexpected encounter. I didn't want to fight. But I gave you some advice. If you find the immortal, don't fight, brother."
"I know. But what is the Holy Knight? Did you become a knight of the church from the knight of Fontana?
"No, it's not. It seems that the Holy Knight is not a knight who obeys the Church, but a knight recognized by the Church."
"Ah? What's the difference, that?
"Hmm, so this time my Grand Barca became the Holy Sword during the purification ceremony, so I thought maybe I could make another Holy Sword. The Holy Sword is like a weapon against the immortals, the enemies of the world. I want the Church to live as long as possible to produce the Holy Sword. In other words, it's not a mere knight, it's a knight that the Church has recognized as useful, so it's been recognized as a Holy Knight."
"... I mean, are you just saying that the church helps the Holy Knight? Does that mean anything to you?
"Well, it does have some effect. The Holy Knight who fights me is more likely to complain to the church if he kills me. I think it has a deterrent effect."
"Hmm, I don't think it's a big deal to say the Holy Knight. So, what happened to the knight today? He went all the way east."
After making various things with Gran in Vulcania for a long time.
I was back in the Old Ulk Territory.
The Balkans cut off the eastern part of the former Uluk realm, and now the territory is controlled by the Baltic Knights, whose part-time brothers dominate us.
Among them, he came to the home of his part-time brother, Baltonia.
I haven't seen my part-time brother in a while.
Move your troops with me into the Ulk realm, then leave the territory to me and I'll go back to Vulcania.
Then he built a balloon, fought the immortal skeleton dragon in the forest, and received the Holy Knight's Certification from the church.
A lot has happened, but not so much time has passed.
But still, the face of my part-time brother, who was reunited, seemed to have changed somehow.
If I hadn't seen the boy for three days, I would have been shocked, but I had grown up from the boy's face after only seeing him a little.
It may be related to breaking up with me and starting to run the territory while dealing with men who were able to obey by force.
Still, the boy's heart seemed to remain, and he was jealous of me and Kyle's adventure.
Talking to such a part-time brother about that and this goes on.
I just wanted to see my part-time brother's face, and I didn't carry him far.
Tell your part-time brother about the purpose of this visit.
"Oh, I got a job I wanted my part-time brother to do. I want iron mined from the mine and transported to Vulcania."
"Mine? Iron? Ah, I'm sure there's a mine in Baltic Knight's Landing that can take iron. But there's a little problem...."
"What's up, part-time brother? I buy the iron from Balka. I'm calculating to make a good profit for you, too, right?
"Oh, that's not true. You don't know what's going on. There's a mine now. It's sealed off. They're banned."
"What? No entry? Why are you doing this again?"
I see. Just fine. That's why you're here. Give me a hand, Ars. "
"Hey, what's up, part-time brother? I don't know what you're talking about."
"So help me lift the ban on the mine. We're going to kill the monsters."
"... is there a monster living in the mine?
"That's right. I was drilling holes in the mine to mine iron and so on, but it seems that there is someone who has turned the mine into a place to live. So the mine completely stopped. I can't take a single scrap of iron right now."
"Seriously. Do you have such a annoying monster?... okay. I'll help you too. Shall we go to the mine with you, Big Brother?"
Something went wrong with the mine of interest, whether it was just in time or just right for my part-time brother.
If a dangerous monster lives in a mine, it will cause problems in obtaining iron in the future.
You can't just leave this behind.
While sighing, I went out with my part-time brother to exterminate the monster.
