Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
131 Empire, Demon Nation, Human Rights
We arrived at the training ground for the Maiden Saints, and we were stopped from trying to loosen up quickly.
Luciel, we're going to have a mock fight at the big training ground ahead of us today.
As soon as Mr. Katrine smiles and points to the Grand Training Ground, he has a bad feeling and asks immediately.
"... I think this number would be enough here? So you can't?
"A mock fight in this number of people will certainly help. But I think it would be better for you, Luciel, to go through a massive command."
"Though I would never command such a scale?
Even the Yenis and Dwarf kingdoms were terrible to me.
Only a small number of me will be in command, and even if Lionel were to be in command, I couldn't find any appeal in this mock.
So you're saying I'm still getting a more unpleasant feeling than that?
While I was thinking about it, Mr. Catherine began to tell the truth.
"I knew it... where did it come from yesterday, if no other Saints or Clerical Knights are in danger of dying, they asked former General Lionel to do the archery, too"
"Just because you asked me not to take it on. If you're up against a small group, I know, but there's no way you're up against the whole Knights."
While I was surprised at Mr. Catherine, who admitted quite lightly, I didn't think I would ever have the opportunity to direct a battle of this magnitude, but I didn't feel the need to direct a battle of this magnitude in the first place.
"... you really can't?
"I'm sorry to be seen like that, but I refuse. As I said yesterday, Lionel is a squire. I urge you to stop recognizing me as a slave."
Including Mr. Catherine in my rare and strong tone, the Maiden of War Saints turns to a look of surprise.
"The total win is the biggest concession to get the most out of Mr. Catherine's feelings. I think the Lionels have the same leadership and strength as Mr. Catherine, so I think it will be the bottom line of the whole thing. So if all the Maiden Saints are convinced, let's head to the Grand Training Ground."
"Fine. I was originally trying to get Luciel to feel the command of Lord Lionel, but I was also a little too hasty... sorry indeed."
If I'm not in command in the first place, you can tell me not to.
I decided to ask Mr. Katrine about the questionable command while I put in the scratch.
"Why did you try to make me command the size of the Knights? Do they think the Empire will attack us?
I know what it's like to be in a hurry when it comes to war.
Mr. Katrine is not back in action, or maybe because he has a blank, so I can speculate that Katrine would have liked to see the troops split in two here against Lionel.
"Of course the Empire is on guard, but it's the Demons we're most on guard against. And you, Luciel. This is for you too."
I can't say anything because I've never encountered it when they say Demonic, but I'm sure it feels more troublesome than Empire. But the demon king's resurrection should be around forty years away.
More than that, the future in which I command my troops... is the question of not being able to imagine that?
"I can understand that you fight many people because you have the potential to fight demons and gain experience in combat, but why should I study command?
"That's because Luciel, you can be people's hope."
"Is it people's hope?
... I'm not aware I've been doing what I want, am I? Oh, could it have been about building a school?
Or has it cemented the ground with healing magic called sacred weirdness or something?
I'll wait for Mr. Katrine to say something.
"Yeah. Luciel, I don't think I'd die if I had your healing magic or your junction magic. Luciel, if you use those two magics to create an ever-winning legion, you'll have a higher morale."
"Isn't that all you need if I'm in that legion, even if I don't take command?
I'm sorry to lead the troops, considering that you don't have to lead the ever-winning legions, but you also have to flee if you really have to join the legions as a healer.
"Normally, that's fine. But not if you see it from someone you can't fight. The weak seek charisma. A demon king would be a brave man, and an evil enemy a hero. Luciel, you've already got the title as a hero."
"Could a title be... S-class healer?
"Right. Reviewing the healer's pricing system as an ally of the people, becoming the first representative of Yenis as a people, and becoming a dragon killer."
I haven't had a good thing since I became an S-class healer...... I can't mourn because it's not why I can't mourn, but why does it feel so thin that the Pope is involved in this?
More than that, how do you even know about dragon killers and Yenis representatives?
"Why are you talking about dragon killers and Yenis representatives?
"Forgiveness has come out of the Pope, and Luciel, that you are a dragon killer is famous in the Healer's Guild. Well, even the Adventurers Guild was out there at one time, so it was originally spreading."
Where the hell is my peace?
"... I want to live in hiding anymore"
"Hehe. You seriously think you can do that?
I squeeze out my voice, surprised that Mr. Katrine, who laughs lusciously, has stared at me in the way he says what he contains.
"Can't you?
"Not until the Demon King's threat is gone. No matter where you hide, you'll be trained at church headquarters once you're searched and found."
"Don't I have human rights?
"I do. With all due respect, you also released the seal of the earth dragon on the fire dragon, didn't you? It's been a long time since I've seen the Pope's happy face. Thank you, Luciel."
"... it's all coming to pass, isn't it? That's not the answer."
"As long as you face your fate, human rights will be upheld. I'm hoping you'll be like Sir Leinster, who gets over it with all sorts of flirting. Come on, let's go."
I was grabbed by an arm and brought to the Grand Training Ground, where all the Knights were waiting in line.
This is how I... our days of repeated simulated battles with the Knights opened the curtain.
