Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan

That day.

Two knights came to the Royal Builders School.

One is the Kingsguard Knights.

It is an ancient knighthood that protects the royalty of the kingdom of Terraria.

The other is the Knights of Zhenghong.

It is the most active Knights of the Wars of the Brave Demons, held by the Duke of Tergande family.

After the knights gathered on the ground, joint exercises began.

Speak of knights. I won't let them do basic training. At first there will be familiar to the students, physical exercise and sword bareback.

Eventually, as the workout became full-fledged, meetings to ascertain the mould of the streets and mock warfare began.

In front of us, the Kingsguard Knights and the Zhenghong Knights are conducting a simulated battle.

The students at the school were thrilled by the sight.

"Whoa!? Awesome!! Did you see that? Are you a human being?

"Boulders are the best knights in the kingdom, aren't they? … the movement is very sophisticated"

Gran and Mize, who were touring the exercise outside the ground, admire the knight's movements.

Naturally, some knights fought on the front lines during the Great War. They are, to the students, the next most respected heroes of the brave. It is only natural for the Grans to get excited.

"Tweet, let's see it closer!

"... oh"

Me and Mize followed Gran as she scratched the crowd and moved on.

The strong side of the gran helps at times like this. Few students do not give way in front of their strong faces.

"But it's fine. Elysia is. Closer than us, can you see this?

To Gran's whining, I turned my gaze inside the ground.

We tourists don't get inside the ground to keep out of the way of the exercise. But the only exception is the executive commissioner who helps with the exercise. Elisia, the executive commissioner, was now in the process of delivering drinks to the knights during the exercise.

"Does Gran like knights?

"Oh. Anyway, I always admired it."

Gran says somewhat shy.

Gran said of himself that he was a man who went out on the battlefield and frustrated his heart. That's why I didn't take any entrance exams in heroics either, and I've been aspiring to general studies since the beginning.... I guess I don't admire knights now. Still, the respect doesn't seem to have disappeared.

"Oh, some of you are women."

Mize says.

At the end of that gaze was a lady knight with blue hair.

"That... is from the Kingsguard Knights, Master Salia-Pendiente. Last year, when I was only eighteen years old, I was entrusted with the Kingsguard knight."

To Grand's explanation, Mize shrugged as if she was impressed with "Is it a delicacy?"

Knights are not a forbidden organization for women, but there were still fewer women than men. No matter how respected, the knight's true self is a bloody battle. Few women like to step into a place like that.

Salia had a sword meeting with the male Knight of Phosphorus, who was nearby.

It's a light-hearted look. The blow is light, but it would be the type to attack with maneuvers and skill.

But there's a lot of waste in that move. As far as it goes, it's a delicacy that shoots a target. It's not completely polished out yet.

"... you're developing"

"Oh. It's definitely developing...... but I like it there"

"Both of you, it's the same thing you're saying, but you must be looking at it?

Mize says. The eyes were glaring at Gran.

Gran ignored Mize's gaze and stared at Salia's chest for a while.

That's when the cheers boil from the students around.

At the end of their gaze were two men.

"It's the Kingsguard Knights' two-top.... awesome, me, I've never seen it live"

Say it the way Gran got excited.

There was the Commander and Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard Knights. Authentic, he is a hero who was active in the war.

"Sure, it was Eusis-Aklein and Braemen-Evance"

"Oh, what the hell, Too Eight. So you're familiar with knights, too?

"No, you know about the name"

Blonde youth Eusis and red-haired youth Bremen.

Both are relatively young. Captain Eusis creates an intimate atmosphere for knights, and he can't stop smiling during the exercise. On the other hand, Braemen looks like everything is serious. The Kingsguard Knights sometimes stand before the masses with the royalty. A captain would be a misdemeanor. The friendly atmosphere of Eusis may be intentionally created in order to be accepted by a little more masses.

"Over there, you have the head and deputy head of the Knights of Zheng Phosphorus. Uh, was it Lady Lauren-Dulight and Lady Garm-Easted?"

Mize points in a different direction and says:

She was right, there were two tops for the Knights of Zhenghong.

Silver-haired man Lauren and dark-haired man Garm. This one, unlike the two top Kingsguard Knights, is both elderly. From its face, Pierced Loch seeps out, and at the same time feels an atmosphere that is admirable and difficult to approach. I hear that the Knights of Zhenghong have many knights knocking up with meritocracy. If you don't take a hard attitude like that, it's an organization that can't show its people.

These four are all men who were fighting on the front lines during the Great War.

So somewhat familiar. That said, you just know it unilaterally from here, and you don't know anything about me over there. When the headquarters of the institution was set up in the Royal Castle, it may have been misplaced several times, but I should have gone by the title Apprentice Knight at that time.

"Hey, are you serious? Those four, they're gonna do a mock fight!?

As Gran said, four men gathered in one place, each with a sword.

Looks like the two Knights' two tops are going to have a two-on-two mock match.

Two Kingsguard Knights to the left. Two of the Knights of Zheng Phosphorus stand on the right.

The two stared at each other for a while - and moved.

"... awesome"

The students admired the sight of the four mock wars.

Naturally, but not at the same level as students. The only magic used is the Melee Martial Art "Reggie", but the movement was early and could hardly be followed with eyes.

"Well, you're moving so fast, you can barely see it."

Mize says bitterly.

"I'm not sure either... maybe the Knights of Zheng Phosphorus are more advantageous so far"

"Oh. The Kingsguard Knights are in the protection"

I agree with Gran.

I just admired the knight. Apparently, Gran can barely see the offense in front of him.

"Well, the attack power of the Knights of Zheng Phosphorus is breaking even globally. Especially the vice president, Mr. Garm, who's famous."

"Deputy Commander, is it? Not the captain."

To Mize's inquiry, Gran, a knight geek, explained that it was hard.

"Overall, Lady Lauren, the captain of the regiment, is better. But only in terms of attack, Master Garm is more famous. Anything, once on the battlefield, they eat on enemies like beasts and continue to fight without resting any serious injuries. Two of them were Mad Warriors (Berserk). In the War, they were so heroic that many times they entrusted them with the task force leader."

Gran's description is correct. Indeed, Garm was well entrusted with the task force leader.

If you keep your mouth shut, you look like a piercing samurai, but if you go through your sword, you expose your beastly and fierce nature. The figure of Garm seen on the battlefield was so wild that he didn't think he was a knight.

"That said, the Kingsguard Knights aren't inferior."

Gran snorts at my whining.

"Right.... The Kingsguard Knights are good at protecting. We don't know yet."

Gran snorts rough and excited.

"You're both seeing proper movement, aren't you? It's amazing..."

Said it in a way Mize was impressed.

Well, I... I look at Elisia.

Only Elysia was gazing in a different direction while everyone was in love with the Knights' two top mock fights.

At the end of her gaze was a slightly fat man with blonde hair.

Roberto-Tergande.

He is the man who embedded Gallia, Elisia's father.

- I can't get my hands on a boulder right now.

Beside Roberto, two members of the Knights of Zhenghong were standing by.

Elicia doesn't have the skills to scratch their guards and kill Roberto.

That's when a loud cheer boils from around.

I hear the mock fight is over. The result is - something like a draw? Apparently we decided to cut each other up where we scratched the sweat from time to time.

Four knights hold their swords and are shaking hands.

The students applauded them like that.

"Uh, I'm excited. But it's a shame you couldn't settle. I just wanted you to keep going."

Gran says.

"Maybe I didn't mean to settle it from the start."

"? What do you mean?

Gran leans his neck on one of my words.

The answer, Mize said.

"Because if you decide to win or lose, depending on the outcome, you're going to flaunt the superiority and inferiority of the two Knights. Regardless of apprenticeship or mid-level knight, those four with high influence over the regiment can't lose cheaply, even in mock warfare"

Gran agrees with Mize's explanation that it is "enough to be".

The exercise continued for a while afterwards, and the students felt the strength of knights defending their country with their skin.

Elisia doesn't move.

There were no gaps in Roberto's security. They always have escorts when they take their seats off.

Mischief is the environment where assassins hide themselves. In front of this masses, Roberto must also be on guard.

Assassination during the exercise is impossible.

In that case...

"... it's night"

I'm sure she'll move this evening.

But I made up my mind yesterday.

I'm not stopping Elysia anymore.

I won't stop (...).

Her hatred is not going to disappear unless she kills Roberto.

So now I realize it's impossible to convince you.

Take your eyes off Elisia and imitate the students around you to tour the knight's exercises.

That's it.

This is the only way.
