Legend

1791 words

Having played well with Seto and Yellow, Ray was walking down the hall trying to get back to his room with his maid.

"Nevertheless, you don't have anything in particular to do when you go back to your room like this"

The big downside to this world for Ray was the lack of entertainment.

Books are quite mysterious, but most of them are practical books like monster drawings.

There are few comics, novels, etc. that Ray watched when he was in Japan.

There is no such thing as a picture book, so there is no reason at all.

Otherwise, entertainment such as TV, DVD, BD and games does not exist as a matter of course.

There is a kind of theatre, but sometimes that's not Ray's hobby, and it's not Ray's preference to dress or have a kind of shiatsu.

"I hear Master Ray is a pretty skilled adventurer, and why don't you take a peek at the Knights' training?

Through her association with Seto and Yellow, her tone towards the maid Ray is softer, albeit slightly.

To the words of such a maid, Ray thinks of what to do.

(Knight, huh. Elaine says the army of the Duke of Keller's army is quite elite. Especially since we talked about the Knights captain being pretty strong, do you ever try to fight that guy?

I didn't think so, but I don't think anyone in the position of Knights Commander would take it as soon as Ray asked me to do a mock fight.

(When that happens, do you want me to mix it with training normally?... especially a mock fight or something)

Keeping your body moving wasn't such a bad story for Ray, either, more than there's anything in particular to do.

"Okay. So... uh... you think we should tell Elaine what's going on around there?

"No, Master Ray says you don't mind if he moves freely, so I was wondering if you'd mind."

"Really? Well, if you say so, show me where you're training."

Thus, Ray was led by a maid to the place where the Knights were training.

"Heh... you're very keen on it"

The Rays arrived at a training ground at the Duke of Keller's residence.

It's not intense but it's snowing, and if you train in such an environment, as is natural, your body will be cold.

Sometimes the snow also slipped my legs, and I could see one of the knights and thinkers running the fact training field falling at the tip of Ray's gaze.

It was Ray watching those knights, but he stops that movement when he sees the man running at the head of the fudge knight.

Obviously, because I understood that only the man was special.

No, Ray's eyes could see that all the men who seemed to be knights had the right skill.

But... only a man in his late thirties, running the lead, obviously moves his body differently.

Waving hands, moving feet, moving centers of gravity… all insignificant movements, but overwhelmingly superior to the others is understandable to Ray.

That would be like Ray being able to spot it.

Nevertheless, it was clear from the look of those running that the person was respected and strongly trusted by those running with him.

Looking at the knights running with the maids that way, the knights eventually begin to notice the presence of the two, whether they noticed such a ray and maid gaze, or whether it was simply noticeable that the maid in maid clothes was outside while the snow was shining.

Naturally in such a situation, it is only natural that the person running at the head of the knights also notices the Rays... unexpectedly, the man and Ray's gaze met.

Moments, something like ready-to-see floats in the ray.

(I've seen him somewhere... there is, like?

That's what Ray thought because he had fought that person before when he could rub it with the Azot Chamber of Commerce, but there's no way Ray noticed that.

He was a man of the Duke of Kelp's army, and it was there during the war against the Bestian Empire? I could only predict that.

... It's not surprising that the person could not imagine doing something to help the Azotto Chamber of Commerce on purpose and move to confirm the person named Ray who heard from Elaine.

No, Ning Ro, it would be stranger to be able to imagine such a thing.

"Um, what's running the lead?

Ray asks the maid, not sure, even though he expects it to be probably the Knights Chief or something.

The maid, too, would soon have understood who Ray was talking about.

I smile proudly and open my mouth.

"That one is Master Filma Dezier, the Knights of the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel. Alongside Master Elaine, you are said to be a key figure in the Duke of Kelp's army."

Ray feels a strong trust in the words of the maid who tells him so.

I'm guessing that's all a person called Filma is a trusted figure in the Duke of Kelp territory.

(Is that the film? Yeah, with that said, you met in the war against the Bestian Empire.... I've heard a bit about you before from Elaine... I see you're a rumored person)

Ray had heard several stories about the person from Elaine, who had been acting with him here lately.

The maid described herself as alongside Elaine, but Elaine tells me that she is more in character than she is.

Most of all, it was only a story of being a commander, and I also affirmed that I would be better off if I were to fight purely as an individual.

But Filma, the Knights Commander of the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel, and Elaine, who essentially leads the Elaine Escort Knights.

Beyond being the Knights Commander on both sides, it becomes more important to have the same personal strength… in some cases, more command than that.

In terms of your command, it was said that you are not sure that even a genius skin Elaine can always beat Filma.

... Of course, just because you can't always win doesn't mean you'll always lose.

As I remember Elaine's words, eventually the knight led by Filma stops running.

I guess running like this was still some light prep exercise or something. Not even some of the knights are breathless.

"Now I'm going to do a bare gesture!... and I just wanted to say..."

Usually, I guess I'll just do the bareback like this.

But what came out of Filma's mouth was a different word than usual.

The knights turn a surprise gaze at that, but Filma never realizes what those knights look like, and still points that gaze at Ray.

"Now comes Lord Ray, who has a deep red alias on this occasion. Because of this, I would like him to attend the training as well... don't you mind? Oh, I'm Filma Dezier, head of the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel. It's a pleasure to see Lord Ray again with his deep red alias."

As for the content, it was a suggestion that you wouldn't mind letting Ray participate in the training, but that is essentially equal to an order.

If it's normal, this is all the knights... there are nearly a hundred knights, so it's no surprise that some people are dissatisfied with the language of such a film.

But that's only a story if it's an ordinary knighthood, and here we are, the Knights of the Duke of Keller, one of the finest warriors in the kingdom of Mireana.

There is a gathering of people who have absolute trust in the Knight Commander's film, and no one says no if that film says no.

... some of them either have the effect of making statements like the esteemed Filma is buying Ray, or they are turning a dissatisfied gaze at Ray.

I was wondering if you were a man worth mentioning that much.

That would be the gaze from emotions that are half as close to jealousy.

Still, there was no such person to actually speak of that dissatisfaction than Filma had decided, though.

"Now, on the mock battle... that's only if Lord Ray the Deep Red wants it. Well, what do you say? We're going to do a mock fight, but are you going to join us?

Challenging, fierce, thoughtful.

Naturally, Ray wasn't going to say no to the words of Filma, who was going to turn his gaze around with such strange colors.

In the first place, I came all the way to the place where the Knights were training in order to be free, so I couldn't possibly be invited to the training taking place there and make the choice to say no.

"I told you a little during the war with the Bestian Empire, so you don't seem to need to introduce yourself. I just had nothing to do with it, and you're welcome to mix it up with the training of the Knights of the Dukes of Kelp, which is rumored to be elite."

Unlike the dinner party Ray attended yesterday, his outfit is also his usual dragon robe.

Other than that, the usual outfit, starting with the Slapenil shoes... yes, it looks like it can be handled right away whenever there is a fight.

More than that, it never meant I wasn't equipped enough to play mock warfare.

To Ray's motivational words, not only film but also the face of the Knights turn a variety of gazes to Ray.

What's there is a belligerent, favorable, jealous, ridiculous and a gaze with all sorts of emotions.

Only the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel, considered one of the most elite in the Kingdom of Mireana, naturally the knights who belong there beat the adventurers and mercenaries around them by force.

Not to mention that it's the film that usually trains those people, so strength would be extrapolating.

(Plus, Gilm means it's already in the winter when it snows, and considering there are guys who can train and stuff, this Knights is going to be working out more than that)

Not all Gilm adventurers don't train at all in the winter.

No, it would be a minority not to train at all, Ning Ro.

Still, compared to spring to fall, the quality and time of training really tended to drop.

Adventurers who were unable to save money over the winter would take on crusade requests even if it was snowing, so such people would continue to fight in action with nature, and their arms would be dull.

"So... Lord Ray, is it possible to do a mock fight soon?

"Oh, I have no problem. Just... what are we gonna do with the weapons? You know my alias, which naturally means you know my weapon, too, right?

Ray's weapon has two long objects: a spear of dusk on Death Size.

It's a two-spear stream that fights with one hand each.

However, if it is a frequently used spear, the Great Sickle, which has few users, does not exist as a weapon for simulated warfare.

When that happens, should we just fight with spears? That's what I thought, Ray...

"No, we always use our own weapons in our mock warfare."

"Heh... again, you're so authentic"

"Naturally. If you don't train that seriously, you're going to make a fatal mistake in action."

Ray also knows what Filma wants to say.

I know... though training, using your original weapon with a blade means actually hurting your opponent with a few mistakes.

That's not like a scratch, and in some cases it wouldn't be strange to be a fatal wound.

If you say so, it was a surprise to Ray to get that far with training.

(No, I guess that's not what I'm supposed to say)

When training battles with Elaine and Vihera, Ray and the others are using their own weapons, so Ray's thoughts are natural.

Vihera, who uses her own hands and feet as a weapon, was still difficult to prepare weapons for mock warfare, given the use of special weapons like the Great Sickle and the Concatenated Sword.

Ray's death size, in particular, has a variety of effects as a magic item and is very different in user-friendliness even when poorly equipped with weapons for mock warfare.

Whatever, and.

Ray takes the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of the mysteries if that's what Filma says.

The moment I saw it, everyone but Filma breathed in unison.

Death size and dusk spear. Either one of them is top notch... no, it's a magic item worth more than that.

It would be more impossible not to be surprised if such a substitute suddenly appeared two in front of you.

"I'm going to stop for an inch, but still, I can't say it's absolute. Still, you sure you don't mind?

"Oh."

Filma is the only one who replies that way to Ray without looking particularly upset, even though the other knights say they are surprised.

That's as if Ray knew the weapon in his hand.

(I don't think this is the first time I've seen a spear of dusk, well, okay)

Even with such doubts, Ray walked out toward the Knights with his weapon in his hand, if the film was to snort.
