"I'll see you first. Dear Valentine Argentia, I never imagined that the clan leading the Silver Wings would come."

Valentine Argentia.

Second brother of the Argentian family, who leads the Silver Wings Knights.

A man who was supposed to inherit his house by the death of his eldest brother, who was his original successor, but for some reason - rumored to have been seriously injured or ill - he was no longer able to assume the duties of chief of the knighthood, nor to show his face to his flesh parents.

That's all Sophia knows about this person.

Perhaps a person with any further information would have a very limited presence among his or her parents and brothers and royal palaces.

"Hmm? Oh, right. This was the first time I had seen him in person. I didn't really feel that way because I was listening to reports from when you were being sent to the Silver Wings Squad."

While dressed differently as a courtesy dress on a white mask, Valentine replied with a strange humane attitude with gestures.

For the minute you're hiding your face, it looks like you're expressing your expression with a trick instead.

"I will come brewing tea. I don't know if it fits your mouth."

"No, I'm fine. We can't expose ourselves in public."

"... excuse me for this. By the way... may I ask your name and identity?

Sophia stopped on the way to try to take a seat and shifted her gaze to the second guest sitting across the diagonal.

That figure, wrapped in a robe scattered like an accessory with suspicious magic props and concealed his face with a foredrop with a pattern of eyes, is sure to think of him as someone involved in magic, no matter what he thinks.

It's not the kind of noir in the White Wolf store or the type of work that stands out like Melissa the Adventurer, but the kind that repeats research that can't be published caged in her own realm.

"Whoa, you shouldn't. I almost forgot. He's Ambrose. It's like being a part of the Knights of Tsui Eye and being my doctor."

In this short statement, Sophia felt at least two different discomforts.

"When it comes to the Cui Eye (Cancer) Knights, we hear they are the Knights who monitor the activities of wizards and alchemists across the continent and serve as a point of contact when they conduct public proceedings. But if you say one way or another..."

"Do I look like I'm being watched? I can't help it."

Valentine flatly responded to Sophia's question, which she could not help but accept as offensive.

"I'm sorry. Though the Blue Peacock Knights, they don't necessarily know all the details about the Knights outside their charge."

"Yeah, so when you've decided on your next assignment, you're going to accumulate enough knowledge and then you're going to leave it to yourself, right? That doesn't change the Knights of Tsui Eye, but they often have too much expertise to handle."

Instead of Ambrose himself continuing his creepy silence, Valentine mouths a commentary to rap under a white mask.

Just hearing the explanation so far made Sophia roughly understand what Valentine was trying to say.

"I see. Knowledge of magic and alchemy is essential in order to correctly monitor the activities of wizards and alchemists. But there are limits to the knowledge a knight can acquire beside his official duties..."

"So bring in magic and alchemy experts as a team member. Ambrose, like your captain, is a knight who was recommended for reclassification without formal coaching. I mean, the main business is wizards."

I had no choice but to be convinced that Captain Luke would be sent out to pick him up.

He also became a knight on the recommendation and was tasked with overseeing the adventurers exploring the dungeons of the land in anticipation of the experience of veteran adventurers.

"So the wizard is the attending physician..."

"My body was untouchable with routine medicine... do I need any more explanation?

"... no. I apologize for the inadvertent question."

"I don't care. It's time to get down to business."

Valentine bent forward as she sat in her chair, poking her elbows at both legs and jaws on the back of her assembled hand.

"The garrison told me. Lord Commander and Garnett have been diving in the dungeon and are absent. You think you're in the middle of an important mission?"

"Sir Garnett has served with great vigour. A little closer to a personal bodyguard than an escort knight."

"That's good. But it's a shame you're not here. I wanted to show you the work of my brother who divided the blood and my future brother-in-law."

Jeez, shaking his neck sideways, Valentine quickly broke his forward bending posture, leaning his center of gravity backwards and depositing his weight on the back of the chair.

Do you really think it's a shame - there's a slight suspicion in Sophia's chest.

I don't mean it's a lie to want to see you work first.

Too bad he's not here... I mean, is it true that being absent was unexpected, a suspicion in the direction.

"... no, wait? If you know where..."

"With all due respect, Master Valentine. As the custodians of the White Wolf Knights' absence, you will not see the entry into the dungeons of those who are neither adventurers nor knights."

A creepy silence blows through between the two.

Sophia kept looking straight at the faceless Valentine, feeling thirsty due to tension.

Definitely. Valentine Argentia wants to go down to the dungeon.

As a big name for that, I must have prepared the constitution of going to see Garnett and Captain Luke.

Inside the mask, Phew, and a short breath leaked, Sophia accidentally put her strength into her spine.

"You're in trouble. Really troubled. Truth be told, I'm here to tell Garnett a serious story."

"... I will keep your message. Sir Garnett will return soon."

"No. We can't risk leaking outside the Silver Knights and the Argentines. In the first place, waiting for their return can be between two (...) degrees (...) hands (...)"

What is going to be a hassle twice. That's what I heard back and you won't get the answer back.

"Because I myself am going to stay here for a while... Oh, to do Yuji in the hot springs, of course. Because I want to reduce the pain in my body. I really don't have any other intentions."

…………

"Anyway, you can wait for their return if you just want to pass on the information, but waiting for it is inefficient. I want to avoid it if I can. Can't you do something about it?

Sophia often immersed herself in thought and thought about what was best in the context of the decisions she could make to herself.

Assuming, I refused because I couldn't help it, I don't think he'd pull back completely.

The possibility of pushing an unscrupulous sidecar and diving into a dungeon, using influence as a member of the Argentian family, or the magical power of a companion, should also be considered.

If you need strength, you can hire an adventurer.

Some of the people who can guide the road will be back on the ground.

If that happens, it will be harder to put their activities under the control of the White Wolf Knights.

"Yes, I came up with something good"

"... what is it"

"I'll stay on the ground. Instead, take this Sir Ambrose to them. You can keep a seal that spells out a secret to him."

"So... but the Cui Eye Knights are in no way involved in this dungeon..."

Valentine has struck a decisive hand in trying to control Sophia's hasty destinations.

"I can make a connection right now. The White Wolf Knights sent by the Cucumber Eye Knights... actually, Sir Ambrose is their most prominent candidate."

"What...!?

"He's been putting my reply on hold because he has my treatment, but if he shakes his neck vertically, he's moving on to the point where it's an official decision as soon as possible... I wonder?

Sophia became obsessed with objections.

Essentially, the choice of personnel to be seconded by each Knights was not something that could be rejected unless there were so many moral issues.

Otherwise, Captain Luke, who hopes to have a same-sex knight as a prefabrication to his fiancé, must have returned himself (Sofia) early to seek another knight.

"... ok. However, your actions alone are unacceptable because of the various dangers involved. You will act as part of a party that we will prepare."
