Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

June 5, 7451

I came back to Beglitz.

Because of the presence of Uranus (excuse), I wanted to ride back from the village without using the carriageway railway, and take a leisurely ride back somewhere...

Beglitz only had a valute who was good at putting together tax lending diagrams in carriages owned by the government and the Knights, and a railroad car for transporting cows and horses had arrived in the village last night, as planned.

He left the village in the morning for Gull and arrived at Beglitz at 3: 00 p.m.

Just in case, when I show my face to the government, I can see that Mizuchi and Claw have not returned from Berkud yet.

Moreover, if we were able to capture the Horned Bear well, we would have a lot of time on the return journey, so don't worry.

I went back to the mansion and soaked in the bath as I gave up the painful Arson, and it was sundown.



7 June 7451

Yesterday was a Saturday, so I didn't show my face to the Knights, and I had a lot of administrative approvals, so I didn't let all the Knights' officials who asked me to meet them say "tomorrow."

Then, when the government finished the rest of the paperwork yesterday and moved to the Knights during the lunch break.

Lord Commander!

As I walked through the gate at the greeting of the guard, Lindy, a hostage sent by Belinda Zahm, came in with her escort, Sir McLean.

Bloodthirsty guards, direct suit or assassination.

Of course.

Assassination is common, but direct prosecution is also a serious crime.

In the first place, it is a very disrespectful act for a member of the Knights Regiment who is not a direct report to approach and speak to the Commander of the Knights Regiment without an appointment other than a mission, and it is a linguistic mistake.

It's not so easy for an army on Earth to approach and speak to officers in garrisons and base command classes.

Not to mention that they are allowed to participate in the Knights' training and are not even regular Knights, so it is only natural for the Guards to act.

As for me, I don't want to have a loosely disciplined, sloppy army that allows senior officers and junior soldiers to have casual conversations like some comic book or fiction novel.

That said, she's not a full knight, she's a resident, she's a guest.

That's why it may be difficult to apply the Knights' rules as they are.

By the way, it's the lowest associate in the current status, but it's also troublesome in that regard because it's backed by one of the most prominent Dukes of Zam in Japan.

It was fine to ignore the rules, but the look of desperate appeal also stuck in my heart.

After all, Sir McClane, the guard knight, is also attached, and since he is also a regular knight belonging to the Duke of Zam, I understand that Lindy's behavior is a sideways act.

He stops at the rushing guards as he yells at them.

"Um, this is training for ME...!"

C 'mon, first of all, it's only natural to say, "I apologize for the rudeness with which I've called in so much time."

I send Lord McClane a gaze of reproach, but he keeps his face off without panicking.

I thought it might have been like that before, but I understood it very well.

Sir McClane has no affection for Lindy.

At the same time, it looks like you've been licking me for a while.

Could you wait a moment?

She bowed slightly, turned her eyes to Lindy, and silenced her. She stood up and looked at Sir McClane.

I don't know if I should tell you now.

"Hey, you."

My actions and remarks seem surprising, and Sir McClane looks at me with a disgusted face.

"Is that...?"

"Can't the Duke of Zam be satisfied with the education of a soldier?" Or sabotage? "

He asks me to question it with a stern look on his face.

"No? No, that's not true. Nothing like that..."

In that case, the Knights of Zarum will allow this behavior.

"Huh. In that case...... Deputy Lord Zam and I are not officially affiliated with your Lordship's Knights......"

Ahhh.

That's what I'm talking about.

It would be a bad idea.

"I see. Then you are allowed to talk to another Knight Commander, who is not officially affiliated, as soon as he approaches the Knights' premises." I get it. "

With that, I dropped my hips again and turned my gaze to Lindy.

I've lost interest in Lord McClane.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." So, was it training for ME? "

I said with a smile, but Lindy looked frightened.

"Um..."

She said she wanted to say something about the Emui training, but Lindy is reluctant to say anything further.

Yeah?

"Um..."

My eyes are swimming.

It seemed to understand that I had done something out of common sense as a knight belonging to the Knights, and that it was outrageously disrespectful.

But Lindy didn't ask Lord McClane for help, and she managed to get her gaze on me.

"I'm sorry, my lord." I apologize for my disrespect and that of the Knights Guard. ”

Saying that, I bowed my head honestly.

No, it's not your fault.

The bad thing is that you didn't just educate it or try to stop it.

Well, I didn't seem to confirm in advance that what I was trying to do was the right thing to do as a knight member, so I think it's up to Lindy herself to do 20% to 30%.

Although it is before adulthood, given the age of 13, excuses such as not listening or not knowing do not apply.

You should be ashamed of yourself for checking with someone beforehand to see what you should do to talk to me.

At the same time, I'm an aristocrat in the first place, and I want you to take responsibility for it.

It's only natural to wear a chan before you realize it.

That's right, it's the first time a losing point seems to have been lost.

It's the first time, so maybe we should miss it.

I'm not going to bully you.

"Um... well, can I have your time later?"

“Okay, I think it will be around this evening, is that all right?”

Yes.

Well, I'll use it later.

Hmm.

It doesn't matter if you're shy or flattering, but I never let my tears break.



In the evening.

I'm sipping a cold cup of tea on the high-class sofa in the Knights' office.

Her request was simple.

I was asked to participate in the Emui training that began this month.

I knew this during the interview because I had asked Valute and the others.

Of course, Carl, who had come with her as a hostage, was too young to have the skills or physical strength he needed.

In addition to being an important customer, it is impossible to allow people to participate in Emui training so that they can even think of death during training.

― ― At the beginning of this month, Emui training began as scheduled.

The first thing we do is a health test.

Those who cannot pass the prescribed value here cannot participate in the training itself.

Those who want to join the Knights' Young and Slaughterers (Slaughter's) will be hung here for the first time.

This time, all 14 applicants passed.

Well, I chose someone who seemed to be able to pass at the first barrier, so it's only natural.

Of course, the iron bars set up in the Knights' training ground stood out.

Lindy, Carl, and their escort knights woke up in the barracks.

Naturally, he said, "What is that for?"The question is sent to each guard knight, and the knights ask the same question to the sergeant who prepared the equipment for the health measurement.

When the two hostages heard the answer they had returned, they asked them to take the exam themselves.

However, Sir Valute and the faculty refused to take the examination without any explanation.

Yep.

To be honest, it's unlikely that they'll pass the first health test... Rather, it's a dream that even the active Knights have been selected to take the test, and they will pass the test at the moment.

Therefore, I think it would have been good if I had passed the exam and given up.

Incidentally, when I asked Valute and the others why they refused to take the exam, they said, "Because I am not an official League Count Knights, and if there is any problem with the children I have, it may become a problem later."

I think that the first reason to be convinced is to be convinced.

And there was another reason: "I want to prevent the possibility of leakage of various reference values related to the ME qualification, and the passing person will be given the gun license", rather, it seems that this was the main reason.

As far as Valute and the others were concerned, since they did not know how many years to keep Lindy and Carl, they decided that if they were allowed to take the exam at one time, they would consider the possibility of passing the exam eventually.

Even if it's good, if you refuse to take the exam, it won't hurt to explain the reason for the appearance.

If you can tell the children directly, you can tell the Knights Guard.

Therefore, I tried to get Lindy to give up the exam by giving her face-to-face reasons.

However, she did not give up and pleaded for an examination.

For a moment, I thought, "I can't take it anyway, so I'll let you take it." But then I realized that if you asked me, I would be able to overturn the decision of Valute and the others.

Anyway, it is better not to make as many precedents as possible for taking the exam.

Thinking like that, unlike adults, my body hasn't fully developed yet.I can't this year, but I said that I could take the exam next year, and this time I succeeded in getting you to give up.

By the way, since Carl is younger than Lindy, he may want to think about it a little bit when he was first turned down by Valute and give up participation by saying, "I'll get older and start over."

Even though she had heard that, she was the only one who was allowed to participate.

Oh, yeah.

I will not reflect on this matter and set an age limit for taking the exam.

Some races boast a fine physique, even before adulthood, such as the Lion Man (Rios) and Tiger Man (Tiger Man).

Besides, this time, the test is not limited to Knights (if you're not a Knight, you'll need a recommendation from the nobility), and I'm going to include the firing of real guns in the test items in the future.

No matter what kind of person had the special skill of shooting, I wanted to open the door itself.

... when the time comes to discover the existence of such a powerful weapon as a "gun", you can even take it as a hostage.

Even though I had such feelings, there was also a feeling of "troublesome smell", and I couldn't stop a small sigh from coming out.

From the training ground, you can hear the sounds of Tris and the others through the open windows.

Speaking of which, I haven't heard about their training yet.

How did Buddy get together?

Somehow he got up from the sofa with a cup of tea and headed to the window.

The front of the window is not a training ground, but I thought if I stick my face out and look to the side, I might see Trainee Emui.

At that time, the office door was knocked on.

"Commander, this is Sergeant Firefreed and Sergeant Akdam."

Shit, those guys.

I've got a trainee to meet with the Commander of the Knights!

And I thought I'd see you!

"Well, maybe it's just a visit after work..."

I can imagine what I have to do.

Without knowing it, I put the cup on the desk.

When I went to the door, it opened a little and said, "A trainee is not eligible to take the exam for Emily.If you regret it, you must become a regular knight!said, and closed the door with a bang.



June 8, 7451

In the afternoon.

Daybus Kingdom Marquis Razod Territory.

Capital of the province of Kelsas.

Supplies from home have arrived at the positions of the Royal Army of Daybus, led by Alec, who is stationed there.

Cells also reported swords, food, and supplies such as cannon bullets, gunpowder, and guns that were newly produced in time.

"What...?"

Alec read the report alone in the private room of the lord's palace, but his eyes sharpened as he followed the letter.

After reading through the report, I called in three of my reincarnators (except for Jack).

"... read this report first."It's from the cell. "

Mule, Lane, and Hexer receive the report in response to Alec's words.

It's Rombert's [Japanese]?

I knew you were there.

"You're a good knight..."

The three of them read the document in such a way as to keep their foreheads together.

I don't care whether the report is for intelligence protection or not. Recent reports are in Lagdarios, and the same number of reports were written in Japanese.

"You mean you've been selling this for a fight?"

"Evidence that we attacked?"

"What are you talking about?" Did you hear that? "

Alec shook his head to the side in response to Hexar's question.

"I've never heard of it..."

Then I shrugged my shoulders with my mouth open.

"If I had known, I would have stopped.Anyone would be angry if she attacked my wife. "

Everyone nodded with a distorted face at Alec's words.

He is to marry the daughter of the Duke of Dantes next year.

But it's strange that you can't present it while saying that you have evidence, right?

No one reacts to Lane's words.

Is it because it's a natural question?

"No, your Majesty's soldiers are finally trying to get rid of the messengers from Lombert."The war is inevitable, and I think we're going to buy some time, so I know that.The Ronbelt side would have expected that, so they wouldn't have let us have the evidence from the beginning for fear of being destroyed together, right? ”

Muir's words were persuasive.

"I guess so." But that means.... "

Alec is going to succeed him, but anyone can predict the future.

Ronbelt, and Marquis Greedo, at the very least, has a hunger for being able to split the pain of war with the Kingdom of Daybus.

Besides, as part of the post-war process, I can only assume that the Daybus side will try to find out when, where, and how to prepare the evidence.

"But in the first place, is it true that this daughter of the Lombard family was attacked and gone missing?"

Hexer asked a particular question.

"That's... it must be true."It doesn't matter if the culprit is from here or not.

“Hmm. There's information on the next page that it's been flipped.Romberg's daughter... seems to be a bastard without official royalty, but it would be nice to see it as true, including the descent to marry Marquis Greedo. "

Mule and Alec said, and Hexar shut up exhaling, prompting Lane to turn ahead of the report.

"But that's Marquis Greedo, isn't it?"the dragon slayer that stung the dragon in the labyrinth..... "

"Even the blue dragon in the Dart Plains..."

"Was it a rebirth..."

“That's right, I didn't think it was a rebirth because it was bright red in the past.”

Someone talks about a marquis named Greedo, but the report turns a new page.

"I see. His Majesty the King and the Minister of Foreign Affairs (father) were on their way to get rid of it..."Well, speaking of the enemy state, I don't know, but I don't understand killing an official messenger. "

That's right, but Cellulose and the others helped me, and I didn't sell my gratitude to the reborn [Japanese]?

"I see. I'm sure they understand that, and at least the [Japanese] won't be the decisive groove."

Alec was listening to the three of them with his arms crossed, but he reached out to the report and seized the page.

"I guess that's true.By the way... do you think we're developing guns over there or not? "

The room was filled with silence at the words of the prince, whom they wore the head.

Because there is no answer.

"If you have a pessimistic expectation, it's not strange that you have a firecracker similar to the one we made."After all, there's a rebirth over there, and I've lived until now... but if you think about metallurgical techniques on the boulders, I don't think you can make a backdoor gun using medicine.The accuracy of the workpiece is wrong, and the parts of the detonator are disposable, regardless of the medicine.In the first place, how much does it cost to throw away expensive metal parts and detonators that require delicate workmanship from the cost of materials? "

Apparently, the mule in the ranks answers on behalf of the three of them.

"If you're going to make a hopeful observation... no, I'm sure this is the right answer, but it's hard to say that the Marquis of Greedo was originally an adventurer."However, from the Marquis's standpoint, you can also see that there are costs involved in development. "

Everyone nodded at Muir's answer.

"On top of that, I think it is reasonable to think that it is being developed.The reason is... that I don't think that Alec or Celle, who started development nine years ago, were able to compete with him in terms of cost. "

Everyone nodded again.

"Even so, it was about two years ago that a decent object was created... In short, even we, who were given a lot of money, took six, no, nearly seven years to develop."If you think about designing guns and arranging craftsmanship, I don't think Sen is able to do it.It's funny that if it's done, it doesn't convey any traces or information that was used.Even our information networks are quite taut... "

"No, we also struggled with the location of the test, payment, and leakage of gun information."This aus is going to be a trump card.I think it's possible they were hiding something.If you were an adventurer diving in a labyrinth, you might have been shooting in a labyrinth. "

Hexer's words are backed by facts.

They themselves fired guns in the labyrinth of Bencherish.

In addition, the difficulty of carrying heavy objects and the sound of firing attracted monsters because of the portability, and I don't want to carry guns into the labyrinth casually in the future.

In the first place, since the presence of guns had come to light, it was also my intention to test them during the development of new guns during the day on the Knights' premises.

"Secondly, there is the problem of gunpowder."It has taken many years to find a formula that works even with cells that knew the ingredients, and research is still ongoing.I didn't bring out the dead, but Lane was there and he cured me right away. "

It is true that without Lane, many people would have died.

The number of slaves who lost their fingers might not be enough for a platoon.

That much development cost is not an easy amount to pay no matter how good an adventurer.

The smokeless gunpowder produced by Al is more flexible than the so-called black gunpowder developed by Daybus.

Since it is a single-based gunpowder based on nitrocellulose, even if the mixing ratio of the material is slightly strange, there is no significant change in the performance of the gunpowder as a bullet propellant.

Not very suitable for use as an explosive, but it is a matter of use.

In contrast, black gunpowder, when used as a bullet propellant, requires a subtle change in the mixing ratio considering the caliber of the gun and the bullet weight used. However, even if it is used as a mere explosive, there is a slight problem with the mixing ratio, it will perform quite easily.

“I see. I'm glad everyone was so calm.”

Alec turned the report to his satisfaction.

There is a description of what we were just discussing.

Apparently, I saw something almost identical to what Cell and Tsette had imagined.
