Otto —— As the referee took him into the Knight of Lights garrison, all the knights there took the salute pose of stopping all movements and facing the referee, raising their right elbow to shoulder height and putting their fist on their right chest, no matter what they were working or training.
When the referees said, "Easy," they broke the pose and went back to their original work, but then they glanced at me and said, "What is this dirty little boy?".
The Knight of Light Kingdom is, as its name suggests, the kingdom of the Knight. This is not about the title "Knight", but actually "Knight", meaning "soldier on horse", and all Knight Knight Knight Kingdom troops must be able to fight on horses.
Of course, knights have ranks, and I'm not familiar with them, but referees are the top knights.
"Easy, easy."
And I kept saying -- I don't know if there were three digits —— I came to a tent that looked like a referee. A refreshing tent with only 10 simple chairs on a large table.
When I was recommended to sit on the chair, I kind of got tired and wanted to fall asleep on the spot. However, the first Wilhelms involved stood still at the entrance to the tent.
"I can't entertain you because of the front lines. Forgive me, guest."
"I don't mind staying long."
I said, "Do you want to refuse the referee's offer...?" and the people in the field were horrified. It's really annoying.
"The Count of Sirius said that he was staying at the" Below the Moon Beauty "in particular, so he used it. You can wait until I hear back."
"In the meantime, are you here for questioning?
"Wouldn't it punish you to hang out with the chatter of a leisurely old man?
When the referee brought a pot that seemed to have been boiled with magic equipment, she poured tea into the cup from there. Eh-- I thought it was green tea that came out of there. The fragrance was the same as that of Japanese tea.
And above all, if there is an analysis of [Mora Vientiane], it is said to be Japanese tea.
"Unlike tea consumed in the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan... our tea is also quite good."
It is a mismatch that is poured into the tea cup, but that green tea that is served in front of me and makes me feel hot. There are fine tea leaves dancing. I swallowed a chestnut and took a teacup. [M]
"You may think it's hot tea on this hot day, but it's good to go into the shade and drink hot tea. I'm getting sweaty. I hope you like it so much."
It was so hot that when I swallowed it all at once, I felt the refreshing fragrance coming out of my nose. Ah... green tea. I can't believe we met here.
"Can I have another drink?
"Of course not."
Waiting for it to pour, I'll drink half again. [M]
Because I was desperate to live, because I had harsh days, because I had a long life in the world - I wasn't surprised by the nostalgia about Japanese food, but I drank green tea and suddenly missed Japanese food.
I've heard about the smell of soy sauce in Japanese bodies, but I want to eat something with a soy sauce taste...
"I've received enough hospitality."
I drank green tea with pleasure, and the referee felt a little better. [M] Tea is good, right?
When the referee lowered her hips across from me,
"Was Uncle Mule breathtaking?
"He's healthy enough to kill and not die. He said he wanted to come here."
"Honestly, what do you say? What is the difference in power between Wilhelm and the rest of us and the Border Count?"
…………
"I don't mind being frank with you. So don't be upset or renege on your promise to bridge Count Sireese."
"... hah. Yes, I'm sorry, but I don't think it's enough at all."
"Huh?"
The referee raised her eyebrows and looked surprised, but the killing air flew again from the people lined up at the entrance of the tent. Don't you feel bad...?
Then the referee tells the people in the field.
"Are you going to mud my face? In general, the loser would be howling when he made the loser look so angry. I'm sorry, Lord Reggie. They were good, but they had little experience fighting outside the country, and they were frogs in wells. This must have been a good medicine."
I don't mind that, but I really want you to leave me alone. [M] Yes, sir.
"But Lord Reggie is awesome. I didn't know you could dodge that Wilhelm poke."
"If I hadn't, I'd be dead, right?
"... I stopped my voice slightly slower. Wilhelm, come here."
A neutral aesthetic with a smooth face. I think handsome is cheating because it becomes a painting even if it is not smooth (the second cheating frame after Count Siries).
"Apologize."
"... but, referee..."
It was when I was about to say it.
"Knights, don't make excuses!!"
The rising referee knocked his fist on Wilhelm's cheek.
An old man doesn't cheat on me. [M] The referee has a steel muscle under his clothes. And that big fist. Though still young, the tall Wilhelm fell to the ground for a moment, floating through the universe.
Everyone seemed a little nervous about this, but nobody could move.
"I'm sorry too...."
"Apologize to me. I owe you an apology, Lord Reggie."
"... I'm sorry."
Holding the beaten cheeks, she stood up and lowered her head. Hell-like silence comes and I can't say anything.
No... even if you do that. What am I supposed to do with this air?
"Will you accept my apology?"
"Yes, I accept"
"Great, Wilhelm. --Stay back."
Walking fluffily, Wilhelm also stood still at the entrance to the tent. I'm not treating you. There he is.
"I didn't realize that Reiji had fought so hard that he was going to kill the opponent and use 'Instant Step'."
Once again, the people in the field bother with the word "hands-off" said by the referee.
I mean, if you kill or get hurt, it's just that you didn't do it because you can rot. You already knew that.
This man, the skill of that mysterious voice —— perhaps a gift —— is called his own flesh, quite strong.
But I should have been able to learn thoroughly at [Mori Lu Vientiane], so I'll check back later. It seems like it can be used when it's time. And Wilhelm's "Momentary Step"? Something like that.
"But why did Count Siries let go of such a good escort as Lord Reggie? So, Lord Reggie is not coming to the Knight of Light kingdom? I'll recommend myself. Not only will you become a knight, but you'll also be in a high position."
"No, I refuse that."
"Is that because you want to continue your adventure?
"Yes"
After that, I felt relieved.
I see. Reggie was still the same person who was at the Adventurer Party "Silver Balance."
The referee continued as if nothing could be done. But...
"But it's not weird. I heard that the Silver Balance boy was sucked in by the other side of the Red Gate... that's how he was right in front of me. I don't know what that means.
It was already a tone full of conviction.
This man knew from the beginning. It is a lie that I am a member of the "Silver Balance" and a "Frontier Master".
Even Caravan's Yua knew that there were adventurers working with Lucha and said they were being pursued. Then everyone here will know that the "Silver Balance" is being pursued by the Lev Magic Empire.
A different air flows between those behind me. [M] If you make a strange move, it's a sword-swallowing atmosphere that is likely to hit you all at once.
(I knew the referee was an old man... and this man had talked to me from the beginning to make me say "adventurer" from my mouth)
Together with bitter regret of being hit, I think.
How should I answer that?
