The Branded Female Fencer
Knight's Service, Part 9 - Return
No one will ever know that Jake stabbed the Demon King, but there is one person who looks at him from afar.
"Brilliant. It seems that those who tore the demon king apart first can still afford it, and there are those who have sights in the knights of this world"
Sleek hills, it is the sword emperor Titania that looks down on them from that slightly higher hill. At the request of Annomarie, she was conducting a tracking investigation of the Demon King, who had not been recovered or crusaded for a long time. He wanted to capture them alive if possible, and take some of them home with him if not possible to make them materials for research.
This time the Demon King is a relatively recent production, but a substitute for Cerberus accidentally letting him get away with not knowing the nature of becoming a protective color. And he was forced to make the transfer with the Demon King, who was supposed to send him to Krums, and after killing that Demon King, he started acting on his own accord.
But Anomaly loved the individual. Demon King, who performs enough to exceed the maker's expectations, is nothing short of a beloved research subject for Anomaly. Even if there are more than a few problems with the way I love you.
And Anomaly sent Titania. He wants us to report on the ecology of the devil king and record his activities. But no matter how Titania, that can't be easy. Because they've never seen each other before. Now, the sensor is being killed by an invisible demon king, even as it perceives its existence.
When Titania confirmed the existence of the Demon King, the Demon King had already cut with Jake. Titania only knows about it from there. But it was a short battle, but I fully understood the Demon King.
"Combat ability itself is mediocre. But disappearing is funny. Because I didn't know at first either. Besides, at the end of the day, I felt like I spoke a human language, but was it your fault?
But how did that boy realize the presence of the Demon King? You're interested. "
Titania remembered Jake's appearance in the back of his brain, leaving the place behind. There's nothing I can do now. But if there's a chance...
Jake had no reason to know that Titania secretly thought such a thing and was interested in Jake.
Jake was finishing his expedition and returning to Arnelia. He was given a three-day break when he finished reporting on the battlefield, but Lisa seemed to have gone to another request after her return from an expedition in Slasmund, and Jake couldn't find someone he wanted to rest and went to school in Gloria as usual. The fatigue of the expedition came as no surprise, but rather he even wanted to train to make the newly felt bargain his own as soon as possible.
And welcoming Jake back from the expedition is naturally a generous welcome from his classmates. I felt gloomy before I left. Their blame for questioning was also Jake, who I feel a little nostalgic for.
"Jake, how was your expedition?
"It was tough. He could be dying."
Did you defeat the demon?
"Sort of. I can't tell you because it specifically contravenes the policy."
"I hear there's a new little princess Ray fan in Nakahara, but she's not that old with us, is she?
"Sure. I wonder if my back was as long as mine."
"Did you see it!?
"Instead, I was escorting him"
The classroom swoops over Jake's words. Jake finally realized that Jake's casual words set the audience on fire.
"What was it like, Master Ray Fan! It must be so beautiful, huh?
"Besides you're smart too!?
"You shook my hand!
"Rather than that, what happened to the story of getting promoted to regular Temple Knight!?
"... Hilde, I got it!
"Yes no!?
Dute Hilde asked the last question, but dressed to leave the audience to that Dute Hilde to push, Jake left the classroom behind. While Dute Hilde dressed to be squashed by the audience, he turned to Jake as he pulled that audience away and said, "Tell me more about that backdrop, too!" and he didn't even try to hide his wild horse guts.
Jake doesn't have any special feelings about Ray Fan Little Queen. Sure, he was the one who could hang up, and most importantly, Jake admits it, but in the end, there's nothing more to Jake than Lisa. No matter how appealing Ray fans will be, Jake's heart won't move as much as a piece of Kukus leaf.
If you think of only one thing, is it enough that Ray fans felt the last time they were driving the dragon themselves was the most lively? Jake doesn't know why.
Jake broke into it, just like he did before the expedition, using the practice field keys. Then, as you can imagine, Dora is whistling on a tree in the garden.
"Hey, welcome back"
"Right now, it's weird."
Jake climbs on a tree and sits on a branch one step below Dora. Jake rarely speaks to Dora himself, but now he wanted someone quiet to talk to.
"What's your next class?
"Yes, but I decided to skip because it was too boring."
"I knew you were a villain, you"
"What are you gonna do with your next class?"
"I'll join you on the way. Sneak up on me."
When Jake closed his eyes and started taking a nap, Dora thought it was something more suspicious now, such as participation, but dared not pursue it.
Jake woke up all the time, seemingly asleep, but Dora's whistle broke. Look, Dora's reading some kind of book.
"Dora, what are you reading?
"It's a collection of poems." Kings and Heroes by Nickeo ". Don't you know?"
"Not interested"
"Right. He was a poet with the hero king Graham, he was. I've always liked his poetry. It's like, 'Mi! the crown of a glowing king. The name King is only suitable for that one. Don't your enemies and allies kneel before the glory of that one and fall down on their own? He does not want to be illuminated by the sun, and it is the yang that exists to illuminate him. Eventually even its sun, which breathes life into all things, will grasp it in its hands'"
"Oh, my God, you just complimented me"
Jake gave his honest thoughts, but Dora just nearly smiled at Jake.
"Nickeo wasn't just a poet, he was a 'curse man'. the words he speaks directly. That alone attracted people and supposedly had the power to turn fantasies into reality. Being praised by him was like being promised the future.
Besides, the only individuals Nickeo praised were later and earlier heroic kings. Most of the later poems are about nature. I like both of them. "
"Hmm, that's familiar. Sometimes I just call myself an art lover."
"Call yourself, huh? That's terrible. I really like it."
Dora looked lonely, but Jake couldn't be comforted for any reason or intend to withdraw his words. I didn't think Dora was lying, but I didn't even think she told the truth. Jake goes straight into his nap, and Dora keeps reading. One Dora shrugged in it.
"It's peaceful. I hope you and I will always be like this."
Dora looked up at the clear blue sky and narrowed her eyes to the leaking day she gave it from between the leaves.
