The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War ~And Thus, I Became The Strongest Knight Disciple (♀) in The World~

The Arena was delivered to an ancient mansion in a back alley several miles from Nork Boulevard.

Nork Boulevard is the most shopping neighborhood in King's Landing, and faces the Royal Theatre, where Ingris and his colleagues practice.

The boulevard is gorgeous, but behind its light there are just as many shadows.

The Arena seems to be living with the shopkeeper on the main street.

The man who looked like the shopkeeper shouted the furiest when he came back to the arena.

"You walked nowhere without a job, damn it!

My hands flew flat without putting in my hair.

Ha ha!

Ingris grabbed his wrist and stopped it before it hit the arena.

"Please don't do this."

"Gu...!?"

"I'm sorry I took Arena with me. Hit me if you want."

"... shit. Your sister's clothes belong to the Knight Academy, right? I don't want to be seen by the knights of the future."

The man clasped his tongue.

I wonder if it was because of these circumstances that she seemed hesitant for a moment when she invited Arena.

Still, I was really interested in the manicure bird (flygear) and thought that if I missed this opportunity there might be no next time, so I guess I followed it. I did something pathetic.

"... I'm already staring at you."

Raffinia sends a piercing gaze at the man.

Buying people sucks! You might want to stay calm if you don't curse.

Considering the Arena, it's not good to make too much noise in front of you.

"Um, Master. Can I talk to you for a second?

"What is it? Please hurry up."

"Before that, can Arena come back?

"Oh, come on, get some sleep! It's early tomorrow...!

"Ha, yes...! Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Good night..."

And the Arena enters the building.

At the back, I saw Arena and her near-age children watching us in the distance.

I wonder if they're in the same situation as Arena.

Looks like some of the kids said the Star Princess looked bad before.

Apparently, I ran into them while they were out there doing something for you.

"Ah! Wait Arena....!

And Raffinia summons the Arena like she remembers something.

"What's wrong, Onee-chan?

Um, this...

It is a ticket to a performance at the Royal Theatre from tomorrow.

Count Weissmar gave each of them to Ingris.

I left the Marquis of Billford and my mother with me, but I still had them.

"We're going to do it tomorrow at the Royal Theatre. The Knight Academy will help us get to the stage. Why don't you come and have a look?

"Eh...!? Are you guys leaving? Wow..."

The Arena sparkled, but the ticket Raffinia was about to offer was picked up by a man and pushed back.

He doesn't have to.

"... why!? Can I give you a little rest and let you breathe...?!

The man sighs hah.

"I don't know what you're saying, but I know."

And it was the same ticket to the show Raffinia tried to give to the arena that he took out with his hand in his pocket.

There are quite a few. Do you have an arena or all the kids?

"Ah...! That's..."

"I told you. If there's anyone else you want, you can do it."

"I'm sorry..."

Raffinia gets smaller and smaller.

"Hey, guys! Get back in your room and go to bed! That's good!"

When the man screams, the children scatter together.

"Hey guys, good luck! I'm looking forward to it!

The Arena leaves a message at the end.

"... so? What do you want to hear?

"No, nothing. I'm sorry."

I was actually going to ask him how much he needed if he wanted to run for the arena.

I mean, I'm willing to give you a fair price to set the Arena free.

I felt it was too early to hear that.

"... then I'll give you one."

"What is it?

"We're definitely on land elsewhere, but we're buying them and letting them work. But if you're going somewhere, you're going to sell the kids from their parents. If I don't buy it, I'll cut my mouth off, and even if I get killed, it won't be funny. The Magic Stone Beast will kill you, and the poor will kill you, too. Well, the Knight Academy students will have a lot of noble ladies, so you may not even imagine it, but please understand that.

I mean, it's necessary, it's evil.

How it is perceived also depends on individual subjectivity.

You can either nod and silence, or you can say no to bad things.

"Thank you for your input."

In the case of Ingris - of course - we should listen.

Because I only fit Raffinia with things other than fighting.

Democracy, assertion, good and evil are unnecessary for Ingris.

Just strong enemies, delicious rice, beautiful clothes, and then Raffinia on the side.

"... thank you."

Although Raffinia looks dissatisfied, she seems to have swallowed more words.

Let's go home, Lani.

Yeah, yeah...

I boarded the Star Princess again.

"... haaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When the two of them were alone, Raffinia sighed.

"That's right. It's a problem for youth."

It may be depressing for Raffinia, but as for Ingris, I would like to welcome what happened today. I'm sure it will lead to the human growth of Raffinia.

"Unlike the youth I know..."

"Reality is hard and hard. In the meantime, let's get back to work tomorrow, shall we? Should I entertain you in the arena? Mother, Marquis, aunt."

Yeah, yeah...

Slowly lifting the Star Princess to the top of the roof, I heard voices coming from below.

"Oh no... are you going to abandon that guy, Diego...!?"

"No - we only fulfill our mission. Nothing more or less."

"But....!

"So let's ask, what do we do if we miss this opportunity? What are we here for? There's never a lot of time we're allowed."

One voice sounded familiar.

Recently, I've heard a lot about soft, elegant boys.

"Ah, that... Ian -kun?"

Raffinia seems to have noticed him.

"- That's true."

"Are you renting this place and staying at the inn? Is that why you handed out tickets for the performance...?

Maybe.

The Grand Royal Theatre is close, and it's no wonder...

He was talking to a rather large man with short maroon hair who looked like a mulberry.

It's not a cold season, but it's a thick jacket that's almost invisible from the neck down.

"So tell me about the situation and understand!"

"That's dangerous. Accept."

"Kh...!

"Don't get any worse now. Prepare yourself."

"That kind of thing has already been decided...! Ever since that day...!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about anymore."

That said, the man left the scene.

"... no, I don't know what you're talking about... I didn't hear you very well, but you were rubbing it. Are you talking about the troupe?

"It's not good to eavesdrop.

"But there seemed to be something else, didn't there? Are you all right?

"... well, I'm going home for now."

Ingris turned the star princess's bow to the residence of the Knight Academy.

--And the next day, the real day of the show is coming.
