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

Karakara, Karakara...

The dry sound of the carriage's wheels comes into my ear from the outside.

Raffinia sitting face-to-face speaks to Ingris looking out the window at the sight of dusk.

"I wish Leone had come, too."

Leone replied to the invitation to thank the other party, "I'm fine, come on," and said no.

So today, after class, Ingris and Raffinia will both keep the invitation.

"I have no choice. I thought it was no wonder the Lambert Chamber of Commerce resented me."

The Lambert Chamber of Commerce was run by Raal's father.

I don't know what's going on now - it was Leon, Leone's brother, who put rainbow powder (prism powder) on Raal, the son of the Lord of the Chamber of Commerce, and turned it into a demon stone beast.

If that is known over there, there is no denying the possibility that even Leone is being resented.

"When I say that, so do we - but does Leone care? You've been pretty depressed."

"Yeah. I guess you don't want to hurt me any more"

"But not like this. Not like this, right? If there's any chance..."

"Right. I think Leone knows too. But now, I'm a little tired. Can I wait for you until you feel better?

"... right, something you shouldn't be forced to do. Then in the meantime, you can take home something delicious for your souvenir!

"I like that. I'll do that for you."

"Yeah. - Hey, Chris? I think I'm Brother Rafa's sister, and everyone's gonna take it easy on me. But Leone is the other way around. Because she's Leon's sister, everyone sees it badly... and that's why I think we have to support Leone. Leone is a good girl. Chris will help you, won't he?

"Of course I do. That's great, Rani."

Inglis gently strokes Rafinia's dark hair.

It's great to be able to recognize myself properly. This shouldn't be my own desire.

"Pfft. If that's what Chris would say, don't worry."

"Really?"

"Yeah. In my experience, right?

The carriage stops while we talk.

"Are we there?

"But it's in the middle of the road, right?

The carriage picked me up came to the school, and the man said he'd show me to the hall owned by the Chamber of Commerce...?

"Excuse me, let me change inside!

and a knight wrapped around the kingdom's crested armor opened the carriage door.

"Mm-hmm. Are you cadets at the Knight Academy?

"Yes, I do, but..."

"Is something wrong?

"Over the past few days, there have been frequent murders of people all over the city at night. That's why I'm on guard all over the city."

"Huh!?"

"There's such a case...?

Inglis and the others had just come to Wang Capital, and the academy was dormitory-wide, so we didn't really know what was going on in the city.

"All they're after are knights with Demon Marks (Runes). It's a Rune-Eater.

"Don't you have a star on the killer?

To Ingris' question, the knight man shakes his neck to the side.

"No, I don't know. They say it's the blood chain brigade that's gaining strength these days - but there's going to be more supplies to Heavenly Territories (Highland) soon, right? I was wondering if it would interfere. Anyway, you guys be very careful."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

"I'll be careful. Thank you."

When the two thanked each other, the knight closed the carriage door and left.

The carriage moved out again, in which Ingris made a comeback.

"Rune-eater? That sounds interesting. Is it strong?"

"... oh, something terrible is going on"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Because if Chris gets laid, it won't be a loco thing. In my experience, right?

"Rude."

"Nevertheless, if Brother Rafa is in the King's Capital, I'm sure he'll do something about it soon"

"We're still transporting the Rainbow King, right?

"Yeah. You should hear from me when I get back. Besides, I heard Prince Wayne was headed that way. I hear Mr. Ellis is with you on that escort, right?

"You're pretty thin right now. But you knew him well, didn't you?

"Yeah. Look, a lot of people are coming to talk to me, right? Some of them are from the knights' house in King's Landing, so they told me."

"I see."

And they told him that the carriage had again stopped and arrived from his lord.

It was a mansion with a particularly large garden, among the lots lined with large dwellings.

"Please continue inside."

"Okay."

"Thank you"

Inglis and Raffinia go on through gardens maintained like gardens.

It's already dusk time and the area is in the dark.

"Lani. Stop for a second."

"? What?

"Stay put."

Inglis puts that aside and moves on alone.

And...

Humph, humph, humph!

Along with the wind-cut noise, a number of arrows fly towards Ingris.

"Crissss!?"

"Mm-hmm. It's okay."

Inglis in response to the lack of time.

Between the fingers of his hand, which moved at an unstoppable speed in his eyes, all the arrows that flew in were pinched.

"Why did you stop it all!?"

"Yeah. Because I knew the signs. I thought we were being resented, too?

That said, I feel like my aim was subtly off, and my arrow butt isn't pointy.

I don't know what you're going to do.

"You fooled me...!?"

"Maybe? But..."

Bubba Bubba Bubba!

Inglis simultaneously throws back the arrow he took between his fingers.

"Wow!?"

"Say yeah eh!?"

"Hey, what the...!

"I can't believe they shot me back!?"

From the shade of the surrounding trees and the shade of the plants, the men jump out screaming.

"I like this kind of welcome."

Inglis smiles happily.

"... oh, my good-looking face"

Raffinia sighs.

"Hey wolves, Temee et al! It's not hard to even read the signs. Hey, lady, I'll deal with you. Come on."

A scratchy, disappointing man entered on his cheek, blocked by Inglis.

Is there a Demon Mark (Rune) shining on your hands?

"Then please"

"Oops. Call me what you want - ahhhh!?"

An elbow punch that went straight in and let go lightly was bouncing the man and slamming him against the wall of the mansion.

He's passed out. He's not getting up.

"Come on, who's next?

Ingris smiles and smiles at the men.

"" "Hi, no, no, no!?" "

The men with complete hips scream.

"Wait! I know what you're capable of! I'm sorry, give him a break already!

A young man came from the building of the mansion and bowed his head to Ingris.
