I was walking in the town of Apolito No. 6.

A slightly fantastic building is being built, and the heavenly people come and go. There are also many appearances of elves, but there is a clear difference in attitude between blue skin being subordinate and white skin being subordinate.

It's like a retro, and it's a strange town that feels new. I felt like a set I made trying to make a fantasy movie.

When I walk normally, I forget that this is a floating island on the sky.

In the meantime, the people who go to town see me as a flicker. No, sir Dini Agnos walking next to me, to be exact.

"No, I think you're pretty good too, Jin."

Sir Agnos says so, but I think the gaze of a young woman is gathering on you.

"I helped Her Majesty the Empress, so I can't help but be noticed"

"... I don't think so"

You have a better gaze than I do!

"What do you think, let me guess?

"No, I don't think so."

"Ho, why?

"If I were to walk around town anyway, I would have liked to date a beautiful woman."

"Dating?"

Sir Agnos made it a kyoton. And I got a look like I was convinced "uh".

"I see, if I walk next door dressed as a woman, that means I'm a little out of your mind."

A white knight who gives a gaze that makes him feel discolored there.

"... that's not bad either. Next time you're dressed as a girl, go on a date with me."

"Are you serious?

I meant to be mean, but for some reason Nori replied too well.

"Are you a man?

"What do you think? Sometimes I don't know my gender."

So Sir Agnos turned his grieving eyes to the sky.

"I'd look like this, wouldn't I? That's why I have a thought. If I had been born a girl..."

I see, that seemingly womanly problem. Early, who was forced to wear men's clothes, had similar problems.

"Ah, Jin. I see it."

And, Sir Agnos pointed to a certain restaurant. Yes, I'm about to have lunchtime with this guy.

Sir Agnos said that this appearance, but I can't eat in a disappointing way.

Looks, it is certainly a little disillusioning for a beautiful girl to be mean and disappointed in cooking. I'm pretty sure it doesn't look good on boned meat or something.

and well aside from the chatter, the reason he invited me was to listen to my origins and background.

Her Majesty wants to see me, I heard. As a precondition for that, we're examining whether it's okay for us to meet.

In the first place, I've come to this Apolito and the sun is shallow. Some members of the SS suspect me of being a member of the Dark Force.

I guess that's why you're looking into me. Well, the inconvenient thing is through with amnesia.

Because if you're from another world and you're from the future, or if you say it in the face, you're gonna be the one who says, "No matter what you do, you lie better."

"- If you're not a vampire, I'm pretty sure you're from heaven."

"Really?

What's the difference between a heavenly man and a groundman? Something different from the outside...?

"You are free to manipulate powerful magic. A craftsman no earthlings can do."

"I mean, the grounders can't use magic?

"I don't know if I can use it at all, but at least I don't have the resources to grow up on the ground."

Everyone in heaven can use magic, he said. Sure, all the knights I teach used it... Although I don't seem to be very good at it.

"I wish I knew which island you're from."

"Sorry, because I don't remember"

"Yeah, even with the magic technology of my Apolito, I can't play it until I remember.... I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"... Sir Agnos"

"Dini's fine, Jin."

"Lord Dini, do you not suspect me?

"At a time when it didn't smell like vampires, I decided I wasn't the enemy"

Sir Agnos wiped the oil on his mouth with a napkin.

"He rescued Her Majesty the Empress and guided us in our quest to educate knights and the healing magic of de-cursing vampirization.... the knights were delighted to start the healers. The vampire curse could have been saved if it had been done before."

It was originally magic to stop zombification and purify it. The vampire curse and doings of this era were fortunate enough to be removed with the same treatment as zombies did.

"At least he's the one who brought so much benefit to this Apolito, you are. There's no way I can handle it."

He's certified as a good man. If this is just a runaway, you may have been tortured for abusive interrogation or if you were bad at it.

"Hey, am I quite a celebrity or something?

"Not now."

Sir Agnos looked frightened.

"Everyone in the Apolito Army knows your name and contribution, even if they don't know your face. And the other day, saving the Empress's crisis quickly propagated as a rumor. The average person knows about you too."

……

Are you saying you're sticking one foot in a hero again? Ma, I'm not taking this so seriously because I know I won't be staying long in this time anyway.

As for me, being a hero here doesn't matter.

"Speaking of which, Jin, it's a different story, but you're going to the Twelve Knights' Choice."

"I didn't mean for it to be directed to leave, personally, but it seemed to be an entry"

When I answered honestly, I said, "Really?" Sir Agnos snapped his neck.

"Around you, Stigme, did you make a guess?

"I've never met him, but the Grand Duke seems to be letting him do so"

"Stigme, you're a Grand Duke. Probably."

Sir Agnos' expression clouded a little.... Grand Duke or something like that smells like factional strife when words like that come out, and I get on my guard too.

"Jin, I'll advise you. Better not get along too well with them."

"What do you mean?

"It means you're in trouble."

His beautiful face was never serious.

"For example, our black knight recognizes that you are the one who pulls this Apolito around. Your selection tournament appearance was planned by the Grand Duchy..."

Instead of advice, I interpreted this as a restraint. Dini Agnos, the white knight, stabbed me with a nail telling me not to get involved with the Grand Duke any more.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm not thinking either way, but I don't see my surroundings that way, so you'll need to be careful.

In the first place, even this Sir Agnos would be from a faction separate from the Grand Duchy, and the occasions when you are dining with such a person would be a cause for admiration from that Grand Duchy.

You're totally involved already, no...
