Leon leaves the Mouth Pavilion of the Great Monster Bird (Rockbird) and continues to walk silently through the city at night. To cool your head a little. If they curse me like that, I'm not sure I can stay calm. Before I could talk, I wanted to get away from myself.
"Leon, stop, come on! We're going out of town now!
Unexpectedly, my arm is pulled back. Looking back, the hand belonged to Ophelia. Ofelia looks anxious, and that goes for Kym and Vlacaf who were with her.
"Ah..."
Apparently, he was just going to hit the wind at night, but he wandered around for a long time. Besides, I'm sorry, he seemed to be bringing his people around.
"Keep walking, are you feeling a little better?
When Kym laughed like she was in trouble, Leon bowed his head.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Looks like my head was full of thought..."
"Sounds like it. I didn't know the details because I kept my eyes open, but about as busy a mouth as the kid gave me, would that disturb you?
"Ugh, yeah, well..."
To the mouthwatering Leon, Vlacaf sniffs his nose closer and smells the smell.
"No signs of psychosis (debuff)."
Then it's your problem.
Kym put his arms together and leaned his neck surprisingly.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Ok......"
Leon and Ophelia, the parties, will tell each other the details. When I'm describing my actions in this way, I'm starting to feel so embarrassed that I can be objective about things. In fact, after listening, Kym laughed with her nose about the two of them.
"I see. Well, you two are bad."
"What, why not!? The bad news is - Awww!
As Ophelia tried to argue, Kym poked her flank with a stone clash of spears.
"Which idiot did you peddle the rumors and take a sinister attitude from the beginning?
"Yes, indeed, that was my fault... But you admitted it yourself?
"You idiot. If something really is wrong, will you admit it publicly and honestly?"
"Oh, so, you're lying? Why do you have to lie like that?
"I don't know that. But, well, if you can think of it, do you want to use bad reviews the other way around? There's a saying that notoriety beats anonymity."
"Yeah? That's it. - Oh, my God! Don't poke, don't poke!
Ophelia, who received Kym's continuous thrust, couldn't stand the pain and hid on Vlacaf's back. He only glances at his face for a moment and has resentful eyes.
"By and large, even if it was all true, a guy in a position that had nothing to do with it should not be involved unilaterally. It's too rampant a sense of justice, idiot."
"Ugh..."
It's a truthful argument. No matter how right you are, you need to take care of your surroundings. Ofelia couldn't say anything back, tears in her eyes and ears.
"Leon, you too."
"Yeah, I know..."
"We're talking about uneven qualifications and rewards for the Explorer. You were supposed to blame for insulting your people, weren't you? Justification disappears at a time when the opponent's provocation makes a difference."
"Oh, you're right. I was wrong..."
It was an indication that my ears went through the pain and into my heart. There can be no objection. Whatever Noel's intentions were, it was Leon who made the difference. Leon, a mere Explorer, was not qualified to say such a great thing.
"To her, I'm going to apologize again. Everybody go home first. - What!
My throat tightens because I was grabbed by a collar spin. It was Kym who grabbed it.
"Wait, wait. I'm just stubborn going to apologize now. Besides, if you apologize, you'd be scolded for being less than a dog, without Ophelia's standing."
"No, but..."
"If you're in contact again, it's better to do more research before you do. In the first place, that's the reason for this one, right? Are you willing to repeat the same mistake?
"Well..."
Indeed, even if we apologize, we should move carefully. As Leon nodded, Ophelia raised her hand while hiding in Vlacaf.
"I forgot to tell you, it's him, not Noel."
"Oh, yeah."
"Yeah, I didn't know how I was in shape because I was wearing a rugged coat, but that's what he said, and when I observed it closely, the skeleton was the man. I think I'd be mad if I made a mistake with a woman."
"Look, you need information, right?
Leon laughs bitterly at Kym for his shoulders.
"Right. Speaking of which, there's something I care about, too. Why did they let you into that tavern? If you have a track record, you should hear the rumors."
"I wonder what happened before I entered the store? I wish I could figure that out..."
"Ask no one because the Awkward Monks are hated by other Seekers."
They all sighed at Vlacaf's teeth for words they could not clothe.
The Heavenly Wings Knights are hated by other Seekers. That is an indisputable fact. But it is also true that we have never deviated from reason, and that we have always tried to be right.
In the first place, the great party name Knights of the Heavenly Wings was not conceived by the Leons, but given at will by a newspaper reporter in Imperial City.
Not only is my arm strong, but I care about courtesy and honesty, reputed in the article as a party like the Knights of Universal History that comes out of a fairy tale, and that only became the alias Heavenly Wings Knights. And because the aliases became more famous than their original party names, the Leons had no choice but to name themselves Heavenly Wings Knights.
Of course, the Leons say it's overrated. We are never such noble seekers. Now, I've also had problems like this one.
But the other Seekers didn't think so. I know you're getting slapped in the pussy when it's a bunch of unwanted hypocrites, and nobody tries to get close to the Leons.
Because the Seekers are basically rough people, and if the majority of them slap, they produce dust. Try that on them, the Heavenly Wings Knights, who are regarded by the public as behaving correctly, were nothing but blind.
No, even without that appreciation, the Leons, who still hate dirty things, would have become detached.
"... wait. Why don't you ask Risha and she'll get the information? Those two, the party's different, but you were supposed to be in the same tavern, right?
When Kym looked at Ophelia, Ophelia turned her eyes round.
"Indeed... it was a blind spot..."
"It was a blind spot, no! If you're Leisha in sync, you've decided to have some solid information! And yet you're just doing stupid things with rumors!
"Ouch. Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Angry Kym drags out Ophelia, who was hiding behind Vlacaf, and pokes her again and again to the point that she is not injured by the stone clash.
Leon looked at Vlacaf and flaunted his shoulders.
"Well, now you're going to get your information... Good......"

Eventually, I stopped going back to the Mouth Pavilion of the Great Weird Bird (Rockbird). Even though I'm tired on my way home from the expedition, even if I care about Noel, I can't even heal my tiredness.
Ophelia and Vlacaf were on their way home, and Leon and Kym decided to visit the destination bar. Unlike the exclusive Seeker Tavern, the tranquil atmosphere created by the narrow stores is perfect for a mentally tired day like today.
"So, what's the truth?
As they were licking their liquor in the corner of the counter seat, they asked out.
"What do you mean?
"Why did you get so annoyed?
"I wonder why..."
I can't forgive you for insulting Ophelia, but you could have responded more calmly. Yet I exposed myself to such ugliness.
"I don't know myself..."
"Probably, aren't you jealous?
"Jealous?"
As Leon tilts his neck, Kym nods as he twists the fried beans.
"Noel is only sixteen, right? Such a kid suddenly showed up at the Big Bird (Rockbird) Mouth Pavilion, and he had a big face. It's weirder not to be jealous. That's why Ophelia ran off."
"Right...... Jealous..."
When they say it, it falls to my heart. Perhaps Kym's analysis is correct.
"Don't tell Ophelia. He's easy to think of. If you find out it was jealousy, you won't come out in a cage."
"Heh, I know. But if so, you've done something really selfish... I can't apologize to you, Noel."
"Really? I think I'm rather healthy. Being confrontational is a good thing. It triggers growth."
"Can I bother them?
"I don't think Noel thinks anything of it. More importantly, I believe the Heavenly Knights and the Blue Beyond can be good rivals."
Leon blinks at Kym's unexpected words.
"What makes you think that?
'Cause you're the same deviant.'
Returned in words that have no body or lid, Leon accidentally blows it out.
"Ha, I see. It makes sense."
When I laughed like this, it also came with sorting out my feelings.
"Noel, I don't know you very well yet, but he's probably a great guy. He's young, and he's a magician, but he's driving down the street."
"Are you jealous again?
"No, I have pure respect for you. Yeah, he's a great guy."
"Honesty is a virtue, but I also wonder if seniors can water up a lot? Hey, Leon Frederick, twenty-two year old single?
"Age and celibacy are the same with Kym,"
In the first place, Leon and Kym are childhood tamers in their hometown. The first person who wanted to be a Seeker was my brother Kym. Leon visited Imperial Capital in a manner that followed Kym, and became a Seeker.
Eventually, Ophelia became one of them and Vlacaf joined them. For some reason Leon is supposed to be the leader, but the spiritual leader is Kym. Even as he lined up his shoulders this way, Leon's heart remained a disciple.
"It's been a long time since you left home. Hey, Leon. It's time for us to move on to the next step? I mean, the creation of the clan."
Kym takes a single letter from his nostalgia and puts it on the table. Looking at the content, it said exactly the same thing as the letter that had now reached Leon in the morning. The sender was the Explorer (Seeker) Association (Guild). The reason for this was that a strong party was rushed to create a clan.
"Did you get it to Kym too"
"According to the pinch in my ear, it arrived at the other party, didn't it?
"But isn't that a funny story? Why are you suddenly rushing to create a clan? I've never done anything like this before."
"I don't know. But there seems to be some reason, and I think this is a good opportunity. Leon, how are you?
The Heavenly Wings Knights have a proven track record of not being surprised to have founded a clan for so long. Yet it has delayed its creation because it wanted to start in better shape.
If you can get a good assessment from the start and start dashing, that's how much easier it is to run a clan. The policy was discussed and decided by the whole party.
"Me too, I think it's a good opportunity. But I need to hear from the other two."
"Oh, well, then, I don't mind either of you."
"Yes!? Have we discussed this already?!? Without me the leader!?
"I hear you got a letter to both of us. It's on the extension line."
Even so, Leon had no choice but to be frightened.
"Even the decorations were conscious, but they were terrible..."
"Don't be obstinate! I said it was bad!
Kym comes shoulder-to-shoulder and rocks like he did when he was a child, but all he could do was sigh out of Leon's mouth.
†

Good hurries, he says. The next day, Leon visited the Explorer (Seeker) Association (Guild) Hall with Kym in order to file an application for the creation of the clan.
When I told the receptionist about the incident, for some reason, he was passed through to the back room. Normally, it seems to take a few days for me to get back to you, but is this for a reason too?
As the two waited in the reception room, an old gray-haired gentleman in a swallow tail suit eventually appeared.
"I am Harold Jenkins, the reference supervisor of the Explorer (Seeker) Association (Guild). Later, get to know each other."
"I'm Leon Frederick, leader of the Heavenly Wings Knights."
As we thanked each other, Harold smiled softly.
"We have heard about the Heavenly Wings. We are delighted that the strongest party in the B Rank has finally decided to create a clan."
"No, we haven't."
"You will not be humbled. Anyway, the Heavenly Wings Knights have already achieved 'Dragon Killer'. Its strength is something to be proud of, as only four of us have accomplished difficult feats, even in the middle class. Modesty only becomes rather disgusting"
dragon killer, which literally indicates that he crusaded the dragon species demon (Beast). Dragon breeds are extremely powerful among demons (beasts) and are opponents even in mid-level clans. Crusading the dragon species is therefore considered one of the great achievements of the Seeker.
The Knights of the Heavenly Wings crusaded the Devil of the Seven Depths (Beast) and the Evil Dragon of the Forest (Ayattar). Though it was not the ability to fly, it was covered in strong scales, exhaled a fiercely poisonous breath and, moreover, a formidable enemy to be transparent, but it succeeded in the crusade. Just a year ago.
"Well, let's get down to business. A party with a great track record like yours and rated as a behavioral correction approves it as a clan without having to interview it. That's it, raise your hands. But..."
Harold punctuated the words once and sadly dropped his brow butt.
"We Explorers Association (Alliance) reject the Knights of Heaven clan application. Sincerely, I apologize."
A blue sky thunderbolt is this.
Leon and Kym were stunned, screaming at the next moment.
"Rejected, what do you mean!?" "Rejected, what do you mean!?
"I can't help being confused either. I'll explain now, but before I do, I just want you to make one promise. What I have heard here today is that it never leaks to the outside world. Can you accept that?
Leon looked at Kym and then nodded.
"Okay, I promise"
"Then I'm going to go straight in. In the near future, the Ten Kings of Underworld (Valiants) will be present."
"The Ten Kings of the Underworld (Valiant)!?
"Yeah, that's right. Therefore, the Association of Our Seekers (Guild) has decided to narrow down the clan that it would like to create. The reason is simple, to strengthen individual capabilities by reducing the dispersion of requests."
"I mean, we don't deserve a country to nurture, do we?
Harold nodded as Leon asked in a trembling voice.
"You're right, Mr. Leon. You guys are really good. But in terms of the future, there are doubts. A year ago, when you won the title of Dragon Killer by crusading the Evil Dragon in the Woods (Aiatar), why didn't you immediately create a clan? You've got too much track record, too much money."
"It intends to create a clan in a more complete state…"
"It's good to be cautious. But the discretion has become a source of concern for us. Will the Heavenly Wings Knights be stronger than they are now from the time they become clans, until the Ten Kings of Underworld (Valiants) come into existence?"
"Oh, no..."
I didn't expect the prudence to make a big leap backwards. Leon was about to turn his head white on an unexpected event.
"Wait! You're the ones who've been asking me to apply for the clan! But what do you think of dismissing it?
Kym screams and slaps the example letter on the table.
"What is this letter?
Harold crooked the letter in his hand and tilted his neck.
"We don't send out these letters, do we?
"Stupid! So, who let it out!?
"I don't know that. Isn't that a prank?
"Prank...... you say?
Kym dropped her shoulder and stunned. It's a prank that Harold can think of more than he denied. But what's the point of making such a prank?
"Anyway, that's how it turns out this time. But if the Ten Kings of the Underworld (Valiants) have been crusaded, we can grant permission to apply. Sorry, please submit your application again at that time"
Harold tries to get out of the room in thanksgiving. Leon stood up aggressively and stopped shouting.
"Wait! Will you give us a chance!?
I know you're talking impotent. But I didn't want to give in to such an irrational story. It doesn't make sense since the Ten Kings of Underworld Prison (Valiants) were crusaded. Right now, if the Heavenly Wings Knights can't be a clan, they'll be a lump of mind all the time. Vlacaf on Ophelia as well as Leon and Kym. You couldn't admit that as a leader.
"Please! Admit us as clans!
As Leon bowed his head, Harold sighed and slowly returned.
"Okay. Let me give you a chance."
"Is it true!?" "Is that true!?
"Yes, instead, I'll have you tested"
"Exam?"
"We ask you to crusade the devil (Beast) that this one designates. Accept your clan application if you can achieve it."
"What is that demon (Beast)?
"It's just the demon in the world (Beast). Depth 8, Bamboo King of the Devil's Eye (Dantalion). I ask you to crusade this Devil (Beast)."
"Depth, eight..."
A stronger demon (Beast) than the evil dragon (Ayattar) in that forest. Leon swallows the saliva. Fulfill, can you win? Lost in response, Kym put his hand on his shoulder.
"Leon, don't get lost. Either way, if you continue with the Seeker, you need to fight even more powerful enemies. Then there's no point in getting lost, is there?
To its powerful words, Leon nods.
"Okay. Mr. Harold, make sure you take that exam."
"Accepted. However, the content of the exam is not simply defeating the demon (Beast). I'll have a fight with a certain party."
"A certain party?
"Yeah, they were also disputing the rejection of the clan application. He asked me to cry for a chance. For both of us, we believe it is only reasonable to clan one side or the other according to the previous policy."
Harold explained unilaterally and saw the door leading to the separate room.
"He's waiting over there. Let me call you now. - I got recognition from the Heavenly Wings Knights! Come here, too!
The door opened and a boy with a face so beautiful that he could see with a woman, wearing a black coat, loosely appeared with a teacup in one hand.
"Oh, it's been yesterday, Mr. Heavenly Wings Knights."
"Noel Stolen......"
