"Ha......!

When I woke up, it was a meadow there.

Until recently, I must have been talking to God. At that time, the next time I woke up, they said it was a different world. I mean, I guess this is a different world.

"Stay!

Follow your cheeks and you will feel a definite pain. Apparently, it's not all dreams or anything, it's reality.

"... what shall we do?

Understanding the situation, at first, I thought so. I didn't think about what I'd do when I came to the other world.

Looking around, the greenery is spreading. In the meantime, shall we walk around? I thought so. I started walking fast.

After a short walk, I saw something like a street. Perhaps it should be connected to the town.

I thought so, and when I tried to follow the street, I saw a walking group. It's just fine, so why don't you ask me the way?

I spoke to the head of the group.

"Hey, okay?

"What? What about you?

The one who answered me was a blonde, beautiful, but seemingly somethin '. Is the year a little lower than mine? But you look like you're in some kind of a mood.

"My name is Slade, I just want to ask you the way..."

"Road? Well, fine, I'll give you an answer"

"Around here, the biggest town, where would it be?

When I said that, the blonde looked suspicious.

"You're suspicious."

"What?"

"Hey, say your qualities. Where do you live?

Something seems suspicious. No, is it true that it's suspicious? I wasn't a resident of this world in the first place.

Well, what do we do? There's no place to live. In the meantime, will we have to mislead them appropriately?

"Oh, actually, I don't remember..."

"Memory? I wonder if that means amnesia. I'm not convinced about that, but you could have even said your name."

The first name I named seemed to be a failure. But I can still say anything.

"I only remembered his name."

"Yeah, is that true?

The woman is staring at me. I figured maybe not. But telling the truth doesn't convince me. Rather, it's going to seem more suspicious that way.

"Sona, do you have a minute?"

Having such a conversation, a gray-haired, tall woman appeared from the center of the organization.

She was a beautiful woman, with a tranquil atmosphere but also something like Rin in it. Long hair, big breasts, but also for a neutral face or it seems masculine. About the same age as me?

"Fa, Captain Faraes!? What's wrong......?

"Oh, won't you let me talk?

"Well, I don't mind that..."

A woman called Faraes talked to me, lowering her apparently blonde girl named Sona.

"I am Faraes, Captain of the Fourth Corps of the Knights of the Holy Way. Can I ask you something about you?

"Oh, oh... the Knights?

I was curious to hear what Faraes said about the Knights. The Knights means they are knights. There seemed to be knights in the world I was in, and I heard they were the strong ones protecting people from the crisis.

"Hey, okay?

"Yeah? Is there something wrong with that, too?

"If you're a knight, why don't you work with me on one?

With my remarks, the Knights started making noise. In the meantime, Sona poked at me.

"You! Whatever it takes, it's not rude! And suddenly..."

"Sona, it's okay."

But Faraes blocked it.

"Slade, did I say? I'll take your suggestion."

"That's, thank God!

Faraes took my suggestion. Don't talk fast and help.

"But fighting in the streets is out of the question. Let's move places."

"Oh, okay"

That's how me and the Knights moved off the spot.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Faraes are going to fight in a meadow with nothing around. The surroundings were surrounded by members of the Knights.

When I pulled the knife out, Faraes looked at it with interest.

"A knife... that's unusual"

"Really? This is my favorite."

"I see, it's going to be an interesting fight..."

Saying so, Faraes was laughing. Maybe Faraes is just like me. Because from that smile I could read the sentiment that I couldn't help but fight the strong.

"Yeah, I'll make sure for once, but don't make life-taking attacks or attacks that make you seriously ill. It's only a match."

"Oh, I know what you mean."

This battle is a rule of victory if we are in a situation where we can tailor our opponents to each other. It's not a life match, it's for certainty of strength, so naturally there's no attack that will stay later.

"Heh, that's good. Well."

Faraes pulled out his sword and the two were ready to engage.

"Let's go!

"Oh!"

The two blades overlapped and a loud noise echoed around.

"Oh!"

So I raised my voice of admiration. For the strength of Pharaoh hath found out. It doesn't have to compare to Dixia who fought in the previous world.

Her strength, equal to mine, no, seemed more than mine.

We read each other what the next attack would be like. Its thought time is so instantaneous that it is less than a second.

And the result was that the next blow would settle.

"Ha!"

"Gu!"

In the blow of Faraes, I was hit with the knife I had and dropped it. Which means I'm defeated.

From the battle to the settlement, it was only a two-second event.

"... hehe"

"... haha"

"... kuku"

At the speed of that settlement, the knights around them began to laugh after a few seconds of quiet. Probably mocking my weakness.

"Heh, you, that's all in good shape, to this extent? You make me laugh."

That's what Sona told me to incite, but now I didn't care about the laughter around me or the words.

"... wonderful"

I was impressed by Faraes' strength. Stronger and sharper than me, that sword move was something you didn't get in the previous world. There are stronger people in this world than me. That fact was making me excited.

"Yeah?"

That's what I was thinking, before I suddenly, my right hand was offered. It was the hand of Pharaoh.

"Let's shake hands. It was a brilliant fight."

"Captain Faraes!? I can't believe I'm holding hands with a guy like that..."

I saw how that was, and Sona came in to stop me. Then Faraes looks sad. I think I have something to think about.

"Sona, no, everyone in Squad Four on this scene doesn't seem to know anything, I'm sad..."

"Captain Faraes......?

"I can't believe no one can spot it when he says that his strength is more than everyone but me on this occasion..."

"What...?

To Faraes' words, Sona was surprised with her eyes round.

"Even between him and me, there wasn't as much difference in strength as it seemed. Just a little, I just read and won"

"Oh, no..."

That's all I'm saying, Faraes has turned his attention to me again. I can see with my gaze that I'm encouraging you to shake hands. There was no reason to say no to me.

That was awesome.

"hehe, thanks"

"Ah...... oh"

When I took his hand, Faraes smiled gently.

With that smile on my face, I don't know why, but I feel a little faster.

So Faraes showed a slightly contemplative bare gesture. Was something wrong? When I wondered, Faraes opened his mouth.

"... yes, you had amnesia"

"Yeah......? Ah! Well, right..."

Speaking of which, I don't think I said that. In this moment, I completely forgot.

It's a pain in the ass, so maybe I can shed some light on the situation around there.

When I was thinking about that, Faraes came up with an unexpected suggestion.

"Slade, if you like, why don't you join the Knights?

"What...?

"If you join the Knights, they'll come in with all kinds of information, so I might be able to get a clue to reclaim your memory. Plus, we'll get the money. I have an entrance exam, but I think you'll be fine."

"Captain Faraes! What are you talking about!?

The suggestion seemed very good to me. Regardless of the amnesia thing, it would be appreciated if the funding aspect were to be resolved. Most importantly, if you're in the Knights, you might meet someone even stronger.

"Okay. I'm joining the Knights."

"You! Go ahead and talk to him."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

Me and Faraes laughed at each other, strengthening the power of the hand we shook.

Not really, I don't think I'm convinced from around, but okay.

"Then let's head to Saltin"

"Sartine?"

"Oh, where the Knights are based. We were trying to get back there."

"Was it? All right, it's my pleasure to meet you."

So I went to a place called Saltin.
