I've been in the captain's office since I was treated in the infirmary after the exam.

Faraes, the lord of the room, looks angry for the price. This is probably because I kept playing the game, even though I passed the exam.

"Sorry!

I kept my head down before they said anything. At times like this, I've heard from one of my masters that I should apologize immediately. Basically, Faraes is sweet, so this should forgive me.

"No, I'll make you angry"

As I read my mind, Faraes shrugged so. Apparently, it was a shallow idea. Master, I resent you.

"I passed the exam, but I keep playing the game... and I can't believe I'm attacking you! It's dangerous, it's frivolous, like a lot of reflection!

"Sorry......"

Faraes seems really angry. Well, I thought that action would piss me off myself. For that reason, there will be no choice in this.

"Ha, well, I passed the exam. Congratulations there."

"Oh, thanks......"

Are you okay with the injury?

"Oh, my body's sturdy. You can move anytime soon."

As for the injury, I bruised slightly, but it was not that bad. In the treatment room, I also received restorative magic, so I'll probably be fine now.

"Whatever it is, now you're clear to join the Knights."

"Right... that's right too"

That's right, I'm part of the Knights now. I almost forgot what it's like to be congratulated for caring all the time about getting angry. Speaking of which, there's one thing that bothers you.

"Am I going to be Squad Four?

It was Faraes who recommended me, but is the assignment equivalent? That's what I need to hear.

"Yeah? Oh, yeah. Because you're my scout. In the first place, even if I have discretion, I can't help it."

On second thought, the person in front of me was a person in the head class of the Knights. Is the person's scouting any other purpose than to join his own squad?

"Well, then, keep it up... Captain"

"Captain...?

"'Cause you're not even going to rock to call it out. In front of the crew, if you do that, your majesty will be gone."

Even I, the boulder, thought it would be a bad idea to call me Faraes, as I've always done. I'm sure you don't like the thought of being licked by the crew.

"The tone is, well, I guess I'm older."

"Really? I think it will be as good as ever..."

Faraes doesn't seem to care much. But about that, shouldn't it be decent?

"Oh, yeah. And for now, you're gonna have to stay at my house for a while."

"Huh? You don't have another house or something?

"You're set to be amnesiac. I can't let it go wild. So I'll be the underwriter, and I'll be watching your company."

I see, because we can't let the unidentified go wild, is that why we leave it with a trusted Knights captain? Well, not that I'm a bad proposition.

"Oh, let me deduct a little from your salary as a rent, but still, okay?

"Of course, it would be more helpful if you did that even with me"

Living for free is uncomfortable, so that's more like what I'm trying to tell you.

"Okay, then that's fine. So, I'm going to explain what the Knights do, okay?

"Oh, nice to meet you"

The Knights' job is honestly only to recognize as much as defeating demons. This would be important to hear.

"Even so, I'm basically okay with recognition enough to fight demons. There's a lot more to it, but that's all right."

My perception seemed right.

"Well, given a mandate to do it, the mechanism is simple. It can be hard to do."

"I see..."

In the meantime, defeating demons on assignment seems to be the job of the Knights. Easy to understand, don't be helpful to me.

"Well, next, shall I show you around the facility? Follow me."

"Oh."

That said, I followed the captain's office with Faraes.

◇ ◇ ◇

Faraes has shown me various locations within the Knights stronghold, but one thing bothered me.

"Hey, captain..."

"Huh? Oh, what?

"Something hurts my gaze, did I do something?

"Oh, that's..."

When I ask the question, Faraes' expression gets a little cloudy. Did you even hear something bad?

"No, actually... I think it's my fault"

"Because of the captain? What's this all about?

"... thin, as you may have noticed, I'm prone to bring that favor to girls"

Oh, I see. Sure, Faraes feels hot from a girl. They've almost called me your sister, and that's what I guess.

"So I think they're looking at me with jealousy because I'm walking with you that I scouted. I'm sorry..."

"No, it's not the captain's fault, never mind."

There's nothing I can do about this. Besides not caring, there will be no way to deal with it.

"... How can I be so hot from a girl? Do you look so manly?

Faraes shrugged. Apparently, he's troubled.

From my point of view, I think Faraes is far too feminine. Well, it's my word for growing up in the mountains, so reliability may not be that great. But it would be better than not telling.

"That's not true. I think the captain is a very attractive woman."

"What...!

To my words, Faraes gave me a smile. I was a little embarrassed, but I guess I'm glad I said it.

"Sa... for your information, may I ask what aspect is feminine?

When I thought that, Faraes asked me. When it comes to aspects, there will be a lot of things. But the best thing I could think of there was something I shouldn't have thought of.

……

"Yeah? Where are you..."

My gaze naturally stares at a spin. I think Faraes felt that too.

"... I'm watching, not at all..."

"No, I'm not."

Faraes makes sure he hides his chest with his hands.

"I just unconsciously looked at it when I heard it was feminine. Forgive me."

"It won't be different... No, it certainly is..."

Pulling this topic any further, both sides have no interests, so we decided to stop.

◇ ◇ ◇

Afterwards, I was led back to the captain's office, where the Knights were based.

"Well, is this generally okay?

"Oh, thank you"

I was worried about earlier, but Faraes' mood doesn't seem to have gotten that bad.

"Hmmm, what am I going to do later..."

"What?"

"No, I was wondering what you'd do while you were away from duty."

I see. When I'm done guiding you, is work next? Well, I'm gonna do chores and everything, and whatever.

"Do you want me to rub it on your shoulder too...?

"Hey, hey..."

"Just kidding. Hey, can you help me sort out the paperwork? It's all about you. I've got a little work to do."

"Oh, then I'll be fine"

If it's a job you've accumulated for me, I'll have to help. Then Faraes gave me the paperwork.

"Take this..."

But Faraes stops his hand there once. Is there a problem?

"On second thought, you normally understand our language..."

"Oh, you sure do..."

The words used by me and the inhabitants of this world were the same for some reason. I haven't questioned you before, but this is fortunate.

"Can you even read the paperwork?

"Oh, no problem"

I looked through the paperwork, but I can understand this one. Apparently, it's the same from what to what.

Come to think of it, there was no difference that much from the original world otherwise. Has God chosen a very similar world for me?

"The world I was in and the captain's was a very similar world..."

"Sounds like it... But Slade, can I have one?

"What?

To my words, Faraes held his head. Also, what is wrong with it?

"Captain, will you stop calling me? In public, it may be necessary, but I want you to call me by name when you're alone or at home."

I didn't know Faraes called it that much. Well, if that's what you're gonna say, let's just say I don't care either.

"Okay, Faraes. Is this it?

"Oh, that doesn't have to be more uncomfortable"

That's what Faraes said, and he laughed. On second thought, isn't this smile the feminine charm? No, this smile could work for a girl, too.

I thought I'd say that, but now I don't think it's what I'm saying, so do you want me to stop?

"Well, then, let's get to work"

"Oh, leave it to me"

This is how I helped Faraes.
