The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into another world.

I was at the Knights base.

Today, I was told I could take a break, but Celia said I was going, so I decided to go, too.

Anyway, Faraes said that his apprentice, who was supposed to be tired, was going to train, but it didn't make sense that I, the master, was asleep. Well, I'm not going to make much of a move today, and I'm not planning on seeing Celia as my main focus.

That's why the three of us came to the base.

"Well, we're both gonna work hard, right?

With that said, Faraes headed to the captain's office.

I'll talk to Celia.

We're going to the training ground, too.

"Yes, Master, thank you"

That said, the two of us were on our way to the training ground, and a face we saw was walking in from the front.

"Ah, Lieutenant Sona, good morning"

"Sona, good morning"

"Yeah, good morning"

That's Sona, deputy captain of our Fourth Squad.

Sona looks a little surprised when she sees us both.

"We both thought you were going to be off today..."

"Ah, yes. I got some rest yesterday."

"Well, I only teach Celia to train lightly, so I don't think I'm that tired."

"You are."

Sounds like Sona's convinced of the two of us.

"Well, I'm going, good luck with that, okay?

"Yes!"

"Oh, bye."

That's all I said, Sona's gone.

Perhaps there was something I could do for you.

Still, Sona's a softened one, too.

When I first met him, he said he was hostile, but he's been so nice to me lately.

"Ah, Slade, Mr. Celia, good morning"

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Dion"

"Oh, good morning, Dion"

When I was thinking about it, I saw another face from the front.

It's Dion, one of our 4th Squad.

"You both look fine and above all else."

"Thank you"

"Well, I'm a little tired..."

Dion seemed worried about us, too.

This guy is also a good one inside.

"Well, don't make it impossible. Well, I'll be going."

"Oh, yes."

"Oh."

That's all I said, Dion's gone, too.

I guess he has a mission, too.

Well, let's go too.

"Yes! Let's go!

It's no use stopping forever, so we decided to head to the training ground.

◇ ◇ ◇

"All right, that's about it for today"

"Yes, thank you, Master!

Me and Celia will finish training and leave the training area behind.

I cut it up a little early today and thought I'd go home.

"Ah, both of you, just in the right place."

"Ah, Captain Faraes"

"What can I do for you?

But it was going to be a little while before we left.

"Will you both come to the captain's office? I could tell you both what I had to do."

"Yes, I understand"

"Oh, okay"

Because that's what Faraes is saying and calling us.

Perhaps there's a mission or something.

Walk a while and we'll get there in front of the captain's office.

"Come on, both of you, come in."

"I'm sorry to bother you"

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you"

"In the meantime, will you sit there too?

Faraes urged me and Celia to sit on the couch.

Then Faraes sat in front of us.

"Well, let me talk to you soon, but actually, I wanted to ask you both for a mission."

"A mission..."

"Yes, what is it?

After all, it looks like a mission, as I expected.

For me, it's been since the Land Dragon crusade.

This time, I think I'm with Celia.

"This time, it's an escort mission. A nobleman in a nearby town is coming to this town of Sartine, and I want you to go and escort him."

"Nearby town? Why don't you go all the way out here?

"Oh, with a designation from that nobleman. He wants you both to come."

That's what we were told to do.

There must be some knights in that town, but they've been designating us.

Who the hell said that?

The question was answered immediately by Faraes.

"I hear the nobleman was watching the game in the meantime. That's when I saw Sona in your second."

"Get Sona? Oh, could it be..."

"Oh, this request is from Sona's sister, Mr. Orfina."

In Faraes' words, I could have predicted too, but my client seemed to be Sona's sister.

"Sona's sister... I see"

"The town is a town called Deesolt, but it takes about half a day from here by carriage. It'll be a date to get out tomorrow morning, spend the day over there, and come back here."

"Well, I see."

"Okay."

We accept the words of Faraes.

That's how I decided on my new assignment.

"Well, are you two leaving already?

"Oh, yes, we're leaving, aren't we? Master?"

"Oh, I'm going to"

So Faraes asks me that.

Apparently, he was wondering how we were doing.

"... for a moment, will you wait?

"Yeah? You got something?

"Yes, I want to go home with you... because I'm gonna get the job done right away... right?

Faraes, blushing, has said so.

Me and Celia face each other.

I didn't expect Faraes to say that.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"Starting tomorrow... because you two will be gone"

"Ah..."

"I see..."

Me and Celia face each other again.

Apparently, Faraes is lonely.

Speaking of which, Cleta also said Faraes was lonely.

"Is it weird...?

"No, it's not weird."

"Yes! Captain Faraes, he's so cute!

Me and Celia laughed at the same time.

When was Faraes gone, he went crazy because he was soggy?

Then, Celia, let's try to help.

"Yes!"

"Huh? You okay?

"Oh, that would be better, wouldn't it?

"Thank you both..."

We're going to help Faraes do his job.

Faraes laughed at it.

◇ ◇ ◇

I don't know if it's because me and Celia helped, but Faraes got his job done.

That's why we're going home.

"Thank you both. Thank you."

"Fine. Now we can go home soon."

"Yes!"

That's what we talked about, and as we were leaving the captain's office, the face we saw was coming this way.

"Oh..."

"Slade, Celia, Captain Faraes"

That is Sona, whom I also met this morning.

"Well, Captain Faraes tells me what's going on..."

"Oh, you're supposed to escort your sister..."

Soona seemed to have heard the story from Faraes.

So, you've been talking to us?

"Please say hello to your sister... she's not a bad person, please..."

"Yes! I'll do my best!

"Oh, leave it to me"

Sona smiles at us both.

Apparently, the sisters are close.

"Oh, the three of you, are you going home now...?

"Oh, I'm going home now"

Excuse me, Lieutenant Sona.

"I'm sorry, but I'll let you go home."

So, I feel a little uncomfortable.

The look on Sona's face felt a little shady.

"Good luck with that. Good luck to Captain Faraes."

But soon afterwards, with the same look as usual, he tells us that.

Was it my fault?

"Well, I'll be there."

And that's all I said and left.

"... Well, shall we go too?

"Yes, let's go home"

"Oh...... right"

With a word from Faraes, we decided to go home.
