I was in the captain's office at the Knights base.

I hear Faraes wants to talk to you.

"Well, I know you do, but I've decided to give you a medal and a reward."

"Oh, I thought that was more or less the story"

That's what Faraes told me.

Because I fought the Dark Knights, they gave me medals and rewards.

Even before that, because it happened, this was something that I knew a lot about.

"Oh, yeah. Faraes, this is after this, okay?

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm not that busy with the work I've done in the battle against the Dark Knight."

"Right. Good, then."

So I asked Faraes about this aftermath.

Actually, I'm supposed to go out with Faraes after this. I was worried that Busy Faraes would be able to rest, but he doesn't have a problem with that either.

I'll see you later.

"Oh."

This is how I left the captain's office behind.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was walking in the Knights stronghold.

Then, in the training ground ahead, we see the people we know.

"Ah..."

"Mmm? Slade..."

"Slade? Long time no see..."

"Oh, that's true..."

There were Captain Zagil and Selik, Noir.

If this is all you have, you may think the Fifth Squad is just training.

But it wasn't just the faces of the Fifth Squad there.

"Slade, are you all right now?

"You've had a lot of trouble too, Slade."

"Oh, no..."

There were also Dion and Gogassa.

Even the 4th Squad crew and the Knights' entrance examiners train the 5th Squad face-to-face.

What the hell kind of gathering is this?

"Mm-hmm? Yeah, we're all training together. Seeing your battle, I thought we had to raise ourselves more."

"Oh really..."

You guessed what I was wondering, and that's what Captain Zagil explained to me.

Apparently, he's training over the hedge of the squad.

"Slade, how about you, too?

"Oh, no, I have a little something to do..."

"Right. Well, there's no choice..."

I turned down Captain Zagil's offer.

If nothing, I wanted to train here like this, but I need something after this.

That's why I didn't participate in the training.

◇ ◇ ◇

I kept walking around the base.

Then I see people walking in who I know from the front.

"Ah, master."

"Not Slade"

You noticed this one, Celia and Sona spoke up.

I know you two are in base for the knights. But there are people in this hub who don't know why.

"Hello, Mr. Slade"

"Hello..."

It is Mr Orfina, Mr Alma and Mr Shalol.

All three of them came to the base for some reason.

"Why are the three of you here?

"We needed a little help with the Knights. This time I asked Sona, as deputy captain, to ask a lot of questions."

"Well, this is your sister's job too..."

"Me and Shalol are accompanied by Master Orfina"

"For once, we also assist with Orfina's work, so there is a combination of them"

When I asked, Mr. Orfina and the others answered as such.

Apparently, as a nobleman, he was talking to Sona, deputy captain of Squad Four.

I don't know what the hell you were talking about, but I guess I don't need to know.

But that's where I wondered one thing. If Sona and Mr. Orfina were discussing it, why is Celia here?

"Yeah? Then what happened to Celia?

"I was getting a little help with my work."

"Yes. Mr. Sona asked me to assist you,"

"Really... that's a fine thing to do"

Sona and Celia answered my question.

Apparently, Celia was assisting Sona.

That would be splendid. He's more decent as a knight than I am as a master.

"Ah... sorry, I have to go now"

"Oh? Is that it?

"Oh, I need a little help..."

"You were. Then I'm sorry I stopped you."

"No, I'll see you then"

So I remembered what I had to do.

I think we can still afford the time, but we can't talk forever.

So I walked away from the five of us.

◇ ◇ ◇

I kept walking around the base.

Then again, I see people walking in who I know from the front.

"Oh, Mr. Slade."

"Mr. Slade......"

The first thing I noticed was Mr. Cannon and Chiano.

But it's not just those two. It's a combination that I don't really know, and there are people I know.

"Slade......"

"Mr. Slade?

That's Dolgar, a man once obsessed with the Dark Demon Great, and Populi, a healing magician.

It's natural for Populi to be in the base, and I can expect Dolgar to have been called to hear the circumstances.

I just don't see why these four are walking together. Doesn't really seem like a combination with no contacts.

"Oh, actually, I was talking to you two about Flore."

"You mean Flore?

"Yes, I was asking Mr. Dolgar, who has the knowledge of the Dark Demon King, and Mr. Populi, who is familiar with medicine, what Flore will look like in the future."

Mr. Canon and Chiano explained to me how you perceived me like that.

Apparently, he was listening to you two in connection with Flore.

"I don't know much about Flore. I don't know all the memories of the Dark Demon Emperor, but at least they weren't in the memories I could explore."

"It's not like a normal dual personality, so what happens is unknown. It didn't help much......"

"I see..."

Neither of you seems to be quite sure of Flore's existence.

Flore is another personality of Chiano created by the forces of darkness.

Essentially, it's no different from a normal dual personality, but there are many mysteries about its nature.

"Well, whoever Flore is, he's another important person to me."

"Yeah, for me too, my other sister."

"... hey, what are you ashamed of... Ah, Flore is out"

But Mr. Cannon and Chiano are accepting about Flore.

So, maybe there's not much of a problem.

"Ah, it's time for me to go..."

"Oh? Can I help you?

"Yes, it is."

"Well, then, there's no reason to hold back any longer."

"Yeah, well..."

So I remembered again what I had to do.

I kind of just stopped to see people a lot. But we have to go fast.

That's how I walked away from the four of us.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was coming home.

Then Faraes had already come home.

"Slade, you were late, weren't you? Is something wrong?

"No, I'm sorry. I've seen a lot of people..."

"You were. Good, then. I was a little worried that something was wrong."

"I'm sorry about that..."

Apparently, Faraes was coming home while I was seeing different people.

Today, I wanted to go home first, but it didn't seem to work.

"That's fine. I don't know, I didn't have a problem with either of them going home first. I'm not late for the rendezvous. As far as I'm concerned, it's important that you weren't involved in anything."

"Right...... thanks"

Faraes speaks kindly to me like that.

This is one of the attractions of Pharaoh. It is inclusive or somehow kind.

"Um, both of you...... nice vibe, but do you know I'm here too?

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

So, Cletta called out.

Me and Faraes, staring at each other, turn a blind eye at once.

Speaking of which, Cretta was there. I think they've seen me embarrassed.

"Well, that's all right...... than that, if you both don't get there soon, the sun will go down, right?

"Oh, right. Shall we go, Slade?"

"Oh, let's do that"

In Cretta's words, we move.

I have to go today.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was coming to a certain place, along with Faraes.

That is where Pharaoh's parents sleep.

"I wasn't expecting you to come here..."

"No, Faraes met my parents, and I thought I'd have to see Faraes' parents too..."

I've been thinking about Faraes ever since he met his masters. I have to say hello to Faraes' parents.

However, there was a battle and there were no vacancies in the plans, so it was postponed until today.

"You'll be watching both of us. I'm sure he's happy."

"Really... maybe you're angry or something..."

"No, they were both wishing me happiness, so I'm fine. You can't be mad at me for making me happy."

To my concern, Faraes answers that way.

I have a lot of problems, but I hope Faraes' parents are happy.

"Come on, it's over to say hello, and it's time to go home?

"Oh......"

"Ah, Slade..."

"Yeah?... Huh?

So Faraes shook my hand.

The sudden action made me a little confused. Warm body temperature is coming from that hand.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"... Speaking of which, think we never even shook hands"

"... Speaking of which, you did"

"This is what lovers are for, isn't it?

"It should..."

Faraes has said such things, blushing his face.

Sure, we became lovers, but we weren't even holding hands.

More than that, it's a strange story even though you're doing more amazing things.

"I've never even had a date, and next time you two should go somewhere?

"Oh, the battle with the Dark Knight is over, and you'll have a little free time for a while,"

"Right... I think you've been really busy"

That's what I said to Faraes.

Sure, I've never even had a date. Though I've been busy, this is also a strange story.

"Hmm... I don't know, I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

"No, I wish I was a little more attentive too..."

"It's okay, I didn't care at all either..."

Somehow, I'm starting to feel sorry for Faraes.

I wouldn't have realized that, I would have been quite useless.

But I forgive Faraes for that, too. The kindness is truly appreciated. You just can't just be sweet about it.

Let's go home, then.

"Oh......"

Me and Faraes start walking slowly holding that hand.

From now on, I could do a lot of things I wanted to do. Good luck, let's make it happen.

"... Slade, holding hands is kind of embarrassing. I should have done something more amazing..."

"Oh, I wonder why..."

I've been reincarnated into this world, and I've got a lot of important things.

I won't make mistakes like the world before me anymore. In this world, I will survive.

My daily battle will continue.

End.
