They say the Knights executives are going to banish me for being incompetent.

I see. Their words make sense, too.

I'm not helping the Knights in battle.

Although.

"Hey, who do you think raised this Knights so far? It's not Creon, is it? I've assembled strong members of the Knights, raised funds, and investigated the best targets for attack. That's why the Knights are now called the strongest in the Empire."

"You can self-admire yourself without so much shyness, seniors,"

Arte told me to scorn it. I looked to Cleon.

"Because it's true. Isn't that right, Cleon?

"Oh, I guess Solon's right. I appreciate Solon's contributions so far. But I'm not going to treat you like a founding member."

"From now on, you can't do this Knights without me."

"No, I'm not. I'm fine without Solon. If you work with Sophia, the captain, me, the new deputy captain, and Arte, all the problems will be solved. That's why you're kicked out."

"I don't think so."

"Even if you think so, we've decided we don't need you. That's for sure."

Me and Cleon stared at each other for a while. Eventually I sighed.

"It's fine to be kicked out. But you could have talked to me in advance."

No one answered my petty protest.

Garrells, the big man in the executive, took a seat. He is the key to the Knights defense. And Garrells was born in the Count's house, and he looked down on me every time I was a civilian.

Garrells looked at me like he despised me, and then he left the room.

To signal that, Arte and the executives all shut up and left the room.

Only me and Cleon were left behind.

Cleon was standing, staring down at me.

I stood up and offered Cleon my right hand.

Cleon looks surprised.

I said.

"It's a goodbye handshake."

"Solon, me and you are not one of them anymore"

"So you can't even shake hands? Then let's change the way we say it. We've known each other a long time since magic school. At the end of the day, let's break up amicably."

Cleon hesitated a little and then shut up and shook my hand back.

"You're no different, Solon."

"That's how you got stronger, Cleon."

"I used to be weak."

Cleon turned away and sighed.

"But now I'm a better adventurer. From now on, we will go to the ruins of the underground, ruled by more powerful enemies than ever."

"I wish you success."

"Oh. We knights can do it."

"You're only worried about Sophia."

"It's not something you worry about."

I shrugged my shoulder.

Virgin Sophia, like Cleon, has been my friend since magic school.

Sophia is the daughter of the Imperial Marquis, while I am the son of a noble servant.

Originally, they are very different identities, but as long as they are in the same magic school, nobility and civilians are equal.

Besides, when I graduated from school, I think I relied a lot on it. Sophia was a flying class and chief genius, but on the contrary, she was five years younger than me, and she was sick and weak. He was unknown and vulnerable to action.

So Sophia said, "You can't do this without Soron-kun" every time, and she was counting on me.

But Sophia, who became the Virgin, became so good that I wasn't even on my feet. Some of us are strong enough. Besides, unlike me, they're all nobles.

On the other hand, my abilities never grew. Maybe it's the difference in talent between nobles and civilians.

"Hey, Cleon. Is Sophia in favor of my exile?

"I told you. That's what all executives decided. Sophia agrees. You want me to meet him and check it out?

I shook my head to the side.

I guess that means I don't need it anymore, either, from Sophia.

Besides, the fact that Sophia's not here may mean it's hard to tell me to banish her.

Then, if you see Sophia, it just makes you feel awkward.

"Let me tell you something, Sophia thought it was for you and agreed to take it off the party."

"For me?

"From now on our enemies will be stronger. So maybe you get hurt or you die. Sophia's worried about that."

"I see."

By the time we didn't even form a party, that happened.

I companioned a girl who lacked strength and lost the child because of it.

Me, Sophia and Cleon have been careful not to make the same mistake again.

says Cleon.

"Solon. From now on, you're not the one protecting Sophia. It's my job, both public and private."

"Both public and private, that's..."

"Me and Sophia got engaged."

I was a little surprised, then convinced.

For a long time, rumors of Cleon and Sophia dating were circulating both inside the Knights and in town.

If that's the case, I was listening because I thought you'd tell me from either of us, but apparently it was a fact.

By exile, I mean that you two were dating, I guess I was always made an excommunication.

"Congratulations"

That's all I said, I got up.

Both Cleon and Sophia are capable of genius skin. She has good character and is a beautiful man and a beautiful woman.

It looks good on you.

I went back to my room and packed my things.

Assuming that I am a member of the Knights since its inception, I will be given considerable wealth.

The amount of money accumulated during the Knights also goes up to the capital of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

So, there's no trouble with money.

But even with the money, we don't have company to fight with. There are no goals.

Sophia doesn't need me anymore.

What am I supposed to do now?

I took a deep breath.

You can think about it now.

I want to have fun and relax on my own for a while.

Then it seems like it would be a good idea to go to Empire City. There are all kinds of jobs over there.

I'm sure you have some good options.

I'm not the vice president of the empire's strongest knighthood.

As just a regular magic swordsman solon, let's go.
