Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai
165. Knight of the Night
--Two men were walking around town at night. Each wears Knights armor. The men were knights, walking around the town at night.
Basically, we will patrol the fixed route to see if there are any abnormalities.
The town, where many people had already slept, was quiet, and there was no change.
I'm free ~
Potsli and the young knight who is still old spill such a light mouth. The man who responded was the one who walked next door.
"It won't be free. I'm working right now."
The name of the man to blame is Zaida Eiffel.
Belonging to the Knights of the Black Wolf, the rank is "First Officer" - a veteran who has been serving as a knight for more than 15 years. Being a First Officer is often a task related to the crusade against dangerous monsters and the importance of the country, and it is only a person who is recognized for his abilities.
Zaida is now primarily in a position to mentor juniors.
That's why I took the initiative to take part in the patrol.
"I know. You're just a little stupid."
The young knight listened to Zaida's words and answered slightly disagreeably. It's not that I'm not serious, but I still don't have enough awareness as a knight.
It is his role to guide these people.
"If you have time to be stupid, do your job."
"That's why I know.... that said, I'm free these days, really."
"It's good that we're free. It's a delicate thing to say that you're really free."
"You mean Captain Ayn?
When the young knight asks, Zaida nods and answers.
"That's right. The Captain is wearing the Knights now."
Commander of the Knights of the Black Wolves - Remill Ein. While still in his twenties, he has assembled one of the five Knights to defend the country.
Formerly active in the field, she now focuses on deskwork.
But the fact that Remille is capable of these tasks is also evidence of his excellence. Zaida had worked with her, who had just joined the knight.
At that time, Zeida began to think that she would eventually be able to protect this country... as a Knight Commander.
One of the knighthood candidates, Zaida, is also trying to raise knights to support Remille.
"Well, that's tough, right? You don't have a candidate for deputy commander over there?
"I don't think he's gone. It's just that it's not that easy to decide. The Knight Commander... is not just a representative of the Knights."
Really?
"Oh, just remember that. Commander Ayn won't be interested in power, but... more than being a Knight Commander. Many knights admire a knight who leads a knighthood. 'Cool' or 'I want to be born' - for a variety of reasons. But actually becoming a Knight Commander is more than just leading the knights of this country. Their abilities are recognized and they must fight all kinds of 'enemies'. In a sense, it's a lonely existence. The nominee is not necessarily aiming for the position. Whether it's a takeover or a takeover - it's just a stupid 'power struggle'. The Knights of Armor is in that situation."
Of course, not all of Zaida's opinions are true.
Some knights think so, but others do not attach themselves to power like Remille and try to fulfill their duties as "knights."
However, it is difficult to identify the talent now.
Hayron Stilette, the Knights of Armor captain, might have had some trouble keeping an eye on his successor, but he just seemed to be looking for a replacement.
As a result, Remille became the Acting Commander.
Whether Halon awakens or stays awake... I don't know, but the Knights of the Holy Armor problem will last for a while anyway.
"... it's such a difficult problem. I hear the Knights of the Holy Armor have some elite knights. If you put that together, isn't it easy?
"I guess. Considering that he is the next candidate for the post of Commander, yes. Those who can take on heavy responsibilities need to be prepared."
"That's how it is. I wish I could go around at night like this."
"Because it's easy, right?
"It's not that kind of thing, but you're saying it's just right...?
Properly enough. It can be said that it can be explained. But why did you want to be a knight?
"Eh, are you listening to that now? I'm a little embarrassed to hear it again....."
"If you don't want to answer. But 'What made you a knight?' - don't forget the answer."
Zyda said so, and the young knight showed a slight facial expression.
Perhaps you didn't expect me to talk like this on a night tour.
Fu, Zaida smiles.
"Follow that answer and do exactly what you have to do now -!"
…… Zaida-san? "
Zaida signals the Young Knight by hand to stop him.
'It' suddenly appeared in front of both of them.
Gashan, Gashan, and metallic sounds echo around.
It soon became apparent that it was the rubbing sound of armor.
In the Dark Night - The Dark Darkness that cannot be seen without staring at it. One of the knights appeared before them.
But it's not like Zayda or the Young Knight. is wearing armor that does not belong to any Knights in this country
Stop, who is it?
……
Zeida's words are not followed by the dark knights.
Tsk, tsk, one step at a time, we're definitely getting closer to both of them.
In that strange atmosphere - the young knight retreats unexpectedly.
--Zaida immediately gave instructions to the Young Knight.
"You go back to the barracks. There is a suspect south of" Avan Street. "Ask for backup", give this a message. "
"Eh, oh, support... Zaida-san!?
Fight back...
Together with the words, they moved at the same time.
Zaida and the Black Knight's Sword intersect and reverse.
Suddenly, the young knight couldn't hide his upset, but Zeida shouted loudly.
"Go! A message is your job!
"Ha, yes!
As Zayda said, the young knight ran away.
The dark knights don't even look at the young knights.
Apparently, they're going out with Zaida. Zeida laughed when it was convenient.
Tsujitsu is a surprise. Or rather, choosing a knight to fight. Is that black armor... a dead suit?
……
(This guy....)
Zeida's words are unresponsive.
I'm ignoring it... but I don't think I've heard a word.
In addition, I can tell from this confrontation - I can't feel the killing intent, and it is a strange feeling that there is indeed a knight with a sword, but he is not here.
Zaida puts her strength into the sword and plays the knight's sword in black.
The dark knight also reacted quickly to it.
The swords of each other will cross again.
Since the lights had already been thrown on the ground, we could not see each other completely.
But even so, they fired the sword without hesitation and took it.
Sparks generated by sword collisions occasionally illuminate each other.
The Dark Night duel, which suddenly began, was settled by the time the Young Knights returned with support. Leave only a friendly blood trail.
