Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

I rented a room in the academy and spoke to the knight of the girl who came to report.

- It was yesterday. It was said to have occurred in the area controlled by the Knights of the Black Wolf, the area controlled by the Fencor and the Knights of the Holy Armor, and the Orenso.

There were three knights who were injured, all of them first-class officers. One of them, Zyda Abel, a First Officer of the Knights of the Black Wolf, is missing.

According to the knight's report that he was with, Zaida disappeared after a battle with the knight wearing dark armor.

Given the amount of blood left on the scene and the absence of the knight, Zeida, it is highly probable that he was killed and that his body was recovered - yes, the knight who verified the scene is expected.

We searched the vicinity of the scene, but no evidence was found to lead to the perpetrator, but it was also committed by multiple criminals due to the incident in the same time zone.

"I understand the whole story. So, on special alert, at least two knights above the rank of First Officer... is that it?

"Yes! Since the three knights who were harmed are first class officers, the killer is aiming for 'more than first class knights'. The murder of three First Class officers in one night is unprecedented."

The Knight Girl is right.

In the Knights of the Kingdom, first class officers are ranks awarded to high-powered knights.

If I were the Knights of the Black Wolf, there would be only a few of them, including me.

The two knights who were confirmed to have been killed were first class officers of the Knights of the Holy Armor, and it appears that a complete state of alert has been put in place there.

--Even though the Knights Commander is injured and is still awake, it would be a huge damage to the other Knights.

And it will be a heavy situation for Remill, who manages both Knights.

Maybe that's why you sent a knight to contact me as soon as possible.

"First Officer Alta Schweitz needs to be alert around the campus. Especially since we are not only here for Iris, but also for Aena."

"... that's right. I'll try not to get too far from school - but that's normal. So," at least two "means that some of the knights will accompany me?

"Yes! That's me!

The knight of the girl who answered my question well and respectfully. [M]

I looked at her again with a little surprise. [M]

Whatever I say now, she looks pretty young. [M] Is that why I'm a little older than the British?

As far as I heard earlier, it was "two first class officers"....

"Um, so you're a first class officer, too?

"Yes, that's right!... ah, if you say so, you haven't even named it yet!? I'm sorry! My name is Helen Truthor - I just rose to the rank of First Officer in the Knights of Armor the other day!

"Well, helen of the Knights of Armor, huh? Helen Torso?

I didn't think of it, and I heard the name back. [M]

Then Helen, the knight of the girl, answers with a bitter smile.

"... Ahahah, Alta may not have met much, but do you remember Bel Torso, the Knight of the First Class, who belonged to the Black Wolf Knights? Belle is my brother."

"I see. Was that Belle's sister?"

Helen was right, I didn't know Bell.

Azure Sword ― That was his alias. With the swift sword fire called "The Blue Flash," Bel Torso must have been the most powerful knight in the Black Wolf before I entered.

In fact, even after his death in battle with the Swordmen, a voice that spared his death came into my ear.

But I never heard of him having a sister.

It is also true that, like Bell, he has risen to the rank of first class cavalier - brothers and sisters, undoubtedly capable.

When she thought about what to say, Helen opened her mouth first.

"Don't worry about my brother, okay? The Knights of the Black Wolf have a lot of dark faces, especially when they ask my name... but my brother 'fought well as a knight'. I'm so proud of my brother, I never want to talk about it in the dark."

"... if that's the case. I didn't know him very well either, as you said, but I still hear his name. He must have been a great knight."

"I think my brother would be delighted if Alta could say that! After all, Alta is now the" youngest knight ", right? I've heard about my brother being a little conscious before. I'm a little - no, I'm pretty conscious! Melamella!

Helen held her fist tightly.

I heard about Bell from Remille, but his impression was of a quiet young man. In contrast, my sister Helen has a very bright personality... and it feels like she's also hot blood.

"Ahahah, I'm not such a big deal. But I am a fellow knight who will act together from now on. Work with each other to complete your knighthood."

…… Yes! Thank you!

I shake hands with Helen. [M]

--The Knight Killer. I don't know what the intention was, but there was a man in my head. [M]

"The Man Who Names Raul Isaac." Even the first officer's knight opponent will certainly not take a draw.

... but in this case, three knights were attacked almost at the same time. Assuming it's relevant, there are several other powerful swordsmen on the enemy's side.

It's hard to imagine that there are multiple Kensei classes, but the enemy must be quite capable anyway.

I was going to talk to Remille about my relationship with Anna, but I don't think I'm going to be able to talk to her for a while after sending Helen.

In the meantime, should I confirm the trend of Remille?

"I'd like to ask you one thing, is Captain Ain with Orenso now?

"Yes, I have dealt with this case and I can't let go of my hands over there... after all, you mentioned that there is a 'plan' for this case! I don't know the details, but if there's any progress, we should be in touch."

"I see, I understand. So what if we act on our own?"

Yes!

Helen answers cheerfully with a smile.

Remille is Remille and seems to be able to act.... I don't want you to do anything more than know what the enemy is after, but if she has an idea, she'll have to wait for the report.
