Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

45. Running Knights Leader

"It's a special concern to come the day you call it in. That's my trusted knight, First Class Alta Schweitz. I don't know, even after this date..."

"Captain, the crew was looking for the paperwork."

"Haha, that's why you're hiding"

In the seventh warehouse of the headquarters of the Black Wolf Knights - in a sparsely populated area, there was a figure of Lemir Ayne, head of the Knights.

It's supposed to be my job as a captain to look through the paperwork submitted by the members every day, but as soon as I arrive, I'll be the feather of coming to a warehouse that can be called Remill's lair.

Until earlier, I held my knees and said "hey" and other light greetings with my face, but that makes me a little worried about the future because I'm one of the Knights Commanders of this country.

"Be who you are looking for..."

"But this is how you found it quickly."

"I almost know where the captain is going to hide."

"I'm happy to have good men."

"If you can say you're good at this, you have other better men, don't you?... Whatever that is, what are you talking about?

I ask Remill.

It's enough to summon me, so I guess we're talking about work, naturally.

"Fair enough. Let's talk a little bit about public life. How's school life these days?

"School life or instructor life... well, it's always the same. I have a test coming up, so I'm a little restless with the students."

"Huh, a test? I do need you to focus on that, yeah. Miss Iris, don't you have to worry so much?

"She's excellent, isn't she? Not only swordsmanship, but also magic-centric discipline - is that what you're talking about again involving Mr. Iris?

"Ha ha, again, and heartfelt. Don't forget that you're still standing by her side in her job as an escort."

"I haven't forgotten...... no way, it even happened in such a way that Mr. Iris' life would be targeted again, or something?

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

"Really?"

Don't worry about it first.

Because I could have expected that calling me now would definitely involve Illis.

But then was he called in for something that had nothing to do with Illis?

"Although Miss Illis has something to do with it. No - it's going to matter, but should I say"

"... are we going to have a relationship?

"Oh. You haven't talked to her yet, but she would definitely take it on. Soon, the people of the Empire will come here."

"! Empire, is it"

The Falmea Empire - A kingdom is a great power situated next to each other, a country that was at war with the kingdom until just over a decade ago.

Although we are now supposed to be in a state of ceasefire and friendship... in fact, we are not in the middle of a completely friendly country.

"It's been planned for a long time. Kingdom and Empire - The Two Powers Make Friendship in a Real Way...... one of the plans for that. Working with the Imperial side to hold the event, I come for that inspection... where I will need someone to take on the role of referral"

"Over there, nobles, this one needs to have a human being in that position, too," he said?

"That's right, it's quick to understand and helpful. The imperial side is the apex of the military - Miss Ayna Boardle, daughter of Lord Rugar Boardle, is visible. Other nobles and their branches will follow, but the biggest one is her."

"Are you saying that Mr. Iris is the one who will be responsible for guiding that Aena?

"Of course, there are other candidates. Miss Illis would be the most powerful of the Four Nobles. On the next point, it will be Miss Marcia Fallman, the current second candidate. Or both..."

"Anyway, if Mr. Iris takes on that role, I need to be on the spot, too - is that right?

"That's what I'm talking about"

The Escort of England - rather than, I suppose, just in case there is nothing human on the imperial side, is also the primary reason.

But if Illis doesn't take on this role, it certainly doesn't seem like my job either.

(... I think I'm gonna take it)

That was the only honest feeling I had.

If you're thinking about the future of the kingdom and empire, one of the important roles is to guide you through the kingdom.

Iris himself does not want to be the King, but he will be the first to receive that story if there is a possibility that he can deepen his friendship with his neighbour, both as a nobleman and as a knight.

Though I don't want you to choose that kind of path that involves danger on your own as an escort... that's just an idea as a single escort.

"... Mr. Iris would definitely take it, so I'll tell you from me too - this is the kind of thing you want, right?

"Ha ha, I'll give you a hard time too."

"If you think so, you can raise my salary a little bit, right?

"You're a first-class officer, so you'll be getting paid quite a bit. Is it not enough yet? Are you a gold victim?

"It's money you don't have a problem with."

"Exactly... don't you think there's something more important in this world than that?

…… What is it? "

"Love -"

"Captain! Are you here?!?

So, the sound of a dong-dong knock on the door hard reaches my ear.

Vikri and Remill shook their bodies.

Looks like they found the crew looking for Remill.

"I didn't expect you to rush in such a short time... you're starting to do it"

"If you are impressed...... Get to work."

"Sure, I'll do it later. Later, but I didn't say when."

"That being said, I don't think we can get away from here. I'm here too."

"Nah...... did you tell me where I was...!?

"Captain, I know what's more important than money in this world."

pointing a dusty look at Remill.

"I want you to be more trusted by your men."

"Haha...... I still think he's a trusted captain enough!

Remill says so, while kicking the ground.

Standing on top of a locker in the warehouse, he began to force the ceiling wall open.

"... so I asked you to do something with Miss Illis!

Remill escapes from behind the ceiling, as will be left to say.

Structurally, it's connected outside the warehouse...

"How much I don't want to get caught... Well, the exits are all sealed off."

"Thank you for your cooperation, First Class Alta Schweitz. If you block the ceiling, the captain is already a rat in a bag."

The woman who came in with the door to the warehouse open greets me that way.

I'm someone who can work...... it seemed like I really had a habit of skipping this way.

I don't even know how I feel because the head of the regiment will be busy with his work, but that's the other way around. I also feel tired.

Perhaps Remill enjoys it, including that.

I'll thank the knight who picked up Remill, too, and I'll be right behind you.

My next job is to have a strong involvement with the Empire - shall I start by telling Illis when I get back?
