Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

88. Knight Commander's Choice

Remill Ayne was about to return to the office after the meeting. The five "Knights Leaders" who are in the kingdom - the opportunity to meet together would have been nice once a month, but now they are being summoned with a high frequency. The reason is simple. There is an imminent threat to this country, the Swordsmen.

Previously, it was aimed at "Princess Kensei" Iris Reinfel, and the matter was solved by the Black Wolf Knights while sacrificing.

Thanks to a boy knight named Alta Schweiz, to be exact.

Will I rely on you this time?

Swordsmen who are seen to be separated and staying in each of the five places. I leave that one person's response to Alta.

As for the remaining four, the elites in each of the Knights said they would respond.

... every knight would have a knight who could be called a 'tiger boy'. For Remill, Alta and Belle Torso, the "Ethereal Sword" he lost in the earlier battle, fell into it.

(... maybe not if I work all the time at the desk, either)

With that in mind, Remill goes back to the office. What I felt where I put my hand on the door was a sign of a person.

The signs were somewhere different. I've noticed this sign since before I opened the door. Not that I'm alert, but I felt something like a sharp gaze somewhere.

Remill touches the pattern of the sword he lowered to his hips and opens the door while alert.

It was - it was one girl there.

I look like a kimono more than I need to, and while I try to emphasize my chest, I don't even wrap my exposure around it.

It's rare around here, it's seen in Eastern countries. Just as Azma Klee, the swordsmen, was, the girl with the knife smiles at Remill.

"Welcome back, I've been waiting for you."

"- Is that Ruino Tomra?

"Mm, that's right. How do you know that?

The appearance features found in the report match. The intruder didn't look bad and was sitting on the couch.

"I know. That you broke one of the swordsmen alone... why are you here?

Remill asks only calmly. The most irregular presence in this case - that's the girl named Ruino in front of you.

We know that the swordsmen are after Alta. Revenge for the four of my people... I don't know if there's such a connection, but at least they're consigned for Alta.

It was this girl named Ruino who didn't know what the purpose was. The girl who was to be known for defeating the swordsmen, without any information that she belonged to some organization.

... the question is why is she here?

There's no pulling out of the Knights' security either - I can understand her high strength at a time when she's been scratching them easily.

"You hear something funny? Of course, it's because I needed you here."

"For, what?

"It's just a question. But I want to ask you something, too, so I'll answer. I've been trying to 'listen' a lot, but I'm talking about a knight of a kid named Alta, who's here, and I'm going to see him!

"... What can I do for you Alta? Let me ask you something instead."

"Hmm? Your sister doesn't seem bad, either, but I don't know if it's a little 'missing'. The sword, the knife, you have to shake it every day, right?

With a confirmed gaze, Ruino sees Remill at hand. You know you're already in a battlefield position, but Ruino's attitude remains only marginal.

Ruino says he came here for a purpose. From her atmosphere, I could perceive the approximate.

"Are you after Alta too?"

"You, too, means the swordsmen, after all. It's as tangled up as it was earlier... I'm not here for this."

"Earlier......?

"Better than that! Where's Alta?

"You think I'll answer that?

"I think you should answer that, huh? Well, I don't hate being so powerful, either. Hey! Hit."

Ruino grips the knife pattern. One touch instant - it's not strange when it comes to slashing each other.

What are you doing here?

That's when what I heard from the outside was a screaming knight's voice. When I hear that, Ruino frowns.

"Oh, I've been following you all this way"

"What the hell did you bring...!?

"I told you earlier. Even on my way here, I got tangled up."

With the words of Ruino, the door is cleaved with a sword.

Immediately reacting, Remill jumped off the spot. He appeared to be a fine man stained with blood all over his body.

"Sword, audience......!

The other visitor was unexpected.

The trend of the swordsmen is constantly confirmed even by the Knights. But it would be impossible to fully grasp their trends.

Including this girl named Ruino, she moves faster than you can imagine.

The swordsmen who emerged - Xenas Lardei stares at Ruino with a gnawed eye.

"Don't think you can get away with it."

"Hit me, he said he didn't run away. The destination is here, so I don't have time for you guys anymore!

In Ruino's words, there is no way Zenas can lend an ear.

Grasping a bright red sword in his hand, he slowly approaches Ruino with a drop of pottery and blood.

Remill's action was to capture both, if possible.

But all in terms of strength... even with a decent slaughter, Remill could lose. Besides, even the swordsmen have already broken into the kingdom.

To be clear, I can say it's an emergency.

Looking at Remill like that, Ruino smiles and says.

"Bye... let's make a deal. If you want me to meet Alta, I can help you, okay?

"What...?

That was the worst but most desirable option for Remill.
