An unexpected word poked me in the face.

I saw Cunei laughing a little farther away and turned again towards Rudell.

"Isn't it the Cunais?

"I'm not even interested in Silver Flash. What I'm paying most attention to right now is the black blade."

Looks like you heard it right.

Still... my fan.

It seems to have gained its name recently, but I've never thought of anyone who calls himself a fan of his chase appearing like this.

Immersed in a strange emotional depth, Yuo (Rudel) pointed at himself and wooshed closer to his face.

"Hey, stop. I think you're handsome, but I have a straightforward sexual habit."

"Unfortunately, I'd rather be a woman than a lover. More than that, do you recognize this face?

When they tell me, I try to remember Rudell's face again. However, I am more certain that I have definitely seen it, but I don't know what time it is.

"That's terrible. We were on the same battlefield together."

"Same battlefield?............ ah"

Hearing the word "battlefield", the first thing that came to mind was the Magic Beast raid - the battle between the thrones. Many mercenaries fought with me and the lizards back then.

"You... are the mercenary you were with when you fought the Demons from the Throne?"

"You finally remember."

Rudell exhales when he says he's stunned. At that time, I was full of heads about the demons and Eina, and I had little time to concentrate on other things. Perhaps I would have forgotten if I hadn't been told to face you like this.

"By the way, so is he over there."

Rudell pointed to an epic mercenary standing a little further away. The last one on our carriage.

Looking back, I knew I was there, but I wasn't as impressed as Rudell was.

"He's Gadis. It's mine."

Did you notice our gaze? The Epic Man (Gadis) turned his eyes on us and gently confessed and turned away again.

Rudell laughed bitterly at Gadis's reaction.

"It's not like I hate you. He's originally a man with a small number of units. Don't be upset."

"I don't mind that much."

When I answered with a gesture, Rudell nodded with a smile.

Still...

"Mikage is my fan anyway. Do you like things?"

"Do you want me to tell you that before I call my fans?"

"I mean... hey"

If you can chase me, I'd rather leave half the joke of a beautiful woman with plenty of breasts behind. I still don't really know how it feels.

"Well, I may not be very aware of it, but your fans are out there. Especially since most of the mercenaries on the throne are your fans."

"Seriously?

"Seriously, when you got two names for Blackblade, they were pretty boiling, me included."

I have witnessed the use of my "Great Demon Blade". I wonder what "black blade" means.

"... for that matter, no one ever spoke to me when I went to the union."

"A mercenary eating with one arm at a time. There's pride in it, and I can't say it out loud. Everyone's taking a stance of silence."

Speaking of which, and I recalled the reactions of other mercenaries within the union. Apart from the jealousy of being with Aina and the others, there were mercenaries who looked favourably. Maybe they're what Rudell calls "fans."

"For that, you've been calling."

"I was a quiet watcher either way. Luckily, I got my shoulders lined up at our request. It's a great opportunity to speak up."

"I don't know."

From a recoil that has lived a life that I don't care about at all, such as the gaze and impression of others. Regardless of ridicule or insult, it is difficult to respond to a favorable reaction.

"By the way, what kind of thing touched your string?"

"That's enough! The princess's pinch is a mess, and the famous one! Courage to stand up with indomitability no matter how hard you can be chased down! And finally, the sight of a mighty enemy cut to pieces without a single inch of fear! I need to be a fan of this. I'm missing emotions as a human being!

When I visited him with an interest in mind, I suddenly got a fever in Rudell's words. Until then, the second appearance was so exciting that it became the third one.

"Oh... oh, I see. That's nothing....."

"... ah, sorry. When I think about that time, I still have a fever."

Rudell shrugged his voice as if he had noticed how he was feeling. It's a response that's troublesome to comment on.

Rudell, who had regained his calm, opened his mouth again.

"Still, I'm sorry. It's really hard to tell a lot of people what you're doing, even though you can't help it."

"Is there a clamping order?

"If the King tells you to shut your mouth, you'll have to shut it."

Regrettably, Rudell exhaled.

"It's so painful that you don't have the opportunity to exhale the excitement inside."

Gram's words convinced me of Rudell's earlier momentum.

And then I noticed.

"What? I was there. Maybe..."

I turned to Aina by accident. When she noticed my gaze, she laughed and waved. I waved my hand back lightly.

Looking at our reaction, it seems that Rudell figured out what I was trying to say.

"Of course, I know who she is (...). But I'm not going to spread it. Same goes for the rest of them."

Good for you.

If Eina finds out that she's a real former princess, she'll be a major obstacle to future mercenary activities.

"Yeah, but I think you're a big fan, so it's okay to reveal who she is."

"Don't be careless. Don't put pressure on me. I'm not going to proactively name myself."

Cunei, Mikage, Aina.

I have always sworn to be a shameful man as their lover, but that's why I don't want to make my name widely known to the world. Becoming a secondary mercenary may make you aware of nature and my existence, but for me, that's enough.

"I understand that. Since I became a fan, I've been looking into you a little bit, but I knew about you."

"What? That's a little scary. Uh, am I being investigated?

"Think of this as a famous tax. Give it up."

No, there is a particularly embarrassing past that was investigated separately - as far as I can tell.

I came to King's Landing to buy a whore before building the brave one. Yeah, it's hilarious. "

I got a note from Gram that I'm not happy at all.

"Of course, I know why you came to this kingdom.... to buy a" woman ", right?

And Rudell whispered.

"Ofu...."

I fell off my shoulder with a strange voice when I was told what I was concerned about. This means that in some cases this fact has become widespread.

Does this mean it's going to spread even more if you're bad at it? What kind of punishment game is that? Isn't it too heavy for famous taxes?

"By the way, I wanted to ask you something when I saw you."

"What is it?"

Don't make me evil.

Unexpectedly, his eyesight gets worse, but Rudell doesn't seem to care.

"Is it true that you're with the brave?

"Oh, that's right. My hometown is true."

I had an unexpected question and honestly affirmed it. From the flow of the conversation, I thought you'd hear something about Cunei, but I wonder if he was a brave man.

But Rudell closed his mouth and blinked his eyes to see if my response was unexpected.

"... I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to answer me lightly."

"There's nothing to hide. I wasn't particularly close, but I have friends there."

However, it seems that we got a little closer to each other than we did the other day. I don't know if that means good or bad.

"But no matter what happens over there, it's going to look like I took advantage of you, right? What do you think of the area?

"Anything else."

"Whatever.... A friend of mine, right?

"No, that's why I'm talking about it."

Rudell is surprised to see my answer too unexpected this time.

"I can understand what the king said about the world. Besides, I got what I wanted the most (...), and it's a result that I don't complain about."

The reputation may have belonged to the brave (Relics), but the handle (Eina) is mine. If you're dissatisfied with me, that's the punishment.

"... you..."

Hmm?

"I don't know if you're humble or greedy."

"Really? People say I'm very selfish and arrogant, but I..."

--Especially for my back partner (grams).

I tapped the gram I had on the side. Couldn't read the meaning of the technique, Rudell leaned his neck.
