After that, the man, Rudell, shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I'm just here on behalf of my father. No, I'm usually forgiving myself for what I like, so why can't I refuse?"

"Do you mean... mercenary?

"Yeah, well. The heir to my parents' family is my brother upstairs, so my second son is a surplus. It's up to you to imitate mercenaries for the future."

"Hah... is that so?"

I return vague words to strangely self-abusive dialogues.

After the second son in nobility, it is only the reserve (...) of the eldest son, who is the heir. In the future, I may become the assistant to my eldest son, but some may enter another house as a son-in-law or leave home because I hate the world of nobility. "

Rayva will supplement it. In other words, the reason why he is a mercenary is to consider how he behaved when his eldest son became the principal.

The same goes for the peasants. Parents' fields are largely taken over by their eldest son, who helps them or opens new fields with his own hands. He will probably say the latter.

"By the way, I hear the brave man is from the same country as his Black Blade."

"... ah, ahh. You mean Yukina? Yeah, that's true."

I also know that Yukina was named "Black Blade" recently. It only takes a few moments to realize that Yukina is just a word I'm not used to hearing.

"Actually, the other day, I had another chance to work with him. No, I'm not talking about what happened."

There was a connection between me and Yukina, and he told me again about his connection with Yukina. I guess that's just it.

It's just what Yukina was doing while I was fighting in the cave. That's what bothered me.

"Yukina, what kind of work do you do with him?

"The outbreak of bandits near the town a short distance from the King's Landing meant the crusade and rescue of those captured."

He laid his hand on his jaw as Garbelt stroked Rudell's words.

"... yes, I've heard a bit about you, too. If you're not a second class mercenary, you'll be the one with the head and the bandits he leads destroyed."

"Yes, you're right, Mr. Garbert."

You know my name, too?

"Of course. It's the name of the top mercenary in the country. Of course I know the names of Theon and Mayuri."

When Rudell looked at each of them, the two gently confessed.

"Well, thanks to him, the Blackblade really saved me. No mercenary damage. Rescue all those who were captured. Miscounting the strength of the bandits gave me additional rewards from the lack of investigation into the union."

"That's... good."

It's a complicated mood for me to be praised for Yukina.

"Well, I'm sorry. It's a bad habit to keep talking when you get a fever."

I shook my head sideways to Rudell, who scratched his head.

"That's not true. It was a good time for me to hear about my friends back home."

"As long as you say so. Now, if you'll excuse me. I wish you luck, brave man."

Last but not least, Rudell passed by me with his squire.

Mayuri said after seeing him off.

"Yes, Rudel Gitanias. I remember."

"Do you know, Mayuri?"

Mayuri nodded mysteriously at Theon's doubts.

"Some neighborhoods are famous for their nobility. I don't seem to be very interested in power relations in the country, but I have a reputation for being a very good (...) player myself."

In Mayuri's story, it is said to be one of the best in Japan in terms of territorial management, and even if you are not interested in power, you can easily imitate its voice.

"And Rudel Gitanias. I have heard rumors that there are quite a few things about discerning human genius. It is said that there is a wanton habit, but it is also whispered to find talented people everywhere and invite them into their own territory."

"No matter how much of a second boy you are, you're just a prodigal son, so I won't nominate you for fame. That's how much you trust your abilities."

Gerbert nodded convincingly in Mayuri's explanation.

On the other hand, I felt more complicated than before. [M]

It is strange that I have a clear feeling of "losing" because I have left the results elsewhere this time.

Still, while I was fighting in the dark cave, Yukina was getting a new connection.

I knew very well that it was a lie in the middle of the day. But I couldn't stop my sense of confrontation with Yukina from spreading.

― ― On the other hand, speaking of Rudell, who was separated from Relics.

"Hey, he was a stranger to rumors, wasn't he?"

He was walking along the passage of the royal castle laughing in a good mood.

"He must be no less heroic than His Highness Yukina. I wonder if there is an impression that it's not interesting."

"That's right, I wonder what to say to the brave, young man."

Gadis complains to the cheerful Rudell. The tone was different from that of a mercenary: it was undoubtedly against the LORD.

Gadis is one of the people Rudell scouted personally for his fighting power and loyalty. He served as an assistant to Rudell both publicly and privately.

"But you're definitely interested in my story, aren't you?

………………

Gadis closed his mouth. Even though it was a picture star, it was said that it was not popular with the surrounding area.

As a nobleman, Ludel was hard to say seriously, but as far as the eyes of man were concerned, he had something shining. The current lord of the Gitanius family is undoubtedly also a capable lord, but one of the major developments in the current Gitanian realm involved Ludel's scouting abilities.

Attracted by such a person, he became a servant of the Gitanius family.

Whether or not he knew what was inside of Gadis, Rudell kept talking in a good mood.

"Nobody deserves a title as brave as him. There is also talent and honesty that does not scratch it. Nice personality and elegant appearance. It feels like the main character in the story."

... and Rudell added with a restraint.

"In other words, it's like being in a scheduled harmony. You know what that means, Gadis?"

"I can't tell with my own mind."

"I mean, just like the existing story, you can read it first."

The brave men of the story meet their companions through various hardships and overcome them with the help of many people. And finally, destroy great enemies and bring peace to the world.

A common flow that emerges in a common story. Exactly what we call scheduled harmony.

Or it could be called the "royal road", the iron rule of the story.

Had it been true (...), the trajectory painted by that brave man would have left a story tracing such a "royal road".

"But the black blade is different."

The story of the spinning of the black blade (Yukina) is almost impossible to predict the next development. Even as he was looking into him, Rudell was always excited as if he were reading a harsh adventure.

"The chaotic story has driven the harmony of plans that accompanied the story of the brave."

Whether it's good or bad - no, there is no human being in the world who can tell at this moment. It will surely be judged by the rest of the world after the end of this story.

Relics and Yukina.

Heroes and heroes.

Just the two of them, in contrast.

Combinations that would never have interacted with each other in their original form are living at the same time in this era.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of legend a man named Yukina is going to make.... if it comes true, I want to be part of that legend."

"... please really stop. I don't have them."

Rudell was extraordinary in terms of talent mining, but his wandering habits bothered all the people of Gitanius, including Gadis. If Rudell gets caught up in any more trouble, the effort will increase in one go.

"Hmm... let's give up"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Gadis sighed to the cheerful Rudell.
