It is for understanding the world view, and does not reflect a fine sense of distance, etc.

The next morning, we headed back to the Western Knights Branch.

An outdoor shop has been open there since morning, and I can hear you bickering in several places.

The Western Knights still seem to remain open outside the castle.

However, the news that the Knights Commander (Celestia) was detained yesterday should naturally have arrived, and I'm curious to see what's going on in the open air.

Near the building with the Western Knights branch, there are few (mostly) people now.

It was quite crowded yesterday - but it looks quite different today.

Seeing, there is no sticker yesterday in the Western Knights branch and only one soldier stands at the entrance.

"- Kay, what are you going to do?

Grace asked.

I show Grace the knight's chapter I took from the tail man (Jail).

"Of course, say hello."

When I said that, I laughed at Grace.

I put down Grace with a very anxious look, hold the knight's chapter, and speak to the soldiers guarding the entrance to the Western Knights Branch.

"- Ah, good morning.

I am Jail Rymund of the Western Knights.

I have an appointment with the Knights Commander. Connect me. "

Say so and show me the knight's chapter.

The soldier who saw me, with a face that clearly sees the suspicious, looked from top to bottom, and then began to ascertain my offered knight's chapter.

- I have no choice, I don't look like a knight at all, and I have two women with me. Whoever sees it is not a knight.

- Just a moment, please.

That's what the soldiers say and go into the branch.

The knight's chapter is real, so I guess I'll have to check it out.

Grace, who was watching the interaction, whispered to me.

"- In this country (Harland), identity fraud is a crime."

"- Don't be so hard."

Hearing my reply, Grace gave me the look of a man.

After a while, the soldiers who went inside come back.

I knew it was a suspicious eye.

But the word that came out of the soldier was the answer I wanted.

"- Please, come in.

However, the Knights Commander will not see you.

The vice president will see you. "

I'm not sure who the deputy commander is, but the first step is to break through the first gate.

Me, Grace and Sylvia went into the Western Knights Branch with nothing to eat on their faces.

The Western Knights Branch was a relatively simple building to build.

They have stairs inside, like an internal double layer (maisonette).

I don't have a very gorgeous impression of it, and it is an honest creation. It's kind of like school.

The soldier told me to go in there, pointing to the back front room on the ground floor.

The three of us go into the indicated room, checking everything around us.

The room you entered is a room of considerable size.

There was a desk in the front of the room, and there was a man who sat this way, and another man stood beside him to refrain.

The man in the front is a short-haired man with deep carved (ho) hair who came into the prosecutor's office cutting the lead.

I'm not wearing white armor right now, but I can tell I'm a trained body.

Perhaps this man is the deputy commander.

Plus, the man I refrained from on the other side (buckwheat) looked familiar.

"Welcome, Lord Jail Rymund"

A short-haired man in the front calls out to me and laughs at me.

Of course, but the short-haired guy knows I'm not Jail Rymund.

In addition, the man who stood by his side was Jail Reimund, who was following us.

I didn't care, I spoke to a short-haired man.

"Nice to meet you, Deputy Commander of the Western Knights which.

- May I ask your name? "

"I don't mind, but you're not going to try to name me after yourself?

That's what I was told, and I just laughed that I was losing it.

"Oops, this is rude.

- I'm Jail Reimund.

Nice to meet you. "

――――

The expression of a short-haired man gets harsher.

He reached out friendly from me, but he ignored it.

- You don't seem very tolerant of jokes.

As the short-haired man rose from his seat, he started talking to me again.

"I am Redmond Raynor, Deputy Commander of the Western Knights.

- I want you to tell me your name again. "

A short-haired man named Redmond asks me. My eyes aren't laughing.

I had no choice but to call myself a normal person.

"- It's Kay Arakawa.

An adventurer, as you can see.

This is my buddies Grace and Silvia. "

Redmond looked over at the three of us and nodded satisfied.

"Then I'll ask you...

I'd like you to tell me why the adventurers have come so far in the name of the Knights. "

The vice president of the Knights might be a nobleman for a moment.

As for what the aristocrats say about adventurer style, I guess they are going to be speaking quite politely.

However, from the attitude, there is an atmosphere that looks down from above.

When I approached my desk, I threw a knight's badge over it.

"There are two.

- The first is to deliver the forgetfulness of the undead, who have turned a good citizen around. "

I saw Jail Rymund holding back on the side (by his side). Jail doesn't look at us, he just looks directly in the front.

"- The second, Knight Commander, what can I do for you?

Well, I let him go until the tail, so I was wondering if he might be able to help us. "

That being said, the short-haired man (Redmond) walked around his desk a little before taking his seat.

"First -"

Redmond took a beat there and then looked at me.

"As for the Knight's Chapter, I will receive it.

Also, I apologize for inadvertently tailing you.

Thank you for bringing Jail back intact as a result. "

I look back at Grace and Sylvia.

Their apology is an expression that they accept honestly too.

Redmond looked at it and went on to say the words.

"So that's the second eye -.

Unfortunately, the Holy Knight (Daim) is not here. Therefore, I can't see him.

Also, I don't know why I left you guys behind.

Therefore, we cannot judge whether the Sacred Knight (Daim) is in need of you. "

- I get an extremely honest answer about both of the two things I tell you, without getting particularly emotional.

There were some images that felt direct when I saw them, but when I became vice president, did I also mean that I was used to dealing with them relatively calmly?

I ask Redmond again about the Knights Commander (Celestia).

"Knights Commander, where are you?

――――

Redmond did not answer. I think I need to stay a little bit protruded.

"- Oh, well.

Yesterday, you said you were detained on suspicion of conspiracy.

By now, you're awaiting execution, in a prison. "

I'll say it like it sounds as bad (fuzzy) as I can.

As a result, the deputy commander (Redmond) reacted in a grumpy manner as he spotted me.

"- The Sacred Knight (Daim) has not been conspired against."

"Ugh -.

Then why are you being held captive?

"They can't be connected, like in jail."

"If so, where is the Knight Commander (Celestia)?

"That's..."

Redmond stops saying things like that.

Why don't you come that far on the boulder...

Then Sylvia, who was listening to me and Redmond talk, pinched her mouth from the side just asking me to leave it to her if it was an operation to piss her off.

"- You, so what are you doing here?

Asked, Redmond doesn't understand what he was asked.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't you have something to do, like go help the Knights Commander, or excuse him?

Are you messing with me here? You, for a second, are you the painful one who thinks a guy's sentimental looks good or something?

- That's a little too much.

Even I would be hurt if they told me this far in person.

Nevertheless, Redmond even began to talk about how he was offended by being stuffed (grunted) by a woman on a boulder.

"The Holy Knight (Daim) is not in the kind of situation you have to help.

- You will be in the royal palace of your own accord. "

That's all I heard. I lay my hands on my desk and look forward.

"Deputy Commander which. I apologize for the disrespect so far. I'm sorry.

- But just tell me one thing.

Is the Knights Commander (Celestia) in a state where you can see him if you want to meet him or not "

Redmond looks at me with a harsh look on his face. I'm not trying to get back to you in particular.

I can put words on it.

"I might be able to save the Knights (Celestia)."

To the words, Redmond laughed.

"Huh, what does every adventurer say?

You can't even enter the royal palace. What power do you have? "

But I was even more glanced at and looked into Redmond's eyes and said,

"- Think about it.

Who did the Knights Commander (Celestia) deliberately release a tail against during the march...

“I can help the Knights (Celestia)".

If you don't believe me - well, until then. "

I took my hands off my desk and laughed niggly.

Redmond is unconsciously lagging behind, as he was slightly pressurized.

I looked back at Grace and Sylvia.

Sylvia raises her hands lightly when she says there's nothing she can do.

And that's when my voice rang from behind.

"- The Holy Knight (Daim) has been discreetly disposed of.

I can't get out of the royal palace, but I can see him. "

I look back at Redmond.

Redmond glanced at me and started talking.

"- Honestly, I don't know what to believe.

A call from the King's Capital (Ansel) was a forgery, which resulted in us moving the army without His Majesty's permission and charging the King's Capital (Ansel) with stuffing it, and the Holy Knight (Daim) was taken into custody.

But the sanctity of the Sacred Knight (Daim), I know. You never have the will to treason. "

"How can I meet the Knights Commander (Celestia)?

In response to my question, Redmond took his seat again.

"If you are a knight of the Western Knights, you can meet them.

Until the trial begins, of course. "

The look on Redmond's face I said that far is dark.

After a short silence, Redmond closes his eyes and begins to speak again.

"The problem is - that the Holy Knight (Daim) will not be tried to make excuses or petitions against His Majesty.

We also tried to persuade the Holy Knight (Daim) to regret not being able to spot the call for forgery. They're trying to take that sin spoiled. "

I listened to Redmond and came up with an idea.

In the first place, I thought it was just a serious group, such as the Knights, but Saint Knight (Daim) Celestia seems like a more serious person than I would have imagined.

Nevertheless, it was helpful to say that it was possible to meet with a limited number of human beings even as things stood.

Even if it was closed, I thought it would be pretty tough to see her in the first place. However, if it is possible to meet, it is likely that we can reach it by the time we meet.

But I don't know if I can make Celestia feel "like it" until I see her.

"I'd like to see the Knights Commander (Celestia), what can I do?

Redmond answers my question.

"As I said earlier, it is possible for Western Knights humans to go straight into the royal palace and even into a discreet room"

"So how do I accompany you there?

That said, the deputy captain (Redmond) laughed a lot before telling me.

"You're a western knighthood, too, so you're gonna let me into the royal palace, right?

“Jail Reimund, you..."

Hearing that, I again took the knight's medal I had thrown at my desk earlier.
