Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

It didn't take much time to visit the Black Wolf Knights headquarters, and with Aena we were set to travel to our next destination.

There are also more limited places to visit than the original - if you can move somewhat freely, Aena may have invested a little more in the tour as a soldier as well.

For once, I had a good eye for the knight's training landscape.

That kind of thing seems more intriguing.

... Rather, it was the Iris who had an overtly happy look on his tour of the Knights.

I'm only pretending to be nature, but I'm more lustrous in my expression than I was earlier.

Because the profession of knight is admirable to Illis, naturally.

Well, from an Iris standpoint, it's hard to be a knight immediately, even if you have the strength.

Especially since the upstream nobleman, Iris, will need a background that he has truly graduated from school - only if he cares about his eyes from around him.

That, and the position that Illis could still be the King. No matter how much she didn't feel about it, she'll also understand that it's not an easy story to say no.

(… for now, shall we concentrate on the work of escorts?)

I switch my mind.

The number of reorganized knights is roughly half the number compared to the first one - if that's how many people are different, it's easy for me to cover them alone.

Instead, I'm proud that as long as I'm beside Aena, there's no problem in terms of combat - I'm just the type of person who specializes in direct combat myself. Given that Aena and Merche's style of combat is uncertain, but naturally the two of them don't count toward battle power, there are aspects of my role and that of Iris in battle.

Therefore, for the other escorts, we will have all those who specialize mainly in backward support, and also those who have the role of escorting their knights.

If there were to be the most troublesome problem...... that Aria would come to this occasion.

(I'd like to avoid that if possible. For not being able to grasp Aria's trend, should I rather think that she would be grateful if she came out...)

With that in mind, I stop moving where the carriage is.

It's a little far from the school, the Magic Guide Library - a place where knowledge of magic is gathered.

"Where's next?"

"Yeah. Kingdom-designated protection facility - which means this is also one of the places the Knights manage."

"... Hmm. So, do you want to visit early and go next?"

That's what Aena says, she gets out of the carriage.

It often conveys something called her personality around the beginning of walking without waiting for Merche or Illis.

- As was the case when I toured the headquarters of the Knights, but somewhere she seems to make a huge difference where she's interested.

He expressed particular interest in the training landscape at Headquarters and also listened in detail to the background of the past Knights Commander.

- Mainly, they're interested in things about the battle side. In that sense, the personality doesn't seem similar, but I still feel a similar part to Iris.

Either way, Illis is keenly interested in becoming stronger himself.

Aena didn't just go so far as to the field of combat and her past background - she also seemed interested in its history.

Even the Magic Guide Library may be of interest if there is anything useful in terms of combat, but this is also a highly classified tour place.

(Besides, I usually even let sightseeing and other things slip my mouth... As for what interests me, other than that, I guess it's the kind of thing I want to finish.)

Do an analysis on a girl named Ayna - in her role as an escort, this is one of the necessary tasks.

Even when I was in England, I had come a long way to be an escort.

If I have time, I wish I could have a conversation with Ayna, but when I send Ayna my gaze, she will be pretentiously and blatantly avoided.

(Hmm, I'm not going to do anything you don't like... I hate younger children, or...?)

"Dear Alta"

"! Mr. Merche?

It was Merche who came down to me walking backwards, calling out unexpectedly.

The guide to the Magic Guide Library is also spearheaded by the administrator who works there.

While Aena and Iris were listening, Merche came all the way to me.

"It's about Dear Aena...... you may feel a little cold from earlier. Apologize from me on that point. Sorry, sir."

Merche bows her head at me on purpose.

I guess it's because she's Aena's subordinate that she has a lot of opportunities to hold onto things in these situations.

He would still be about a student at his age, but he's a well done kid.

"No, I don't care. Because I'm only an Iris associate."

"It would be helpful if you could say that. Am I to say that Aena will go my way? Not that it's hard, but I don't like anything I'm really bad at..."

…… I see? "

"So would you like me not to feel bad about Aena... rather, what do you think, etc..."

"Huh?"

"No, forget about that one now"

Merche's words were somewhere, something I couldn't grasp the gist of.

I know somehow what I'm trying to say, but it's like I'm hiding something I really want to tell you somewhere......

I'd rather hear something from me - I could even feel the vibe.

Hilariously, Merche sends her gaze to Ayna once as she talks.

Aena remained the same and continued to talk to the administrator of the Magic Guide Library.

Confirm that once and then Merche accidentally turns the story around.

"... So, Master Alta. When did you and Aena meet?

I say that with the look of Merche being full.

I'm sure that's what she wanted to hear.

But there's only one thing I can tell you.

"... whenever, for the first time today,"

"... Huh?

To my answer, Merche turns her eyes round.

I was going to answer that as a matter of course, but it seemed unexpected to Merche.

"Oh, was it because you were disguised..."

"... disguise, is it?

"No, this is the story. I'm sorry, we had a weird conversation. See you later."

Merche bows her head again and walks away from under me.

I don't know what the intent was... but I can somehow guess.

(Me and Aena met once... I guess so. Oh, I guess I had that opportunity...)

In retrospect, if you met someone in a position like her, you would definitely remember.

... After a meaningful question, I thought about it for a while, but the conclusion was to settle down to the point that I had never met him.
