When My Younger Sister Enrolled in a Female Knight Academy, She Somehow Became a National Hero. Or R

Chapter 24 – A Feat That Doesn’t Exist Unless You Go Back 1300 Years

It has been a month since I returned from my trip for the Strongest Royal Female Knight Academy mid-term examinations.

Recently, Suzuha and I have been hanging around the Duke’s mansion all the time.

“Training using the resurrection magic circle at my house, and having Suzuha’s older brother massage before and after training would be the most efficient, wouldn’t it?”

As per Yuzuriha-san’s words, Suzuha was dragged along and went straight to the Duke’s mansion with Yuzuriha-san after school, and a carriage was also sent for me to join them.

And the two of them would train with high intensity until evening, and I help them with their training.

After finishing training, we would borrow the bath at the Duke’s mansion, and dinner would be prepared for us every time after the massage. It’s truly a luxurious treatment.

And as you’d expect from a duke’s residence, the food is all high-class and absurdly tasty.

…Arthur-san, the head of the Duke family, is also at the dining table, so I can’t help feeling a bit nervous. But other than that, everything is perfect.

Then one day…

While having dinner, the Duke, who usually doesn’t speak much, unexpectedly started talking.

“Three days from now, our Duke household is hosting an outdoor party. I’d like both of you to attend, if it’s convenient for you.”

“Oh, yes. I’m fine.”

I’m still scheduled to train at the mansion that day anyway. I’ll just cancel it.

“I am very grateful for everything the Duke has done for me, so I am willing to help in any way I can. Whether it’s carrying luggage, providing security, or doing any other menial tasks.”

“What are you talking about… No, you said you’d be willing to help with anything, didn’t you?”

“Of course!”

I firmly asserted.

At that moment, for some reason, I thought I saw a gleam in the Duke’s eye.

“I see. Then you’ll be Yuzuriha’s escort at the party.”

““EHHHH!?!?!?””

Me and Suzuha couldn’t help but raise our voices.

＊＊＊＊

Upon closer listening, I heard that the outdoor party was not only hosted by the Duke but also a welcome home party for Yuzuriha-san.

A party to celebrate the triumphant return after having encountered the wandering white-haired vampire.

To have survived without losing a single person in a battle against such a powerful foe, a demon who is known as the destroyer of nations, is an overwhelming triumph. The Duke’s words are convincing and understandable.

“But people might think that’s a hoax.”

“What are you saying? Isn’t there the arm of that demon that you cut off?”

“Ah, do you still have that thing?”

It was the right arm that I sliced off from the demon’s shoulder, after it cut through Yuzuriha-san’s body.

The demon herself will have regenerated her right arm by now.

In that sense it’s like picking up the tail of a lizard.

“…I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the record of cutting off even a part of the body of that demon, the wandering white-haired vampire, didn’t exist until 1300 years ago.”

“Eh, really?”

“At that time, only one finger was cut off, and the man who accomplished it later became the overlord who unified the continent.”

“That’s amazing.”

“That’s why, you’re so… No, nevermind it. Anyway, you’ll be introduced to the world as a young hero who saved my daughter’s life and cut off the demon’s arm. Prepare yourself.”

The Duke said something outrageous and unbelievable.

“W-Wait a minute!”

I would be very troubled if that happens.

I am, after all, a commoner who just happens to know the Duke’s daughter.

If I’m presented in such a ridiculous way, I will attract the attention of the aristocrats and will inevitably have to deal with unwanted criticism and trouble.

There may even be stupid aristocrats who think I have power and will try to take me in.

I don’t want that kind of trouble.

Because I am just a modest commoner.
