When I woke up at the training ground, I had no other thoughts. Because this is the place where people swing weapons to death every night.

I heard that it’s great because you don’t have to worry about the fatigue of real life if it’s a training ground.

Today, I will test the knowledge I gained from the castle against my grandfather!

Today I’m going to give you a real punch!

And then they’ll laugh at you a lot! Grandfather is also a waste of time! He will tell you!

I will change the ending where I always fall down at the end!

I was very excited, raised my shield and mace, and stepped forward in triumph. I saw the man sitting sullenly next to my grandfather…

man? Is it a man?

The body type is clearly male, but it looks pretty.

The graying hair makes him look older, but other parts of him only make him look like he’s in his forties at best.

What can I say? He looks like someone who would be called Mother in a mafia movie.

hmm. As I keep watching, I feel a sense of déjà vu.

Is this someone I know? If it’s a character from Soul Academy, there’s no way I’ll forget it.

Ugh. I don’t know. Who on earth are you to come into my mental world?

I looked toward my grandfather, hoping for an answer, but he didn’t say anything and was looking at me and my grandmother back and forth with expectant eyes.

ah. You want to see me in trouble, that’s it? You look like a scolded old man.

“What are you going to do if you drag me here and panic like that?”

…wasn’t she a woman!? I thought he was a big old woman like Rasha, but he was just a pretty guy?!

awesome! Even when he gets older, he looks like this, so how good was he when he was younger!

I was trembling with jealous thoughts and suddenly realized the true nature of my sense of déjà vu.

There is only one handsome man that my grandfather treats with friendliness.

“Nice to meet you. Kid. I’m Garrad. This is the knight who fought alongside this idiot.”

“A gangster like you is a hero? It’s amazing. You looked like you were wearing a skirt and clinging to the stronger side to fawn over them.”

‘hello. As the simple words ‘Garad-sama’ flew out of his mouth in an irreversible twist, Garrad blinked and turned his head to the side.

As if he was trying to check if he had heard something wrong.

“Khahaha! Not just a grandmother, but a gangster grandmother!”

The grandfather, who failed to hold back his laughter at the bewildered look in his eyes, laughed cheerfully, and Garrad, whose face was red, grabbed him by the collar.

“Did you order it!?”

“That can’t be possible! That guy is not the kind of person who would tell me to do something! right. Lucy?”

“Everything an old man does is just as old. I don’t do it even though I think it will smell like an old man.”

The grandfather stiffens, as if his laughter just now was a lie, and this time Garad bursts into a cheerful laugh.

“Hahaha! ah! is it! What a rude little boy! That’s it!”

“Grandma Major? Are you that excited about hearing swear words from a girl?”

“I am also human. It’s not fun to hear swear words.”

“Hey. Really?”

“Then. It’s just familiar. In the era when I lived, being a female knight was a job you couldn’t have unless you had a dirty personality.”

“…That’s right. I had to be strong to be with idiots who were closer to monsters than humans.”

Come to think of it, my grandfather was like that once. The reason chivalry was created was to educate knights who thought it was pride to be stupid.

It is only now that the concept of chivalry has become widespread, but in a time when such rules were harsh enough to be necessary, knights were probably closer to barbarians.

And any female knight who survived among those knights would definitely be a person so strong that you would get sick of them. Like Rasha.

“And that’s it. I was worried that this guy, Ruel, would make me talk about nobleness and nobleness, but I also feel fortunate that he is an honest child. If there are two guys like this who have a hard body and head, it’s really annoying.”

“It was a long time ago. It’s not that bad now.”

“I guess so. If it were like before, I would have made that kid sit down and nag him all day.”

“Wow. Grandpa. Was he such a grumpy old brat?”

“It was a long time ago! It used to be!”

Garad, who was laughing as he watched his grandfather being disgusted, soon turned his gaze towards me and lowered his head.

“Thank you.”

“Did you really like hearing swear words? Are you trying to ask me to step on the thing that is bowing down right now? Wow. It’s disgusting.”

“…It’s difficult to talk about what I’m thankful for. hmm. If I were to sum it up in one word, it would be that I am grateful that you exist.”

“Are you even going to work on it now? The gangster old man had a hobby of cross-dressing and was a pervert who liked girls so much that he didn’t know what to do. The truth is cruel.”

“That’s not what you’re saying! You damn kid!”

“Do you get angry because you are rejected? It’s so pathetic that I can’t even laugh at it. Phew. Pity me.”

His white skin became angry and red, and Garrad kicked the ground and tried to get up, but his attempt was crushed by his grandfather’s hand.

“Calm down. That’s the curse that child has. No matter how merciful the great Lord is, he would not make an apostle of a child who does not know respect.”

“That… I guess so.”

Garad sat down again with a sigh, ruffled his white hair, and looked at me again.

“I’m sorry. I should have noticed first, but I didn’t notice.”

It was refreshing to see someone else apologize to me first. Because I was always the one who made the mistake first.

It was the same this time too. Garrad was the one who should be angry.

Despite this, he lowered his head without any hesitation.

“Luel. You are at fault too. You should have told me in advance.”

“I’m sorry. I was planning to tell you in moderation, but I missed the opportunity.”

There was no difference just because he was a grandfather. He erased the smile from before and apologized sincerely.

“First of all, I want you to know that there are no lies in saying thank you. To you who willingly took on the burden that our incompetence left behind. To you who tried to embrace even the regrets I left behind. We express our gratitude and respect to the tiny little hero.”

Standing in front of sincere gratitude, I unconsciously wondered if it was okay to receive gratitude from such an adult.

“So please ask for anything. I will help you with whatever I can.”

I also wanted to express my gratitude for the hero’s tribute, but I bit my lip because I knew that things would turn strange the moment I said those words.

“I heard from Ruel that I received the blessing of understanding my weaknesses.”

“Ugh. Asking questions behind my back…”

“Don’t talk, just listen. Anyway, let me tell you how to use it. Cheap fighting, taking advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses and destroying them, is my specialty.”

Arthur followed other knights into the fairy forest, but he was not chosen by any fairy.

I heard a lot of people say thank you, but when they told me about signing the contract, they said, ‘I’m a little upset.’ ‘I’m sorry.’ hmm. Sorry!’ He ran away with those words.

I would feel better if the fairies hated me! Then, wouldn’t he have passed it on like everyone else, thinking there was nothing he could do about it?

What is my problem? What’s the problem, so you say you don’t want to be together even though you have goodwill?

Arthur, who was shaking his head in shame as he remembered what happened back then, sighed deeply and leaned forward.

The only consolation was that there were very few people chosen by the fairies.

Probably because there were very few people who met the conditions Lucy had mentioned before.

In reality, all aspects of those chosen by the fairies were understandable… not all.

Above all, I don’t understand why an apostle of the Arts Church was chosen by a fairy. How did this person, who seems to be the complete opposite of pure, receive the favor of a fairy?

– If you think that way, you become less pure than that pervert.

Arthur, who stiffened with his eyes wide open at what Soladin’s piece said, soon shook his head.

no. That can’t be possible. No matter how bad I am, I can’t be more vicious than a pervert who gets a nosebleed while revealing to a girl.

– If you come to your senses, quickly open the page that contains information about the coming-of-age ceremony.

“It will happen even if you don’t say it.”

On the outside, the sculpture of Soladin remodeled by Erginus was not much different from before.

The only difference from before is that it is helpful now. The power contained in Soladin’s blood. I never imagined something like that would exist.

– Stop.

“Here? It’s just an insignificant procedure.”

– That’s stupid. This is the important part of consciousness. When I heard the word consciousness, my eyes tightened.

ah. indeed. There was a reason why I couldn’t remember the coming-of-age ceremony procedures properly.

The really important part is that it’s only for the person who’s going to have the ceremony, and outsiders just stand outside like bridesmaids, so there’s no way they’ll remember it.

– hmm. Hmm. There are changes, but the important part remains the same.

“Is there something? It looks like an ordinary ritual to me.”

– Unless you think about where to have the ceremony.

“What does it mean?”

– You know because you’ve seen the basement. The location of the ceremony and the underground scene are similar.

It did. The two places were strangely similar.

– It’s the prince’s coming-of-age ceremony. It’s a kind of test.

“Can you handle the piece of evil spirit sealed in the center of Soladin?”

– Accurate. That is the contract made with Erginus from the time Soladin was created.

Instead of drawing magic for the peace of the country, he decided to bear the burden. It may not simply be a question of whether the seal can be kept.

Worst case. Can we fight and win against the darkness that descended on the world at the moment when the evil spirit’s seal was broken? That would be the qualifications needed for the King of Soladdin…

hmm?

“It’s a profane thing to say, but isn’t a modern king capable of doing that?”

– That’s right. I failed miserably when I took the exam before.

“But what?”

“Who are you talking to? Little brother.”

Arthur turned his head at the voice he heard behind him and stiffened slightly when he met Rene Soladin’s smile and emotionless eyes.

“ character. Talk to yourself for a moment.”

“Are you studying while talking to yourself? It’s a new way of studying.”

Why are you here? Originally, it would have been time to help the first queen with her work, right?

“I shouldn’t disturb my sincere younger brother, so I’ll get to the point quickly.”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Tell me what you think of Lucy Alln.”

Renee, who naturally sat across from Arthur, closed the open book in front of Arthur and continued speaking.

“You know, I need to become close to that person.”
