He looked at Camilla with an expression of disbelief.

“Do, do, sympathy…?”

What kind of nonsense is this guy talking about?

still.

I might have misheard, so I should ask again… .

Think about it logically.

Even if she is a spinster in her 30s,

Where in the world would someone say such crazy things?

No way.

It’s impossible in my common sense.

“… What does that mean?”

I barely managed to turn my creaking head to meet Camilla’s eyes.

Camilla is captured in my pupils, which tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

“… ?”

Camilla, who kept tilting her head as if she didn’t fully understand the question, opened her mouth with a look of doubt.

“What the heck, grandma, don’t you even know what sympathy is?”

“I know that much… .”

As you know, it’s absurd… isn’t that a term used to refer to a man who has no experience?

But you’re helping me escape it?

That means Camilla, that bitch… Anyway! Outrageous!

As I shook my head repeatedly with a red face, Camilla let out a “phu-” sound and smiled her signature irritated smile.

And whenever she made that kind of expression, Camilla would always blurt out something absurd, so I squinted my eyes and looked at her.

“Isn’t it possible that even that old lady will grow old like that pedo inspector… .”

“Oh my! That’s it!”

He quickly stretched out both arms and covered Camilla’s mouth, then turned his head to look at Myeong-un.

Fortunately, indeed.

Camilla looks at me with a blank expression, as if she didn’t hear what I was saying.

He let out a small sigh and glared at Camilla.

“What are you talking about?!”

The volume of the voice coming out of my mouth was loud due to my embarrassment, but the curtain was quickly drawn so that no one could hear what I was saying from now on.

As I waited for an answer, reassuring myself like that, Camilla tapped my hand with her finger.

Hmm, now that I think about it, I can’t answer because I covered my mouth.

He rolled his eyes in embarrassment and slowly removed his hand.

“No, you can’t even joke?”

Camilla burst out laughing, finding the situation just hilarious.

By the way, it’s just a joke.

Well, it seems like close friends used to play pranks like this… .

“Where on earth does this joke end?”

I haven’t made any friends since I came here, so I’m a bit hesitant.

But if you think of it as Camilla’s way of expressing her friendliness, then you might be able to understand it to some extent… .

Then isn’t this just friends joking around?

The corners of his lips rose as if he was squirming.

For nearly 10 years, there was a misconception that Anonymous had no close friends, but now he can say so confidently.

I hesitated at the sudden thought and waited for Camilla’s answer.

She just smiled even wider and didn’t say anything in response.

Could it be that the conclusion is that everything I’ve said so far is true and not a joke?

Camilla thrust her head forward in the face of overwhelming betrayal.

“Wasn’t that a joke?!”

“Are you kidding…? Oh, of course I’m joking.”

Camilla smiled and shrugged her shoulders slyly as she continued.

“Would I really be interested in a pedophile inspector?”

“Um… .”

When you say you’re not interested, it feels strange in its own way.

Well, isn’t it good that it’s good?

He nodded and pulled back the curtain that had been opened.

At the same time, as if waiting for me to close the curtain, a knight with a thoughtful face comes running towards where Camilla and I are.

Hmm, what’s going on?

My curiosity was piqued, but the story was over… Even if we were close friends, I don’t like seeing too much interference.

And it seems like it’s time to go to the anonymous person.

As I thought about that, the corners of my lips rose and I tried to slightly distance myself from her, but Camilla grabbed my arm.

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Don’t go and stay, it seems like it’s because of grandma.”

Why on earth did that knight have to rush over because of me, that Camilla grabbed me?

As I tilted my head in confusion, the knight swallowed hard and opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty, what we were afraid of has finally happened.”

“Really?”

And in contrast to the pale, exhausted knight, Camilla’s expression as she answered was relaxed.

No, he’s smiling.

Is the situation not as serious as I thought?

Looking at the knight’s reaction to that thought, the knight who came to deliver the message also tilted his head as if he was also suspicious.

Hmm, what is it?

If it’s not a serious situation, why did you stop me, and if it is, how can you be so calm?

The knight, who had been opening and closing his mouth constantly, lowered his voice.

“Your Majesty, time is running out.”

“Hey, don’t worry about it.”

Camilla said that while waving her arms and turned her head to look at me.

“We have a grandmother.”

“Hmm?”

me?

I tilted my head at Camilla who suddenly mentioned me.

The smile on Camilla’s lips deepened.

* * *

“… So, you’re saying it’s all my fault so I should solve it?”

“You’re not aging in vain, are you? That’s right, grandma.”

Covered his face.

“…”

“Will you do it?”

Clearly, he was sparring with the knights and Camilla and this damn brat to erase the light… .

How on earth did it end up like this?

This is what Camilla explained to me:

The reason why I couldn’t help Lucius and Elia when they were tracking down the Jackal the other day.

To summarize it briefly, it is because of the monster attacks that can occur at any time.

The exact date is unknown, but it is said that around this time every year, monsters appear in large numbers and, as they lose in territorial disputes, they are driven down to the village.

Because of this, Camilla, who had a duty to guard the territory, could not be away for long periods of time, and was unable to help Lucius and Elia.

Elia’s sarcastic remark, “Is it for nothing that Camilla is given the title of the Empire’s Greatest Sword and is it for nothing that Ellen is given the title of the Empire’s Shield?” was a bonus.

… how would I know that, I don’t even know who the emperor is now.

And then Camilla continued to explain.

“Grandma, do you think I didn’t do it because I didn’t know how effective sparring was?”

“…”

“If the sparring gets intense and you get hurt, you won’t be able to stop the monsters.”

Then why did you do the sparring?

I felt a sense of injustice at this, so I asked her, ‘Why didn’t you refuse the training I recommended?’ but she said.

“It was a rare opportunity given to me by the old lady who had been stuck in the corner of the room. Anyway, if the knights and I could stop it, the old lady could do it alone.”

He answered, cutting me off from speaking.

If we go back in time and look at the current situation.

“… This is annoying.”

I’m standing in front of the mountain where Camilla said monsters would attack.

Still, there is no one else here, perhaps because they found it quickly or because it is a little far from the village.

But if I think about it positively, this is definitely a way to repay the favor, and in return, I am indebted to Camilla…

“Well, if you think about it that way, it might not be so bad.”

Puk- I let out a sigh, and Camilla’s voice was heard from behind me.

“Grandma.”

“… What is it?”

When I turned my head slightly, I saw Camilla lying down in a very comfortable-looking chair that I didn’t know where she had brought it from, with the corners of her lips raised.

… Isn’t that condition completely okay?

Pouting – She stuck out her lips, but it seemed as if she had noticed my thoughts.

“Ah, I suddenly feel dizzy.”

“Tsk.”

Camilla suddenly starts complaining of dizziness and is acting weak, which is not typical of her.

Since it’s just the two of us, we see all sorts of things.

He let out a small sigh, realizing that he was off topic.

“Why did you call me that?”

Camilla pursed her lips and opened her mouth to look around slightly.

“You said you’d show it to me… Is that true?”

What did you say you would show me?

ah.

Camilla’s eyes, which were filled with pure anticipation and unlike her usual arrogant behavior, smiled and waved her hand slightly.

“Don’t worry about that.”

The reason why there is no one else here besides Camilla and me.

It’s just a way to give Camilla, who has been performing better than expected, a helping hand.

Rather than inflating the debt of gratitude, it is really just a simple favor.

That would be the case, because Camilla would quickly rise to the top if I just gave her a little push on the back.

As an unmanned entity, I cannot help but help.

You might say that I’m being too kind to Camilla.

I can’t help but like Camilla, because she doesn’t seem to have the favor of a god, and she doesn’t show any signs of following that damn god, unless she’s a warrior or a saint.

Of course, I also called Anmyeong here because he is my disciple.

It seems like Myeong-un is sending me off, telling me to go easy, and then going to spar with Lucius.

It seems like he felt something after watching me and Camilla’s duel.

anyway.

For now, we just need to focus on teaching Camilla.

“Hmm, I don’t use a greatsword so this won’t be of much help.”

Heavy swordsmanship is a sword technique that uses weight to create extreme destructive power.

“Take a look at it with both your eyes.”

It will help.
