The meal was being eaten together with fellow humans.

There was a group of people in front of me that I had to go to…

Men were looking like men, women were looking at women, knights were looking at knights, and training wardens were looking at me like training wardens, and the panorama of all kinds of emotions coming at me made me feel sick.

In the end, I had no choice but to sit alone in the corner and eat.

I had to eat a lot of smoked duck and salad.

I don’t even know what rice tastes like!

“Isn’t that a violation of gender discipline?”

Fuck!

The Terub knight is staring at me intently.

Director Yang Yang looks at me with confused eyes.

“···Ignore it.”

“No, but just now…”

“The representative of the trainee engineer must come to the administration office immediately after finishing his meal.”

Director Yang stands up from his seat.

Fuck!

It hasn’t even been half a day since I enlisted!

“······Okay.”

I couldn’t finish my meal, so I had no choice but to throw it all in the food waste bin.

I immediately followed behind Director Yang and entered the administrative office together.

“It looks like you had a great time.”

Director Yang Sang sighed and touched his temple.

“Apprentice Engineer.”

“Yes.”

“Extraterritorial jurisdiction applies to all matters, objects, victims, and perpetrators related to Dragonia. That was the first of the treaties the Drekkar Alliance signed with the Mage Tower. Because of that treaty, you can buy magic tools.”

The eyes that looked at me were full of anger.

“You can protest. Report to the commander, and the commander-in-chief writes a letter directly and delivers it to the diplomat. If a diplomat directly protests the Tower of Horus, Horus will protest to the Tower. Because the procedures are so complicated, it is practically impossible to protest such trivial matters.”

“I permitted the examination, not the indecent behavior that would lead to a decline in military discipline.”

“Is this a place where the military comes to date?”

“How much more so, not a disease brought here, but an apprentice knight who came here to become a knight who must protect the Drekkar Union?”

“If you are punished for that, Dragonia will come forward, and if you report it, there will be no protest. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”

Why do you embarrass me like this?

Like a upset child!

When Director Yang wrinkled his eyebrows, an expression as if a wild beast was roaring was revealed.

“I may send you to a soldier training center at my discretion.”

“···Sorry.”

“It would be good to keep an eye on me while you are at the training camp. If, due to your foolish actions, the discipline of the 452nd cavalry trainee becomes lax or a crime of violating gender discipline occurs, you will be punished instead.”

Director Yang Sung looks at me intently.

The vertically slit pupils are shiny, and the teeth are exposed between the lips, as if they are about to attack at any moment.

“Did you understand?”

“Okay.”

“Don’t let me be disappointed.”

“Yes!”

“Go see.”

···I wanted to beat him up from the first day.

I left the administrative office and headed straight to the home office.

Can we get some rest now?

“Oh! Dragonia’s lover has arrived?!”

My wish went out like a candle in the wind.

“Wow! Dragonia’s lover!”

“CEO! Have you ever slept with Dragonia?!”

“What do you feel?!”

“Don’t you know it’s rude?”

Someone answers my thoughts for me.

It was the person sitting next to me.

“Don’t meddle.”

“I wasn’t asking you.”

The meat eaters glare at the person next to them, and then they look at me.

“There was nothing to think about.”

When I answered like that, the eyes of the demi-humans gathered in groups narrowed.

“You can’t even tell me that?”

“The first cub.”

Babies are moving away.

Although they are big, they are only sixteen to twenty years old.

“Why didn’t you eat lunch with us?”

“What should I do because I feel embarrassed?”

“Haha… There are only five humans, so we have to stick together. Let’s eat dinner together. My name is Jean. Twenty-two.”

“My name is Dwin Lee. I’m twenty-nine.”

Physical age is fifteen.

“Wow, you don’t look that old.”

The name changed in an instant.

Unlike me, he is a very friendly person.

“···Really?”

“Yes. There are a lot of people who are curious about what I do, so be prepared.”

Jean smiles and stretches.

…The atmosphere in the office was so light that I couldn’t understand anything.

Was there really something wrong with the military I served in?

Or is this place too light?

no. It’s probably light because it hasn’t even started yet.

‘okay.’

Let’s take it a little lightly.

I fell asleep in bed.

“Hyung. I have to go eat.”

‘rice?’

I was embarrassed. It was dark outside the window.

When I close my eyes and open them, it’s evening?

Jean is smiling brightly and shaking me.

···Why?

He looks like he wants me to follow him.

“Uh…thank you for waking me up.”

I might become someone I won’t be able to see tomorrow.

When I got out of bed, there were bugs waiting for me on the screen.

Jean slapped the screen as if he was disgusted.

“This accommodation was strangely full of bugs.”

“······How can you know the mind of a bug?”

There were countless apprentice knights out there taking individual action.

Some people study.

Someone is sparring with each other. I couldn’t understand it.

Aren’t they worried about deserters?

“You’re free.”

“Huh?”

“It’s conscription, right? I thought it would be a little more coercive.”

“Coercive?”

“Why, there is such a thing. Working as a team to prevent desertion… checking every few minutes to see if someone committed suicide.”

Jean’s expression turned bizarre.

“···Which country’s military is like this?”

There is a country that views soldiers as slaves.

I walked quietly behind Jean.

The gaze of meat-eating people from people around me is just harsh.

Those whose brains are stained with sexual desire.

“Ignore it. Because those lowly people can’t be knights.”

I thought he was still young.

Society accepts criminals as long as they are efficient.

“Don’t you think the proportion of humans among article applicants is too small?”

“Yes. The physical fitness test is difficult for humans to pass.”

‘I guess so.’

The heavy crossbow is the ultimate cold weapon made to Hosott’s standards, and is a weapon made to kill immortals.

Even if I hit 3-500, I couldn’t load the heavy crossbow with the pump action.

To prevent this, a 20 kg iron shield is used, which increases the weight of the military commander.

Is that really the case?

This side also requires the use of heavy crossbows, but heavy crossbows cannot be loaded by humans.

If you step on the latch and use your spine strength, you will be able to load it somehow.

However, it cannot be operated like a hosot.

“What kind of weapon does a knight who can’t use weapons use?”

“Pulley type heavy crossbow. I heard that the moment you stick out your body to shoot something like an arrow like your brother, a hole will be created in your body?”

Why do I feel like I’ve lost my place?

The restaurant was quite crowded with dozens of people sitting in groups of twos and threes.

Perhaps because there are many meat-eaters, there is a lot of meat in their diet.

Beef, pork, chicken…

The plate was enriched with meat.

“Over there.”

Jean points to the end of the restaurant with his chin.

A man and two women are sitting there.

He has black hair like Jean and green eyes.

“Isn’t it difficult for a woman to become a knight?”

“That’s usually the case. But there is nothing ordinary among the people gathered here.”

Well, I guess so.

“Are they great people?”

“One is my friend. We enlisted together, but that thing is just a monster, a monster.”

Jang humorously pretends to be disgusted.

If you enlist together, are you friends of the same age?

The closer I got, the more uneasy I began to feel at the familiar sight I saw.

Where did you see it?

Soon, I realized it.

That woman is the woman I saw in the fantasy of ‘The Grand Duke Widow’.

“Welcome. Arthur.”

─Arthur.

It is my father’s last name and Lian’s last name.

Chicken flesh is sprouting.

My hands are shaking with the sensation that every cell in my body is shaking.

That woman is a widow!

“Da, why are you here…?”

Dark green eyes reminiscent of peridot.

Ebony black hair contrasting with white skin.

The appearance of the woman in front was both terrifyingly beautiful and creepy.

My perfect ideal type, a fantasy created by the Grand Duke Widow who looked into my brain.

···Emotions cannot be read in women’s eyes.

In a way, it’s natural.

The Grand Duke Widow is also someone who has received Dantalian’s blessing like me.

“···Me?”

···The woman tilts her head.

Are you pretending not to know?

Why? Of course you know that there is no way I don’t know?

“Ah, ah… I was mistaken.”

“···Do you know each other?”

As I sat down next to Jean, I heard Jean’s voice sounding like he was confused.

” Among the Dragonias, there is someone who looks exactly like that person. ”

“There is someone who looks just like Isabel?”

“Oh my, I’d like to meet you.”

Isabel.

An unidentified woman laughs.

‘···Let’s calm down.’

The reason human relationships are difficult is because you don’t know the inside of the person.

Over the past few months, I’ve become too accustomed to reading people’s minds.

You must now refrain from reading people’s minds and taking actions.

In human relationships, whether you know something or not, you don’t know what you don’t know… such consideration is necessary.

‘It’s normal not to see. Don’t be nervous.’

Only after calming down my heart was I able to start eating.

I cut the meat into bite-sized pieces with a fork, and put all the dry chicken into the salad.

“Ah, that’s how you eat it…”

A slim man sitting across from me, who couldn’t even say a word, was tearing into pieces of leftover chicken.

“There is no set way to eat.”

Because boiled chicken meat is dry.

I took out my chopsticks and started eating.

The Grand Duke Widow was born in China.

It’s too long ago to say China, but…

Nevertheless, I ate using chopsticks.

“Uh. Do you know how to use chopsticks?”

Jean widens his eyes and raises the corners of his mouth.

‘Are you kidding me?’

I thought about it for a moment, but it didn’t seem like that.

“I learned it from Dragonia. After using it, I realized that there is nothing more convenient than this.”

I muttered empty words and looked at the people.

“My name is Dwin Lee.”

“Ah. It’s Henry.”

“Susan.”

“My name is Isabel.”

All three are hard.

I think I understand a little bit why Jean invited me to this meeting.

“How about we treat each other comfortably?”

Henry nods.

“Yes. ···Yes.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Isabel… Grand Duchess Widow.

“Why me?”

Susan didn’t seem to like talking.

But you’ve already stopped talking, right?

Even as Susan sat here, she was scanning the people with irritated eyes.

There are many signs of looking down on people in their evaluative eyes.

“We’ll only see each other for a few months anyway, so is there a need to become friends?”

In Susan’s eyes, we must have been such unreliable people.

“Isn’t a few months a short time?”

“It’s not a long time. I will only listen to what I need for the theory test and skip it.”

Do whatever you want.

Looking at other people, I don’t think it would be a good idea to try to get lucky.

We continued eating in silence.

Jean still seems worried that I recognized the Grand Duke Widow.

Henry, who seemed the most introverted at the time, tried to speak, but he noticed Susan’s gaze and kept his mouth shut, and the widow Grand Duke continued his meal gracefully.

Even though I’m eating at the right pace, it’s clear that I won’t be able to eat everything on time once training starts properly.

Of course, that was back then.

“So, why do you want to become a knight when you hold a pole like Dragonia?”

Susan, who has already emptied her tray, looks at me with interest.

“There’s no way a rich person wouldn’t know the value of money, right?”

“So, it wasn’t worth it to you.”

“That may be so.”

Susan was so full of muscle that it made you wonder if she was a human woman.

If there is a ‘real’ female barbarian, it is Susan.

“Why do you want to become a knight?”

No matter how good it is, if you become a knight, you will kill someone.

There are many cases where a knight replaces the execution of the death penalty.

The experience of ending someone else’s life is never a good thing.

Didn’t I cry the first time I killed someone?

But Susan just shrugged.

“Earn money and achieve merit. These days, you can’t do anything unless you were born with good parents, right?”

It was a familiar yet unexpected answer.

I feel sorry for thinking that this was a biased question.

‘They were all here because of me.’

“···That’s right.”

Susan’s eyes turn to the Grand Duchess.

“So, when are you going to study for the theory test?”

When I wondered why I came to this place, it seems like there was some kind of foundation laid.

Green eyes, whose emotions could not be read, looked at me and smiled.

“Yes. I think you’ve finished eating. Shall we go study together?”
