Chapter Index

    Since that day, the church has been surprisingly quiet.

    It seemed as if they would come charging in with swords drawn at any moment, but there was no church, not even a person in priest’s robes, loitering around, as if they were plotting something.

    Sweet sweet sweet-

    “Hmm, it’s so quiet it’s suspicious”

    I stroked my chin and took a spoonful of rice.

    “Master. Here. Aang”

    “Hmm. Wow”

    Charles shyly put the side dish in my mouth with his chopsticks.

    I habitually opened my mouth and ate it.

    Oops.

    “Heald”

    “Yes”

    “Ah, Seonyeon-ah”

    “Ah, aaa”

    Circe smiled brightly and stuffed the hot potato into my mouth.

    “!!!”

    It’s so hot!

    I was at a loss as to what to do with the hot heat filling my mouth.

    Selene held out a cup of cold water with a small sigh.

    “Pooha! Thank you. Selene”

    “Yes”

    Selene let out a ‘Ugh’ and pounded the table in front of Circe.

    “Circe. Refrain from bothering Lady Hild”

    “It’s an expression of affection”

    “How is putting a hot potato in your mouth an expression of affection? What if Lily learns?”

    “Sorry”

    Circe quickly apologized as she watched Lily empty her second bowl while mumbling.

    Lily’s education is more important than the things I almost had to deal with.

    Of course, I couldn’t refute it because it was a reasonable reason.

    “Hilde, please don’t accept such harsh jokes”

    “Selene also had difficulty breathing last night with the Wangjiji press”

    “That’s! It’s an expression of affection!”

    Selene, her face reddening, screamed.

    It is a peaceful and harmonious mealtime no different from usual.

    Yes, this is the other world life that has become true.

    Sweet sweet sweet sweet-

    I smiled happily and put the food in my mouth again.

    Taaak-!

    “Kkaaa …

    Amy came flying in from somewhere and hit my back.

    “You’re going crazy, you little shit. Don’t shake your legs!”

    If I collect all the backs I’ve dedicated to her, I’ll be able to cross a decent lake.

    “If you’re that anxious, why don’t you go and visit?”

    “Are you there?”

    “Yeah”

    Amy snorted and disappeared into the kitchen.

    If you are truly anxious, it is certainly the right way to check for yourself.

    “Shall I find out?”

    Charles asked with a calm expression.

    She was fiddling with the dagger under the table.

    “No, ping-pong has been dangerous since ancient times. Let’s be a little more careful”

    “Yes”

    Charles’s skills are reliable, but his opponent is a non-standard Ping-Chang warrior. If he approaches without a clear strategy and an unpleasant situation occurs, it could be a disaster.

    If there is no movement from the other side, we have no choice but to be more cautious.

    “Instead, Charles, from today onwards, patrol Lavita from time to time. If there is any special activity from the church or priests, please share it with us immediately”

    “Yes! I will do that”

    Because your eyes were so sparkly and full of energy

    He added one more thing.

    “You must run away if it is dangerous. And don’t fight too hard. If you promise that, I will leave the work to you”

    “Yes, I will keep that in mind”

    Now all that’s left to do is be happy.

    You can’t just blow the salvation you’ve finally found because of your own foolishness.

    Regret once is enough.

    Charles cherishes the memory of his master’s village,

    I thanked him.

    She quickly emptied her bowl of rice, jumped up from her seat, and knelt in front of Hild.

    Before she knew it, she was dressed as an assassin.

    “Then I’ll be off!”

    “No, there’s no need to rush it like this!”

    “I learned that a gentleman’s revenge is too early even if it takes 10 years”

    “Where did you learn that expression? And this is not the kind of expression you would use… ”

    “I’m sorry”

    “Wait a minute”

    “… ?”

    I sighed as if the ground was falling apart and went into the kitchen to pass something to Amy who was cooking.

    Amy, who had been quietly listening to my request, stuck out her thumb and started making something.

    “Wait a minute”

    “Yes”

    Charles stood there somewhat obediently, his face showing that he did not understand English.

    In that pitch-black assassin’s outfit.

    After a while, Amy held out two delicious-looking rice balls.

    She wrapped it in a lotus leaf and then covered it again with a clean cloth.

    “Okay, take this”

    I tied the rice ball tightly around Charles’ waist and covered him with the cloak.

    “Ah, Master”

    “You must not skip meals. If there is danger, run away. Be careful. Got it?”

    “Yeah, sniffle”

    “Why are you crying again”

    Oh my. How can an assassin shed so many tears?

    I patted her as she sobbed.

    Charles lowered his head with a more solemn expression than ever before and hid himself in the shadows.

    “Then I’ll go too”

    “Where?”

    “To Gloria… ”

    Selene and Circe fell silent at my words.

    Yes, today is that day.

    Date day with Stasia.

    It’s already the weekend. Time flies so fast.

    “Do I have to go?”

    Selene puffed out her cheeks.

    “If I don’t go, won’t I die?”

    “I just have to fight with Stasia and win”

    “Can you win?”

    “If you ask me to look, I can compare”

    “I’ll just go and come back”

    I quickly gave up and headed to the bathroom, leaving them behind with a heavy heart.

    I took a clean shower and dried my hair well.

    I was thinking about trying a hairstyle that’s popular in the city these days, but I gave up because it was slicked back hair.

    Instead, I finished it off by trimming the ends with wax.

    I wore the suit I bought at a fancy clothing store last night and sprayed some perfume on it.

    When I came down after roughly finishing preparing, they were waiting for me.

    Circe held out a bouquet of flowers to me, not hiding her discomfort.

    “Aren’t you too angry?”

    “Then? Should I just laugh and let my man go and fuck another woman?”

    “That’s not it”

    Selene put some money in my pocket.

    “I have money!”

    “Don’t talk nonsense, just write this”

    “Thank you”

    “It’s a bribe to not have sex. Don’t be thankful”

    Even though she said that, she had a bitter smile on her face.

    “Do I look like a slut who sleeps with anyone?”

    “Yes”

    Oh, that’s the answer.

    I have nothing to say.

    “Are we going to talk about that today?”

    “Yeah, we should talk”

    “I wonder if I’ll get stabbed if I talk nonsense”

    “Are you really going to stab me”

    “Do you think the knife will come out?”

    “Maybe”

    If Stacia were to swing her sword in a fit of rage, would she ever be able to calm down?

    I think it’ll be difficult even if a dragon comes.

    “Anyway, I’ll be back”

    “Have a nice trip”

    “If something happens, just scream”

    When I hear Circe’s words, an absurd laugh comes out.

    If I scream, can you come running?

    Still, I felt grateful and proud of that attitude.

    “I’ll go and come back”

    I just walked out of the inn.

    #

    The weather was really nice.

    The sun was bright but not hot, and a cool breeze blew in the shade.

    There were just the right amount of clouds, which gave it a certain charm.

    It could be said that it is the perfect day to go on an outing.

    “Where should we look”

    Yesterday afternoon, I opened the note that Stacia had handed me.

    On the crumpled paper was a neatly drawn map with the words, “This is it♥” written on it.

    I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about Stacia’s whole body being drenched in sweat while drawing that heart.

    But at the same time, he looks nervous, wondering if I might say something…

    Everyone will be surprised to see if he is indeed the King of Knights as rumored.

    As I was walking along the main street and looking around, I came across the first fork in the road. Here, I went right.

    At the next fork, go left. Then right. Then go straight.

    Having lived in the countryside my entire life, it was quite difficult to find my way around a big city on my own.

    It’s a world without navigation or smartphones.

    There was no clear way other than asking someone who knew the map or directions.

    After wandering around for some reason, I arrived at what I assumed was Gloria’s barracks.

    How did you know that?

    “Why are you here?”

    “Long time no see”

    That’s because I met Rot right away.

    Rott was walking around the parade ground with other knights, shirtless, as if he was training.

    “Phew. What the hell is that?”

    “Ah? I have an appointment”

    “Are you going on a date or something? You’re acting all dressed up. I feel bad for the woman you’re going with, you punk”

    “Thank you for your support”

    “ No support.

    I walked into the barracks, expressing my sincere gratitude to Lott for his support.

    “Hey. Why are you going in there?”

    “Huh? Isn’t this your barracks? Sorry”

    Lott grabs my shoulder with a serious expression.

    He apologized, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

    That’s weird. You told me to come into the white building here?

    “No. It’s our barracks. Why are you going in there?”

    “Oh, what is it? That’s right. I thought I came to the wrong place”

    “No! What the hell! Why are you going in here! And that’s where the captain is”

    Rott screamed.

    The mood of other articles also became tense.

    “I told you. I came because I had an appointment”

    “So why are you breaking your promise here… ”

    Rott, who had been extremely annoyed, suddenly stopped.

    “… Are you lying?”

    “Can you let me go quickly? I think my clothes are going to smell like sweat?”

    As I lightly shook my hand, Lot’s hand fell away limply.

    After shaking off the shoulder area that was caught, I went into the barracks.

    “Hey, fuck, wait a minute”

    When Lot was screaming and trying to grab me,

    Suddenly-

    The main gate of the barracks opened.

    “Ah, Hild is here… right?”

    Shock. Surprise. Amazing. Incomprehensible.

    Gloria’s knights sat down in their seats, doubting their eyes.

    And then I rubbed my eyes several times, trying to understand the tragedy(?) unfolding before me.

    However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t understand the tragedy.

    In the midst of the incomprehensible phenomenon, the protagonist moved his feet shyly.

    “Heald?”

    “Pretty. Stasia”

    “, thank you”

    Stacia, wearing a bright red dress and with her black hair braided down to her shoulders.

    She rubbed her toes on the floor, embarrassed by Hild’s compliments.

    Her fingernails were also manicured, and her toes, which were sticking out from under her high heels, were also painted with pedicure of the same color.

    “You even got a manicure?”

    “Oh! You noticed”

    “Yes”

    How can I pretend not to notice when you awkwardly reach out your hand and ask me to notice?

    “Take this”

    “Oh! It’s a flower”

    “Yes, I remembered it and bought it”

    In fact, it was prepared by Circe.

    Stacia covered her mouth as if she was deeply moved and received the bouquet with careful hands.

    “It’s really beautiful. Thank you. Could you wait a moment? I want to put this in a vase and go”

    “Okay, take your time”

    “I’ll be back soon!”

    Stacia disappeared into the gunshot with her eyes sparkling.

    After that, the knights stood there awkwardly.

    Rott approached me, his body trembling.

    “Hey, what’s going on?”

    I looked at the guy and smiled.

    “Your leader is awesome”

    “This, this!!”

    “Fuck Rome!!”

    Rott cheered me on with a roar that could have filled the parade ground.

    Thanks, kid.
