97 – With a little sincerity.

“……”

“……”

First of all, before proceeding with the marriage discussion, we arranged a place for the two parties to talk first, but it seems to be a failure.

These two people are basically timid, but in addition to this, in Kino’s case, he avoids strangers to the point of being close to social phobia.

I could overcome it if I acted as the Bloody Wind Alukinon, but no matter how hard it is, it’s a bit difficult right here.

There is no difference between his opponent, Amid Gliaes.

I’ve heard that he’s not as reluctant as Kino, but now his condition is getting worse because Kino, whom he fell in love with at first sight, is right in front of his eyes.

“……”

“……”

I really can’t do this.

When he turned his head and looked at the Marquis of Gliaes, he too had a puzzled expression on his face.

I really don’t know what to do with this situation.

“Hmm.”

First of all, clear your cough once.

It worked, and both flinched.

“That…That…Miss Kino!”

Amid Gliaes finally gathered up his courage.

“Ah… Yes!”

As if responding to it, Kino also responded.

Okay, let’s start with greetings…

“……”

“……”

“Speak!!”

In the end, I was the one who exploded first.

We ended up sitting at a table with four people in between.

“…Sorry for the indecent behavior earlier. Marquis Gliaes.”

“No, I understand. If you didn’t shout, I would.”

The Marquis took my apology lightly and continued.

“Amid doesn’t have such a quiet personality, but it seems that he likes Lady Kino that much. In real life, she’s also a beautiful and intelligent girl. hehehe.”

“hahahaha, thanks for taking good care of her sister.”

When the Marquis and I were socializing in a routine like this, the two of us were still silent.

No, rather than that, Amide is looking at Kino with blank eyes, and Kino is looking at the floor.

…What to do in this situation.

A cult of the World Tree Church active in the empire.

A man in his early 30s who sat in a social seat, Laidley, arrived in front of the palace.

Having already made an appointment to meet with the king, the Laidley cult walks confidently into the palace.

But that was all.

“Jungji, are you a Ladley member of World Tree Church?”

“Yes.”

“You are welcome to join Laidley’s cult, but the paladins in the back will have to stay.”

“Is that so? All right.”

At the meeting with the head of a hostile country, Laidley does not change his face even when told to leave his escort behind.

He turned behind him and looked at the three paladins accompanying him.

Unlike ordinary paladins, they don’t wear shiny armor, but slightly worn armor.

However, the robe worn under the armor and with the head covered was as white and clean as the outer garment.

They are the Punishment Unit, a unit created by gathering problem children from among the Order of the Holy Knights.

There is no specific name for the unit, and church officials call it the ‘beast unit’.

It is a unit that is committed to both deadly and classified missions, and its existence is unknown unless it is related to the church.

They are also in charge of the dirty work of the church. To be honest, I don’t know what kind of accident they will cause if left alone.

Maybe that’s why, although there are devices to control them.

“You guys can spend about two hours at your leisure and then come back. It’s a good time to eat.”

“Okay.”

“This is a foreign country. Please don’t get into trouble. Boris, you supervise the rest.”

“Yes!!”

A large one standing in the middle of the Paladins shouted in a loud voice.

The cult of Laidley entered the palace, and only three paladins remained.

After he entered and the door was completely closed, the paladins left.

One of them, a petite paladin, said.

“But what are we going to do now? Shall we have a meal as Saegyo-nim said?”

“I don’t know much about the shops around here…”

After Boris said that, the masked paladin standing to one side opened his mouth.

“I know.”

“Really? Come to think of it, are you from the kingdom?”

“Yes.”

“Then guide me to the right store. Let’s eat.”

“Okay.”

The Paladins entered a shop.

Restaurant with a pretty decent atmosphere, the smell of delicious food wafted from the inside.

“Does it feel good?”

“It’s my first time cooking kingdom cuisine, but I think it smells good.”

After ordering, while waiting, the food came out.

Drool at the delicious smell and everyone was about to eat, the masked paladin removed the lower part of the mask and exposed his mouth.

“Well, what the hell did you do that you can’t even bare your face?”

“……”

The masked paladin didn’t say anything at Boris’s words.

The petite paladin spoke quickly.

“Boris, isn’t it our unit’s principle not to ask questions about the past?”

“Well, that’s right. I’m sorry.”

“No…”

After that, no one ate without opening their mouths.

The expenses were generously paid, so they ordered extra food if they felt it was insufficient.

However, I did not drink alcohol.

It’s not specifically forbidden, but it was still daylight, and it was also in the middle of an escort mission.

At that time, the door opened and a group entered.

“Haa, I’m going to have a late lunch this time.”

“It can’t be helped, did you think drunken people would wander around in broad daylight?”

Judging by the voices, they were women.

At that voice, Boris turned his head and saw women wearing the armor of the kingdom’s knights.

However, judging by the color of the shawl worn over the armor, they looked like knight candidates, not official knights.

Well, being a knight in the kingdom is one of the very difficult classes to be treated as half-nobility.

Perhaps they, too, would have to spend several years as candidates to become quasi-knights, and then become knights only after making achievements there.

Besides, judging by their appearance, they are young people who are not yet in their twenties.

Boris, a paladin who had a history of teaching her children in the past, looked at them.

It seemed like there were two or three people who looked talented.

They congratulated themselves saying that they might become official knights in the future.

“Huh? What’s wrong with you?”

“…No, nothing.”

Noticing that the masked knight in front of her eyes was staring in the direction of the purchase, Boris asked, but he quickly turned her head back to her food.

…Among the knights, there were quite a few beauties.

Well, since that guy is also a man, Boris said he couldn’t help it.

As they were eating their meal, the female knights who had arrived later than them stood up first.

Well, her candidates are usually busy, so while Boris was eating the meat in front of her eyes, the masked knight got up.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

“He’s a quick digester. Come on.”

“Yes.”

The residence of the Marquis of Gliaes, a training ground.

I was confronting Amid Gliaes with a wooden sword in my hand.

Why? No big deal.

Me and the Marquis of Gliaes are working hard to keep the conversation going, but the two still haven’t had a conversation.

In the end, my patience reached its limit, so I jumped up from my seat and bowed my head to Marquis Amid.

“Excuse me. Marquis Gliaes, I will borrow your son for a while.”

“Huh?”

“Amid Gliaes, can you come with me?”

… That’s how I dragged Amid Glias to the training ground, threw his wooden sword, and confronted him.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“Hey… Hey… Mr. Kyou? I don’t understand the situation.”

“If you can’t talk, you have to do it with your body. Show me your true heart.”

“Yes?!”

Amid looks very flustered, but what can he do?

No matter how long I wait and set the board, you guys don’t talk.

Then there is no way to evaluate him. How do you evaluate when there is no dialogue?

Then you should take it off with your body. My dad always did this too.

“Then let’s go.”

“Wait…Wait?!”

Wait a minute, when you have time to say that, grab a wooden sword properly.

Thought so, I rushed in and swung the wooden sword, but something hard blocked my wooden sword.

Perfect!!

“Oh.”

This guy quickly got into his stance and blocked my attack.

And with the perfect posture and the perfect angle.

Perfect!! Tadak!!

The sound of wooden swords colliding.

Amid is somehow blocking my continuous attacks.

As expected, it is a skill worthy of a successor to the Marquis of Gliaes, who has a high reputation as a samurai.

Bang!!

My wooden sword collided with Amid’s wooden sword with a loud sound.

The faces of Amid, who were facing each other with wooden swords, were very serious.

It’s not the face of an idiot who was overbearing with the red face from before.

Looking at Amid, who had become a soldier’s face, he grinned.

“You can do it.”

“……”

“Yes, in this state we can talk.”

They pulled out their bodies at the same time and confronted each other while holding their posture.

“So, where did you fall in love with our Kino?”

“…How can I say it, everything.”

“All?”

“Yes. But if I had to pick one, I’d say I fell in love with her smile.”

…Misora.

Certainly, Kino doesn’t laugh very often.

I laugh when I play Alukinon, but that’s literally the laughter that comes from role play.

It’s hard to see Kino smiling wide.

However, if she smiles broadly, she does give off a really cute smile.

After that, Amid talked about Kino.

Where did you see her, what parts did you like, how precious she is.

…Well, I got it.

“Ha, yes. I know.”

“Yes?”

“Then tell Kino about it.”

“Yes?!”

What are you flustered about?

“Tell me everything you said to me, to Kino.”

“Ah…”

“Shouldn’t Kino accept or not accept you when you tell him how serious you are?”

After hearing my words, Amid nodded with a determined expression.

Yeah, that guy seems to have made up his mind to some extent.

But why is the wooden sword lowered?

“Then shall we end this sparring?”

“Yes?”

“Then you thought this was the end? Shouldn’t you finish what you started?”

As I said that, I gripped the wooden sword tightly.

“Now then, let’s get serious. Take it seriously.”

“……”

Swallowing Amide.

I charged with my sword high.

“Die aaa!!”

With a little sincerity.

A woman in a knight’s uniform was patrolling the streets.

It was like maintaining public order by the guards, but it was one of the most important tasks for a woman who was a candidate for a knighthood.

Basically, it was a two-person job, so she was doing it with herself and her co-worker who formed her group.

From crowded streets to dark alleys.

Well, it’s basically a well-secured royal road, so there’s nothing too dangerous even in a back alley.

Actually, it’s just a job for the candidates to make their performance.

However, it looked like he had a hemp today.

Fluffy.

When he suddenly heard the sound of someone collapsing, he turned around and saw that his colleague had collapsed behind him.

She was startled and went over to take a look.

A woman, with a bad feeling, reached for the knife she wore around her waist.

Her voice reached the woman’s ears.

“I feel really sorry for my colleague. I wanted to talk to you two somehow.”

“…?!”

Following her voice, I turned my eyes to see a knight in tattered armor standing there.

That pattern is the pattern of the World Tree Church.

The opponent is a paladin. I don’t know why he is in the capital, but he must be a paladin.

As we were wary of the paladin wearing even a plain white mask, he put his hand on the mask.

And then, that hand took off the mask.

“It’s been a while, Ferris. I didn’t expect you to be a knight.”

“…Everything… Are you… Mr. Alan?”

The face of the knight candidate, Ferris Valtreia, turned pale.
