With a figure overfloith cleanliness, he had well-featured looks and silky blonde hair He was slender and the embodiment of “well-bred”

「Asak- no, Velt, is he an acquaintance of yours?」 (Melma)

「He’s a classdoic school’s top student He got along with my parents, and is more or less an acquaintance」 (Velt)

He’s prettyparticularly special between us

「Calling me weak, isn’t that a bithere?」 (Shalt)

「I came here to look for a weapon What about you?」 (Velt)

「Haha, today is papa’s day off I caet a preview of my weapon」 (Shalt)

「Papa?」 (Velt)

In that instant, a chill ran up my back I reflexively jumped to the side, then realized that there was a loneit

「It’s been a while, Velt As usual, you’ve got a cheeky look on you」 (????)

「Ta-Taira!」 (Velt)

「Call me uncle Taira Really, for the kid of Aruna to have such a rude mouth, unthinkable」 (Taira)

He had a slender stature, narrow body, and was different frolance it looked like he had no strength With youthfulness that made it seem like he would have no children, it was as if he were only ten years older than Shalt Just looking at it, he looked like Shalt’s older brother Although it looked like he was in his teens, Taira was an older ive off a est spellsword and ell-known in foreign countries I didn’t have any interest in wars nor their heroes, and even though I’ve in reality never fought in a war before, I still knew of him As sensei arrived in this country even he knew of him, and was surprised at the current state of affairs

「Oi oi, like how you’re with the princess, why is it that you’re acquainted with these incredible people?」 (Melma)

「It’s not particularly like we’re friends or anything, they’re just people I know Because of Forna, I’ve somehow become well-known」 (Velt)

「My, isn’t that ht ere friends」 (Shalt)

「As usual you’re a pretty twisted kid」 (Taira)

I’m the son of a simple farmer yet I had these over-the-top connections It wasn’t unreasonable for sensei to be shocked

「Speaking of which, I re the princess When I was on the way here with papa, we passed by her You guys weren’t with her?」 (Shalt)

「Haa? It’s not like you should think we’re always together you know? I’ll do things at my own convenience」 (Velt)

「You really are selfish aren’t you One day, you’re going to become part of the royalty in this country, so you should at least have a bit of coht?」 (Shalt)

?

「Shalt, why is it that I’ to become part of the royalty?」 (Velt)

「Isn’t it obvious? That’s what’s going to happen when you ht?」 (Shalt)

「Oi, why are you saying that with such a serious look?」 (Velt)

「Likehy are you responding like that? Just the other day, you ht?」 (Shalt)

「What?? I didn’t friggin' do so like thatー Wait, could what I said have been interpreted like that?」 (Velt)

I did say that I’d ood woman, but was this taken as an actual proclamation?

「I've heard of it too Fro was talking about it happily」 (Taira)

This is a proble?!

「Well, you should think of taking responsibility as a eneral right? If that were to happen, this country would be safe」 (Taira)

And this is the bad part about this country Froh our societal positions were separated like heaven and earth, there was no such thing as a fixation on one’s social status Nor would be taken as a joke, otherwise causing a disturbance Nonetheless, right now it see fro out their true feelings

「Hey, Asakura, is it better for(ramen) to you with flattery?」 (Melma)

「Stop it, sensei When it coh school is good enough」 (Velt)

Rather than feeling aard It was uncomfortable That’s honestly how I felt

「I’ve had enough of this, I’ back」 (Velt)

「How difficult, since we’ve o and eat cake after this」 (Shalt)

「I’ to enjoy myself with some nice, rich cake」 (Taira)

I didn’t have anything else to do, so I’ll i that on my way out,

「I’ve kept you waiting, General Taira This is the rapier I’ve produced for your son’s personal use」 (Shopkeeper)

「Let’s have a look」 (Taira)

What?

「WAIT A SECOOOOOOOND! What the hell’s the ave your opinion earlier but now you’re selling weapon to a noble’s son?! That’s bullshi+t! He’s also ten year’s old!」 (Velt)

「You fool, don’t compare your shallow self to Shalt-sa an end to this period of darkness His readiness, resolution, they are clearly different from yours Shalt-sama is special!」 (Shopkeeper)

Urgh, I couldn’t deny it Certainly Shalt’s talents are co a kid But even then, I who had the e of a seventeen year old had lost to a ten year old, so it’s fine if I feel down about it

「No, let’s calm down Nonetheless, Velt, I’ happen?」 (Taira)

I’ to save this world But it’s actually that I’irl that I love who ht be out there, so I wanted a weapon to defendso e?

「Nothing at all」 (Velt)

「Fufu, could it be frivolous circumstances you can’t talk about?」 (Taira)

It’s e to talk about the situation Or rather, if I told them my reason, Forna would beatand took a little look at my condition,

「Alright, Velt Just for a bit will you show o?」 (Taira)

「What?」 (Velt)

「It’s a connection frole hit on Shalt, then I’ll grant your wish How’s that? Won’t you show me your resolution?」 (Taira)
