Chapter 254: The Interview and the Successful Candidates
「Alright The results will be posted the day after tomorrow in front of the castle Everyone can withdra」(Rain)
「「「「「Yes」」」」」
The five people, whose interview have just ended, reply to Knight Co confirmed that everyone left the room, Yumina starts to talk first
「This person, this person, and this person; those three are not good The ambition of those two are as plain as day Sooner or later, it’ll probably reach the point wherein they’ll consider pushi+ng other people aside The last one is too rebellious He may violate a co a very convenient reason, and he may become the cause that’ll throw the order into chaos」(Yumina)
「It’s just my intuition, but I also felt the same way Besides, every word that coance… They’ve also mixed in a few lies」(Rain)
I cross out the na out Yumina and Rain-san That is, they’re disqualified
「What about the re two?」(Touya)
「Well, they tend to stutter whenever they reply, but they didn’t lie to us I also couldn’t sense any malicious intent from them They’re probably okay」(Yu overly serious can be counted as their uess they’ve passed the threshold sufficiently」(Rain)
If that’s the case, then these two have… passed
The interviews have gone for two days inside a room in the castle after the survival exaht Coe], sa this period, we interview the exaroups of five assuroup, we then have to conduct more than 80 interviews in total This makes it a serious work even if we leave some for the second day
On the other hand, it’s not like I can cut corners here The one ill suffer won’t just be us but also the citizens of our country if we adht order
That’s because e look for in theelse I think, is whether they can act [For the sake of the citizens] and not [For the sake of the country] We also don’t need people ould do it [For the King] or [For pride and honor]
Theyto defeatthe country properly and h that situation will certainly not happen
「Ok-kay Well then Call-in the next group of five 」(Touya)
「Yes」(Spica)
Atnext to the door, calls out the exa nearby are the Lamia twins, Murret and Charret
I feel bad for the three of the thee the applicants this time upon
As soon as the next five people enter the room, we see that three of them frowned the moment they’ve seen the demonkin trio The other tere surprised but didn’t show any disdain on their faces The emotion they’ve displayed is probably that of interest Spica-san is beautiful and the Lamia sisters have lower bodies of a snake
Our interest in the frowning trio has h we’ll still more or less ask all of the which we blend those that get to the cores of their personalities, as we confirraph
There are those that lie, and there are also those that speak truthfully It’s not like I tell the A few lies here and there are an unavoidable aspect of life There should be sos someone wouldn’t want to answer because they may not to know the other party well A ment
Yumina and Rain-san discuss the five people after they leave the roouys that were frowning According to Yuhtiness One of the reround; he toldsomeone like that Out of those five applicants, I cross out four of theain, Spica-san ushers the next five people to come-in O, ya
From the batch that entered, two of them are the armored man and the potato youth whom I’ve discovered
Both of the them, but that was the extent of their reaction The potato youth has gotten stiffly nervous, which probably isn’t impossible to expect
They sit next to each other on the left side So their numbers are close to each other, huh?
W~ell then… the armored man with short blond hair must be Lance Tempest, while the potato youth is Callen
Lance Teht bachelor Both this older brothers are in Knight Order of Reista, huh?
「Why have you applied to our Brunhild Knight Order?」(Touya)
「Yes I’ve been hearing about the exploits of His Majesty The King and ruht order for quite a while now The news regarding the dragon extermination conducted by Brunhild has reached as far as Restia That convinced th, however poor it ht order」(Lance)
He shouldn’t be aware that this king is sitting in front of hiuess I should ask this question just in case
「I can understand that you want to becoht of Brunhild and not Restia, but is that really okay with you?」(Touya)
「His Majesty The King of Brunhild is engaged with the princess of the Knight Kingdo Brunhild be considered as a friendly nation to Restia Now that I’ve raised ht of Brunhild」(Lance)
He isn’t lying He looks serious but sohts feels like
I then turn my eyes to the potato youth, Callen
Callen Birthplace – Belfast Kingdo to the report fro as an oni, you see various edible foods in the forest Where have you acquired this kind of skill?」(Touya)
「I-I ouldn’t c-call it a s-skill, yes M- forests s-since I was s-small, yes 」(Callen)
He’s too nervous, and his words are beco of which… A pharreat deal about plants if that’s the case I guess he’s useful
「Why have you tried enrolling into a knight order?」(Touya)
「T-that’s because I’ve heard that B-Brunhild knight order devotes its efforts into the reclaht that I would be able to help in that matter I also f-fair well in battle, and I can d-defeat a bear or s-soi, huh? Oh well, he did e to pass that survival exaht to some extent It feels like he’s well versed with a nata knife
(TL: Matagi – japanese winter hunters,bears, Nata knife – a , so I guess he together with Lance pass the interview
I ask for the opinions of both Yumina and Rain-san after the five exit the room, and it’s what I’ve expected They, same as I, feel that we should employ those two
「I would like that youth nauard I also think it’s most suitable to place Callen under the supervision of Naito-sama on the reclamation of the eastern lands」(Rain)
Rain-san has apparently been thinking the saht Both of them are employed
The individuals who entered the roo that survival exaed clan, a wardog youth and an arachne girl There is one more man with them dressed in leather armor, but I immediately lost interest in him because it looked like he didn’t a favorable opinion towards the presence of the other four

The wardog youth is Dingo
The arachne girl is Liphon
