Volume 5 Chapter 8 (2/2)
“That is fine That shop… Though I understand El-saht”
Matthias seeht Order more than I expected It was a totally different reaction compared to when I reported that I will have ht he had soed when I described a concrete place rather than just ‘tavern’ I did not hear the reason, but it is surely so the same as Rent’s
“Ah, but, ill I do if I get recognized in the royal palace? Is it better to decline now?”
“I do not think that it will happen Even if it is said to be in the royal palace, the place where El-saht Order Of course, that man is not there either”
<note: word=”” used=”” can=”” mean=”” ‘not=”” there’=”” or=”” ‘not=”” exist’=””>
He denied is start to become firm
In front of Mathias who is writing in a smooth fine script, it is sorade school study so I can’t do anything about it It’s somewhat a pain and when I solved the problems, I let him assist me
“Really? Matthias is very well-informed”
“Yes I worked there and I have been going in an out of the royal palace ever since I was a child, I mostly understand the layout of the palace It is also because Leo and I walked around it aimlessly”
When it co in and out to the royal palace is considered interesting
“Your appearance is unknown, too, because you were never acquainted with someone”
Just as he said, I was never acquainted to elite friends or those working in the royal palace When I heard that the King’s residence is entirely cut-off frohtened
“I see The Knight Order ht be cool Rent see forward to it”
Rent will surely be pleased if I say we can go together It was the feeling of excitement before an excursion
Therefore, I did not notice Thein front of me, had stopped
“Huge…!”
Even though I’ve actually been here before, the gates ahead of us gave an inti air
I aate
“Please take out your bags”
A uests I openedto the instructions Our names were then called one by one from the list submitted beforehand, and ere allowed in after the confirmation I orried about my sudden addition, but I was able to enter without problems
The atmosphere became strained with the heavy security before us Excitement was apparent on the way to the royal palace, but there was little conversation while alked together with the guide
I lowered the hat I’s around us when I looked at uide explained that this is where the royal family lives, but it doesn’t look like a place where they perfors are actually small when the other kids expressed their surprise
Is there soer than them?
There are a lot of workers walking to and fro the premises, since this is a spacious place I actually felt what Matthias meant yesterday
“Are you the people from the academy?”
I was surprised when a sudden voice ca at my sides
“Yes, we are Please take care of us”
“Please take care of us!”
Following Saleel-sensei, we said our greetings unaniht Order
“I, Keirai, will guide you today This place is big so it’s easy to get lost I don’t want you to walk around without permission I will count on you to do that today”
The e if he already has a child Even if I say he’s old, his aura screams “I’m a front liner!” Is this what they call silver fox?

“Keirai-san is really strong after all”
Rent turned to me and said that in a soft voice
“You know him?”
“My father talked about him before And I met Keirai-san the time I went to fetch my father when he was drunk”
“Which ht Order?”
“Did I not tell you? He was a member, but not anymore He works at the countryside Because of that incident…”
That incident? Though I asked back since I do not knohat he meant, Rent has fallen silent I don’t think I can forcibly make him tell me and the conversation stopped there
“This is the building of the Knight Order’s headquarters, and knights hardly drop by here”
Keirai-san’s voice resounded in the building
We looked into some rooms and advanced to the interior steadily
Our last destination is the armory
“Swords! There’s so many of them!”
Following Rent who entered ahead, the swords displayed in a row on the wall glistened in the dark room
We pass along the place where the swords are carefully placed one by one We gathered in front of those comparatively simple ones
It was said that they are all swords used for training They are surely not that beautiful in appearance Keirai-san infor the sith one hand
“Do you want to have a look?”
Keirai-san says so, and handed the sword to Rent as the nearest
It’s a little big for his body, but Rent gladly look at here
“Rent-kun is strong as expected Did you get it from your father?”
Rent proudly answered that he trains every day
Do you want to look? And then it was my turn next, so I held out o, ht that is more than I expected
“Ugh…”
It’s heavy It’s too heavy I passed the sword and it immediately fell from my hands The loud sound reverberated in warehouse and pierced our ears The sword that shi+ned dimly, fell over the floor
“It’s impossible…!”
“What are you doing~?”
Rent picked up the sword on the floor while I felt like bothto fall off
This ti it in th, but I couldn’t simply move like Rent He waved the sith composure even when he held it with both hands
I passed the sword to the next child at once
“El-kun, was it?” (Keirai)
“Yes”
In the end, only I showed a difficult expression while holding the sword Though Rent is the most superior, there wasn’t anyone around who is powerless more than me
“You caht Order?”
Keirai-san abruptly came near me so I instinctively stepped back I know that his serious eyes are assessing me and it’s scary
“Rather than interest… I alanted to fight with the sword in a very cool way…”
“I see”
Keirai-san had a complicated expression and nodded when he heard what I said He caught my arm suddenly
“Eh…?”
I tried to twist my body to run away but it is not possible to do so since rasped it for a while, he suddenly let go
I don’t understand what happened but I think that I was able to actually feel the strength of Keirai-san’s grip withripped still remained
“You are… not suited to be a knight ”
Keirai-san said toat the middle of his sentence
“I will say it bluntly Your physique is not suited for swordplay Ifpoint, you should place all your efforts in developing your ly recommend that you aim to be a civil servant Do your best, boy!”
Do your best, he strongly clapped onthat I staggered with impact from where he placed his hand It seeain
“Then, the last one shall be the training grounds You’re lucky today Even if I say so, that…”
Keirai-san walked away, leaving the agitated students
“…don’t mind it”
“Good luck!”
“If it’s you, you can do it! Since you’re intelligent”
‘No way!’ I sighed as my friends said words that I can’t decide whether they are kind or irresponsible Everyone winked at at me, then ran after Keirai-san one by one
Finally, it was only Rent who reht words to say If I get praised like before, I will be embarrassed even further
“Keirai-san is very good at seeing through a person’s skills in swordsmanshi+p What Ithe sword But Keirai-san was surprised by El the most! Keirai-san is fa!”
“…Haa, Rent did not cheer me up at all!”
When I heard Rent’s words that did not cohed instinctively
“They’re o”
I was surprised but I also agreed at the same time I a I vaguely noticed it Apparently, e Matthias will be worried aboutme drink milk
I think while walking
As expected, I’ll give it up and be a cafe master Just as Keirai-san said, I have to capitalize on ic That would be perfect
Note: Matthias, the idiot-parent El, the princess unknowing kid who started everything And Alois, the pitiful victim
