Chapter 19 (2/2)
「I at least, who was brought to this place without any explanation. I don’t know what kind of person the one called the King is. Therefore I’d be troubled if I were to lower my head all of a sudden to that King. I understand that he can move the country and should be respected, but currently that’s all he is. In addition, a knight who starts yelling at someone without allowing them to explain has no right to talk about etiquette.」
A person like you has no right to call me a child or say I have no etiquette.
Hmph, I answer while turning my head to the side. I’ll decide who I’ll respect with my own eyes.
「What was that! Just because a child like you received an audience doesn’t make you special! A child that came from who knows where! I’ll toss you into prison!」
I suddenly hear an angry voice in the vicinity, when I looked over surprised, the Grim Knight who was yelling earlier was approaching, stretched out his arm to seize me.
With a large build of approximately 2 meters he was swiftly approaching, I was surprised with his arm length, I promptly grabbed his arm and twisted it, and as his posture crumbled, I kicked the back of his knee and he lost his posture, drove my palm to the side of his jaw as his body fell.
After his posture collapsed, the attack made the Grim Knight stagger unintentionally, and fell on his back.
It was instinctively done as self-defence, although it was a beautiful hit on the jaw, it was a regular attack without any Ki put into it. He’s wobbling a bit it seems.[r3]
However, after being thrown down by child with a weak appearance, the Grim Knight got up with a bright red face.
「You brat! I won’t allow anymore!」
The Grim Knight took action, drew the sword from his back and charged.
This guy sure has a considerably low boiling point.
Doing something like this so close to the King.[r4]
And also, child this, child that, so annoying. I wonder if I should get a little serious?
I cope with it while watching calmly.
The Prince and Squad Captain next to me tries to help, but they most likely won’t make it in time since they’re currently kneeling.
The Grim Knight brandishes his sword in an overhead position with both hands. The opponent has his whole body concealed in armor so I’ll be at a disadvantage if I’m to attack normally.
s.h.i.+fting my body to match the sword while it’s swinging down, I collected Ki in my right hand and follow the sword’s blade and s.h.i.+ft it’s trajectory.
The moment the sword strikes the floor, I leap up using the hands gripping onto the sword as a stepping stone.
I grasped the opponent’s head with both hands so I wouldn’t miss the impact, gathered Ki onto my knee and slammed it into his forehead with all my strength.
The attack seemed to be effective, the Grim Knight lightly flew off and collapsed. As expected, he didn’t let go of his sword, is what I should be saying right?
I wonder if the collapsed Grim Knight has a concussion, he’s not getting up.
For several seconds, no movement happened in the room, the Prince who came back to his senses —
「Arrest him!」
— Let out a shout, the knights who were by the wall removes the Grim Knight’s sword.
The Grim Knight’s concussion seems to have ended and stood up whilst staggering a little.
「YOU BASTAAARD! I’LL KILL YOU!」
He can still talk.
He’s the one who started this though. Getting beaten at his own game, why is he angry? I’m the one who should be angry.
「Gildas! Stop, this is an order!」
The King shouted
The violent Grim Knight = Gildas obeyed the order with a bright red face.
Gildas…?
That name seems to be mixed in with my memories of my previous life.
Right, the last words I said in my previous life…
(Gildas… you…)
Could it be…
「Grim Knight-san, is your name Gildas Somur Lambert by any chance?」
He seems familiar when I look closely.
The one who responded was the King.
「Indeed, that person’s name is Gildas Somur Lambert but… Sakura right? Do you know Gildas?」
It appears I’m right.
The enemy I met in my previous life…
If I’m not mistaken, Gildas was supposed to be 20 years old at the end of my previous life
The Gildas in front of me is around 50 years old… Perhaps, not much time has pa.s.sed since the end of my previous life…? Approximately 20 to 30 years?
It’ll be necessary for me to confirm this later.
Let’s say 30 years, if we a.s.sume that, there should be people that know me from my previous life.
Right, because I was Sobule Kingdom’s Royal Court Mage in my previous life.
For now, let’s postpone confirming the current era
「Right… But the knowledge I have seems to be from a considerably long time ago. At any rate, he was the one who killed me in my previous life.」
While surveying the interior of the room, there’s things which appear in my previous life’s memory, also after hearing that, the Prince and the Squad Captain had a baffled expression, the other people had a ‘what’s this person talking about?’ type of expression judging from their face.
「What are you saying! Your face doesn’t resemble anyone I know!」
Gildas shouts.
「Settle down, Gildas. So, what’s going on? Are you going to explain?」
After being told off by the King, Gildas who was shouting became docile.
「I understand. Please restrain him. It’ll be troublesome if he starts rampaging again.」
After saying so, Gildas got restrained.
「Although Prince Sedrim and Squad Captain Rias knows already, I came here from a different world. A proof of the otherworld was shown at an earlier time, Prince Sedrim and Squad Captain Rias has an understanding of it. Isn’t that right?」
This part of the explanation will be lengthy, so I used these two people as verification instead.
「Yes, she suddenly appeared from the sky during the bandit subjugation, I’ve also received the object of evidence. I guarantee it.」
「Umu, me too.」
Both the Prince and Squad Captain voice an agreement.
「And so, as I mentioned before, I remember my「Previous Life」. 「Previous Life’s Knowledge」would be more precise. My previous life has turned into knowledge. What kind of world I lived in, what I was doing, what kind of person I was, friends, acquaintances and so forth.」
The moment surveyed the room, I met the King’s gaze.
「My previous life’s name was「Lyle Dist」. I was Sobule Kingdom’s Royal Court Mage.」
