8, Cheesecake of Attraction (Part 3)
I have a sweet tooth
Because ever since I was young when my father would return fro desserts from a well-known shop
Father co home safely, that was happiness
Those desserts which served as proof was always eaten to the very last piece together with my brother
Tiht’s Order safely in perfect health, and I assumed the position of the leader
Elder brother didn’t becouards to become their commander
The two of us brothers were on good terms At least, until that time,
At that tiether with brother, I brought over desserts and drank alcohol
I got into an argument with my brother
The dessert I selected or the one my brother selected, which one was tastier
Of course ere aware of how ridiculous the fight was But, we had soive up
Because the one I selected was the one that father had bought for us
Brother says that the desserts from the dessert shop he found were tastier
Feeling like he had denied ive him
In the end, fro table nicely
Both of us gettingused to our jobs as leader and commander had passed we could not recover our relationshi+p
Such a discord was even handed down to our subordinates
At soht’s Order and the Ierous one
I aht’s Order, Blitz Rynbal
The Oritol Knight’s Order protected the streets and thepeace ti soldiers to protect our country on the front lines during times of war
It was a position of high honour
Even in the capital there was only four companies, and I became the the leader for all the companies, in the capital and the territories
Although I say that, I’ood at desk work
Occasionally I even
Each ti scolded by my close aide but I’m popular from my subordinates
No ether with them is uncommon
It’s just that I like to participate in their training
On the opposite side, Oritol Imperial Guards
The I deployed as the defenses for the castle
However, they co to protect everyone, the chief vassals and originally the royalty
Because of that each one of the a thousand men
It’s praise for the pressure that co royalty
Day and night there are hting against opponents like spies from other countries, or assassins
The one who acts as the commander of the Imperial Guards is my elder brother, Hill Rynbal
Me andthe Rynbal-ryu Magic Swordsmanshi+p
Making use of ways to attack with fire or wind
Further
Resistance against the eneic barrier
Using ic to make perfect close quarter combat as theour swordsmanshi+p
Me and my brother’s skills are a rivalry
Even that ended up spurring on the discord between the Knight’s Order and Imperial Guards
“Leader! Those guys froain!”
“Saying that we’re just dirty servants”
“Even though those guys work in a beautiful castle and don’t know the first thing about the streets”
These sorts of complaints were an everyday occurrence
In the first place the Knight’s Order was spread for believers Extensively recruited from citizens to royalty
However the Imperial Guards were strict, each one of them had to be recommended and pass a harsh test before they can be one
It naturally only becast royalty, and had a tendency to gather those ere even educated well
Since that’s so that can’t be helped and to be able to work there they ask for sonity
Anyhow they have to protect a large a the ier so problem
Truthfully, there have been those a the ones recruited who couldn’t understand the manners and quit To put it bluntly, if the person isn’t suitably tough then they aren’t fit for the job
Naturally here at the Knight’s Order there are also jobs where only the tough people are fit for the job It’s an everyday occurrence, skirle, there are even those who are killed with the anisations
Such a pissing co at all
However, the neighbourhood don’t consider that
Before I noticed, the Knight’s Order and the I a trial contest
I rushed into the Shogun’s room and had a direct talk with him
“Shogun, what is the ht’s Order and Imperial Guards like this!”
“This is the idea of the chief vassals and the king We have no say in this matter”
“Like this no ht become even harder!”
“Watch your ’s orders”
I understand that I can’t do that
I grasp my hand so bitterly that it see would do a plan like this
“I understand your feelings Leader Rynbal Truth be told, Commander Rynbal… Ah, Hill-dono also came here for a talk just like you”
“Eh?”
Brother did?
“He talked blandly of the relations groorse and the pointlessness of the contest Never showing his anger and talking using logic, that guy”
“Brother… was always the one to speak calmly after all”
“However, he pulled back after a certain piece of information was told”
A certain… piece of information?
“This trial contest will invite Ganglabe’s Mercenary Corp as guests and it’s been decided that Cougar-dono will participate”
Ganglabe’s Mercenary Corp?!
Acombat ability
With their participation, they were fa the hich Newbyst was said to definitely lose
And Cougar
A peculiarly refined swordsaryu A sword God who is said to kill and overturn a hundred enemies by himself
Without using anysaid to be at times beautiful, at times wild
I see, Cougar-dono will come
“Hmm, As expected of brothers
The joy of being able to fight a strong foe, you’re bea”
What?
Trying to touch it, indeedup
“Fighting a strong foe That is the iven to the Rynbal family
Despite that will you forfeit?”
“No, please let me do it”
After leaving the Shogun’s office I irounds
Throwing off all the clothes for govern wear and earnestly made an effort to train with my subordinate as an opponent
Then the appointed day
I woreroom
The waiting rooht’s Order and the Imperial Guards were prepared separately, you can feel the consideration around this matter
The contest right now is roughly 50-50
The subordinates of the Knight’s Order too acknowledged the opponent’s strength
It’s a good habit It’ll be good if the other side would also think like that though
“Leader, it’s almost time”
“Ah, with the results of the fight between ht against Cougar-dono”
“Please win!”
“Naturally No need to worry”
“Ah, that’s right Leader, you like desserts right?”
What is it, so sudden?
“To be honest it’s the other side’s cook, and the chief vassal and king Not just that, it see with dessert
This is leader’s share”
What he took out as he said that was so which looked like a cake
However the material was vastly different
A dessert coles
What is this?
“It seems to be a dessert made from cheese”
“Cheese? This is”
Speaking of cheese, it accompanies alcohol
Drinking it ine, the flavours spread throughout your mouth
“It doesn’t seem like any poison has been added, I’ll have some”
“Yes This was really good”
Hoh, then I’ forward to it
Holding the plate I received with one hand, using a spoon to cut through to the base and moved it to me mouth
I paused
What is this? Is this really cake!?
What spread through my mouth was indeed a flavour of cheese But there’s also so I don’t know in it
I get that that’s the secret to the sweetness but, I still don’t understand what that is
Then I was surprised
By the fact that this doesn’t use that ar
It was soar As a high class seasoning, I believed that only by using a large amount of it is the real pleasure of desserts
However what about this A harht forth by the natural sweetness of cheese and an orderly arrangear
Even as the viscous substance spreads through my mouth it wasn’t too rich
The inside of , the aftertaste onderful
Most likely, there is probably a secret in the base
It’s mixed with cookie
However this cookie It’s not just that
The flavour and texture is the sa it with the cookies that I know, this one wins by a world of difference
After eating this together with the top, the rich taste beautifully melts down
It’s a wonderful dessert More so than the dessert that I eat
That’s when I noticed
That ti is tasty
I was the one wrong feeling angry that he had soiled my memories
Brother was holding the dessert that he had confirue
That was so he had earned as an individual and chose by himself
He was bringing it as a sign of independence
How stupid could I have been
The one as pathetic, holding onto the past was me
“Ah, Leader, where are you going!?”
I can’t sit still, eating the entire dessert I started running
