165 165. Knight of the Dark Night (1/2)

--Two men were walking through the city at night. Each wore the armor of a knightly order. The men were knights and were patrolling the town at night.

Basically, they patrolled along a set route and checked for anything out of the ordinary.

The town was quiet and unchanging as many people had already gone to bed.

I'm not busy.

A young knight, still in his youth, made a light-hearted remark. The man walking next to him reacted to this.

You're not bored. I'm working.

The man's name is Zaida Eiffel.

He belongs to the Kuro Wolf Knights, and his rank is ”First Officer” - a veteran who has been working as a knight for more than fifteen years. In the event that you're a first class officer, you'll often be tasked with defeating dangerous demons or taking part in missions that are important to the country, and all of them are recognized for their abilities.

Zaeeda was now mainly in a position to mentor her younger colleagues.

Therefore, she took the initiative to participate in patrol duties.

I know, I know. I was just complaining.

The young knight replied with a bit of disapproval after hearing Zaida's words. It's not that he's not serious, but he's still not fully aware of what it means to be a knight.

It's his role to guide those people.

”If you have time to complain, do your job.

I know what I'm talking about. ...... Even so, we're bored these days, aren't we?

It's good that we're free. It's a good thing we have free time, although I'm not sure we really do.

”Are you talking about Commander Eain?

The young knight asks, and Zaida nods and answers.

Yes. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

The leader of the Kuro Wolf Knights, Remyll Ein. Although he is still in his twenties, he is the leader of one of the five knight orders that protect this country.

She used to be active in the field, but now she is mainly working at her desk.

However, the fact that she is able to handle these tasks is proof of her excellence. When she had just joined the knights, Zaida had worked with her before.

It's a good idea to take a look at the list of people who are interested in becoming a knight in shining armor.

It's not easy, is it? Isn't there a candidate for acting commander over there?

”It's not that there aren't any. It's just that it's not so easy to decide. A Knight Commander is ...... not just a representative of the knights.

Is that so?

Yeah, keep that in mind. A lot of knights are not interested in power,......, but it is a part of being a knight-errant. Many knights admire the knight-errant who leads the order. You can find many reasons for this, such as ”it's cool” or ”I want to get ahead”. But to actually become a knight commander is not just to lead the knights of this country. Your abilities must be recognized, and you must fight all kinds of ”enemies”. In a sense, it is a lonely existence. It is not always the case that the person who is recommended is the one who wants the position. Whether it's a battle of ceding or a battle of taking - what inevitably follows is a trivial 'power struggle'. The 《Holy Armor Knights》 can be said to be in that situation right now.

Of course, not all of Zaida's opinions are true.

It's just that there are knights who think that way, and there are also knights like Remyll who don't care about power and try to fulfill their duties as ”knights.

But it's difficult to determine who those people are at the moment.

If Haylon Stiletto, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Armor, had had some idea of his successor, there might have been no problem, but he seemed to be in the process of searching for a replacement.

As a result - Remyll was to be the acting leader.

I don't know if Haylon will wake up or not ......, but either way, the problems of the Order of the Holy Armor will continue for a while.

......It's kind of a tough question. I've heard that the Knights of the Holy Armor have an elite group of knights. I'm sure it's not an easy task to bring them all together.

I guess so. I'm not sure what to do. Those who can take on such a heavy responsibility need to be prepared.

That's how it is, isn't it? As for me, I'm fine with doing night patrols like this.

Because it's easier?

It's not that, but it's ...... worth it.

”Deserved? I guess you could say I know what I'm doing. But why do you want to be a knight?

It's a little embarrassing to be asked that again.　It's a little embarrassing to be asked that again. ......

”If you don't want to answer, that's fine. If you don't want to answer, that's fine, but don't forget to answer the question, 'Why did you become a knight?
