Still, he got as much information as he could legally obtain.

That he was the central figure in the ritual to create the 'Knight Ghost' and that a white-robed wizard was present there. He was proud to tell me that much. He didn't know who the wizard was because he himself didn't know. He had been sent by a knight's acquaintance, who also knew him.

'...... That's not even funny. An ex-knight would take something of gold and escape without telling us why ......

Iris let out a small sigh, then murmured.

'I'm sorry. Miko-sama.'

Royeld and the maids shrink more and more.

Iris quickly changed her expression, soothingly.

You are not responsible for this, Mr. Roiild. And what about your father?

I told you. But it's very private.

'Then I command it in the name of Iris-Hapheumea.

Iris declared, turning her chest away.

Trying to look as pompous as possible, Aine and Raphilia lined up on either side.

'Now drive the guards to the gates of the town. All the gates are to be sealed off. It is forbidden to go out at night. The reason for this will be ...... demons appearing or whatever.

...... ”Dear 'Sea Dragon Maiden'

This is the city where Iris and all her loved ones live. The guardian god, Kerkator, protects the ships at sea. Then isn't it the role of people to protect the security of the land?

'You're right!　Miko.

Royeld looks at Iris with a twinkle in his eye.

Aine gently pats her chest. The next lord is already like a follower of Iris-chan. If this person is the next lord, then Ilgafa will be at ease──.

Iris continues to give orders in a more imposing tone.

''Question the guards guarding the gate. Please find out if Garungala has gone out of town. If he is out of town, then I will again ask your father for instructions.

I secretly exchanged glances with Iris, Aine and Rafilia.

The port city of Ilgafa is a town governed by the lord's family.

There is no need to speak out more than necessary. You have more important things to do with Iris and others.

That's all the instructions from Iris. However, let's assume that this is ordered by Iris and Royeld ...... you and yourself. I will not allow Iris to judge your guardian knight.

...... ”Dear 'Sea Dragon Maiden'

However, as the 'Priestess of the Currents,' I will take a look at Galungara-sama's room. Because perhaps some of the items needed for the ritual have been stolen.

Yes, of course it is. At your disposal, miko.

Royeld grudgingly lowered his head.

Iris put her hand gently over his forehead.

'Go away. ''My next lord.''

Iris told him quietly.

''If you settle this matter, you will be able to enhance your reputation as the next lord, or vice versa. 'If your friends have sinned, make your friends aware of it, and aim for a new port together' - an Irgafa proverb. I give you this.

'Thank you. Priestess.

Iris closed the door while looking at Royeld, who was bowing to the extent that his head was almost on the floor.

After confirming that the sound of footsteps were moving away──.

My brother's prediction came true, sir. Possible number two.

That's what I'm talking about.

I'm sure Mr. Ilis is planning something together, isn't he?

Nagi and the others had broken the art of creating knight ghosts.

It seems that the new slave girl's power, the ”Immediate Sacred Object Seizure 《Artifact Ruler》, has shattered the ”Ghost Summoning” magic on the armor by completely controlling the black knight's armor, shattering it to its core. Even the magic that was faintly connected by magic power, the magic that controlled the other knight ghosts, was completely.

The summoning magic that was broken would be uncontrollable, even by the summoner.

When that happens, the Ghost's wrath will be directed at those who have awakened from their slumber. This is information from Cecil, the magic expert, and Rita, the user of the 'Divine Power'.

The sorcerer - naturally, the retired knight Galungara, who was at the center of the ritual.

If that's the case, would you seek help from someone else, or would you run away? The result was the latter, though.

I'm sure you'll find out the true identity of the 'white wizard' if you capture the retired knight Galungara. If the 'visitors' were involved, you said you wanted a clue to that.

We're looking for that which is left behind.

I think I might have something that could help you.

It was already late at night, which was counter-intuitive. Iris and the others change into their usual clothes and begin to investigate. The goal is the retired knight Galungara's room.

Let's investigate briefly and surely.

Let's make sure that the master returns and praises us properly.

──────────── ...

Don't come. Don't come to me. Don't come to ────!

Galungara, the retired knight, shouted as he frantically ran his horse.

The art was broken.

This had never happened before.

Galungara and the other retired knights had called the knight's ghost to test the guts of the new knights and had them attack it. Until now, the hefty newcomers had been able to get away with it by either running away from it or chasing away the lucky ones.

But never before has this happened. The art is being destroyed from the ground up.

Garungala's control over the ghosts has vanished.

The knight ghosts are directing their anger at Galungara, who was in charge of the summoning technique, for interrupting their sleep.

''Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Show your knightly spirit, your pride, your honor, your battlefield, your modern-day knights.

A translucent knight chases behind Galungara, who is desperately trying to run his horse.

He can't shake it off.

The knight-ghosts on the horse-ghosts each have their own spears and swords and are stalking Galungara.

To test his guts and mettle.

'Why are you coming at me alone!　You were with all the other retired knights when you summoned them!　That's not fair...!

'Lack of spirit', 'lack of courage', 'sheer knighting these days!

I don't remember where we drove, or how we drove.

We were already outside the town of Irgafa. The soldiers guarding the gate complained to me, but I used the name of Royeld to get through. I don't think Ghost was seen.

If the retired knights found out that they were haunted by ghosts, they would be a laughing stock. I would be too embarrassed to even go to a gathering of knights. I'll have to hide for a while until I get rid of the ghosts.

That's why I stole all the money. As expected of the shipping town of Ilgafa, the furnishings of the room are luxurious. If I sell these, I can live for a few months. No, it's a life on the run.

If only I could defeat the ghosts myself...

I haven't wielded a ...... sword or anything like that in years.

I sold the magic sword I was using when I was on active duty.

It's because socializing with other knights is expensive. If you don't have the most luxurious armor and fancy swords possible, you'll get licked. Galungara used to serve at the side of His Majesty the King and could confide all kinds of secrets to him, but that's in the past. It's no good if the secrets themselves escape him. There were times when I tried to find out, but even that would cost me a lot of money. I don't know how long this whole thing has been going on. When would it end?

The only way to find out is to look for the Priest of Guri. ......

Do you want to go to Metekal and have the Iturna cult exorcise the ghosts?

No. There are too many people in there.

An ex-knight who served His Majesty can't take a whole bunch of ghosts with him.

''How did I get myself into this ──────!

I was just trying to mentor a new knight. Even if some of them were crushed, it was all part of the calculation. What does it matter if a few useless recruits died? How, how could it be like this!

If you don't reach out to your buddies, you can go to ......

The retired knight Galungara murmured - and realized that he had left his means behind.

He took what seemed to be money at random.

On the contrary, he was not aware of anything else. I left it behind. Both items to contact my 'friends' and items that showed that I had been trusted by the king.

Galungara's face turned pale. But there is no going back to get them now.

''Why did you break the jutsu, rookie knight Fuzzy!　You should have let the ghosts get to you!　You don't know what you're doing at ────!

Just barely clenching his teeth, the retired knight Galungara just kept running his horse - and that's all.
