183 # 172 Ix Treatment and Princess Knight.txt (2/2)

I think she was about the same age as me. She was a woman of dignity and pride, the very embodiment of a princess knight.

''I am pleased to meet you for the first time. I am the Summoner's Tact. I was told that you wished to meet me?

Yes, sir. First of all, I would like to thank you. On behalf of my country, I would like to thank you for providing my sister with a drink that will ease her suffering.

You're a very disciplined man.

'And I would also like to thank you for defeating those knights the other day.

Hmm? I thought that would be a fighting trend, but no?

''To be honest, the current Order is very loose. My immediate knights are different, but the country's knights have not had a war or a monster attack in hundreds of years, so they don't take their training seriously in a token way.

'To top it all off, they ended up guarding the royals for points. I've always wanted to do something about it, but I've never been able to pursue them because they never fail to do anything.

Ah... you've read the story.

''So, since I defeated the knights in Princess Henri's guard, you were able to pursue them?

That's right. They're training hard for it. But I have my place in the world. More than anything else, the knights, Henri, and Lord Olivier admire you, and I would like to cross swords with you as a knight.

See, it's an event. But it wasn't just an event. A big Serian Beast man in knight armor and a handsome knight said.

'Wait a minute. It doesn't look good for us if we only let the princess fight.

'Garou is right. Princess. Give us a fighting chance!

'You're both right, but that wouldn't be fair.

Is that an excuse? That's just fine.

How about fighting my subraces, then?

'Oh!　Then it's only fair, right?　If it's the dragon newt they say it is, then I'm going to fight it too.

I'm in good hands with him, too.

The two knights seem to be on board. But the princess seems to be different.

''I would like to fight the Dragon Newt too, but...''

We can't do that!

Hime. This guy seems to genuinely like fighting.

How many of your sub-race are there?

There are six of us now, and only four of us can fight with swords.

You mean, five against five!　Nice. I'm on fire!

''But Princess, the other knight leaders won't look good if we enjoy ourselves, will they?

So it's confirmed that the other party is the Knight Commander class?

''...I suppose so. Then, let's change the day. Is there a day that is convenient for you, Takt-sama?

If it hadn't been suggested to me first, I would have done it. Lilly and the others can't fight, you know.

'Thank you. As a matter of fact, Drago Newt is currently unable to fight due to the cost of his dragonification.

'You can turn into a dragon?　That was bad... if the rules hadn't banned it, we would have lost.

It looks like he's not as strong as Lily and the others in the dragon state. No, being careless is a great enemy.

''We have to make sure we have a set of rules. I heard that the price of Dragon Newt's dragonification is healed in four days.

Four days means it'll be fixed tomorrow. But there's that whole King Kong fort thing going on. Okay, I'll take it.

”How about this time in two days?

No problem. I look forward to the duel in two days' time.

That's where the info comes in.

Requested Quest ”Freetia's Knights Training Match”: Difficulty Level B

Reward: Varies according to victory or defeat.

A training match against the captains of the Freetian Order.

A five-on-five match format.

Was the difficulty the same as the cooking battle... or was that quest, the same difficulty as fighting the captains of the Knights?

''You fat cat over there, show him around.

'Yee!　No, I can't!　I'm leaving now for a conference tomorrow!

Oh...that means that Aura-san and the others will disappear too? Well, we can ask another staff member to help us, and if anything happens, we can contact them.

''You're a useless fat cat, aren't you?''

Do you think that will make your sins go away?

Ugh...

What did you do? This guy. On the way home, I asked him what happened to him, and he told me that three years ago, when he was sleeping in the castle garden in his fat cat form, Princess Sarah found him and petted him. But according to Kaim, she touched my delicate zone and my transformation spell was broken.

As a result, he ended up sticking his face in Princess Sara's skirt while she was squatting. That's out.

Normally, this would be a death sentence, but because he was already one of the world's most skilled grammas in the Beast Demon Guild, he survived, but apparently his relationship with Princess Sara is terrible. I guess he had it coming.
