Chapter 15 (2/2)

If he took a step in the wrong direction, it would end up as a personality that was unbefitting of a noble, but the villagers were careful, and around people froes or travellers, they would properly attach ‘-sama‘ to his name, so there wasn’t much to worry about

There was soin with, not e, so for now there didn’t see that would cause trouble

After that, Patrick organised his luggage and left theht with him

Each ti Luru books as souvenirs like this

Luru reht these even though books were expensive, Patrick had replied that he had a friend with a large book collection, and because that friend often bought books, he could get them at a cheaper price

Perhaps because they were obtained through that channel, they were slightly old editions and soood source of information, and was no problem to Luru

Whilst eating the lunch that Medea and Iris had ether and chatted

Patrick knew a lot, so he would speak about the conditions of the capital, but the contents were sie could understand, so even the detailed conversations were appropriate for a child of his age, and it sees beyond this, so Luru felt that he was lacking information

This hy he wanted to do the deal with Gran and Yuuood idea, Luru had a chat with his father for the first time in a while

The conversations he had with his father had interesting contents, but as expected, it was quite different frorasp the atmosphere of the capital fros like international relations

Even when he did talk about it on occasion, they were eneral infors hie he had learned from books

The reason he didn’t speak about things in detail was because Luru had the appearance of a seven year old, so it ht have been inevitable, but as expected, Luru felt a little disappointed about this

Unlike adventurers, Patrick couldn’t just freely cross over to other countries, and as a knight who had sworn allegiance to the kingdom, he couldn’t touch on subjects that were classified and wouldn’t thoughtlessly speak about these things

So in general, you could say that his father had the exact opposite character of carefree adventurers

While they were having theirIris, and readily agreed with a nod

It was likely that after having a chat with Iris andwith her character, he judged that there were no problems

As for the paperwork, they decided to have him hand in the forms when he returned to the capital

The story about how the adventurers cae also came up

While talking about that, Medea told Patrick about how Luru went to the ruins, but he wasn’t that angry, and it ended with hi excessive

And then, the most important topic came up

Luru quietly began to talk

“Also… Dad[/Tousan] There’s so I need to talk about”

It see was up about Luru’s formal attitude, for his cheerful smile turned into a serious expression as he watched Luru

“What is it?”

“I want to becoht?”

Without any pretences, Luru immediately cut to the point, and Patrick smiled at that

“…That’s fine Though we’re lower class, we’re still nobles so it isn’t as though there aren’t proble a son fro too, so there’s the possibility of having a younger brother for you But… Luru”

When Luru ondering if Patrick would accept without issue, Patrick’s words trailed off, and Luru’s was not so bad at guessing that he couldn’t tell what Patrick wanted to say

Luru slowly nodded, and waited for his father’s words

“Yeah”

“The adventurer occupation is easier said than done So I’e to complete”

“A… challenge, huh…?”

Just what kind of challenge would Patrick be giving him?

Luru could souess

While his father was gentle, his real character was that of a knight

A challenge that a knight would give

It ithout saying

Patrick spoke

“Yes… Until your fourteenth birthday, you have to get e your swordsmanshi+p If you can’t do that, even if you become an adventurer, you’ll just die, you see… Is that fine?”

Having said that, Patrick’s eyes blazed and housed a strong will different to the kind smile up until now

Luru could feel an intensity from Patrick that was in no way inferior to the warriors that challenged hi

So Luru answered

He understood that he couldn’t refuse; it was the same both today, and in the past

“Yeah… I got it Until my fourteenth birthday, I’ll show you that I can becoe, Dad[/Tousan]”

Whilst receiving Patrick’s intensity, Luru declared this without hesitation, and Patrick sain

However, that sentle one… but the very s found a worthy opponent

“As expected of my son Now then, since that’s decided, it’ll be special training for you toer”

Having said that, his father’s expression returned to normal

In the end, could Luru becoh to defeat Patrick?

Patrick was strong

He was certainly not this country’s strongest, but his skill was guaranteed

Why?

It was because his occupation was none other than the sword instructor of the Royal Knight Order, known as the strongest in the country

If you wanted the Kingdoest, you would norht Order, or the Head Magician of the court es

However, in swordsmanshi+p alone, there was probably nobody in the country who could beat Patrick

In swordsmanshi+p, his talent was beyond a level that anybody could follow

His strength was enough that you could declare this

Sensing that he could become an adventurer with a normal level of determination, he quickly tidied the lunch table, and headed to the garden with a wooden practice sword in hand

Fro

Otherwise, so Patrick would be beyond a dream

So Luru thought

Patrick uses ‘boku‘（僕） to refer to himself which is both huht his soft and gentle atmosphere

‘Whilst receiving Patrick’s intensity‘ 威迫your power’ So it means ‘threat’ if translated, but it’s not really the threat you’d normally think of（脅迫） so I did it as ‘intensity’

~Whilst being forced accepting Patrick’s terms (because of his intensity)~

‘beyond a dream‘ 夢のまた夢 means ‘a dream within a dream’ So like, a super far-fetched dream Beyond your wildest drea
