King Arthur took me, and a week had passed since Saab returned here to Grayberg.

This is the former Aries-Graeberg School.

Now renamed the Saint Knights Training School, the Saint Knights Apprentice makes use of it, aiming to join the Knights of Saint Gwyn.

And this is an indoor-facing arena and practice area.

There, now, a Saint Knight apprentice had been trained directly by Saint Knight Chief Carlisle Graeberg.

"How many times can I tell! Don't deal with swords with your arms alone, you don't have hips in it!

Carlisle is a beautiful boy with long golden hair.

He's taller, taller, and more muscular in style.

"I'm not gonna train magic until I can do that."

I don't know what the hell is emanating from that noticeable face and windy hair, but every time he wipes his sword, a woman in the audience cheers yellow.

"Hey, wait a minute! Mr. Carlisle, I'm a wise man, right? The sword may be important too, but we need to practice magic soon!... You can't beat Nito with this!

"Saeki, you don't have to worry about that."

"Huh?"

"Nobody expects anything from you. When did someone ask you to kill Nito? Is that what King Arthur said?

……

Yes. An apprenticeship of the Holy Knight is about Saab.

Saab bows to Carlisle's words in embarrassment.

And that was then.

Suddenly, Carlisle appeared at Saab's present, and Saab's sword was begun on the sword he swung up as it was, and he was flown away.

"Once dead, imprint it on your head."

"... excuse me"

"Don't be alarmed in front of the person who pulled the sword out. Now Nito can't even beat me. If you don't cross me, you can't beat Nito. It's good to talk about dreams, but look at reality."

"Excuse me."

"Why don't you give it a try? A misguided magician like you usually thinks that even magic is enough, etc. But battles don't last long on the battlefield. Everyone knows that the Mage's weakness is melee. Everyone approaches for it. If I were to use you as a throwaway pawn like an infantry in another country, all I had to do was learn magic. But you need to be a squad level fighter by yourself. I'm lying to King Arthur because it's a delicacy that I can be. I want you to be mine for a little while."

"... excuse me"

"Ha... I'm sorry, I can't be strong. Saeki, aren't you going to turn this nasty voice into a cheer for yourself, for example? You're not gonna take this depressing elephant from me?

"What's an elephant..."

This is what Carlisle is.

I have a little difficulty with my personality.

Saab already understands that. But he's still the chief saint.

There was just enough potential to be entrusted to the head, and Saab admitted it.

That's why I've been so honest.

But as Carlisle, we're in trouble.

I want Saab to be more aggressive.

That's why I dare publish my training regularly.

"Surely this country needs to change. The Holy Knight is the first symbol of its existence. If the Holy Knights grow up and the Knights are formed in the true sense, the view of the nations will also change. You should also be able to regain the trust of the people. But I'm not going to let you or anyone else carry that mission."

"Mr. Carlisle...... I am"

"Why don't we play more?

"... what?

Saab looked dumb as if he had been stuck by surprise.

"It's just ridiculous, like the Holy Knight, at 17. Don't you think?

……

Shut up Saab without knowing what the question means.

It was Arthur who brought Saab here in the first place.

Of course I accepted the invitation after understanding it to be Saab.

I was also prepared to be a holy knight.

Carlisle's words were a mockery of Saab's readiness to do so.

But when Carlisle's expression gradually changes, the meaning of the conversation changes again.

"When I was seventeen, I told my father I was going to train my sword to visit a whorehouse in town."

……

What the hell is the chief knight in front of you trying to say? - Such a question vaguely came to Saab's head.

"You have more important things ahead of combat technology. You can lick me with those eyes, okay? They'll see us soon enough."

"Eyes? What do you mean I have eyes!

"What are you doing here in this country? Why do you want to be strong?"

"So to kill Nito"

"What do you do with killing Nito? What are we gonna do after that?"

"And then..."

"It's a simple story. You have no reason. I mean, the readiness and the contents of the thing are empty. The real reason you're here is just a accomplishment. You just followed your course, and you have no intention there. No matter how much knowledge you pack and how much magic you sift, your strength as a wise man is the same as that sword. As much as I make you the Holy Knight now, I choose the other mediocre, not the brave. They'll have better eyes."

Why should they say that?

What does “good eye” mean?

Apparently, Saab doesn't have enough, but he has no words to consider and return, and he doesn't know why.

"Pull yourself out once, then look around. Saeki. Is this just another world for you guys?

……

"What you see around you are otherworlds, you're brave and I'm otherworlds too? Hmm? What do you say?

"I..."

What is Carlisle trying to say?

What is missing from Saab?

Saab felt like he only figured it out a little.

"I'm just a person. Saeki, you too."

Carlisle left the practice area when he said so and turned his back on Saab.

Yellow cheers echo as they follow, and their flock disappears outside the venue.

Saab picked up the sword at his feet while being accidentally blinded by such a sight.

Then, even if it meets his own gaze reflected on the blade, he delivers it to the sheath in such a way that it deviates.

Then Saab looks over the exercise area and sighs and walks to the entrance and exit of the venue.

There was a woman in the audience with her eyes turned when she was a maiden in love, holding her hands together with her chest to the back of such a Saab.

Is the golden hair on the shoulder long enough to make curly hair on the shoulders strong enough?

The woman was dyeing her lips with red that suited her white skin.

As young, poor and beautiful as Saab.

I'm wearing dress-style light clothing, but I wouldn't be a civilian because of its face or the fact that I have a servant behind me.

She was noble.

"Dear Julius, I was wondering if it was time for you to return."

Julius looks back about half his face at the servant's voice.

"I want to be staring. I don't know… I want to do that now"

……

After a while, Saab disappeared.

"Alicia. Shall we go then"

For some reason from beside saying so, Julius smiled and held her mouth down with her elegant hands.

"And even though you haven't been here long, you've come to say it too"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"It's a joke. I appreciate the escort. Then let's go."

The two of them had no further conversations in particular.

It won't be as close as it gets.

I still think there's a distance between a servant called Alicia and Julius.

But I have no choice. Alicia was hired as her escort only recently.

"What can a man like me do at a time like this?"

"Why don't you go ahead and talk to him directly?"

"If I could do that, I wouldn't struggle."

"Then I call on Master Saeki."

"You shouldn't!

Julius looks back with unexpected voice and momentum.

"Oh, I'm sorry...... but it's good"

……

"Dear Julius. From what I've seen, Saeki is now being asked to do nothing."

"Duh, what makes you think that?

"Lord Saeki is revealed to be one of the brave men summoned by the former princess Ariez. We have separated from your friends who have been summoned together and are now alone. He decided to join the Knights of St. Gwynn and came to this country."

"I know. But what does that mean?

"I don't train well, and I don't have any friends I can rely on. Mentally unstable men are the ones who are looking for women somewhere. I thought this might be your chance."

"Is that true? Does Alicia really think so?

"Yes. Definitely. And then it's up to you, Julius."

As determined in those words, Julius turns his back and holds his hand again in front of his chest.

A few steps away from Alicia clears up that look that was just a little nagging.

"My heart belongs to Saeki-sama."

I don't see why Julius is burning so much passion for Saab.

Does the brand make you think so as Saab's "Brave Man"?

Because Saab wasn't so hot either.

Rather, with a brave man back in Greyberg, there are many that come to peek into his training.

Most of them are women.

Much of it was for Carlisle's sake, but he didn't have much vision for Saab.

But that day, Julius never spoke to Saab.

She didn't have the courage yet.



The Fine Gold family has long been a nobleman serving Greyberg.

Julius was his only daughter, and now, for some reason, Alicia, as this servant of hers, was looking after herself.

Such an Alicia, but she was now away from Julius and walking in the garden facing alone on the property.

Luxurious garden surrounded by several flower beds.

There is a fountain around and you can hear the water bouncing.

But Alicia doesn't even look at a beautiful fountain.

"Fine Gold? What's that?"

"Apparently he's a nobleman serving this country."

"I see. So the daughter of the house fell in love with him at first sight?

"Yes."

'Huh... that's a masterpiece. Makes me laugh. But it's a good sign. Alicia, can we get the two of them together?

"Of course, sir."

'Then do so. This will be a good opportunity for him. Happy meeting you. "

A cunning laugh echoed on Alicia's head.

'Then I want to confirm one thing. My compatriots are sneaking me to Phishanatica. The Demons showed up and took four brave men. "

"Do you have a brave man?

'Oh. But I have an idea. Now that Cassandra's dead, only Ignotas can do this'

'Is it Ragpalos... am I okay to be here? Leave the mission once if necessary…'

"Don't worry. I decided to do the rest myself. It could also show up in Grayberg. Be careful. If you come across anything, relinquish your mission and return. You don't have to get involved with the Demons. '

'... I get it'

"Now, please continue."

'... Yes'

Alicia finished her conversation with Amadeus.

And look up into the sky.

"Alicia!"

Then I saw Julius there.

"Yes!"

"Were you here? Why don't you go shopping with me for a little while?"

"Yes, of course."

Alicia in a human figure without even the shadow of Kyouo.

She smiled softly and naturally, rushing to the present Lord, Julius.
