My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

From the results, Harold passed the enrollment test brilliantly. It’s only natural that he has defeated more than 30 knights almost unscathed.

I couldn’t deal with movements that didn’t fit into the inherent motion with Harold’s reflexes and physical strength. That’s about it. When I noticed, the excitement I felt after a long time had subsided.

However, although I passed the exam, there are still problems. It’s a very difficult story, but some people didn’t feel good about the fact that the newcomers made their seniors bumpy.

“Harold is you a newcomer?”

“… what if?”

“Because my attitude seems to be huge, I’m thinking of teaching you how to behave as a newcomer.”

In other words, what I want to say is 10 days after joining the group. If there was a chance, I was entangled with a senior knight.

Harold’s frank impression is that the knight should be like that. From the outside, not all of them seemed to be good people, even though they were excellent and honorable.

However, when I asked Sid that he would do such a thing in a straightforward manner, he said that private fighting using weapons and magic was prohibited. It seems that breaking the ban will result in heavy penalties.

That’s why they get entangled with their bare hands. Of course, Harold also comes aiming for the time when he is bare-handed.

It seems that it is not a private battle using weapons but a training with bare hands.

Four senior knights line up in front of Harold, who has finished washing the hands of new members and is about to return to the corps after drying them. Harold sighed openly.

I don’t know that the attitude is also stroking the other person. For them, Harold doesn’t care what they do.

It is often said that if you hate a shaven, you hate even a sword. Even if you hit Harold, your drinking will not go down.

If you do, you won’t be beaten quietly. If you can’t avoid being hated, you can stay hated.

To be clear, it is meaningless just to deal with the other party. Harold has only one action here.

Bend both knees slightly to lower the center of gravity. The four people raise their alertness to the attitude of not jumping at any moment, but that becomes a lie.

Harold disappeared, leaving the wind noise of a buzzing, releasing the force on his feet.

I focused too much on Harold at a close distance, which narrowed my field of view and I couldn’t notice its speed. As a result, the response is delayed.

When he realized that Harold had disappeared, he had already kicked the stone wall on the right hand side and accelerated forward. With an action of less than a second, they leave four people behind and leave a distance of 20 meters or more at once.

If this happens, there is no way to catch up with the other party. Harold’s back was already far away when they turned around.

Aim for a popular place through the angry “Wait!” Hearing from behind. This is because if there is a public eye, it will be difficult for them to get involved.

If you overdo it like this, you don’t have to deal with the other party.

(Van Gogh wouldn’t be rewarded for having so many of them)

I was thinking about that.

Although Vincent is a powerful enemy in the game, he himself is a good man by nature. He is a person who always tried to be right as a person and as a knight.

“Knight is the sword and shield of the kingdom”

That is his belief, but Vincent tries to protect it. The king is not the only one. The kingdom he says is a word that refers to all the people.

If you want to borrow the lines you are working on

“It’s a country only with people. Without a country, no king is needed. That’s why it guides the country and is a peaceful edge 《 good 》 for the people. It is the duty of the king to build. Then we knights are the ones who eliminate the threats that attack them and open the way for the nation so that they can play their part!

Respect for goodwill, respect for gratitude, help the weak, remind the wrong, and mercilessly cut down those who hurt the people. Vincent is such a man.

He is definitely right. And he was strong enough to insist on its correctness and put it into practice. Partly because he himself forced him to do so.

As a result, Vincent in the original story was crushed by the ideal he had and his heart broke after he kept his belief.

It’s a little off topic, but in short, the admiration of training, which is clinging to the Knights like a bad tradition, is from the knight image and organization that Vincent wants. It’s a far cry. I wouldn’t forgive these things, and I wonder if he would be wiped out by Akatsuki, who became the leader.

I’m glad if you do so as soon as possible, and you can escape without loosening your legs while thinking like someone else’s affairs.

The time is already past noon. I thought it was time to have lunch, so I returned the wooden laundry basket I had in my hand to the corps and headed to the large dining room. In that case, there are many people in this time zone, so there is no obvious entanglement.

It’s a complete digression, but the basic menu is free for the food in the large dining room. There is a charge for adding high-grade items and side menus, but that is not a big amount.

The food was neither thick nor thin, and Harold, who had no particular preference, sat down in a vacant seat when he ordered the basic menu safely. Naturally, it’s a bocchi rice.

Harold, who is often associated with him, is avoided not only by his seniors but also by synchronization. Although it is a fellow student, it is certain that there is a wall because the time and circumstances of joining the group are different, but the number one factor is probably because it is involved every time.

If you are together, you may get caught up in it, so it is unavoidable to flinch to get closer.

“I’m frowning today, Harold”

However, there are exceptions everywhere, and Harold was vacant. There is also a man who sits right next to him without hesitation.

It’s Sid. And Robinson and Irene sat down to meet Harold to be taken by him.

“What is it for?”

“Because there was a poor junior who was eating alone. I’m thinking of sharing a table. “

” I don’t need to take care of you. Maybe you don’t have any decent friends? I’ve never seen anyone other than these. ”

“Don’t be stupid. I’m not Robin.”

“Don’t say anything you can’t deny …”

Suddenly a stray bullet hits directly and Robinson is disappointed. The appearance of curling his back and stirring the soup with a spoon in his hand is like a messy child.

I understand Harold because I have met him frequently since I came here, but this strong and big young man named Robinson is weak and delicate regardless of his appearance. Besides, he has a gentle temper. The appearance and contents do not mesh with each other.

So don’t be afraid, but you still need some time to get used to it. If you suddenly come into view, it will shrink reflexively.

“That’s why it became a popular person. Isn’t it difficult for my seniors?”

Sid is a little Say that by dropping the tone of your voice. Apparently there are people around him who aren’t happy with Harold.

Sid is a good person even if he sees that he is kind to me without being swept away by it. Robinson and Irene also turn their worried eyes to Harold.

“… Sure. I’m surrounded by troublesome guys right now.”

“If you can only say that, a real man It looks like “

Sid laughs with a smirk without making an unpleasant face even with curse.

Irene sighed.

“I don’t feel incredibly cute at all. That wouldn’t make friends or lovers.”

” Buhaha! You must say that you are a lover too! “

” What did you say? Sid “

Irene’s left straight explodes before Sid says it. The fist caught Sid’s face.

A red streak flows out of Sid’s nose, which was hit by a mercilessly swung fist.

“Huh, I don’t need that kind of thing”

“That’s right”

The moment he returned to the intimidating Eileen, Cody, who appeared out of nowhere, put his hand on Harold’s right shoulder. The face was the usual smirk.

I don’t see any noticeable reaction as the other three are accustomed to this appearance.

Harold is not so different from them on the outside, but inwardly, he is surprised and his heart is beating.

“Harold, you have a fiancé? You don’t need to make her anymore ~”

Preface like this Cody drops a bomb without a hitch. With all the surprises, Harold couldn’t react immediately.

On the contrary, he commits a fatal blunder.

“… Why do you know that?”

I asked that. This is like affirming Cody’s remarks as true.

Sid gently wipes the red liquid dripping from his nose with his cuffs while grabbing his empty left shoulder.

“Please tell me more about Harold. Do you have a fiancé?”

“So, neat. Cody is the one who answered Sid’s question, which is squeezing, “It’s a pretty girl who looks good in the words of the daughter of Fukamado.”

It’s frustrating, but the biggest problem is that it’s clearly like you know Erica.

“Hey, why did you say that guy–”

“Hey, did you say that guy now? In that year Is it already a hostess !? “

” Yeah, don’t scream, it’s annoying! “

” Well, will I go back to work? . You guys shouldn’t make a noise too. “

While struggling to pull off the sid that clings to me, the cause of the noise is fluttering. I shook my hand and left. I have no time to keep it.

However, this place cannot be settled, and Sid who shouts “She is still a fiancé!” What a shocking … “I was forced to deal with Irene. Robinson is just trying to calm them down.

It was a noisy afternoon act.

◇

More than half of the members live in the corps scattered on the grounds of the Knights Headquarters.

In principle, it is a cramped condition that six people have one room for several years after joining the group, but depending on the length of service and job title, it is gradually treated as one room for three people or one room for two people. Will change.

On the other hand, those who have a family live in their own house, and even if they are single, they can leave the corps if they meet the set standards. What is absolute is that you must live in a group in the corps for four years after joining the group.

That’s why if you also become the Deputy Chief of the Knights, you will be given a perfect private room. To be precise, in addition to the living space, a dedicated office with a study and a drawing room will be given.

It’s something that Vincent would have left behind, but I’m really grateful for the space where I don’t have to worry about the eyes and ears around me.

That’s why, when Cody, an old friend of mine, steps in here, his usual loose attitude gets worse. This is because there is no need to worry about each other’s positions.

Even now, three people in the drawing room lie on their backs on the sofa and occupy it. I stood my knees, crossed my legs, and while using my left arm as a pillow, I was dexterously turning the documents I had in my right hand with one hand while reading.

“Hmm, I haven’t volunteered for a subjugation expedition for about three years.” Contains all the information about. Although it is still limited to information obtained from the outside.

I knew about Erica because a previous survey mentioned that he was a fiancee with a photo. That was also one of the information about Harold that Vincent had collected.

Cody looks through while she is flowing, and when she gets up, she asks Vincent, who gave it to her, what she really meant.

“Well, what should I do to read this?”

“Harold will be your squad soon.”

“Hey, Harold hasn’t joined the team for a month yet? Usually after clearing the basic training course.”

“I decided it wasn’t necessary. I’d like him to take the final exam of the basic training course, but he would pass without any problems.”

“That’s right. It’s unusual, though.”

“Harold is excellent. You should be educated. In the first place, I joined the team at the youngest age of 13 years old, so I’m still catching my eyes. “

It stands out. More than now. “

” That’s why I want you to be his windbreaker. “

For a while, the two of us The lines of sight intersect.

But that didn’t last long, and Cody, who turned his eyes away first, exhaled a long breath.

“I understand what you mean-the ostensible reason is”

“… my thoughts are outlook That’s why. “

” It’s not that far, but isn’t it necessary to do that? “

Saying that Throw the right hand document onto the desk.

Cody’s argument is plausible. And Vincent had no intention of hiding his scheme from him from the beginning.

So far, we have only had a formal conversation, and the main subject is from here.

“Hey Cody, what did you think of Harold’s fight in the enrollment exam?”

“… Needless to say It feels like “I can’t do it.” It’s unexpected that you can make such optimized movements as a countermeasure against the Knights. “

Apparently he has the same question as Vincent. Seems to have come up with.

The movement that Harold showed was mysterious.

“I agree. I need to find out where I learned how to fight.”

“But Harold It’s a nobleman who has a history? It’s also a rare pureblood of Gatchigachi. “

See through Vincent’s heart, which is worried about the connection between this country and the hostile organization. , Cody shows a gesture to calm down.

“The result may be the murder of a servant’s family.” I was injured, can’t I just say it? “

” It’s also an immediate enlistment to identify it. His identity and humanity must be confirmed. This is a job that only you can ask. “

” In short, it’s a watchman. I’m wondering if I need to do that. “

“I can’t believe it shortly because it’s an aristocrat. I should have known it 10 years ago from Nohaiku’s secession.”

“…

Vincent’s words forced Cody to shut up. The betrayal of Kalem Noheik, who was even called the king’s confidant, which I don’t want to remember.

Kalem, who was also the owner of the historic Nohaik family, leaked confidential information and received a large donation from the cohesive Chamber of Commerce. It is not enough to use the fingers of both hands to raise the charge.

And that included the leak of information about the Knights of the Holy King.

The imprisoned Kalem committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall many times without making a statement about the incident. It only punishes the resulting Chamber of Commerce, and it is still unclear where and how much sensitive information has been leaked.

The betrayal and death of Kalem, who was trusted by his colleagues and the people, including the King, had a greater impact than the damage suffered by the country.

“And I don’t think the incident is over. The negative legacy he left behind, the human who would have been accomplices with Noheik at the time, is still the center of the country. Hiding in “

” … Is there something you’re grasping that much? Still, they’re behind Harold. It may be. “

” Or there is a line of a third party who got the information leaked by Nohaiku, but in any case it is a story that is beyond speculation. I think it’s bad for you and Harold, but still– “

” I understand. Let’s do it. “

The words I have to doubt him were overwritten by Cody.

“… I’m sorry”

“Why do you apologize here? It’s too much for you. “

” Because the man who was always next to me was always lazy. Maybe he’s taken seriously. From now on. But it would be helpful if you could change your mind a little. “

” Oh, my ears hurt. Shrug up and get out of the drawing room.

Vincent uttered a thank-you note, knowing that he couldn’t reach his old friend’s back, laying his old friend’s back on the door that slammed and closed.

Just one word. “Thank you and.
