25-21 Luciel, the street name you don't want to admit is revealed to the Valkyrie Paladin.

We arrived at the cafeteria and took our meals in turn. Then I feel a little uncomfortable, but I say, "Good morning. I've been working a little hard today, so please have a little more than usual. And I'll be fine without a bento box today.

'Oh, good morning, Luciel. Are you okay with eating more than that?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm not sure I'll last until lunch if I don't eat.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one.

You'll be able to find out if it's okay to eat that much. Lucy asked.

'Yes. I was skinny and slender until two years ago, but the master of the Adventurer's Guild told me that eating is the first step to becoming strong, and I still am, but I didn't want to die, so I kept eating, and before I knew it I was like this. I didn't want to die, so I kept eating, and before I knew it, I was like this.

'I have a question, too. Why are you talking to the waiter so intimately? He's not a great guy, is he?

'What? Because you have to be polite to great people, but you wouldn't look down on them just because they're not. And I'm not so great that I have to call you names.

''This is what Lumina-sama was talking about, ignorance,'' the two men said in unison.

It's great to wear it in real life.

You are a deacon and an exorcist.

Yes,

"An exorcist, even a deacon, is no better than a priest, but is given the same authority and pay as the captain of each knightly order.

'Huh. That's why the pay was so high.

'What are you so fluent in? One of these days some people won't find your attitude funny.

''Hmm~. At that time, I'll do my best in the labyrinth and cry to the Pope.

''Huh~'' the two of them sighed grandly.

Well, if it's really going to be a nuisance, we'll be able to make the creator (Pope) happy in the labyrinth (temporarily).

Thus, once I returned to my room and drank the Object X, I bowed to the two people who were waiting for me in front of the area marked off-limits to all concerned, and headed to the training area.

'Then we'll continue with the early morning training. This time, since Luciel-kun will be there, you will be tasked with the task of guarding a key person. We'll decide on a time, and if the attacker hits the key person in time, the attacker wins; if time runs out, the defense wins. Do you have any questions?

"Yes," I raise my hand.

"Let's hear it.

'I don't even think it will hit me, so I won't attack, but can I use my magic?'

Yeah. That's the expected site of our protection. It's a go. Then the ratio of defense to assault will be five to five. I'll be the judge and will continue until we stop. And you'll guard Mr. Luciel like he's an important person.

"Yes.

This is how we moved from the edge of the training ground to a simple field, walking in the center.

In this world of important person guards, the guards don't talk to important people unless they are spoken to by them.

Of course, that is except in an emergency.

This time the defense will be handled by Lucy, Queena, Ripnea who came to pick me up in the morning, and Myra, whose ponytail exudes a dignified atmosphere, and Saran, whose abdominal muscles are bobbing in revealing armor.

We greeted each other for a bit, but Myra is the female version of the samurai who doesn't say much, and although I'm still not sure what she is, I think Saran-san is the maiden type at heart, although she makes old man remarks.

Thus, as we were walking along, guarded by the five of us, the attack began. To be precise, we were attacked. I was shot by an arrow before I knew it.

I was forced to bend down. I didn't know what was going on, but [Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's Breath, I wish you to feed on my magical power and be a shield to protect everything around me, Area Barrier].

The raiders are getting closer as I crouch down.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal computer.

And while one person was left behind to continue defending, "there you go" was called out.

Lumina gathered them together for a review session.

"First of all, congratulations to the defenders. "First of all, congratulations to the defenders, and unfortunately for the attackers, it's a shame. Now, what's to be reviewed this time...

Here's a summary of the reflections and main points that Lumina said.

Reflections of the attackers

Five of the attackers were unable to defeat the three lesser-manned defenders and got hot.

Everyone got in close.

The only time they tried to attack me was at the beginning.

Defenders' Reflections

The fact that the attack did not begin and was not recognized until after the arrows were fired

We need to discuss the safe routes in advance and plan several of them.

Do you have any feedback, Luciel?

'I stuttered when I noticed that the arrows were passing by without a windfall sound. The rest of the time I couldn't tell how many attackers there were or why they were attacking me because I was crouched down?

I see. I'll use that for future reference. So who has an opinion, please raise your hand, Elizabeth?

It's true that the attackers lost this time, just as Lumina-sama said earlier. It's just that the biggest reason for their loss was because they were there.

The other four members of the attackers nodded in the same way.

'I suppose so. You guys who have been assigned to this squad for less than three years usually don't lose more than that. Let me tell you, Luciel, at seventeen years old, you're already a freak with a level V healer.

''Oh no, no matter how talented a healer you are, that's usually impossible,'' said Elizabeth? said, and the defenders nodded, including the defenders.

'I told you. 'He's a weirdo,' Lumina assured her.

'Weirdo, even Lumina-sama has been rude to you for a while now,' I complained.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I heard a report that ten days after registering with the Healer's Guild, he continued to heal for free in exchange for three meals, a place to sleep and combat training at the Adventurer's Guild rather than the Healing Institute, was that false?

"...No, it's true, I just didn't want to die. So?

'You think you're not a freak when you're beaten from morning to night and given a street name and nicknamed Dom Healer, Zombie Healer and Healer Dom Zombie?

I'm sorry. It's just that I've been called that when I've been struggling to live, so I hope you'll forgive me. I dare to get down on my knees.

Well, I've heard that the Doms, while training like zombies in battle, have been healing not only the adventurers but also the inhabitants every day for free, a silver coin to be exact.

''No way,'' a confused voice could be heard from here and there.

''Well, that's why you should consider that Luciel-kun's skill as a healer is already at the level of a veteran before you act.

Thus, not knowing whether they were being disgraced or lifted up, the training for guarding key personnel continued in daylight, with different numbers of guards and offensive personnel.

Okay. That's enough. After lunch, we'll head to the forest for a drill, and then you can gather here again later.

Yes, sir.

Thus, while having a meal with the Holy Knights, I was asked to dig into the roots of my story in Meratni.

Maybe it was noisy, but I finished my lunch while somehow receiving stares (I hope it wasn't jealousy or envy and contempt) from the people around me.

Now, gentlemen, we are going to go around to the forest and the wilderness in the suburbs to exterminate the monsters. Prepare your horses and meet me in the wilderness.

"Yes. ...Yes?'' Only one of them answered with a questioning system, and his gaze was focused on me.

'Is there something you don't understand?

Yes. Or rather, I've never ridden a horse before.

I didn't expect that." That's the look you get when you say, "I didn't expect that. The rest of you have the same look on your faces.

'It can't be helped. Luciel-kun, you can ask the people who manage the stables how to ride a horse and practice. As expected, we're going to the exercise, so there's a lot of eyes out there.

I'm sorry.

No. We hadn't thought of that either. Then you can use this place for your drills. We'll be back here when the exercise is over.

All right. Have a safe trip.

Yeah. Let me show you to the stables. All right, let's move out.

When I arrived at the stables, I was introduced to the head of the stables.

''Luciel, this is Janbus, the man in charge here. Janbus, this is Mr. Luciel, the new exorcist in charge the other day.

'It's nice to meet you, I'm Luciel. I've never ridden or touched a horse before (I haven't had the opportunity to manage the horses along the way, as Bazan and his team have been doing it for me). So please guide me. I'd appreciate it.

"Master Luciel, please raise your head, for this is not so noble. My name is Yambus, and I'm in charge of this place.

'So, Jambus, take care of Mr. Luciel, okay?

Yes, sir.

"Good luck, Luciel.

After saying that, he galloped off astride a horse that was lined up in the front.

''That's great looking. Now then, Yambas-san, please.

Yes.

This is how I got to ride a horse for the first time in my life.
