70 - 71. The Brave Kicks the Sword Devils Who Bring Back the Princess Knight

About a week has passed since I rescued Henrietta, a former holy knight.

In the training room of the school.

Today was the last practical class before the final exam.

"Well then, you guys, go work on it.

The teacher in charge of practical skills points the tip of his sword at his classmates.

"Oh, no ...... [Henrietta-sama], you can't just hit ...... [Henrietta-sama] like that."

Yes, a former holy knight is teaching practical skills.

"I'm your practical and [class teacher] now. Don't hesitate to come to me."

The classmates nod, and then they all attack at once with wooden swords.

Bakiin......!

""""Ohhhhhh!"""

Henrietta looks down at her classmate who has been blown up.

"You still haven't mastered this."

She sheathes her sword in a pretentious pose.

"Wow!　I knew the Holy Knight was different!"

"Strong and cool, nice ......!"

Henrietta runs a hand through her long blonde hair as her classmates look on, "Phew .......

"I'm going to do my best to make you strong. Follow me closely."

""""Yes!"""

Class dismissed.

The classmates gather at ...... with their former holy knight.

"Miss Henrietta!　Would you like to join us for tea afterwards!"

"No, I'm not!　He talks to us!　Let me hear the saga of your days as a holy knight!"

Wow wow ......!　Wow wow ......!

I was watching the scene from a distance.

Since special students are exempted from classes, I basically observe the practical classes.

"Hey, little brother. Why is Henrietta so popular?

"Holy knights were the only ones who could defeat the demons until my brother came along. He's strong and popular."

"Hmmm, well, she's pretty on top of that."

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"What, why are you pinching my side?"

"Hmph!　I'm just so f*cking smitten with that thing!　My brother's an idiot!"

Gaius pulled his brother-in-law, who was asleep, away from him.

Henrietta, on the other hand, looks around at her students.

"I'm sorry to decline your invitation, but I'm afraid I have to decline.

"""What?　What, why?

I have no intention of getting overly involved with you students."

"Well, does that mean you don't like us?"

"That's not true. It is necessary to be strict with students from time to time in order for them to grow. Nostalgia can cloud your eyes and rob you of the opportunity to grow."

Henrietta looks around at her classmates with a serious expression.

"That's why I have to draw a line between you and my students. It's for your own good."

I see."""I see... ...... too bad."""

The students give up, thinking it can't be helped.

"Well, gentlemen. Dismissed."

She straightens her back and leaves them.

"Henrietta, you're so cool!"

Hey!　It's so much better than teachers who come on to students and are weirdly goofy!"

"It's great to feel like an adult who knows what's right and what's wrong!"

Henrietta's ears twitched, and I saw her mouth relax a little.

"I'm going back to class too."

That's when it happened.

"Carlisle. You stay."

Henrietta came up to me with a hard look on her face.

"Julius has been summoned?　What's going on?"

"I'm sure he's going to scold you for skipping every practical."

"It sure sounds like your teacher doesn't tolerate skipping class. I'd be afraid of him if he got angry."

The classmates left the training room, looking at me with sympathy for some reason.

Well...

Henrietta and I are the only ones left behind.

She turns her hard face into a handsome, mumbling ...... ♡.

"Dari～～～～～～～♡!"

Henrietta hugs me from the front with a sweet voice.

"How was it, darling?　Did I do a pretty cool class?"

"Well, I think you did a good job, didn't you?"

"Yaaaahhh ♡ my darling praised me ♡ happiness ～～～～～～～～ ♡"

Henrietta, with a relaxed expression on her face, latches on to me.

"I thought you were supposed to draw the line at students."

"Darling is not a student, isn't he ♡ my cool husband ...... ♡ ♡ ♡ I said ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡"

Now, why is this happening?

Let me tell you about a week ago.

Henrietta was attacked by a demon tribe in her territory.

She was covered in blood, so she said, "Why don't you come to my house and take a bath?" I said.

Then somehow she ended up at my house.

I heard that she had just lost her job and a place to go home, and was at a loss.

I took pity on her, so I let her stay at my house.

By the way, the job was through Mikael, and I suggested to the chairman of the board that he should hire her.

The application was approved surprisingly easily, and she is now working as a teacher at the school.

"What's this darling guy all about?"

"You don't have to explain every single thing to me.

Darling" was not a term that existed 2,000 years ago.

I asked Gaius, who knows a lot about this stuff, and he said, < and pissed off.

Lately he's been in an even worse mood than before.

"I can't let the school know about the forbidden relationship between a student and a teacher. That's why I'm going to be a little tense in front of everyone, but please don't hate me."

"Yeah, well, I don't really dislike you."

"Ehehehehe~~♡ Oh, darling, I like you so much, I like you so much ～～～～～～～～♡"

And then, after a few strokes...

"Henrietta!　There you are!　I've been looking for you!"

An elderly man was standing at the entrance of the training room.

"José, what are you ...... doing here ......?"

Apparently, he knew Henrietta.

The older man comes toward us.

"Your father has ordered me to bring you back after you quit your knighthood. He wants you to return to your country.

"Absolutely not!"

She grabs my arm, squeezing it tightly.

"I'm going to marry my darling!"

"You have a wife. She was worried about you.

"No!　I'm going to marry the prince on the white horse, not the one my father decided on for me!"

"At the age of 30, ...... such childish dreams. ......"

"Twenty-nine is not thirty!"

Looks like there's some kind of a struggle going on.

I thought I had little to do with it.

I'm not leaving anyway!

"...... I see, it's the nobility of the kingdom there that confuses you."

José, an elderly man, turns his shabby fighting aura on me.

"Oh, ...... you do not even change your color when you receive my fighting spirit. You are a master, let me congratulate you.

"Yes, I'm not impressed by such a meager fighting spirit."

Bikk!　A blue streak appears on José's forehead.

"...... I've been in the emperor's service for 40 years. How dare you taunt ...... me, the feared "Sword Demon"?"

"What, 40 years?　Really?"

"Kill ！！！！！！！！"

José runs toward me at a yawningly slow pace.

His fighting spirit is not well developed, and his swordsmanship is amateurish.

The old man swings his sword at me.

Thud. ......!

"What ...... happened ......?"

José falls on his back, stunned.

"What, you just caught the sword with your little finger, twisted your wrist to pull it out, and then did a jujutsu joint move?"

"Ha, I didn't see any of it, it was too fast. ......"

I return the sword I pulled out of him.

"You can pull out your sword all you want, but you can't point a blade at a child, can you?"

"d*mn ......!"

José puts away his sword and leaves.

"I'm out for today!　But that doesn't mean I give up!"
