Chapter 85: Knights, Spirits, and documents.Today, I went from school to the Knights Order too. I moved via the teleporting magic circle. Today, I am already wearing the Knights Order’s clothes. When everyone gathered, we were given an explanation of today’s plans. Training in the morning, and divided into certain posts to patrol in the afternoon. I trained normally in the morning and then I got to know at the lunch that Dirk will be participating in the patrolling as well.
I thought I would be making rounds with Dirk, but...
“No, I guess this is your fate.”
“Curtis, you will meet with a bad ending if you don’t speak truthfully.”
“These are the results of Hugh winning the Knight’s dormitory’s poker tournament! I spoke truthfully so please don’t strangle me!”
“Oh my, my, ufufu. Best regards then.”
I will be patrolling together with Curtis, Hugh-san, and Adeil-san. As for why Dirk is not joining us, I know that very well. Dirk is the type that easily expresses himself, so poker must be his weak point. He’s also very honest, so he probably can’t even bring himself to cheat.
Adeil-san is a capture target too. His tone is elder sister-ish, but his personality is manly. He was quite a beloved character. He is a great noble who finds dealing with women that woo him troublesome and looks like Hugh-san’s elder twin brother. It’s on such level I would think they are twins unless told otherwise. In contrast with Hugh-san’s brown hair, his is black with a pink mesh, he wears a proper make-up and his nails are done nicely... I feel outmatched in the feminity department, you know? His nickname was Fake Sissy Knight.
However...
Aldin = Stupid-dono
Alphage = Malicious-sama
Curtis = Sillydog
Elder brother = Easy Ru
Hugh = Playboy Knight
Adeil = Fake Sissy Knight
Jend = Yandere Shota
The nicknames of the capture targets are seriously no good! Especially Jend’s! The variety is good, but there are no decent men, huh! Approximately an hour passed during my administrative thinking.
While I was thinking such, Adeil-san spoke to me.
“Make sure to tell me if Hugh does something to you, okay? I will end him.”
“Thank you very much. I appreciate your consideration. I will certainly consult with you when troubled.”
“Leave it to me. Are you fine with strangulation?”
“Most definitely!”
“Eh? Did I just receive advance notice on my murder?”
As I thought, everything except your tone is manly about you, Adeil-san. Curtis is laughing too much. I replied to Hugh-san that he won’t be ended if he behaves obediently. With the tension untied, we went to make our rounds.
Today’s patrol route was the main shopping district of the outskirts with a relatively good public order.
“Rosarin-chan, Haru-kun came the other day and carried my baggage. This is my thanks, okay?”
“Ou, Rosarin-chan. Sui has fixed my shelves the other day. A gift for you, take it.”
“Ah, it’s Rosarin~ is Kou not with you today? You see, Kou got angry at a bully for me!”
“Rosarin-san, Arisa-chan has cured my illness the other day... thank you.”
My spirits are apparently hard workers. While walking through the shopping district, both of my hands got filled with gifts. Additionally, they got plenty of information too. Once my spirits return, I intend to ask them in detail. Let’s praise them all.
“Err, Rosarin-chan was a lady from the Ducal household... right?”
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you too familiar with them?”
“I am aiming to become the lady of commoners.”
“... I now understand that you are weird.”
Curtis and Hugh-san burst into laughter. Isn’t that just fine, though? I am following the etiquette properly. Storing the gifts into my high-capacity bag, I inquired for more information from the townspeople.
First and foremost. Kidnappings have been apparently happening recently.
“Shall I be the bait?”
“No hesitation whatsoever, huh.”
“Fishing is my specialty.”
With the illusion magic, I changed my human ears into Rabisha-chan’s. Then, I coweringly entered the back alley...
My head was covered with a bag and I was struck with lightning magic. Owow. One would normally faint, but I didn’t because of my earrings’ effect.
There were many girls in a hideout-ish place I was taken to. About fifteen. They were not restricted. Before long, one of them called out to me.
“Are you okay?”
“Yep, thank you for your concern.”
I confirmed the surroundings. Is this an abandoned house? The presences I feel... there are about thirty in total. Just in case, I erected a soundproofing barrier.
“Darkness-sama~”
“Fumu, you called?”
Buoyantly, Darkness-sama appeared. I thought the girls would scream, but they froze in place.
“Please put everyone except the people in this room to sleep.”
“Fumu. Leave it to me. That’s an easy task.”
“Now then, Curtis~”
When I activated the communication tool, I promptly got a reply.
“I’m here~”
“I have secured the kidnapped girls. There are about fifteen girls here, can you get a carriage or something? Borrow one and let’s get back to the Capital. The bandits won’t wake up until the morning.”
“Roger that.”
“Thank you very much, Darkness-sama. Your greatness precedes you.”
“Umu, umu. Something like this is an easy task for me. You may call me again.”
“T, thank you very much.”
“Th, thank you very much for saving us.”
“I, I only did what Rosarin has asked of me. W, well, I shall accept your gratitude.”
Darkness-sama, you were a tsundere? It seems that he was bashful from getting caught in the gratitude of the girls.
I opened the door and walked out. The girls must have made up their resolves as they followed after me. When we left from the building, Curtis, Hugh-san, and Adeil-san were waiting for us.
They skillfully led the girls onto the carriage.
“Now then, Rosarin-chan and I will report to the Knights Order to report. I will have you two stand here on the lookout, Curtis, Hugh.”
“Ah, that’s fine with me.”
“Rosarin!”
“You were quick, Dirk.”
“You can’t do something dangerous as acting as bai- “We already caught them.”
When I tehepero’d, Dirk crumbled down.
“Are you okay?”
“You work too fast!”
Ah, the knights whom Dirk was grouped up with followed after him too, I see. They are exhausted. I’m sorry about that. I relieved their fatigue with recovery magic.
“I have contacted Dirk with the communication magic tool.”
“This thing is truly convenient~ isn’t it?”
“I wonder if it could pass the equipment application.”
While having such a conversation, the diligent knights tied up the bandits.
“Umm, they won’t wake up no matter what we do...”
I explained the situation to the bewildered Mr. Knight.
After that, we joined up with Dirk’s unit and also arrested the slave trader who planned to buy the girls from the bandits.
We returned to the Knights Order, we did a report, finished the protocols, etc... so knights don’t do only the arresting, huh.
I have learned.
Reaching the point where they could take a break, the three knights collapsed on the desks in the room of the Knights Order headquarters.
“I recently don’t even have time to hit on girls... I wanna sleep.”
“I am exhausted~”
“We worked hard, didn’t we...”
“Thank you for your hard work~ here you go, tea and sweets.”
I was able to deal with the documents quickly, so I served tea. The sweets were given to me by the Head Chef of the Knights Order whom I am on good terms with, so they are freshly baked. I cheekily put aside some for Dirk’s unit too.
“””How are you so energetic!”””
“Youth?”
“I’m going to hit you.”
“Owowow! I am sorry for being cheeky!”
I received Adeil-san’s rockhard blow. It was painful...
“Isn’t it because I only get myself captured and then I observe the post process?”
“Rather than that, what the hell is that! Rosarin-chan’s encounter ratio! You normally wouldn’t arrest criminals so easily, okay!”
“Ahaha...”
Rin also has some kind of Revelation. A revelation that makes me feel uncomfortable when I come across troublemakers or something.
“Curtis, Hugh, Adeil. Write up today’s report please.”
My beloved darling has arrived, but this timing might not be good.
“... You write it, Dirk.”
“Hah?”
“Noooo! Even though I thought it already endeeed!!”
Adeil-san has gone mad!? Does he hate documents that much!? Dirk took the documents on the desk in his hands.
“... Did you catch someone after that aga... the bandits’ slave trader!? Eeeeh!?”
“Tehe.”
“Rosarin, you can’t be this rash! Can’t be helped. I will write down the main points, so sign it for me. Rosarin, explain.”
Dirk thought that this was caused by my rashness and decided to help. I might be rash, but these accidents don’t occur because of me. But, rather than troubling Dirk, I can... signing it wouldn’t be possible, but I can at least write the report, no? I saw how it’s done, so it should be all right!
“Can’t I write it myself and have Adeil-san or someone sign it? I witnessed the events myself, wouldn’t it be better for a related party to write the report anyway?
”Can you do it?”
“I am, more or less, the ex-secretary of the Prime Minister.”
“”Wha?””
“Although I was only a temporary help since I was three, I did write all kinds of documents before, so I will be fine.”
“””Whaaaaat!?”””
The three knights were shocked... while being reminded that Curtis also didn’t know where I worked before, I promptly wrote the report. Dirk has kindly explained to me the little details of writing a report. Umu, it turned out well. I handed over the documents to Adeil-san.
“... It’s perfect. You did it better than Curtis and Hugh ever did.”
Adeil-san, you are casually belittling Curtis and Hugh-san, you know?
“I would like to simplify these documents. I will make a draft and make a request to Father.”
“... How?”
“Mainly filling the blanks and circling the crimes. If the crime is missing, make a field to write in the details. A column for the date and time of arrest, and a place for the full name of the one who filled the document...”
It’s a bit rough, but I made a simple draft. This should be fine as a foundation. I handed the draft over to Adeil-san. He swiftly checked it.
“... You are a genius! Well done, Rosarin-chan! I will talk it over with Commander!”
“Eh? I’d like to make it more carefully then... wha, so fast!”
Adeil-san swiftly left the room. Wasn’t he tired?
“You are great, Rosarin-chan.
“I knew you had a good head on your shoulders, but it’s funny how beyond that the truth goes.”
“Hugh-san aside, what do you mean by funny, Curtis! You are making a big mistake if you think that I will forgive you for everything!”
And thus I have begun chasing after Curtis, but Curtis collided with the son of Marquis Roswayde and the two of us got scolded.
Moreover, Adeil-san returned at that time and,
“Rosarin-chan is amazing but disappointing at the same time, huh.”
I was told such. Elevating then dropping someone’s feelings is fundamental, right! I see now.
“Gyahahahahahaha!”
Then, Hugh-san who got revived burst into laughter.
Dirk soothed the son of Marquis Roswayde with a wry smile.
Like this, my second day at the Knights Order has ended.

Author’s notice:
I added this here because I didn’t know where to put it.
In fact, all of Rosarin’s spirits would die without Rosarin’s interference. Incidentally, the script would go like this:
Kou ⇒ subjugated by Dirk
Haru, Sui, Arisa ⇒ Several years later, Haru and Sui would die from magical power deficiency after using the Magchelia to help the weakening Yggdrasil who was reaching its limit to the curse. Magchelia who was used to help Yggdrasil would wither away. Arisa who was born from the Magchelia would wither away together with it.
Actually, Rin did see their graveyards in the Elven Village in game, but because their tombstones said “Nameless heroes rest here” she was not aware of this.
Haku ⇒ Overcome with the curse and died to magical power deficiency. The curse remained and the cursed mushroom would appear again according to the script, but they would appear in a different town, not near the Capital, so that’s why Rin didn’t notice this.
Additionally, the future of these characters was changed:
Jend ⇒ The abused Jend who had a distrust of humans avoided living in a brothel. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
Lumia ⇒ Avoided passing away from overworking herself.
