41 Chapter 2-14 Greeting Around, From...

The next time I woke up, it was long past noon. When I went down to the ground floor feeling some care, Lily and the others had already woken up and surrounded the table.

"Good morning guys...... is Mr. Flute off today"

I say hello, but I don't get a response back. wondering, tapping Millie's shoulder, which was closest,

"Phew!... It hurt."

And he was screaming and holding his head down. Looking at the other three,

"My head is pounding."

"I'm sorry."

"It hurts - it's hard."

"I drank too much ~. Ah, Tenma, oh, my goodness ~... uhh"

... all four of them were stunningly hungover. I removed four specialty state medications from my bag instead of getting drunk and gave them to four people to drink.

After taking the healing pills and applying the healing magic, the symptoms seem to have become quite milder,

"Uncle, change!

"I'd like a change too!

"I'm in a lot!

No, let's correct it. He seemed to have completely healed and was eating porridge for his uncle's special sick (hangover).

"... I just need soup"

Mr. Flute didn't seem to have an appetite for boulders and was only drinking soup.

"So, Mr. Flute. Are you okay with your work today?

"Yes, I took the day off just in case. … By now, the guild leader will be working in his place"

I just took a break, and it hasn't changed much, and I think I've been pushing on the guild leader.

"Really? I'm going out."

The moment I said that,

"" "Tenma, you're leaving already!

Three people with porridge on their cheeks reacted tremendously.

"No, I'm not. I thought I'd say hello to some of the people who took care of me."

That's why, when I explained, I said okay, go, and I went back to the porridge.

When I went outside, I made my way to Knights headquarters first. When the name of Primera was given at the reception desk at the headquarters, she said that she was conducting a tour in the city now, so she told her requirements and said she would come back later, so she went to the next place.

Next he headed to the headquarters of Gunjo City Council and had Mr. Marx called at the reception.

Mr. Marx seemed just unavailable, and he came immediately, and when he looked at me, he lowered his head.

"Serna took care of that verse. By the way, what business are you on today?

"Yeah, actually, I decided to leave this city soon, so I thought I'd say hi."

With that said, Mr. Marx gave a surprised look, keeping his voice down,

"Again, is it caused by yesterday's duel?

And I've heard,

"But I was on a journey, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to start my journey again."

"Really... Actually, there was my house near here, and there's Serna. I'll call you, can you wait a minute?

When I accepted, Mr. Marx left the reception room on a small run.

I came back in about ten minutes, but Mr. Marx couldn't seem to speak out, feeling like he was breathing constantly. Mr. Serna, on the other hand, was starting to catch his breath in about a minute or two, although he had let it out initially.

"It's been a while, Mr. Serna. Are you in good health?

Mr. Serna, who has been caught by the bandits until a short while ago and should have lost quite a bit of strength, doesn't look anything like he saw it.

"Yes, Mr. Tenma. Thank you for all your help with that verse. Tenma gave me a healing pill that works better and my body feels better than before."

And he was grinning. But suddenly it turned into a serious look,

"Mr. Tenma, will you take me on a journey, too? I want something to give back!

When I heard that word, I...

"No. You can't take Mr. Serna."

I said no clearly. To Mr. Serna's words, Mr. Marx looked rather surprised, and to my words, he gave a reassuring look.

"Why? Can you tell me why?"

"The reason is because it's a foothold. And you can't take someone without firm determination on a journey where their life is in danger."

And look at both Mr. Serna and Mr. Marx.

"If something happens to Mr. Serna, I'm not prepared to take responsibility."

In my words, Mr. Serna,

"... have you been shaken, I'm sorry"

It doesn't sound too unfortunate, but it's a tough way to put it, and I'm not sure I'm sorry.

"Where does Tenma plan to go from here?

Mr. Marx came into the conversation...... to be honest, I forgot I was there.

"I'm going for some dungeon. I don't know what's gonna happen along the way."

"Really? It's a long way from the dungeon."

"But if you were Mr. Tenma, wouldn't it be early if you flew all the way to the dungeon?

Mr. Serna is the best. But...

"Hey, Serna. Then it won't be funny. There's no first romance!

I almost nodded. Sure, Mr. Marx has a point.

"Mr. Marx. I know what you're trying to say, but that's not why."

Deny Mr. Marx's words once and for all,

"Mr. Serna, this journey is like my training. So we're going to take a carriage so that we can have a lot of experience."

As a man, I agree with Mr. Marx, but this one is the bigger reason for the trip. Well, I can't say I have a hobby.

"Really... I thought the only purpose was to go to the dungeon."

"Well, that's why I'm going around saying hello to people I know."

From then on, it thrived with stories that were not even deflective. In relation to Mr. Marx's work, we only had about an hour, but it was a good time.

At that time, I asked Serna about the other women, but they all seem to be on their way to recovery... but the wounds and strength of their bodies are recovering, but they haven't gotten any better until the wounds of their hearts, and when they see men or come near them, some cry and panic with fear.

Those have to wait for time to heal, Ms. Serna said.

After that, I decided to visit the Knights headquarters again and broke up with Serna and the others in front of the council.

Mr. Serna seemed to be going to drop me off until I was blind, and I was somewhat ashamed because I had eyes every time I looked back.

When she came to headquarters, the receptionist was the same as earlier, and she had already spoken to Primera, who showed her straight to Primera.

"Hello, Mr. Tenma. I heard from the receptionist that you set the date of departure?

As soon as they let me through the room, Primera asked.

"Yeah, I thought I'd go on a journey in a couple of days, so I came to say hi"

"Was I? It's a quick decision."

Primera was in yesterday's discussion with the Duke, so I'm not surprised I'm leaving this city, but I guess you just didn't expect me to leave in a couple of days, I seem surprised at the speed.

"Is the Duke not here?

"Oh, your father would have gone home within yesterday. Everything seems to be in order to move Legil to the King's Capital immediately."

A much lighter duke. It's usually natural, but I hear you act fast when you have to.

"Really? Now tell the Duke I say hello when you get the chance"

"Yes, I accept"

I've been talking about it since then without a scratch.

"Primera, I'm gonna interrupt a little!

That said, the Knights' General Captain and the three captains came in.

"What's wrong, Captain General? And all of you."

Alan, the captain in chief, in that word,

"What's the matter and these things, Tenma's leaving this city, so you're here to say hello!

"That's right, Primera. He contributed greatly to policing the area around the city. I suppose it's only natural to come and say hello."

That's what Santos said, followed by Aida,

Instead, I feel like you're not letting us know about it.

That said, Aida stares at Primera with a sharp eye.

"Fair enough, calm down. You knew the primer was missing."

Simon also made it look like he was going to follow up on Primera, and actually had a mouth shot (...).

"Ahhh! I'm sorry. I forgot!

What you don't need there would be primera proof. The men are laughing, but Aida messed with weapons and protective gear.

"Oh, that's what we talked about. That's why we're here to see Tenma's face."

To distract Aida, or Alan put the story back together.

"I apologize for taking the time. I would have to ask..."

"You don't have to use respectful language. Unlike the Knights of the King's Capital, this is not an elegant place. Besides, I came here for a favor."

Alan blocked my words and cut out the favor and the doings.

Alan's favor was, in short, a match. Except it's an anomaly match between five captains each against one of me.

The rendezvous was to take place at the training ground.

But from the results, it was my overwhelming victory. Whatever, all five of them didn't look like they were seriously coming to win, besides the fact that their weapons were swords and their collaboration was awkward.

"Next, ask for a one-on-one match format"

With that said, Alan sets the order of the five.

At first it was Aida. From what she's seen, she looks like a speed focused swordsman type with a lot of trouble.

"Well, nice to meet you"

Using that word as a signal, Aida sticks straight in with a slender sword in her hands. For the sake of restraint, when I stuck out the knife (simulated knife), he tried to take my back while recirculating the protruding knife, but my kick hit my torso and it took the form of being pushed back to my front.

It was Aida crossing her sword into a defensive position,

"It's late!"

One of my swings was released to cut Aida's right sword up from the bottom, causing Aida's sword to dance in the sky.

The shock seemed to numb Aida's hand and she lost without being able to outdo my blow with one hand.

"All right! It's my turn!

The second Santos was wielding a large sword like Claymore with one hand.

The method of attack is also a threat if you hit it with a style of combat that feels like approaching and beating it off, but there's nothing to do if you don't hit it.

When I jumped into my nostalgia, Santos' empty left hand held a sword like a bamboo at some point.

Perhaps Claymore was a monster, and this sword was his destiny. But I don't care if I see it, I step in further,

"Huh!

While suppressing Santos' left hand, he slammed a thrust (like) into Santos' abdomen with my left hand.

"Ugh!

With that voice, Santos knelt down to the ground and surrendered.

The third Simon... somehow didn't go well with me. Simon's attack style is dominated by fencing-like penetration, and besides overwhelming the opponent with manipulation, he can cleverly change his weapon and style to match the opponent, but when I am the opponent, the attack is light in terms of poking and being spotted, so it becomes so-called instrumental poverty, so he wins lightly with a positive attack method.

In the fourth came Alan.

"That's just as strong... there wasn't a better user in Wang Du either. Who's the master?

"From my father and grandfather (including Merlin and previous life), who are closest to us now."

I couldn't afford to use my salutation. Obviously, Alan's strength will be the strongest of all the people I've ever met.

"Let's go!

The moment I think I'm in the mood, the signs disappear from Alan. I would intend to keep the signs as low as possible precisely to make the attack less intelligible. I took the lead and started poking, but I got started easily.

All in return, Alan's sharp poke hit me. From then on, it was a reward for sword strikes, but they lacked each other's decision fights. To reorder, where Alan flew behind me, I thrust and let go of the poke as I wanted. Alan tried to deflect this,

"Sweet!"

It rolls out a so-called flat poke (...) that releases a sword in the direction Alan flattens.

Alan just seemed surprised by this, but he prevented it without difficulty. However, because only a surprising portion of the gap was created,

"That's my win."

I got a blade stuck in my neck with a knife to give back.

"Mindless."

So whining, shaking hands with me, the captains welcoming it with applause,

"Um, I'm not done yet..."

Primera raised her hand softly and shrugged.

"" "" "Oh, I forgot!

He was a primera who was depressed by everyone's words and held his knees.

I managed to get him back on his feet and played the game, but it turned out he could fight quite a bit unexpectedly.

However, the foundation is adequate but I don't seem to like the application and when I put in a little feint it caught on as interesting.

"Don't play!

Throughout the game, I've been screaming many times, but I think this is worse to catch.

Ultimately, he had lost casually, but I think he fought pretty well since he was able to be a feint.

"Tenma. I'm sorry to keep going, but can you do some archery on the other guys? Whatever, no harm done."

That being said, Alan brought in a few of the superiors of each squad.

"Exactly. Each and every one of them is a hassle, so can I deal with them at the top?

"I don't mind. Just for the record, losing to a 15-year-old boy with all the captains is disgraceful. So I want to make a few accomplices with the same eyes on the guys down there."

And I've been hearing thoughts that aren't even busy.

"Then shouldn't we have done it from the beginning?

That's what I hear.

"It's a good opportunity to fight with someone other than the Knights for real, but isn't that a waste!

That's what I've been saying with my chest up.

"Okay, but... sorry if I let you lose confidence"

That's what I said and turned to the knights,

"Call them all!

And provoked. The result... was my win in about ten minutes. The knights had been packing between them by trying to surround me with a total of twenty men each from each squad, but they couldn't work together because of the five (4th squad) who came in without thought, and they were destroyed one after the other.

Everyone looked bitter when they returned to the captains, but Primera seemed uncomfortable at first sight.

"Fundamentally, we need to review the training... especially Squad Four"

When Alan squeals like that,

"... Yes, I'm sorry..."

Primera replied yes with a voice that seemed to disappear. Starting the next day, intense special training for Squad IV, including Alan supervised Primera, was to begin.

After these last few years, the fourth unit, known as the Falling Out, became known as the best unit of the Knights of Gunjo City... I wish.

You noticed such an idiotic thought of me, Primera was looking at me with resentful eyes.

"Well, it's time for you to spare me"

I tried to escape Primera's gaze and left the Knights behind.

Then I stopped by the guild, but as usual the guild leader was absent, so I decided to go home to the inn.

There was still Mr. Flute in the dining room at the full pavilion, and he was in some kind of a rush.

"I'm just... what's up, Mr. Flute? So hasty."

"Ah, Mr. Tenma. As a matter of fact, Lily and the others..."

Hurry to the room where Lily and the others are in that word,

"Wow, that's disgusting."

"Ugh, I think I'm gonna throw up"

"The contents are coming out."

The three of them were lying down with their stomachs swollen.

"............... What is this?

Asking Mr. Flute as he pointed to the three of them,

"It's the result of yakitori. In order to clear up the worries that Tenma can't keep up with, Tenma has been out drinking and eating since then until just now..."

Worried and lost. I mean, how many hours have I been eating, these three?

"Ah, Tenma."

"I feel so bad ~"

"Give me some medicine."

"Go to the bathroom and throw up! That's the best pill ever!

Slowly to that word...... really slowly like a tortoise (although I feel the tortoise is faster) the three of us headed to the bathroom.

I wanted to not think about what happened after that, but just after dinner there was a noise in the busy dining room that needed three peas. Some of the customers who were there left without ordering.
