19 3. Istas, Bob. Valtrude's work.

The work of Valtrude, the head of the Count of Istas, is mostly outside the castle fortress where it is based.

After studying to acquire letters and cultivation as an aristocrat, he mostly travels to the Temple of Hellenonia, which is under construction.

"Much, much better."

"Thanks to you!

"I haven't done anything but it's a good thing"

As usual, Valtrude steps into the planned site of the Hellenonian temple in Falve while giving a retarded response to Alaina North Tin, who picked her up.

Even in nominal terms, the head of this temple is supposed to be Valtrude. The person responsible seems to have a problem with this statement, but it's not a problem because nobody thinks it's a problem.

Despite the fact that the Temple of Truss-Sink in Alusia is already complete, this one is under construction for a simple reason.

It's a different size in the first place.

No poor temple can be established in the land ruled by the hero Valtrude and bestowed by miracle by the Hellenonian God himself. In addition to that, the Temple of Helenonia originally also has a side as a military facility.

As a result, the situation is likely to take years to come.

Yut allowed it.

Instead, a minute temple will be set up in all parts of the city of Falve, provided that it falls into the maintenance of law and order.

"There's a system called alternation in my hometown. I think it would be quite useful to get some local policing and a little consultation, so let's give it a try."

I think he said something like this.

I wasn't sure, but the result seems to be a good reputation from residents, and Valtrude is proud of it.

"So, is it still good with the usual archery today"

"Ha! Regards!

Through the corner where the construction continues, looking at the proper spine of Alaina North Tin, she turns her feet to where she is supposed to be in the temple courtyard in the future.

These appearances and attitudes from earlier. Besides, when you think about being the same blonde, you can well see that Yut described her as a "mass-produced Valtrude".

Most importantly, it would be incomprehensible, apart from Yut, that "mass production type" contains the meaning of "degradation".

"Looks like you made me wait."

As Valtrude stepped into the courtyard, several diocesan knights (paladins) were already waiting fully armed.

Metal large shield in blunt chainmail.

The weapons were each, with some using long swords preferred by the Hellenonian God, and some diocesan knights equipped with mace.

On the other hand, on this occasion, Valtrude is also hesitant to say lightweight.

Horse leather trousers in a grassy tunic have no defenses to hope for, nor have they brought in the usual exorcism (Divine) Divine Sword (Subjugator).

"Please, sir."

"Oh, I'm sorry"

Only a training sword with a crushed blade and a wooden large shield were received from Allena.

Obviously inferior gear, but nobody cares.

Come on, let's get started.

Unfabricated, Valtrude moves to the center.

At the same time, the diocesan knights who move to surround it.

"It's a start!

One of the diocesan knights proceeded to Valtrude with the signal of Alaina Norstin.

Push the shield forward and wield the long sword.

That intimidation will overwhelm you, even if you are not one with an evil phase.

"Ha-ha-ha."

"Tighter sides, swing it down compactly"

But Valtrude dares avoid a long sword blow with a single piece of paper without even using a shield. Even if a steel blade passes in front of you, you won't change one complexion.

"This is what happens because it's a big swing"

Valtrude kicks out to the chest of a slightly out of balance diocesan knight.

There will be little damage.

But it was enough to push me out a few steps and ground me on my back.

If it's a battlefield, a deadly gap.

"Stand up"

But this is training.

Valtrude gave the Cathedral Knight time without pursuing him. In doing so, they encourage reflection and countermeasures.

"... have you understood"

As the first diocesan knight rises, so does the surrounding diocesan knight narrow the siege.

Until now, we have not taken advantage of it, albeit with a number of advantages. There was an air of wanting to give heroes an arm test.

That makes a difference.

There is certainly a part of Hellenonian teaching that is close to chivalry.

Give in to God, help weakness, protect nations and communities, pierce truth, and do justice.

But for that reason, I don't see the multi-to-one battle as a disgrace.

Always exposed to the struggle against those with evil ministers, they were also quick to consolidate their readiness.

Around here, the mentality is close to that of a warlord who unleashed the quote "This is the game," which brought him to his subordinate equipped with a fire rope gun, against an opponent who assumed he had signed up for a one-on-one match.

"Whoa, whoa!

A man of good stature among the living cathedral knights advances to Valtrude.

Running, throwing mace and shields at Valtrude.

Valtrude takes the mace with a shield and cuts off the shield.

In that gap, the man takes her arm and tries to pull it down.

"The idea is good"

Valtrude, too, threw away his sword.

And when I pulled my arm out of my body with a force I couldn't imagine from a good body when I said luxury, I took the opposite joint and twisted it up.

"But the Giant is more powerful than the former, even the Auga and the Hobgoblins, compared to humans. Always, it's unexpected to come through, like this"

Other diocesan knights strike while the man tightens up Valtrude.

The calculation crumbled lightly.

Says Valtrude, who freed the man and picked up the sword.

"Next, a coordinated attack. All will be judged and slaughtered in peace."

Should I say amazing or natural?

On this day, no one was struck by a single machete in Valtrude.

Thus, Valtrude, who had completed the training being conducted in rotation by a few, and tried to return to the castle fortress, speaks out to Alaina North Tin, who thought she would come to drop him off.

"Tomorrow, I can't go along with the training. We have to go to Wang Du."

"Copy that!

Valtrude hadn't heard from Aleina Norstin, who was cheerful.

Unlike this one, tomorrow in action.

Failure is an unforgivable battle.

"All right, let's do it"

Rotosilt kingdom, Sejour, king's capital.

A registration interview with the Count of Istas, which takes place on the rental of a room in the Royal Palace. The exam is exempt because of the talent collected using connections, although not too much.

Instead, it is quite shaken off at the paperwork selection stage.

In other words, there are only those who competently reach the point. Today, an interview takes place in the original sense of just seeing the character.

This is her battlefield.

Valtrude, entrusted by Yut, puts his mood to the beauty and turns a blind eye to the material at hand.

"First, at first…"

And I noticed some serious facts.

(umm. I can't read it)

Valtrude calmly acknowledged the reality and returned the documents to the desk.

The literacy rate of adventurers is surprisingly high compared to the general public. As a result, we sometimes forget the fact that Valtrude cannot read the letters.

Like now.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that I cut it off when I could do it by myself, this is very nice.

What a mess to make before it starts.

But I can't help but be in a hurry now. I've gotten over a number of them, including pinches.

"The order of coming is fixed, so there's no obstacle."

Heroes don't move.

Slowly elbow at the desk of the innocent walnut wood and dazzle the door to shrug.

So much less, the first interviewer shows up with Knock.

It's Valtrude Istas.

"My name is Edmund Farner, Sir Valtrude"

Valtrude, who sat face-to-face, first succeeded in knowing the person's name by letting him introduce himself.

Thus, the registration interview began.

"Why did you want to serve the Earl's house, which is nothing but a mountain or a sea like this?

"That's candid. Then I'll tell you the truth about this one, too, because it looks like a good payment. I won't be able to do the three guys in the room forever."

"I see."

Honesty doesn't mean it's good.

to a speech that was rude, but Valtrude just nodded without moving a single eyebrow.

"Um... are you sure?

"What is it?

"No, I don't know what to say myself, but I was wondering if it might be quite a bump..."

"Is it a frank feeling? Then there's nothing wrong with that."

Valtrude is an open and righteous cathedral knight, and that would be self-admission.

At the same time, it was both realistic and authoritarian.

I mean, I don't hit rudeness with this stuff. Rather, I'm glad you're telling the truth.

"Oh. Unless you'd like to say no, but you're in law."

There's no such thing as a pageant.

"Then good."

In the meantime, pass at first.

Round the top of the paperwork at hand. This has nothing to do with reading and writing.

But too candid an applicant seemed unusual.

From now on, it went very smoothly.

"I'll be perfectly clear, but so far, I've only been clearing my affairs by myself. At first, I think it's going to be quite a struggle."

"No problem. It's natural to have a tough job."

"There's no guarantee I'll pay you enough."

"Then you just do the job that makes you want to pay"

Valtrude thinks after the interview.

But that's also for just a few moments.

After a few seconds, draw an "X" on the document with a blade pen.

It's not like anything was wrong.

On the contrary, there was no alternative.

But I don't trust you.

That's it, that's all.

The interview went on at this rate.

There were 12 people interviewed by Valtrude on this day.

Three of them were the ones she made the decision not to hire.

And Yut and Alcia fully supported that decision.

"Are you sure it's a good decision to make just because of my judgment?

Later, Valtrude confirms to Yut and Arsia, but the two concurred with a strange smile.

"As a matter of course, I trust Val's judgment, but if we track down the non-recruiters with" Remote Site "... what do you think happened?

"From the way you put it, it didn't seem like a lot"

"It was with agents of the Verga Empire and other collars."

"Well, I guess Val would."

Arcia praises it with a cool face, but Valtrude has a face that doesn't float.

"Maybe I'll see Yut later at the end of the day..."

"No, because I threw the whole thing at Prince Alsace around there. I mean, it's the other way around that I'm involved."

"... is that true?

"You know what I mean by lying, don't you?

Two staring at each other.

Alcia lurks her breath and goes gunning as something she's not. Make an appeal.

"... if it means I was useful, that's fine"

"Of course, I was right to leave it to the Val child"

"Right. Yeah. Right..."

Looks happy. The look on Valtrude's face that sounds really delightful.

Yut, who has seen it decently, can barely speak of moving.

"Well, is this the limit"

Calm Arcia's voice, too, but it didn't reach the two of us.
