Chapter 212: Company with Knights

After several seconds the young knights who were kneeling were finally able to stand up after Daichi and the rest moved away.

「Ku……L-lord Daichi’s power was i-incredible.」

「Y-yeah…..I never thought my legs were so weak to pressure.」

The young knights spoke amongst each other while the Senior Knights clapped their hands and called out.

「Okay men, cooldown time is over. First, those still unable to rise should go to the medical area!」

Hearing the order, the knights who were still resting started to move.

They brought those who were still too unsteady to the medical team.

Seeing that the Senior Knight glanced at the rest.

「Now those who fell down before Daichi-sama come with me and dash 100 times on the beach! If you’re not even able to stand up in front of him it won’t be funny!」

At those words the younger knights let out sighs.

It was true…they would certainly have to meet him again at some point.

They couldn’t just collapse every time they saw him.

「You felt that incredible power? That’s the kind of power we should aim for. It’s a good thing this happened early. Now you understand your own weakness. Now let’s continue with the training camp!」

The Senior Knight continued to lecture.

「Listen up men! You can enjoy this camp if you wish….in fact it’s best if you enjoy yourselves! However, more than that you should treat this place as an opportunity to polish your strength and stamina! Understand this clearly!」

「Ossu!」

「Good. Then start dashing!」

The young knights and senior knights came together and started dashing along the sandy beach.

「Aiming for that man…huh? What a difficult goal.」

「Yeah, but still it’s worth making an effort.」

「No doubt…..ok then let’s do it!」

And so after a few minutes the sandy beach was left with footprints and traces of their efforts.

While chatting lightly with the Knight Captain I accepted some alcohol and snacks.

「This is the specialty alcohol of the Knight Corps and these are our snacks.」

「Oh, thank you.」

It was just this time as well I was given a big box of stuff.

The box was labeled with 「Prussian Knights Brewery」. It almost seemed like some cloistered distillery off in the mountains.

「Yes. Each year we’re supplemented with more from the Distillery division. Please take some.」

He said offering me some. It eventually turned into me accepting a box of it.

I was glad there was so much though so it was fine.

「Daichi-dono should we teleport back to drop this off? We can’t go around the beach carrying it.」

「Ah, no it’s fine we don’t need to. I’ll have the golem take it……—stand up Sand Golem—」

Using part of the beach I created a Sand Golem.

Combining it with some shoulder straps for carrying things along with the box and…..

「Ok then Sand Golem. I’ll leave the transport to you.」

I ordered and the Sand golem started gliding across the sand towards the cottages.

「I-it’s really moving quick…」

「Yeah they’re the fastest on top of sand.」

The sand golem was already disappearing into the distance.

That just demonstrated how quickly it could move.

It was really useful for transport over sand.

I haven’t tested it on ground or in the forest…but it could move smoothly here at least.

My variation increased.

「Anyways, we can go now right?」

「Y-yeah thanks. Then wait a moment. I’ll calculate our teleport.」

Dianeia said and walked a short distance before closing her eyes.

A few seconds later…

「Daichi-sama…we’ve troubled you but I leave the Princess in your care today.」

The Knight Captain said, bowing as he saw us off.

「Of course. But this time she’ll be taking care of me.」

「No no…Princess seems to really enjoy the time she spends with you….even if you’re only friends right now it’s a wonderful thing. If it’s you Daichi-sama, then I can be at ease.」

The Knight Captain said glancing at Dianeia gently then looking me in the eye.

「…like a father huh? You’re speaking just like her guardian.」

「Haha it’s as you say. I’ve cared for the Princess since she was a child so it ended up like that.」

「Somehow…..you have a wonderful relationship…you and the Princess I mean.」

We exchanged a small smile and…

「Daichi-dono~ We’re ready to head off~~!」

Dianeia called out waving her hand energetically.

「…..certainly she looks like she’s having fun.」

「Right? Anyways, Please treat her well.」

「Ou, roger.」

I responded lightly and headed over to Dianeia.
