67 Training of escort knights.

* This is the escort knight Claus perspective.

"Ah"

The rattan basket falls along with the girl's voice.

Plain white sheets were scattered in the hallway.

"Sorry, too"

Due to nervousness or shame? The young maid who has stiffened her face apologizes with a thin voice. He tried to fold the spread sheets in a hurry, but his hand shook and dropped it again.

Pick up the basket that has rolled to your feet and place it next to the maid. He reached out to her and raised her eyes wide open.

"Well, that ..."

"Stand up, get dirty"

Hold the hand of the hesitating maid a little forcibly and let her stand up.

He released his hand from the hardened maid and collected laundry. Tap lightly to remove dirt and return to basket.

"here you go"

Hand the basket to the maid as if pressing.

"Oh, yes ... thank you, thank you."

The maid received the basket while being puzzled.

Looks up with eyes like a scared small animal, and smiles involuntarily.

"Thank you. Be careful not to get injured."

"Well !! I'm sorry!"

The face of the maid was instantly dyed red, almost like a pop. The headmaid vigorously bows down and the maid returns. Looking at the back, leaving behind in a hurry that I could not imagine as a good child, I scratched my cheek.

What exactly is it? I ’m a monster.

"Yo, color man"

If you stand with a slim look, you can call out from behind.

Looking back, Dennis, a knight guard of the same period, stood.

"If you don't want to, don't confuse a new girl.

"Don't say bad things, you just picked up the laundry."

"I just picked it up. I think it's unusual for you to do that."

They are ridiculed, and wrinkles between eyebrows.

But I couldn't refute. Normally, I would have passed by at a glance.

Why did you do that? The reason is simple.

"Why are you in such a mood?"

As Dennis says, I was very happy. More specifically, it was floating.

"Separately"

"Don't lie. You're always adorable, so the young maids are standing up. And the boss who hates you is finally terrified because you're crazy."

It sounds amazing, but it's hard to argue just because I'm aware.

It was usual to be disgusted when I passed my boss, but I made a mistake. If a man who usually speaks silently with cold eyes returns with a full smile and saying, "I'll do my best," it would be no use to doubt my sanity.

"What really happened. Did you be praised by your important master?"

"No. If that is not the case,"

"Ah.

Dennis shrugged with a large gesture.

I feel frustrated by the ridiculous laughter.

"If you don't need it, I'll go."

He walks around with abandonment, but there is no voice to stop.

"It's good to float, but it doesn't bother your husband too much."

An extended voice without tension was heard from behind, but did not turn around.

I thought it was out of my mind.

I'm sure he's floating, but I'm not going to be nervous. Does Rosemary accumulate and trouble?

I did my job indifferently, indignantly, without showing my face.

If you notice, time is over, night.

After finishing some of the work for the time being, I went to another place without returning to my room.

Lights illuminate at equal intervals, pass through the bright castle at night, and aim for a training area on the outside.

It's gradually becoming less popular, and distant nocturnal birds sing. The soft breeze blew and the guard bonfire popped off.

Jari, a pebble stomping on the sole of the shoe sounds.

In the training area we arrived, the hustle and bustle of the day was quiet as if it were a lie. In the darkness, my shadow illuminated by the bonfire behind me extends for a long time.

"I came?"

The low voice muttered briefly.

The tall shadow leaning against the wall moves. At the same time, the area was lightly lit. The clouds were clear and the hidden moon appeared.

It's a dazzling light to the eyes that are getting used to darkness.

Open your eyes slowly and slowly

A black shadow stands behind the blue moon.

Pazaa, the passing wind, shakes the hem of the uniform and the black hair of the man. The outline emerged under the moonlight, and the eyes reflecting the darkness captured me.

"..."

I can't see her expression. However, he inhales as if by a sword in his throat. With one glance, it is pressured.

“… What ’s your duty?

Hide upset and open mouth.

Then the man ... Leonhard von Orcein utters something silently.

"!"

Draw a parabola and catch the falling object with your left hand. It was a training sword with a crushed blade.

"No way, I was called ..."

"As you can see, it's training. I'll do it every day until the day before I leave."

"Hah !? I haven't heard it!"

Although he bites at once, the leader has no ears to listen and takes off his jacket.

"Even if you look like this, you're busy."

"It's strange, and I am."

While turning his shoulders, the chief of the chair replied easily.

Surely, the amount of work between me and the leader is different. Despite plenty of work to be brought forward, it's still a good enemy for job titles.

Pagu, and his mouth shuts down.

"If that's all you need to say, get ready."

There is something else to say. However, the leader is the person who will do it if he says. Realizing that there was no point in rebutting, I reluctantly put my finger on the collar of the uniform.

"Why so suddenly ..."

Spills grumble and bitches.

Then the answer came back to the words I intended to talk about.

"I've been looking at you these days recently and thought about it today."

"!"

The shoulder shook unexpectedly.

During the day, the words spoken in the same period pass through my mind.

"The reaction seems to be conscious."

“…………”

"I'll consider silence by all means."

"... Isn't that bothering you?"

"I'm saying because I'm likely to call him. I can't afford to leave that Highness to such a floating man."

"It's ...!?"

There was a sound of cutting air.

A sword is pierced into my throat at a speed not to be noticed by my eyes. Same as a blade that emits a dull color ... No, my eyes were even sharper and looked down at me.

The eyes, whose eyes are narrow, play the moonlight like a beast in the dark.

The murderous stomach was hit from the front, and cold sweat ran down the spine.

Despite the sword that has no killing ability, it is hard to breathe. She is bitten by a single movement.

"Raven Black Lion", once feared on the battlefield, was in front of you.

"The princess is a treasure in this country. It is a gem that must never be lost. It's not a joke to leave a man who can't even read such a dull sword movement."

I'm not sure when it's moved, but it's a bit dull to say nothing!

I heard the words being dumped, and I was appalled.

However, if you look at it, the leader holding the sword is the opposite of the dominant hand. I was amazed by the exclamation that such a movement could be performed with my left hand.

"Prevent me from attacking my dominant hand."

The leader pulls the sword and turns it down.

At the same time, the feeling of intimidation disappeared, and I exhaled with the momentum that all the contents of the lungs were released. The heart beats fast enough to be harsh.

"If you don't think it's possible, say it early. Look over another person."

"No!"

He disturbed his breath, but immediately denied it.

It's not a joke to give someone the role of protecting Rosemary!

"It's the role I got. I won't give it to anyone."

Put your strength on the belly. He looked at him as if to challenge him, but his leader's expression did not collapse even with a slight lack of expression.

"Don't overdo it. There are other qualified people."

"... I'll show you that word."

I smile with a ferocious smile on the inaudible words that are spitted out.

I know I've been in an easy-to-understand provocation, but I can't say that I'm told so far and I can't withdraw.

Looking at me holding the sword, the leader lifted his grin and grin.

"Try it"

Excessive irritation is added to the relaxed attitude.

I let my knees down once, and I dumped in my chest, saying that I would make it a departure for my journey.
