1196 218. The knight entangles himself.

"Oh, you're tired, Paladin."

"Thank you for your hard work.... please stop calling me that again."

After the exercise, walk through the darkened Knights' Practice Ground.

I was also very used to the teasing from senpai who rubbed against me.When I lowered my head and returned the words, they were laughing like they were used to it.

Some people still make fun of me and call me the Paladin.Besides, I was a knight senpai only for people like that.On the other hand, if you asked me to stop once and call me "junior" or something like that, I'd like you to call me "normal" already.

Tonight, Captain Alan invited me to drink, but this time, it seemed to be just for the Knights, and I refused.I didn't think Steil would come to the Rock every day, so I didn't have to go back to my room.

After the exercise, you will rest in each room, drink on your own, eat in the cafeteria, and practice on your own, so if you walk in the exercise area, you will rub against quite a knight.

After returning to the castle with Pride, Steyl quickly had Prime Minister Gilbert prepare a student roster.Besides, Prince Pride wrote a letter and sent a messenger. After changing into his usual clothes, he seemed to be busy before meeting with both of them.

"Good work! Captain Arthur"

I exchanged greetings with the knight who was rubbing against me again.

"Good work," I said, "but I'm still convulsing inside." Mr. Norman.

Unexpectedly, Norman, who belongs to my 8th Corps, stops his legs when he knows what he's going to do with the bundle of paper he's holding in one arm.Because I stopped, Norman would stop my legs for a while, but only my eyes kept stabbing me.

Also, Izidore-san helped me sort out the report

Mr. Izidore was the deputy captain of the Eighth Division before me and Mr. Harrison.Lady Pride's form of escort has changed temporarily, and Deputy Harrison, accompanied by King Cedric's younger brother, is not in practice for half the day.Instead, Izidore-san put together the commander of the 8th Corps and a report for that purpose.

The commander seems to be helping Clark, but the Eighth Squad doesn't have a squadron similar to the First and Second Squadrons, so this is a tough time.The first squadron with Captain Alan and the second squadron with Captain Erik and the third squadron with Captain Column are covered by the second and fourth squadrons respectively, but that's not the case with the eighth squad.

Thanks to you, Izidore-san's workout until the afternoon has become more burdensome and he really can't get his head up.Norman is also helping Izidore with the paperwork.

"It's faster for the two of you to do it."In the absence of Captain Arthur and Vice Captain Harrison, Izidore is alone to cover for two people.As a subordinate, it is natural to help.Besides, unlike other knights, I have to skip the exercises temporarily, so it is only natural that I should shoulder this burden myself. "

"No... so it's not a bad thing to take the formalities to and from school, even if Norman doesn't have to take care of it that much."

"I'm just saying, I'm just doing it myself.It has nothing to do with Captain Arthur, so don't worry. "

I get cut off in the middle of words.

"I'd appreciate it if you could do it." I felt like I'd been hit in the stomach before I said no.

Norman is getting permission to leave the school once in the afternoon to see how her sister is doing......It's a system recognized by the Knights, and even though no one is blaming you, Norman is helping Izidore out after the exercise by filling the hole.I'm so sorry because it's my job and that of Deputy Harrison.Even now, the word "I'm sorry" has faded with Norman's rejection of me and my heavy neck.I thought it was too late immediately after it came out of my mouth.

"So why would Captain Arthur apologize?"It is natural that my subordinates assist their seniors and immediate superiors, and the assistant to the captain is also included in the mission.Or is it a burden to my ability?I think Captain Arthur should say a word of hard work rather than an apology.It's surprising that people still say, "Thank you."Because I am only doing my duty as a part of it. "

"Yes....."

Even if you say "thank you", it is very distracting to say "thank you" there compared to other personnel.

I thought that Izidore-san might be angry like this and still help me with the paperwork, but I felt even worse.

When Norman got angry and lowered his hips, I saw the eyes in the back of the glasses hanging up slightly.Damn, I made you angry.When this happens, the sermon from Norman is quite long."That's why you, my boss and the rank of captain, are angry."Basically, it's Norman who doesn't get involved directly, but once he bumps into me, he gets slapped with a rather sharp word.It wasn't uncommon for an Eighth Knight, but I think Norman was particularly aggressive with words.Everything you're saying is true, and I can't find a word to return.

After getting angry for a long time, they end up saying, "So I'm busy with this paperwork, so excuse me."

"I think there is no problem with the holiday application I submitted last month, but please check it again.If you're Captain Arthur, I don't think you'll be able to do "forgotten," "don't know," "do as you please." "

When Harrison was still a captain, he gave out his holiday wishes. He thought they were in the forgotten roots and said a word back.

If I say that here, I will definitely get irritated again.After watching Norman's back leave quickly, I moved my legs again.It's an exercise. I'm so tired again, but I can't help but think that it was only good that I found out that I was still infiltrating the school.

Speaking of feelings alone, I think I could have a more conversational conversation with Norman if I could talk about my sister Lila, but I can't help but finish the confidential inspection.

When I walked with a slightly wobbly foot while thinking about such a thing, I finally saw the desired door.When I noticed it, I felt my back stretch and swallowed it in my mouth.The door just opened and a knight appeared.

"Captain Column!"

"Thank you for your hard work," he replied immediately.

I bowed my head to Captain Column, who told me that I had just finished my report.I was thanked for returning to the castle.When I turned my back in front of my hands, I was slapped on the shoulder.... after all, I realize that this person still hasn't gotten his head up yet.

I think it would be nice for Norman and the other knights in the Eighth Division to be like this.If I unexpectedly shrink my gaze, I won't say anything next time, but I was told, "You're a good boss."

After thanking him, Captain Column headed towards the Knights' Hall.

"The Commander of the Knights should be available right now."There will be tomorrow, so don't just push yourself. "

I guess we just met with Harrison yesterday.

I returned word to the thrown star, understanding that I had already completely found out.

After looking at the departing Column Captain's back with his head down, he finally stopped in front of the Knight Commander's Office with his legs side by side.I knocked, and when I got permission to open the door, my father, who was alone in the room, looked back at me with slightly open eyes.

"Sorry to bother you, Knight Commander."

"Arthur, what's wrong?"

The hand that was opening the paperwork to me, who almost came in the wrong way with Captain Column, stops.

I don't think Clarke will be here tonight.The deputy commander has his own room, but Clark is often with his father somehow.Most of the time I'm helping with paperwork and chatting.

"... the deputy head of the delegation..."

"Clark's been home once."

I'm off duty tomorrow, so I think my father has a lot of such things lately.

But when Clark makes such a request, it makes me mock and it helps.

I looked away once, and then I turned to the front.When I wore my mouth around the back of my neck, my father seemed to understand. Before I said it, the paperwork came down to my desk.I'll open my mouth before you say anything.

"... a match. I'd like to ask you for a long time."

Wait a minute. My father cleared out the paperwork immediately after that word.

I don't want to see any more important documents.I felt bad about turning away from my face and letting it be cleaned up, so I only moved my mouth to deceive my comfort.

Is Captain Colum's usual report?

"Oh, Nate, that was it. I also heard about the incident from Prince Leon.I just told her to respond according to the situation.So far, I have no objection. "

Of course, this confidential inspection and the meeting with Prime Minister Jilbert, but the current situation is regularly reported by Captain Column and Captain Alan to the father who is aware of the situation.Captain Column just came out of the Knight Commander's Office.

As usual, Adam and Tippet and the first student to predict the situation are confirmed as being the same as before, and they respond immediately.

I still can't find anything about the predicted students, but I want Adam and Tippet to end their lives like this.It's best to make sure Pride-sama's safe, but at least I don't want any sign of them around him again.Not just for Pride, but also for Stale.I'm just worried about Pride right now, but it's not unusual for him to kill Adam.It was only natural that I should have done that.

My father finishes the preparation and raises his hips.When asked, he asked for an exercise room as far away from the Knights' Hall as possible to make it as invisible as possible.

Once you leave the Knight Commander's Office, you won't be able to have any more school-related conversations with Pride.

"How about the eighth?"

“Somehow, Izidore and Norman are helping me.”

Deputy Captain Harrison is now escorted by King Cedric's younger brother.

"Yes, but I'm not as busy as Captain Alan."She's barely able to come to the training ground with King Cedric's younger brother's bodyguard and Pride's guards on duty. "

"Even so, the amount of training I had a day was slightly higher than the other knights."Originally, the amount of voluntary training was different.Thanks to you, the strength of the battle between sword and bare hands is exhausted. "

Yes, I'll do an apprenticeship.

"But don't neglect to manage your physical condition."The day after tomorrow, you'll have a day off. Foster your spirit. "

“It's okay, I'll go to bed today after I finish my seven-piece match.”

"Five."

When I added the umbrella, it stopped.

Well, my father gave up his job and said, "I see."As they exchanged uncompromising conversations, they closed their mouths to each other once as they entered a matchmaking area that became one of the training grounds.I stood up my sword, clenched it, and cut through the space of only one silence.

Damn! The feeling of kicking the ground remained on the soles of my feet, and the next moment, my father played the preemptive sword with one hand.

I landed with my hand when my posture collapsed, and instantly regained my position by flipping over.When I got back on my feet, my father's blade had just been swung down in front of me.

Metal sounds crush the air, and when I receive it with a blade, I eat and tie my teeth.As he gathered his sword with his father, he suddenly began to move his mouth, "That's it."I waited for it to continue with my hard teeth, and I heard a quiet voice immediately.

“What's the matter, Arthur? Did you want me to do anything?"

"... no, that's not right."... just... "

Bounce back with all your strength and aim at your father's jaw with your front leg.

Even if I don't have anything to worry about, I have been dealing with my father as usual.However, there have been a lot of things lately, and the match has only been going on for a long time.

I didn't really want to ask my father about it this time.It's not like I had Harrison go out with me yesterday to clear my head....... It's just...

Kicking with a gap was also avoided as if to bend my back.That's where I move my mouth again.

"I just wanted to do this with my father for a long time."

When I answered without a joke, my father's eyes were slightly opened.

After shaking his sword to the side in a misleading manner, he twitched and said to himself, becoming a little embarrassed and biting his mouth from the inside.

I concentrated on the match without saying anything more to my father, who would not reply.

When I realized it, I had forgotten to count the number of copies from each other only after I finally got one from my father.
