119 Episode 119 "Qualification Acquisition Manual by a Little Knight Aspirant".txt (1/2)

''Well then, Delilira-san will now make a long-distance mobile golem to search for the ruins of the demon race!

In front of the Delilira Labyrinth, whose entrance was blocked off, the saint said.

From inside the bird-shaped golem, a woman with light purple hair appeared, softly, wearing a white robe. She's wearing a white robe. Her body was translucent and transparent. She's the ghost of the saint.

She looked at us with a satisfied smile.

You mustn't forget about Delilira-san.

With translucent fingers, I touch the rock that blocks the cave. Her gaze remains fixed on us.

Then she slowly enters the cave.

The entrance is blocked by a rock that the Hounds of the Dawn broke down, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the ghosts.

''I'm sure I'll come to see you again!　Until then, take care!　Strange master and his party!

'Thank you very much. Saints.

Cecil had his wand in his hand and kept his head down forever.

All the way until the saint's voice faded away - until it was completely unheard.

After that, me, Cecil, Rita and Reggie went back to the villa.

Aine, Iris, and Rafilia left yesterday for the port city of Irgafa.

I remember they were riding in a carriage and waving at us incessantly while surrounded by the soldiers who came from the port city.

I'm actually a little bit worried, but I've reinforced Iris, and Aine and Rafilia are with me, so we'll be fine.

I guess.

The rest of us are going to clean up the villa now.

Ostensibly, we're supposed to be Iris's bodyguard. The reason we're here is because we want to clean up after the priestess leaves and say hello to the people who have helped us. We've already said goodbye to the holy woman, so we'll be leaving two days late, too.

It would have been better if we could have gone a little slower, but...

...... Suddenly, looking at the villa, which is in a state of disarray, I'm somewhat uncomfortable .......

”It will be too much trouble if it rains again, so let's leave while the weather is nice.

'I agree. Dear Nagi.

A vacation home is nice, but there's no place like home.

Hey, Lord, I'm a lonely boy.

Cecil, Rita agrees. Reggie, who's following me around, pulled my cheek and shut me up.

I began to clean the villa.

I wanted to make sure it was ready for my next visit, since I might be taking another vacation there.

I bought everything I needed for the trip when I went to the market with Aine and the others. The carriage we came in had been left behind for us to use. The only thing left to do now is to say hello to the merchant, Dolgor.

We are indebted to him, and from now on we will be asking him to manage the house.

That's why in the evening, I decided to go out with Rita and Reggie, who was in his magic sword state.

''Oh!　How merciful the sea dragon priestess is to say that the guards should come back slowly!

The merchant, Dolgor-san, is thrilled to hold my hand.

Come to think of it, this guy is a fanatic for ”Sea Dragon Kerkator”. There are dolls all over the room.

I'm sure you are treated with great respect because of your ability and loyalty. He even came to pay his respects in place of you, Iris!

Thank you, Mr. Iris, for your help.

I said.

'Lord Iris, you always appreciate me and you yourself are always striving for greater heights. He is not afraid to take things in his little body and to change himself.

I was impressed by his perseverance in stepping into ”unknown places,” eliminating ”obstacles” in order to get ”what he wants” and accomplish his goals. I think the House of the Ilgafa Lords should have more respect for Lord Iris,” he said.

'Oh!　Exactly!　Exactly.

Mr. Dolgor is shaking his head as if he's getting it.

Rita seems to be holding her mouth behind my back and holding back something she wants to say.

The correct translation of this article is: I'm in an unknown place (marketplace), eliminating obstacles (pickpocketing) for the sake of what I want (soap), and I'm doing a great job!　That's what I'm talking about. .......

'But I'm not comfortable with the idea of constantly indulging in such a kindness from Iris-sama.

I let go of Mr. Dolgor's hand and returned a light bow, like a surrogate for Iris.

'So we too will be leaving tomorrow.

'Well, ...... no vestiges of it, but it's no use, ...... yes.

The merchant, Mr. Dolgor, waved his massive arm in the air as if an idea had occurred to him.

''As a matter of fact, I'm also planning to send out a wagon to King's Landing tomorrow. Of course, I've hired some adventurers to escort me. If you'd like to accompany me?

Did we?

'You'll feel safer with more people on the road. What do you think?　You don't need to be shy. There's someone else who'll be with you.

Mr. Dolgor said, stroking his beard and narrowing his eyes.

He's a good man. I knew it.

Since demons appear on the streets, it's safer to proceed in large numbers. Even demons are wise, so if they think they can't win, they won't attack you. You can't use your cheat skills if other people are around, but if the demons aren't there in the first place, there's no need for them.

I'm curious about the fact that there's someone else to accompany us, though: .......

''I understand. I'll take advantage of your kindness.

''It's nothing, I'm the one who despises the sea dragon. It's only natural for you to do this.

Let us know when you'll be leaving. We'll see what time it is.

I understand... so...

Mr. Dolgor said, and then there was a knock at the door.

The door opens and his daughter comes out. 'We have a visitor,' she murmurs.

I guess it's time.

'Well, we'll be going then.

Oh, please hold. Since you're here, let me introduce you.

Mr. Dolgor said, winning me and Rita over as they tried to get up.

'It appears that someone has arrived who will be accompanying the wagon as well as you.

Come in, Cutlass.

Please excuse me from ....... Mr. Dolgor.

The one who came in was a little... what?

'Cutlass-Mutran, I'm here to greet you before you leave.

The person bowed deeply to Mr. Dolgor and to us.

He is about a head and a half shorter than me.

His hair is gray, almost white, and is tied behind his neck.

He's got a thick breastplate across his chest. He's wearing a pair of pants...

...... Sorry, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.

'Allow me to introduce you. This is Cutlass-Mutran. He is a boy who wants to become a knight candidate ──────. Through an acquaintance of mine, I have been asked to accompany him on a wagon to the royal capital.

For some reason, Dolgor said with a subtle look on his face.

''Cutlass. This is 'Sea Dragon Priestess' Iris's bodyguard, Souma-Nagi, and her slave. Both are skilled and trusted by Iris.

Yes, let's go!

Oh, I bit.

Mr. Cutlass shook his head in embarrassment, held his chest, took a deep breath, and

I am Cutlass-Mutran, and I have heard of you. I have heard of you. It is an honor to be able to speak with a priestess who can talk to a transcendent being called a sea dragon as an equal - her guard!

'It is my pleasure. It's a pleasure to be in the company of a knight-errant. Speaking of knights...

Come to think of it, I hadn't heard about the knights of this world.

If you were a knight of the original world: ......

I have heard of him as a man of high integrity and loyalty to his lord, and one who is close to being a nobleman.

No, no, no, no, I'm still a candidate in training!

Mr. Cutlass turned bright red and waved his pata-pata.

It seems to be the correct answer.

''Jeez, it's embarrassing to be compared to an adventurer who has experienced a real battle!

'But when you're a candidate for knighthood, you must be pretty good at it. I am honored to have met you here. I'm sure you'll be beyond the reach of the rest of us sooner or later.

I just came out of a small town in the west. I don't even know if I can be a candidate for knighthood yet or not. ......

It's hard to be a knight, isn't it?

In the meantime, I've got the story together.

I'll ask everyone for more information about the knights later.

I'm from a distant region and I'm not familiar with the information in this area, but ...... are there still strict requirements and such?

'Yes. Those who wish to become a knight must take an examination in the capital once a year. Only after passing the exam can you be qualified for knighthood!

Mr. Cutlass straightened up and declared.

'Exams, eh? That's a lot of work.'

But first, I have an interview.

...... It's the same in every world.

It's like working for a proper company. It's no surprise that there's a certain amount of formalities involved.

When it comes to interviews, ...... are you still going to the big guy's partner?

''Yes. First you have to be interviewed by a senior knight, then a mid-level knight, then a retired knight, then the nobles, and finally the Prime Minister!

Wait a minute, what is that brilliant combo from general interview to executive interview?

'In order to get an interview in the first place, you have to attend an information session in a town near Wangdu. The odds are pretty high, but I managed to slip in.

The hurdle was too high at the information session.

”When I first applied, I was told that the application period was 'closed,' but with Dolgor's help, I changed my address to this town and was able to apply for an 'extended application period.'

The discrimination against the place of origin was blatant.

'Even to participate in the briefing, you have to have the prescribed armour, weapons and armour. The regulations were so strict that even if the shield was as short as your little finger or the handle of the sword was too thick, you would be dropped. In addition, if the top of the shield is made to be 'right-handed', it is a good omen and you are more likely to be adopted.

Please take a look at it.

Then Cutlass-san showed me a plaque that ...... had the right side up at a sharp angle. Like a knife.

This ...... could stab you if you're not good at it. It is the dominant arm.

I'm not sure if Mr. Cutlass himself is aware of this, but...

The shield sometimes sticks in my dominant arm when I'm fighting, but to make it more mind-blowing, I can go to .......
