519 517 Knights and Adventurers (2/2)

Huh? Really? I was surprised, too.

”Adventurer's work is adventure”

”Adventure?”

”Yes. Adventurers are the ones who adventure”

”Who catches bandits or hunts warcraft? Isn't the adventurer doing better?

”I'm doing it. But the truth is, a knight or something a soldier does. But you won't do it, so the adventurer's just doing it.”

Um, I don't think there are too many adventurers of the same opinion as Fran. When Fran says adventure, he should be referring to entering a demonic realm or dungeon and fighting in general.

And he is simply saying that policing defeating bandits and warcraft is inherently the job of the Knights. But the boundaries were pretty vague there. They are fighting warcraft in the dungeons, so they can fight outside, and fighting bandits and so on is considered an extension of that.

”... but those with power must have a duty to protect people!

”Really?

”That's right! Power comes with duty!

”Hmm. I'm not sure”

”Deane.”

Carna controls, but Deane's words don't stop.

”Oh, while you're so powerful, you don't think anything of seeing the weak? You're not going to save me!

”I think so? So you helped, too.”

”... now I need to know...”

”Hmm? I help because I want to. That's all. Nothing, because I try to help if I want to, even if I'm weak. You help people because you're strong? Forsake me if I'm weak?

”Oh, that's...”

”Deane! Shut up!

”... Huh! also, sorry......”

Deane, yelled at by Karna, silenced with a blue face.

But it's a difficult problem. The duty of power is a convenient rationale for the weak to use the strong. Or I think it's the pride of a strong man drunk with power.

I wouldn't be thinking such a difficult thing in Fran's case. In the first place, if there's anyone in trouble in front of me, I won't be long to figure out why, because I'm going to help you for now. As I said myself, help because I want to help. That's all.

If they were annoying guys, they would either abandon them normally or demand help and extrajudicial rewards.

This may also be said to be the difference between adventurers and knights. Knights are people who are fed by taxes, so to speak. I guess I'll be tapped in on my duties and rights around there from the time I joined the group.

Oh, unless it's the Rotten Scum Knights.

It's just, ”Work for your paycheck!” Then you can't raise your morale, and you can't keep your pride. So I guess expressions like salvation of the weak, service for justice, will be used. If that kind of education goes too far, a knight like Deanne will be born.

By contrast, all adventurers are at their own risk. In other words, the power you get should also be your own, and the idea of using it for your own good should be normal.

”I don't have Deanne's shoulders, but I heard some adventurers do bandit stuff.”

”It's not because I'm an adventurer. Even to knights and nobles, there's scum. There are no evil men in your country?

”That's... right. It's true. There are bad knights and nobles.”

Karna listens to Fran and snorts deeply. They have something on their mind. Come to think of it, it's unnatural for a lady to be traveling in a small number of places like this, and I guess there's something about it.

”Then the adventurer...”

Are you interested in adventurers for the rest of your life, Karna's questions went on and on until you went to bed.
