We didn't spend much time touring the headquarters of the 《Kuro Wolf Knights》, and together with Aena we moved on to our next destination.
There were only a few places we could visit - if we had been allowed some freedom of movement, Aena might have put a little more effort into the tour as a soldier.
At least, she had a good look at the training of the knights.
It seems that she is more interested in such things.
...... In fact, it was Iris who looked blatantly happy to see the knights.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
For Iris, the profession of a knight is something she admires, so it's only natural.
Well, it is difficult for Iris to become a knight immediately, even if she has the ability.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
Also, Iris is still in a position where she can become the King. I'm sure she understands that it's not an offer she can easily refuse, no matter how much she doesn't want to.
(......For now, let's concentrate on the work of guarding for now.)
I switch my thoughts.
The number of knights in the regrouped group is about half of what it was in the first group -- it's easy for me to cover that much difference by myself.
In fact, I'm confident that as long as I'm by Aena's side, there won't be any problems in terms of combat--but I'm the type of person who specializes in direct combat. I'm not sure what Aena and Mercier's fighting styles are, but if we assume that they don't count as part of the force, then Iris and I may have overlapping roles in battle.
Therefore, we will have other guards who specialize mainly in logistical support, as well as those who will escort the knight.
The most troublesome problem that may occur is that Aria will come to ...... this place.
(I'd like to avoid that situation if possible, though. I'd rather be grateful if she came out, since we don't know what Aria is up to. ......)
As I was thinking about this, the carriage stopped moving at a certain place.
You can find a lot of different types of shoes and boots that you can choose from.
Is this the next stop?
"Yes. It's a protected facility designated by the kingdom, which means it's one of the places controlled by the Order.
...... Hmm. So, let's take a quick tour and move on.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
You can see the personality of the woman as she starts walking without waiting for Mercier or Iris.
--As was the case when we toured the Order's headquarters, she seems to have different interests in different places.
At the headquarters, she was particularly interested in the training scene and listened to the detailed history of the past knight commanders.
--It seems that he is mainly interested in things related to combat. In that sense, although their personalities don't seem to be similar, I can sense a similarity with Iris.
Iris is more interested in making herself stronger.
Aena is not only interested in that, but she is also interested in the field of combat and the history of her past career.
The magic library may also be of interest if there is something useful in terms of combat, but this is also a place to visit with a lot of classified information.
(And even if you let it slip that you're a regular tourist,........ I think he's the type of guy who goes all out for things that interest him, and wants to get it over with quickly for everything else.)
Analyzing the girl Aena - this is one of the necessary tasks in the role of an escort.
I've done a lot of things before I became an escort for Iris.
I wish I could have a conversation with Aena if I had time, but when I look at her, she blatantly avoids me.
(Hmm, I don't think I did anything to make her dislike me. ....... I don't think I did anything to make them hate me. ......)
I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
While Aena and Iris were listening to me, Mercier came all the way to me.
I'm sure you'll agree with me. I'd like to apologize for that. I'm sorry.
Mercier bows to me, all the way down.
Because she is Aena's subordinate, she probably has a lot of opportunities to take care of things in situations like this.
She is probably still a student in age, but she is a well-behaved girl.
No, no, I don't mind. I'm just Iris's valet.
I'm your valet." "That's very kind of you to say. Master Aena is a ...... selfish person, if I may say so. It's not that I'm difficult, but I'm not very good at it. ......
"......? I see.
So I hope you don't think badly of me, Aena. ...... Rather, I'd like to know what you think of me. ......
What?
No, forget about that.
Mercier's words were somehow not to the point.
I can understand what he is trying to say, but he seems to be hiding what he really wants to say. .......
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
Aena was still talking to the administrator of the magic library.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
"...... So, Alta-sama. When did you meet Master Aena?
I'm sure that's what she wanted to hear.
I'm sure that's what she wanted to hear.
But there's only one thing I can say.
I can only tell you one thing: "...... Well, when did this happen?
"......What?
Mercier rolled his eyes at my answer.
I thought I had answered in a natural way, but it seems that Mercier did not expect it.
Oh, I guess it's because I was in disguise. ......
...... disguise, is it?
No, I'm talking about me. I'm sorry, that was a weird story. I'll see you later.
Mercier bows his head again and leaves me alone.
I don't know what he meant by that question, but I can guess ...... something.
(Me and Master Aena have met once before. ...... I guess that's it. I don't know if I've ever had that opportunity .......)
I'll try to think back, but if I met someone in her position, I'm sure I'd remember.
...... I thought about it for a while when I was asked the meaningful question, but I could only come to the conclusion that I have never met her.
