Slash .

Thud . Thud .

At the same time, the momonga-like monster with horns that was the size of a basketball was cleanly bisected . Because the monster’s body wasn’t hard, the horned momonga’s carcass fell onto the ground with a clattering noise . The horned momonga was an easy prey that one could easily kill .

After thrusting his spear into the creature’s vital points without facing any resistance, Jin held a horned-momonga with a bright expression .

“Doyle! One’s over there!”

While Jin rushed into a herd of horned monsters, he cried out to me . When I looked in the direction he indicated, I noticed a momonga flying toward me, so I sliced it apart with my sword . Just as I finished off that momonga, I looked back at Jin . It seems like he finished dealing with the rest of the momongas without any help . He ran towards me as fire sparks scattered from his spear .

I tried to stop Jin in a hurry, but before I could speak, the prince, who had been chasing the horned-momonga nearby, called out .

“Jin! Hurry up and put out the flames! What would you do if you caused a wildfire?!”

“Ha!? So—sorry!”

Astonished by the prince’s angry voice, Jin hastily extinguished the flames and looked at the area behind him to confirm that there were no other fires . He then patted his chest in relief .

He seemed busy changing his expression from surprise to smiling in relief .

“…it would be great if Jin could keep his composure a bit more . ”

“Furthermore, his emotions can be easily read from his face, right?”

“Yeah . ”

As the prince muttered Jin’s shortcomings out loud, he nodded deeply with a mystical expression he contemplated seriously . With a hand on his chin and his thoughts on his face, I was moved to the conclusion of a conversation .

In my conversation with the prince, I felt that although I may not say it completely, I was able to get a hold of my heart, so I thought about his character just like the prince .

Being easy to understand was both good and bad .

It is better to be easy to understand when one was with friends, but when one is confronted with an enemy, one will feel uneasy . If you are of the same kind, Jin was like a sitting duck waiting to be eaten by a black-hearted person . Jin was so honest that when he will face such enemies in the future, I was afraid that he will cause his own defeat .  

“Aniki, we got a big catch!”

“Oh, we finished off quite a lot, huh . ”

“Momonga carpet!”

“If you want to make one, you can collect the skins yourself . Furthermore, if you ask Lute, he can find a craftsman who will be able to sew them together . ”

“…uh, I’ll refrain from doing so . ”

“No need to hesitate, we can provide a master craftsman right away . ”

“No, no, no! Please don’t, Doyle-sama!”

Regardless of the demon beasts, when thinking about Jin’s character, it makes me a bit worried about when he will have to deal with humanoids such as humans or demi-humans . Suddenly, the sounds of rustling echoed . Pushing through the grass were the seniors, Rodric and Sarane . Emerging from the grass after them was Leo, who looked at the horned momongas sprawled across the floor .

After seeing countless horned momongas scattered across the ground, Rodric cheerfully joked, so I took a ride on them, but they really hated me .

In fact, if you just take the horns as a matter of fact, I would never want to turn this number of horned-momongas into fur, so I will not recommend gathering any more .

Today, even though I’m handling dozens of wizards, I’m sure I’ll get a label on my ogre boss, for example, by turning this number of horned monsters into fur .

“Hey! How long are you going to fool around with Doyle-sama? Get to work already! If you don’t hurry, the sun will set before you reach the camp . ”

“Ah, Aniki!”

In this way, when I am playing with Rodric-senpai, Leo gives them guidance . They always look dissatisfied with Leo’s instruction in jest, but this time they are happy to follow Leo’s words and start to run away from me .

Leo, on the other hand, gasps when the two people are quick and ready to move, grumbles after the Rodric, saying, “I only listen to what you want to say when it’s convenient . ”

I’m having a hard time with my lord and Leo and his men .

I think so when I see the state of the prince and Leo, who was worried about twins .

Compared to them, I don’t think the strange behavior of Ballad, Rodric’s business spirit, or Jeff’s nature were a problem . Solzier is so common that he can’t think of anything .

“Doyle-sama!”

As I looked at two groups of men and their bosses, saying that they were brothers rather than masters, Ballad rushed to me with his eyes shining brightly . When he reached me, I found Ballad’s usual switch had already been switched on .

“As expected of Master Doyle! You fiercely cut down the demonic beasts like slicing through pieces of fruit! If they could see your figure now, I’m sure that Master Alan and Madam Serena would have been very pleased .   While the horned momonga was flying around, it was as if you knew where it would arrive from . Furthermore, you defeated it using only the slightest of movements without chasing it around . I feel very moved after witnessing your skills . “

“…Thanks . ”

“No! Rather, I wanted to thank you!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes!”

As it is in the woods during the training camp, I was overwhelmed by the praise of Ballad, who finished shorter than usual . When I thought it was short today, I suddenly felt my gaze from the side, so I looked back .

“What do you want?”

“…Don’t worry about it . ”

Looking back on the direction in which he felt his gaze, he looked at me with a wistful look on his face, and when asked what he wanted to do, he replied that it was nothing after looking at him .

I was not satisfied with the unnatural attitude of the prince, but I bowed to him and gave up the pursuit .

“Doyle, if you like, come here with your lord . ”

“Save me, my lord, and Ballad made me a place to rest, so why don’t you join me?”

“I’ll come in . ——Jin! You must come!’

“Yes!”

Ballad, who had finished his regular event every time I did something, had already prepared a place to rest . ”It was a simple one with a cloth spread on the ground, but it would be enough if I thought I was in a training camp . ”

He wanted to sit and preserve his strength while he was waiting for his seniors, but he didn’t have a place to live because of the horned-momonga scattered around him . However, I was wondering if I could leave the non-combatant seniors who were collecting them and would wait .

He was as clever as ever and well prepared . Jin, who had been giving a cheerful reply to the prince when he saw the ballad, was a little withered, but I don’t think he had to worry about his different abilities even if he was in the same position .

Well, I’m not going to bother telling Jin about that .

The fools of war now and then, thinking of some bad character, set themselves on to the cloth prepared by the ballad .

On the left and right Jin sat centering his highness, and Ballad sat on the right . While moistening his throat with the water which Ballad prepared, he easily took care of the sword .

However, since it wasn’t possible to take care of your sword in the middle of the forest, you can wipe the blood and dirt with a damp towel and wipe the sword with paper until the water is depleted .

Originally, it is necessary to apply oil to oil-coated paper to prevent rusting, but this sword can be easily maintained for a few days .

In spite of its simple care, this sword can be described as a famous sword in a pale, shining sword . It is a family treasure of the former Aginis family .

“Master Doyle,”

“What?”

“Where on earth did Master Doyle get such an excellent sword? Even if I don’t use a sword, I can tell that it is a fine sword at first sight . Surely, it should be a renowned sword, but…”

As I looked at my sword, which had recovered its luster with some simple care, Jin asked me about the origin of my sword . After spending a lot of time in the royal palace’s training field, Jin was able to use other weapons than his spear to some extent .

The prince stared vacantly at my seniors and Ballad as he looked for signs of any unwanted presences in the surroundings . However, after he heard about the topic we shifted to, he started to listen with interest .

“This sword seems to be one of the Aginis family’s treasures . ”

“Is that so?”

“It’s a sword called [Gievre Esparda], which is compatible with water and ice magic . A long time ago, it was owned by one of our ancestors who inherited the Aginis family . Gladius-san, my grandfather’s brother, gave this to me when I coincidentally chanced upon him . ”

A long time ago .

“In order to use this sword, one will have to inherit it as a family treasure after becoming the Duke of Aginis,” I said . Me, who was taught the way of the sword by an adventurer, still vividly remember the moment I held this sword when I handed it over to you rather than smoking under a writer like me .

This sword, which he supposed to hold for the first time since he had realized it was a spear, had been so used to his hands that he could hold it for the first time . I felt as if I had grasped this weapon .

I still vividly remember the horror of this sword, which I was surprisingly used to .

I didn’t throw him away, but I couldn’t help but want to let go of this sword .

At that time, I didn’t know why such a familiar sword was scary, but now I understand it . I must have been instinctively aware of the reason the sword was so used to it that I was afraid of the possibilities it presented .

At that time, I was aware that I had no aptitude for spears .

As if he had held this sword for the first time, he closed his eyes gently, confirming the touch of the sword which he had been accustomed to for decades .

I received this sword from Gladius-san, and, as I had been told by the adventurer who had been employed as a bodyguard, I was in despair and covered the fact . He had stopped the adventurer, and had turned his sword into a subspace, as if nothing had happened .

And just before the high school entrance ceremony, this sword, which had been held for about ten years, was as familiar within the hands that held it, and the skills that were used for the first time in ten years felt natural .

Rather, I laughed when I was able to slice trees into two just as easily as I did in my memory, with the skill of reaching the middle of the tree when I was a child .

And, at the same time, I felt deeply that I could never become a Spear Hero in my entire life .

Remembering what happened before the entrance ceremony, I opened my eyes with a touch of sentimentality, discovering that everyone was looking at me .

When I opened my eyes to the eye of surprise, I saw Leo, who was looking at me, hastily took Rodric and Sarane, and went back to collect the horns of the horned-momonga .

Meanwhile, Ballad looked at me with a forlorn expression, and in Jin, he was fixed with a look of “I’ve done it!” In the midst of this, the prince repeatedly opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, yet he could not find the correct words to speak out . He ended up remaining silent with an impatient expression .

Everyone shut their mouths as the area became silent .

I stood up as I felt uncomfortable being in a delicate place, perhaps because I had a bad sense of silence after the explanation of the sword .

At that time, the lords on both sides and Ballad flipped their shoulders because I moved, but they pretended to be aware of it and headed toward Leo . The Jin which I had seen on the way was still solid, but it would be something for the prince .

He throws a round of measures to deal with the solidified gins into the palace and heads to Leo, Rodric, and Sarane, who had noticed me, were both elated, but Leo said something strangely .

I don’t know what Leo looks like because he’s turning his back on me, but I can’t help but laugh at Leo, who was paying attention to me and scolding Rodric .

There are still many things that are missing, but I am definitely blessed with people around me .

“Leo ”

“…”

“Horned-momonga is just taking a corner, right? I’ll help you . ”

“You’re fighting, so you can rest?”

“But if you don’t hurry, the sun will set before you find a camp . ”

“…Ah, if possible, fold it from the base and pile the body up here . I’ll have them put together in pieces later and burn them . ”

“I see,”

To Leo, who says he can rest, give a suitable reason with a feeling that it is uncomfortable to face the dark . He gave me permission to pick the horns if I looked behind me and I looked back to Leo .

In response to the permission given by Leo, he snapped up the corner of Horned-momonga, which is still a lucky corner .

Then, looking at the subtle air behind him with a silent turn of the corner, he sighed .

It’s bad for the gentlemen, but I’m not good at being worried . This is how I can’t stand it . I get upset with the exquisite warmth .

I don’t like this kind of atmosphere…

As I was still at a delicate age, I couldn’t accept the worry even if I knew I was worried, and I walked quietly around the corner, thanking the thoughtful people who were wrinkled between my eyebrows .
