〈 Episode 261 〉 It’s not a blessing, it’s a curse (2)

Destel of servility.
From the beginning, he was not called a derogatory name. Although he was somewhat pessimistic and had a sinister side, Destel was faithful to his duties.
He tried to minimize sacrifices and participated in rescue operations several times. He used to drink with the knight commander every day, asking him to retire, but everyone knew it was a joking joke.
A realistic warrior.
This is the name used to call Destel at the time.
If Galahal pursued ideals, Destel was a realistic warrior. However, if you ask whether the two warriors were in conflict, that is not the case. They both accepted each other’s ways and showed respect for each other.
That respect didn’t last long.
One incident occurred, and after that, Galahal and Destel completely drew a line.
『Latenile Suhoden.』
This operation was carried out without the Gray Wizard and Kyle Torben, who were humanity’s best forces at the time. The reason was simple. Because the two were in a state where they couldn’t fight.
Immediately after the battle with the Demon King.
Raniel, who traded his life, suffered a broken body.
Kyle Torben couldn’t use his starlight.
The saint was unable to pray, and the shrine was trapped in the forest, terrified.
The Latte Nile Suho Battle took place against such a background. Destel took the lead in the operation, and the knights moved under Destel’s command.
Although there were some sacrifices, the operation proceeded without a hitch. Until just before an oversized variable hits the battlefield.
“A black fog is rolling in.”
“…In the fog, there are countless demonic beasts. “After checking, there are five crustaceans.”
An army of apostates appeared on the battlefield.
Although no apostates appeared, the five crustaceans were enough to turn the battlefield into a wasteland. The walls collapsed and the operation was overturned in an instant.
The knights are swept away.
The battlefield is dyed in blood.
and.
“Run away, Destel.”
“We will take care of this place.”
Destel ran away.
Destel survived by sacrificing everyone gathered there. No one criticized that choice.
Even if it was Destel who commanded the Guardian Battle, disaster is a variable that no one can predict. There are only a handful of humans who can resist disaster, and not all warriors can face disaster.
Knights understand that.
As I understand it, I neither resented nor criticized Destel. She just mourns the death of her colleague.
「Are you here? Destel.”
「······.」
and.
“Uncle Heinkel.”
After returning, Destel makes the worst choice.
“I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it anymore. I want to go back to my hometown. I want to quit everything. Now, I’m just tired.”
With all the knights watching, Destel pleaded with the knight commander. The knight commander’s face hardened, and the knights fell silent.
“It’s of no use whatsoever. There is no need for strategies, strategies, or anything else. If you push through, it’s over. “What meaning is there in a battlefield that is maintained only by the whims of disaster?”
Kneeling on the muddy ground from the rain, Destel shouted that everything was meaningless. Destel’s voice lingered through the sound of rain for a while.
“What did you just say? Destel.”
Galahal was also there.
He was in charge of the battlefield where Destel fled, and Galahal, who lost all his comrades there, was also there.
“I asked what you said. Destel.”
“I’m quitting. I can’t do it anymore. Does this have any meaning? It’s all meaningless. When disaster strikes, you can’t do anything. “It’s all just meaningless.”
Immediately after, Galahal rushed at Destel.
Many knights had to step forward to stop Galahal, and after that incident, Destel was no longer called a ‘realistic warrior’.
Subservience (？？).
Destel of servility.
After the incident, Destel came to be called that.
2.
Rania glanced at the formidable-looking man standing in front of her.
Destel of servility.
The gray hair was reminiscent of a broom stuck in the corner of Aplia’s supply room, and the black eyes were reminiscent of fish being rummaged through.
It gives the impression that one has eaten a lot of food.
Even if you only look at him, he is a guy with poor personality. So, it means that he is the type of person he hates the most.
Rania frowned and lightly waved her hand.
“Move.”
I’m trying to exercise as much patience as I can just by not yelling at him to stop. However, there is no way Destel would appreciate Rania’s patience.
“If you don’t like it.”
Look at this.
In the past, he would sneak away whenever he made eye contact, but now he is smirking. Rania frowned a little more. As if enjoying the reaction, Destel continued speaking.
“Your relationship with your brother is a bit shit. “It seems like you heard a lot from your brother, but that’s…”
“Didn’t you hear me say get out of the way?”
Rania fired once more.
Destel flinched at Rania’s narrowed eyes and inadvertently took a step back.
‘What kind of eyes…’

It’s a look that could stab a person to death.
One wonders how such a look in his eyes can come out of a soft expression. Destel naturally took a few steps back and pointed in front of her.
“···Well, we’ll have to talk about it later.”
Destel walked ahead.
After glaring at the back for a moment, Rania reluctantly walked after him.
Not good.
Rania thinks so.
Although the encounter with Destel itself is annoying, I can tolerate that much. The problem is… because of the girl who is now standing behind him.
“Why are you doing this? Professor Rania.”
“···Nothing.”
Chloe.
A girl who is still immature and easily influenced by her immaturity.
To Chloe, the existence of Destel has nothing but negative effects. Therefore, Rania hoped that Chloe would not encounter Destel.
‘···It’s not like I didn’t keep the possibility in mind when I came to the battlefield.’
I thought the possibility of meeting them was slim.
Destel pathologically avoided Galahal, thinking that if he was with Galahal, they would never meet him.
‘Then why are you here?’
It was something Rania couldn’t understand.
Rania whispered to Chloe while glaring at Destel, who was walking ahead.
“There’s that broom-like bastard walking in front of me.”
The voice was a bit too loud to be a whisper.
Rania continued speaking with a slight tilt of her head.
“Don’t talk to him. “It’s bad water.”
“yes···?”
“Don’t get involved with him because he has a twisted mentality and only talks about useless things. “It’s harmful to your mental health.”
Chloe tilted her head.
Destel, who had been quietly listening to the story, burst out laughing and looked back.
“What on earth do you think I am?”
“You servile loser.”
Rania answered without a second of hesitation.
Destel shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Well, if you heard distorted information from that guy Raniel, you might think that way.”
“···distortion?”
“I only choose quick and sure methods. If you say that you are a servile loser, then there is nothing you can do about it. “Because I’m different from that guy.”
different.
As he said that, Destel narrowed his eyes.
“Wouldn’t it be better to maintain the status quo than to try to do the impossible and get ruined by rushing in?”
I flinch.
Rania stopped walking.
Chloe also stopped walking, and Destel twisted the corner of her mouth as she looked back at the two.
“Did I say something wrong?”
It is a sarcastic remark about the gray wizard’s actions.
“Oh, maybe it was all planned. Rather than rolling around on the battlefield until you die, would you rather retire after breaking your body? “It’s a great plan.”
Destel clapped.
“Indeed, he definitely deserves to be called a wise man.”
At the sneer on Destel’s lips, Rania’s eyes turned cold. Rania took a step toward Stell, who stopped in her tracks.
thud.
The heels of my shoes hit the floor noisily. Just like that, it was the moment when Rania tried to grab Destel by the collar.
“Do it in moderation.”
Galahal, who was standing still, grabbed Destel by the neck.
“Don’t you know that Raniel is not that kind of person? Don’t provoke by saying things you don’t mean to. “It’s in bad taste.”
“well. “You don’t know that.”
Destel slapped Galahal’s hand away.
“Because everyone left and in the end, I was the only one left.”
It was a nervous voice.
3.
“I was waiting.”
The knight commander, Heinkel, warmly welcomed the three people who entered the room.
“You had a hard time coming this far. “I heard Rox prepared a carriage, but I don’t know if he would like it.”
“It was a comfortable trip.”
Galahal nodded slightly and answered.
Heinkel smiled bitterly as he saw Galahal, who had been sent away from the front line, come back with an excuse.
“So, is that Miss Chloe?”
“Man, it’s an honor to meet you…!”
Chloe said in a trembling voice.
“The wall of humanity, protecting humanity…”
“You can just call me Knight Commander. “You can friendly call me Uncle Heinkel.”
“Well, is that okay?”
“Of course.”
Heinkel laughed at Chloe’s nervous voice with a lot of force in it. She smiled softly and Heinkel nodded slightly at her.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Chloe, the next hero candidate.”
This girl looks much brighter than I heard through rumors. Heinkel also feels guilty about that fact. Because I am in a position to push a girl like that into battle.
Heinkel, who had been looking at Chloe for a moment, turned his head.
If you move your gaze to the side, you can see a girl with gray hair standing next to Chloe.
Gray hair and blue eyes.
The expressionless face was a far cry from the Raniel that Heinkel remembered. It seemed like the rumor that it was something completely different was not empty.
“Then, the lady over there…”
“This is Rania van Trias.”
The girl reveals her name.
A quiet voice rang around the office. It was a dry voice with no sense of temperature.
‘You’re a tougher girl than I thought.’
It feels different from Raniel, who was serious when he was serious, but often showed a light side.
“I heard you are playing the role of Miss Chloe’s educator. I often heard rumors. and···.”
Heinkel tapped the table.
“And that you are Raniel, that friend’s successor.”
Raniel said this in a direct letter.
Rania Van Trias is said to be the successor she raised herself. All of her magical knowledge was passed down to her.
‘indeed.’
The atmosphere is different.
The girl had a sense of dignity that was not appropriate for her age group. The atmosphere is like that of a warrior who has been fighting the battlefield for years.
“so.”
Heinkel opened his mouth.
“I heard that the next warrior candidate, Miss Chloe, will be trained here. “You can feel the atmosphere of the scene and observe the hero’s fight up close.”
These are the things written in the report sent.
“Have you ever thought of a place?”
Heinkel smoothed his chin.
“If you have a designated place, please tell me. “Miss Rania, you probably don’t know anything about wires, so it’s better for you to choose Galhal…”
“Eastern Third Front Harpion.”
We are just about to unfold the map and choose a suitable stage for education. Someone recited the exact place name. Heinkel blinked while unfolding the map.
The one who gave the voice was Rania.
Heinkel was quite taken aback by the words that came out of the mouth of the still girl.
“What did you just say…?”
“I told you it was the Eastern Third Front, Harpion.”
Heinkel tried to remember which place the girl pronounced the place and who was in charge of that place.
Third Front, Harpion.
The person in charge there is Destel the Bigul.
‘···Why that place?’
Heinkel tilted his head at the place name that came out of nowhere. Is it suitable for education there? There must be many other good places, right?
As if responding to Heinkel’s questioning gaze, Rania raised her head, brushing her hair. Her blue eyes were shining through her flowing gray hair.
“It seems to me the best place for education. “I have a lot to show you in many ways.”
Rania smiled.
It was a very creepy smile.
‘···You seem angry?’
The voice sounds like gritted teeth.
Heinkel slowly turned his gaze to look at Galahal. In response to the gaze demanding an explanation, Galahal just shook his head in silence.
