The inauguration ceremony is five days away.
It was a time when the festival atmosphere in Weibin became stronger and people’s faces were full of smiles, but as is the case with any place where people live, there were some people who were not very happy.
What can I say, it was Danal, the leader of the Seolyeong Knights.
“Everyone is having a good time.”
“Captain, they’re short on manpower over there and they’re asking for your help.”
“Do people in this town see knights as water? “Reject!”
“Madam ordered it.”
“… Hehe, it’s my palja.”
Danal stood up, sighing with regret.
Although I didn’t want to move at all, I had to follow Tyria’s orders.
This is because Wibin is the one who makes even Kasha a docile sheep.
How hard will the rest of your life be if you go out of sight?
Of course, it is not human enough to retaliate against her because she does not listen well.
In Danal’s opinion, Tyria was a very formal person who was ranked the highest among all the nobles he knew.
As long as we maintain an amicable relationship, it’s pretty… I would say it’s a very good employer.
Therefore, it is good to show obedience in these small details.
‘I’ll finish it quickly and get some sleep.’
He sighed and looked up at the sky.
How could I be so heartless?
While I was in a daze, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
“… Ricky, if you think about it.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t we better off than we thought?”
“Us?”
“Yes, us. “When you first came to Wibin, you were prepared to die.”
Danal rubbed his chin.
I touched his rough beard.
This means that they did not manage it well enough to raise it, or in other words, they lived comfortably that way.
There were no secret and dangerous missions to undertake as Kasha’s limbs.
The only thing I did after coming here was patrol the village or sleep around with the nominal title of knight.
Ricky scratched the back of his head.
“That’s what I heard.”
“right?”
“Yes, except when that flame came…” .”
“Except that one because it’s creepy.”
Danal burst out laughing.
In any case, it was a town with rare incidents of accidents, but the quietness was not bad.
No, I get the feeling that this is a very suitable neighborhood for my life after retirement as an assassin, which I dreamed of someday.
‘Are we going to keep living like this?’
It looks like the war in the West will end soon, so will I live and die as a knight of this Korean-American territory?
It didn’t seem like it would be that bad.
Kasha, like the Grim Reaper, doesn’t usually look for them, so there’s probably not much to worry about.
I was in the middle of thinking.
“Look! “Good knight!”
The owner of a tavern that I stop by once shouted loudly.
“Please bring some wood here! “I’m getting old and I can’t use my back any more!”
“Inspiration! “Do you think the driver is some kind of handyman or something?!”
“To my wife… .”
“But I, Dinan, are different! “Because he is a true knight who understands the hardships of the common people!”
Danal walked with a thump and immediately picked up a load of wooden materials and moved them toward the square.
Ricky’s glare was quite stinging, but life was more important than pride.
It was that kind of moment.
“leader! “I just finished training!”
“Wow, surprise!”
Danal was agitated by the sudden appearance of Veron.
“Why are you doing that?!”
Veron tilted his head innocently.
Danal calmed her startled heart and glared at him, then sighed and shook her head.
“… “No, it’s nothing.”
Veron’s assassination skills were improving day by day.
This was despite the fact that he had never even paid attention to full-scale assassin training.
Even when I was a training instructor at Wolyoung, I had never seen someone so talented.
It was a mystery to me every time I saw it, how it was able to perform such perfect stealth maneuvers with a body nearly 2 meters tall.
‘If this guy had been my classmate during Wolyoung days, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of becoming the branch leader.’
Perhaps, if he grows up a little more, he will grow into an assassin who surpasses even heavenly profit.
A strange feeling arose, but it soon subsided.
“So what should I practice from now on? What’s the next skill to learn?!”
What can you expect from a guy who doesn’t even know if he’s learning knighthood or assassination?

You might have noticed it at this point, but Veron only interpreted the spirit class in a positive way and believed that what I was learning was a knight class.
“Go and practice your diving skills some more. “Hold your breath by the stream for an hour.”
“Train patience! Patience is a knight’s virtue! “I’ll be back!”
“Are you coming? You don’t have to come.”
“We will not disappoint!”
I never expected it.
Before I could even say that, Veron said! and ran to the stream.
Meanwhile, it was moving silently using a creepy shadow technique.
Ricky asked in a creepy voice.
“Captain, what on earth is that?”
There was only one answer that Darnall could give.
“… I don’t know either. scared.”
Danal could not understand Veron.

“President.”
Edward opened his eyes at the secretary’s voice.
“… ah.”
Have you fallen asleep yet?
Edward got up from the bed and looked out the window.
What you see are the people of Wibin who are busy preparing for the inauguration ceremony.
It was like that.
Edward hadn’t left Weibin yet.
“Get up slowly. And then decide whether to go back or not.”
“Tsk, if I keep going like this, I’m going to get a scolding from the old man.”
Edward scratched the back of his head and let out a long breath.
This is because it is none other than EW’s largest shareholder, the Demon King Zerdia, who grants immunity if this task is not carried out properly.
It was he who advocated more strongly than anyone else for Kasha’s recruitment at the last alliance meeting.
-The Sword Emperor is a walking disaster. It’s like a natural disaster that no one can easily predict and cannot prevent. He cannot be captured by magic. It’s impossible even with your toy. The only thing worth walking around with is the sword. This guy can’t see any other way.
These are the words of someone who has actually faced the situation, so how can you just ignore them?
The entire alliance agreed with Zeldia’s opinion, and it was Edward who came to fill that role.
But I don’t see a way to connect.
Kasha’s intention to refuse is so firm, so how can she change her mind now?
It was difficult for those caught in the middle.
Edward muttered in a voice full of depression.
“We have to find a way before the inauguration ceremony ends.”
“Do you have something in mind?”
“Are you sure?”
“Just talking nonsense… .”
“That’s it. “Because I think it’s going to be really sad.”
It means that the secretary is really upset because he can’t catch his master.
I tried to complain in my mind, but I couldn’t give him any more glares.
In fact, Edward’s greatest strength was a secretary like this Mojiri.
“Ugh, it’s done. “What can I say to you?”
It’s just sad because no one knows.

In addition to the inauguration ceremony, the Portman family’s mansion was attracting attention to one more thing.
It was none other than tending flower beds.
As promised last winter, Elric was working with Tyria to plant flowers in the bleak flower bed.
With the idea of planting yellow flowers, green grass, and occasionally red flowers, the work of covering seeds according to type in the soil continues.
Some might say that it is unbecoming of a noble to get dirt on one’s hands, but today Tyria was shedding a shred of dignity that she usually wore like armor as she got dirt on her sleeves.
Elric looked at that figure.
At that moment, something from the past comes to mind again.
– Due to circumstances, the four remaining kingdoms have formed an alliance! All-out war is just around the corner! We need your power!
Even though I told myself not to worry, it was obvious why those words kept coming to mind.
This is because they were so deeply involved in the war that they could not just ignore it.
10 years is half the time we can remember.
How could it be easy to dismiss those years as something that never happened?
The discomfort that rose up occasionally tormented my insides again.
It was that moment.
“I guess that’s all for today.”
Tyria stood up and said.
“It would be best to stop here until the inauguration ceremony is over.”
“I guess it would be crazy to do multiple things at once.”
“yes.”
Tyria nodded and stared at Elric.
“Let’s go together.”
“hmm?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
It was the same question again.
These were the words she heard the most during the day, and Elric’s response was the same.
“You said it’s okay, why are you doing this again?”
“… I’m sorry if I offended you. “I guess your complexion is not very good.”
“Was it that bad?”
Tyria hesitated.
At the end, the answer came out quietly.
“… “I think it was to be released after the inauguration ceremony was decided.”
Elric laughed bitterly as he was stabbed to the core as if he was sorry.
I don’t think I can completely avoid her notice either.
At moments like this, should I just say everything that comes to mind?
How about talking about the past 10 years?
One, I couldn’t say.
“I’m fine. I’m just nervous. “Isn’t this really unbecoming of a lord for such a large amount?”
How can I say this?
Your husband is a murderer who has been living on top of a mountain of corpses for 10 years.
This is a man who weighed a person’s life for a single gold coin, held the nation’s survival hostage, and drained the national treasury of a collapsing nation.
He was that kind of mercenary.
‘… ‘It’s only been five days.’
It will all be over in just five days.
Elric said while thinking.
“Let’s go. “Didn’t you say that guests from other estates will be coming from tomorrow?”
“… Ah, yes. The princess also expressed her intention to attend.”
“Then I guess I should pay more attention to my appearance.”
“Oh, you’re dressed up.”
“hmm?”
“I would like to invite Director Dinan’s younger sister, who helped me at the last banquet, again. Could you please tell me?”
“I understand. “Let’s talk.”
“thank you. “It looks like there will be a lot of reporters this time.”
“There is so much interest in taking office as a rural lord.”
“I guess that means there are a lot of people who view it favorably.”
Hide your mind and pretend to be calm.
Anything that bothered me was pushed into a corner.
Gri Elric finished with five days left until the inauguration ceremony.
The next day, I visited Danal.
“I guess I should act like a younger sister. “Her wife likes your makeup.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
“… yes!”
I don’t know about Elric, but there was someone quite close by who had a distraught look that contrasted with Weibin’s liveliness.
‘Is this the rest of my life?’
Danal was filled with anxiety that the number of times he would have to dress up as a woman would increase significantly.
