The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 56

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

Iris and I sat next to one another in the rocking carriage. In front of us sat Eina and Mersche.

We were headed towards the Fenkol ward, where the Black Wolf Knight order was settled.

The travel took about three hours on the settled course.

It was decided that the first stop was to see the headquarters of the Black Wolf Knights.

Of course, any normal person was able to get to this premise as well.

The both of them, Eina and Mershe, were soldiers – They must’ve had many chances for battles and fights ever since they were young.

While we were traveling by carriage Iris and Eina were having a conversation.

“After we’re done visiting and seeing the headquarters I will have to head out for I have some places to be. Would that be a problem?”

“Aa, well we were also actually hoping to check on some places as well. So we were hoping we could talk about what to do and where to go.

After all, my objective here is to observe – We won’t be done with just this”

Eina looked rather sharp while speaking, and though she is a girl, she certainly does have some sense of intimidation.

Though she is cladded in black army clothes, she does have a conspicuous air about her.

Next to her was Mersche, who was calm and collected.

Iris and I were already done reading the same report that the two of them were reading.

…For these three days, we had to pay the utmost attention to what was going on.

The one that handled the carriage was also dispatched from out of the knight order, and while we drove my knights were also close by, acting as our escorts.

In the end, it was rather inconspicuous though – And that was noticeable for a girl like Eina.

“There is quite a lot of protection for me”

“Excuse us, but please let us do what we must”

“Fuu, not that I mind it in a bad way. In the end, the Swordsmaster Princess is escorting me all by herself. And what’s more..”

Eina looked at me briefly.

I responded with a smile, but she quickly looked away again. … Maybe she hates the fact that a child is with her as well.

(Or does she know that I am an escort as well? … Not that many people actually seem to notice that from the start)

I am used to the fact that people judge me by my appearance. After all, all you would see in me is that I am a child. If you’d only use your eyes that is.

Not even Eina would notice that I am actually the one that is responsible for this troupe of knights, right?

“…I’d want to say that this amount of escort isn’t needed, but I too know my value. If anything were to happen, that would be great trouble, wouldn’t it?”

“We’re glad that you do understand”

“Fu. That’s what you get when you have a status like mine. That being said, I want the number of escorts to be reduced”

“! Lady Eina!”

Mersche quickly opened her mouth, as to disdain what Eina had just said.

But, Eina put out her hand quickly, as if to stop her in return.

“I am planning to defend myself. Of course, I understand where you’re coming from too – But that is exactly why I want to lessen, as a compromise”

“That is…”

Iris quickly looked over to Alta. … Am I now supposed to choose whether that’s possible or not?

What Eina wants is to just move freely on her own, without all the knights there too.

And to be frank, she is a state visitor – I was originally going to increase the number of escorts far beyond this, but

(Well, if we could have a talk about me being here all the time….)

Though I really wanted to, I refrained from sighing on the spot and nodded instead.

If its a job that 10 of my knights should be able to do, then I alone would also be enough I figured.

Frankly said that is always how I do my work.

(For every knight that is sent away I have to take the load… Well, I would be able to take a special permit from the captain though.)

Well, that finishes that talk.

I decided that I would go and talk with the Order’s captain, Remyl, about what could be done about the escorts.

Would a fight suddenly break out though, that could be a problem, but not too much. 

My workload would increase significantly, but I should be able to handle it I think.

Iris nodded in my way and then responded to Eina’s request.

“Understood. We will make new arrangements in regards to the set up of the escorts when we reach the headquarters”

“You’re quick in understanding. Thank you. Well then, with this the Kingdom’s touri-“

“Lady Eina”

“…The Kingdom’s observation tour can commence”

(Did she actually want to say tourist tour?)

…With this, I understood that Eina wasn’t just a soldier, but also someone that acted rather age-appropriate.

That being said, the four of us were now headed towards the Black Wolf Knight Headquarters. During this whole time, no real trouble seemed to have emerged.
