The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 117

After we took a short break on top of the lighthouse Iris and I started climbing down.
We then met up with Remyl who was waiting on us.

“First of all, I want to say that you’ve done a good job. As expected from my most trusted knight”
“This time I only toppled one foe. It was really Iris who did the hard work”
“I-I didn’t…”
Iris was blushing from embarrassment after she heard what I said. She’s really not that accustomed to getting compliments yet.
Remyl stood before Iris.

“Lady Reinfell. It might be true that you have actually saved us this time. However, I have to ask you to refrain from bringing yourself into such dangerous positions. In the end, you have come out unscathed, but you’re only a student. And also a candidate for the crown.
“That is… I am sorry”
Iris seemed like she wanted to dispute what Remyl was saying but then left it at an apology.
Iris’s behavior was indeed quite dangerous.
I could only praise her as her master.
But perhaps she needed to be reprimanded for it as well.
You could say that Remyl took that responsibility onto herself.
I was taking care of the lighthouse and its vicinity, whilst the other knights got deplored elsewhere.
Due to the fact that there are still two Swordsman Gang members roaming about, we have to remain cautious.
And aside from me, only Remyl is properly able to deal with them.
Iris seemed like she was a bit depressed.
Remyl left out a small sigh and put up a smile, facing Iris.

“However, I am glad that you’re safe…”
“Oh… Eh… Thank you”
Iris seemed a tad bit surprised.
It seemed that Remyl was actually concerned about Iris.
… Iris’ father, Garlo Reinfell, used to be Remyl’s superior.
Therefore Remyl herself too is concerned with Iris.

“Captain, what happened to Ruino?”
“She hasn’t woken up yet. We’ll confine first, and then take her to the Kingdom. Your duties have been fulfilled”
“…? But there are still two members of the Swordsman Gang left”
“Oh, that issue—”
“Iris”
As I was talking with Remyl I heard a voice call out from a little bit further away.
Alia came up to us.

“Alia—Waa!?”
Alia then leaped onto Iris’ chest hugging her tightly.
Iris lost her balance and seemed to be falling over, but she regained her power and managed to stay upright.
As Alia was still clinging to her she started patting her head gently.

“I am sorry. I must’ve made you worry”
“…Yes, you did. But, I knew that you and Mr. Schweiss would pull through. I believed in you”
Alia said as she pressed her face onto Iris’ chest.
I managed to confirm what had happened from on top of the lighthouse.
Alia managed to use all of her strength to protect her fellow classmate, Minei Lotto.
I have to thank her for that.

“What happened to Lotto?”
“She’s still resting in the lodge. She didn’t get hurt”
“Well, that’s a relief”
“Iris did get hurt”
“I am quite alright. Just a bit – No, very tired”
“When we get back I will give you a massage”
“Really? Thanks!”
“Lady Reinfell, first you will need to pay the relief team a visit to check your wounds. Alia, I will leave lady Reinfell’s care to you”
“Ooh, alright. Mr. Schweiss, tell me about what happened later on please”
“Alright, I will. But first, go and see if her wounds can get healed first, please”
Together with Alia’s help, Iris headed towards the medical ward and the relief team.
But the fact that there are still two Swordsman Gang members roaming about is something Iris is also aware of.
Perhaps she wanted to come and ask about that very situation in the first place. Which could be the reason she was heading towards the lighthouse as well.
I once again spoke with Remyl who was also still here.

“About what you just said, what do you mean my duty has been fulfilled?”
“Aah, just a short while back I got in contact with a different Knights Order”
“… A different order?”
“Well, originally the Black Wolves Knights Order – Mainly you, were in charge of this town. You were targeted by the Swordsman Gang and they seemed to reside here. At least, that was the information we received. However, as I told you in the very beginning, the other Knights Orders too have business to finish with the Swordsman Gang. And so the remaining two members of the Swordsman Gang have been dealt with by one of their knights”
“!Is that so?”
When I heard this I was honestly a bit surprised.
It seems that in the end, only three Swordsman Gang members came to this town.
Consequently, the moment I finished off Riglus was the moment the Swordsman Gang was done for as a whole. However,

“Is it that surprising? The fact that another Knights Order dealt with the Swordsman Gang”
Remyl said.
I nodded and answered.

“Yes. Surely, I am sure that the captains of the Five Orders wield more than enough power, at least enough to deal with the Swordsman Gang. However, … I figure it’d be quite severe to deal with even one of them”
Remyl felt the same.
It was her and our knight’s duty to make sure that they could not make a move any longer. And in the end, the remaining Swordsman Gang members would be coming for me.
So by thinking that you’d think that I’d be the one to kill them all, but…

“I too was, quite honestly, surprised. The fact that a single knight was able to deal with them on their own. I never knew that the other Orders had such a knight in their ranks”
“On their own you say. Well, that honestly saves us quite some time. I mean, it means my duty’s been fulfilled”
“Yea. It’s quite good to know that the Kingdom’s strength is in such a good place… Is what I should say”
It seemed that Remyl had something on her mind worth thinking about.

“Is there something wrong?”
“…Yes, actually. It feels like you don’t really care much for the Knights Order. Maybe we should have a talk about this. After all, it also concerns Lady Reinfell as well”
“Iris?”
“That’s right. As you might’ve guessed, the Black Wolf Knights’ priority is the protection of Lady Reinfell. And that’s not because she falls into the boundaries that we have to protect, but because she’s the very thing that we must protect”
Remyl said.
What she was trying to say was rather clear.
After all, the Escort Knights Order, who protect the palace and its people, are also the group that once supported Zeil Tyrock.
