“Mr. Schweiss.”

“Yes?”

“I’m bored.”

“Haha, it’s not that I am just staying without purpose.”

I found myself talking with Alia who looked bored. It’s true that I’m not here because I have anything special to do. Of course, if nothing happens, I would just wait for the time to pass. Having said that, I couldn’t just lie down and wait, so I kept my eyes firmly on the mansion. However, there was no sign of anything happening. There are a few knights a short distance from the building we are at. They are not “ the Knights of the Black Wolf “, but ” the Holy Armour Knights Order “. It is not strange that there are knights from the other side because this place is right on the border as far as the jurisdiction of the knights is concerned, I was a little concerned after hearing from Remyl about the power struggle that had already begun to unfold, even though they are knights of the same country. This might be an exaggeration, however, I have no interest in power struggles at all. In this regard, it would be probably a good thing that I belonged to the Knights of the Black Wolf. At the very least, Remyl is not a person who tries to gain power for personal gain. If the other knights’ captains feel the same way, it might still be better.

(If that were the case, it would be ironic to have a power struggle anyway.)

” Mr. Schweiss, what’s up?”

“Oh, no, I was just thinking about …… some things.

 “No, you can’t. You’re Iris’s escort, you should concentrate.”

 “You’re right, but recently Iris has been getting stronger.”

 “You’re just going to leave it to Iris, aren’t you?

“No way.”

Alia has good intuition. I laughed it off. However, Alia’s words are not wrong.

I don’t want to push her too hard, of course, but it’s become a way of thinking for me recently to let her do what she can.

Well, if I tell Remyl or Alia about this idea, they will no doubt tell me to play the role of an escort.

…… Iris might be pleased on the contrary, though. Of course, I’m not going to leave it to her just to please Iris or to make things easier for me.

If Iris has the opportunity to grow, I’m thinking of ways to take advantage of it. It seems to me that the events she is involved in tend to be crucial though.

In that sense, Alia, who is standing next to me, is also the type of person who can easily get involved in many issues. In particular, now that Eina and Melsy have also come to the kingdom.

 “By the way, Alia, you spoke with Melsy the other day, don’t you?”

“Yeah, she said that she visited me just because she was nearby by chance.”

” ‘By chance,’ she said? Didn’t she tell you about her reasons for coming to the kingdom?”

“No, not really. She asked me about my life here, about my school, and about you.”

“About me?”

” About your hobbies and what you like. I was asked those questions, but come to think of it, I don’t know much about them either.”

“Well, I don’t have many hobbies.”

“How about fighting?”

“I’m a pacifist.”

“You don’t sound very convincing. You’re so strong.”

“I don’t think strength is equal to beliefs. My strength is as you know it..”

“Do you mean to say that it’s because you are the former swordmaster? It is true that you are as strong as anyone. I’m confident too – I mean, I was, but there’s no way I can beat you.”

“That’s not true. You and Iris are both highly skilled for your age. To be honest, you’re much stronger than I am.”

“I don’t want to be strong for someone else like Iris.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Alia denied my words. I’ve never heard her talk about dreams like Iris.

“Do you want to become a knight?”

“I don’t know. To be honest, I’m not really interested.” 

“That’s surprising. I thought that since Iris wanted to become a knight, you would join her.” 

“I plan to be always with Iris, of course. But I don’t think knight or anything like that is for me. My skills are in killing and espionage.” 

“I see. But there are such units for knights, too.”

“Yes, I know.”

 “But you’re not interested, right?”

“I’d like to do something to support Iris.”

“I see. I hope you find something you want to do.”

When I said this, Alia wrinkled her brow slightly.

” …… Is this my career advice or something? Here is not a school.”

“But I’m your teacher.”

“Then you’ll do whatever I ask?”

 “That’s not what a teacher is for, though, is it? But if I can make it happen, I’ll do it.”

“I think it’s something only you could do.”

“What is it?”

 “I want you to make me stronger than Iris.”

Alia clearly expressed her wish. Her expression was serious and without hesitation. I can clearly see that it is a strong wish. I kind of get why such a wish would be made.

“More than Iris?”

“Yes. I just realized it when I was talking to you. I don’t have any dreams or interests in the future, but I know what I want to do. I will protect Iris. Then I have to become stronger than Iris. And more than you.”

“You’re right.”

This is the first time that Alia said so clearly that she wanted to become stronger. Originally, her only purpose would have been to accompany Iris in her training, but now she wants to become stronger on her own. I think this is a sign of her growth.

“Of course, not only stronger than Iris but also stronger than you.”

“‘Earlier you gave up on the idea that you could beat me.”

“You said that I was stronger than you. I trust you. It made me feel stronger. And if Iris protects everyone, then I will protect Iris. This is what I want. What do you think?”

“If that’s what you want to do, I’ll support you.”

 “Let’s practice, then.”

Alia said that and took out a dagger from her pocket. It’s not a …… mock sword, but simply her favorite weapon.

“‘No, I’m at work. Besides, you’re the one who told me to focus on being an escort, remember?”

 “…… Indeed. I’ll see you when this is over.”

When Alia was about to put her weapon back in her pocket, she suddenly swung backward and took a stance. I had also noticed that someone was approaching here.

“…… who?”

“Students these days have gotten quite dangerous. Or is that the result of your teaching, First Class Officer, Alta Schweitz?”

 “…… Captain Heiron Stilletto.”

The man who came before me was the man in charge of the neighboring district.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
