When we get back to the guards' lockup, we'll head to the commander's office to report back to Bolton. I don't know how I grew up as an adventurer and wasn't confident in my manners, but I'd knock.

Oh, come in.

When I heard the voice, I opened the door.

In the commander's office, there was the commander of the guard regiment with a strong body like a rock mountain, Bolton, and another unusual figure here.

"It's unusual for you to come here, Eleanor."

Hair that stretches up to waist height feels the strength of the core.

Wearing the Knights' silver armor, Eleanor looked at me with a snowy smile.

"Oh, Zeke, since yesterday in my dreams."

"Even if you say so, I don't know because I haven't seen you."

"Fufu, you're cold." But that kind of exasperating attitude is addicting. If you take a position, you won't be treated unhindered. "

Congratulations on becoming the Knight Commander, by the way.

Gregor, the head of the Knights Regiment, retired after a rebellion, leaving Eleanor, the deputy head of the regiment, to take his place.

In the long history of the Knights, it seemed unusual that Eleanor was young.

"Thank you, but I can't be honest with you." My predecessor rebelled and took office in the process. Originally, I was going to stop the leader of the regiment. By defeating Gregor with strength. "

"However, it is no different that you have been recognized by the people around you and have taken the seat." I think it would be nice to stretch my chest even harder. "

When I said that, Eleanor covered her mouth with her hands.

"What's wrong? Freeze."

"Sieg said something encouraging to me...!?" I wonder if this is a far-fetched proposal...! "

“No, it's too much to interpret.”

What part of the speech sounded like a proposal.

“Externally, Gregor was supposed to have been martyred to protect his country. To reassure the people of the city, the new commander must do his best."

“Yeah, but don't worry. Even if you become the leader of the regiment, your feelings as a woman who thinks of Zeke will not change. As usual, let's stay connected with the honeymoon."

"No, I'm not worried, and I don't remember having such a relationship in the first place"

The Bolton who was watching us interact opened his mouth there.

"Well, it's a pleasure for us to have Eleanor as head of the regiment." Unlike Gregor, it's easy to work together. "

The Knights of Gregor's generation put royalty and nobility first, and looked down on the Guards, as though they were not working together.

But Eleanor is thinking of the entire kingdom, including its citizens. If she were the head of the Knights, she would be a little reformed.

“Speaking of which, why is Eleanor in this cache?”

Of course, it's because I wanted to meet you, but I had a consultation with Commander Bolton.

Consultation?

"When Gregor's idiot rebelled, he would have let the Knights run wild with demon blood." A lot of knights were wounded. Now the Knights are in a state of unprecedented shortage of manpower. "

Bolton gave us an overview of what we were talking about before we got here.

"Even so, we don't have talent in the capital." There are no adventurer guilds in this city, so the role of adventurer is played by knights. "

"In the current state, the demons, monsters, and evil people will do good." So, ashamed, I came to ask the Guards for help. "

"Our guards are only guarding this king's city, right?" I want you to work with the Knights to ensure the security of the entire country. "

The Knights and Guards have different jurisdictions.

The main task of the guards is to guard this royal capital, Astalotto, but the Knights are directly under the authority of the royal family and are responsible for guarding the entire country.

Guarding bridges and customs posts, or going on expeditions to crush monsters when their villages are damaged in the Kingdom.

“If you join the 5th Squad, which was very active in previous battles, I think the anxiety of the people will be alleviated a little bit.”

Eleanor said.

"I want you heroes to be the light of hope in this country."

"Hah, it's not going to be like that to raise your responsibilities." Even if we take on the Knights' work, our cheap pay won't go up. "

Spinoza throws it up first. The quick reaction to the gold bill is real.

"Even heroes can't live without eating like that." Also, I don't have the money to gamble with alcohol. "

“A guy like you doesn't even try to hide his lowlife,” Pham says. But I think I agree with that opinion myself.

But if everyone in the country is in trouble, shouldn't we take it on?

"Seira is sweet." People like you can't get rid of their butt hairs even if they use it a lot. "

"Wait! Unlike Spinoza, I don't have any hair on my ass."

"Even I'm not growing!" Even so! It's not a good idea to take on anything! It doesn't come with a proper price! "

Eleanor opened her mouth in response to Spinoza's words.

"Of course, I'm thinking about that." I hung up with the king and installed him so that the guards could give him a bonus. "

Yo, bonus?

As soon as she heard the four letters, Spinoza's ears twitched and her attitude changed. It seemed that she had ears to listen to the change after hitting her earlier.

"Chi, by the way, how much is that...?"

Yeah, it's pretty much--

Spinoza whispered in Eleanor's ear, "-!?” He changed the color of his eyes.

Oh, really?

"Yeah, I'm serious."

………………

After freezing for a while, Spinoza really coughs up...

"No! If the Knights are in trouble, we can't leave them alone!" Shhhh! Let's help you! "

"It's so refreshing." There's plenty of cash, "I said in amazement.

"Spinoza has a lot of money for gambling and drinking." I wonder if you're willing to sell your soul to the devil as long as it's loaded with money. "

“Don't be silly, I'm not that cheap,” Spinoza said. "If you sell your soul to the devil, you won't get ten gold coins."

It's cheap enough, so don't sell it in the first place.

Spinoza-san! I think it's a wonderful mood!

Ceyla was the only one who was honestly impressed when Fum and I were dazed. You think it was purely for the sake of everyone in the country, not the bonus.

The Boltons look me in the eye.

“Zeke, what do you think? Let me know what you think."

“You should take it. If the Knights alone can't protect the country."

"I agree with you." Although we guards and knights have been in conflict, we are comrades who protect this country and the orb of light. "

"Thank you for your help." Together, we can help protect this country. That way, the demons won't be afraid. "

Bolton grabbed Eleanor's hand back. Until now, those who opposed each other joined hands for a common purpose.

This country is beginning to change for the better, little by little.

I felt that way.

Well, here's what I'll do.

"Oh, thank you for taking the time to come."

"Fufu. From now on, when I think about working with Zeke, I can't stop sniffing my face."

Eleanor's footsteps were light as she left the brigade leader's office.

I mumbled to my nose, and I was about to start skipping.

Bolton laughs as he strokes his beard when he can't see Eleanor.

The new Knight Lord seems to be obsessed with you.

"Haa..."

"Why don't you just hang out?" If we can trap Eleanor, it will be easier for the Guards to understand their intentions. "

"I don't want to use other people's romantic feelings for political purposes."

“I thought you'd say that. Seriously. But why don't we just leave politics alone? You don't have a specific opponent right now, do you?"

Yeah, well.

"You're not going to make it, are you?"

"I'm a guard." It doesn't matter when you kick it. If they do, they'll have a hard time. ”

I decided from the moment I decided to become an adventurer that I would not want the happiness of a human being anymore than I had always been in a back-to-back position with death.

But sometimes you can do your best because you have someone important.

Does the leader have a family?

"No, I'm good at it." I loved my family too much. Now I don't even know where my wife and daughter are. "

"It's not persuasive."

and Spinoza say in a daze.

"Really? I still have to quit being the leader of this fucking pile because I believe my daughter-in-law and daughter are doing well somewhere." I want to protect a world where they can live in peace. It seems like you're continuing to do just that kind of thing. "

Who the fuck is that? Come on.

Spinoza said that,

"I think it would be easier not to have a belt." Hey, Zeke? Then you can have all kinds of fun with all kinds of women. "

I said, "Stop fitting your measure into me." I don't know why it's a man's opinion.

"What's a paco? What's a paco?"

I don't think Seira should know.

When Fumu suggested so, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "... Spinoza, you lack character after all."

I totally agreed on that.
