The Strongest Gatekeeper – The Expelled Warrior With 9999 Defense Is Unmatched As The Gatekeeper Of

Hmmm. So you're going to be a knight too.

A mass tavern on the main street of the capital after the night book descended.

I was drinking with Haruna and Irene in the midst of the heat.

They were part of a party I used to belong to called Guren's Fangs. The city of Estor, the base of operations, has been destroyed by Nahat and has fled to this kingdom.

When the guards finished their work and I left the lockdown, I ran into both of them. I said that I would go for a drink with you from now on, so I accompanied you there.

Haruna asked about the latest situation and provided information as a knob for sake.

"Well, that's right." It will be more likely to leave the capital. "

"Sieg has been working for a long time." When I was a Guren's fang, no matter how many consecutive missions I took, I didn't say a single word of crying. "

"Irene, you were only crying, right?"

"Because it's tough. Missions can be dangerous, and traveling far away can be tiring." Zeke and Nahat have abnormal health. "

"We're in the vanguard." If you don't have the strength, you can't do it. So, what do you think? "

As usual, I teach magic school.

”Haruna replied.

"Are you getting used to the job?"

“Bumpy, but it's hard to teach people anything. I often want to throw a key because I can't do something as simple as this. When I became a teacher, I realized once again how talented I was."

Yes, I'm proud of Haruna's self-abuse ~

and Irene tea.

I smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but Haruna has always been a good caretaker." Isn't the students fond of you? "

"Well, questions often come up." I'll tell you exactly what I want. "

"I used to talk to my students when I met them." I'm worried about how I can teach you to properly understand it. "

"Well, that's just a job."

Tundere, no!

"Ugh, hurry up! You better find a job!"

"What, you haven't found a place to work yet?" If you don't mind, I'll help you find a place to work. "

Oi, oi, oi, oi. I'm not missing it, I'm just not trying to find it. "

"But it's been a long time since I've been to the capital." Living alone costs money. Were you able to save up for the adventurer era? "

"I was exhausted." When I casually tried to bet at the casino, I won a big win while I was there. "

"That's how I got enough money to play and live with." I have Irene, right? "

"I'm sure God is telling us." He says it's not time to work. I told you to heal yourself to get rid of the fatigue you had when you were an adventurer. "

There's no god that's convenient, right?

"Well, basically, there is a god for human convenience." Well, there must be a decent god in there, too.

Irene was smiling.

"I'm really shocked." because it's so messy. "

"But one talent is to stay unemployed forever."

I see. We're mentally strong.

"Sieg is too sweet for Irene, too tolerant."

Otherwise, I won't be the Captain of the 5th Squad.

"How many of your men are in trouble..."

I smiled bitterly at Haruna, who was dumbfounded, and suddenly murmured after getting my throat soaked with jock liquor.

If the Nahat guy were alive and living in the capital city, what kind of work would he have had?

It's impossible to do a proper job with a short-tempered, selfish guy, isn't it?

Is that a guardsman who can use his strength?

"Because I was the one who felt sorry if I wasn't the top." I find it difficult to work properly in an organization like Zeke. "

"Maybe Nahat had a vocation as an adventurer." But since there are no adventurer guilds in the capital, I'm going to have a hard time finding a job. "

"As long as you have the strength, you can do it as a guard even if you lack cooperation." In fact, many of my people are like that. "

If Spinoza is up to it, Nahat should be fine. He was a rough, but good man when we first met.

I imagine myself working with Nahat as a guard.

I'll be your shield as he rampages through the battlefield without the pain of a hindsight. After work, we laugh together and drink together.

It's a dream tale that immediately plays and disappears like a bubble floating on a brew.

Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time.

Hmm?

"When you were putting up Guren's fangs, you used to be a shield, didn't you?" Why didn't you tell us about this? "

That's right, I was also curious about that.

“If Zeke had known you were protecting us, you might not have been banished from the party.”

"Even if he had said it, he wouldn't have listened."

Nahat looked down on me. I didn't doubt that my thoughts were absolute. That's why my words must not have arrived.

"... well, that was highly probable." But I was hoping you could talk to me. Maybe we could have done something too. "

Haruna's smile was somewhat lonely.

If you think about it now, it looks like Nahat was brainwashed at that time.

Brainwashing or demons?

"No, it's not like I'm dealing with someone specific." It's like the air around you. Guren's fangs were said to be a party with great firepower. Since its reputation began to grow, Nakhat has become more focused on attack power. "

That's right.

"As the name of Guren's fangs rose, people began to expect it. Nahat will now take on a more challenging assignment than he is. It's not like Guren's fangs to accept a normal assignment."

"Ahh, you said that like a habit."

"But that's what the people around you said." Nahat went to match it with his own shape. I don't think she noticed. I acted desperately to avoid losing my reputation, my money and my position. ”

Nahat became violent when Guren's fangs became famous.

Nahat's firepower became a focus of attention as he became known as a party with incredible attack power. He looked down on me as a shield.

"In a sense, that's not like being brainwashed." The air around you, the system in this world that values status and money. Of course, the worst thing about the rampage is that it was the worst. I think we may have done something to solve Nahat's brainwashing problem recently. "

Haruna felt that she had spoken too much there. When she returned to me as if in a hurry, she smiled to pay attention to the sunken air.

"What, it's too late to say now?" I'm sorry, I forgot. It's my fault for all this liquor. "

"Maybe Haruna's right."

I leaned down and muttered to the bottom of the empty jock.

“You can't change others. I didn't say anything to him because I thought so. Because people only believe what they want to believe."

That's why I gave up on dialogue.

"When I joined the party, there were many quarrels, but at some point I stopped fighting..."

I said, looking at the past at the bottom of my free jacket.

"Maybe I should have broken my belly and talked to him more." Even if it's a big fight. "

…………

"Hey, what's getting dark?" Nahat said it, too. He said he won't forgive anyone who looks like he's having sex at the drinks table. "

Irene said that,

"Excuse me!" Three extra brews! "

And I began to ask the clerk who was near me in a cheerful voice.

Looking back at us, dumbfounded, Irene smiled discouraged, as warm as a bubble-free ale.

As a punishment for making this place white, it's a treat for both of us today.

Haruna and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Nahat used to say that. I have to forgive the man who looks like he's done at a drinking party. If he had been here, he would have been angry.

Thanks to the brightness of Irene, the dark fog that had surrounded us before was completely clear.
