Something was odd.

From noble mtl dot com

How could this be?

I wondered if there really was malice in the world towards me.

Mainly in a bullying direction.

I couldn’t help but think that way as I watched Scarlett and the five children say hello to each other.

I thought that someday others would discover the existence of the five children.

I had already informed Irina, and I often asked Irina to take care of me while I was away.

But in this way, I never thought it would be caught by Scarlett first.

It was not an intentional meeting, so I was even more confused about how to explain the circumstances.

Can’t we honestly say that we are being raised as assassins to destroy the Dark Truth Church?

Especially, that was the reason why he couldn’t reveal it to Rize yet.

No matter how bad the Dark Truth Church was, the ways of the five children and I were not acceptable to Rize.

“So, what relationship do you guys have with Irvin?”

I thought you were going to ask me that question.

I watched from a little distance, but I couldn’t stand it anymore and approached to block Scarlett’s way.

“Don’t ask the kids about that, ask me.”

“Anyway, seniors won’t give you a proper answer, won’t you?”

“… … .”

Is there such a thing as disbelief?

I pulled Scarlett by the wrist and, after keeping some distance from the children, explained the general circumstances in a low voice.

“These are the children we saved during the commission. I lost my parents too, so I had no choice but to protect them. But I couldn’t bring them all home, so I left it to someone I had a relationship with.”

“Hmm, I don’t think you’re lying… … .”

I certainly didn’t lie.

Who would you lie in front of? Because she had an unusually good sense, she presented only the truth that could be presented.

Also, with a story like this, it would be difficult to dig further than this.

“But I can’t just leave it alone, so I come here to look after the children from time to time. Since today is a festival soon, I came to give you some pocket money to have fun. That’s why I won’t let you go if you say strange things to Rize.”

“Hey, is that Red Riding Hood?”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

“It is nothing. There is such a story.”

I couldn’t remember at the moment, so I asked again, but I vaguely remembered what I had read in a book.

The main character, a little girl, lost her parents when she was young, but thanks to the support of a man who always wears a red cloak, she grows up to be an adult. But soon the news of Little Red Riding Hood is cut off.

The main character, who was desperately looking for the uncle, finally succeeded in reuniting, but the uncle was dying from an illness. In his last will, the uncle revealed the truth that he caused the protagonist’s parents to die because of his mistake, and the protagonist sincerely forgave such an uncle, and the uncle relieved his burden and closed his eyes comfortably… … was a story.

… … No, according to this story, it seems like I killed the parents of those children.

I glared at Scarlett, who made an rude analogy, but Scarlett was approaching the children again before I knew it.

“What’s your relationship with your uncle? Are you a lover?”

“… … .”

This time, that side was the problem.

Claire’s question gave me a headache, and Scarlett paused slightly before answering.

“We are senior and junior in the same mercenary industry. It is also very very friendly.”

“My daughter’s teacher’s son. Nothing more, nothing less.”

“Wow, a sword that draws a line so ruthlessly? Isn’t that too much, senior?”

“What if it’s true?”

As I was roughly ignoring Scarlett’s rebuttal, the eyes of the children who had been flocking to her turned to me.

“Then are you strong?”

It was Frederick who seemed natural to ask such a question.

However, the other children also took turns looking at Scarlett and me, as if they were not not interested.

To him, I nodded lightly and replied.

“Not strong. He’s an A-rank mercenary like me, and he’s about to undergo an S-rank review. No, was it right? I don’t know what will happen because I always put it off.”

“Ah, this time it’s a real S-class?! When that time comes, prepare to call me senior.”

As I was overhearing the nonsense, the children who were still making faces of not knowing said one word at a time.

“Even if it’s A-level… … .”

“I’m not sure how strong it is.”

“Even if it’s an A-class mercenary, only you know that.”

“And you look weaker than you.”

“Sister, you are really strong… … ?”

Suspicious glances poured in and Scarlett twitched the corners of her mouth, which was rare.

Scarlett had been told that she was a promising talent since she was young, so the blow from such innocent questions must be even greater.

At that moment, Scarlett saw Hazel standing far behind the children.

After thinking for a moment, he lightly jumped and walked towards Hazel.

“Old man! Please help me with something.”

“… … What do you mean?”

Hazel didn’t like it at all, but it seemed like she was willing to accept it because she saw the children. Or maybe it was my guest.

Scarlett pulled out the sword with the scabbard and spoke to Hazel with a smile.

“There is a stone next to it. You can throw it at me with all your might. Keep throwing until I say stop. yes? Let me ask you a favor.”

“uh… … .”

It was Delan who made a sound as if he was embarrassed by the words.

It was because it was a request that the future could be drawn without even looking at it. The other children also looked at Scarlett with a slightly pitiful look, but Scarlett only smiled confidently.

In other words, he must be dreaming of a wonderful image of intercepting flying stones. In addition, he would ask the children to throw and show the appearance of blocking them all.

however… … I chose the wrong person to ask for a favor.

“Hmm, I might get hurt, are you okay?”

“Ah, don’t worry. Even if the elders don’t worry, one body is strong.”

“Well, if so.”

you’d better ask me

Even if I did, I wouldn’t have listened to it, but it would be better than the future that will shut up soon.

With pitiful eyes, I pictured the pitiful future that would soon happen.

Hazel bent down and slowly grabbed the stone, and Scarlett stood up the sword wrapped in the sheath and waited with a relaxed attitude.

And Hazel’s arm swung.

“evil?!”

It wasn’t such a big stone, so there was no sound of something breaking, but Scarlett’s body staggered as the stone stuck in her side.

The problem is, even in the middle of it, Hazel continues to throw stones.

“evil! Oh no! what a stone! Aww! How, if you throw ?! Ahh!”

Scarlett, who was repeatedly hit by the stone throws that followed, managed to endure it with her body without shouting, “It’s enough,” and managed to bounce one stone away.

“Oh, blocked.”

“It must be a coincidence.”

“Isn’t that a coincidence?!”

Scarlett responded vigorously to the children’s words, and her eyes burned.

It was quite a bit of pride.

Hazel was constantly throwing stones as if stones were springing up from somewhere, but if you look closely, it was all skill.

At the same time as Hazel threw the stone, she moved slightly sideways and circled around Scarlet as if drawing a large circle. All stones along the line become throwing weapons.

In addition, it was not easy to catch because it was a total set of throwing techniques, such as aiming for the opponent’s blind spot or throwing the two together at the same time.

Still, should I say Scarlett? At first, I just kept getting hit, but now the number of hits has increased quite a bit.

It looked like a tense confrontation, so the children were also immersed with their eyes sparkling. Hazel’s intention to show the kids her skills worked. It may have been a fun sight, but the children seemed to have learned something.

“Hmm, you worked hard.”

Finally, when there were no stones left to throw around, Hazel licked her lips and declared the end.

Scarlett panted and caught her breath, then took a stride and put her face in front of me.

“What about that old man?! No, what kind of stone did you throw like that?! Where is the stone-throwing master hiding away?!”

“Honestly, I thought I was going to beg you to end it, but I’m glad.”

“If you knew, I’ll warn you in advance! Where will it go?!”

“You have to take responsibility for the things you did rashly.”

Scarlett, unable to find words to refute, stomped her feet with a sound of resentment, then turned her head away.

So why would you ask a stern person to do such a thing?

“Sister, you are really strong.”

“Did you block half of it?”

“Even if… … I didn’t fall.”

“The bounce movement was also fast.”

“I think you’re weaker than Uncle.”

Scarlett was depressed, but thanks to the children’s praise, she stood up again and smiled confidently.

No, but why are you doing this?

I had an intuition that if I got caught up in this anymore, I would be dragged around by Scarlett, so I stepped in front of the children and said what I was originally going to say.

“Does everyone know that the contest will be held in Findel from the day after tomorrow?”

“yes!”

strong answer.

In addition, everyone’s eyes were shining as if they knew what I was going to say.

I smiled and took the pouch out of my pocket and handed it to Rowen.

“During the festival, take a break and enjoy a lot of fun things. I put in enough pocket money so you can spend enough. Take the stubborn old man over there with you.”

“Wow!”

“Mister, the best!”

“thank you!”

Each of the children grabbed the hem of my clothes or my forearm and jumped around, unable to hide their delight.

It was very satisfying to see the kids, who were so serious during training, show their childish side at times like this.

In that way, he talked to the children one by one and informed them about the competition. I didn’t even say that Rize would come out.

I wanted to talk a little more, but I had to send Scarlett, who was watching closely from behind, so I decided to finish it roughly.

“Play with us at the festival, mister!”

“Okay, I’ll take a moment.”

I patted Claire on the head as she looked up at me one last time, then turned and headed towards Scarlett.

“I’m saying this just in case, but don’t tell Rize.”

“Isn’t this an opportunity to brag to Rize that you’re a great dad?”

“Because I feel like I’m comparing them to each other. That’s why I don’t even tell those kids about Rize.”

“Hmm, looking at things like this, it seems like you really like kids.”

At that, I laughed out loud.

He is just a person who raised a child for a purpose and started taking care of it. If I said that I like children, that would be a funny thing.

“I don’t hate it.”

So that was all I could say.

But Scarlett looked closely at my face and made a strange noise.

“Hmm, it doesn’t look like that kind of person at all.”

“yes?”

“Well, I’ll do something like that.”

I didn’t know what he was talking about, so I asked back, but Scarlett smiled and went ahead, looking back at me.

“I want to go see Lizena soon.”

She was so selfish as always.

The finals of the swordsmanship competition finally arrived.

Due to the guests who came to watch the contest, Findel was greeted with unprecedented success.

The streets were more than twice as crowded as usual, and stalls selling stimulating food and cheap souvenirs were set up here and there.

The rumor that the emperor would visit on the day of the finals stirred up the whole of Findel.

If Lord Findel saw this scene, it was clear that he would definitely try to make it an even bigger festival next year.

At the training ground of the Shureid Imperial School, which will be the center of the festival next year, the participants in the art contest were busy creating works.

In the arena next to it, a magic contest, a cooking contest, and a swordsmanship contest are held sequentially.

It was definitely the swordsmanship competition that attracted people’s attention.

Among them, I couldn’t help but have high expectations for the first match and the last match, but as expected, they were located on the opposite side, probably to have Rize and Patrick meet in the final.

Thus, it was decided that Patrick would compete in the first match and Lize would each compete in the final match.

and… … .

Even when the time came, Rize did not show up at the arena.
