67 – A Knight’s Oath
The news of the duel between me and Citrin not only spread throughout the academy within a day, but also made a huge advertisement on the academy side.
Indeed, how many people would not be interested in the news that the head of the academy would fight between the warrior and duke, the heirs of the marquess family?
[If ‘I don’t want to sleep with men’ digs deeper, he orders a popcorn, saying it’s a battle between warriors vs. warriors.]
[‘Firemeong is fun’ puts corn and butter on top of the brazier for firemeup, saying that if I don’t kill it, I think I’ll be able to enjoy it myself, so I donate 500 coins.]
“Are you going to kill me?”
No, why not kill me?
I insulted my family, and I personally don’t like it. I’m a bit concerned about the title of hero, but if he dies, another hero will be born anyway.
it’s not my part time job
“What… I need to prepare, so shall we visit there after a long time?”
[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ asked where I was going.]
“lake.”
*****
After a long time, the lake was a really peaceful sight.
[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ is sarcastic, saying that it would have been a much better environment if it weren’t for the traces of something far away.]
“Uh huh, be quiet!”
I still have to make another hole like that.
Gather the mana of the whole body and prepare the spear of magic by slightly tweaking the point where I made it last time.
“Sleep!”
“yes?”
While I was preparing to shoot the spear of magic, I stopped my arm at the urgent voice I heard from behind and looked back. A small fairy rushed at me…?
“Huh!!!”
Disrupts the magical power of the hand and extends both hands to block the charging fairy with both hands.
Fain!
this crazy… I think I would have broken my ribs if I hadn’t stopped it.
The fairy in front of his eyes loosened his slightly throbbing hand. As I looked down at Vivian, Vivian blushed and screamed at me.
“You crazy bastard!! The repairs to the house were just finished yesterday!!!!!”
Ah, saying that makes me feel a bit guilty.
“Is it?”
“It was!!”
By the way, among the hikikomori, if you are a hikikomori, Vivian, you’re not the type to come out just because your room is broken, so why are you here?
“Vivian~!! Where did you run away!!”
“Hee!”
When I heard Spear’s voice from afar, Vivian shuddered and hid behind me.
“what’s the matter?”
“Ah, the devil is coming… .”
“Devil?”
I wanted to say something for a moment, but Vivian had two books in her hands.
[The standard of mathematics]
[Collection of 1,000 Math Problems]
“ah.”
You can call this a demon.
“Could it be that the reason you were out was because of the Spear?”
Vivian nodded at my words and hid behind me more and more. Somehow, these days, I couldn’t find it even when I went to the library, but it must have been because Vivian was there.
“Then let’s make a deal.”
“… I’ll listen.”
At my words, Vivian’s eyes are filled with determination.
If I can avoid the spear, I hand over the list of items I have prepared with a smile in my eyes that will give me even my soul.
“One or two of these… If you save me, I’ll tell Spear well.”
As soon as I heard that, Vivian took the memo from my hand and opened her eyes wide as she began reading through the items I had prepared.
“Earrings with ancient runes… Are you okay with this? A bodhi tree leaf soaked in dragon’s blood. This is a bit ambiguous. And the fairy’s tears… . Are you planning on doing some kind of alchemy?”
“A lot of words. If you procrastinate like that, you might get caught by Spear?”
Vivian’s eyes widened at those words, and she urgently threw her earring at me.
“It’s an earring with ancient runes written on it! Find the effect on your own and fulfill the contract!!!”
“Good. A contract is established.”
Saying that, I slung Vivian’s body on my shoulders like a burden and slowly walked in the direction of Spear’s voice.
Vivian shouts at what she is doing, but there is one thing she needs to know.
“I never said I would help you?”
I’ve been through a lot with you too, get a taste of math!
After that, rumors spread that women’s cries and screams could be heard every day in the forest where Vivian’s lake was located.
[‘Film fun’ looks at you as if he’s seen the devil and shakes his head.]

“… Seriously, was it me who came after being dumped by Prin and Lian?”
“Yes, Zenobia-sensei. you… You said you belonged to the Imperial Knights Division, right?”
The gaze of the man in front of you scans your entire body.
I’m used to that kind of gaze itself, so there’s no problem, but I can’t believe that a man like that is a hero.
“But what’s the matter?”
“No, I’m also going to be a hero from now on… Shouldn’t there be some ties with the knights of the empire?”
While saying that, Citrine put her hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear.
“Tell me some information about the articles you know. Which bitch is the strongest, who likes what, or… What kind of bitch rolls her body.”
In an instant, swearing rose up to his throat. I take a slow, deep breath, calm myself down, and stare at Citrine’s face.
The original version isn’t bad. However, the meanly torn eyes and corners of the mouth gave off a strangely villainous impression, and if you only looked at the eyes, they were uglier than any other men I had seen in Changgwan.
“go away. I won’t talk too much.”
“Ah, that’s too naive… Will it be okay for the hero?”
Didn’t Lee Ja-sik say that he was beaten by Lian?
But what the hell are you thinking that you are sticking to me like this? I didn’t even think that Lian would save me in the first place… Unless you’re a bit of an idiot like me, you’ll come to your senses if you get hit properly.
“Ah, come to think of it, you were from the same family as me, right? family name… Apiliano? Was it?”
“But what is it?”
“You, too, do not intend to end up as the daughter of a marquis, do you? Shouldn’t you at least be the head of the duke’s family?”
Says something really funny.
No matter how brave he is, what an individual can do is limited. And become a duke family? It’s certainly an attractive proposition, but we don’t need it anymore.
Even if a bitch like me becomes the head of the duke’s family, there’s no way I can properly lead the family properly.
The end of my life has been decided.
After a few years of hard work and saving money, I will buy a shack in a lonely village and live as a normal villager, not a prostitute, a homeless person, or a beggar.
My sins are sins that must be atoned.
But even so, if you continue to stay by Lian’s side, you will become a hindrance to Lian. He no longer intends to live as a warrior and a hero.
You don’t even love me, you probably hate me.
Then shouldn’t you at least do what Lian originally wanted?
save people Even if it’s just a village, I’m going to make atonement, not atonement, by protecting the people there. If others see it, they may point fingers at it, but this is the only Atonement I can think of with my humble mind.
A hero, reducing the news that a village was destroyed because of Lian, who did not become a hero.
I want to be as invisible as possible in Lian’s eyes… It will be the only atonement that can be made.
“How about an answer?”
“refuse. In the first place, I’m only a knight, but I’m not an outstanding person enough to lead the current Afiliano family. But dreaming of a duke’s family… There is a degree to even a futile dream.”
“I have no ambition. You can’t do something you can’t do if you don’t start, right?”
“That’s what happens when the damage only goes to oneself. If someone like you becomes the head of the duchy, I’m worried about the people under him.”
Citrin’s face was distorted when he openly sneered at him.
That’s enough to react like that to just one word… I really don’t have any qualities.
“In the first place, do you really think that someone like you will be able to subdue the demon lord with all your heart?”
“What bullsh*t. Now that I’ve become a hero, it’ll be solved if I just cut down the demon king with a single knife.”
… What is this asshole really talking about?
I saw Lian catching the demon 3 times in my memory.
In the first battle, Lian was also inexperienced, so he fought and defeated the demon king without sleeping for five days.
The second fight, unlike the last one, ended in just three days. There was hardly anything that Lian could call a fatal injury, and although it looked a bit like a serious injury, it was enough to quickly recover with the hero’s divine power.
And the long-awaited third.
It was a one-sided fight. The demon king’s attack was offset by Lian’s magical power of destruction, and the light of the holy sword burned the demon king’s skin and killed him in an instant.
It was so overwhelmingly strong that no one like me could interfere.
“… like you?”
I don’t even want to see Lian in the third life. But a guy who seems to give up because he couldn’t even imitate half of Lian’s half in the first one will catch the demon lord?
From my point of view, he is a guy who would run away in fear just by meeting the Demon King’s henchmen.
Citrine, who blushed at my words, shouted at me and left without saying a single word.
“If you defeat Lian Primal, I will come to kill you first! wait!!”
… . I wonder if I will be able to come alive.
As I watched Citrine disappear into the distance, I immediately went back to the training ground and began swinging my sword while warming up.
Even if you save a village, shouldn’t you save it properly?
Zenobia si by far the most “feet on earth” among them. That make her more likeable in my eyes.
