Episode 54.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed when I saw the toner that seemed to cry at any moment.
What else does this mean?
“Hey, I think you’re misunderstanding something with the toner.”
I approached Toner and tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but Toner pushed me away and said,
“The third one goes away. This man, the knight planted by my father!”
“no.”
“No, what is it! There’s no way I’d lose so easily. I am a genius!”
So, is Toner mistaking me for the Marquis of Matarna?
Although he accepted the request, it was definitely his first meeting with Marquis Matarna.
“There’s a misunderstanding…”
I approached Toner again, but Toner pushed me away again.
I was going to get a little angry.
“You are talking to your father! It’s annoying, so get out.”
He treats me like a complete underling.
puck!
Unknowingly, I hit Toner in the back of the head.
I cautiously looked at the Marquis of Matarna, but it didn’t seem to matter.
Rather, I liked it.
“How dare you hit me?”
“Listen to me. I am not a knight of Marquis Matarna.”
“Then what is it!”
“It’s a mercenary.”
Messiah, who was watching the situation from the side, caught the horse.
“You are using the name Cassias now, but you are a mercenary with the rank of Hans Like Black.”
For a moment, Toner’s actions stopped.
“Black-ranked mercenary…?”
“It is as the Messiah said. It was a coincidence that I came to fight with you like this, but Marquis Matarna recognized that I was a black mercenary and put in a request for me.”
“A request?”
I looked at the Marquis of Matarna. It didn’t matter if I told you the truth.
Marquis Matarna nodded.
“To put it simply, it was a request to defeat you overwhelmingly.”
Toner looked at Marquis Matarna as if this were true.
Marquis Matarna nodded.
“···still!”
“No, I didn’t mind the request because I was planning to beat you overwhelmingly anyway.”
“what?”
Toner looked at me in bewilderment.
“You have no manners towards your opponent.”
“I···?”
Could it be that he was not even aware that what he had done was rude?
“You underestimated my strength before confronting me. In addition, he treated the person who was invited as if he were a subordinate.”
“Hmph, even if that’s true, I’m an aristocrat.”
Toner looked at me arrogantly with her arms crossed.
“okay···.”
I don’t have too many habits.
I looked at Marquis Matarna and said.
“Can I hit you again?”
“If only that would cure the bastard’s habit.”
As soon as the Marquis gave permission, he immediately swung his hand at the back of Toner’s head.
Toner tried to stop my hand, but he couldn’t stop it.
f*ck!
The sound of hitting was louder than before.
Tears welled up in Tony’s eyes.
“Miss Ai, you son of a b*tch!”
Toner rushed at me, but I turned around and walked away.
A toner that drips loudly. I got up again with a sigh.
“Um… calm down for a moment.”
“shut up!”
Toner jumped at me again.
I swung my fist aiming for Toner’s chin. It was to stun.
And that intention was spectacularly successful.
“Oops.”
Toner, who was hit right in the jaw, collapsed with a sound of air escaping.
Immediately after Toner collapsed, Marquis Matarna came up to me and held my hand.
“I want to entrust you with one more request!”
“yes?”
“If you hit the toner like this often, no, I want you to scold me!”
I was puzzled.
Still, it was because of the Marquis Matarna who didn’t care at all about the child.
“Still a bit…”
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how rude it is, it bothers me to often hit people who have nothing to do with me.
“I’ll take care of the commission fee.”
I got a side job of mine.
Hit the toner whenever you have time, no, you mean scolding.
***
I handed a letter to the Messiah.
“Send this to Patrick in the Jordon Free City.”
“All right.”
“Can I ask for a letter?”
Actually, I wanted you to ask.
“it’s okay.”
“okay···.”
The letter to Patrick was to bring Har to the Empire.
Since I’m going to be staying here for a while, it seemed fitting that I should have Haru with me.
I also wanted to see Har in the first place.
Messiah left the inn to deliver the letter.
“by the way···.”
I thought about Epinia.
To be precise, I thought of Epinia before I regressed.
“He died.”
Upon hearing that the first princess of the Mycenae Empire died suddenly, I also went to the funeral.
“I probably couldn’t defeat the devil.”
I couldn’t find a clue about the hint, and I must have faced the devil.
However, things went differently than planned, and Ephinia would have died in the end.
To be precise, it must have been stolen by the devil.
But one question arose.
“Why did you go to war with the Natearden Empire?”
For some unknown reason, shortly after Epinia’s death, the Mycenaean Empire declared war on the Natearden Empire.
That’s why people thought that the death of the first princess was related to the Natearden Empire.
but.
“From the contents of the curse or what I have heard so far, there was no reason to go to war with the Natearden Empire.”
Does Ephinia’s death and the war between the empires have anything to do with it?
Just in time, the Messiah returned to the inn.
“Here is the Messiah.”
“Yes, Master Cassias.”
“I have a question. How is the relationship between the Natearden Empire and the Mikener Empire?”
As far as I know, it’s neither good nor bad.
Still, if he was a Messiah belonging to the imperial family, he would know better than I did.
“It is normal.”
“What if it’s normal?”
“It’s neither good nor bad.”
It was just as I thought.
“What is it really?”
“What are you worried about?”
“no.”
How can we say that the Natearden Empire and the Mycenae Empire will go to war in the future?
I just kept it inside.
“How about toner?”
“You mean Toner?”
“Yes, toner.”
Toner now lives in the room next to me.
Marquis Matarna forced me to put it next to me.
So whenever I had free time or when I was bored, I was looking for a toner.
Today, I went to the toner to relieve my stress. Even without stress.
Bang in the next room! A voice was heard.
“As you have heard, you are disassembling a lot.”
“okay?”
It would be a lot of resentment because it was right for no reason.
But there are people in the next room, so you shouldn’t be so noisy.
“I’ll be back in a little while.”
“Clean, please.”
After all, Messiah will be in charge of post-processing such as healing the toner’s wounds, so it will be a lot of hassle.
“I’ll finish it in one shot this time.”
I left my room and found the next room.
smart.
I politely gave priority to knocking.
The room, which had been noisy just before, became quiet.
“what? don’t you have Did you hear a sound just a moment ago?”
I put my ear to the door.
The senses of the body were also excellent, befitting the highest level of sword expert. The same goes for hearing.
A faint sound of breathing can be heard in the room.
I grinned.
“I think there is?”
I took the key out of my pocket.
It was the spare key to the next room.
I put the key in the door and turned it.
“Come in!”
The moment I opened the door, Toner jumped at me, but I immediately punched him in the chin.
“evil!”
Although hit in the jaw, Toner did not pass out.
Certainly a genius was a genius.
“In the meantime, you raised your face to avoid fainting? That’s great.”
“Hmph, you always aim only for the chin, but I think I’ll be beaten forever!”
But I immediately jumped at Toner and hit him in the face with my knee.
Toner fell backwards. Blood was flowing from his nose.
Toner wiped his nose with his hand and was startled.
“Nose… Nosebleed!”
“Well, it’s not like I spilled it once or twice.”
“This bastard really is!”
“You keep talking.”
With a little emotion, he slapped Toner’s cheek.
Perhaps because it contained a little mana, the toner flew in the direction of the hit.
And Toner fainted. There were traces of my palms on Toner’s cheeks.
“When will you come to your senses?”
In fact, up until the time I received this request, I thought that Toner’s mental education would be easy.
Just like the swordsman did, if you hit it a few times, it’s all mental training.
However, Toner was persistent like a genius.
“It’s getting boring now.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how many times you get hit, you try.
Moreover, they decided that it was impossible to keep going like this, so they even attacked me in the middle of the night.
“How are you talking about this guy?”
scratched his head
Feeling a presence at the door, I looked toward the door.
was the messiah
“…”
Messiah only sighed and said nothing.
I was able to check the situation of the room only the day before yesterday.
Items are scattered, and some are damaged.
Besides, even Toner’s face is a mess.
“Please go to your room first. I’m going to take care of it.”
“hahahaha, I was trying to clean it up…”
Messiah approached Toner first.
It was when I was about to leave the room quietly.
puck.
The sound of something hitting came from Toner and Messiah.
I turned around to check, but Messiah was just cleaning the area around the toner.
But I saw Toner’s head turned differently than before.
‘Messiah… He’s a scary guy after all.’
I turned a blind eye and went back to my room.
***
Jordon Free City, Patrick opened the letter and checked it.
“huh? What, was the request from the empire to become a gladiator in the Colosseum?”
The letter said that Suhar had become a gladiator in the Empire’s Colosseum and was told to bring Har.
“Master… you changed your name again. What else is Cassias?”
Patrick sighs.
“Harya!”
Harr ran to Patrick’s call.
said Patrick, holding Har in his arms.
“Let’s go to your master.”
Then it was Har who struggled.
“Why don’t you like it?”
“Kee-ing, ki-ing.”
Haru shakes his head. It doesn’t seem like he hates it.
“Then why? Are you bothering me?”
“Kong!”
Haru barked as if that was right.
Patrick touched his forehead and sighed.
“You’re usually active, so you’re saying this is annoying?”
“Kyung-Kyung!”
It was Har who said that it was different.
“Still, Master told me to bring you, so I have to go.”
Haar lowered his tail and began to show displeasure.
“Ehh… Then, let’s start slowly. It’ll be fine even if it’s a little late anyway.”
“Wow!”
Then, Haru jumped around and liked it. It suited me to be fair.
“Seriously, he’s more like a puppy than a wolf.”
Patrick smiled at the well-mannered Har.
***
I checked the reply to my letter to Patrick.
“Come slowly.”
It didn’t matter.
More than that, the problem was that he hadn’t played since facing Toner.
“They said they would find an opponent that matches their level.”
no news
I thought that my opponent was only champion.
“Sword expert superlatives aren’t common.”
Besides, I’m on the verge of mastery.
If you cross one wall, you become a sword master.
I was confident that I would win even if I brought the best.
“Ehh…”
I lay down on the bed in my room.
While I was meditating for a while with my eyes closed, I heard urgent footsteps outside.
“Are you the Messiah?”
Are you coming to tell me that the game has been set?
But why does it seem urgent?
As I expected, the identity of the sound was the Messiah.
However, the Messiah who opened the door and entered was not the usual expressionless expression, but a very anxious expression.
“Princess Ephinia has been kidnapped!”
“what?”
I also got out of bed in a hurry.
