Chapter 11 – 03. Kingdom of Ulstro – Squire Life (2)
“Well, then I’ll talk comfortably. I’m Amy. I’m working as Mercedes-sama’s life squire with Elsa unnie.”
“… Glett. An attendant like you.”
After saying that, Glet focused on training again.
On the other hand, Amy asked him a lot of questions about Valdez. And yet, she brought up stories not only of herself, but of other strains as well.
She seemed like a very talkative and immature girl.
“Hehe, actually, I was the youngest before that. In terms of age and order of entry.”
Amy was an impressive girl with flowing brown hair.
She introduced herself as the fourth daughter of her baronial family.
And that, of course, is without a manor.
In any country, there was a big difference between the presence and absence of nobles.
First of all, the name was like that. A noble who has a territory can use a middle name, but a noble who does not can use a middle name. So, like the son of a nobleman without title, there is only a first name and last name without a middle name.
It seemed like a minor difference, but the level of recognizing the target between the nobles was completely different.
“I didn’t have much money, so I had to come in as a servant, but I’m glad I inherited my swordsmanship talent.”
After a moment of sulkiness, her face quickly brightened. She was a very lively girl.
“And the knight serving is a princess! Are you saying that you envy your fellow servants as well?”
“He’s a nice guy.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Treat our servants like this too! As expected, the queen is a good person, so the lady, the knight, is also great!”
When she said that the queen was a good person, she almost threw a tantrum, but she managed to bear it.
I nodded her head and adjusted the conversation appropriately, and she did not stop her excited story of her. Still, thanks to Valdez, it was good to grasp information about Mercedes and its surroundings.
No matter how much research was done, there could be something wrong because it was seen from the outside, or it could have changed in real time.
“Elza is the first one among us to come in! So she knows the knight very well and does other things very well. If she doesn’t know anything, she can ask her.”
El.
She was a commoner
She said Amy said she had been doing the seed for quite some time. However, that did not mean that her skills were lacking. She also has enough skills to become a knight, but in order for her to join this order of knights, she was still a servant.
It was aimed at the promotion system.
It was a self-test within each knight order, and it was to appoint a knight with skill and make him a knight of that order.
Although each order is different, the Pedro Knights held a promotion test every two months.
Using this promotion test, it was much easier to join the Knights than entering from outside. Because of this, there were many cases where, like Elza, she volunteered to carry on her seed her even though she had the skills to become a knight.
“And Glet is a viscount daughter.”
Amy looked at her furtively and noticed her. Then she whispered in a quiet voice.
“She’s not normally that blunt, but she’s going to be in a bad mood today. Actually, Glette, too, she participated in the martial arts competition. She She failed on the second day.”
“Ah.”
Only then did he understand Glette’s attitude to her.
Not simply blunt, but a strangely hostile attitude. I wondered if this was a case similar to ethylene, but it seems it wasn’t.
“… Amy.”
“Hee! Mi-sorry sister! That, water! Are you thirsty?! I’ll bring you some water!”
Amy hurriedly left the training ground in a hurry.
“I-I’m sorry.”
“Whoa. No. It’s not your fault, so what? … It’s just because I don’t have enough skills.”
Glatt sighed and went to a corner and sat down in his chair.
“I’m really sorry.
“No. I’m still happy thanks to Master.”
At Valdes’ words, Glet’s eyes widened.
“…That’s amazing. I’ve seen a few mixed race demons, but I’ve never seen one as positive as you.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes…”
The boy smiles awkwardly and scratches the back of his head. I couldn’t believe that this boy really had a fierce fight with the famous Ethylene.
“Me, over there.”
“Yes?”
“Perhaps….”
Glatt was ashamed of her words.
“Why is that?”
Valdez pushed her face out of her, coming close to her on purpose to tease her.
“Oops!”
Her face her turned red.
‘What a handsome face. The effect is good.’
“That, so…”
“Yes?”
“… Su, can you watch the training?”
“Oh, of course!”
Glette’s expression brightened at his answer to her.
“Joe, fine! I’ll lend you my sword!”
Glett handed him the sword he had brought as a spare.
Soon, the two of them got into position.
‘It’s a sword.’
When I sneakily checked the sword, the blade was dead. The same goes for Glette.
For stability, most of the training swords were made swords. However, it only killed me, and the grip, weight, and size were all the same as normal swords. And when hit, it hurts too.
“…Gulp.”
Glatt swallowed involuntarily as he looked at Valdes in front of him.
The boy who seemed nice and docile until just now was nowhere to be found. Instead, it was a single warrior standing there.
The feeling I got when Mercedes sparred on occasion.
It’s the same as back then.
I couldn’t even see where to attack, and my body atrophied at the momentum radiating from the opponent. Cold sweat broke out in his hands, and the sword seemed to slip.
“I’ll go first.”
Valdez’s sword quickly cut through hers. Glette was surprised but managed to block it, but he continued to strike her sword in succession.
‘Fast…!’
It must have been more than 10 steps away, but it came right in front of me before I knew it. I didn’t even notice the preliminary movements, let alone moving.
Still, Glatt was also a body that had continued to live as a servant under Mercedes for several years. She didn’t take it lightly enough that the sword bounced off after a few strikes.
“Suck!”
He gave strength to his hand and swung the sword with all his might.
A quick and straight swordsmanship. She tried to push her Valdes with what she thought was her best sword her.
However, Valdez blocked all of her swords with minimal movement.
“Kuh…!”
‘Is there such a difference?’
The last man she fought in a martial arts tournament advanced to the round of 16. So Glette masturbated in her mind her.
She said she was just unlucky.
However, as she exchanged swords with Valdes like this, she felt her own deficiencies in her.
As her heart fluttered, it was clearly revealed through her pupils.
Right!
Valdes’ sword her, which had been attached to her sword her until just now, slipped and hit her wrist in an instant.
“Aww!”
The pain felt in her wrist made Glett unwittingly let go of her sword her.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“… Sue, thank you for your hard work.”
Glatt picked up her sword her, gripping her wrist her with the other hand.
“Go, strong…”
“Ms. Glatt… You were strong enough too.”
At his words her, she shook her head with her sullen face.
“Just call me Glet… And I missed her sword because I got hit on her wrist her, but how strong is that?”
Saying that, Glatt sat down on her floor.
“Are your wrists okay?”
“Uh, ah…”
Before Glet could answer anything, Valdez approached and she grabbed her arm.
Her arm her was weakly drawn to him, leaving her wrist her unprotected.
“Well.”
In that brief gap, her wrists were swollen. It will probably swell a bit more over time.
Valdez took an ointment from her bosom her and applied it to her wrist her.
“It’s not that good, but it’s better than not applying it. Later, Miss Amy brings some water and we’ll use it as a poultice.”
“Uh, uh, thank you…”
I looked up at Glath’s face.
She was staring at the arm he was holding with a blush on her face.
‘The effect is good.’
Salves and enchanting spells. I was talking about both.
He said it wasn’t a big deal, but the plaster he took out was a high-end product. Somehow, his pride could not tolerate him carrying around cheap things.
In the case of enchantment magic, it was cumbersome to keep calculating and using it, so he cast a magic that had a weak effect but had a long duration. It’s to the extent that it makes the opponent a little like it, but it doesn’t go unnoticed unless it’s at the level of a great wizard, and the synergy was good with its handsome appearance.
“…”
Glette silently looked at Valdes’ hand her as he applied the salve.
His touch her was warm and hard.
It was because of the calluses.
Calluses that couldn’t even compare to hers. I could feel how much effort he must have put into building the skills he has now.
Is that why?
Although it must have been hard and rough skin, his touch was soft.
My lips opened involuntarily.
“I-over there…”
“Ah! Glette, are you hurt?! What should I do?”
But her words are interrupted by her returning Amy.
Amy brought the cold water bottle she had brought to Glette’s wrist her.
“Oh, ok, it’s okay.”
“Ugh, how did you get hurt?”
“Just a little sparring?”
At her words her, Amy looked at her her Valdes her.
The boy had an embarrassed expression on his face.
“Did you buy it from day one?”
“Oh no! I said sparring!”
Glatt shouted in surprise at Amy’s playful tone of her.
“Ayu, be surprised. Ay, I know. I was just kidding.”
“…Okay.”
Even Glette couldn’t understand why she was screaming. Just watching Amy try to blame her Valdez her made her feel sick as if it were her own business her.
The moment the atmosphere was about to become awkward. Valdes opened his mouth.
“Then… You may be offended, but can I tell you what I feel?”
“Huh? How did you feel? That, yes.”
“Glett’s sword and body his were too rigid. He was too straight. His body was stiff as he only put a lot of strength into his arm. And he was too intimidated by the opponent.”
Valdés speaks emphatically.
“Ugh!”
It was as if a dagger had come flying and stuck in his chest. It was such a striking statement.
Especially since Mercedes had said the same thing before.
“It doesn’t matter if you have overwhelming power, but if you don’t, you need skill. And that skill comes from curves rather than straight lines.”
The lecture time of Valdez suddenly started.
However, not only Glette but also Amy focused on his story with her eyes shining.
“There are many ways to draw curves, but first of all, the wrist is important. It would be possible with strong muscle strength, but it’s too inefficient. Compared to that, the wrist is important.”
Valdez paused for a moment and turned his wrists around. Depending on the movement, the sword in his hand drew various shapes.
Admiration came out of the mouths of the two people at the various pictures drawn in the air. Even though it looks monotonous, it gave off a colorful and free-spirited feeling.
“There are so many different movements possible. And if we put it into practice… Ah, Miss Amy, would you like to hold a sword for a second?”
“Yes!”
Amy took the sword Glatt was holding and prepared her posture. She held the sword with both hands and held it slightly diagonally, in a very standard posture. But it was immediately felt that she was skilled.
Valdes slammed his sword into Amy’s.
“Like this.”
Poof!
“Oh!”
The sword’s trajectory was bent. It seemed like it was coming straight towards the sword she was holding, but then the sword went all the way down and the tip touched her wrist her. Even though the sword was swung at high speed, it stopped exactly when it lightly touched her wrist her.
“Wow…”
“Commonly called Heocho, it becomes possible to attack freely.”
Glette’s expression became serious.
The boy in front of me was real.
A warrior with real fighting skills, a waste to be a seed. Such a warrior is together as a seed. If so, it was an opportunity to learn a lot while staying with him.
“… Ho maybe… Other things… Can you teach me?”
I shuddered as if I was asking a guy out on a date.
Even when he reunited with his childhood friend his, the son of a baron from the next estate, after a long time, he didn’t seem to be so nervous. In the first place, when she met him again, she already had a fiancee, so there was nothing to like about her, but somehow the boy in front of her seemed to be okay.
The boy, who had been silent for a while, smiled brightly.
“Sure!”
His innocent smile his seemed to light up his heart his.
“Me too!”
Cried Amy, raising her hand.
Mercedes also gave lessons from time to time, but she was basically very busy.
In addition, she too must have her own practice time. I couldn’t ask questions or ask a Mercedes like that. In comparison, Valdés lacks her skills a bit, but she is absurdly strong compared to them.
“I like it. Call me whenever you need it. Oh, just in case you don’t know, tell Miss Elsa too. Just in case you left it alone and you don’t like it.”
“Ohh…! Okay!”
The barrel is big.
I thought so.
‘If it wasn’t for a real mixed demon race, an aristocratic family would have taken it long ago.’
Fall year. Handsome appearance. Outstanding swordsmanship.
Nothing is missing
Even though he has been a mercenary, his personality is not harsh and his mouth is not harsh. Still, since she has completed many quests, she must have plenty of practical experience. It was as if she had taken her strengths her as a mercenary and discarded her weaknesses.
She thought of a childhood friend who did n’t even care about having a fiancée, but rather boasted about her.
‘Anyway, I don’t have a fiancé yet….’
‘Wouldn’t it be nice if the couple were both knights?’
Delusions and crushes grew rapidly in Glette and Amy’s heads.
