Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

25 – 25. Eastern Knights (2)

Sharp blade.

It’s sharp enough to cut paper if you drop it.

The blade has two letters carefully engraved by the craftsman.

‘Guardian.’

Yes.

This sword is the sword of the imperial knight who protects his country.

This is a treasured sword that Irina gave me as a gift in my past life.

A few days ago, she sent me this as a gift along with a sunstone.

It’s probably repayment for the protective stone incident.

It holds the wearer’s mana well and has excellent strength.

Everything is the same as it was in the old days when we fought against countless knight commanders.

I firmly picked up the sword.

With serious eyes, as if fighting them.

Senior Miya swallowed deeply at the look in his eyes.

And I waited with bated breath for my next move.

He raised his sword in response.

And the moment when you swing decisively.

Red lumps fell down.

―――.

“Do you really have to cut it in that way?”

Miya neatly collected the watermelons that had fallen on her plate.

“Sure. “This delicate sense saves lives on the battlefield.”

I spoke with pride to the bewildered woman.

And then he wiped away the sword that was covered in fruit juice.

“You are probably the only one who can use the treasured sword the princess gave you.”

Miya shuddered and brought out a fork.

Then I took one and put it in my mouth.

“hmm-.”

Sweet water that spreads in your mouth.

Even the cool texture.

“It tastes good.”

She savored the taste with her eyes half closed, as if in ecstasy.

“But is it okay for me to come here? “What about Looper?”

“Oh, it’s okay-. Because that bastard went to his family today.”

You went home during work hours?

When I made a disapproving expression, she chuckled as if it was natural.

“It happens every time. I guess dad called me to go horseback riding this time? “It connects you with personal connections.”

She grabbed the watermelon rind like it was a bowl.

And then he starts pouring alcohol inside.

“Keu-someone meets their dad well and skips work to make connections-.”

The senior looks at me intently.

He then made a cynical expression, as if he was pathetic.

“Someone refuses to go on the road to success and is cutting watermelons with a treasured sword!”

“You too, one day, will realize the value of a peaceful daily life rather than career success.”

I answered while drinking alcohol from a watermelon rind.

“What are you talking about, this old man…?” .”

Seeing me like that, my senior snorted.

And we looked out the quiet window together.

Sweet drink.

And a quiet garden.

A very small sprout is blooming in the garden.

The first leaf that managed to bloom after summoning a wizard to the sunstone.

I happily drank the leaves as a snack.

Imagining the fresh vines that will bloom one day.

but… .

That imagination was soon shattered,

Two large men seen from afar.

Because they were dressed in uniforms and wearing red capes and approached the garden.

“What, those kids… .”

I furrowed my eyebrows and walked to the window.

Then Miya, her face red, joins in.

“Oh, them? “They are Eastern knights.”

Miya pointed to the red capes they wore around their necks.

‘Are you here to deliver the sunstone?’

Then he will come straight to the office.

Why did you go to the garden behind?

I put my hands in my pockets and went down to the first floor to see them.

Meanwhile, the two knights arrived at the vegetable garden.

They begin to observe the field closely, like a search party.

“Is this this place? That damn defense engineer’s workshop.”

“Yes, senior. “After investigating, I found out that he is always here after patrolling.”

“Then, I guess the poisonous plants that I used for my brother were also grown here.”

Senior So and Tau trampled the field with military boots.

And then I took in the empty garden one by one.

From noble mtl dot com

“I found it.”

The junior pointed to a lone sprout.

Coming from the East, they looked with suspicion at southern plants they had never seen before.

“Buds that bloom in winter… .”

“You saw it correctly, because plants other than magic grass do not bloom in winter.”

Tau swallowed deeply and looked down at the plant.

“Yeah, it’s definitely not an ordinary plant.”

The two Eastern knights looked at each other seriously.

And he stretched out his hand to secure the bud.

However, at that moment.

Their hands stopped abruptly.

“What are you doing there?”

Because I was suspicious of them when I arrived at the field.

“As expected, the scene was raided, so they came out on their own.”

The two knights looked at me at the same time.

And he had a serious expression, like a knight who had come to apprehend a criminal.

“I am Tau, the vanguard of the Eastern Knights. “I came here because of a problem with the gift.”

“okay? Then come up to the office. “Don’t just mess around here.”

I took the lead, pointing to the building.

However, rather than following them, they hit the soles of their feet hard on the garden.

“Previously.”

And he glared at me with intense eyes like an interrogator.

“What on earth are you growing here?”

His eyes are extremely serious.

I felt it the moment I saw those eyes.

‘These guys… Could it be that they are in the same business?’

Originally, few imperial knights were interested in vegetable gardens.

Because I focus on swordsmanship and self-discipline rather than farming.

I can’t believe he showed such serious expression and interest in the garden in such a situation.

I feel glad to see you.

“It’s a crop called watermelon.”

Actually, I don’t remember if it was a fruit or a vegetable.

So, we decided to call it a crop.

“Watermelon?”

However, unlike me, who was happy to see them, their eyes were filled with murder.

As if you have no idea what a watermelon is.

“This is the first crop I’ve heard of in my life.”

“So, are you raising them with permission from the Magic Tower?”

Is watermelon a crop that requires a permit? ?

It was distributed well in the capital city.

“Did you even need permission?”

Seeing my calm appearance, my junior’s eyes fluttered.

He spoke in a cold voice, as if he had gone from doubt to certainty.

“You even pretend not to know. “You’re so shameless.”

Soon, junior Bijou took off his uniform jacket.

Then his strong muscles and chicken tattoo were revealed.

“Please follow me obediently and apologize to your senior.”

He approached me in that burdensome outfit.

Thanks to this, his huge shadow was cast over my entire body.

“And find out the truth about the poison you used at the banquet.”

Snort came out from the nose of Biju, the chicken junior.

I asked him again.

“Poison? “What does that mean all of a sudden?”

The guy raised his fist into the air.

And he spoke cruelly, as if his patience had reached its limit.

“If you deny it until the end, I will have no choice but to take you directly.”

A huge fist rising up.

That fist hit my face.

However, that fist could not reach me.

The moment he swung his fist at my head, I lowered my body.

While dodging, I concentrated my mana into my fist.

And before the guy could react, I stabbed him firmly in the stomach.

After that, the guy’s face was distorted.

He overcame the difference in strength by swinging his elbow and striking his chin.

―――!!

Bijou couldn’t even utter a single moan.

It falls to the floor and only makes a thud sound.

“You weren’t just good at handling poison.”

The junior was knocked down with just two blows despite the overwhelming difference in size.

Tau was very impressed by that sight.

“Then try to avoid this too!”

Tau’s entire body was surrounded by mana.

And thanks to the timing provided by my junior, he rushed towards me.

The vanguard’s charge.

It is a charging technique that can penetrate even elite soldiers with shields.

I focused my mana on my legs.

And in an instant, I threw my body to avoid the big guy.

Kwaaang―――!!

The fence I had built for the garden was destroyed.

The guy walked out of the rubble, lightly shaking his shoulders.

“You move quite quickly.”

Tau concentrated mana throughout his body again.

Much stronger than the first time.

“But that’s just it.”

From then on, he continued to rush in without hesitation.

He raised his large fist to the sky.

And the moment it was about to hit me.

I blocked that fist with both hands.

If only I had avoided it.

Because the garden would have been destroyed.

“This bastard… !”

The guy was embarrassed to see me taking it head on instead of dodging it.

Soon he pounded his fists even harder, to the point where a nerve between his eyebrows protruded.

Is it because of that?

Mana fluctuated violently from the place where each other’s arms and fists met.

Thanks to this, things around me start shaking like crazy.

――――!!

A junior’s revenge.

Senior’s revenge.

For this, Tau tried to crush me with all his might.

“Huh… .”

However, he became more and more aware of it.

The difference between your mana and mine.

Clearly, Mana was much stronger when seen with the naked eye.

However, he only realized it when he encountered it himself.

That 10% of my strongly trained mana overwhelms 100% of that guy’s mana.

Thanks to this, he ended up being thrown out and falling into the garden.

I calmly approached the fallen man.

“What do you mean by poison?”

“That’s literally it. Didn’t they attack Brother Bashu with the poisonous plants grown here? .”

“what?”

I was dumbfounded by his unexpected words.

“What are you talking about. “I never used poison on that guy.”

“I’ve never used poison… ? “Then what is the reason your senior limped?”

“It’s just that I stabbed him in a vital spot and he was temporarily paralyzed.”

I walked closer to Tau, who had poor understanding.

Then I pressed my heel on his thigh.

“Khaaa!!”

“Like this.”

Tau held on to his leg due to the throbbing pain.

He then twisted his body from side to side and complained of pain.

“That guy called Vanguard is going to kill you.”

The junior that I defeated first also crawls back.

He looked at me and asked.

“Well, then why did you want to get a sunstone when you barely grow fruit? !”

I smiled at my junior’s sharp question.

“This is not just a fruit or something.”

Then he spoke sacredly, pointing to Miya who came out to throw away the watermelon peel.

“To be exact, it is my retirement fund.”

The two knights who soon fell down looked up at their senior.

Miya threw the shell next to them with a shocked expression.

“What on earth is that…?” .”

The two men’s serious eyes widen.

They looked down blankly at the watermelon peel falling down in front of them.

“I thought they were fellow farmers and tried to be nice to them… .”

While looking around the garden, I found a weak, crushed sprout.

And he buried him with a sad expression.

“You guys made a strange mistake and ruined my field.”

I picked up the hoe that was rolling on the floor.

Then he raised his head towards them and spoke with a cruel expression.

“Then, you have to pay it back, right?”

The thick shoulders of the two knights shrug.

They looked up with dumbfounded expressions at me approaching with a hoe.

“You… what on earth are you?”

Like cows and chickens about to be caught.

“Me? I’m your master for the time being.”
