In a training ground the size of a school yard, I had a simulated sword, surrounded by more than ten soldiers.

"If you're going to take my grandson, you have to show me how strong he is."

One of them, Al's grandfather, Gaulos, laughs niggardly with a simulated sword about his height on his shoulder.

Gaulos had also heard from Al on this road that Al's father, Garrett, was the former leader of the Kingsguard Knights and a family of Lunette Imperial Chivalry militants originating from the Mirda family for generations.

... Well, I don't know what to do. It will probably be easy to defeat. To be honest, Al, I even think I can beat everyone.

You also know where we actually captured the commander...

There is also the hand of losing out of hand, but the three of us will see right through it, and there's no reason to get distracted.

I wave my sword gently, and when I know what it feels like, I stand against the soldiers.

"Sounds like you're ready. Okay, here we go!

Soldiers spread with their swords pointed around me.

And five of them shook their swords and ran towards me.

... do we attack more than protect?

I run all at once when I wrap up my magic and strengthen my whole body. And he's slashed with a simulated sword, slapping and kicking two simulated swords at once. Jump straight into the nostalgia of a soldier who is even more surprised and punch him in the stomach.

If I take it seriously, my gut may burst, so I'm only adding or subtracting it.

Still, the soldiers surrounding me in my movements look stunned.

"Until then"

Only four of them have yet to be defeated, but a voice was heard from Gaulos, who was behind them.

I put down my simulated sword and exhale with a fu.

"With all this strength difference, doing it to the end won't change the outcome. If soldiers hurt you when it matters, you'll be in trouble."

I can use healing magic for once, so I wouldn't have a problem if I wasn't even dead......

The soldiers also sat down on each one of them to see if the tension was resolved.

"From here on out, I'm with you."

Only one Gaurus came forward to me.

That made me feel the strength that put me on the line with the other soldiers, even though I was old.

It's the Great Sword that's in charge.

The blade will be crushed as a simulated sword, but if it hits directly, it will break about a fracture.

I squeeze my face and put my sword back together.

"Then come!

Momentum jumps in, but even though he's still stronger than the rest of the soldiers, he's also inferior to Al.

Take it with your sword without difficulty, pay it back, and turn around at once, putting a sword on your neck muscle.

"That's it..."

Gaurus shook his body at my words and suddenly started laughing.

"Ahhh. That's it! Lord Towya is so strong! That's why our grandchildren fall in love."

The battle was quickly won.

It was helpful with a neat personality. I don't care if you get mucked up and hurt at a time like this.

"All right, let's keep talking"

With that said, Gaulos returns to the mansion in a good mood.

The soldiers seemed to resume their training and we followed Gaulos.

◇ ◇ ◇

"And I didn't know you were this strong... I have only captured the Commander of the Empire in that number of men. And the three of us are attracted to each other... but I didn't think you'd make it to Lord Sage."

I smile without thinking of Garros smiling gahaha in front of me.

The mock battle ended and I returned to the reception room where I was earlier.

"More than that, uncle,... what's going on with you in Imperial City...?

Gaulos' expression darkens when he was cheerful until earlier in Al's words.

"The king's capital is completely corrupt. Those who have fled quickly have fled here and into the Elf Autonomous Region, but there is information in it that those who remain and the people live as inhabitants, and the beasts and the elves and the sub people have been dropped into slavery. His Majesty should be captured in an underground cell. But the information hasn't come in at all right now."

After all, the kingdom of Generation is human supremacy. Slaves captured in the Lunette Empire will be transported as slaves to the kingdom of Generation after they have calmed the Empire. We need to get the Empire back soon......

"So... what are you going to do now...?

Gaulos flaunts my words and grips my fist.

"... I haven't decided on anything yet. Just because there's plenty of defense here. Thanks to the Lord's retreat from his enemies..."

Honestly, I want information on the Imperial Capital, but all we have here are the Beasts and those who have evacuated the Imperial Capital.

Few can sneak into the Empire.

... I don't have a choice...

"I... I'll sneak into the capital."

"Hey, what!?

"Mr. Toya!?

Everyone gives me a surprise look at my words.

"There will be no problem with the protection here unless the brave men come if the three join us. Besides... I'm an adventurer in the Kingdom of Salandir, right? You're a human race, and you'll get in without a problem."

The commander is also captured. The brave man said he had returned to the kingdom of Generation, and the three levels should already be unbeatable by those soldiers there. And even if I accompany the three of them, Charles has a cracked face, and Al and Natalie are beasts and elves. If we stay together, we'll be captured for sure.

But I wouldn't have a problem.

"But... how strong the Lord is, by himself..."

"I'll be fine. If only there wasn't a brave man..."

I don't know how strong the brave are, but they shouldn't lose so easily......

Me and Gaulos' gaze intersect, silence continues.

"... ok. Lord Sage and Al admit it. I'll admit it. Lord Toya, I asked for it."

That's what Gaulos bows his head to me.

"Take this with you. It should help at some point."

Gaulos put a dagger decorated with jewels from his nostalgia on the table.

The pattern is coloured with a crest, which means it is a luxury item.

"Is this...?

Gaulos started explaining to me when I dropped my gaze on the dagger.

"This was accepted by the royal family when I gave up the Knights Commander to my son. If you look at this crest, anyone in the empire will know. It should help Lord Toya."

"Such an important thing... I can't accept it..."

"It's okay. It is also true that we must rely on Lord Toya. Take it."

Gaulos nods straight at me.

"Okay. I do borrow it."

Receiving the dagger, I decided to help for this empire.
