Chapter 68: Nightti Clandestine eting
That night as the young knights in the Castle of Prussia were about to sleep…
「Ahh…what an easy day…」
It’d already been a while since the dungeon master’s attack.
Recently their job was to go to training, patrol the castle, and patrol the town…then that was it.
The rest of the ti was devoted to drinking with their pals.
「Yeah, I’m grateful that our duties ended peacefully today.」
「I’m glad that I haven’t had to use my battle equipnt for a couple days. It’d be great if these peaceful days would continue…so we can take our ti drinking till late at night and rest.」
「Haha, no doubt. Well then, let’s call it a day here.」
The young knights relaxed and were about to lie down in their beds when at that mont…
「——!?」
Everyone felt a freezing chill run down their spine as a monuntal pressure pressed down upon them.
「Wh-what!?」
So fell off their beds and one froze stiff as if tied down.
「I-I can’t….m-move…wh-what is this…?」
「Is this…….a wave….of magic…?」
As the young knights’ breaths caught in their throat at that thought, they heard the roar of the senior knight’s voice from outside their room.
「ALL TROOPS! EQUIP YOURSELVES! READY YOURSELVES!」
After hearing the roared orders from their senpai, the young knights’ breathing started once more in surprise.
They then began equipping themselves in a hurry.
「Ummmm, where was my equipnt?」
「Wait! First turn on the light!」
Everything was going helter-skelter in the dark room as they tried to equip themselves.
「I’m coming in!」
A voice said as it opened the door. Standing their was their senior knight.
「Five of you huh. You’re taking your sweet ti aren’t you. Or maybe you can’t stand the magic and you can’t move?」
「U-uummmm…..yes.」
They nodded while feeling embarrassed.
「U-umm what’s going on!?」
「n, it’s a surprise readiness drill…is it your first?」
The young knights exchanged glances and nodded.
They were newbies who had only started here 2 months ago.
「They do this sotis. It may be peaceful now, but monsters can always co to attack from the magic forest or the Fort City’s dungeon. You can’t let your guard down, it seems to be the Knight Captain’s policy.」
「I-is that so? Normally you’d never feel such overwhelming and scary magic power right?」
「Well…normally even with Princess’s huge magic power being fully emitted we’d still be able to stand up….but today’s is abnormally powerful so I think this is special.」
There was cold sweat on the senior knight’s face.
His face was also sowhat pale.
「I felt fear when the dragon king ca…but this is honestly above that. Even I almost let a little leak out. Are you guys alright?」
「U-uhmmm…probably…..」
Several of them looked suspicious…but about half of them seed to have withstood it.
「Well…hmm? I guess this kind of thing would happen normally if you drink enough alcohol… if you take care of it quickly it should be fine.」
「Uh…ok!」
「Ok, then continue the drill. We’re patrolling the castle!」
「Roger!」
And so the knights began to mill around the castle.
*************
「…..Um there seems to be a commotion going on in the castle…is everything alright?」
I was standing next to the castle with Dianeia and for so reason I heard a big commotion.
It was loud enough that I could hear it almost clearly from the outside.
「Haha, don’t mind it.」
Dianeia said while carelessly laughing.
「The knights have just sensed your magic power and are now entering a state of alert.」
「Umm is that ok?」
I’m not disturbing their rest am I?
「No, I was planning on this beforehand. I was going to have Anne-dono release so of her magic power.」
「Yes, sotis you need a sense of danger so I was going to cooperate.」
「Oh, so I ca and it was convenient…I see.」
It was a small silver lining. But I think that without Hesty’s coating they would all wake up leaking…
「Is it really okay for to co into town?」
「N, well most people can’t really sense magic so it’s alright. Reber you ca into town the other day without coating and you were fine, right?」
Huh…I guess she’s right. I didn’t have coating at that ti.
「As long as they aren’t directly eting you they should basically be alright, so please co to town more often!」
「Ahh, well…sotis.」
I’m a guy who prefers staying at ho…that’s basically my nature.
「So, you needed to give stuff to Dianeia, right Anne?」
「Uh, yes. That’s right. Here’s the requested dicine and books.」
「Oh, I’ll read them. You have my thanks.」
Books? Did she have sothing she wanted to look up?
「It’s just a bit of research. I want to beco even a little stronger as a mage, so I tought I’d read up on dragon’s knowledge.」
「You’re so serious.」
「That’s my only redeeming feature. Oh, why’d you co et Daichi-dono? I-it couldn’t be for yobai (sneaking into a woman’s room at night for sexual relations)…」
「No, I just had sothing I wanted to ask.」
「Oh…I see…」
She seems very disappointed…but if I was coming for that I wouldn’t bring Anne with .
「W-well, this isn’t any place to talk, let’s move to a nicer place for a chat. Is there anywhere that you two would like to go?」
「I don’t particularly care. My business here is mostly complete, I think that it would be fine if it was a place that Daichi-sama chose.」
A place that I find comfortable to chat in…it’s mostly restricted to my house…or my shop.
「Well, if it’s for talking then the living space in my shop should be good.」
Hesty’s there too and she should hear this talk as well.
That made coming here an exercise in fruitlessness…but I’ll just think of it as a nice walk.
「Ah, is that so? Actually I also wanted to see the inside of Daichi-sama’s rchant ho!」
「Well then Daichi-dono. I’ll be intruding for a bit. Should we teleport?」
「Yeah, I’ll leave it to you.」
And so Dianeia teleported us once again back to my store.
