Original:

Chapter 171 – The Knights of Mabondo

After we climb down the mountain we enter the forest that is at its foot. Midways many monsters appeared but all of them were defeated by the girls and I was unable to do a thing. Haosui was at the front because she was originally the strongest and thanks to my training and even more to the legend rank equipnt I made she got even stronger so no problem occurred at all. The other girls also used the monsters to test their new equipnt. There were cases in which they tested to the defensive power and recieved the monster’s attacks, and when I saw that I got chills run down my spine. Because the girls explicitly told to not get involved at all and Freud who didn’t participate either in the battles was in charge of holding down so I really wasn’t able to do anything... No matter how much I know that they’ll be okay, that’s not sothing that I like to see. The one that was putting the most effort in the battles was Tata. Was the advice of the Goddess of War effective? She engages battle proactively and tries to confirm her own strength. Well to be frank, certainly in this group the weakest one is Tata but from what I can see her strength is such that even an A-rank adventurer would be unable to hurt her. I always thought that she was a ntaly strong person but she is beca physically strong.

And as we advance while exterminating the monsters, we ca across a group of ard people inside the forest. We imdiately hide ourselves and it seems that they don’t notice us. We learn from their armour their identity, they are a Knight Order from sowhere or so it seems. What are they doing inside the forest?

From the state of the Order we understood two things, that they’re a group of 30 people, so have removed their armour and are preparing their food by stirring a pot, so are sparring with wooden swords and the three that look like the most ranked people from their armour and mantles seem to be having a eting. And that, because in the center of their encampent there are sooty traces of a bonfire, the sleeping bags being spread around, and their opaque and dirty armour, they have been camping in here for so days already.

As we were looking at them, Naminissa and Narelina ca over to and called out with a quiet voice.

“... Wazu-sama, can I have a mont of your ti?”

“Mh? What is it? Don’t tell that you want to do sothing by yourselves. That would be a little...”

“No, that’s wrong. Actually I recognize soone from that group.”

“Ahh, I can confirm it too, there’s no doubt... That Kinght Order is the Mabodno Knight Order.”

... Eh? Mabondo? If I rember correctly, that’s Naminissa and Narelina’s birthplace, right? In other words, those knights are the knights employed by this girl’s country.

“Eh? But why are the knights of your country all the way over here? And more over in that deplorable state... Isn’t the Kingdom of Mabondo quite wealthy...?”

“... About that...”

“... Right now there is no more Kingdom of Mabondo.”

“.. Eh?”

And I got to hear from Naminissa and Narelina the story. Right after they decided to chase after and leave their country, their parents also decided to leave the country with their knights and ther people, and what originally was the Mabondo Kingdom beca now part of the Flebondo Kingdom. After hearing that I tought that the king was a really cheerful person and that’s why their knights and people yearned to follow them. Or rather, were they trying to rape (T/N) Naminissa and Narelina? Yeah, Let’s destroy that Flebondo House. Let’s do that.

“And then, those Knights...”

“Most probably for so reason they got left behind in the country but then gave up on the Kingdom of Flebondo and left it... And without knowing where to go they decided to stop here and now they are looking for a solution to their problem...”

... Fumu... Certainly from hearing the Princesses’ explanation it does seem like it.

“But it’s not like we have proof of it and nothing will co from just us discusing it... You said that you know soone from those knights, right? Then why don’t we try to call them out for the ti being?”

“You are right.”

“Let’s do that.”

“... But we don’t know their circumstances so let’s stay vigilant nonetheless...”

So we stepped out while staying alert as we didn’t know how they would act. When they saw us, the knights raised their arms and pointed them at us, and then the three higher ranks in mantles ca out too.

“Who are you... depending on your answer we will...”

The one that spoke was the one in the middle of those three. A man in his fifties with manly features, an unshaved beard and skinny appearance. He extended his hand towards the poml of his sword.

“It has been a while Runo-sama.”

“It’s been a while Master Runo.”

From our side Naminissa and Narelina get infront of and call out to him. I stayed in a stance to be able to dash out at any mont.

“... Princess Narelina, Princess Naminissa.”

The one called Runo kneels in front of Naminissa and Narelina the mont he realises who they are. The other knights imdiately kneel to mimicking Runo-san.

“I’m glad to se that you are both fine, Princess Narelina, Princess Naminissa.”

“Fufu... There is no Mabondo Royal Family any more, you know?”

“So you don’t have kneel before us or call us princesses any more.”

“... Even if there is no country nor Royal Family I don’t care. For you are the Princesses.”

Naminissa and Narelina seem troubled by Runo-san’s words but sohow a happy smile appears on their faces.

Afterwards we joined the knights in their preparations to welco us, Sarona, Haosui and Kagane were to collect firewood nearby, Tata and Mao went to help with the cooking and Naminissa and Narelina went to discuss sothing with Runo-san. Because it turned out like this, Freud and I were left with nothing to do so we went to help in setting a place to eat. ru as always was on top of my head giving a carefree yawn.

T/N: I’m not sure if that really happened but that’s what the raw said, if anyone rembers please tell ... that is one of the problems of releasing one chapter every fortnight.
