CHAPTER 37: THE OATH OF THE KEIBIHEI (KNIGHT GUARDS)



Hurst-san came down just right after the demon beast has turned into a domestic chicken and it seems like Hurst-san was also able to see the moment when the demon beast turned into a domestic chicken. 


There are still quite a lot of demon beasts left in the sky so we really couldn't talk much but so far we've concluded that this (power) happened because I came from another world and it's not because it was Hurst-san who made this knife and also not because of the heirloom sword that shaved blonde ashime gave.


Since Larry-kun tried it as well. He holds the knife and points it to the demon beast but nothing happened. 




... ...Un. It seems like it's an exclusive Holy Sword for me.





After realising that sort of reality all I could do is laugh vaguely. Well, for now, I just handed to the two of them the detox water. It seems like the both of them wasn't injured so there's no black fog that came out and their body only brightens up. 




And then what awaited us is――

  


     ―――― a one sided trampling down


... ...Well yeah the both of them are originally strong already. 





After seeing the state that shaved blonde ashime is in, I couldn't help but worry that both of them might also be in a similar state...! So I rushed all the way here but look at them. Without even feeling hesitant they went and faced off those huge types of demon beasts.


The incoming enemies from the sky is easily defeated by Larry-kun's skill and Hurst-san isn't a human anymore... 


That's why maybe there's no point for me to come here but when both of them eat my dish they became so much stronger.




It seems like both hands of Larry-kun has those light blue flames wrapped around it and it has a wing-like shape and he started jumping around the sky. While Hurst-san started to release an aura like thing and once he released it, in a blink of an eye three demon beasts were beheaded. 


They are certainly invincible. 



What's more, if the already healed keibihei that also got stronger joined the fray then it will definitely be unfavourable towards the demon beast, even though there were so many black shadows around the sky, they're already exterminated.




If they could immediately defeat in one go this flocked of demon beasts in one go then there's no need to worry for any more demon beast coming from behind. 




It's just like what Larry-kun said. It's not like the barrier completely disappeared. It's just that a part of it has considerably weakened and only some demon beasts were able to go outside of the barrier. It's probably something like an accident.



All that's left now around the training grounds are the dead bodies of the demon beasts and some of the demon beasts that got turned into domestic chickens walking around between the small spaces left by the demon beasts.


And as soon as Hurst-san confirmed that it is already safe around, he immediately returned me to my room. I think he did it to hide me before the people from the palace returns. Even at times like this Hurst-san is still worrying for my sake and protecting me so that I wouldn't have to be dragged on troublesome things.



... ...But I did use my skill in front of a crowd. 


In the palace where there doesn't seem to have any human presence, I started thinking about the things that might happen from here on.


I was suddenly dragged in summoning to another world and while not knowing anything I just decided to live happily here. Having Hurst-san eat my dish, cured Larry-kun's body and learning that he has an older brother who loves him too much and then little by little I got closer to everyone from the knight guard. 




Being dragged in this world and it's not like I'm here for a noble cause



But... ... .





"... ...It was fun"






... ...Un. It was a lot of fun.



Taking care of the herb garden, being thankful towards the kitchen. 



Those days weren't so bad. 






"... ...But now they're ending like this... ..."






I couldn't help but let out a sigh. As reality sinks in more and more, my heart is hurting a little. 




I wonder if Hurst-san, Larry-kun and everyone from Keibihei is done in cleaning up things. But I don't really have anything to do so while carrying this gloomy feeling it was night time already and just like always I fell into slumber.





And the same as before morning comes, I got up from my bed and dressed up.





   ――  I'm sure from today onwards this sort of lifestyle will change.


Since I went and use my skill in front of a lot of people.. ...I'm sure by now they'll find out about my skill. Even though Hurst-san might do something about it or Thruster-san will pull some strings but everyone from the Keibihei is working for this country. They have the responsibility to report this to the higher-ups. 





And well I'm sure there wouldn't be any ill-intent... ...but I'm sure that shaved blonde ahsime will tell since he has a loose mouth. Since I always get all sorts of information from him. 


... ...It can't be helped.




I did use my skill knowing that it might happen. 




But I still think it's going to be fine, and the result of that is this lifestyle of mine will disappear then all I have to do is accept it. 




"Alright!"



I said as I try to psyche myself up. 




It will be fine! I can live happily wherever I am. 


And right on time...I heard a knocked on my door, the same time as always. 




"Isarai-sama"



"Shina-san!"



"Yes"




It is the same deep voice and cheerful voice.



And the me who already got used to both of their voice, I opened the door just like before.





"Good morning"






After greeting both them, they also returned the same greetings.



It's the same thing as always.






   ――But all of that will be over today.



I wonder where will I be taken? I wonder who are the people who'll decide over it. I wonder how they plan on using my skill? I wonder how they will treat me from here on. 




... ...I don't know.




But I made sure to smile in front of them. Because I don't want to drag then and have them worry the both of them. That's why I will not say it.




"Where will you be going today? ?"





'It would be fine to go anywhere...' I want to say it. 


And just when I was about to say it, their eyes were both filled with gentleness... ... .



"... ...Just like before, let's go to the knight's office"





"Un. Just like before!"



After saying that, Larry-kun hugged my arm. 




It's really the same as before. 







Seeing both of their expression I realised that I was the only one who is being frantic.




... ...And here I was being solemn by myself, could it be they're ignoring it!





Well, what happened yesterday is different from what is going on right and there could have also been a chance where nothing will change. 




It hurts... 




The fact that I was being depressed all by myself since yesterday...it hurts. 


Well if nothing is going to change then that definitely the best option. I told myself. That's right just like always, let's go to the knight's office. 





And once we reached the knight office, a not so usual scenery unfolds... ... 





"Err...umm....this is....?"





I unconsciously leaked out a voice.


I was so surprised I couldn't help as my eyes aimlessly loiter around. Seeing the flustered state I was in, Hurst-san softly whispered to my ears. 




"It seems like they have something they want to tell you, Isarai-sama before the palace personnel returns"



"... ...To me?"



Hearing his words I couldn't help but get more surprised. 


The people present are the familiar faces are everyone from kei Bihei Brothers.





It seems like they're the people who got hurt yesterday and right now they are all standing sharply in front of me in a row. Their eyes filled with such a strong force that I could feel the strength of their gazes from the tips of my hair till my tiptoes. 



When I used to spend my time in the Knight's Office they're always wearing nothing but their undergarments but right now they are wearing their uniforms properly and even buttoned everything. And when they're doing their training they didn't bother much even though they get dirty but right now even the boots they're wearing are all sparkly clean.




... ...It's completely different.






They're different from the usual them... ...!





And on the center of them is shaved blonde ashime, who is looking right straight at me. 






"I've heard that you came from another world"



The always haughty laugh is now a calm sounding voice. To the point that hearing his voice right now feels nice. 




"We deeply apologise for all the rudeness we've done to you. It wasn't the proper attitude we should have treated you, who came from another world."


 It seems like the 'You/anata' they're talking about is me. (Eunie: They used to call her in a rude way of 'you'. Anata is a more formal and respectful way while "omae" is the rude form)



​I have never been called like that by them ever since I came here so I'm a little bit surprised but those golden-brown eyes of his are serious... ...




"... ...It's fine if you get angry. It wouldn't even be weird if you hated us and it wouldn't be surprising if you ignore us. It would have been fine."




With his eyebrows scrunched together, he looks like he's in so much pain but I know that he's trying his best to tell me.



"But without any hesitation, you rushed towards us and unhesitatingly showed and helped us your power"



It wasn't just his golden-brown eyes. 



Everyone's straightforward eyes were looking right at me.





"We will never forget what you've done to us ―― the kindness of your heart"




After saying that, everyone unsheathed the sword that was on their waist all at once and with similar motions, they placed the unsheathed sword right on top of their chest and then they thrust it towards the skies.  







" ―― This sword is for your sake"





And then the silver blade that reflected the sun seems to have brightened up.








"We swear not to tell anyone about your secret" 




The small crowd's simultaneous actions have a great impact. Their straightforward eyes and calm voice and all that is directed to one person... ... .





"... ...I'm glad everyone has become healthy again"




Somehow I felt like an inner part of my body heats up. That's why my voice seems to tremble a bit... ...But to avoid it from happening I desperately tried to hold it back.




"This might be my selfishness but... as much as possible I don't want anyone to learn about my skill. If it's possible I don't want to be bind by anyone, I want to be able to find something I'd be happy to do. That's why I feel really saved since everyone is willing to protect my secret."





I wanted to say 'thank you' but I held my words and added, "Ah, about your manner of behavior, it's fine if you just do it like usual"




"However!"




"Please put your swords down."


"Haaa"




Upon hearing my words, they simultaneously dropped their swords.




... ...Wow. what's with this liveliness?






"Please just act like usual. To suddenly change how you treat me, even I would find it weird"





I looked at each of them with a look that says, 'please' and then for some reasons, his golden-brown eyes averted his gaze from mine.




"It fine even if you say 'omae' (rude way of You) or country bumpkin" 


Well it will also be kind of weird if he suddenly calls me 'anata' (formal way of you) 






"... ...! That sort of thing shouldn't even happen!"




"Ah! Right! That's right! It's that kind of voice. That shouting like tone is the same just like always. Well the one a while ago sounded different from normal that I suddenly thought that you're a knight"





"I AM ONE!"






He went all kiiiii in his loud voice. 


With his tone of voice that appeared in a blink of an eye makes me relieved. This screech like loud voice of his...





"... ...Then is it fine if I call you by your name?""






"Ah. Yes. It's fine"






Calling me 'anata' is a lot weirder and awkward. 






"Shi... ...na... ..."




"eh?"






"I, Isarai Shina!"



An unexpected full name!




It seems like calling me with either one is no good. But well since he'll be calling me by my name then I should also properly start calling him by his name. (Eunie: BANZAI!! I don't have to write Kinpatsu Surikkomi Ashime that long ass name!!)




"Yes, Ash-san?"


With a complacent like smile, I called out to him and for some reasons, his golden-brown eyes suddenly widen.......


"... ...!? That's right! I am Ash! Ash Claude!"




"Yes. I do know that"



You are someone who loves to haughtily laugh, likes weeds and shrieks a lot. 



Un. I know.




And then while we were conversing with each other, Hurst-san who was beside me spoke up. "Isarai-sama, they'll be protecting your secret. There won't be any changes that will occur to the lifestyle you have right now."




"Yes"





... ...Just like always.



Hurst-san who is escorting me, spending my days with Larry-kun. The days of cooking dishes and them telling me its delicious.




Last night my heart has been hurting but because of the keibihei I've started to feel warm inside that, I couldn't help but want to conceal what I'm feeling right now. That's why I couldn't help but feel the corners my mouth to slacken... ...


As I looked towards Hurst, while still in that sort of state, what's in there is the same light blue eyes that he has. Those eyes that is always expressing all sorts of emotions. 





But somehow right now, those eyes of his has a mysterious colour... ...





"Isarai-sama I'll be returning to the North"
