29 – Welcome to our family-like Knights! (6)

Undoubtedly, Cluna could be said to be the best opponent.

Right now, all I could do was lick my mouth or make it look as strong as possible with time stop. Even if the opponent can’t do it, it’s a monster that has lived for hundreds of years.

Of course, he wouldn’t even be an opponent with some kind of talk. He even had a reason to bring his family. Of course, I, the leader, had the cause.

Now that the Royal Knights have been annihilated, the cause of taking my family was much more relatable than the cause I had as the leader. So I gave up persuading.

Instead, he chose to stage by provoking the opponent. To put it simply, it was the logic of deciding in a duel. Fortunately, the opponent was confident in his skills. accepted right away.

“This is why I couldn’t even react, even against humans.”

“…”

“It’s a move beyond imagination. It’s been hundreds of years since I’ve been caught…”

Cluna said lamentably. Thanks to that, I was able to know that she was a great lady beyond my imagination. After all, he said he had been fighting since the demons appeared.

let alone experience. Technically, I can’t even keep up with my toes. But fortunately for me, there was an equal time stop for everyone. Thanks to you, I barely won.

I put my sword into the scabbard and stepped back. A person like her wouldn’t urge her to fight again if she put the sword in. I didn’t want to fight again.

“Unexpectedly, you seem to be the first to step down.”

“I can’t help but understand the feelings of parents who worry about their children.”

“Aren’t you saying it’s ugly? You could criticize it for not being able to tell the difference between public and private.”

“How can you criticize the parents’ hearts for their children?”

Of course, if it gets too much, I have no choice but to criticize it. There’s no need to say that here and now. Clara, who had been backing away, came this way only then.

“Did you see? That’s our current leader.”

“You seem to have recognized the current leader.”

“Yes, the leader is very strong. And… there is something different from the races I’ve seen so far.”

Saying I’m strong was a word I couldn’t just pass over. But thanks to Clara for holding Cluna’s hand and persuading her. I felt Cluna’s heart slowly change.

“I was wondering why a human being is acting as the leader. Indeed, this level of skill and this level of personality are overflowing with chaos.”

“It’s not that much of a big deal.”

Actually, it’s a really great thing. That’s why I can’t give strength to my neck and move it. Here, points are scored for being humble. Cluna smiled and said.

“Too much humility is poison.”

“That’s right, Captain. Over the past hundreds of years, there hasn’t been a single race that has managed to break through Mother’s magic and catch her back?”

“……Magic?”

“Yes, I am a swordsman. I am also a mage and an archer at the same time.”

Cluna says. While pretending to respond to the provocation, it is said that he restricted his movement using magic. Even if I moved just one step there, the magic was activated right away.

The moment I heard that, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps from head to toe. If you move with the intention of doing a search battle with stupid words, it will be said that you have been subjected to magic.

“You are more versatile than you can imagine.”

“Of course! My mother is a warrior who has been active since her days as a hero!”

“A hero? Are you talking about the first hero?”

“It’s just something that happened a long time ago.”

I couldn’t help but be astonished at Cluna’s reply with a slight blush as if embarrassed. Long before the demons descended from the demon realm, of course there were monsters.

And there was a hero who defeated those monsters. People called him a warrior with respect and awe. This was the content of the records found in the game.

In fact, the first hero even appeared in the game. When you activate the DLC, a dungeon called the Tomb of Beginnings opens. There, you can meet the first hero and fight for yourself.

And if you fought the first hero and received recognition, you could greatly enhance your skills and stats. I’ll check that later slowly. There are more important things than that now.

“Cluna, I have a suggestion.”

“What is your suggestion?”

“How about joining the Royal Knights?”

“Yes? Joining the Royal Knights?”

Cluna, of course. Clara, who was listening to the story from the side, also showed a surprised expression. It was a nonsense, but In fact, she was a much-needed talent for us now.

In this worldview, magic occupies an excessive amount of weight. Because it is the only way to counter the blood method used by the demons. But no magicians? that’s suicidal

In fact, even in the game, without a wizard, even the strongest party can be wiped out in an instant. In other words, the magician is the last insurance for humans.

However, wizards use swords much better than most knights. In addition, you can save magic by supporting from a distance with archery? It’s almost at the level of my daughter’s mod.

“M-Thank you for your words. I have work to do…”

“That’s right! Mother has a job to do as a watchman!”

“Then, Cluna, ask me directly.”

There is an awareness that you are being forced. However, in order to somehow revive the current Royal Knights, talent is needed. So, even if it is forced, they are recruited unconditionally.

“Is the work to be done more precious than the life of a child?”

“……!!!”

“Probably not. Even though it could be a problem, I came all the way here with my troops. Am I wrong?”

“……What do you want to say?”

thank god. To be honest, I was prepared to get slapped on the cheek. Cluna answered as if she would listen. No more tricks. Here, they collide head-on, regardless of front and back.

“Keep your daughter by your side.”

And please protect me who will be behind me!

[What are you drawing like that?]

When she was still a novice. I asked a colleague who was adventuring together. He likes to draw, and would always draw graffiti-like drawings on paper whenever he had a chance.

Of course, apart from what I like, my drawing skills weren’t that great. Anyway, after hearing her question, he thought for a moment and then handed over the paper on which he had drawn the picture.

[Get it. This is my gift to you.]

[It’s graffiti. I don’t need it.]

[Doodle… … Still, I did my best to draw it… … .]

[okay! you can get it! If you get it!!]

He did not give up under any circumstances and moved forward firmly, and the only moment he fainted was when he cursed at the painting. It was strange in a way, and it was also fun.

Unknowingly, I had always ignored his paintings. Because the reaction is fun. Then why did you suddenly give yourself a picture? I was curious about that, so I went to him and asked him.

[But why did you give me the picture?]

[Are you asking about something that happened decades ago?]

[It hasn’t been long.]

[This is true for you, an elf.]

However, when I met him again, he was quite different. The skin cracked here and there like the bark of a giant tree. The bright eyes withered like a flower about to wither. I actually knew.

The fact that he, a human, and himself, an elf, could not be together. For elves, a fleeting moment is enough time for humans to begin and end their lives. He smiled and opened his mouth.

[Even if time passes and I die. Can’t the picture remain with you forever?]

[But in the end, you return to nature.]

[Yes. But you can live forever. Until the moment you forget me.]

[I probably won’t forget it for the rest of my life.]

everything was first He ate human food and experienced the pain of war firsthand. They competed with the Dwarves with whom they were not on good terms to save each other’s lives.

To her, that time was only the blink of an eye. It was truly the best time that could not be exchanged with anyone. At that, he sighed and laughed.

[Go on an adventure again someday.]

[I hate it now. I don’t want to experience this anymore.]

[That’s because it is.]

[…] … what?]

[A new adventure, a new bond. Because they will pile up and eventually make you not feel lonely.]

And the next day, he died. His expression on the coffin was incredibly calm. as if you are sleeping If I shake it right away and wake it up, I think it will wake up again.

From that day on, she shut herself up in the woods. The feeling of loss I experienced for the first time was more painful than I could have imagined. I was so afraid of it, I didn’t want to lose it anymore. I didn’t want to be sick anymore.

But why?

“Keep your daughter by your side.”

Why do you see your face in that man?
