Yelle-san breaks the restraints of her subordinates'' people with a swing of her sword.
A normal person wouldn''t be able to break that magic with just that.......especially when Tina''s magic is so strong.
''''Eric-dono, we have just identified the body of Felix Gladio. I didn''t suspect it, but I''m sure it''s Felix himself.
Oh, I see.
Come to think of it, the only reason these people were in the woods was to check on Felix, the man I killed. I forgot.
''''I would like to thank you again. If we hadn''t defeated Felix here, the Begonia Kingdom might have been in danger of being destroyed.
Then he bows his head. The subordinates behind him also bow their heads together, crunching their armor.
''''I only defended this village. I don''t remember being thanked by you guys.
Well, in fact, if I had lost here and this village had been destroyed, the Begonia Kingdom would have been corrupted.
That''s something I experienced in my previous life.
''''Even so, I''m sure Lord Eric has saved me. Thank you.
I say it''s okay with me, but he still thanks me.
He''s going to keep saying it unless I take it.
''Oh, I see. Okay, I''ll take it gratefully.
Sure. I''ll make sure to give you a proper thank-you gift next time.
You''re a really serious person, Mr. Yelle.
I''ve never seen someone so solid.
Irene was also a royal, so she was serious and solid, but not to this extent.
Christo was a really random guy.
Oh, that''s right...!
Um, since we don''t need to thank you for anything, could you do me a favor?
What is it?
If you''re going to thank me this much, then I''ll have you do what I want you to do.
''There''s probably someone in the Begonia Kingdom who''s looking for you.
Maybe?
I don''t know if you really live in the Begonia Kingdom, so I''m assuming you do, nine times out of ten.
I should have asked Christo exactly where he was from in his previous life.
I''m almost certain that he lives in the Begonia Kingdom since I''m sure the only country that was destroyed immediately after my village was destroyed is the Begonia Kingdom.......
''''I need you to help me look for it when I go to King''s Landing. Is that alright with you?
''Of course. I''ll do my best to help you.
Mr. Yelle gladly agreed to do so.
I hope this makes it a little easier to find.
The Kingdom of Begonia is so big that it would be really daunting to find it alone.
''Eric, who is the person you''re looking for?''
Tina, who was listening to the conversation next to me, asks me that question.
I guess Tina doesn''t have any idea who I''m looking for, since we''ve lived together in the village all these years, so I guess Tina has no idea who I''m looking for.
I''ve never met Christo in this life, so it''s only natural that I don''t have any idea.
''Yeah, well it''s a guy I met once when I was a kid. Maybe the reason Tina doesn''t know is because she never met him.
Yeah,
........I hope they don''t confirm it.
The one--the woman?
Tina''s voice seems to have dropped a little.
A cold feeling runs down my spine.
For some reason, if I answer that question wrong--I feel like I''m going to be attacked by some unusual damage...!
No, no, it''s a guy.
I stammered and replied.
''Oh, I see...''
The mysterious chill disappears and I let out a sigh too, probably thanks to Tina''s smile.
Why did I feel so scared...?
While I was thinking about this, Yele-san next to me spoke to me.
''''Eric-dono, I hadn''t heard the answer clearly yet--would you please join our Begonia Kingdom Knights?''''
He looked me straight in the eye and said.
My answer is a given.
''Yes - I''d like to come in. I look forward to working with you.
He replied and bowed his head.
''It''s nice to meet you too,''
Thus, my membership in the Order was decided--.
''''Um, I want to join the Magic Order too, but...''''
Tina comes into the conversation from the side, fearfully saying so.
''''I saw Tina-san''s magic earlier, and I think she''s mastered enough to join the Magic Order. Let me tell the head of the magic knight order from me.
Oh, thank you!
Well, they were testing until I came along.
So Tina won against my people, and then I had a match with Mr. Yelle--
''''Ah........I''m sorry, Yele-san. I didn''t mean to cut you off out of the blue earlier.
I saw Yele-san trying to swing her sword down at Tina and I blew her off without asking why.
No, I don''t care about it. It''s not surprising that it looks like that from the side.
He says that with no expression on his face, so he seems to be saying it to hide his anger, but I''m beginning to understand that this person can only make a face like this.
''''Eric-dono.......no, since I''ve decided to join the Order, I''ll call you Eric-kun.
Oh, yes.
I''m going to be your new subordinate and he''s going to be your boy.
''And Tina, too. I think you should talk to your family again. Especially since Tina hasn''t explained it to you yet, has she?
Yes, sir.
Well, good luck. We can''t stay here too long either, as we have other duties to attend to. We''ll leave tomorrow.
I understand!
Tina responds strongly and turns to me.
''Eric! I''ll convince my moms to follow me for sure!
He said with a smile and ran towards the house.
Oh well, Tina is coming too........
When I left the house and was looking for Tina, I was feeling depressed because I knew I had to leave.
But now that she said she would follow me, I feel so happy and sunny knowing that I can be with Tina, who I consider to be as important as family.
I gave Yele and the others a quick bow before heading home.
They said they would be leaving tomorrow, so I needed to get ready for that.
Before we parted ways, I also asked him about his belongings and what I should prepare for.
Unlike when I left the house, I was able to leave on a lighter footing.
