Huh ... I''m tired today.
After finishing the training from morning to noon, I was briefed on the job of a knight.
I heard that they mainly patrol the royal capital and guard the buildings and the city.
Occasionally, like Yele-san who came to our village, there is some sort of expeditionary duty, but I was told that it''s not that frequent.
Today ended with just going to various places and being briefed, but tomorrow I''m going to start working too.
The afternoon ended with the briefing, so I wasn''t that tired, but the training in the morning was the most mentally exhausting....
That deputy commander seemed to have been drinking since yesterday, and the hangover and the fact that he drank even more on the spot, plus the fact that he had such a fierce battle with me, made all the contents in his stomach come out.
Moreover, that bastard........vomited again the moment I carried him on my back to the doctor''s office......!
No physical damage at all, but the damage to my psyche is really enormous.........
I took a shower and changed my clothes, but I still feel like I can smell something....
No, it probably smells.
I''ve been heading to the cafeteria with Yulina-san since a while ago, but I feel like I''m being distanced from her since the morning.
''''.........Yulina-san.
Hmm? What is it?
Do you smell that?
I''m sorry.
It''s quite hurtful when you say it while your face is averted, so please don''t do it...!
No, it''s because that''s the smell of that deputy commander!
It''s not like I stink!
With that in mind, I came to the diner for dinner.
Even there, as I''m walking, I''m turned around by someone near me.
I get turned around with a disgusted look on my face, and the person leaves my vicinity.
Am I that........stinky?
It''s like an angel that Yulina-san is near me, even if she''s some distance away anymore.
I get my food and take a seat.
Of course, even there, no one is around me.
I''m sure the smell will go away if you take another bath. So you''ll be fine.
Thank you very much.
He looks at me, depressed from being so blatantly avoided, and encourages me.
I didn''t expect to be mentally damaged here as well........
''''Eric! Eulina!
Tina came up to me, waving her hand at me.
I was able to smile with my food - but the frown on her face as she came over here.
''Hey Eric, Yulina. Doesn''t it smell like something in here? Let''s change places.
Ugh...!
''Well, I hate to tell you this, Tina. This stinks from Eric.
''Miss Yulina, I''m a little hurt by the way you put it. I don''t know how else to explain it to you myself.
That explanation certainly fits, but I''d be very mistaken if I didn''t say why.
''What ... Eric, did you fart or something?''
''Thanks for making me look pretty, Tina, but this smell is a little bit tighter than that.
I''ll explain everything from the ground up. To excuse the fact that this wasn''t my fault.
''So the vice-commander of that order threw up on Eric?
Yeah, yeah. So that''s not my smell. It''s the Deputy Commander''s.
''Eric, I think that''s a bit different too...''
No, this is the smell of that deputy commander. I won''t argue with that.
''Did Eric ... throw up? Hey Yulina, where did that guy go?
You''re the deputy commander, so maybe you shouldn''t call him that...
Yulina, where is he?
''Huh? Eric took it to the infirmary, but I don''t know what happened after that...!
For some reason, Tina is closing in on Yulina-san again, giving off a black aura.
''''Tina-chan, come eat with me!''''
I was about to stop when I heard a voice in the distance calling for Tina.
''Oh, Viviana!''
Tina retracted her black aura and replied with a smile.
Tina''s friend...?
It looks like you''ve made a friend in the Order of Magic, thank goodness.
Doesn''t it stink in here?
Guh!
I can''t stand it when people don''t even know my name...!
''Oh, you''re Eric? Tina-chan''s been telling me all about it!
''Uh, uh, yes. It''s Eric.
I get nervous when someone probably older than me suddenly approaches my face and says that with a smile.
''''........Viviana-san? Away from Eric.
''Eric, you stink...''
I hope you''ve moved away.
It''s not good!
I smell like I stink! Right, but not right!
You see, the reason for the smell is because of the deputy commander...
''What? It''s not my fault!
Hmm? No, it''s not your fault...
I thought you said you were the deputy commander.
Hmm? What a misunderstanding.
"Eric. This is Viviana Spano, deputy commander of the Order of Magic.
Oh, is that right...!
That''s why you responded with the deputy commander.
''''I''m sorry, I didn''t know I was being rude...''''
It''s okay - and more cracking talk is fine.
Really? Well, I''ll just go along for the ride.
He''s cheerful and friendly, or rather, he''s someone who talks to you so casually that it''s hard to believe he''s the deputy commander.
''''Well, you are...?''''
"I''m sorry I''m late. My name is Jurina Kashpal. It''s nice to meet you.
Yulina-san had been sitting down, but now she stood up, bowed her head and introduced herself.
As expected of an aristocrat, her appearance was very beautiful.
''''Yuri-chan, nice to meet you. Yuri-chan, don''t be so stiff and speak more normally!
No, no, I''m not afraid...
Is this really the right response...?
It could be Yelle, the deputy commander who threw up earlier, and Viviana. Maybe the big guy here and I are talking a little too casually.
''Ah, yes Eric! I''ve successfully joined the Order of Magic!
Oh, yeah. Good for you.
Eric, are you not being very responsive?
He puffs out his cheeks and glares at me as if to express his displeasure.
''That being said I knew Tina would definitely get in.
I know best how good Tina is.
If I couldn''t get in because of that magical power, I don''t know what kind of guy could join the group on the other hand.
''''Well, that''s not true Eric it''s embarrassing that you believe in me so much.
He puts his hand on his cheek and wiggles it. ''You''re so dexterous to be able to move like that while sitting down.
''Mr Eric,''
The four of us were eating dinner when Mr. Jere came in.
''I''ve looked for you, after all, it''s hard to find you in the dining room.
I''m sorry to bother you. Can I help you?
I thought it was indeed rude to remain seated, so I stood up to talk.
Yulina-san and Tina also got up, but only Bibiana-san sat down and continued eating her dinner.
She''s a fast-paced person........
''''This has something to do with Yulina-san, though.
Wow, is that for me?
Yulina-san is puzzled by being spoken to out of the blue.
''''I''m sorry to say this is out of the blue, but we have a room available and I''d like Eric-kun to switch rooms.
''Eh....''
The suddenness of the story made me lose my voice.
I was hoping for a change as soon as possible... but it''s too soon, isn''t it?
