The old man screwed up in training.......or rather, it is because I put a shot in his head one-on-one.


    Well, I am bad, but the old man who was not concentrating is also bad.


    I do the same training as yesterday and go to my room once and take a shower.


    It is recommended that you take a shower with your roommate because you have to hurry up here.


    Yesterday it was with Yulina-san, so as expected I didn''t go in with her, but today I went in with her, just in case.......probably because she''s the same gender.


    No, I already know it''s a guy.


    And then we each moved on to our own work after that.


    I haven''t been told my job for the day. I have to go to Jere now.


    ''''Then I''m going to make the rounds of the city.


    Okay. Okay, then.


    Yeah, good luck on your first job.


    When Elena says that and sends me off with a smile, I feel very motivated.


    I can''t help but think about what it must be like for a husband to be married and work hard for his wife.


    Then I head to the office where I think Yele-san is supposed to be.


    When I get there, I knock on the door. I hear a voice from inside and I have permission to come in, so I say, "Excuse me," and open the door.


    I opened the door and found a beautiful, expensive looking desk directly in front of me. There was Jere sitting in a slightly expensive looking chair again.


    He was writing something on a document on the desk and he still didn''t look at me.


    But soon, the papers were cleared away, and he looked up quickly and quickly.


    ''''Sorry for the wait, Eric-kun,''''


    No. So, what is your business?


    When I ask that, Yele-san replies, though she seems to be a little hard to say.


    ''''Yes, about the content, it''s called guarding the prince.


    ''What?　Oh, escort?　The Prince''s?


    Yes,


    Yelle said that matter-of-factly, but I''m astonished that it''s so sudden.


    Why would you give me a job as the prince''s guard?


    A prince is a prince, right?


    A child of the king, right?


    Your Majesty, His Majesty, Leo........no way.


    "His Majesty Leo wishes to see you.


    I knew it!　I knew he''d do it!


    I''d only met him for an hour, but I knew he had the kind of personality that would do this kind of thing.


    ''Are you sure you''re okay with that?　Such an important job.


    ''''I was indeed opposed to it, but when it''s His Majesty''s order, there''s not much I can say...I''m sorry.


    Apparently, His Majesty Leo nominated me over Yele''s objections.


    The reason being that his own son, that is, the prince and Mr. Eric, are the same age, so they would be able to talk to each other.


    Very appropriate, Your Majesty, Leo.


    ''Mr Eric, it''s disrespectful I have to agree with you.


    ''Mr. Yelle is also profane.


    Let''s not tell each other.


    Then we looked at each other and nodded.


    Or rather, His Majesty Leo would laugh and forgive me if I said it directly.


    ''''I will accompany you, of course. Today''s task will be me and the two of us escorting the prince.''''


    I understand.


    It''s a bit of a unique job from day one, but I''d appreciate it.


    It''s nice to meet you too.


    Then me and Yele-san leave the office and head to the royal palace.


    Since we are two people this time, we''ll ride a normal horse instead of a carriage.


    ''Eric-kun, can you ride a horse?''


    No problem.


    I only did a little in the village, but I''ve done a lot of it in my previous life.


    I was a little nervous because I hadn''t ridden in a long time, but I was relieved because I did it well.


    And arrived at the royal palace, enter through the big door. This is the third time I''ve seen it, but I''m still not used to this size.


    I''m not going to be able to get the same room as I did yesterday when I followed behind Yelle.


    "Your Majesty, are you here?


    I''m here.


    ''Jeremias Astara. And.....


    He glanced at me and I caught his intentions.


    ''I''m Eric Aulin,''


    Mm, boys. You can come in.


    Excuse me.


    Yelle opens the door and goes in. I say, "Excuse me," and then follow her.


    ''Good to see you, Jere, and this is Eric.''


    Sorry to keep you waiting.


    No, that''s all right. And that guy is not here, by the way.


    You mean that guy ... oh, you mean the prince?


    He was supposed to have come as the prince''s escort, but there was no way that he was not there.


    ''Coming soon, the maid is on her way to call for you now.


    ''I see. So, Your Majesty, I have not yet heard the details of today''s escort.


    What?　Yelle didn''t hear about this?


    ''Oh, didn''t I tell you that?''


    I didn''t. ''Wouldn''t it be more of a surprise if I said it then? And your majesty.


    Did I say that?


    Clearly.


    You don''t even remember yourself, it''s too appropriate.


    ''Yeah, I remember saying something. Sorry, I forgot.


    No, it''s business as usual.


    Oh, I knew it was always the same.


    It''s not a blur, is it...?


    Today, he wants to hunt a demon for the first time in a long time. I''d like to ask Eric to escort it.


    Are you hunting a demon?


    How does a prince of a country hunt demons?


    Ah, but His Majesty Leo had the hand that was doing the sword when he shook hands with you, too.


    It wasn''t a hand that he was doing to pass the time, that was not a hand that he was doing, that was a hand that he was doing to pass the time.


    ''It is my Order that protects this country. In order to remember our gratitude to them, we make sure that those who are born as men of our country''s royalty are trained to rival the Knights. Even though he''s a guard, he''s pretty strong. You don''t have to think that hard.


    Yes, yes, I understand.


    So that''s why His Majesty Leo was playing the sword.


    I mean, that''s an awesome royal family. He''s going to train as much as he does to remember to thank the Knights.


    ''''I mean, why did Yele come too?''''


    I thought I''d come along for the ride, sir.


    No, Eric is enough.


    I understand.


    What?


    I didn''t understand it because the story was so pompous, but didn''t you decide what was wrong for me right now?


    He''s 16 years old. He shouldn''t even need a bodyguard.


    I''m not sure that would be appropriate for royalty, sir.


    ''Eric''s the same age as me, so I figured I''d have to follow him.


    Oh, am I alone?


    Yeah, you''re in charge.


    I knew what we were talking about and asked for confirmation, but I was still supposed to be the sole escort.


    I''ve never been an escort before so I''m not used to it, but if I''m in danger, I can save myself, right?


    As I was anxious and thoughtful, I heard a voice from outside the door.


    ''''Your Majesty, we''ve been waiting for you. The prince is ready to go.


    Thank you. Come in.


    When His Majesty Leo says that, the door opens.


    The maid who was having a sort of argument with His Majesty Leo yesterday came in first, followed by a man.


    Perhaps that person is the prince.


    I thought his clothes were a bit more luxurious, but he''s going hunting, so he''s dressed quite lightly and plainly.


    He''s wearing leather armor and a blackish cloak.


    However - the part I was most interested in was not the clothes, but the face.


    Huh....?　Wait a minute, wait a minute ... are you kidding me?


    Your face is a little different from the one I remember.


    But - there''s no way I''m going to mistake it for anything else.


    "I''d like you to meet Eric, this is my idiot son, Christopher Leo Begonia.


    The Prince of Begonia was my best friend, Christo.
