How to Live as a Wandering Knight
Chapter 92.1: ๐๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง (๐)โHello, Repiata-gong.โ
โThank you for your answer last time.โ
Under the sun, rather than a dark corridor, it felt all the more peculiar. The youngest of the Brduhe family seemed almost like a half-dead person.
The voice was cold and dry, and it had a different vitality from the other brothers and sisters of the family. It was like that of a half-dead person.
The escort knight next to him asked Johan.
โWe have prepared some drinks as a token of our appreciation. Would you like to join us?โ
โI gratefully accep. . .โ
While speaking, Johan realized that Achladda had run off in the distance, chatting with Gerdolf, Marco, and Stephen.
โ๐๐จ๐ฐ! ๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ. ๐๐ฌ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ง๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ?
โ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ.To the centaurs who revered the stars, the stars of Brduhe were a source of constant dread, and for the youngest of them, this fear was even more pronounced.
โSo is that why she ran away like that?โ
If she was the kind of person who would talk to knights he didnโt even get along with, then she must have been really scared.
โ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ, ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ช๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ.โ
After all, it seemed that this young Brduhe didnโt care much either. There was no need to call others when it was just about showing gratitude to Johan.
And soon, Johan would come to regret this decision.

Repiataโs camp was unusual.
Normally, a nobleโs fiefdom is organized around the tent of the highest-ranking person.
Knights and lower nobles stay inside, while those of lower status are on the outside.
Of course, only those of a certain rank should be seen inside. But. . .
โWhat kind of arrangement is this?โ
There were knights and lower nobles, but there were too many suspicious-looking characters.
It was fine to have wandering alchemists or minstrels. But there were people who looked like thieves or swindlers rolling around. They sat in the corners of the camp with gloomy expressions.
The highlight was an orc moneylender. The knights frowned upon seeing an orc dressed more lavishly than the nobles, jingling a pouch of gold coins.
โPlease do not misunderstand them.โ
โMisunderstand? I donโt understand what you mean.โ
Brรผnhilde, the knight who brought Johan to Repiata, showed a faint satisfaction on her face. She was pleased with Johanโs tact.
โSir. I hope you wonโt be surprised or startled when you meet gong inside.โ
โ. . .?โ
Johan suddenly felt uneasy.
Whatโs inside the tent? A trap?
Of course not.
The inside of the tent was bleak with no decorations. Johan felt an inexplicable chill. It wasnโt because of the weather.
As he sat down, a servant poured wine into a silver cup. Johan accepted it politely.
โ. . .Thank you.โ

The silence inside the tent was heavy.
The dukeโs youngest was not sociable. The knights beside him were taciturn, and the servants even more so.
Hence, the silence!
Johan regretted not bringing Achladda. He had come with a light heart, not expecting such a silent company.
Johan wasnโt talkative, but he had to initiate conversation here.
โYou are staying out here like this because. . . are you participating in this expedition?โ
A nod. An affirmation.
โAre other family members participating too?โ
A shake of the head. A negation.
โDo you know Count Ganolwood?โ
A nod. An affirmation.
โAre you moving together?โ
A shake of the head. A negation.

Any other knight might have felt insulted. But Johan read the expressions of those around him.
They were also nervous about Repiataโs silence. If it wasnโt intentional, it was fine.
Besides, Johan was someone who could sit through insults if it meant gaining an advantage.

Johan decided to pass the time without conversation. There was a Go board at the back of the tent.
โWould you like to play a game?โ
Repiata nodded. Pleased, Johan picked up the Go stones.
Johan hadnโt considered Repiataโs skill to be strong.
Given his young age and the closed nature of this world where information was not shared. Here, knowledge was hoarded, not shared.
โ๐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐บ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ.โ
However, the result was surprising. Repiata played Go with a calm and deep strategy, seemingly a step or two above Suetlg.
โ. . .I lost.โ
When Repiata conceded defeat and resigned, the waiting knights were even more surprised. It was Repiata who had defeated all the knights under the duke.
Johan knew he was a brave knight, but he didnโt expect him to be so strong on the board.
โWould you like to review the game?โ
Repiata nodded again. Johan sighed in relief. It seemed they could pass the time without speaking.

After completing the review, Johan stepped outside to find the sun setting. He suddenly thought,
โ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ. . .โ
A knight, also a member of the aristocratic class. One couldnโt always just wield a sword. Such social activities were essential.

โIf there are only taciturn people around, itโs unbearably painful. I fully realized that today.โ
โThank you for accepting the invitation today. Gong must have been pleased to build rapport and connections.โ
โ. . . . . .โ
Johan harbored doubts internally. It didnโt seem like they had built any rapport. . .
But from Brรผnhildeโs perspective, todayโs conversation was quite talkative. Compared to others, it was the epitome of closeness.
Indeed, perhaps because their interests aligned, they could communicate so well!
Though he was told to build rapport in advance for the expedition, he had not expected such extensive conversation. She bid farewell to Johan with a satisfied expression.
โMay I ask you one thing?โ
โPlease ask, Sir Johan.โ
โI noticed many peculiar people, are they your gongโs people?โ
โYes, they are loyal people serving gong.โ
