Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)

Chapter 26: Secret mission of the kingdom’s holy knights

“Oi, I know that there is a person called Naomi Masatsugu here! Come out!”

It was around 12 clock in the middle of the night.

We were sleeping in the carriage which the coach was carrying and somebody was calling us outside of it and it was an angry voice.

There were footsteps and there were 20 people gathered here.

“Master…”

Lucia was frightened and began huddling in my arm.

Since she was mistreated and has a trauma so she’s bad with sounds at night.

Therefore, she relies on me from the bottom of her heart.

There’s the necessity of her being independent someday but no matter how much of a S-class adventurer she is, currently she is nothing but a pitiful child. I have to protect her.

I began caressing her head and the frightened facial expression was slowly disappearing.

She trusts me to that big of a degree.

“Please go back to sleep. It’s not a time for children to wake up, Erin also. Otherwise you won’t grow taller?”

I said that as a joke, Lucia with addition of Erin as I thought who was awake both nodded.

“Okay… I feel safe thanks to Master. Earlier I was really anxious, but now I don’t feel that terror anymore. As I thought Master is amazing!’

“But, causing explicitly trouble to Masatsugu-sama is a bother. As expected you should switch with me…”

“There is no need for children to overexert themselves. That’s the job of adults like me.”

“Shii is also an adult~ Looks like I’ll fight together with Masatsugu-san~ Let’s do it~”

“Please let me come along aswell, Naomi-sama!”

As I expected Shii and Silvy were also awake.

The always carefree Shii and calm Silvy for some reason have joined my fight and were pumping up.

Uumu, why though.

Well, it’s not bad too see their abilities before the battle with the Dragon.

Of Course I alone am alright, and from hereon I can finish all of our enemies instantaneously.

That way, it won’t be connected with their growth.

I am already the strongest so I don’t need training, but the girls have more places where they can grow.

So that they can get close to their master me even a little bit, that’s why them coming with me in the battles might be good training for them.

Besides, I’m here and not even the worst case can happen so it’s a relief.

With that reason, me, Silvy and Shii came from the back of the couch and went down and stood on the ground.

The vanguard who was yelling earlier was now letting a awkward voice and fell backwards at my sudden appearance.

Compared to my dignified presence his posture was inviting laughter.He was like a noble with long bonbon blond hair.

“Fufufu, what are you doing? Don’t make us laugh without a warning. Kukuku”

I was looking on the knight and was honestly trying to hold my laughter.

The knight faced my way and his face instantly turned red with anger.

“You bastard! Don’t think you will be let go after insulting Duke eldest son of the Rodel duke house and head of the knight’s order! You mere peasant!”

I immediately ignored his yelling.

“So, what have you all came here for? We were in the middle of our sleep. Do you have any common sense?”

I asked them.

“You peasant! Listen to what I am talking!”

When I heard his voice, I once again looked at the guy who was still on his behind on the ground.

“Fufufufu, oi, get up faster. Surely you weren’t born just to make me laugh? Unexpectedly, it might be so. That itself has value. You can be a jester. Fufu”

On my words, the so called Duke once again gritted his teeth in regret enough to get bleed a bit, and his face was turning darkish.

But, couldn’t bearing anymore from my continual making fun of him, he somehow managed to rise up in disgrace

Well, since his allies helped him get up it looked sloppily.

I again began laughing and it show on my face unwillingly.

“Kukuku, you’re a prodigy at making me laugh. Please stop it is the middle of the night, my stomach is sore.”

I was gasping for air and for a first time in a long time I’m short of breath.

Fuumu, this guy is terrifying. He came to kill me by laughter.

“Earlier it was white then red, now it’s black like a rotten tomato, somehow it’s a funny face”

“Umm, Naomi-sama, I think we should hear him out soon… Our opponent has become too sad.”

“There’s also that. Oi, you said you were Duke? Explain yourself to why you have come to this place!”

He glared me once again with resentment when I ordered him.

His dusky face filled with his hatred made it seem like he was cursing me to death.

I wonder why? I tilt my head in confusion. Did I do something wrong to him?

He gritted his teeth again when he saw my action. This time his face was bright red and let out mysterious sounds of Kugigigi, and began explaining himself.

“Don’t get so full of yourself you mere commoner! We are the kingdom’s holy knights! We have imperial orders from the King himself! Going against imperial order is immediate death penalty! Your actions from earlier are mockery towards us who have received imperial orders! No, that’s not all! You’ve ridiculed the eldest son of a great noble house, it’s inexcusable! I will not take you to Ishijima-sama either! I will behead you on this spot!”

While Duke was saying, his hair was becoming crumpled up and he swung his sword.

Uwaa, his face and head were with mud and his clothes dirty from earlier falling on the ground.

I don’t wanna get close to him much…

“To draw a sword against Naomi-sama~Do you intend to defy God~? I think it would better to stay away~ Even more so when you don’t know your place~”

“That is right. Naomi-sama is the only person who has the right of having full cooperation of the Guild Union. He’s not an existence to be talked about from some noble. Do you intend to officially disobey the Union?”

I was trying to calm them down.

“Duke, it’s as you heard. It’s impossible for you to talk back to me. You should quickly go back. Also tell Ishijima that if he wants to see me, he should come to me himself. Like a coward he cannot come see me, even if I’m an old friend of his. I’ll voluntarily go to him and greet him.”

“Waa~ Masatsugu-san is kind~ Extending mercy to people like Duke~”

“Naomi-sama isn’t so uncaring to that extent. Now, as you heard it Duke. You can go back with your tail behind you thanks to Naomi-sama’s kindness. First of all it’s the middle of night, isn’t it? If you want to seek an audience with Naomi-sama, then you should use common sense more.”

“You baaaaaaaaaaastards! How much are you people going to ridicule me!?”

He rushed at me with his sword while yelling.

It wasn’t just him it was the people who followed him aswell.

But, no matter how many people come… Even if they were the elite holy knights it was all the same.

To me it looked like nothing more than slow motion, this moment I could make them beyond recovery over 10000 times.

Frankly to be said this is a warm up, yet it would be at a level where it was hard for them to discern the attacks.

But this time the purpose was something else. I am already at the maximum stat, but the girls can still grow through combat. But for them to catch up to me they’ll have to put more than effort. I also want to know their power, I want to see how far they can go.

For that reason I looked at Silvy and Shii. The girls guessed my intention and smiled a bit then said “Leave it to us” in a small voice.

“By the way~ Shii is sort of a god of deceased~ Yup, Requiem Aqua Soul~”

Shii was reciting that and at the same 5 orbs manifested that looked like water spirits and assaulted the knights.

I see it’s a summoning spell that uses the spirits of water in this world. I could finish them in a moment, but it was enough for the knights.

Even now the water spirits use chantless magic, and the knights got blown 50 meters away and the damage was to the extent of fainting.

It’s Shii alright. She probably thought it was troublesome to deal with humans so she used summoning magic instead.

That’s her alright, choosing a logical yet lazy option.

Well, I’ll give her a pass.

Silvy had a singular long knife, and turned herself towards Duke and his 5 men.

“Idiot! What do you think you’ll do with that knife!?”

Sigh, you’re the idiot.

“…….Ha?”

“Oi, oi, why did you drop your sword?”

“No, it’s you.”

“Hurry and pick it up… GUhee!? I cannot move my hands.”

“Why!? I cannot move my hands at all.”

Fuu, they cannot see the movement of such skill.

Already they cannot stand on the battle.

If they fought with me, it wouldn’t even be a comedy.

“Be thankful I didn’t kill you. I cut the tendons on your wrist with a poisoned knife. If you do not use healing spells, you will never move them ever again.”

She exercised great precision and speed with that knife.

It was too slow for me but for the knights it was more than fast.

Without even being able to feel pain their wrist tendons were slit and couldn’t grasp their swords anymore.

Well, I’ll give this a pass aswell.

“Fuu, it’s fine. Silvy and Shii have realized my intentions. I said so earlier know your place, and live quietly.”

Duke’s was quivering with a face filled with annoyed face when I said that.

But, I continued

“You should hurry or never again you will move your hands?”

They were on the verge of crying with pale face.

“God damn it, remember this!”

They ran from here while holding down their wrists.

The other knights who were fainted got woken up and followed along with Duke.

“Fumu, pitiable people. Well, I did laugh from them coming here. I give them a pass as clowns.”

While I was muttering to myself, Silvy and Shii came like they were expecting something from me. What are they up to?

“Shii tried hard today~? It was always Lucia-chan and Elin-chan it was unfair!~”

“I would be happy if you would give the same treatment to me aswell~.”

While both of them were saying that they were presenting their heads.

“Eh, was it about caressing?”

“Exactly~!” “Ofcourse!”

“You can ask for other rewards…”

“No! Caressing is fine!” “It-IS-FINE”

Sigh, What makes them so happy about me caressing them.

I tilted my head in doubt while caressing their head.

Both of them were making a face as if they were on the summit of happiness.

Sigh, what makes you so happy about this.
