<King’s POV>

“How was it?”

I was listening to today’s report from knight captain Gordi, who seemed to be looking forward to it.

“It’s more than I imagined, even at this point, I’d say they’re about thirty levels strong.”

“What!”

When I heard the report, I was surprised at the unexpected result. However, this was just the beginning and Gordi continued with the report.

“I used up to 60% of my strength to land an attack.”

“If you didn’t go that far, you couldn’t hit?”

“Yes, before my attacks didn’t hit once.”

“Did that make him conceited?”

This is important. A child of this age becomes a tengu {TN: Long nosed} as soon as he becomes a little stronger than his surroundings.

“Not at all.”

“What …”

“I think it’s probably because Sophia is there.”

“I see …”

The sister can’t beat her brother in melee combat. However, the brother can’t beat her in a magical battle. It may be good that they’re well balanced.

“Did you see Sophia’s ability?”

“Yes, but …”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“The moment I hit Zeros, Sophia unleashed killing intent.”

“Ah, I see I see!”

People who don’t usually get angry might get scary when they do, Sophia may be the type.

“Is the report over?”

“Yes it is.”

“Good……”

That’s it for today’s report. Now it’s about the social party.

“Is it okay to proceed as planned?”

“I don’t think it’s a problem at all.”

“At all… is it?”

This guy rarely lifts people up to this point. Does he like him that much?

“I would have liked to recommend him as a knight after his graduation.”

“Hm, not anymore?”

Of course I thought he would join the Knights after graduation.

“He’s the type that works better by himself  than under someone’s orders.”

“What a waste”

“No, it’s not. If there’s an emergency, I’ll ask him directly.

“Huh? Are you saying he’s going to be an adventurer?”

“Yes. I expect him to be.”

They’re getting along well. I wish he could get along well with other people too.

“Tell Margrave Adolfo that the plan will be carried out without delay.”

“Understood! And your majesty”

“What?”

“About Shana …”

“I’ll leave that to her”

“Understood”

Before, she was always silent and expressionless, and I, her father didn’t even know what she was thinking. It hasn’t changed now but it’s easier to understand what she wants to do.

“I beg your pardon, then,”

“Thank you,”

Let Zeros do his best in the social party. I’ll have Gordi ask what he wants as a reward.
