As I stared at the battered training hall, trying to figure out what to say, I heard footsteps approaching.

　Probably the staff of the Holy Knight Association, who heard the sound of the window glass breaking, were rushing towards me.

(For now, I'll just have to explain it to you as it is at ....... ......)

　I don't know if you'll believe me or not, but I'm going to tell you ...... what just happened.

　I'm not sure if you'll believe me, but I'll tell you what just happened.

What's this?　What was that ...... sound?

　He was dressed in an eccentric costume, and when he saw the horrible state of the rehearsal room, he opened his mouth.

　There was an indescribable heaviness in the air.

I'm not sure what to say.

　One of the lower-ranked holy knights muttered to himself.

(If you're a branch manager, that means that ...... you're a crown jester. ......)

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

　Crown Jester.

　He is in his early thirties.
　He is about 180 centimeters tall and has a thin body.
　Red spade on the right cheek.
　She has a red spade on her right cheek and a black heart on her left.
　He is dressed in a black-and-white clown costume with a black bartender's vest over it.
　On his head, he is wearing a black-and-white hat that is folded in half.

　It's not good to judge a man by his appearance, but ...... he had a vaguely suspicious air about him.

Well, let's see: ....... I'm sorry, can someone please explain the situation to me ......?

　A bitter smile appeared on his face as he looked around.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

"...... Is that him?

　Mr. Crown's gaze turned to me.

"Oh, yes!　Watch out, Branch Chief!　He's as strong as a demon for such a small body. ......!

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of this.

You're the one who attacked me first!

Geez, ......

　One against two, he was outnumbered.

"Hey, hey!　You (・・・・) saw it too, didn't you?　I'm sure you guys () saw that little brat suddenly go berserk!　...... Hey (・・・・), did you see (・・・・・)?

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

"......!

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

(......) Well, no wonder.

　To them, this instructor is their immediate superior.
　There is no merit in defying him to protect us.

(But then, ...... we're at a disadvantage. ......)

　Don Golug is an instructor here.

　The only evidence we have of this situation is what we say to each other: .......
　As the head of the Orestes branch, he will naturally believe what his men say.

　Then...

"No, sir!　The one who broke this room is ...... Instructor Dong!

　One of the lower-ranked holy knights shouted loudly.

　And with that...

I'm sure I saw it with my own eyes.　I've seen it with my own eyes!　The instructor went on a rampage and destroyed this training hall!

"Branch Chief!　It was all the instructor's fault!

　Everyone around me shouted the truth at the same time.

"You guys, ......!

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

"............, it's true. But!　But it was inevitable!　It's just that those little bastards had the nerve to talk to me!

"...... I see. By the way, ...... that bottle of liquor you put there. Is that yours?

...... Oh, what about it?

The holy knight work rules prohibit drinking while on duty. ...... You know that, don't you?

　I'm sure you're aware of that.

I've been doing this for decades.　I've been an instructor here for decades. ......?　I'm the rule here!　I'm the rule here, and I've always been the rule, even when I was the last Branch Chief, and the one before that!

　You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.



"Huh. ...... Understood. Then-- Instructor Don Golug, you are dismissed as of today.

What the hell, ......?

Your dismissal letter will be sent to your home. Thank you for your service today.

　Mr. Crown took off his hat, bowed, and walked past the instructor as if to say, 'I have nothing more to say.

　The next moment.

The next moment: "...... Don't talk to me like you know what you're talking about, you just got here last week!　--Sand Blast!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm sure you've heard of it.

"Haha ....... --"Can't you see the difference in power?

　The sand sword shattered as if it had hit an invisible wall.
　And that wasn't the end of the story.

"What the hell is this ......?

　The instructor slowly fell to the ground as if he was being held down from above.

The instructor slowly fell to the ground as if he was being held down from above. "Oh, no, ......!

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It seems that he is being held down by a tremendous force and cannot move even a little.

(Is this ...... "gravity" or ......?　(Is this ...... "gravity"? ...... No, it's not.)

　The only thing affected by the mysterious force is the instructor's body.
　If gravity is holding him down, the crumbling floor around him should be creaking more.

　This man ...... may look like a joke, but he's pretty strong .......

　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

I'm sorry, I'm interrupting your cleaning. I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

　Shortly thereafter, the instructor was freed from his mysterious power.

"d*mn it, ....... Remember, Allen(・・・・)=Rawdle(......).

　Finally, he spat that out and ran out of the training room.

"Yeah, yeah, .......

　For some reason, I seem to have been the only one who bore a grudge.

　For all intents and purposes, he was taking it out on me, but there's nothing I can do about it, even if I complain.

(......) I hope he doesn't give me any trouble.

　When I was thinking about it.

You're Allen Rhoddle, aren't you?　I've heard a lot about you. Welcome to the Orestes Chapter of the Holy Knights Society.

　Mr. Crown welcomed us with a soft smile.

I've got a lot to tell you .......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.

　So we cleaned up the rehearsal room with brooms and dustpans, together with Mr. Crown.

After that, we all split up.

　After that, we all split up and finished cleaning up the training hall, and me, Leah, and Rose were gathered in the branch manager's office.

"Come on, everyone. Please feel free to sit down.

　Ms. Crown said, pointing to a sofa in the center of the room.

"Yes, excuse me.

　As we slowly sat down on the sofa.

"Here you go. It's fruit water made from noel berries.

　The woman who had been waiting in the chief's office laid out glasses for the four of us on the table in front of us.
　She was probably Mr. Crown's secretary.

Oh, thank you very much.

　After three hours of pretend play, we were thirsty and grateful for the drink.

"...... This is good!

"......!　The refreshing aftertaste is just right!

"Mmm ......, a good drink after a hard day's work.

　While we were enjoying the fruit water.

"Here we go. ......

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before.

I'm sorry about that,........ I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can contact us at .......

　He then apologized for the incident that had just occurred.
　He is a clownishly dressed man, but ...... apparently not a bad person.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'd like to introduce myself.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm the head of the Orestes branch of the Holy Knight Association, Crown Jester. --I just arrived here about a week ago, so I don't know my way around!

　I've only been here about a week, so I don't know my way around!
　...... He's a hard man to get a hold of.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. It's nice to meet you.

"I'm Leah Vesteria. It's nice to meet you.



Rose-Valencia. Nice to meet you.

　When they had introduced themselves to each other, Ms. Crown let out a deep breath.

I was surprised to hear that. I didn't think you'd actually send me such a 'big' guy. ....... I'm not sure what to make of it.

　...... Big?
　I'm not sure what the word means.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.　I'm not sure what you mean by "big", but I'm not sure what you mean by "big".

　He lifted the corners of his mouth, wondering what in the world made him so happy.

I've heard a lot of rumors about Leah and Rose as well. The Kuro and Shiro Princess, the Bounty Hunter, and Allen-Rhoddle. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.
　...... A man who talks a lot.

I'm sorry.　I've got a little suggestion for you all. ...... Can I tell you something?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what it is.

Would you be interested in an expeditionary mission?

"Expedition ......?

　The suddenness of the conversation made me ask back.

"To put it simply, it's just going out of the country and doing the work of a senior holy knight.

"Out of the country ......?

"Haha, I'm not talking about going to a country that far away.　I'm thinking about a place about an hour or two away by plane.

No, but I have ...... schoolwork to do.

　It would be a ...... lie to say that I have no interest in traveling abroad.
　But you can't disregard ...... the classes at Senbi Academy.

I'm sure there are a few students at the school. I'm sure the students at the school have a week-long "fall break" in a few days. This is a petite expedition to take advantage of that period!

"I see. ......　

　You're right, there's no problem with that.
　But there was one thing that stuck out to me.

...... Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

Yes, of course.

Thank you. So why do you think so much about expeditions?

　The moment I asked that question, the corner of his eyebrows shot up.

"...... is a good question. Well, to put it bluntly, ....... It's not a good place for you to get your training.

"...... What do you mean?

"Between you and me, ......, the senior holy knights belonging to the chapter are not that great, to be honest.

Is that so?

Yes. The best senior holy knights are all working abroad. And the best of the best are on government escort duty.

　Mr. Crown sipped his fruit water and continued his story.

It's kind of an 'open secret' between ...... and the rest of the industry. Anyway, that's why I'd like you to be assigned to the expedition.

"Oh, I see. ......

The expedition will take place in Daglio, which is known as the Land of Sunshine. It's relatively calm and ...... not a bad place to start your expedition, don't you think?

...... I see.

　You will find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
　I'm not sure what to do.
　They seemed to have the same idea.

I understand. Since this is such a great opportunity, I would love to go on an expedition with you!

"Oh, you'll take it!　Then let's learn about the duties of a senior holy knight until the fall break!　So let's learn about the duties of a senior holy knight until the fall break. ...... Well, can we go to the reception desk and have a little lecture?　It's a short lecture of about thirty minutes, explaining the rules of employment for holy knights and their main duties.

"Yes, I understand. --Yes, I understand. - Now if you'll excuse me.

　This is how we ended up going on a week-long expedition during the next fall break.

I'm sorry.

　After Allen and the others had left the branch manager's office, the woman who served as the Crown's secretary asked with some trepidation.

After Allen and the others had left the branch manager's office, the woman who served as the Crown's secretary asked with some trepidation, "Are you sure you want to do this, ......?

"Hmm, what are you talking about?

The sunny country is a war zone where a top-secret(・・・・) extermination operation is scheduled to take place in a few days, right?　Sending students to such a dangerous place is ...... too dangerous, I think. ......

I'm sure the three of them will be fine. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the three of them will be fine. After all, there is a (・・・・・) transcendent (・・・・) who has broken the curse of the 100 million year button (・・・・・・)!
