"Mu ......?　What if it's Mister Elysia!

　The man at the other end of the line looked at Elysia and rolled his eyes.
　The man's demeanor caught Elysia off guard and she opened her mouth.

"...... Mr. Shuren?

"Oh, it's you, Elysia!　I've missed this!

　The man gave her a friendly smile.

Elysia, do you know each other?

"Through my father. I've met him a few times when I was very young.

　He was well-built and well-trained, well above average for an adult male. The man is clearly a fighter by trade. I'm sure you've heard of him. ...... It's no wonder he wears the armor of the Knights of the Holy Phosphorus.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm deeply moved by that. ...... and I'm late. I'm Shuren-Daunt. I'm the first captain of the Order of the Right Phosphorus.

　The man greeted us.

Saria, say hello to .......

"Yes!

　Mr. Shuren called out to the blue-haired girl standing next to him.
　The girl greeted him in a lively voice.

"Saria Pendiente, squire of the Kingsguard!　It's a pleasure to meet you!

　Elysia and I were slightly surprised by her overly energetic voice. If you look around you, you'll see that passersby are also paying attention to you.

　When I saw her well-formed face, I suddenly remembered.

I'm pretty sure it was ...... at a joint school exercise.

Yes!　It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if there's anything you need to know.

　That's right.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I think it is.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure. We are now jointly in charge of the security of King's Landing. By the time the Magical Games and the Lucerectus Conference start, we'll have more personnel in place.

　To Elysia's question, Mr. Shuren replied.

What exactly do you want to know?

　Elysia asked Mr. Shuren.

The two of you in uniform are students at the Builders Academy, right?　In fact, I wanted to ask you about the school's security.

"School security: ......?

　Elysia's eyes grew stern.
　It's a sensitive subject for us right now. But Mr. Shuren didn't seem to feel any guilt, and explained the situation in a clear voice.

"Every year, when the competition festival approaches, we knights are supposed to guard the perimeter of the school. This year, however, we don't have as many people on guard as usual. The student council, which is in command, insists that this is not a problem, but I was curious and wanted to know what was really going on.

　It seems that Mr. Shuren is genuinely concerned about our safety. Saria, who was standing next to me, was probably the same way.

　Elysia looks at me silently. I just told her that there might be a traitor guiding the operatives. She's probably wondering how much information to give.

　Chris says there's nothing suspicious about the knight.
　I think we should be honest with them to find out what's going on.

"To be honest, I'm worried. There have been a lot of sightings of suspicious people around the school recently.

"I see. Well, I suppose that's to be expected.

　Mr. Shuren is troubled with a difficult expression.

Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you for your cooperation, but I will advise you to allocate a little more manpower for security.

　I'm going to suggest that we have a few more people on guard duty," Shuren said earnestly, giving me the impression that he was counting on me.

What are you two doing here by the way?

　The question made us silent for a moment. 　
　We couldn't honestly say that we were following the student council president.

We were just taking a walk for a change. I've been busy practicing for the competition lately.

Hahaha!　It's true that you're the ones who are busy with the competition. I'm looking forward to the day.

　"It's getting late," said Shuren, looking up at the sky.

...... It's getting late. If you don't have any business, you might as well go home. I'll have my men escort you just in case.

No, you don't have to do that. ......

Don't worry about it. I have my own knightly code of conduct.



　When Elysia tried to hold back, Mr. Shuren smiled and said.
　If that's the case, I'll accept it.

"Hmm ......?　You're communicating. Excuse me.

　Suddenly, Mr. Shuren took out a 'communication paper' from his pocket and held it to his ear.
　I thought it was just a business call, but ...... Mr. Shuren's expression gradually turned grim. 　

I'm not sure what to say.　There's something wrong with you.

　In order not to be noticed by those around me, I secretly strengthened my hearing with my "tough body" and picked up the voice coming from the "communication paper".

　But all I heard was a deafening noise and a scream.

"Hey, wait ......, what are you talking about?

　Mr. Shuren shouted, and at the same time the communication was cut off.
　While we were all silent at the sudden event, Mr. Shuren opened his mouth with a serious expression.

I'm sorry. Something urgent has come up.

...... What's wrong?

　Elysia's question was answered by Mr. Shuren with an impatient look.

We've been attacked.
