My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

57 – Moonlight Clan (1)

Sharply forged swords hung all over the walls like ornaments.

At the bottom where the tip of the sword touched, there were portraits of various demons, and at the top where the hilt was facing, there were portraits of warriors who served as commanders of knights.

The head of the Imperial Guard Knights’ office.

This is the final destination of countless knights who have protected the continent and the empire.

Like this, the pride and beliefs of many people were alive and breathing.

The captain of the knights this time, Carlos Polgram, pressed his temples as if he was in trouble.

While running the Knights, there are always big and small problems…

This time, there was one member who was the most difficult to deal with.

“Did you call, Captain?”

As if he had read Carlos’ mind.

At that moment, the door to the director’s office opened and the protagonist in question appeared.

Drifting silver hair and a rapier on his back.

Because her beautiful appearance draws attention unrivaledly, anyone can easily identify her.

Karin Phillips.

The eldest daughter of the Philip family of knights, and a new member of the Royal Guard Knights this year.

Within the Empire, he was a knight known as the future leader of Ludgale Liquid, the strongest hero.

But for Carlos.

It was just one member who was making trouble for himself.

“hmm… Aren’t I wasting my time?”

Carlos looked at her and spoke.

“I was in personal training, but that’s okay. I was just about to finish it.”

“I’m glad.”

He tapped the desk with his fingers a few times, then got right to the point.

“I applied as a volunteer for the academy dispatch service this time.”

“yes. Any problem?”

Karin’s puzzled eyes reached Carlos.

I couldn’t understand why the leader had called him because he had applied for a dispatch of one member.

But Carlos sighed inwardly.

‘You’re not the problem, your dad is the problem…’ .’

The two great knight families of the Empire.

Viscount Philip and Count Polgram.

Philip’s head of the two families, and Karin’s father…

Colchester Philip was a senior in the knights of Carlos, the head of Polgram.

It has already been 4 years since he retired as the vice-captain of the Imperial Guard Knights.

At the same time as Ludgale Liquid, who was the general manager of the time, announced his retirement, he, the vice-captain, also retired immediately.

The senior Colchester, who was expected to become the general manager before Carlos, gave up all of them and withdrew from the front line.

Thanks to this, Carlos was immediately given the position of captain of the knights with two vacancies.

There was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble at the time, but anyway, during the 4 years passing… He led the messy knights well and completed his own reorganization.

It was only a few months ago that Colchester’s daughter, who was a senior in the past, joined such a knighthood as a new member.

The greatest swordsmanship talent in the empire to succeed Ludgale.

A knight who will succeed the ‘Imperial Sword’ Philip family.

Karin Phillips.

As the leader of the Royal Guard Knights with a clear hierarchy and beliefs, it is not particularly difficult to train and educate her with a high reputation.

However, as far as the selection of service outside of the knights, to be dispatched to a specific region.

I couldn’t help but notice the retired senior.

“Didn’t you apply when the notice of dispatch to the northeastern part of the empire came out last time?”

“At that time, I was completely new. I wanted to learn more about the skills I needed to have as a knight under the captain, rather than immediately entering combat dispatch duty.”

The answer flowed straight out of Karin’s mouth like liquid water.

… To be precise, that wasn’t the whole reason.

The northeastern part of the Empire is the most practical dispatching area near the border, but it is also the guardian area within the Empire where the Philip family is in charge of regional defense.

Of course, if you go there, you will see your father, and you will encounter many things with him.

For her, who doesn’t have a very good relationship with her father, to work in a dispatched area where she has to see her father often is a big deal.

For that reason, Karin did not apply for dispatch at the time.

“Besides, this place of work is an academy, so I think it will be much easier to adapt to than other places… is not it?”

Unfortunately, everything she said was true.

Karin is going to be dispatched for higher achievement and efficient work.

Carlos had no reason to stop her.

-I’m sorry for asking you this, Carlos. Still, I hope my daughter doesn’t get involved with the academy. If possible, I would like to send it from the base of the knights, and if dispatched, to the border.

After Karin volunteered to go to the ‘Academy Demonstration’ last time.

These were the words left by Colchester, a senior who had been looking for Carlos.

Colchester didn’t specifically ask her to bring her to the Northeast, but he hinted that he wanted her to stay away from the academy.

For reasons unknown, he seemed extremely wary of his daughter coming and going to the academy.

And it happened and it wasn’t long before.

According to the imperial order, a notice was issued for dispatch to the academy, and Karin applied for it without hesitation.

The troublesome behavior of the two daughters gave Carlos a headache… .

In the end, I had no choice but to raise Karin’s hand.

No matter how much Colchester is said to be his long-time senior knights, the Imperial Guard Knights are not an insignificant group whose operation is determined by someone who has retired.

Colchester knew and practiced that conviction too well, so he would have only spoken at the level of a request.

And in Carlos’ opinion, Karin’s decision to go to the academy was very reasonable and there was no reason to stop him at all.

Now was the moment to respect the member’s choice rather than listening to the senior’s request.

After deliberation, Carlos raised his head and spoke to her.

“You are right. I just wondered why you wanted to go to the academy because you are the most promising member of the Knights. Permission for dispatch, Karin Phillips. Until a week from now, make sure you are all prepared to relocate.”

With the director’s permission, no doubt.

Karin’s expressionless face spread into a bright smile.

“Thank you, Captain!”

one week.

If I waited a week, I could go see Sacher again.

* * *

A peaceful Sunday lunch.

On the bench under the tree near the academy gate,

I was being beaten up by my friends.

“Satchel needs to be scolded. How can you come back at lunch when you promised to meet in the morning?”

“… Lazy Sacher.”

Even if you have ten mouths, you have nothing to say.

Today is the day we decided to do the ‘Understanding Dungeon Exploration’ group task that we had planned before.

Everyone decided to gather in the morning and set off to explore the dungeon… .

Because I overslept, we didn’t meet until lunchtime.

Thanks to this, Schnika and Ruen waited for a long time at this meeting place.

But I also had some regrets.

“Shunika, Ruen. Do you know that it’s Alchemist’s Day… ? I went there yesterday, but it ended really unexpectedly too late. In case you’re wondering, I’m telling you, I did a great job there… ”

“Satchel. It’s not even morphine, why are you talking so much nonsense?”

“… Talkative Sacher.”

“… … .”

I was in an indescribable shock for a moment.

Not even morphine…

Not even morphine… .

The words Schnika threw out turned into a huge stone and lingered in my mind.

morphine…

To think I was treated like morphine… .

It could not have been the most embarrassing moment in recent times.

“sorry… .”

But I also knew my mistake, so I quietly bowed my head.

I felt sorry for my friends who waited for me, and I felt ashamed that I broke my promise today even though I kept my promise.

A person who is always late or absent at least once when a group meeting is held.

The type of human that any academy undergraduate would hate.

That was me today… .

“Hmmm. You seem to be deeply reflecting, so I’ll take a look. You must never be late next time!”

“… … .”

Fortunately, Shunika forgave him with his bright expression.

Even the silent Ruen agreed with her words with a small nod.

… they are angels

My friends must have been angels who had lost their wings somewhere.

As much as the time of waiting without a promise, quick forgiveness is never easy.

No matter how close we were, what was wrong was wrong.

Feeling infinite gratitude for the generosity of my friends, I put my hands together again and apologized.

“I’m really really sorry. I will never do anything like this next time.”

“Hi-Hi. good. Satchel, have you eaten?”

“uh? I haven’t eaten yet.”

As soon as my perception issues are over, the topic shifts right to eating?

I took out a lunch box from where Shunika appeared.

no, what is it

Did you take it out of the magic bag?

How can a bento suddenly come out of thin air?

“This is what happened, let’s eat a sandwich! The weather is nice and the wind is blowing. It’s a perfect day for a picnic!”

… … .

Apparently, her greed to eat a sandwich quickly seemed to be the biggest reason why she forgave me for being late.

Her happy-looking face gave an expression as if she had already been on a picnic.

I bit into one of the sandwiches she handed me and laughed.

“Do you like picnics that much?”

From the other day, I sang a picnic, a picnic song…

It looks like you’re trying to make your wish come true today.

Schunika took out a new sandwich and nodded.

“huh! Hi-Hi. Ruen also wanted to go on a picnic with Satchel.”

I was taken aback by those words and turned to Luen.

Ruen really said that… ?

Luen, who has no interest in anything other than magic training?

just as expected.

Ruen was staring at Shunika with his characteristic expressionless eyes.

It’s a gaze that completely denies her words.

“… I never said anything like that.”

“Eh? You did that to me last time. Satchel is weird.”

“… I never said anything like that.”

“Huh- Satchel, Satchel. luen is weird I must have forgotten what he said.”

Shunika clung to me and said.

Ruen didn’t even hear him and took the sandwich from Schnika’s hand and ate it.

He even added a word.

“… Talkative Schnika.”

“That is too much!”

… … .

It was a peaceful Sunday lunch.
