Chapter 76 – Signs of Change
After being forced to close her eyes as Master’s attachment doll.
“Eww…”
—Chop!
When I woke up with an unbearable tickling feeling, I felt a strange dampness along with the sound of sucking something near the pinna.
“Huh!”
I was frightened by that, and when I opened my eyes, the scenery reflected in my field of vision was truly spectacle.
The image of Master sleeping in a curled up position like a fetus, holding my head tightly in his arms.
No matter what he had done the night before, his smooth, white belly was clearly exposed through the cracks in his pajama top, which had been rolled up.
“Master, Master!”
“Muuuuu… I hate waking up early in the morning…”
Why are you doing this?
Did infantile regression really begin? The empire’s strongest knight is going senile. That’s the worst situation I’d like to imagine even in my dreams.
My master is not like this.
To think that a majestic transcendental figure and one who is praised as the guardian deity of the empire sucks on his disciple’s ears like a baby in the morning and whines that he doesn’t want to wake up.
This is like a nightmare. I wish I’d been less awake and was watching nonsense.
“Master, please stand up. It’s embarrassing, so please cover your stomach. Please keep your body tight.”
“Haam… Why are you whining so much in the morning…”
“It’s embarrassing to do this. I have to go to work.”
“Then, with the authority of my Imperial General, I grant the Black Lion Knight Commander a day off… Today, be filial to your master…”
“Master, please.”
There’s no way that I can’t even control the act of sleeping because I’ve become a transcendental person. Master is still talking nonsense as if he is still in the land of dreams.
‘If it was Alicia, I would have just spanked her.’
However, it is not possible to become a disciple and disrespect the teacher or forcefully wake him up. I sighed and got myself up.
Without the use of magic, the light weight of a high elf woman is like a feather to me.
So, with Master hanging over his shoulder, I put on my clothes and continued getting ready for work.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
When Master brought me out of the family, he must have given me a light lantern. If you think about it, then and now are the opposite.
At that time, I was skinny, so I didn’t expect to grow as big as I do now.
After finishing the preparations, I lay down on the bed again, and then Master rubbed her eyes and fully woke up.
“Um… The bed was very uncomfortable. It was as if my feet were running and moving around.”
“Are you just getting up? Then come down.”
“OK.”
Master jumped off my shoulder and brought the wind with a single gesture to straighten his posture.
At the same time, the imperial general’s conquest flew by on the wind somewhere.
“Turn your head for a moment. Well, it doesn’t matter much if you look at it.”
“No. How could you?”
“Come on. It’s done now.”
Master’s recovery came in the blink of an eye.
Spiritual magic unique to the Elves, which could not be learned even if they tried. It looks really useful in everyday life, but unfortunately I didn’t have as much talent as my fingernails in spiritism.
Anyway, I greeted the morning with Master after a long time and asked Master for his opinion before heading out of the bedroom.
“It doesn’t change, but let’s have a meal and go.”
“It’s okay. Would you eat the housekeeping without a disciple just because you feel sorry for your free time?”
“Didn’t you almost eat my ear off?”
“Hmm? Did she do something to you? I tend to sleep deeply when I sleep, so I don’t know what happened…”
“Well, nothing special. I’m fine, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Yes. In that case.”
I thought it would be nice to have breakfast together after a long time, but I tried to tell you. Apparently, Master is leaving right away.
—Wheein… !
I stopped Master for a moment as she approached the window, raising the wind.
It was because there was something I had to say to Master before leaving.
“Master, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh? It’s really a big deal. Yes, what is it?”
I drew closer to Master. Then, she whispered as she slowly embraced her slender body, which had already been much smaller than mine for a long time.
“Have you ever had something difficult these days?”
“…You bastard. What are you doing during the day?
“It’s because the image you showed yesterday and today is so different from before. My teacher, who has always been perfect, is as if he had become a child.”
“Haa, I was wondering what I was going to say. Listen carefully, you stern disciple.”
I was too worried to just let it go, so I asked after preparing myself for it.
—Fuck!
What came back was an extremely painful night.
“Cheak!”
“As you can see, the opening is perfectly fine. I visited because I was worried that you guys were doing stupid things. Do you dare to worry about the teacher on the contrary? Did you look so clumsy?”
The amount of impact as if the skull would collapse. It was like seeing stars in front of my eyes.
Damn, if I had known this was going to happen, I would have just quietly sent it away without saying anything.
“Don’t get me wrong, my son. Just because she’s a little at ease in your presence doesn’t mean she’s distracted enough to worry about.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry.”
Are you angry at your disciple’s presumptuous interference?
Master, who was weakly blushing, grabbed her forehead, glanced at me in pain, and then sneered and said,
“Ha! It’s reprehensible, but at the same time, the disciple’s heart that understands the master’s heart is very commendable. Then the punishment has already been given, so I should give you a reward.”
“Yes?”
-Side!
The image of Master forcibly removing my hand and kissing the area where I had just hit the chestnut. For some reason, unlike the last time, the soft touch stays for quite a long time.
Embarrassed by her double attitude, I tried to face Master, but Master reached out and covered my eyes and prevented me from doing so.
“You foolish disciple. Be more diligent. You are still clumsy in many ways.
“…Thank you for your teaching.”
“Huh. I’m going to open it. I’ve said it over and over again, but whenever you have time, come visit the headquarters. This teacher is always alone.”
So, Master rode the wind and left.
I went to work enjoying the mysterious sensation of pain and vitality coexisting in the same area.
* * *
When I arrived at the unit slightly later than usual, almost on time to work, the front of the guardhouse was quite noisy unlike usual.
“Something? What happened to everyone doing that?”
As I approached the place where people gathered to see what was going on, Agnes greeted me with a confused expression.
“Loyalty! Captain, good morning. But what is this?”
“Ah, you mean this? You’ve already arrived. It’s also the imperial family. The work is done very quickly.”
My men were arguing near a huge box with my name on it.
“What the hell is inside?”
“I don’t know. It’s a special training tool or something. Anyway, I can’t leave it here, so I have to move it quickly…”
[Dear Wolfgang von Schwartz, Commander of the Knights of the Black Lion]
In an attempt to move it to the office before I came, several rank knights clung to it and used dragons, but the box didn’t even think to move.
“Everyone get out of the way.”
“Hey, Captain! Loyalty!”
— Kwajik!
With a pounding heart, he smashed the box with his punches, revealing a very large and heavy greatsword obtained from the relic storage.
I held him in my hand and looked at him with satisfied eyes.
“I, with one hand, something like that…”
“As expected, the captain is not human.”
I can’t keep calling it a greatsword. We should give this guy a name. What would you like
And to use it properly, you’ll need to prepare a sheath or even a ring to mount it. You can’t just carry a weapon like this, can you?
It looks like I’ll have to visit old Eitri’s forge sooner or later. No, you can come visit us today.
“Why are you standing there blankly? Go ahead. Gotta do your routine.”
“Ancient!”
When I waved his hand and sent his men in first, Agnes carefully looked around and quickly caught up with me.
She said, staring at the greatsword I slung over her shoulder with her wide eyes.
“Captain. What is this great sword? I heard you went to the artifact storage yesterday. Did you get it there?”
“Um, yes. Isn’t it wonderful? You can touch it if you want.”
“That… Rather than being cool, it’s too big, so it’s a little burdensome. I’m curious about the texture.”
“Please handle with care.”
Agnes swallowed his saliva and raised her small hand to gently sweep the blade.
“Indeed… It’s a masterpiece. It’s not just large, it’s well-balanced, and it’s a great sword made of good materials.”
“As expected, you have eyes to see.”
Agnes is also a great soldier, so I’m very happy that she seems to be recognizing her worth.
— Glancing
However, her gaze as she swiped the sword body subtly stayed on my lower body.
“Yes. Very, very tall… Dignified ah…”
In addition, he spit out something strangely audible and blushed. I sighed and scolded her.
“Agnes. What the hell is in your head?”
“It’s all because of the captain. You’ve been worrying a lot lately…”
I shook my head and went up to her office with her.
“Yes, it’s work time now. Saddam can be restrained as much as possible and focus on the report.”
“Yes. Then…”
However, unlike usual, today’s topic was quite sensitive.
