## Chapter 95 – (2)
“Sir, have you ever fought goblins?”
“Huh? Uh, yeah… I think so?”
Ever since I became Ethan’s temporary swordsmanship instructor, Ethan had been quickly closing the distance.
The distance in our hearts, and the physical distance too.
As we got a little closer, Ethan started asking me all sorts of questions.
Most of them were about combat.
I answered Ethan’s questions with a slightly awkward expression.
Goblins, I’d killed plenty of them in games, but…
“Wow… Then, maybe… Orcs too?”
“Well… something similar, maybe…”
“Ooh…!”
Ethan stuck right next to me, asking questions, and again I answered with a troubled expression.
I didn’t know about orcs, but I had fought a similarly large foreign villain.
Was he as strong as an orc?
I had experienced many worlds, but I had never fought monsters, so Ethan’s questions hit me hard.
I couldn’t answer his questions confidently.
But I couldn’t honestly say I’d never fought one either.
After all, I was a possessor.
I was possessed by a member of the Black Knights, who specialized in fighting monsters, so it was a bit awkward to say I’d never fought an orc.
Regardless, Ethan was showering me with exclamations of admiration, looking amazed.
“The main road is here.”
“Good, let’s follow the road from now on.”
Dana, the captain, replied to a knight’s words.
Then, our knight order lined up in a single file and walked along the road.
It had been a day since I became Ethan’s instructor.
We had left the forest and finally found what looked like a road.
The timing of my possession was just as we were dealing with the monsters gathered in the forest around the city and returning to the city, so I hadn’t encountered any monsters yet.
Thinking about it, it was a bit of a shame.
I wanted to encounter one at least once, to see how strong the monsters were, and how strong I had become.
I felt a little disappointed, but only for a moment.
As the city walls came into view, those thoughts vanished, and a corner of my heart began to flutter.
“Whoa…”
The first city I’d seen in this fantasy world.
Archers with bows stood on the massive stone walls, looking down and guarding the city, and carriages and people lined up, waiting for the gatekeepers’ instructions at the huge entrance.
There were people with huge bundles on their backs like peddlers, and what looked like adventurer parties with shields and staffs.
As someone who had read this short story, and as someone who enjoyed games and novels in various fantasy worlds, it was a sight that made my heart flutter.
We cut through the long line, moving forward.
It was like a perk of being in the knight order.
Our black armor guaranteed our status, so we didn’t need to wait in line like the others.
Feeling the envious gazes of the many people standing in line next to us, we were able to enter the city without any hindrance, greeted by the gatekeepers.
“Ooh…”
Ethan exclaimed, looking at the city next to me.
Honestly, I wanted to exclaim with him.
It was that beautiful of a city.
It looked like the Middle Ages at first glance, but it was interesting how fantasy elements were mixed in everywhere.
The Adventurer’s Guild, a place selling magic books, long-eared races, and races with short but sturdy bodies.
I saw beings that were only briefly mentioned in the short story.
Among them, a weapon shop caught my eye.
It was a fairly large weapon shop.
At the entrance, weapons made of minerals and materials that didn’t exist in reality were on display.
There were weapons said to be made of mithril or wyvern teeth.
“…”
“Hey, we can’t afford anything there with our salaries.”
Cecile, the female knight next to me, said to me as I stared intently at the weapon shop while walking.
I had memorized her name because she had been next to me since the quest started.
Hearing those words, I asked Cecile.
“How much does a sword made of mithril cost?”
“Hmm… more than 20 gold coins, I think?”
“What’s our salary?”
“It varies a little each month… but if you look at it as an annual salary, it’s about 2 gold coins?”
In other words, even if you were a knight in a fairly famous knight order, you would have to save for 10 years without spending a penny to buy one.
Cecile said that those kinds of weapons weren’t really displayed to be sold in the first place.
It was just a kind of show to demonstrate that they could make weapons even with such difficult minerals and materials.
I nodded at her story.
Cecile told me not to even look at them, but of course I was planning to buy one.
I believed that the gold in my inventory would take care of the money.
If possible, I wanted a shape and size like a jungle machete rather than a typical sword.
I wonder if they take requests too?
Thinking about that, I followed Dana, the captain of the knight order, and arrived in front of a building.
This place, which looked like a dormitory, was the Black Knights’ barracks.
From now on, I would be living here.
“This is…!”
Ethan seemed to have deep emotions as he looked at the building with teary eyes.
In contrast, the other knights seemed relieved to have finally arrived home, and they were busy taking off their armor with slumped postures.
I also watched for the right moment and took off my armor as the other knights did.
“Haa…”
I turned to look at Cecile when I heard a voice next to me.
Dana, the captain, was also taking off her armor behind her, so I looked there too.
Somehow, the simple act of taking off her armor looked sexy.
Why did it look so sexy just from taking off her armor?
The conclusion I came to was that it was all because of the two’s figures.
Due to the structure of the armor, the size and shape of their chests were barely visible when they were wearing it.
Suddenly, the two huge masses that were revealed as they took off their armor caught the eyes of the men.
“Are you Ethan?”
“Yes, sir!”
“Follow me, I’ll show you to your room.”
A man approached, greeted me with a light nod, and took Ethan away.
He seemed to be taking Ethan to introduce him to his room.
It was understandable since Ethan had just joined the knight order.
“Then I’ll go too.”
Cecile patted me on the shoulder and went into the building first.
“Hmm,…”
From now on, I could only move based on my instincts.
I had to move at a moderate pace and naturally find the room I used to live in.
First of all, it seemed like our knight order was doing well enough to have one room per person, so I slowly watched and checked the rooms that people entered.
I couldn’t watch all the rooms, but most of the knights went up the stairs, and no one entered the two rooms lined up on the first floor.
Seeing that, I decided to open one of the two rooms on the first floor.
The two rooms were next to each other, making it even more confusing.
Even looking at the doors, there was nothing that could be a hint as to whose room it was.
Other rooms had at least a few knife marks on the door to mark it as their own.
These two doors were desolate.
“…This one.”
I chose the innermost room.
As I slowly approached and reached for the doorknob, I heard a voice from behind.
“Is there something you need from me?”
I turned around and saw Dana, the captain, looking at me.
“…No, I thought it was my room.”
“Oh? Ah, it’s easy to mistake since it’s right next door. Go to your room and get some rest.”
I answered honestly, and then the captain naturally told me that the room next door was my room.
Only then was I relieved.
“…Yes. Ah, wait a moment…”
“Hmm?”
I stopped Dana, who was about to go into her room.
There were too many people earlier, so I didn’t bother trying, but I thought now was the perfect time to investigate Dana’s wall.
[Wall: Maternal instinct, humiliation play, massage.]
“…”
“Is there something on my face?”
“No, ma’am.”
After reading the wall, I gave a short answer and entered the room right next door, which she had told me was my room.
“Interesting.”
It was a rare wall.
Humiliation play and massage.
If I could prepare the situation properly, it seemed like it would be an interesting strategy.
After calming my excitement with a breath, I looked around.
The room was pretty good.
I couldn’t see it in detail in the comic I read because it was a short story.
Seeing it like this, it was a really nice place.
It was spacious, the bed and blankets were all very decent, and as expected of a knight order’s dormitory, there was also a armor stand and a space to store weapons in the room.
“Better than a studio apartment.”
I put away my armor and weapons and headed to the city to sell gold and get money.
The knight order had free time from now on, so no one stopped me from leaving.
Rather, some groups seemed to be heading to the bar with their arms around each other even before me.
“Sunghan, let’s go together!”
“Yeah! We should have a drink on a day like today!”
The groups looked at me and waved, urging me to come quickly, but I gently refused.
“I have a prior engagement.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do…”
The dejected group quickly regained their energy and left for the bar.
They were acting like they were already drunk before even drinking.
If they were acting like that after taking off their armor, who would think of them as knights?
A bar in the Middle Ages.
I was honestly curious, but selling the gold was the priority.
So I wandered around for a while and finally arrived at a place like a fantasy world’s jewelry store that dealt with jewelry and accessories.
