How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 35. The time for independence comes (2) I'm embarrassed to say it myself, but now I can confidently say that I've grown quite well.

Although he is still only 13 years old, he is quite well-groomed compared to his peers and is slightly taller than his peers.

It's a pity that the color is still lacking, but let's wait a little longer.

Now, after 2-3 years, it seems that my perfection in which women die in a flash will be possible huhuhuhu.

The first hope for the future is the laid-back NEETs, but the second hope for the future is Casanova.

“Is it nice that it’s warm?”

I have a lot of things to worry about lately, so I feel that this kind of break is really precious.

I want to spend time leisurely without working like this for

about a year.

I quietly closed my eyes.

The lukewarm sun's rays are wrapped around my eyelids.

I heard the rustling of leaves in the garden.

It's perfect for a nap.

If there's just one thing I'm sorry for...

“Ha!”

“bout!”

....I can hear their spirits in front of me, and the sound of weapons clashing nonstop.

Right now, in front of me, the three of Kania and Asha Seina are fighting each other fiercely.

This side is a peaceful daily life, but if you fall 25 meters forward, it is a battlefield where dirt, sweat, and the sound of fighting spirit run rampant.

what is this gap?

The genre of life I want is to be as everyday as possible.

“Arel! Are you looking straight ahead!!”

Kania noona shouts.

I couldn't help but raise my head, narrow my eyes a little, and look ahead.

I waved my hand as if I was watching.

There is no particular reason why those three are sparring.

because i made it

Recently, my knights' skills had reached Aura Expert Beginner level for a year, and I was just about to hear that Kania noona needed a sparring opponent of a similar level.

That's why I just told the three of them to hit and hit on their own, then lay down and take a nap using the manager as an excuse.

However, it is not that three people compete indiscriminately.

The female knight cooperates, and Kania has to fight alone in a two-on-one battle.

It's not like you have to compete one-on-one every time to become an experience.

It is also an important training for Kania noona.

Dagul is the scariest thing in the world.

No matter how strong they fly and crawl, if they come in groups of similar ranks and beat them, they will be beaten to death without even making a sound.

So, you need to learn how to respond in advance.

It is also an opportunity for the female knights to learn how to breathe.

“....sister. You have to see both of them at once.”

“I know!”

That's what he says, but his movements seem impatient.

In terms of Aura output and skill level, Kania's sister is on top, but it's clear that she's struggling against the pincer attack of the other two knights.

On the other hand, the two female knights seemed familiar with this situation.

I don't know the details, but in Seina's case, she had experience being assigned to a dangerous area, and in Asha's case, it seemed that she had undergone similar training before.

After all, the experience is that active duty knights are on top.

The amount of aura is slightly superior to the two female knights.

Having a lot of aura doesn't necessarily mean reaching a high level.

As I emphasized before, the important thing is the output.

The reason that Kania-sister rose to a higher level than the two of them was that I had learned how to draw out auras efficiently and with higher output through my special technique.

In addition, mana circulation efficiency was no joke from the beginning.

I hope the female knight team can see Kania noona's aura line method and learn it by guessing.

It's not bad against sparring each other, so if you put it like this, it will grow well on its own.

Anyway... I hope nothing happens in the future like this, right?

After all, taking a nap without doing anything is the best.

huh. by the way

That night.

everyone is asleep The time when only the signs of soldiers on patrol and maids on duty could be heard.

“…it’s annoying.”

I heard the muttering of a very displeased woman.

Queen Elia of King Theonel Ernesia.

Instead of the fancy dresses and accessories she usually wears, now wearing a thinner, sleep-appropriate dress, she sits on a chair with her chin propped up in her room, making a displeased face.

“Did you say Arell?”

Elia muttered as she read the letter in her hand.

It is not self-talk.

In a corner of the room, there is someone who is listening to her words, although the presence is faint.

A tall woman dressed in black.

She is a contact from Elia's family.

“Do you know why I said I was annoying?”

Elia talks to the woman in black, but she doesn't answer.

Her only role is to deliver messages from the family.

Elia sighed as if it wasn't funny.

“Looks like he’s been working quite a bit lately.”

she recalled.

It's already 12 years old memory.

The gray-haired baby.

The child's face, which at the time I thought was just an ugly gray color and didn't even pay attention to it, now came to my mind.

In the meantime, Elia was not very interested in Arell.

The child's mother, Leafana, thought of it as a fly that could be thrown away at any time.

How much more would her child come into sight.

But it seems that it was a mistake.

Elia corrected her perception.

“Thanks to that, it's been bothering me quite a bit.”

It doesn't matter if it's just a little brainy kid.

If you become a scholar, you can get rid of it as much as you like.

“Didn’t you know that the sword has gotten better these days? That... Come on... What was it?”

“.. I am an Aura Expert.”

Elia, who is not interested in swords, couldn't remember it, so the woman in black eventually added a brief explanation.

“okay. Being the strongest is a good thing. He’s doing great as a successor.”

It is gratifying to see her son gradually attaining a dignified status as the next king.

However, on the other hand, Elia's face, explaining the fact, was not very bright.

“But I heard a very disturbing story from Cheil.”

When he praised his son who had become stronger a while ago, Cheil felt embarrassed and inadvertently said a very disturbing fact.

“Arel. It sounds like the kid has something to do with it.”

It is said that it was none other than Arel who developed the practice method that raised the best skill.

“It was he who taught Pinelia’s child.”

When I researched it with care, there was almost no place where the name of Arell did not come up here and there.

And... What really offended Elia was the letter the woman in black brought from her home.

“It is really unpleasant.”

In the letter, there was a concern that the first base might be in danger because of the rumors about Arell.

It's really useless nagging.

Elia dismissed it like that.

“In the future, the only heir to the kingdom is that child. There can never be anything other than that. No way.”

I don't want to admit that the child is the vessel that can be the most disturbing.

However, as long as there is even the slightest concern, it cannot be overlooked.

Because there is an if in the world.

“okay. It shouldn't be.”

It was really annoying anyway.

Certainly, the warnings of the head family cannot be ignored.

Elia wrote a new letter and gave it to the woman in black.

She nodded her head as if accepting it.

“okay. I guess I'll have to use my hands.”

After the woman who received the letter disappeared, Elia talked to herself like that.

“At least put it out of sight.”

* * *

The next day.

“hmm? What did you say now?”

The king frowned during the royal meeting.

It is because of the appeal raised by the minister on the following agenda.

“It's about the third prince.”

The person who brought up those words was Earl Garwyn Tenvest.

He is an aristocrat with quite the speaking power within the aristocratic society.

“Is it about Arell? What happened?”

Once speaking is allowed.

When the king gave permission to speak, Count Garwin calmly spoke.

“The third prince will be 14 next year too.”

“…14 years old. Has it already happened?”

He muttered as if his feelings were new.

“Then, are you talking about that too?”

As if realizing what was about to happen, the King murmured softly.

And at the same time, his eyes were slightly contemptuous.

Whether he noticed it or pretended not to know it, Count Garwyn continued his speech without changing his expression.

“Coming-of-age ceremony soon.”

In the Kingdom of Ernesia, a 14-year-old is almost considered an adult.

Of course, it's just a traditional story, and usually I don't pay much attention to it except for coming-of-age ceremonies.

“Even if it’s not the case, the 3 princes are showing off their talents enough through various activities, so I think this coming-of-age ceremony is a good opportunity for him.”

“opportunity?”

“Aren’t there some good territories?”

These bastards... The King unknowingly clenched his fists.

Some of the wise servants shook their shoulders.

Are you still talking about that?

The king managed to contain his anger.

If this was a place to discuss the current situation, I would have stretched my muscles without hesitation, but now was not the time.

“Are you saying you want to give the land to Arel?”

“Nobody will be dissatisfied.”

A slight smile hung on Earl Garwin's lips as he said those words.

There is no way you don't know the meaning of that smile.

“There are many territories that need three princes.”

“The palace needs it too. You know.”

“Yes I know. I know all too well.”

There was something meaningful about the tone that somehow offended the king.

“Recently, the names of the three princes have been heard even in other countries.”

“…I guess so.”

“And… uhm… this…

” “Tell me. what?”

Count Garwin's deliberately muffled attitude made the king feel uneasy for some reason.

but i can't help but listen

“Just in case, 3 princes to the next throne...

Kwaang!

A shock echoed through the room.

The king hit the table with his hard fist.

He was so angry that even his fists were welling up with an aura.

“Where are you talking nonsense like that!”

The desire to catch the author right away is like a chimney, but I managed to endure it.

It doesn't seem like he's doing it alone.

In addition, there are nobles who have a stronger voice than that man in this seat, but they do not show anything.

Even if he incurs anger, he is a scapegoat who will be beaten instead.

“The successor is the best! How many times have I told you!”

“But what do the three princes think…

” “That child is not interested in the throne either.”

The king had already carefully observed Arell several times in the past.

It's not that I wasn't worried at all.

However, Arell has no interest in the throne.

Rather, they support Jeil from behind.

Count Garwyn also kept his mouth shut, fearing that if he touched him more than that, he would genuinely anger him.

“But the important thing is that such rumors are already spreading in other countries.”

“Duke Gast...

The man who had been silent until now opened his mouth.

A representative family that follows the Crown Prince first among nobles.

Everyone here knows that this man is the Crown Prince.

The head of the family gave his opinion now.
