Knock knock.
“… It’s pretty good.”
A yard that is not very large, but of a reasonable size.
Lush grass and bugs.
A wooden cabin covered in moss and vines.
In fact, it was to the point where I thought a ghost might appear, but this was also quite noticeable.
It is a famous academy with the most expensive land prices, so they managed to find a house for such a cheap price.
Although.
‘There are rumors of ghosts, and a few murders. There are also rumors of it being a hideout for criminals, but whatever.’
The cabin was full of disturbing rumors, but it didn’t really matter to Lee Han.
If a ghost appears, just beat it up.
If the murderer comes, I’ll beat that bastard up too.
And they beat up criminals too.
Then isn’t that the end?
So, this house cannot help but be a very precious house to Lee Han.
Above all else.
“There’s a cliff on the back mountain… Is this heaven?”
You can go cliff climbing!
This fact lifted Lee Han’s heart and he couldn’t be happier.
It couldn’t have been anything other than a successful ‘movement’.
* * *
It was abrupt, but he moved after three years.
It was inevitable.
Getting a job as an instructor means that in the future you will have to go to work for the Royal Academy, not the Knights Templar.
Even if you wanted to commute from your original residence, moving was mandatory if the commute was more than 25 km away.
…if you put your mind to it, you can run for exercise.
Why?
‘It would be better to just move.’
Of course, other than moving, there are also trains and carriages.
As I said before, this medieval fantasy has many deformed means of development even though the Industrial Revolution did not occur.
However, transportation in this world is extremely expensive.
Wouldn’t commoners go bankrupt if they just took the train for a month?
So, it is better to move.
Of course, it was a hassle and a waste to look for a house during the one-week course adjustment period, which is like a holiday for the instructor, but it was worth it when I found a house that I really liked.
Kuung.
“Whew, is this the end?”
“Sir, where should I move this?”
“Just leave it anywhere. I’ll clean it up later.”
“yes!”
I asked her to move only the items that were not breakable, and she did a great job of moving the luggage without making any mistakes.
Although he was so weak that he could fall at any moment, fortunately, Layla had a fairly high level of health and strength.
‘…Was the wardrobe that light to lift?’
Her performance of carrying out alone what should have been carried out by two people.
Now that I think about it, God is quite fair.
You gave me a pretty appearance and good health, but your intelligence level dropped so low.
“… If you take him to a construction site, he’ll be popular.”
Especially to the class presidents.
There is no special talent like me.
Of course, you shouldn’t take it with you because you might get ripped off.
Kuuung!
“Wow, sir! You’re so strong! The trees are just getting uprooted!”
“You don’t pull it out, you just break it.”
“But why do you break a good tree?”
“This tree is already dead. If we leave it alone, bugs will swarm it.”
“I see! But can you break a tree with your bare hands?”
“Anyone can do it if they practice.”
“Wow! Can I do that too?”
“If you follow me for half a year, no, maybe a year, I don’t know what will happen….”
Given her natural talent, wouldn’t it be possible to make her as skilled as the Knights Templar if we trained her for just a year?
‘I think it would be perfect if I raised him as a counselor?’
At that time, I was feeling greedy, like a boxing coach who had discovered a talent who would take over the world of women’s boxing, even though I was lacking in brains.
“-You’re talking nonsense and you’re lying down. Please have a normal conversation.”
Someone tackled their crazy conversation.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“Yeah, come here, you crazy person.”
“…Why are you picking a fight as soon as you see me?”
“You’re the one who’s causing trouble.”
“??”
“… Okay, what am I talking about with a half-troll, huh?”
“Who is the half-troll!”
… This kid has a secretly good instinct.
Jake Palmer.
Lee Han’s only friend was shaking his head with a sigh.
* * *
The warm housewarming culture of celebrating a friend’s move is unfortunately absent from the Kingdom of Pendragon.
On the contrary, if you were to move, would you believe me if I were to visit the church I belong to and ask for a congratulatory speech and make a donation?
And the indescribable horror is that the capital is filled with ‘bankrupt people’ who donate money.
That is why Lee Han became an atheist in his present life, just like in his past life.
He didn’t want to go bankrupt.
“That’s an extreme example. Donations to the temple are merely a gesture of good faith. It’s a wish to go to Avalon when you die.”
“Okay, don’t come all the way here to preach.”
“… that unbeliever.”
Holding a cross, symbolizing the kingdom’s one and only religion, the Light of Light, Jake read a passage from the Bible.
“O Light of the Almighty, O Seven Archangels of Light Who Follow the Light, please forgive the ungodly sinner and bless him, Amen.”
“Is this ungodly sinner speaking of me?”
“Then who could it be?”
“… Yes, thank you very much.”
It was half empty boasting, half sincere.
How many people would read the Bible to a friend who has moved?
You are a great friend.
“If you are truly grateful, buy this cross.”
“This fake guy…?”
“I want to just give, but they say that if you give without thinking, misfortune will come.”
“… … .”
It’s canceled, thank you for that.
A guy like a peddler who grabs people while they wait at the subway station and forces them to buy talismans.
Although he was a grumbling Lee Han, he eventually flipped two silver coins.
It is not that they bought it for free, but they are forced to give it to the church because if they bring a silver-plated cross, they can later receive divine power treatment at a low price.
A cross that is likely to be of rare grade in terms of items.
“It’s a cross given by a mid-level priest, so you can probably get a 30% discount.”
“Okay. Hand over what you brought.”
“It’s urgent.”
Jake grumbled and asked for a cup of tea, but he still handed over the letter he had brought.
Information requested from the Information Guild.
Lee Han could have purchased it directly, but he was doing it on consignment just in case.
“I haven’t found out much information about the Grand Duke because he keeps it so tightly hidden. The same goes for the Duke. All that’s written down is what others know.”
“That’s enough.”
I didn’t want detailed information.
I just read it to see if there’s any information that I might need, as much as other people know.
“… It’s exactly what I expected.”
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like it will be a waste of money.
Information that is worth the price, no more, no less.
After reading this, Lee Han did not hesitate.
Hururuk.
“… A single gold coin becomes a match.”
“Be quiet.”
Lee Han used the letter as kindling to burn it and then folded his arms indifferently.
“They are all pretty crazy people.”
“Irreverently.”
“What the hell is disrespectful?”
They’re all like psychopaths.
* * *
Duke Galahad.
An extremely dangerous man who has become mad since losing his wife, and is obsessed with torturing and killing criminals.
In particular, he inherited the magical sword that has been passed down through the generations of the Galahad family, and it is said that he has the strongest compatibility with the magical sword among all the previous dukes.
In conclusion, he is a dangerous and dangerous psychopathic murderer.
Next up is Archduke Lionel.
Due to the nature of his family’s bloodline, he has many wives.
It’s like forming a pride like a pride of lions.
And he is a human who has inherited the ‘mystery’ that has been passed down through generations like Galahad’s magic sword, and because of this mysterious side effect, he has touched all women regardless of their social status, even maids.
They say that they will not take responsibility for the woman who touched on such a topic and the child that was born to her.
In conclusion, he is a rapist who can’t take care of his lower body and an irresponsible child neglecter.
“But since they are all peerless beauties, they are still popular with noble women… Ha! If you are handsome, you will be forgiven for murder and rape, right?”
“Ahem.”
“Well, I guess that kind of thing is possible since he has so much power.”
Romance Special.
If you are handsome and rich, you will be found not guilty no matter what crime you commit.
… But wasn’t it somewhat similar in my past life?
“Anyway, this dirty lookism.”
“I think you’re cool too, sir!”
“… Thank you, maid. You are pretty too, maid.”
“Hehe, that’s something I hear a lot.”
“What about me, maid?”
“…Huh? Who are you?”
“… … .”
Jake looked genuinely hurt, and Layla blinked blankly, genuinely not knowing Jake was there.
Not knowing what would hurt more.
However, Lee Han was troubled by the relationship between the two men and women, not caring at all.
There is no other reason why he obtained information about the Duke and the Grand Duke.
It has been said since ancient times that if you want to kill a general, you must start by cutting off the horse’s neck.
Lee Han was a good adult who listened well to the words of the old sage, and before contacting Roen and Irene, he was roughly looking into the people around them.
But the results of the investigation are more serious than expected.
Of course, if this world is truly a romantic fantasy, then it’s not that hard to understand.
Because the main characters in the original romance fantasy world are all broken people.
‘I don’t think the children are okay either.’
Parents are the mirror of their children.
This statement would apply here as well, and Lee Han began to understand why ISIS had even asked him to do this.
‘Even I would be annoyed if the children of these people were in my front yard.’
It was Lee Han who unintentionally came to understand ISIS’s mind.
* * *
“If you need help later, just let me know. And… if possible, it’s best to stay away from those in power. I’m not saying this as a knight or noble, but as a friend who cares.”
What the heck?
Jake, who was making a showy remark, either because he had seen a play somewhere or because of Layla, leisurely turned around and walked away.
Well, unfortunately.
“Sir, I think that person is a bit strange. Is there something wrong with him?”
“… No, something like that.”
But to Leila, she was just treated as a sick person.
still.
“He may be a strange person, but he seems like a good person. I could see that he was worried about you!”
“He’s a nice guy.”
Jake, the guy, is the scion of a family with a long history, even though it has fallen from grace.
Did you say that your family fell into ruin due to unfair circumstances?
However, he never forgot his loyalty to the royal family and joined the knighthood, continuing the family line.
There can’t be a bad student like Lee Han and a model student like him.
But such a guy advises you to stay away from those in power and the royal family.
In a way, it’s like suppressing even your own loyalty and giving it to him.
He values righteousness over loyalty.
… it’s a strange thing.
In my previous life, I was bullied because I was an orphan, and the people I thought were my friends were only busy hitting me in the back of the head.
Because in this life, I met a guy who truly cares for me.
“I guess I lived a pretty good life this time, too.”
“Huh?”
“There is something like that. But maid, it’s time to go back to the palace. It’s already late.”
Anyone else would have noticed that Lee Han was trying to change the subject, but Leila had no such clue.
Because he is a good kid who listens to what people say at face value.
… I’m a bit worried because I think it’ll be fine even if I get scammed by the guarantee.
And she does so with her signature childlike, bright smile.
“You’re not going?”
“…?”
“I will live with you from now on. The princess told me to take good care of you, hehe.”
“… Soup, don’t you think that’s a bit off?”
Don’t you know what it means for a man and a woman to live under the same roof?
But she wasn’t that clumsy.
“The princess said that the knight was safe! What did she say? Oh! She said, ‘He is a man who cannot act like a man, so there is no need to worry!’”
“… … .”
“But what is the role of a man?”
“…you don’t need to know.”
What a cruel thing, scratching my pride like this?!
‘You damn lady, just wait and see next time we meet.’
Lee Han is gritting his teeth, looking forward to the next time.
Knock knock.
“Oh my, we have guests.”
“Please step back for a moment.”
It’s a strange smell.
The scent of cornelian cherry drifts gently.
When Lee Han’s sense of remembering a person’s unique scent like a ghost felt unfamiliar, he opened the door quietly.
Even though I’m bare-handed, I’m confident that I can roughly pull out a spine with my bare hands…
“Oh, hello. Hey, hey, I just moved in next door and I’m making some hardened polenta, huh? Oh? Aren’t you Instructor Lee Han?”
“… … .”
“What a strange coincidence that we get to meet like this!”
“hmm….”
I don’t know about anything else, but this guy.
‘You’re really bad at acting.’
Lee Han looked at her.
Irene Windler.
She, Surveillance Target #2, was loitering around the yard with a suspicious appearance to anyone who saw it.
