Part 4

The west side of the Rox kingdom rampart is currently in a half-destroyed state.

The cause is an extremely powerful offensive magic.

In the first place, this is the second time the hero’s party is coming to this kingdom.

Since there was a fool who tried to mess with those girls when they came to this kingdom before, the angry girl destroyed the rampart with magic.

I happened to hear that the hero’s party also caused a similar incident in the capital of Holy Republic Lenaria. It seems Rena temple always assigned a convoy whenever the hero’s party takes a stroll in the city.

That’s why, to prevent similar accidents like the last time, our kingdom also decided to assign a convoy to the hero’s party. The one in charge of that is me.

A big country like Holy republic Lenaria can assign any number of guards, but our the Rox kingdom knights number no more than 20. When considering about the need for maintenance of public order for the festival that will begin tomorrow and the usual defense of the highway, that number can’t be avoided. It won’t be bad if normal people were drafted to work around that area, but they’re not skilled enough. So, we had to recruit as many skilled individuals as possible.

Thus, we decided to recruit skilled freedom fighters as their convoy.

The criteria for selection is someone who won’t cause unpleasant feelings even when looking at the hero’s woman and isn’t hostile toward the hero.

Gallios is someone who I can trust after long years of association, and even if I only know Kuro for a while, he is skilled; moreover, he is calm, and I can’t see him as someone hostile toward the hero. The most important point is that I can’t see him as someone who will cause unpleasant feelings with his harmless appearance.

That’s why I want to employ their help no matter what.

「That’s why, please. Will you help me with this job？」

I bow to them.

「I’m not in the mood to do it….」

Gallios is saying so as he continued.

「In the first place, I don’t think that I’m suitable for the job if the other party is a noble」

Gallios has the same attitude toward anyone. He spoke with the same tone irrespective of whether it was toward me or royalty of another country. Though the king of Rox didn’t mind about his attitude, it’s might be considered a rude action toward the other country.

If we were unlucky, we might anger the hero.

「No, no need to worry about such things since the one to accompany them is Almi… Is the princess. We’re going to escort them from a secret place so no suspicious persons will approach them」

I tell him about my plan.

「Princess, are you talking about Almina？」

I nod to the question from Gallios. Almina, who will turn 17 this year, is the youngest princess of the Rox kingdom.

On hearing that the hero is soft toward girls and since it won’t cause any unpleasant feelings to the hero’s women if a woman was to accompany them, adding to her perfect manner, it was decided that the princess will accompany the hero.

「I see, both the future husband and wife will accompany the hero, huh」

Gallios said with a wide grin on his face.

「Please don’t tease me with that, senpai」

It’s a fact that princess Almina is my childhood friend and also my fiancee.

「It’s a good thing for you and princess Almina. I’ll lend a hand if weren’t for accompanying the hero」

Gallios is laughing with “GAHAHA”. Then, he glanced at Kuro.

「What about you, Kuro？」

To be honest, Kuro seemed unwilling to do this job.

But, Kuro, who can use magic, will become a great help in this case.

「Please help me with this job, Kuro-dono！！」

I bow toward Kuro.

「Well, I think it’s okay as long as it is not directly accompanying the hero…」

Kuro unwillingly accepted my request.

Thus, I gained their cooperation.

And the matter regarding the hero’s also settled for now.

Somehow, I have a bad premonition about this sudden visit of the hero.

◆Dark Knight Kuroki

I think that it’s quite strange.

I never thought that I, who summoned to beat the hero, will one day become his escort.

I accepted Rember’s request because it seems that it’s an important matter for him and because I consider him as one of my friends outside Nargol.
