2 2. Escort mission




 It was a few years ago that I, Alta Schweizer, regained the memories of my previous life.
 I was given only the name "Alta" in an orphanage, without a family name, and when I turned five, I was exposed to magic for the first time.
 It was then that I remembered that I was once the "Sword Saint" Raoul Isaruf.
 I don't know if this is a memory of a previous life, or a so-called "reincarnation" -- I don't know.
 There was no way to prove that I was Raoul, and I had no intention of spreading it.
 The knowledge of swords and magic--that was enough for me.
 My talent was recognized, and I was adopted by the local noble family of Schweizer, and I am now working as a knight of the kingdom.
 I became the youngest knight since the beginning of the kingdom.
 Of course, I don't make this known to the people.
 There are various ranks of knights, but I was given the rank of "first class officer," which gives me relative freedom and discretion.
 If you ask me what I want to do when I am reborn, I don't want to do anything.
 I just want to do what I couldn't do before, and I don't want to struggle.
 In my previous life, I only became stronger to fight.
 In that sense, maybe I can get along as Alta Schweizer with Raoul's memories.
 All I want to do is to work early, earn money, drop out early, and live a comfortable life.

   What I want is to work early, earn money, drop out early, and live a comfortable life.

I've got more than half of them down, and the mother body is dead-- zero dead here, huh? There are a few injured people, but almost no ...... damage. Impressive work. First Officer Alta Schweizer.
Yes, thank you, sir. Knight Commander Remyll Eyn.

 I bowed my head.
 The woman leaning her elbows on the desk and checking a report is Remyll Eine.
 She is the leader of the Kuro Wolf Knights to which I belong.
 Her long red hair is tied back in a bun, and she's wearing her knight's uniform, which is slightly worn down.
 I can't help but wonder if the bare chest area is appropriate for a knight, but each order has its own style.
 I guess that's allowed here.

"So, I'll get paid according to the number of kills I make, right?
"You don't talk about money the second time. You're too young to be so concerned. Is the Schweizer family in such dire straits?
As for the Schweizer family, at least they don't need my money to survive. My father-in-law, the current head of the family, is an excellent man. It's just that I'm a bit greedy with money.

 I replied without any particular concern.
 It's natural to be happy when you get money, and the fact that you can save it is comforting.
 The amount of money you need to save depends on whether you are buying a house in the country or in the city.

(I'll have to decide that at some point. (I'll have to decide about that at some point, though.)
By the way, are you a city person or a country person? Are you a city person or a country person?
"Are you sure you want to talk about pickup? Are you sure?
No, sir. I'm talking about where I'm going to live.
Come on, if you're gonna propose, be a little more romantic. And don't forget the age difference.
I shouldn't have asked the Commander.

 When I said that, Remyil said, "I'm just kidding," and chuckled.
 This was the true nature of her as a Knight Commander.
 It's easier to talk to her this way.
 Although it can be troublesome at times.

Well, it's your choice whether you want to live in the country or the city in the future, but while you're young, let's talk about the present.

 I have a bad feeling about Remyil's words.
 What Remyil took out of the drawer was a sheet of paper.
 There was a picture of a girl with some information on it.

"Hey, this one looks familiar.
"That's right. She is the daughter of the Rheinfell family, one of the four great noble families, and is known as the "strongest" person in the capital, aside from the knights - Miss Iris Rheinfell.

 I picked up the paper that was handed to me.
I take the paper that was handed to me. The "Sword Saint Princess" - that's what they call her.
 She has shown extraordinary talent as a magical swordsman who combines sword and magic, and is said to be on par with the Sword Sage, despite being a woman.
 I've never met her, but I've at least seen her.
 I also remember her dignified behavior.

"The Four Noble Houses ......, what's wrong with your daughter?
I want you to be her bodyguard.
"Yes?

 I ask back.
 It seems my bad premonition came true.

Escort duty, escort duty. Haven't you ever done that before?
No, I have, but ...... escorting the "Sword Saint Princess" is ......

 You should not say whether it is necessary in the first place.
 Remyll sighs a little.

I know what you mean. She says she doesn't need an escort either. But you know, there's been some shady business going on lately.
"Fishy movement: ......?
Yeah. I'm investigating that separately, but Miss Iris is a widely supported aristocrat in this country, a candidate for the next "king". I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.


'So they say, but why me?
"Miss Iris says, 'I have no intention of being protected by someone weaker than me. It's a very brave thing to say, but when it comes to that, we don't have many people we can send out right away. You're the one we can send right away.

 It's not that I was chosen, but that I'm the only one who can go right now.
 It's true that it's not easy to find someone who is stronger than the Princess of the Sword.
 The option of asking if there is anyone else has already been eliminated.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at our own web site.
I've already talked to her about it. I've already talked to them about it.

 I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
 Once again, a bad feeling went through my head.
