--Two men were walking through the city at night. Each wore the armor of a knightly order. The men were knights and were patrolling the town at night.
　Basically, they patrolled along a set route and checked for anything out of the ordinary.
　The town was quiet and unchanging as many people had already gone to bed.

I'm not busy.

　A young knight, still in his youth, made a light-hearted remark. The man walking next to him reacted to this.

You're not bored. I'm working.

　The man's name is Zaida Eiffel.
He belongs to the Kuro Wolf Knights, and his rank is "First Officer" - a veteran who has been working as a knight for more than fifteen years. In the event that you're a first class officer, you'll often be tasked with defeating dangerous demons or taking part in missions that are important to the country, and all of them are recognized for their abilities.
　Zaeeda was now mainly in a position to mentor her younger colleagues.
　Therefore, she took the initiative to participate in patrol duties.

I know, I know. I was just complaining.

　The young knight replied with a bit of disapproval after hearing Zaida's words. It's not that he's not serious, but he's still not fully aware of what it means to be a knight.
　It's his role to guide those people.

"If you have time to complain, do your job.
I know what I'm talking about. ...... Even so, we're bored these days, aren't we?
It's good that we're free. It's a good thing we have free time, although I'm not sure we really do.
"Are you talking about Commander Eain?

　The young knight asks, and Zaida nods and answers.

Yes. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　The leader of the Kuro Wolf Knights, Remyll Ein. Although he is still in his twenties, he is the leader of one of the five knight orders that protect this country.
　She used to be active in the field, but now she is mainly working at her desk.
　However, the fact that she is able to handle these tasks is proof of her excellence. When she had just joined the knights, Zaida had worked with her before.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the list of people who are interested in becoming a knight in shining armor.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

It's not easy, is it? Isn't there a candidate for acting commander over there?
"It's not that there aren't any. It's just that it's not so easy to decide. A Knight Commander is ...... not just a representative of the knights.
Is that so?
Yeah, keep that in mind. A lot of knights are not interested in power,......, but it is a part of being a knight-errant. Many knights admire the knight-errant who leads the order. You can find many reasons for this, such as "it's cool" or "I want to get ahead". But to actually become a knight commander is not just to lead the knights of this country. Your abilities must be recognized, and you must fight all kinds of "enemies". In a sense, it is a lonely existence. It is not always the case that the person who is recommended is the one who wants the position. Whether it's a battle of ceding or a battle of taking - what inevitably follows is a trivial 'power struggle'. The 《Holy Armor Knights》 can be said to be in that situation right now.

　Of course, not all of Zaida's opinions are true.
　It's just that there are knights who think that way, and there are also knights like Remyll who don't care about power and try to fulfill their duties as "knights.
　But it's difficult to determine who those people are at the moment.
　If Haylon Stiletto, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Armor, had had some idea of his successor, there might have been no problem, but he seemed to be in the process of searching for a replacement.
　As a result - Remyll was to be the acting leader.
　I don't know if Haylon will wake up or not ......, but either way, the problems of the Order of the Holy Armor will continue for a while.

......It's kind of a tough question. I've heard that the Knights of the Holy Armor have an elite group of knights. I'm sure it's not an easy task to bring them all together.
I guess so. I'm not sure what to do. Those who can take on such a heavy responsibility need to be prepared.
That's how it is, isn't it? As for me, I'm fine with doing night patrols like this.
Because it's easier?
It's not that, but it's ...... worth it.
"Deserved? I guess you could say I know what I'm doing. But why do you want to be a knight?
It's a little embarrassing to be asked that again.　It's a little embarrassing to be asked that again. ......
"If you don't want to answer, that's fine. If you don't want to answer, that's fine, but don't forget to answer the question, 'Why did you become a knight?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　Maybe he didn't expect to be talked about like this during his night patrol.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.

I'll take your answer and do my job right now!
"......?　Miss Zaida?



　Zaida signaled to the young knight with her hand to stop him.
It suddenly appeared in front of them.
　The sound of metal clanging and clanging echoed around them.
　They knew immediately that it was the sound of armor scraping.
　In the midst of the dark night, the "jet-black" was so dark that you had to strain your eyes to see it. What appeared before them was a knight.
　But it was different from Zayda and the young knight. He was clad in armor that did not belong to any order of knights in this country.

Stop, who are you?
"......

　The jet-black knight does not seem to obey Zayda's words.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　The young knight retreated involuntarily from the strange atmosphere.
　--Zaida immediately instructed the young knight.

You go back to your station. There's a suspicious person south of Avant Street. Call for backup.
What do you mean, "backup"? ...... Where's Zayda?
We'll return fire.

　With those words, the two of them began to move at the same time.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

Go!　You're supposed to be the messenger!
"Yes, sir!

　The young knight followed Zayda's words and ran off.
　The jet-black knight did not pay attention to the young knight.
　Apparently, he is going to accompany Zaida. It's a good thing then, Zayda smiled.

I'm surprised to see you slaying him. I'm surprised you chose a knight of all people to fight. Is that jet-black armor supposed to be ...... death gear?
"......
(This guy ......)

　There was no response to Zaida's words.
　It's not so much that he's ignoring her,......, but that he doesn't seem to have heard her words.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　Zayda put all her strength into her sword and flicked the jet-black knight's sword.
　The jet-black knight responded immediately.
　Their swords crossed again.
　Because the lights had already been thrown to the ground, they could not see each other completely.
　But even in this situation, the two of them did not hesitate to fire and receive the sword blows.
　The sparks created by the clash of swords occasionally illuminated each other's figures.
　The duel in the dark of night that had suddenly begun had been settled by the time the young knight returned with backup. He left behind only a large amount of blood.
