It's Kurt Leprechaun. It was a good cause. On behalf of the people, I thank you.

　That's what the King of this country, ......, said.
　I kneeled down in front of the King, bowed my head and accepted his words.
　There were several people around me watching the meeting between me and the king.

　...... I really don't want to do this, though.
　A thousand years ago, I would have kept my attitude even in front of the king.

　But I guess there's no need to make waves.
　A thousand years have passed, and I've grown up.

"So, ......, Your Majesty. What do you want from me?

　I ask the king.
　The king, with his magnificent mustache, stroked his beard.

"Hmm. I've heard a lot about you from Rosanlea Academy of Magic. This time, it seems that a horde of demons has come to the capital. You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.　I'm sure you'll agree.
I'm sure you'll agree.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　He seems to be hundreds of times more nervous than I am.
　As for me, I just want to go home as soon as possible.


　--After eradicating the army of demons with the help of Lara and Marise, and defeating Maynard of the Four Sages.
　I was summoned here to the royal palace.

　As a matter of course, the royal palace is the castle where the king lives.
　The castle rises high and can be seen from anywhere in the capital.

　It was a bit of a hassle, but ...... couldn't be helped.
　The matter is too big to be left as a single school issue, after all.
　As the king of the country, I guess he can't stop listening to me.


"And not just this time. I've heard a lot of stories. I've heard that the Disalia Academy of Magic cheated in the exchange games, and that they sent assassins to neutral cities when they wanted to talk .......

　Hmmm.
　It seems like a terribly nostalgic memory, even though it's recent.
　This may also be a matter of course, but I guess it all reached the king's ears.

"It is said that Kurt there is a student, but he is also a teacher. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

　This is not a mistake either.
　Since then, I've been teaching not only Lara and Marise, but also other students about no-chant magic.
　As a result, the common sense of inefficient magic has been gradually revised.

"They say that Kurt is the son of God, blessed by the archangels. "They say that Kurt is the son of God, blessed by an archangel, and that he has a thousand lovers in the school. "They say he can transcend time and space. ......

　Hmm?
　There's some wrong information mixed in here.
　The only one that isn't completely wrong is the last one.

"That's right, Your Majesty. There's not a single mistake in Kurt's information.

　Oh, come on.
　That's what the principal said with a look of confidence on his face.
　I couldn't be bothered to correct him every time, so I kept my mouth shut.

"Hmm. I heard that Kurt is the treasure of this country ......, no, he is a brave man. If it weren't for Kurt, this demon attack would have turned into a war.

　Please don't call me a brave man.
　I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.
　I can't ...... help but be bitter because I see the same image of him.

There. I've prepared a small reward for Kurt for this incident. Kurt, will you accept it?
"Well, ...... I'd take it if I could, but ......

　He scratches his cheek.

It doesn't sound like much, since you use the word "modest".
　So I replied without much expectation.

First of all, ...... there is a territory near King's Landing that has no lord. I'll give you the land there. I'll give you the title of 'Duke' as well.
"No, thank you.

　I say immediately.


...... He turned down the King's reward?　What the hell was he thinking?
Are you saying that this reward is not enough?　No, ...... after what he did this time, it's not surprising that he feels it's not enough. ......
The worst that could happen is that King's Landing would have been destroyed.


　The people surrounding us, listening to us, are buzzing.
　It's the other way around. There's not not enough, there's too many.

　What will happen to us if we get a fiefdom just for defeating a bunch of dark demons and the Four Wise Men who reek of bite?
　Wouldn't I end up becoming the king in the end?
　Lara and Maryse defeated the other demons that were left over, right?



"...... Excuse me, but I'm still a student. I'm not good enough to lead my people. Besides, I'm busy studying. Can we talk about this again after you finish school?
"Well, ...... if that's what you want, I'm fine with that, but ...... you seem like a very humble man. I like you more and more.

　Good.
　I'm glad to hear that you're not offending the king.

　By the way, I'm not a respectable person. ...... After graduating from school, ...... is all a pretense.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　It's not in my nature.

"Then I'll give you a national treasure.
National treasure?
Hmm. A spear that has been in this country for 1000 years. But no one knows how to use it. I'm sure you can master it.

　I have a bad feeling about this.

　As the king said this, three knight-like men came from another room carrying a spear.
　It's in a case, and it's quite secure.

Oh. ......

　But when I saw it, I almost said, "I don't want it.


　The reason being that the spear was a failure that I had made a thousand years ago.


　I wasn't very good at blacksmithing magic, but I decided to make one just for fun.

　I've made a total of three thousand swords and spears, but ...... is the first one I've made.
　It is too badly made.
　It has only thirty spells on it. The processing of the magic metal is also insufficient.

　By the way, ...... Borikia is not the name I gave it.
　There is no name for a spear that is such a failure that I don't even remember where I threw it.

How about it?　You know it. You know what I'm talking about. It seems that the spear has tremendous magic power. I've heard that normal people can't even hold the spear in their hands properly.

　I wonder if he misunderstood my disappointment as surprise.
　The king continued smoothly.

"...... Well, yes. This spear is fine.
You don't look too happy, do you?
No, not at all. I'm just surprised.

　I pick up the divine spear.
　I pick up the divine spear. Just by doing that, there was an 'ooh' and a 'aah' around me.

　The workmanship of this spear is terrible, but I have some magic stones embedded in it, so it can be used as a material.
　If I said no more, there would be no end to it and the king's opinion would be bad, so I decided to end it at ...... this point.

　As I was thinking that.


"Your Majesty, the king!　You can really give a spear to a boy like that?


　Suddenly, the man standing next to the king raised his voice.

It's the Knight Commander Ark. What are you talking about now?
But ......!

　The man ...... is still not fully convinced that the Knight Commander arc.
　He had been holding back until now, but when he saw me holding the spear in my hand, his emotions must have finally exploded.

　I knew from the beginning that only this guy Ark had hostility in his eyes when he looked at me.
　Well, he wasn't much of a threat, so I let him go.

Besides, ...... I doubt that boy Kurt's power.
"What are you saying, Ark?
What are you saying, Ark? "One boy killed a pack of Dark Demons?　A demon race that is feared to be the most powerful?　How can such a crazy story be true? Even my knightly order would have to make a huge sacrifice if they were to take on a single demon race.

　This guy seems to be doubting me.
　You can't help but think that the knights who are protecting this country would find someone like me an obstacle to their pride.

Then ...... I have a good idea.

　I wonder if Ark had thought of this beforehand.
　Did Ark think of it beforehand? He did not seem timid even in front of the king and continued to speak.

Can you let me measure this boy's strength once again with the ...... Knights?
"What?　It's too rude to talk about it, Knight Commander.
I'd like to have Kurt teach you magic and how to fight. That's how powerful he is. If you're willing to do that, I'd be happy to admit you to the Order.

　The Order?
　What the hell is he talking about?
　If I join the Order, it'll be difficult for me to go to school.

　Besides, I want to live freely on my own.
　I'm not going to be bound by an order.

"Uh-huh. If it's okay with Kurt, ......
"What do you think, Kurt?　His Majesty the King says so too. What do you think?



　Arc grinned and asked, fishing the corners of his mouth.

　I'm in trouble. .......
　It's not like they're going to let you leave for free.

　But ...... I want to know the strength of the Knights of this era.
　There may be someone in this group who is stronger than me.

There is one condition: ....... I'd like to know if there are people who are stronger than me. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.
"Kukuku, you're full of confidence.

　Arc laughs.

"Very well. I'd love to have you fight with me as a knight order. ...... If you're that particular about the Academy, then so be it. Besides, leading other students at the academy will be more effective for the country in the future.

　The king nodded.

　Apparently, the King is a man who knows what he's talking about.
　You're lucky. If this had been my experience a thousand years ago, there would have been people trying to force me into the royal family.

"Then I humbly accept.

　It'll be good exercise.
