　Morning in a village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At a well by the training center, village youths sweat after practicing with swords and shields.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It feels so nice and cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, Mr. Elio!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ouch. ....... It feels good to be able to sweat. I'd like you to go a little easier on me if you can.

　Rising early in the morning as the sun begins to rise, the villagers tend to their fields.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they finished tending the fields, the village youths gathered together and under the guidance of Erio, a former adventurer, they were taught basic sword and shield handling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The village youths are not training to become adventurers, soldiers, or knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The aim is to learn as much skill as possible from Elio so that they do not get injured or die in battle with monsters (mainly goblins).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Erio has the best combat skills in the village, having left the village to work as an adventurer in the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why he was chosen to play the role of teacher.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Erio has not trained in any kind of swordsmanship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He only received basic instruction from Gold, whom he met in a dungeon in a dwarven town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even so, he is skilled enough to hold his own against several young men from the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a land overrun by monsters, men with fighting skills tended to be looked down upon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, they also attracted attention from the opposite s*x.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the young men with whom Erio was training talked to him while wiping his sweat with a towel soaked in water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "By the way, Mya-chan has gone to the Duke's Magic Academy, and in her place, the granddaughter of the medicine man's grandmother has come back. Is that girl and Erio dating?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, we are not dating. I mean, why are we even talking about it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No?　Lately, I've been going in and out of Grandma Yakushi's house a lot, so it's been a common rumor that she's going to be a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that rumor myself. But the eldest daughter of the three neighbors of Mr. Elio's family is not ready to give up and will soon enter the battle for Mr. Elio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that the granddaughter of the village chief is going to join the fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seriously?　Elio, you are irresistible!　That's our captain!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The young people Elio teaches are half-naked, and they are happily making a lot of noise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elio, the young man in question, looked heartbroken, and his shoulders slumped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It's all horseshit gossip. Mya was indebted to Yakushi-sama, so she just lends him a hand when he needs a man's help, but the other girls never appealed to him. They say it's just gossip."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But Captain Erio is really strong. They might be serious, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were dealing with young people from a small village who had no real experience fighting monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though he is a former adventurer, Erio is a professional who at one time dived into dungeons and fought monsters to earn his daily bread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His skills are better than before, as he has continued to work hard and foolishly follow the techniques that Gold taught him,.......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He denies it with a more serious expression than his love story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I'm not strong at all,' he says. I can't even compare myself to Gold, my master in swordsmanship, and I'm no match for Dirk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is Erio's real intention without lying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He thinks he has trained and is stronger than before, but it is easy to imagine that he would not even be able to touch Gold or Dirk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, Gold is level 5000 and Dark is level 9999. Little does Elio know that it is a ridiculous level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has only been in contact with them for a short time, but he knows firsthand how strong they are, so much so that he subconsciously thinks, "I can't possibly beat them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if Erio, who is so strong that he can overpower the young people in the village, were to say that he has no leverage over them, they might think, 'How weak are we that we can't even beat him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Erio tells them to follow him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you all work hard, you can be as strong as me in no time. Then you will be noticed by the girls in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

!　I see...that's what I'm talking about, Mr. Elio!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll follow the captain for the rest of my life!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I work hard and become as strong as Captain Erio, I can have a chance with Miya ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you want Mya for your wife, you'll have to beat me in a grueling battle, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Erio lowers his voice to the young man who is in love with his own sister Mya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He at least says something that might boost his morale to get him to be enthusiastic about training, but not if he wishes to get close to his own sister Mya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he doesn't put any effort into his voice, so everyone knows he is joking. The young people laughed at Erio's brotherly foolishness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Erio!　There you are!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I turn to look at the voice, I see Jorg, who comes to the village to peddle his wares.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jörg is a small, fat, middle-aged man with the appearance of a merchant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Jorg, is today the day you come to the village to peddle?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elio points out, tilting his head at a familiar peddler walking up to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jorm denied it with a wry smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, it's not quite the right time of year originally, but ....... I have a little favor to ask of Erio: ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A favor?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you know that the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom" will be held?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I had heard about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a ceremony that Queen Lilith holds throughout the country in order to publicize that she is the queen of the racial kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, she spread the story to the villages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jorm continued.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the 'Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom' is held, a big festival will be held in the capital of the racial kingdom, so I'm going to head to the capital to ask for luggage carriers and to make a profit for myself. ...... It was a good thing that I was close to the capital and the roads were very safe, but it would have been tough to get to the capital from here by myself. If you want, I could use you as my escort again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Escort, Racial Kingdom Festivities or ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From Elio's point of view, the name "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom" didn't matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, it was just a bunch of bigwigs working for their own purposes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am interested in the festivities that go along with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Above all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Mr. Jorm's job pays well, and I can send a little money to Mya, who is working hard in the principality.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From time to time, letters arrive from Mya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She earns her living expenses by working on manuscripts and other odd jobs offered by her teacher (Domus), who takes good care of her, and also by practicing offensive magic around the principality after returning as an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has a full life, but is being pushed around by her roommate Cuone, who is trying to make Miya into a "saint." She sent us a letter complaining about the difficulties she is having and expressing relief that she has an easy-going friend by her side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Erio wants to make his sister's life as easy as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the answer was obvious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Jorme, by all means, please.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, Erio's participation in the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom" was decided.
