61-60. The Return of the Sword God




 Oh no, oh no, oh no, I have to fake it.

 As expected, it's not normal to beat the king with a sword, I can see that clearly, it's not normal.
 I have to fake it somehow.

 As I was getting lightly impatient, the King made a small jump, drew his sword from the ceiling and returned it to its scabbard with a landing.
 A series of smooth movements, movements that show that you are quite an expert.

 If I knew I could do this much, I could have lost at a level that wasn't unnatural.

 And besides ... it's a mess.
 The customers and the people in the brothel are buzzing about the match between me and King, and the obvious situation of the sword stuck in the ceiling after the match.
 They're whispering something to each other.

 It's getting worse and worse, and we really need to do something about it.

Don't worry about it.
What?

 King looked at me with a radiant look on his face.

'I'll take care of it,'
What's going on?

 When I asked him back, King smiled with a nikah, his white teeth showing.

'You're the one I owe her for letting me get to know her. I won't do you any wrong.

 You mean Daphne.
 The King, who is delirious to Daphne, or the King, who is the King and yet he goes to this place.
 Considering the current situation, the two words "benefactor" are compelling.

 I'm the one who did it anyway.

"...please.

 Since I'm in public, I bowed lightly and decided to let King take care of everything.

     Stars.

 A few days later, early in the morning, I begin my duties in the audience hall.
 Mimis arrived with a big smile on her face, accompanied by the rest of her vassals.

''Congratulations!''
""Congratulations!"

 Mimis spoke up and the other vassals followed suit with a blessing.
 It was too sudden to know what was going on.

'What's the matter, your birthday is still ahead of you.
'Oh no, the master of the house is a bad person, and if so, you could have told me that up front.
What are you talking about?
A moment ago, a royal decree was sent by His Majesty.

 Mimis said, and brought out a tray made of red cloth.
 There are two letters on the tray, sealed with the king's seal.

 ........I have a bad feeling about this.

'What's that?'
"This is an official document appointing your master to instruct His Majesty in the art of swordplay.
'....What?

 What's that!

'Huh? Didn't you know that? According to this, His Majesty saw the head of the family wielding a sword and was so impressed with his skill that he ordered him to be an instructor--
'Oh...'

 In the meantime, you kept that one under wraps, didn't you?

What about the other one?
I'm told that this one was intended only for the master of the house.
Just me?

 He received the letter, cut the seal, took out the contents and read it.

'If you're my teacher, don't worry about your victory over me.

 .........
 ............

 They were misguidedly worried about me!
 Yeah, right! What His Majesty doesn't know is that I've been living under the radar of my abilities.

 He didn't know that, and he thought I was worried about my "disrespect" of easily beating the king, which was a mistake.

 That's why you gave me the title of swordsmanship instructor.
 Huh, well it can't be helped, it's a fact that I've done it, you should be happy that it's only this much (...).

 The order of the cross again has been increased, and since I imagined that I would rise from Viscount to Count, I am relieved that it was only this much.

''Well, well, you've finally made it this far.
Huh? What?

 Mimis was extremely happy.
 If she's not, she's more pleased than when she rises from baron to viscount.
 Why?

"Your swordsmanship instructor. His Majesty's swordsmanship tutor, the greatest honor of my House of Cano since its first master.
...Oh, that's right.

 The Queen of the Zhongxing Founder and our first head of the family had such a relationship.

''This is completely reminiscent of the first generation, and I'm sure everyone will be whispering 'Sword God's Second Coming' in the near future.
No way.

 I was nodding at the fact that the bill for my mistake was going to be unexpectedly large.
