Between the high ceilings, dressed in loaned knightly liturgical clothing, Rio was facing King François-Galarc.

The interior is home to numerous royal aristocrats from faction to faction and force, with a majestic atmosphere.

Inside were not only Sharon and Liliana, but also Liezelotte and her father Cedric, and even Flora and the Duke of Jugneau.

Other aristocrats that Rio met at the night club are scattered.

Everyone here came to hear this sight.

In that context, he tells the whole story of how Rio protected Mizuki and her until she met with Sharon.

"- That's it, I've protected three of your valiant friends, and I've been protecting them until this night club."

Arguing grandiously, Rio drooped his neck (Kobe) toward François.

"It's Hart. The credit for the efforts made to protect and reunite the friends of the departed valiant lords is extremely great. That was a big deal."

François, sitting on the throne on the altar, praises Rio in a magnificent tone.

"Sire, may I?

In anticipation of the interruption in the course of the conversation, a fuzzy one male nobleman asked permission to speak.

He is the Duke of Cleman-Gregory, a great nobleman who can make a name for himself in the Kingdom of Galark.

"Good, forgive"

François permits Clément to speak.

He was just across the street from the Duke of Cretier's house listening to a glimpse, but before he spoke, he shifted his gaze to two of Cedric and Lieselotte.

"We were impressed by the achievements of Lord Hart in protecting your friends of the Valiant, which are indeed wonderful. But there is only one question. Why did he not inform the country and intend to provide information about your friends to Lord Brave himself?

and Clément presented the question.

"Well, don't you mind if I let you hear that sincerity?

Francois calls to Rio.

"Ha, I'm just a lowlife civilian. I didn't think I'd be trusted when I raised this matter with the Dark Clouds."

"Well, it is."

François agreed with Rio's words.

In this world of identity society, identity remains connected to credibility and speech.

Where Rio, who has no status whatsoever, suddenly complained that he was "protecting the friends of the brave," there would be few royal marquis nobles who would fit in properly.

"Above all, they were separated from your family, from your friends, and they had great anxiety about their hearts. Plus, they couldn't even understand the language of the Strahl region."

When Rio spoke in a pale tone, the glance slightly wandered.

"Wait, it's Hart. If the words don't make sense, how did they communicate with your friends?

That was the most questionable.

The fact that human beings other than the brave don't get the word is unnatural information that can be quickly found even if you lay low poorly.

"A strange magic prop exists in the Yagmo region where my parents lived. I used it."

Rio answered the question in a smooth tone, as he had assumed beforehand.

"Wow. What kind of magic equipment is that?

"I don't know any detailed principles or manufacturing methods either. The effect is that we can communicate each other's thoughts in a limited way."

"Oh my... that's convenient stuff"

Leaks his voice like François was unintentionally impressed.

It's like half-heartedness, including the other royal nobles, but no one can disprove Rio's words more than there are no humans who have been to the Yagmo region on this occasion.

"I decided to use it to teach the language of the Strahl region."

"Hmm, that magic item is in kind, isn't it?

"Unfortunately...... It was a product of my parents' shapes, but the magic props themselves seemed to have a lifespan, and by the time they started remembering the words, they were broken..."

With a sorry look on his face, Rio said.

"Mm, well...... Would it have been valuable if it had been a shadow?

"No, originally it looks like the magic prop my parents used when they moved to the Strahl region. If it's broken, it's what you want."

"I see...... Well, let's just say we keep this story that far. It got out of the way. How far were we talking about? Your friends were anxious."

I said, François stared at Rio.

"It's on the left. temporarily. It was self-evident that they were mentally unstable. If I extradite them to a third party in such a state, it might stir up anxiety. That's what I was afraid of."

and explains in a tone that Rio does not feel any good.

"So I foolishly wanted to inform the brave men directly of their information. Fortunately, I have been blessed with the good fortune of approaching Master Lieselotte. Detailed chronological order is as I mentioned earlier. That's it."

So much so that Rio drooped his neck (Kobe) again.

"There seemed to be no contradiction in the rest of the story, but didn't it look up? Oh, Clément? Did you have any doubts about what we're talking about?

François turned his water to the Duke of Cleman-Gregory when he had an inclusive grin.

"No, I don't"

With an ambiguous grin that made the emotions difficult to read, Cleman denied it.

"Then I must officially thank you for your achievements in protecting our valiant friends. It's not something anyone can do, such as protect strangers, let alone those who can't speak."

François nodded aloud and told him.

"It's Hart. Protecting your two friends, Lord Brave, was a big deal. Praise and send."

"I'm terrified of what I can say."

Rio compliments Kyou (uh-oh) as he kneels (kneels) on the carpet.

"It's Lieselotte. I must praise you for what you did. It seems to be as brilliant as ever when you unearth a Hart-like masterpiece (Katsuba). The boulder is Cedric's..., no, the boulder is Lieselotte-Cretia."

With a truly delightful grin, François also praised Leezelotte.

It is clear that it would have been difficult for Rio to make contact with Sharon without her.

Even though coincidences overlapped, the unearthing of Rio's talent had consequences that greatly led to national interests.

And they praised their merits.

"I am in the extreme of pleasure. Sire."

Leezelotte grabbed the hem of the dress and thanked the lady.

Shark Moon, on the other hand, watched as he was impressed by the figure of Rio and Lieselotte, praised by François.

So far, her turn has been enough to make sure there are no discrepancies in Rio's explanation.

(That's a big deal. against the king. Oh, and I can't believe you can stand around brilliantly)

I have already heard from him that Rio is a former Japanese, and I am half sure that Lieselotte would have been a former Japanese.

There will be no such thing as a Japanese who can deal with a king of a country and skip the fine manoeuvres, but can converse without being cowardly with respect.

Sharon had to realise again that we were both completely residents of this world.

(... so is Mr. Liezelotte, Hart, but you don't have to be a little older than me, either, do you?

Well, Shark Moon turns his imagination.

I don't know how old I was in my previous life, but when I add up my current appearance age, I don't care how I look at it, it means the two are older than Sharon.

(Aren't you a little too familiar with me, Hart, for that?

Reminds me of what I said and did when I was dealing with Rio in previous conversations.

I wonder if it's not a tone that speaks to older people, no matter what you think.

Yeah, I'm too familiar.

That's what Sharon thought.

I was alarmed because I looked my age.

From the first encounter, I was surprised by the reading, and the fact that I have exposed (and) a lot of my mood in relation to Miharu and the others has also greatly affected me.

(Ugh..., what shall I do? Should I speak respectfully from now on...?

Shark Moon thought that as he watched Rio politely respond to words from François.

The basic stance of Sharon is to treat them with the respect they deserve if they are older.

If so, why not build a relationship in the future based on the spiritual age of the previous life, Sharon thought so?

(I thought you had a strangely calm atmosphere and you were a child without a lot of things, but that's why you did it. I see......)

The more I think about it, the more I become aware of Rio as an adult heterosexual.

Somehow the Shark Moon is no longer around.

(Already! Why do I have to be so bothered! Even though it was you who kept quiet)

I had feelings close to half resentment and accidentally stared at Rio, who was staring at me all the time.

Even while Sharon was thinking about it,

"Now, apart from protecting your valiant friends, our country owes a great deal to Hart"

The sight progresses safely.

"Hart also contributed greatly to the defeat of the thieves last night, and he cited martial arts. It's more important than ever to reward merit with a grace award."

Apparently, the topic has shifted to the matter of repelling the thieves last night.

"What do you say, Hart? Aren't you willing to serve this country? My country is ready to take that as a knight."

"Huh...?

Sharon leaked her voice small to the unexpected flow of the story.

(Hart, you serve this country?

Chew (shudder) its meaning.

If he were to serve the Kingdom of Galark, it would be easier to see Rio somehow in the future.

Using the authority of the brave isn't hard to keep aside either.

Well, that's what I thought, and Shark Moon watched Rio.

"I know the ultimate in pleasure in giving you an exceptional touch. But for immatures like me, there is a lack of strength in the major role. I'm terribly afraid it's not in line with your intentions, but we can't take it from you."

To keep the corners from standing, Rio gently said no.

"Hmm? You're not going to be a knight? I hear you're quite capable."

Francois asks unexpectedly.

I was also thinking that I might be selling favors to Sharon, and hence to the country, and aiming for a wayward birth, but that unexpected form took.

"Ha, because we're not talented."

Answer with Rio grumpy.

"Hmm, right...... So what do you want? Tell me."

glanced at his jaw (chin) with his hand, Francois asked.

"I don't think I've done enough to give you an award for this. It was only with the help of all the knights who were at the scene that we were able to repel the thief. I would like to decline the prize if possible."

Rio declined the prize lightly, causing a great deal of trouble during the glance.

"Well, do you want a grace award?

There is a light of curiosity in François's eyes.

"Yes, it's on your left."

And, not making me feel hesitant (for example) about anything untrained, Rio answered briefly.

Naturally.

Because there is nothing that Rio would want with the status and wealth given to him by the state.

Above all, I didn't like the thought of protecting Mitsukumi for her money and status.

This award is not strictly distinguished between Miharu and the defeat of the thieves.

François rounds his eyes to Rio's answer, which looks too pale to greed.

"... come on, you say you don't want any money or status. I don't think he's a very civilian. It's called standing and behaving, he's really funny."

François started laughing with great pleasure when he couldn't.

Normally even chivalry knights want a grace award.

I've never even seen a man in his king's life who's never been short, such as a man who refused a prize without any greed.

François could not see the essence of a human being named Rio.

"Okay, I've made up my mind. Then I will give you the title of Knight of Honor."

I laughed a little and regained my composure, François said.

The interior shrugs heavily.

"Ha? But I..."

I don't see the flow of the story, and Rio gets a confusing word.

I don't know what the Knight of Honor looks like, but would he be treated as an aristocrat by the title of Knight?

"What, no obligation arises for our country. It is a contemporary title presented in honor of those who have practiced martial arts in the country, not just their own people. Unlike ordinary knights, salaries do not come out, nor do they become subordinates of the country. It's just an honorary position, if you say so. But domestically, they are treated in the same line as the nobles of our country. You can climb the castle if you follow the necessary procedures."

Read the thoughts of the suspicious Rio and Francois explains them as hard.

From what I have heard of him, it seems possible to give a title to foreigners as well.

"I'm a good person. Giving such a person the title of being able to climb the castle alone…"

"Good. I've already made up my mind. Because it also involves selling vouchers in our country, such as not giving rewards to those who have raised martial arts. I helped save the royal life.

Not only from Michelle and Charlotte and the House of the Duke of Cretier, but also from Princess Liliana, who represents the Kingdom of St. Stella, and Princess Flora, who represents Restoration, have come up with a strong demand to give them enough prizes to do so. Take it honestly. "

It was Rio who tried to resign, but François pushes for the prize without a scratch.

Francois' attitude is tough.

It will not come true that Rio will overturn that decision any more than the King has already decided.

(I'd appreciate it if you could climb the castle considering it would be easier to meet Mr. Sharon...)

Leo peeks at his troubled expression.

Honestly, I didn't feel like it.

But...

"Thank you Happiness..."

With a deep sigh, Rio decided to pay his respects.

Incidentally, the Knight of Honor weighs more than Rio thinks.

An honorary knight is a title given to a human being who, as François said, invoked martial arts, but it is completely different from an ordinary knight knight knight when it comes to a knight's title.

It does not become more military than not tied to the country as a sequence, nor does its action tie it to the country.

However, in the event of an incident, the authority to direct and supervise soldiers on the spot is also recognized, as is the case with regular knights, who can also lead the largest and most platoon-sized personnel.

That means an honorary position of trust granted privilege.

Due to the nature of not imposing obligations but granting privileges, the hurdles of the epistemology are so high that they are not comparable to normal knights.

It is a title that will never be given unless it is recognized immediately by the King as having no problems with martial arts and personality, and the hurdle of examination increases further if the object of the gift becomes a foreigner.

Therefore, fear and envy come to those who bear the title of Knight of Honor, and it is therefore impossible to be surprised by the nobles who are indoors.

Some nobles were reflexively dissatisfied with Rio's reign as the Knight of Honor.

But a lot of the fact that it is irrelevant to protect the friends of the brave, to repel nearly half of the thieves targeting the royals of the great powers that span the three countries, and even to Flora, to say that Rio helped them directly.

Looking at these, it is also difficult to argue from the front.

Above all, they are asking me to give them a prize from the royals of the day they were helped.

In the end, the dissatisfied aristocrats could only observe it.

"It is a lesson to give the knight of honor a common name. Right..."

Hum roared, and François looked to Rio.

I came up with a thought face and eventually laughed niggardly as I came up with something,

"All right, from now on, you can call yourself the Black Knight. Black doesn't stain any colors. You deserved it."

In a magnificent tone, I said so.

Being given a common name by the King is one of the reasons knights of honor envy me.

(Black... knight of?

Being poked at the impression, Rio's face was about to get spooked unexpectedly.

For a few moments, Rio's thinking stops altogether.

Then I regained some calm, and I recited the name again in my head.

Black Knight...

What is it?

The little embarrassing and disgraceful title.

I can't believe I'm a black knight, I don't want to be ashamed of myself and I don't want anyone to call me.

But I don't even give you that kind of emotion every time.

"Ha, I sincerely pray you"

And Rio answered to the fold height (vaginal discharge).

(... is it a bad day)

How did this happen?

It just seems to Rio that somewhere he was possessed by the plague god as well.

Looking subtly indoors with his neck (Kobe) dripping, his gaze overlapped with the shark moon in the corner of the room.

Sharon puts her hands on her mouth (crease) so that she can laugh when she dulls.

(I'm laughing. You're having fun)

Somehow I perceived that Sharon seemed delightful, and Rio drowned deeply.

"And in the future, I will allow you to name your family. There's no deadline, so think about what you like."

"... for your sake"

"The official medal will be given at tonight's night club. I intend to. That's it."

That opens the door.

Rio was deeply weakened by the unexpected backdrop as he blurred to see if he would even be exposed at the evening club after this.
