I'm Not That Kind of Talent Chapter 43

43. Honorary Count Deon Hardt (8)

“Isn’t it a miracle that we, commoners, learned to write in the first place? “You should be proud that you read that far.”

“Haha, the teachers had a hard time.”

“What trouble? It was fun to get excited, so we joked around a few times, but then everyone quit. Because of that, you learned to read from General Nemeseus. “I was scared.”

“So only our knights are going? “Without the Count?”

The conversation, which had been flowing as a stream of consciousness, instantly returned to its original state.

This type of conversation is a characteristic of the Lofty Knights. It was nothing new.

Cleter answered with a sigh.

“okay.”

“why?”

“How do I know that?”

The pathetic look in my eyes immediately fell.

He mumbled something about being hurt and walked away, and then silence came.

Cleter, who had been thinking deeply, suddenly looked around at his colleagues as the silence became longer than expected.

He appears to be sitting calmly, which is rare, as if he is thinking or bruising.

“…I’m drooling.”

“Use it.”

Okay, what do you expect from these guys? You’ll be lucky if you don’t get into an accident.

In the end, it is this side that plays the role of fortune-telling.

“First of all, the reason only our knights are going is because there is a border nearby.”

It is rare to go out to subdue a monster with only one knight corps.

It is natural that the number of knights operating increases as the number of monsters to be subdued increases, and usually there are at least 2 to 3 knights on average, so in that sense, if it were a normal knights corps, this subjugation could have been a little dangerous….

Cleter I chuckled.

──That is just the case of a general knighthood.

‘As long as monsters have feelings, there’s no need to worry.’

Even if you can’t kill them all, you can probably chase them away.

In that case, all that remains is the Count.

Considering the Count’s personality, he would have definitely wanted to go with you. It must have been quite frustrating since it had been a while since he had seen blood and he lived in his office all day.

Such a great escape route has appeared before the eyes of such a person, but why does he not take it?

Just as I was about to seriously think about it, I heard a voice striking a candle.

“Why is that?”

Cleter’s eyebrows furrowed.

I said these things were stupid, stupid, but they seem to have become twice as stupid.

Would it have been that difficult to say that only one knight corps could move because there was a border nearby?

“What do you think it will be like for the opposing kingdom if several knights rush in as if they are subduing ordinary monsters?”

“What are you doing, you idiot? I know that much, right? That’s not what I’m saying. What’s the problem with only our knights going? “The Count even went alone.”

“Oh, that? I heard that he led the army of a nearby lord to subdue him, so strictly speaking, he is not alone. And that’s not what’s important right now. “The Count…”

“Aren’t you going with me? “I think I know why.”

A familiar voice intervened.

When I turn my head to find the source, Milan raises his hand as if he is here.

It looks like it got beaten up a lot, so it looks like a mess. Even if it’s just dirt on your clothes, shake it off. Even though it is white, it stands out easily.

While thinking about this, Cleter paid attention to what he said instead of fussing over other people’s clothes.

“You think you understand? What?”

“When I visited the office before, it was filled to the floor with documents. “It looks like there’s quite a bit of work behind you.”

“In other words, you’re so busy that you don’t even have the energy to go out on a raid?”

“oh my god.”

“Why do I feel sorry for our Count…”

There was a stir among the members.

Come to think of it, I heard you fainted recently with a nosebleed. It seems like it was all due to the overload of processing the backlog of documents.

The moment I thought about it, the same thought appeared in the minds of all members.

“As expected, I should take the Count with him to the subjugation.”

“Do you think we are the only ones who can rescue the Count?”

“The doctor also told me to be careful of fatigue and stress.”

“Stress… after all, defeating monsters is the answer.”

“Wouldn’t the fatigue go away after defeating monsters? Not long ago, when the Count went on a raid alone, he came back with a very shiny face. “Honestly, no one could tell that his face was completely relieved of fatigue, right?”

The Murderous Knights love Deonhardt.

He was respected as a superior, a benefactor who saved his life on the battlefield, and a great commander who not only did not discriminate against commoners based on their status, but also tried to avoid losing them as much as possible. How could you not like it?

Therefore, when I heard that he had collapsed, I was quite surprised, even though he did not show it.

Due to the nature of his weak body, it was greedy to hope that something like this would never happen again, but the knights, who hoped to reduce the number of incidents as much as possible, sought the best method in their own way, and the result was the current situation

“let’s go! “To harass the Count!”

For the Count’s sake, you must take him to defeat monsters!

Men dressed in white knightly uniforms rush towards the office with solemn expressions.

A count’s knight, who was walking shakily carrying stomach medicine, happened to witness this scene and dropped the medicine bottle.

“What are you planning to do again…”

***

After making the decision to send the murderous knights to subjugate them, I was going about my work in a much more relaxed mood.

It feels like I can breathe again knowing that those crazy dogs have finally disappeared before my eyes.

It’s a bit uneasy because the location is near the border, but I’ll figure it out. They’re not idiots who can’t tell the difference.

“Count? Is there a problem?”

“Oh no. “I’m fine.”

I guess I’ve roughly solved the biggest problem. I was discussing the count’s ‘settlement’ with the butler Remember.

Yes, that bastard who quickly let the enemy know that I was back and had them attacked when I went to the imperial palace. There’s no way we could just leave that bastard alone.

However, it is not possible to completely destroy all the users, and we have to filter them out in an efficient way with as little damage as possible….

“Count!”

“We can’t subdue it by ourselves!!”

“Let’s go together!”

Those who wanted it to go away quickly came in.

What are you guys doing? Where should we go together?

The pen in my hand fell out. As if this situation was quite interesting, Remembert’s eyes wrinkled with friendly wrinkles.

With a devastated face, I looked at the guys who proudly occupied one side of the office.

Are you rebelling against me by sending you to a dangerous place?

Are you really asking me to go with you to kill me? Are you planning to wipe it out as soon as you arrive at the subjugation area?

“Exactly… it’s not just between you two. Sir Lien will also go with you, right?”

“Isn’t Lord Lien also a member of our knighthood? ‘Between us’ is correct!”

What the hell. There are always times when people say, “It’s a parachute.”

Of course, it was only meant to be a joke and they did not truly ignore or despise him, but it was these guys who parachuted in and treated Sir Lien like an outsider.

I was unable to continue speaking due to the absurdity, but Remember, who had been observing the situation, slowly walked out.

“It’s presumptuous to meddle, but please think of it as just the nonsense of an old man and listen to it. “Why don’t you go?”

“…Me?”

“Yes, this old man has been bothering the Count a lot for the past week. “This is my apology for that, so please think of it as a short vacation.”

If I apologize, doesn’t that usually mean I have to do something I like…?

It’s so absurd that I don’t even know what kind of expression I’m making anymore.

Remembrance spoke with a serious smile on his face, as if my ambiguous expression was reflected in it.

“My doctor also told me to watch out for fatigue and stress, so shouldn’t I take a break at least once in the middle of the day?”

Yes, you should ‘rest’.

Slaying monsters is not a rest, it is ‘work’ of extreme difficulty!

Isn’t it common sense that both ‘fatigue’ and ‘stress’ accumulate after defeating monsters?

I also fall into that ‘normal’ range, so how on earth are you looking at me to say something like that?…

“When the Count returned from defeating monsters alone not long ago, didn’t he come back with a bright smile on his face? The dark shadows under his eyes had also disappeared. I couldn’t tell you, but this old man was very surprised.”

“Oh, that’s…”

That’s because I rested well in the demon world.

There, I just lounge around all day without doing any paperwork or anything, and of course my dark circles disappear.

Ah, thinking about it makes me want to go to the demon world again. There, I was just mentally tired, but here, my body is tired as well, so it’s driving me crazy.

Well, if I go there, I will miss the human world again.

“It’s overdue anyway. It won’t be noticeable if you push further, so go with peace of mind. “I will organize the documents to the best of my ability.”

“That’s…”

“That’s right, Count! Let’s go together!!”

“So…”

I don’t want to go.

That’s not the reason why my face is so bright.

But if you say that, you’ll have to explain why the dark circles disappeared and you’ll inevitably end up in a corner.

In the end, I had no choice. Remember’s added words were the final blow.

“If the Count moves, the guy hiding in the Count’s mansion will also move along. “This old man will definitely catch it, so you can just enjoy it.”

“Okay…”

What can I say when I say I’m going to catch Sejak? There is no reason to object.

In the end, I said yes in a dying voice,

and now.

“Count! “I see a monster over there!”

“…Okay….”

“Let’s destroy it!”

“Where did you learn to rush in so recklessly without orders from your superiors?! “Can’t we sort it out right away!”

“Cluck, cluck, cluck…. Leader….”

“It’s not the leader, it’s ‘leader.’”

Where am I. who am i

Why am I in this dangerous place with crazy people?

Meanwhile, Lord Lien was controlling these crazy dogs as surely as a ray of light.

Come to think of it, this was the reason Lord Lien came by parachute.

At first, Milan, who was the best fighter out of all of them, was put in the leader’s position, but as soon as the guy who was supposed to lead the team saw the enemy, without saying a word, he ran to the front, shouting loudly.

So next, we put the calmest one, Cleter, in the position of leader.

[Hey guys, can you see the enemy over there?]

[Then let’s go! Turn!]

I realized. That guy wasn’t calm, he just looked calm.

In the end, that guy is just one of those crazy dogs.

They think you are in command if you just shout ‘charge’.

I should never choose a leader among these guys. If you do that, you’ll be ruined. It will definitely fail.

The person who came thus was none other than Lien Reiner.

Even if you don’t have this kind of parachute, you have enough skills to officially join a good knighthood. I just feel sorry for her.

So, like a mother who raised her child incorrectly, I always kept an eye on Lord Lien’s feelings, but these bad guys didn’t even know what I was thinking and just talked back and caused accidents.

It was even like that today.

“I don’t know if it’s recklessness, but the Count taught me how to rush at the enemy…”

“That’s right, he said to rush at all costs.”

“Didn’t you say that you should become a crazy person that even crazy people don’t like?”

Plus, a frame-up!

When did I?! You allowed me to stay at your mansion, so this is how you repay the favor?

I glanced at Lord Lien’s gaze. I’m sure it’s not a misunderstanding.

Anyone can see that his face looks tired, but I’m sure it’s not a misunderstanding.

‘Damn it…’

That can’t be possible. I definitely misunderstood.

What if I decide to quit being a knight commander? At least because of her, those guys can be controlled.

I was anxious that this might actually lead to my resignation, so I quickly tried to explain.
