Haaah…… Finally class ended. Even so, today's weather is too good…… honestly it's tough for a shut-in like me……
On a day like this, I just want to go straight back into my own room and confine myself to completing daily quests.

…………

 Idia
Idia 
|
……Hm? Is someone there?
|
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
S-S-S-S-S-Silver!? Why is he lying on the courtyard ground!?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Zzz……Zzzz……
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Ah…… Is he possibly just sleeping……? That surprised me, I didn't know what to do……
……However, he really does have nice facial features. I'm sure he'll become popular~
His sleeping face is really sparkling like a prince's. Even small animals are gathering around him……
He's like a completely different person to when I met him here the day before the Magift tournament.
I was scared of getting hit by his baton……
If that didn't happen, he's not someone I would usually be able to meet in a lifetime.

Silver

Mnn…… mmghh……
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Eek! H-H-H-He's waking up!?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
*Yawwwn*…… I thought it felt like someone was here, so it was you Idia-senpai……
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Y-Y-Y-Y-You're wrong!! I wasn't peeping at your sleeping face or anything!!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
? Could you please calm down and talk? Every time we meet you get surprised and jump up.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
T-This time I reacted like that because I'm an introverted nerd……
I-I-I-I-If you were to raise a baton again at a time like this, anyone would be surprised.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Now that you say it, that's true…… Sorry for that night before the Magift tournament.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Urh…… I feel bad that you apologised so straightforwardly……
S-Silver you're a bit of a strange person…… At least when compared to my students in being straightforward and loyal……
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
……Is that so?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Y-Yeah. Ignihyde's students would never do something like patrolling at night to ensure the safety of their dorm leader……
……Ah! M-M-Maybe Malleus has created fear amongst the Diasomnia students with his political power or something?
I-If that's the case, it's not that good anymore…… Were you forced to patrol that night too?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
There is no fear of Malleus' political power in Diasomnia. What we did the other night was voluntarily done.
You and Ignihyde may not know but I do it because I've sworn loyalty to him.
The reason I'm living now is all thanks to the old man and Malleus-sama.
I want to repay their kindness.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Ooh…… Your expression is so cool but your tone of voice feels close to passionate Otaku talk……
I can kind of relate to it……
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Besides, I don't want to cause trouble for Malleus-sama and would like to avoid a dispute between the human land and Briar Valley.
I'm not that strong but I want to do what I can.
I was raised being told by the old man it's not something that involves fighting……
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
I see… Those are some significant words.
This "old man" you mention, sounds like someone powerful and with a strong spirit.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Mhm. The old man is one of the closest guards who serve the lord of Briar Valley.
I heard that the queen's trust was earned due to their ability to fight.
The old man is retired from the front lines now, but he was a soldier that repeatedly threw himself into the fires of war and has earned medals for it.
I'm sure he's had a more intense experience than I could ever imagine……
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
W-What's with that? It's like an open world RPG story……
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Open world?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
I-It's an internet game thing. Normies wouldn't know of it.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Nah, if it's an internet game I should know. The old man often stays up late playing games like that.
The old man has always liked popular things. He also seems to have started MagiCam recently too.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
E-Eeeh!? My image of a perfect genuine knight is fading……!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Oii Silver. What are you doing wasting time in such a place?
We made plans to go do a high difficulty quest right?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Old--…… Lilia-senpai. Sorry. I'll go soon.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Hm……? I was wondering who it was, so it's you Idia. This is an unusual pair.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Ah-Ahh…… L-L-L-Lilia. This is, um……
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I was napping here and we met by chance.
Idia-senpai, see you later then.
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Y-Yeah, later……
Silver's story about his old man was interesting.
Even though he was raised as a soldier in Briar Valley and earned medals, he's a heavy internet gamer and also uses MagiCam lololol
If there really is such a person, I, who hates people, would like to see them with my own eyes……

In order to use the new items we'll have to do some material hunting. Next week is also the start of the seasonal event so it's going to become busy.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
You seem like you're having fun when talking about games.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Back in my days, we didn't have internet games.
People living all across the world, crossing borders and joining in indulging entertainment. It's become such a peaceful world.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I guess it has. A peaceful world where you can enjoy games……
After all, I really do have to protect such a thing.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
……You've come to say such brazen things.
Now then, let's take hold of those feelings and get down to gaming as much as we want. I won't be letting you sleep tonight~!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
P-Please refrain from doing that old man……
|
Translator's Note: Silver calls Lilia 親父殿 (often translated to old man) which is a fatherly figure term
