Episode 105: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 42

We arrived at the knights’ training grounds.  

Just approaching the area, I could hear the sounds of clashing swords, and my heart was racing with excitement.  

What surprised me was how the atmosphere completely changed the moment Yuria showed up.  

“Oh! It’s Yuria-sama!”  

“I’m looking forward to today as well!”  

“Knight Commander! Yuria-sama has arrived!”  

A smile spread across the previously tense training ground, and a warm air began to flow.  

“Sorry I’m late, everyone!”  

“Gahaha! I’m counting on you again today, Yuria!”  

“Yes! Thank you, Knight Commander!”  

Yuria, when did you become so friendly with everyone in the knights? As a man, I can’t help but feel envious!  

“Hmm? You’re… were you at today’s meeting?”  

“Y-Yes. I’m Mihiro Maki. I’m also from another world like Yuria.”  

“I see! That’s why you were standing next to the Chancellor!”  

“Well, I was just standing there.”  

As I smiled wryly, the knight commander grinned and threw his arm over my shoulder.  

“Gahaha! So that means you’re also a special class, huh! Alright, let’s have a spar!”  

“W-What!? That’s impossible! I’m not suited for combat…”  

“That doesn’t matter! Let’s do it! Come on, let’s do it!”  

“Wait, I really can’t! Help me, Yuria!”  

What’s up with this knight commander? Isn’t he a bit of a meathead?  

…And Yuria, don’t look away!  

“Um, if I may, Commander Vigul! Mihiro-sama is still low level and not accustomed to rough fighting.”  

“…Is that so?”  

“Didn’t I just say that!?”  

“No, you were just being humble.”  

“That’s not it! I seriously can’t fight!”  

This guy doesn’t listen to me, but he listens to Dietrich-sama!  

But I guess I should be grateful for that.  

“If that’s the case! Yuria, let’s fight right away!”  

“Yes!”  

And after spending quite a bit of time together, I felt that Yuria had become influenced by the knight commander as well.  

As the two moved to the center of the training ground, the knights who had been training made way for them.  

I decided to move to the side and watch the training.  

“From what Alicia saw, how much of a difference is there in their abilities?”  

“The difference in strength is clear. However, Yuria-san has started to think while she fights. Still, I believe she has a long way to go.”  

“So that means there’s that much of a gap even between a knight commander and a captain-class knight.”  

“Yes. I think the difference lies in experience.”  

Hmm, when it comes to experience, it feels like there’s not much I can do about it.  

On one hand, there’s a battle-hardened knight commander who trains daily with the knights. And on the other, there’s an otherworlder from a peaceful world who had only fought with magical beasts. There’s no way she has experience in combat against people.  

If this were Arata, who practiced kendo, it might be a different story. But Yuria was in track and field, so she has never fought as a sport either.  

“Alright, here I go!”  

“Come!”  

As Yuria donned her gauntlets and assumed her stance, she vanished from the spot she had been standing just moments ago.  

“Fast!”  

“Still…”  

—Clang!  

The sharp sound of metal clashing echoed as the knight commander swung his great sword.  

Immediately after, a cloud of dust rose, and Yuria was in front of him.  

“…Did the Knight Commander see that?”  

“It seems so. Yuria-san’s agility has been increasing with each passing day, but the Knight Commander easily deflects it.”  

“That’s crazy, the Knight Commander is something else.”  

Yuria continued to dart around the training ground, trying to leap at the knight commander whenever there was an opening. But it felt like every opening was easily controlled by the knight commander.  

I mean, for Yuria to put on such a performance and still have to fight this way with the knight commander means his skills are quite high, right?  

“…Could it be that the Adelreed Kingdom is incredibly strong?”  

“Oh, didn’t you know? The Adelreed Kingdom may be small in territory, but it boasts some of the best fighters on the continent. The Knight Commander is also a special class.”  

“Seriously!? …And Dietrich-sama is a Sage too. It’s incredible, the Adelreed Kingdom.”  

Well, since it’s facing the Forest of Demons, they need to have considerable strength.  

…Huh? But aside from the Guild Master, I only know of Mirelle-san as a powerful person in Granzawall. Is that enough?  

“Were there no powerful individuals stationed in Granzawall?”  

“Well, that’s….There were during my father’s time. But since everyone left, they went on to become adventurers.”  

“…Ah, I see. That makes sense.”  

…Yeah, I’m starting to feel even more sorry for you, Alicia.
