[Arrival]

We proceeded to head to the rendezvous point, taking some of the men with us for interrogation purposes and leaving the rest behind. Of course, we had restrained them with magic. They would be sent to jail later.

By the time we arrived at the rendezvous point, the sun had begun to set, and the darkness of the night was approaching.

“Looks like their forces are bigger than we initially expected.”

I immediately went to report to the Holy Knight Klaus, who was in charge of the operation.

And what he just said—yeah. I completely agreed.

According to Eureka’s testimony, this incident… was just a riot. And yet, they had managed to gather over 100 people. How?

Some of them looked like well-trained mercenaries, too… the riot might not be as simple as it seemed.

Done reporting, I returned to the tent for the Knights of the Academy.

The moment I entered, the gazes of everyone inside instantly turned to me.

“How was it?”

Jarvis asked first.

“Well, I reported everything that happened and well, it took Sir Klaus by surprise.”

“I mean, who wouldn’t? What with their numbers.” Andrei shrugged his shoulders, but actually, Sir Klaus was even more surprised by the combat prowess of the Knights of the Academy.

“Sir Klaus said we did well… To defeat so many opponents unscathed is no mean feat.”

“For ordinary students maybe, but it’s a piece of cake for us.”

Madeline spoke with a triumphant face.

Well, she was right.

Heck, Raul could have taken them all down by himself.

But the guy himself was currently having a serious look on his face—and just as I was about to ask him what was wrong, he suddenly burst out laughing.

“What’s up, Raul?”

“Huh?! I-I’m sorry! This is no time to be laughing…”

Seemed like he felt bad laughing when Tayte might be in danger—but according to Eureka, she was in a safe place, so even if the situation were to go out of control and the rioters go on a rampage, she should be safe.

A laugh could leave your mind at ease at times.

And a peaceful mind was exactly what we needed when dealing with problems. He shouldn’t be so reserved.

–Just as I was about to say that to Raul, he slowly began,

“…I’m well aware that it’s inappropriate, but the fact that I’m working together with you guys to achieve one goal makes me really… well… happy,” Raul said shyly.

I see now… in the original novel [The Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman], his school life was always dark.

And to make up for it, he built a harem after graduating. Was that it?

…Nah, no way. He wasn’t that kind of guy.

Anyway…

“Raul.”

“I-I apologize, Lord Barrett! We need to save Lady Tayte, yet I–!”

“No, it’s okay. I’m relieved, rather.”

“Huh?”

“You needn’t be so considerate around us. Enjoy your life to the fullest.”

“Lord Barrett…”

I put my hand on Raul’s shoulder and told him so.

Tears filled his eyes, but he quickly wiped them with his hand and replied “Yes!”

The rest watched the scene with warm expressions.

Now that we had a good atmosphere going, I began to brief them about tomorrow’s plans.

Sir Klaus and the knights would be marching to the capital of the Anom region, where the inciters of the riot gathered.

We, on the hand, were to head to the noble’s mansion where Tayte and the other nobles were and rescue them.
