August was so sacred and religious that he was mentioned as the youngest cardinal in the church.
In addition, there were many people who coveted him because he had good physical strength.
So I wondered inside that August joined the Black Knights.
Everyone longs to join the Black Knights, but August doesn't value being the strongest or the richest.
It seems that Meyer was a devout believer and added extra points.
Then a mystery was solved. But there's another mystery.
'It's unexpected that Meyer is faithful. He is also recognized by August…'
Meyer, who will become the Demon King later, is a faithful servant of the goddess.
It was a really bad combination.
"Then the leader often goes to the monastery to pray."
"I understand that he always stops by the monastery before he goes to war. The vice commander of the regiment should come along at any time. "
From the very beginning, I didn't particularly believe in religion. Not to mention the God of the world in the game.
No matter how much the gods of this world give them these powers of magic and ability, it was the same that faith did not arise.
However, if Meyer, the chief executive of the Black Knights, and August, the key personnel, were faithful, the story was different.
I need to bring in faith that I didn't have. I also pretended to be a faithful believer and nodded to the day of faith.
"Okay, let's drop by together later."
***
"I'm sorry, Robur."
I told the whole story about August's misunderstanding that Robur was the main drunkard. You can't misunderstand later.
Fortunately, Robur smiled cheerfully and patted me on the shoulder, as if she didn't mind.
"Well, if you hadn't suggested it first, I would have, so it doesn't matter."
"Still."
"Acting normally matters. You told him the truth, and he didn't believe you. Even if you keep insisting, the priest will think I'm blackmailing you."
Robur giggled. She didn't have any personal connections. I added a lot of sorrys.
"But I'm sorry, so let's have another drink later. It's on me."
"That's good."
It was a pretty good income to get acquainted with Robur.
August and Axion were admired by the expedition members for their genius, but they were hard to get close to.
Robur, on the other hand, was well-received within the Black Knights because she treated ordinary expedition members as well.
I never used to swear as openly as I used to when I was with her.
In addition, rumors began to circulate that it was me who solved the spear unit incident late.
I did not intend to attribute the case of the spear unit to my credit, but there was no reason to explain it to the rumors.
I'm not lying.
Everyone was in the useless parachute with no ability, but the rating was revised to a parachute with the ability.
Of course, the rumors of Meyer's lover still followed like a tag, but at least no one has spoken out in front of me.
I'm happy to have a girlfriend compared to a dog. At least it's human.'
I passed the rumor like that, and in the meantime, my joining day came.
Unlike the expeditionary uniform, Meyer's vice commander suit was of high quality, and the epaulets and sleeves were more colorful.
I felt like I was an officer at first sight.
The boots that came up to the calf were soft and light, and the gloves also fit perfectly on the fingers without showing.
Wearing a uniform that fits my size, I realized that I'm really becoming the vice-captain of the Black Knights now.
The joining ceremony and inauguration ceremony began, and all the Black Knights shouted their orders.
"The sword that separates the darkness, the ax that rings the earth, the bow that opens the sky, the window of light! May the hero's heir, the warrior's shield, and the Black Knights be honored!"
It was a restrained attitude worthy of the dignity and history of the Black Knights.
Maybe it's because Meyer Knox is with us. The air was burning with tension.
"Jun Karentia, forward."
After a simple order, Meyer called me out.
I stepped up to the podium with the eyes of the Knights.
This kind of position is not my cup of course.
But it's something I have to go through once.
I swallowed a sigh and inhaled. Since there is no microphone, I have to gather the power of the ship and raise my voice.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Jun Karentia, vice commander of the Black Knights."
I slowly looked down the platform.
Everyone didn't get out of shape just because I stood on the platform.
I was still in a modest posture, but as much as their eyes looked at me, I was shouting rebelliously as I heard what they were saying.
Rumors about me had already been mixed up and inflated.
My enemy now is the prejudice within them.
I chewed it over again and opened my mouth heavily.
"I'm sure you're all confused that I've suddenly appeared in the position of vice-captain that I've never been in. That's what all the rumors about me are about."
When the rumors were brought up, everyone's faces became new and white.
I thought I would dig up the source of the rumor and give it a disadvantage.
There must be a lot of bad things. I swallowed the ridicule and continued.
"But I dare say that because you don't know much about me. I'm not really obsessed with the past. Whatever you've said about me in the past, I'll take it as something that hasn't happened in the future. "
I could hear a small exhale here and there.
It was a sigh of relief that came out without realizing it.
I stabbed the moment.
"But it's different from now on. I don't care about any rumors, but I can't and shouldn't forgive them for interfering with my purpose."
Flapping, the wind blew hard at the moment and the flag fluctuated.
My gray hair, which was clearly revealed to be a supportive wizard, floated in the wind.
It was embarrassing, but it was not the time to care about it.
With my eyes wide open, I looked straight ahead and shouted without hesitation.
"My purpose is only one. To lead the battle between the Black Knights and the Demon King in the future to victory! To do that, I will choose any means and methods."
Clap, clap, clap.
Meyer, who was listening, suddenly gave a round of applause.
When Meyer stepped out, others also began to look around and clapped.
The thunderous applause filled the platform. It's as if I gave a famous speech.
What kind of famous speech. It's not even funny.
However, if I give my own speech a score…
I could give a good score that this reaction was intended to come out.
It's Meyer's taste to talk about the Demon King.
As much as I know best who to please, this speech was an unstoppable speech.
I raised my hand to control the endless applause.
It wasn't long before the applause slowly stopped.
In the quiet atmosphere again, I opened my mouth.
"As part of that measure, we will establish a special unit. As you may be aware of the rumors, the Special Force is a high-efficiency unit that has priority over all dungeons assigned to the Black Knights."
The establishment of a special unit was rumored in advance, but it was the first information to be released about the priority of the dungeon.
Sure enough, the atmosphere was very noisy.
I continued without caring.
"Only talent and possibilities, and those deemed necessary for the Black Knights, will be chosen for this special unit. You can refuse to deploy the unit, but in that case, you won't be selected for the special unit again, so you'd better think about it."
In the past, they would have protested why the special forces were so good that they even considered it.
Everyone seemed confused now.
As well as the priority of the dungeon, they realized that it was not a good idea to reject it as they could see that the special forces had more support and power than they thought.
"The special forces will be entirely of my choice as vice commander. We will notify individuals who have been designated in the special forces."
They're starting to crave the position of a special unit, but those who don't think they're confident about entering began to murmur, asking how to trust my objectivity and eyes.
Until then, they were busy devaluing special forces and laughing at them for who was going into those places.
As stock prices seem to be rising, they are now considering fairness.
They are clever people who make fun of their tongues more easily than turning their palms upside down to their own advantage.
I calmly ignored those people's complaints.
This is a voice that will be forgotten when the special unit is established anyway.
I'll flip my palm again to look better to them.
So I didn't have to care.
"I, Jun Karentia will do her best to make the Black Knights more prosperous by excluding the things that are harmful to the Black Knights, and taking the most profitable things. May the hero's successor, the warrior's shield, and the Black Knights be honored."
The declaration of war is over.
Then all I had to do was run away. I shined my eyes with determination.
