[Did he just became a Royal Knight Candidate!? Not just that, he is to be The Guardian!?]

After I get back to my room at the inn, I pull out several sheets of papers and write everything I can about the competition and the events after .  

I open my mind as wide as I could to remember and write down every detail I know about Princess Karina .

Princess Karina: Daris’s royal princess, probably the only thing I knew about her was her name . [I’m hungry] Seems like she was described as someone who was extremely loved by the people . [I want to eat] She also rarely come to things like dance balls or the likes .

[I don’t know a thing about her]

But I can’t help it… In the anime It was the Queen of Daris who was always being talked about . That princess didn’t leave any mark at all .

[A special unit The Guardian inside the Royal Knights huh]

There is no such a tale in which a commoner can become a royal knight .

It was a place where all the people who holds tremendous influence in the country were placed, it was a place where only elite nobles could enter .

The Royal Knights were the face of Daris as the knight state, it’s impossible for a commoner to hold their act for even one day there .

Even that Rokomoko sensei is someone who surprisingly came from a count household . Though that person himself told me he wasn’t that good with formality and such .

The first impression I have about Silva was about a party loving kind of guy . At that time he was just 15 years old, I was saved by him when I was trying to escape from death . Even up till now there is no one who could match his abilities, and he already had all that when he was one year younger than I am now .  

And THAT Silva is becoming a Royal Knight now?

And becoming the princess’s guardian on top of that?

[Humans are the biggest mystery in the universe…]

Oh yeah, there is also the possibility he changed while I turned into the Dark piggy .

[I wonder who can tell me exactly what happened that time… Ah, I know]

Well, guess I have to go there now .

He is even staying in the same floor as me .

Okay then, let’s go!

While I take the paper on top of the table with me, I go out from my room .

[Sensei, are you there?]

Ten seconds, that’s the time needed to walk from my room to Rokomoko sensei’s room .

Not long after he answers .

[Who is it-?]

[It’s Dening]

[Which Dening?]

[The pig]

[Ah-, come on in-]

What the heck is with that exchange just now? And why did I even follow up through it . Since I already got the weight reducing medicine with me, it won’t be long before I will be called the macho Dening .

When I enter the room, Rokomoko sensei welcomed me while half-naked . He holds some papers on both his hands while lying on top of the bed .

Uoh, such muscles… After I enter the room, he gives me a thumbs up with one of his hands when he sees my face .

[Oh, I already hear it from the owner’s son who has such a great muscle . Congratulations, for winning the eating competition]

[Sensei, I’m not just eating and sleeping elegantly all this year you know]

[You have the ultimate love brain after all-]

While Rokomoko sensei laughs, he looks at the papers I brought .

He always had such a tired look, but now Rokomoko sensei really looks tired to me .

[Sensei, why do you look so tired?]

[The shop you were talking about, has already been destroyed]

[Fast! As expected of Rokomoko sensei]

[Well, the culprit was quite slippery so I had a hard time him . Ahh, why the heck I have to work even though I want to play around in my holiday-]

Ah, he had already taken care of the shop that was selling the monster calling perfume huh .

That shop owner, in the anime, there was a scene in which he was going to be boasting about how he cannot be captured, because he knew the back alley like the back of his hand . …Well, that scene was skipped now because he was caught though .

Whelp, once again as expected of sensei, he moved really fast .

[Good work sensei]

Looking at sensei closely, there is a pile of papers on top of a desk beside him .

[It is such a hassle to write down a report- . Geez, it’s your fault it turned out like this . Then, what do you want from me? If you want that perfume I will say no to it you know?]

…I’m so sorry, I already have it .

Yeah, that perfume need to be disposed of . But even though we disposed of it, the inside was… I won’t say it to him that the one who already bought it was the dark piggy duke san .

[Emm, sensei, I have a question for you]

[Ng, what is it?]

[Did you know about the former commoner Silva, which became the talk in the town now?]

While still lying down with papers in his hand, he starts talking .

He is showing such an interesting face from behind that paper he read .

[…Him huh…]

Oh?

Showing such reaction, is it possible he knows him?

[He became the candidate for the princess’s exclusive knight, The Guardian . A former commoner is now the candidate for it, awesome isn’t it]

He progressively became a special knight royalty . There is no honor higher than to beThe Guardian .

This kind of prestige is an important aspect that is unique to the knightly state of Daris .

[…If this goes on, he will be the first born commoner who will become The Guardian . As my best friend, I’m proud of him]

Ooh, something that cannot be ignored just came out .

[Eeh, are you and Silva friends?]

Wow, somehow it’s exciting .

I’m hearing something that seems important .

[Whelp, there is a lot going on . That’s why I also know what kind of relation he has with the Dening household . So when I got back to the academy and found his former employer from the Dening household enrolled, I think that’s why I watched closely over you during my class]

It is true I could feel his strong gaze directed at me while in class though .

So that’s the reason .

I guess he would know a lot of things about me . Oh my, what will he say to me if we meet now? I kinda want to hear it, but I kinda don’t .

[Then, is it possible that you know about Silva whereabouts?]

After hearing that Rokomoko sensei exhale all his air like [BUHO!], and the papers sensei held until now scatter on the floor .  Silva wasn’t even lamenting about me turning into that dark piggy duke, he just said it was because it was my rebellious phase and left my side .

Even my father wanted him to stay and serve the family but I heard he left even before the negotiations begin .

It seems he is not who he was in the past .

Even I changed from such a lovely boy to be a pig like I am now .

If I make contact with him now, it won’t bring him any good based on how things are now . Well, I shouldn’t meet him then . He has his own life now .

I prepared myself to hear what sensei will tell me .

But against the nervous me, Rokomoko sensei just told me the info nonchalantly .

[Sure, I’ll tell you now . Honestly he told me that if you ask his whereabouts, to tell you directly]

He jumps off from the bed and stands there facing me .

Uuh, this just feels like that time when I was pinned by his magic, it feels quite intimidating .

While I was feeling intimidated, Rokomoko sensei clears his throat . I wonder if his throat is hurting right now .

[Sensei… What are you trying to do?]

[What a hassle . This is his request: if his young master asks things about him, I have a message to pass .  I used the headmaster’s voice before, and now this? Umhh, I was trying hard to remember it all just now, it’s quite a long message you know]

[Something to tell me?]

I saw sensei’s whole body start to leak quite a sound .

[[Aah, young master Slow, howdy . When you ask Rokomoko about me is it because you need my power? Sorry but right now I can’t get satisfied with normal people anymore, Uhmm… how do I say it… Ah, right, for example among mercenaries there was the big hero, Giant Man: lightning user, Electric; and the shape shifter, No Face… Yeah, I was preparing to fight those kind of guys now . WHA!? What the heck is this guy saying, aren’t those guys the strongest mercenaries? …Ah, sorry, oh right next message was… what it is… If I give you an example using monsters it will be a dragon or like ten thousand rampaging monsters . …WHAAAT!? DRAGON!? Isn’t that a disaster class already!? And ten thousand monsters!? Where does his confidence come from!? …Ah, the message? *cough*cough*! …Soo, I beg for your permission to let me prepare to fight those guys, young master Slow… Tch, just die already Silva! It brings me a lot of trouble just to remember this message]]

I think Rokomoko sensei is quite thirsty after telling me those message, he is gulping water like there was no tomorrow .

Yup, his voice was nothing like Silva, but that superficial feeling from the words really reminded me of him . But you really can remember all that Rokomoko sensei… You have such a great memory there . There was also the message from the headmaster, I can’t hold a candle against you .

[But he is as confident as always . Giant Man, Electric, and No Face!? Weren’t they those guys who became mercenaries after they retired from the military? And ten thousand monsters on top of that!? Like hell I believe that! Even if you use all the friggin perfume from that friggin shop, it’s impossible to prepare something like that . Now that I think about it, that shop inventory seems it has already decrease quite a lot…]

Silva, I got your message .

Even though you are using such words, I know you are a knight of justice .

You are as kind as always, you always trying to help anyone who needs help .

And those mercenaries you mentioned . They are your targets to make a peaceful world .

[Thank you very much Rokomoko sensei . I feel like I am always bothering you]

[Umu, It’s okay . I need you in my class after all]

After bowing my head, I get out from Rokomoko sensei’s room and go back to my own .

There are pots and vases lining up along the corridor . Such a high class inn, I can’t even hear the others customer’s voices here .

[Eh?]

The door toward my room slightly opened .

How strange, I shouldn’t left it open like this .

[…And what the heck is this voice]

There is a strange man voice coming from my room, no, it is a crying man voice .

Sometimes I can even hear him say things like buhii… Who is it, it must be a weird person… But, listening it closely I think I know that voice…

[…]

While readying myself, I try to walk toward the weird voice in my room .
