Chapter 65: The Commander's Son Talks to His Best Friend

"So why am I here?"

When I said that while pouring out my dissatisfaction, Rinse, who was waving to the people in the same carriage and smiling, said.

"Because you're the right guard for me and Cynthia?"

"I'm sorry Knight-sama. But if Rinse needs an escort, Knight-sama is the right person."

The princess says so even though she's sorry. She manages to hold Rinse's hand next to her and smile at her people. This time, I'm going around in a carriage so that the public can see it, but I can only say that it's really strange that I'm the only one guarding the carriage.

"Come to think of it, Cynthia-sama will be getting married at the same time as she graduates."

"Yes. Rinse is very kind."

The princess blushes while saying that. Rinse said with a smile when he guessed that I had stepped on a landmine.

"Arth, when you graduate, you're going to get married to Miss Misty, right?

"Just kidding. One protagonist is enough."

"Fufu, I agree."

The main character in this case is Alice. Well, Rinse must be a princess. I absolutely hate having the same wedding as someone I know. I can't be satisfied unless Alice is the star of the day. A man is a woman's adornment at a wedding.

"S-Speaking of which, Knight-sama――"

It was time to visit something. Sensing something approaching, I pulled out the sword 『Zero』 that my grandfather gave me and put it away. Then it seemed to be magic after all, and after dissipating, it danced in the wind. I recently learned that this ``Zero'' has the ability to completely nullify magic within a 3km radius from me. Looking at the series of movements so far, it seems that I just acted strangely, but Rinse asked me as if he guessed.

"Arth, Is it an attack?"

"Oh. It seems like it was magic."

"Ah, um... Knight-sama?"

Suddenly, when I looked at the princess, she was dumbfounded, so I asked Rinse to explain with her gaze, and Rinse said with a smile.

"It's okay. Arth will protect us."

"What happened?"

"It's a little bit. But it's okay because it's been resolved. Besides, didn't you try to ask Arth something?"

The princess was taken aback by those words and nodded.

"Yes. can I meet Alice-sama?"

"Oh, Cynthia is interest in other people."

"hmmp, I won't talk to you."

Think about that word for a moment. There isn't much merit in letting the princess meet Alice. That being said, it would be rude to refuse, so as long as it doesn't harm Alice, is it okay?

"Okay. Let's consider it."

"Thank you."

"Come to think of it, Arth is holding a great sword."

"What about this?"

I explained while showing the 『Zero』 in my hand.

"It's a family heirloom. This sword can nullify magic."

"M-Magic..."

"That's amazing. But does disabling magic mean you can't use your body strengthening magic?"

"Yes it's true but I can ignore it"

Yes, what my father stumbled on was that he also nullified his own magic because of the powerful nullification. However, this can be solved with something. This sword changes its power depending on the mindset of the user. In other words, if you have an unchanging and immovable heart, you can use your own power without being nullified. Father seems to be unable to do that because he seems to switch his feelings every time he has a mission. I'm always thinking about Alice so there's no problem. After all, Alice is justice.

"Nullify magic... It's a weapon that can really kill people who can use magic."

"Well, I won't use it that much. I don't want to use my power for anything other than protecting Alice."

"It seems like you"

Seeing the exchange between me and Rinse, the princess chuckled and said.

"Somehow, Rinse and the knight are really good friends."

"that's right"

"It's not different from others"

Involuntarily, they answered at the same time. Rinse laughed and said,

"That's terrible. I thought you were pretty good friends with me"

"It's not so bad... I'd rather have a best friend anyway."

"Oops. I'm glad you said that."

"Generally, male friendships are not worth that much. Moderation is fine."

It's not about sticky friendships, it's about understanding each other. Besides, if I want to get along with Alice, I don't have a hobby of getting along with men. A man's friendship should be broad and shallow. Besides, I basically have little interest in anyone other than Alice, so it can't be helped. Because I'm not interested. If it weren't for Alice, there might have been no interference in this world. I'm not that interested. I can concentrate when it comes to Alice. While chatting like that, I complete my security work. I thought about going back to Alice as soon as possible and did my work.
