Chapter 127: No One from the Security Team Called
I waited and waited, but no one from the security team called for me. It had only been three days, but I felt that calling myself would be weird. If they asked "Why do you want to join again?" I couldn’t say "I want a new skill."Unable to hold back any longer, I asked Lily when she came to change the flowers in the vase. She was still a maid, though I didn’t see Stevie. Lily said,
"I heard the security team was disbanded. Captain Copeland was replaced. They said there were too many casualties last time and they needed to absorb the survivors into another unit. If you want to join again, I’ll ask the new captain. Captain Copeland was just a friend, so it was easy for him to help. Should I ask someone else?"
"Then please do. I want to sharpen my skills more."
I gave a perfectly normal answer, but Lily said,
"Speaking of which, the way you fought last time was strange, wasn’t it?"
There were plenty of things I could remember, but I decided to play dumb.
"Really? What was strange?"
"Huh? You don’t notice? It was really strange! Stevie and I were talking about it. Your swordsmanship was completely different from before, and your footwork was so fast that we couldn’t keep up. Last time we thought we were still above you, but this time you were about the same or a little better. I thought that was already abnormal for someone your age."
"Really?"
Being praised so directly made me happy. She wasn’t being sarcastic at all!
"But, Lord Robby, you should experience real combat as much as possible while you still can."
"Why?"
"Because if you’re allowed to go outside, it would be good even if your strength is already great."
"Is that so? Yeah, that’s right."
"Yes. But in the noble district, it might not be challenging enough anymore. Going to the commoner district would be taking the wrong route, though."
"Huh~ So the thieves in the commoner district are stronger than in the noble district?"
"Yes, they say so. There are also thieves who use magic. They say there are thieves who burn down houses, kill everyone inside, and do whatever they want."
"That sounds scary~"
"But if you go outside the capital, there are even more dangerous thieves and magical beasts. No matter how strong you are, it’s good to experience it."
