The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

36 – Do you know why I am strong? It’s because they just ran away!(6)

dream

It looked like a stage somewhere. She was always sitting in the audience and watching the scene. And after a while, the stage curtain opened and the actors appeared.

The actors were all familiar faces. A lizardman with a great sword and a rat boy fought each other and were destroyed. A dwarf woman and a veteran elf took each other’s throats.

And, the end of the play always ended with a huge dragon appearing and eating the actors. At the same time, Bayard woke up. The terrible nightmare repeated itself.

“……here is.”

Bayard looked around blankly. It wasn’t crude made from cutting trees and vines. A room made of solid stones and a comfortable bed support her.

Was it just a dream?

or not… … is it something else

I don’t know. As of now, she didn’t know. I don’t know if I can say something cool to someone else. For some reason I couldn’t get it out of my mouth.

As if a heavy rock was blocking his mouth. In the frustration, he involuntarily turned his gaze away. From that day, the day I finally returned from that hell, until now.

sick. To have a headache. It felt like a knife was digging through the wood. If I die, will I be freed from this pain? What would I do if I lived without anyone protecting me?

[Okay. You just have to prove it with your own strength.]

[leader… … .]

[If you prove it yourself, everyone will see it again.]

[…] … Thank you, chief. I will do my best.]

There is no longer a leader who tells you that it’s okay. What remains is just trash that has not proven its worth. The guilt of not being able to protect him boiled hot.

[First, the Dwarven Principality will officially sponsor the Royal Knights.]

[As well as the finest equipment prepared by the Dwarven Principality. We will make this fortress even stronger.]

[In return, hand over Bayard’s recruits?]

[That’s right. You only need to hand over one person.]

The beastman’s hearing is much better than that of other races. In particular, Bayard’s hearing was much better than that of the average beastman. So I could hear the conversation from upstairs.

The Dwarf Principality, come to think of it. Before I left for the expedition, I had heard that the Dwarven Principality was unusual. But I don’t think he was plotting something like that.

I couldn’t run away. If he escaped again, it was clear that the Royal Knights would take damage this time. Rather, if it helps everyone in this way… … .

[Of course I refuse.]

[Make a wise choice… … yes?]

“……uh?”

Even she thought it was a great condition. Unless it’s the case where he thinks of his comrades in an extreme way like Captain Yuren. Yes, a proposal that a general manager would have no choice but to accept.

Right now, the Royal Knights weren’t that bad. Although there are several problems. The biggest problem is that most of the forces that supported the Royal Knights turned their backs.

But what if the Dwarven Principality officially sponsors it? If that’s the case, aside from the fact that things are much better. Other forces will also move to check the Dwarven Principality.

Even if it was probably Captain Yuren. In this situation, I would have had no choice but to accept it. The leader is such a position. You have to be willing to cut off even a sore finger.

“Because all these years, people who acted like you were plotting something behind their backs.”

Elf is right. Those who came out more favorably than necessary had some ulterior motive. So, Bayard also doubted the current leader.

“But how can I sell my family for money?”

“family…….”

A shock like being struck by lightning shook her. Could it be because of that? A forgotten memory came to her. Before coming here, the time when they ran amok and attacked.

Despite the ability to overwhelm them enough. He deliberately chose to hug. Even if his fragile body could be torn to pieces. How could that be?

That question has just been answered.

He truly considers them family. everyone gathered here. Can I reach out my hand to that warm warmth? Something like me who was shunned even by my real blood relatives.

[Okay. It’s okay now.]

[Nothing bothers you anymore.]

[I can accept all of those feelings.]

[vomit as much as you want, then cry.]

I already heard the answer directly from the captain himself.

And Bayard vomited it to his heart’s content.

The pain he had been suppressing until now.

Guilt and sorrow over the loss of comrades.

* * *

Unknowingly, I had a terrifying thought.

If nothing else, I swore I would never act like a time stop crossbreed. I thought I could steal something without even knowing it. This should never happen.

If I’m wrong, I might be corrupted like the time-stop breeding man. I just imagined it, but it was so terrifying. I punched myself in the head several times.

It didn’t hurt because I was wearing a helmet. I was barely able to come to my senses thanks to the shock. I don’t know anything else, but I refused to be like the time-stop breeding man.

I groaned and smacked my lips. Even though I didn’t listen properly and refused. When I thought about it, it was because the Dwarven Principality’s proposal was much better than I thought.

“Since you rejected the Dwarven Principality’s offer. It seems that the diplomatic relationship between the Kingdom and the Principality will become quite complicated.”

“It doesn’t matter. We are knights, not politicians.”

“You are an unusual person, Captain.”

“is it?”

“Yes, that Captain Yuren also put his own race first.”

“It’s normal for the arm to bend inward.”

In this worldview that is united in the name of race. Taking care of one’s own people was not something that was incomprehensible. Actually right now though, how are you holding your hand.

Originally, the different races were in a relationship where they kept each other in check and were ready to go to war in the worst case. But that was also a story when I could afford it. Now that I’m so chewed up.

Involving politics here is absolutely insane. In a way, this was an opportunity. Because everything has been destroyed. Thanks to this, an opportunity to lay the groundwork came.

But that was about all I could do. A knighthood that completely excludes politics and makes each other depend on each other. In other words, they become a family-like knights.

“But there’s no place for me here.”

“teacher?”

oh sh*t it’s a surprise

“……Helia? When did you come?”

“I came to see you just now, but those words just…”

“It’s nothing. Let’s train quickly.”

I passed naturally. After sending the Dwarven Principality’s delegation back, I immediately proceeded with the next training. However, I cannot teach the Royal Knights with my current skills.

All of their training was entrusted to Cluna. She also has years of life. More than anything, it was because he was a party member of the first hero. either skill or experience. you can trust

In fact, Cluna was teaching much better than I thought. Clara and Ruby are also gritting their teeth and following the training well. However, the problem was also Helia.

“You’re going to parry all my attacks?!”

“It’s too hard for me to parry that dwarf’s attack.”

“…”

Now, Helena is only 13 years old. Nevertheless, he was doing well in sparring with Ruby. Of course, if you go to the end, Ruby wins in the end.

Being able to compete with an official member of the Royal Knights at the age of only 13 already proves Helia’s talent. The problem is that. Helya laughed and ran to me.

“Teacher! Teacher! I still did my best! Did I do well?”

“Yes, yes. You worked hard. You really worked hard.”

“Then praise me! Pat me on the head!”

yeah this was the problem Because he keeps coming up to me and asking me to compliment him. Naturally, the members misunderstood that Helya was my disciple. I can never stand this.

“I’ll be sure. This is because Helya is outstanding. I haven’t done anything at all.”

“No, it’s all thanks to the teacher’s good teaching.”

“A good teacher and a good disciple. That’s why cotyledons grow well.”

“I also want to learn from the captain someday.”

“No, that’s not it…”

Because it was difficult to cause further illusions. I risked embarrassing myself and said it without anyone asking. And suddenly, he became a humble teacher who raised disciples.

However, I couldn’t finish talking. It was because someone had set foot on the gymnasium in the courtyard of the fortress. I turned my head. There was a familiar face there.

Above the auburn hair were beast ears resembling those of a bear. Its body was clad in the red armor of the Royal Knights, and it was also very gigantic, about 2m tall.

“Captain, can I participate in the training too?”

“of course.”

This was an unexpected harvest. I don’t know why, but it was because she overcame her trauma to some extent and started participating in training. Did Ruby give you any encouragement?

Well, what does the reason matter?

After all, good is good.
