This is how Cua goes with his new partner to kill the unknown monster.
Knight Carney.
For Cua, this is the first time he met a knight, but since the direction ended, they did not talk to each other to this day, so he still did not know the true nature of the person. Still, he hopes they can be more familiar because they will work together in this mission.
According to additional explanations from Lirica, Knight Carney is the most skilled among Slayer monsters registered in the Branch of the Kingdom of the Guild.
As a knight, the person has a tendency to become a mediator, and usually takes the main role in the conquest of the group where some conquerors need to defeat strong monsters.
However, this conquest style is not considered and is not needed by Cua, which often faces monsters alone.
"Is this a kind of initiation for new people?"
Cua analyzes the reason behind this half-hearted mission.
It is a general practice for the guild to assess the strength and personality of unknown newcomers to know their quality better, and try to understand their position with the guild as a whole.
For this reason, the Guild usually assigns their veteran conquerors as a judge and testers in their first formal mission, as Carney will do with Cua today.
"Well, what to do ..."
Currently, Cua is waiting at the gate of the royal capital, and when he is busy thinking of things like that, the mesellia in question, Carney, arrived. As usual, the guy's armor cheered hard, and their appearance was quite arrogant, at least like that Cua's appearance.
"You are there. Come on, go."
"Yes."
Without turning off, both of them left the capital like this, towards where 'unknown' was reported.
As they walked along a narrow road to the village, Cua remembered a summary of the incident reported to them by Lirica.
A "unknown" appears in a small village in northwest the royal capital. The villagers there see what looks like 'monsters', and sends a report about 'sightings' together with the request to conquer the guild.
"Hi. What do you think the information is a little suspicious because it doesn't match any data in the Guild's repository?"
"Suspicious or not, and regardless of what it is, is our duty to investigate it, and if it's really a monster, defeat as soon as possible. Monster is just a threat to us humans. This is also for the safety of the villagers."
Carney speaks in a favorable tone as an answer to Cua's question.
Maybe because of their title as a knight, this can man is very serious, but this makes Cua reflect for a moment.
"By the way, change the topic of the conversation ..."
"HM?"
"Why does a knight like you choose to be a monster killer?"
Cua and Carney have left the royal capital and casually passed the peaceful countryside.
Because traffic is reduced further to the capital or other city, nowadays, there are no pedestrians seen. Therefore, Cua would like to talk and start the chat, or he would get bored half of death while looking at the grassy plain which seemed to last forever.
"The work of a knight is usually to serve the palace and protect the king, queen, and daughter, right? Beat the monsters clearly outside their duties."
Usually, those who choose to be a conqueror of monsters is someone who has no other way to meet needs but still confident with his ability to deal with the dangers to make a living.
This is also the reason why Cua became a conqueror.
"If you are a knight, you might be a nobleman since birth. What drives you to do a dangerous job like that ...?"
"This is because it is the duty of a knight in the real sense."
Carney said with a serious serious expression.
"The task of a knight is to uphold justice, destroy crime, and protect their helpless welfare. However, there are only a few knights working in today's palace who performs the actual task."
"Why?"
"More than twenty years ago Yang Majesty defeated the Demon King and truly destroyed the demon troops. The threat of the Devil race has diminished, and the only threat that occurs is the lower damage from the devil, but that does not mean the country is safe."
"But it is a chaotic period, and now the kingdom has reached peace. Shouldn't you enjoy luxury more than deliberately risking your life like this?
"But I still want to be a useful knight! The knights today have fallen into tranquility and become no more than officials serving the palace. To remember to fight as a knight, and to save innocent people who are actually threatened by Devil, I put myself in the subjugator fellowship for-"
In other words, this person is eccentric. An eccentric who left a stable job at the Knight Castle to take dangerous work as a monster killer, all just to get a sense of pride and satisfaction from their work.
"You idiot."
"What !?"
"But I don't hate a fool like that. In fact, I admire them."
Just like that, the conversation between the two was stopped and they continued to walk together on the rural road. The dry wind blew towards them as if he was caressing the meadow.
"Well, what about you, Mr. Cua? For me, you are a far more mysterious entity than me, along with the monsters we are looking for."
"I?"
"You appear out of nowhere, but you easily defeat 'Amber Eye', which is considered the strongest monsters in the past few years, alone. You said you were a wanderer, but in the world where did you practice to be as strong?"
"Real fight, I think. I just went around, against all kinds of monsters on the road."
"And? How do you get abnormal strength like that? I don't know how you did it, but Miss Lirica really believed in you for some reason, which made it more frightening than this unknown existence!
Hey, don't place me in the same league as an unknown monster ... Cua said to himself.
"But ..."
Carney's straight gaze caught Cua's gaze.
"I know you're not a bad person. My hunch said that. Maybe it was because I often met the noble community, but I had a good character assessment. Let's work together to investigate unknown to now, Mr. CUE."
Cua can know from this conversation alone that Carney has a personality that is too serious.
"With pleasure." He answered easily.
Although Cua initially intended to spend all the time to kill monsters in the royal capital to increase his fame, he was not so greedy to be glory.
Two people are much better than one person in the case of fighting monsters, and just by looking at their appearance, you can find out that Carney is a strong conqueror, so having a strong allies is a good thing than having an unreliable allity.
"So, to commemorate our cooperation relationship ..."
"?"
"Should we hold a ritual to deepen our friendship?"
Carney was surprised and interested in a statement from Cua.
"What is that? A ritual to deepen friendship? If there is something like that, I want to do it!"
"Oh! You are in a good mood! Let's start then!"
Cua suddenly turned the road he passed and stepped towards the meadow which stretched on both sides.
"Eh?"
"Come on, you too, let's urinate together here!"
Piss together.
This is a ritual deepening the friendship that Cua explained, or that's what the mercenaries are met by Cua.
Without a delay, he immediately opened his pants, issued his p3nic, and aimed at high grape nearby.
"Hi !?"
Carney was immediately confused about seeing the item.
"AP, AP, AP, AP, AP, what are you doing, has a vulgar thing in a place like this!"
If you strip your virility in the open air like this, you can definitely be accused of vulgar ... but Cua thinks otherwise.
"Well, maybe a serious knight like you doesn't know this ... But if you want to strengthen the bond between the people you will be your opponent, the fastest way is in a row pee. There is no formality, and this is effective for undermaking the walls among people."
The flow of water has spurted from the end of Cua with enough power to wet the grass in his leg.
"Come on, Sir Carney, let's line up and let go of enthusiasm. I promise you won't laugh if it's too small."
"I, I ..."
One mystery in the human body is when you see someone urinating, you will find the same desire to urinate too.
Carney is an example, and as proof, the knight thigh has moved into when the person refrained.
"I ... I'll do it anywhere else !!"
"Ah ... very cold people."
Carney ran to the grassland from the main line and ran far enough to the field. It's further from the place of Cua urinating.
Meanwhile, Cua oversees Carney's movement, because he could not take his eyes off his distant partner. That's when he saw unnatural movements.
"... Why did the man squat? Take dirt, maybe?
Or maybe ... .. It is a pose that is usually done by someone when urinating ... but that means ... no, don't discuss the problem now.
Even though Cua considers it strange, whether the knight has a strange peculiarity or that person has a strange gender identity disorder, he knows the best that he must just let him just.
It wasn't like he was disturbed by it. Plus, because they are running a mission, strength is the only relevant thing now.
In the end, both of them cleaned their bladder in this way, and without carrying the topic again, they headed to their destination once more.
