The experience of uionally catg the attention of the crowd was all too familiar to me.

  Since my hair started to thi, I had grown a head taller than most adult men. And my body had been traio the extreme, so I couldn't hide it no matter how hard I tried.

  On top of that, I had scars all over my body, including my face, from the war.

  "Huh... How such a dangerous person be walking around the streets in broad daylight?"

  "Wow, uncle! I've never seen someohat big before!"

  "Shh, be quiet! Never make eye tact!"

  That's why I alrefer to wear armor.

  If I wear armor, I transform from a dangerous person with a ferocious appearao a dignified warrior who has survived tless battles.

  If I absolutely ot avoid people's gaze, it's much better to instill a sense of awe rather than fear.

  It would be perfect if I didn’t draw attention from the beginning, but that’s almost impossible.

  The reason I kept walking, despite my hobby, a going out at night, vioting the curfew.

  It was because I wao avoid situations like this as much as possible.

  “Chief… I think people are staring at me a little too much.”

  “You’re so beautiful, so don’t worry about it.”

  “Well, I think you’re being a little too dismissive…”

  What if the vice-chief wasn’t there?

  The guard who had been following me for a while, keeping a distance of about 10 meters, would have probably already spoken to me.

  I’m sorry, but I’m asking you to apao the police station for a moment.

  —Whirlwind!

  ‘I ’t hahis alone! Requesting reinforts!’

  The guards’ unique hand signals for calling their rades were sidered fidential information, but she had seen them so many times that she had memorized them.

  “Oh my, honey! I told you it was safe here! But what is this! I have to pay the security fee starting today.”

  “Huh, huh…!”

  I just looked at the item for sale because it looked iing. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman burst into tears and scolded her husband.

  Now, that kind of rea was so familiar that it was b.

  “How dare you!”

  But it seemed like it wasn’t from the vice-captain.

  When had she ever received supleasant looks?

  She had probably received admiring looks from men, or admiring looks from her subordinates due th achievements that did not match her age.

  “Really. This is familiar.”

  "Didn't those idiots dare to treat you like a thug without even knowing the situation? You should never be treated like this!"

  "What I do? You were born this way. It would be easier if you just gave up."

  "But..."

  I barely mao stop the vice-captain who was bzing loyalty for a long time.

  In the end, I wao look around the streets since I was already out, but I thought it would be better to go to aaurant as soon as possible.

  I was about to feel a little upset, thinking that I had e out for nothing.

  —Thump!

  "Vice-captain?"

  "Please stay still for a moment. Wouldn't it be better if we act friendly and their hostile gazes will subside a little?"

  I couldn't help but be speechless for a moment at her as that seemed like something a loving lover would do.

  Vice-captain Agnes, wearing a light blouse, suddenly put her arm around me.

  The heavy weight felt throughout my entire arm, and the extremely soft and pleasant feeling that soon began to around my lower arm and elbow, also sted only a moment.

  "No, it's toug a lot of embarrassing parts."

  "This is all I do to help my lifesaver out of trouble."

  I urgently tried to stop the vice-captain's sudden behavior, but she stubbornly refused to listen to me.

  Where did that loyal vice-captain Agnes, who never refused my o?

  Even if it rivate setting, not a public setting, this is...

  —Whirlwind!

  But iy, the five guards who had gathered as soon as I linked arms with the vice-captain immediately dispersed.

  Also, the guards around me who were wary had decreased signifitly.

  "Well, that's true. They do look good together, but the woman will have a hard time at night."

  “That woman… She looks so proud, but she’s really being so revealing. Men’s tastes are so btant.”

  “The woman barely reach her ? If that’s the case, then the man… Ow, hey…”

  But iurn, I guess.

  The people watg us from afar began to whisper dirty jokes, and they began to be heard by the superhuman’s highly developed hearing.

  Of course, the vice-captain was no exception, and her face turned red as if she was experieng a mana explosion.

  “The way ordinary people think is very… bold. Since I’ve almost always stayed in the single female knights’ residence since I was young, it sounds quite iing to me.”

  “There’s a way to forcefully reverse the enhanced hearing. When adjusting the pressure in my body, the air is blown into my ears, and that space is filled with mana…”

  “I’m sorry. My aplishments are so limited that I wouldn’t know even if you told me.”

  Of course, when the master taught me this, he said it was a basic teique that even a yman could do. He also said the principle was very easy.

  But maybe he was wrong.

  —Kkuk!

  The vice-captain stopped listening to my expnation and suddenly tightened his arms, and even started to lean his head against me.

  The pleasant smell that wafted out was defihe st of the mysterious hair soap that I mentio time as being sweet.

  "Vice-captain? Is it really necessary to do this?"

  "If we're going to start a pn, we should do it as thhly as possible. Isn't that an old adage from the knights?"

  "That's certainly true... What if my subordinates see us? Isn't this a busy street?"

  "Who would dare to talk nonseo the leader of the Bck Lions? You do whatever you want, Captain."

  I vaguely felt this when I had a fight with the princess st time.

  The vice-captain was quite the talker. Even though it was just a joke, she won a verbal fight with the princess, so what more I say?

  I was stronger in force, but I felt like I could never win against her in words.

  "Hehe…"

  In the end, I gave up on persuading her and had no choice but to leave the vice-captain alone, who had secretly started to rub her head and face against my biceps.

  As I watched her tio act more like an ordinary subordinate, I thought that she must have developed feelings of dependeer I saved her life.

  It was a on occurren the battlefield, so there was nothing particurly strange about it.

  "Captain. That pocket watch seems to suit you well. Do you like it?"

  "Well, I don't have a hobby of carrying things around."

  On top of that, the vice-captai dragging me around and seemed to want to give me something as a gift.

  "I see… Then what about that belt?"

  “Hmm… I . Let me take a look.”

  I ended up choosing the belt, which was the cheapest and most on option. It didn’t hurt to have it.

  “As expected, a belt made of lion skin would suit the leader of the Bck Lions the best. Would it be okay if I gave you one?”

  “I’ll take it with gratitude. Thank you for the gift, Vice-Captain.”

  “Oh, no. pared to what I received from you, this is nothing… Oh! When I return, the new uniform you gave me will probably have arrived. I’m really looking forward to it.”

  Also, Agnes herself seemed to be a bit talkative and spoiled in private, unlike her usual and tidy appearance.

  “Vice-Captain. I think it’s time to step away from you a little.”

  “H-are you offended? I’m sorry…”

  “No, no. It’s okay if you stay the same.”

  Of course, even sidering that fact, the vice-captain’s current behavior was clearly beyond the normal line and clearly required a warning.

  ‘Captain, look at this!’

  Her appearance kept resembling that of Lieutenant Laurent in many ways, so I couldn’t bear to push her away.

  —Twist!

  At that moment. The gaze of the pure white eagle owl that was still cirg the sky without disappearing seemed even more fierce for some reason. Hasn’t she left yet?

  It couldn’t be, but it felt as if the princess was watg us.

  For some reason, I suddenly felt like I had to go inside. I was also hungry.

  “Then why don’t we go eat something? I’m starting to get hungry.”

  “Oh! Yes, I uand!”

  While walking around the bustling area of Bartok’s house, I came across a restaurant sign that immediately caught my eye.

  [Unlimited freshly sughtered beef for 5 silver! And personally brewed beer for an additional 5 silver! Enjoy unlimited fun for 10 silver!]

  That’s why the gateway city was great.

  Sinany people e and go, there are bound to be unusual shops aaurants that you wouldn’t see in ordinary territory to attract the attention of passersby.

  “This pce seems good.”

  “…Are you really okay with this? Isn’t this a restaurant that only oners would visit? I think it would be better to look for a more upscale restaurant with a mosphere.”

  However, the vice-captain looked unimpressed. Why would he leave such a perfect restaurant?

  “I ’t burden you too much. You already received a nice gift.”

  “Whew…”

  As he said this while holding the lion ski ed in a fancy box, she sighed softly as if she had no choice but to go into the restaurant.

  Even though it is a private pce, I know that since we are both nobles, we should at least maintain nity.

  However, how we possibly endure unlimited beef and beer? The smell is so horrible.

  When I return to the system, I ’t even dare to visit a restaurant for fear of the gaze of others.

  If not now, when else would I have a special experience?

  “I’m really looking forward to it. I’m already happy.”

  “Sihe captain is happy, I’m happy too.”

  The vice captain also ged his mind as he entered, and a delighted smile appeared on his face.

  While I was looking at the beef being grilled in the middle of the store with great anticipation,

  Several weling faces appeared in front of us.

  “Huh? Captain! Vice captain, please e with us too!”

  “Oh, is that Raul, the captain of the 10?”

  “Yes! That’s right! Guys! Let’s salute each other! Did you all quit the knights because it’s vacation?”

  “No! Loyalty!”

  Then that’s right. How could the eiights resist seeing a store like this?

  They were already keeping an eye on him because his skills were outstanding pared to his position. As expected, Captain Raul seemed to be a man who knew a thing or two.

  "Captain! The overwhelming prowess you showed i battle is still in my dreams!"

  "Our captain who knocks down an ogre with a single blow and turns moo dust just by passing by!"

  In an instant, the pce where only the vice-captain and I were was surrounded by numerous Bck Lion Knights.

  "Ha, haha…"

  "Vice-captain, cheer up…!"

  The quick-witted owner bined several tables at once as the men who looked suspicious at first gnce crowded around, making noise.

  "Captain Rachel. What did I d? I was almost there."

  "You should have never let me e into this store in the first pce! Why oh did you make such a terrible choice…"

  For some reason, the blonde-haired female knight seemed to be patting the vice-captain on the bad scolding him for something.

  It didn’t seem like they were going to rebel, and instead, the atmosphere seemed quite friendly, so I decided to just leave it alone.

  “For the Bck Lion Knights! For the ander!”

  “For!”

  In an instant, a festival-like atmosphere was created, and I was having a good time with my subordinates whom I had met in an ued pce.

  When some of the guys were pletely unscious and were being carried away by their colleagues,

  Two men who had sat at a nearby table more than 30 minutes ago, but instead of eati, were sitting still with a very solemn and serious attitude, spoke to me.

  “You’re here, Lord Wolfgang. I looked for you for a long time because you weren’t in your quarters.”

  “What are you?”

  “I apologize for being very rude during your break, but we came from the ‘top’. The top lord wants a quick delivery.”

  If there was one person who insisted on calling themselves the ‘top’ due to their refined demeanor arained demeanor, there was only one person.

  Ead every one of them was ae agent of the Imperial terintelligence Department, han a knight.

  AKA, 'The Crows.'

  "Would you wait outside for a moment? I'll make sure to leave my pce right away."

  "Yes, then..."

  I had clearly called the Security Bureau at best, but instead, the terintelligence Department came.

  Of course, si involved the children of the Marquis Medici, I thought it would be no small matter.

  It seemed that the higher-ups were taking this matter much more seriously than that.

  I tried to force myself to feel a little drunk after a long time.

  I felt like all the alcohol had disappeared.
