Rumors of a “black knight” have been spreading in the streets.

He wears black armor all over his body and appears out of nowhere to reach out to those in need of help.

When attacked by bandits, kidnapped, involved in a war, etc.

It is unknown where he appears from, and the black armor covering his body does not reveal his true identity.

Therefore, the identity of the “Black Knight” is completely unknown.

What is known is that he wields a huge sword, is a knight, and uses exceptional magic, and is a hero who appears at a moment’s notice when someone is in trouble.

He is tall, but his voice is said to be between 14 and 17 years old, but this information is still uncertain.

Everything is unknown.

Nevertheless, many people were actually saved, and only his existence was spread as a rumor.

Recently, however. The rumors have changed a little…

“An unidentified hero. The identity of the black knight is, by no means, is the disgrace of the Marquis of Astia.”

One maid reads the newspaper while sitting on the sofa.

She has an innocent yet beautiful face, silver hair that reaches down to her waist and is slightly wavy, and her eyes are so clear amethyst that they can be mistaken for jewels.

Her well-defined physique is the envy of others of the same sex, and she definitely has a look that attracts everyone’s attention when she walks around town.

Such a maid girl ── Elesia glanced to the side and gave a small smile.

“It says, master.”

“God damn it!!!!!!!!!!!”

One weekday afternoon.

In a room of the residence of the Marquis of Astia, a noble knight family, such a voice resounded through the air.

“It’s weird……It’s really weird! How did I end up in this future?!”

A boy with short blond hair held his head at his desk.

The Marquis of Astia has produced many talented people, such as knight commanders and heroes of the kingdom.

In a family that is full of talented people, there is one boy who was born without any talent.

If you put a sword in his hand, he is ordinary. Even if you teach him magic, he is still ordinary. Not only that, he never worked hard at training and spent his days in self-indulgence.

For this reason, he is hated by both his family and social circles, and is called “the disgrace of the Marquis of Astia” by those around him.

But the boy is actually…

“Just as you werte taking off your armor because of the heat, you ran into a reporter. …… So, in the end, I guess you should be careful of curious paparazzi.”

“That reporter, one day I’m going to spank him so hard he’ll cry for his mother!”

The boy who is called the disgrace of the Marquise of Astia – – Adele Astia shows resentment in her eyes.

It was hard to believe that these were the eyes of a hero worthy of being called the Black Knight

“But it’s a good thing, isn’t it? Thanks to you, the stigma of being a disgrace to the Marquise of Astia is being erased overnight.”

“I don’t want to improve my image! I’ve always wanted to be a goldfish, to live a life of self-carefree!”

Adele’s motto is “I’m a lazy person who wants to be carefree.”

If his reputation continues to climb, it will definitely attract attention. The shame that had taken so long to settle down has been completely wiped out, and what awaits him is a busy life as a carriage horse.

“I wonder how my family would react if they heard about it. …… I’m sure they will drag me into knighthood and spend every day on training missions…”

“Speaking of which, I heartd that the Master of the House has suddenly returned here from a mission on the frontier.”

“Isn’t it too early to hear!”

It hadn’t been that long since the paparazzi had been there.

Adele was quietly shedding tears.

“But, as someone who was rescued, I can only ask, why are you helping people? you should have expected something like this to happen…”

He did not want to wipe out the stigma. He wants to keep it the way it is.

If that is the case, he should not have done anything to help anyone in the first place.

If he had continued to hide his tremendous talent, he would still be able to live the carefree life he desires.

But Adele…

“I can’t sleep, can I?”

“Yes?”

“No, I mean, …… it would be weird to turn a blind eye to someone in need right there.”

Adele rests his cheekbones on the table and says, as if it were a matter of course

“That if I don’t reach out my hand, there will be someone there to help, and that I will be able to have a comfortable sleep even though I pretended not to see the person? Even as I speak now, that child I abandoned is crying…I thought to myself. If so, then I’ll extend my hand.”

“…………”

“In short, it’s for my own peace of mind! I don’t want any worries in my self-carefree life, that’s all!”

Adele looks at the other newspaper on the desk and frowns.

Seeing such a figure, Elesia couldn’t help but loosen her mouth.

(You’re so …… kind, after all.)

Although he says he is doing it for himself, in the end he is doing it for someone else.

After all, he has saved someone as a “black knight” to the extent that he was featured in the newspaper—there is no way he can solve this problem with self-satisfaction alone.

Certainly, his everyday life is so depraved that he is a disgrace to the Marquis family.

Even so, Elesia is not inclined to despise Adele.

Rather, this throbbing in her heart is quite the opposite.

Elesia stood up and approached with a thinly tinted cheek, and then sat down between Adele’s legs.

“Then why don’t you join the Knights like your family?”

“Hold on, don’t continue talking calmly with that skinship. I’m an adolescent boy.”

“I’m a pampered girl too.”

“Haal,…… if you think I’m all steel and reason, you’re mistaken.”

Sighing, Adele stroked the head of Elesia, who was sitting between him.

Perhaps that made her happy, Elesia happily entrusted herself to Adele.

“Back to the subject, if the master is more talented than anyone else in the marquis family, I think it will be easy for him to join the knighthood. If you’re going to help people, I think it would be easier for you to move that way.”

“I told you earlier. Training, time to sleep, time to play, time to flirt with girls, time to have sex with them–“

Pakya♪

“…Hey, my shoulder just got taken off at an incredible speed?”

“Some kind of cute girl prank?”

“A prank that would violate the definition of a pretty girl …….”

Apparently, the naughty remarks with the other girls were unacceptable to pretty girls.

Adele put back the shoulder that had been removed with tears in her eyes.

“I mean, seriously, what am I going to do ……?”

He came to himself and sighed once again when he saw the front page of the newspaper in his field of vision.

“Even when we went out for shopping, you were all over the Master’s story. In fact, all I get now are offers from nobles who want to meet the master.”

“I’ve said no, but there’s a limit to how far I can go. …… Should I just run far away until things cool down?”

“I’m sure the head won’t allow that.”

“I could just picture my father snapping in my mind as I was saying it myself.”

He has been tolerated in his self-indulgent lifestyle up to now.

If he does anything more than this, it will definitely be with an iron fist.

“But if I stay at home, I’m in danger of being pulled into the path of the cart horse,……, and rather than that, I’ve got a big problem father is coming at me right now. His character will definitely make me join the Order.”

“The other brothers will be coming back soon.”

“That’s kind of troublesome, isn’t it? Everyone usually say things like, ‘There’s no way someone like you is the Black Knight!’ or say things like, ‘Okay, let’s see if the rumors are true.’”

“Well, Master is loved by his family, isn’t he?”

“I didn’t see any love between the two.”

Hmm. Adele was worried as he crossed his arms and looked up at the ceiling.

Elesia pampers Adele while clinging to his body…

“I see!!!!!”

“Kya!”

The sudden volume causes Elesia to unintentionally let out a cute voice.

“P-Please don’t suddenly start yelling. You should announce your participation in the shouting contest quietly. ……”

“Well, wait a minute, Elesia. This declaration of participation is significant. To be more specific, I came up with a wonderful idea!”

Adele waves his arms excitedly.

His appearance was appropriate for his age.

And then…

“I’m going to enroll in the school! Let’s enjoy three years in a boarding school until the black knight fiasco cools down!”
