Chapter 203
After breakfast I was lazing about on the bed set up on the sandy beach when a lightly dressed Dianeia appeared .
「Good morning Daichi-dono . Did you sleep well?」
「Oh, Dianeia? Thanks for asking, I slept fine… . . and what’s the Knight Captain doing here in that boiling hot outfit?」
Dianeia wasn’t the only one who walked over, there was also a middle-aged man in metal armor .
Acknowledging my words he bowed properly with a stern look on his face .
「It has been a while Daichi-sama . 」
「Yeah sure has . Since the festival I think?」
「Yes, thank you for your care at that time . Thanks to that juice we were able strengthen our bodies . 」
「I’m glad . But, what’s up? Why are you here in that outfit?」
He was wearing thick metal armor from head to toe .
It obviously wasn’t suited to the beach as I saw beams of sunlight reflecting off of it .
「Are you Dianeia’s bodyguard or something?」
「Ah, no, I thought I would greet Dianeisama and Daichi-sama properly today . Because of that I ended up coming in this outfit . 」
「Greet?」
「Yes, from today onward we, the Prussian Knights, will be holding our training camp nearby . This kind of place is useful for training as well . 」
The Knight Captain said as he moved his feet on the sandy beach .
Certainly if you were to run on the beach with such poor footing you would use up a lot of endurance .
「Fumu, by nearby do you mean in those cottages over there?」
「No, we have our own special area for training . There is a small island across the lake that we use . 」
Knight Captain pointed as he spoke .
However, I wasn’t able to see anything but the lake’s surface .
I don’t think he was lying, it was probably there .
……… . but seriously…how big was this lake?
It was so big I couldn’t see the opposite bank .
I was quite surprised .
「Most of the knights are there already and we won’t be too noisy . In fact if you need anything please contact us at any time . 」
「Ok, got it . —just…aren’t you hot dressed like that?」
I understood they were trying to train their stamina .
The Knight Captain’s armor was being baked by the sun’s rays as I could see a heat haze around him .
It was hot enough that any sweat that fell on it sizzled and evaporated .
「You won’t be baked alive right?」
「Haha, I’m used to this degree . I have defense magic on the inside as well, it may be fairly hot, but this is another type of training . Plus… . . this kind of heat can’t compare to a good talk with you Daichi-dono!」
「………Ah, ok . 」
The Knight Captain smiled while wiping away his sweat .
Somehow……being compared to baking alive in the hot sun…I’m a little troubled by his reaction .
「Well then I’ll be going . Please enjoy your vacation everyone . 」
「Umu, see you later Knight Captain . 」
「Farewell!」
He said and departed .
Fully armored and moving surprisingly fast across the sand he disappeared from sight .
「Sorry for making you have such a sweltering encounter so early in the morning Daichi-dono . But the Knight Captain said he wanted to give his greetings no matter what . 」
「No, I don’t especially mind . 」
He told me I can call whenever I need them after all .
More than that I was more bothered by the lake .
……The knights should have quite a few people so the island shouldn’t be too small…… . .
There were a lot of places I didn’t know about on this lake .
As I thought about that I got excited .
Learning new things like that is pretty fun .
「Dianeia, could you guide me around the lake and its facilities when you have time?」
「Eh… . . Y-yes of course! I’d love to!」
「Ok thank you . 」
I’ve gotten more interested in the surrounding area and its facilities so let’s look around .
It looks like our second day here would be quite fun as well .
