Pure Love Dark Knight of the Academy

11-2. You are always one step behind.

“..Beef stew? Richt, did you know how to cook?”

“Oh, this is delicious. Mr. Helm!”

After a while, the warrior couple woke up and cooked the monsters they caught and made a meal for them. I guess I have to eat to work.

“One bowl, more.”

“You must have been very gluttonous…. Here you go.”

A meat stew that has been pounded and boiled.

Somebody thought about it after a long time and tried it once, but the taste is quite successful. Maybe it’s because I’ve had a long experience of cooking on my own in real life.

‘The group assignment ends tonight.’

I came up with a plan by serving a new ladleful of stew to the glass knight. Prince boy. Were you such a glutton? Even our saintess tends to eat a lot.

“So, let’s catch a 6-star monster? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“As long as they are not dangerous.”

As soon as I received the new stew, I laughed as I watched Mardol cover his face with a glass and eat it. Even if you eat slowly, no one will steal it. I’m glad you didn’t get caught laughing with the helmet on.

At that time, the blonde-haired warrior expressed a question to me.

“Shadow Wolf is a 5 star…?”

“The number of stars does not determine everything. Mr. Cainell.”

It’s certainly not a weak monster if you don’t know the information.

“..Strategy is meant to be used at times like this. It will be easy.”

“That’s right.”

As in the actual game, there were monsters with hard shells that were difficult for swordsmen to deal with. Some mobs were reluctant to do quests even with 4 stars because the pattern was crazy or dirty.

“So.. What kind of monster is it?”

“There is an armored rain, right? I will catch their queen bee.”

A monster with a large population and a high star rating. I looked at Mardol and Ariel.

“Queen Bee..? Armored Queen Bee?”

“That is correct. Miss Ariel.”

There is also a magician of mad flame, and judging from Mardol’s swordsmanship this morning, it seems possible. I nodded and started talking to others.

Because I didn’t have any weakness.

“The primary goal is to destroy the beehive.”

“..Just that?”

“That’s all. Armored rains are originally bees that must be dealt with with magic, and among them, the queen….”

“Protection. It’s tricky.”

Because he carries a steel honeycomb on his back. It is safe to say that the place where the queen is is the habitat of Armored Bee. Besides, these guys are comfortable knowing how to deal with each other.

“As Mardol said, Armored B has physical resistance, and Queen has magic resistance.”

“Then…if Ariel takes care of her minions, what about you and me?”

“As expected, it is good that the words are well communicated. Mr. Cainell. But it is slightly different.”

“What is the difference?”

I don’t like spoilers in the game, so how hard was it when I challenged only with swordsmanship? Quinn didn’t deviate from the protection procession of her men, and Armored Bee was not easily penetrated by her swordsmanship.

“Mardol and I, Mr. Cainell and Miss Ariel are a pair. It can be dangerous if there is a gap, and you have to earn teamwork points.”

“Are you thinking about magic and physical resistance…. But were you a Mardol wizard?”

In preparation for an unexpected situation, magic and swordsmanship had to be put together as a pair so that they could always cope.

“He seems to be a magic swordsman.”

“Richt said, that’s right.”

“Well, it would be strange if the armor wasn’t a magic swordsman! Mardol!”

It’s not the first time I’ve seen Mardol’s glass magic, but I’ve never seen a couple of warriors. It was worth it. Kynell gave an expression of understanding.

“Anyway, I’ll lure you in with something sweet. Due to the habit of making honey, it might be possible to attract something other than flowers… What?”

I searched around in my arms, but I couldn’t feel it.

‘Where’s the candy I bought?’

Oh, I’m out of candy right now. I forgot to give it to Kainel when I was in the carriage. I was devastated that I had forgotten even such a simple task. I hit the forehead of her helmet with my palm.

“Here. Candy.”

“Mr. Mardol..?”

At that time, a golden candy was handed to me. Thank you, Crown Prince! You’re a good person too This is absolutely a mistake. I always had to carry the share the saintess gave me.

“Thank you. Mr. Mardol.”

I was a bit envious when I saw that he was ahead of me in this aspect as well. A heavily armored knight who makes a gurgling noise while eating the remaining candy, whether he knows this or not.

“..You are welcome.”

The pronunciation is off. Mardol. Perhaps because it was eaten in a glass helmet, the sound was buzzing.

“I melted this once….”

The crushed candy in the ladle took the form of caramel when it hit the fire, turning into a thick, brownish liquid. It feels like it’s completely sweet.

“Miss Ariel. You can use the skill called “Fire Blossom,” Right?”

“Oh, yes! Of course you can! It’s basic magic. Mr. Helm!”

I can’t use that either. Soon after, she made a flower out of flame. Judging by her appearance as Lavender, it is reflected in her image because it represents her hometown.

“It reminds me of Lavrance Village.”

“Sure, Ariel. Did you think of our town?”

“hehehe.. Of course Kai!”

I felt a little relieved watching Yellowy notice that. You’ve grown a lot I nodded slightly. The red ponytailed elf looked at him and smiled.

‘If this is enough, even if I fall for it, wouldn’t we be dating sweetly five years from the point of ?’

Actually, tsundere is the type that needs a lot of time. If you fall in love for being a little nice to me, I tend to think of it as killing the character.

“I will use this shape as a formwork. Mr. Mardol. Please.”

“Yes, I understand. Licht.”

Then, a frame made of glass was made in the shape of the lavender overlaid. I put melted candy right in it and shaped it to look like a flower.

“Thank you. With this, it seems that the preliminary preparations are over.”

“So, what plans?”

It seems that you have succeeded in combining the items. It’s a candy flower made with the combination of earth and fire attributes, so there won’t be anything wrong with other monsters approaching and touching it.

“..I will steal the royal jelly.”

Even with 6 stars, these guys are easy enough to catch repeatedly if you know the strategy. It’s been a while since I felt like playing a game.

“Oh, the bees are here. Mr. Helm!”

Unlike yesterday, our party was waiting for a monster to get caught in a trap from afar. How much time has passed

─Weiying.

“I’m coming right away.”

“Sugar is sweeter than natural plant pollen. Mr. Cainell.”

Heavy-armed bees, like Mardol, were swarming around the sugar flowers. Each one is small, but they are all wearing armor made of steel.

“..Where is the queen?”

“If you chase after those bees, they will probably come out. Mr. Mardol.”

Come to think of it, when will I get the armor? The items I used before were really comfortable. Unlike the glass knight, I was saddened by the fact that I only wore a helmet and claimed to be a black knight.

“..Ah, I’m going to cut it into pieces.”

“I follow them undetected. They are a bit aggressive.”

I slowly tracked worker bees flying in a procession towards one place.

Then what came out was a large bee carrying a steel beehive. Unlike the worker bees, the appearance of the boss monster was large and fierce.

“Armored Queen Bee.”

“..It’s bigger than I thought, isn’t it? The thing on your back… Is that a beehive?”

Kinel pointed to something. It is also called the ‘Iron Hive’. A strategy point that is described at length in strategy books and setting books.

Breaking that part had the highest chance of obtaining a rare item like royal jelly.

“You have to attack the hive to get royal jelly. Before killing the boss, I aim for the harder part over there.”

Because it is also a common item among players. If you take this, you will get a very high score.

“Queen Bee can sting or charge. Right now we don’t have an antidote, so let’s be careful.”

Unlike Armored Bee, it was also written that Queen Bee often eats meat to maintain her size. I had to prevent getting poisoned and getting into trouble.

“Then.. What are you going to do with the first attack? Mr. Tugu?”

“..Of course you should use the joint machine. Two minutes.”

“Ah. That’s right..”

As if he agreed as soon as he heard my words, Kainel immediately looked at the wizard and nodded his head. Ariel’s cheeks were very red.

“Hey Yak. Heeep.”

She couldn’t stand it and started to hiccup a little. Are back hugs so embarrassing? Ah, if you think I’m doing it with our saintess, it might be a bit like that.

I understood right away when I substituted it like that.

“Be patient with me. If you open the way, Mardol and I will run into Wolffang.”

“Together, joint gi.”

This is not a joint aircraft. Lupus. I shook my head as I looked at the glass knight who had fallen into a delusion alone. A joint season is called a joint season when the attributes of the two are mixed.

“..What should the name of joint aircraft be..? Ariel?”

“Hey, I don’t know… How about Shine Fire Works? Kai..”

“What is it, did I join you as the warrior of light?”

“..Yes.”

As the couple of warriors prepared to use the joint skill, Mardol and I discussed each other’s swordsmanship while devising a way to give Queen Bee an effective hit.

“I will strike the beehive as much as I can with an air strike. We need to prepare in advance, so please keep the formation collapsed as much as possible with the Grancia style swordsmanship.”

“What should I use?”

“Howling Wind, which is two meals a day, would be fine. Only worker bees will be able to knock them out.”

“..How do you know? Richt?”

I wondered if what I knew was suspicious. Golden wolf eyes were visible in the helmet. I think it will only backfire if I try to evade it.

“If you are a swordsman, it is essential to know the imperial swordsmanship.”

It’s like being hit by a judo newspaper, so let’s not deny it and tell the truth. When I answered appropriately, he cleared his doubts and nodded.

“I see.”

Looks a bit flagged. You really wouldn’t become a dispenser of future knowledge by being locked up in the basement of the imperial family, right? Nex Elderly is there, so he’ll probably be fine.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Forcibly ignoring the feeling of stabbing my stomach, I started attacking the Armored Queen Bee.

***

‘Why is that man wearing a helmet…’

Fine Grancia was organizing her thoughts inside her glass armor. At first he thought he was wearing it to guard himself or to hide his identity.

‘Richt is strong but clumsy….’

With her good eyes, she gradually saw through his figure, reminding herself that there were more than one question.

She had been caught doing a judo newspaper for a while before, and now that I think about it, she didn’t show her face like she did when she was eating stew.

‘You looked bad yesterday, but you were strong.’

The pure white wolf’s ears pricked up, showing curiosity. Her hatred of losing is one of the few characters she has defeated.

Because of this, this change came very fresh.

‘But why do you look so lively today?’

I was even awed by the sight of Licht literally pulverizing monsters the previous day while using the air strike.

‘Unique and strong.’

Her golden eyes revived a little as she looked at the man wearing the black knight’s helmet.

‘..It won’t be a problem if you fight me.’

Her tail waggled inside her heavy gloves, in anticipation that she might be able to make herself stronger for her upcoming grade exam.
