46. Teachings and Promises (1)

What is Namgisa in this world.

I have heard that in the fantasy novels here, there is always at least one man who is the main character’s best friend, colleague, or even husband. It was said that Namgisa was very popular among women.

The mana of the past must have awakened, too, sincere words of a merchant who tried to turn the previous owner of this body into a male priest and sell it, so you can trust it.

Reading those memories, I couldn’t understand why Namgisa was so popular.

‘What on earth do you like?’

Unlike other weak and introverted men, because of his strength?

No. If he only liked a strong man, then the slave named Lindt next to him had to be sold before being normal.

The young was a man who was a man who was a man who was not like a man in the original Earth.

However, considering that such a lint was a slave that was not popular, let alone sold.

It seemed that strong men were not popular.

Why the hell do women in this world like ‘male knight’ so much because what touches their heartstrings?

This is the answer I came up with after careful consideration on my own.

‘Distorted obsession with strong men… ….’

The words of the merchant who was my owner in the past came to mind.

‘Since ancient times, Namgisa is very beautiful on the outside, and everyone who sees the remains should be happy with their eyes.’

‘Inside, he is loyal to one master, but he is so loyal that he has to possess all the virtues of a wise father and a good father.’

‘The most important thing is the big joint!’

‘For my lord, I always have to draw a sword and have the strength to slash bravely against any woman, no matter how strong she is!’

… It’s a great belief.

I was sure of her madness.

Like male knights is a distorted obsession with strong men.

‘Well, there were some guys on Earth who especially liked female knights… ….’

After I was sold out to the Cianella family, I thought that there would be nothing much different from them.

Now that I am receiving the distorted gaze of Nam Gi-sa that I had received from the slave trader again, I had no idea.

I want you to pay attention to me, but I can’t help but go there if I don’t want to pay attention to you.

‘Still, it’s good that Sione is here.’

The fortunate thing is that Shione is sending a hostile gaze towards the people who were looking at me like that and putting pressure on them.

For a moment, Shione scanned my surroundings with her characteristic twisted eyes, and the gaze that pierced my skin disappeared as before.

Shione, whose eyes were roughly organized, finally relaxed her expression.

I asked her.

“Cianella’s Nam Gi-sah… It’s definitely because of the rumors, so there’s a lot of attention.”

“The man who defeated Arachne? Isn’t it good gossip for those who only wielded swords on fictional days?”

“That’s true, but… ….”

Well, it’s because he caught Arachne and protected Shion by carrying her arm.

It must fit perfectly into the standard of a male gentleman that the women here say.

Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem strange to have nicknames such as Namgisa or something.

However, the sudden surge of interest was a little burdensome.

In the meantime, she asked Sione one thing.

“Does Sione-nim like a man like Namgi-sa?”

“Ugh, huh? Why are you suddenly asking… ?”

“Since most women seem to like Namgisa, I just asked what Sione-nim would like.”

“Yes… If you are leaving…….”

Shione hesitated without giving any answer.

It seems that she, too, is harboring her own fantasies about being her husband.

When she saw the reaction, she tasted a lot of teasing.

“… I’m a bit longing for it too.”

“I see.”

It must be a bit embarrassing to speak in front of me, nicknamed Namgisa.

I thought it might be a good idea to think about it a little more, so I put on my most nonchalant expression.

“How about me?”

“That, what do you mean?”

“Didn’t Sione tell me that I’m Cianella’s priestess?”

“That… ….”

Gulp.

Shione swallowed her dry saliva.

Seeing Shione’s blushing face as if it were about to explode, she eventually burst into laughter.

“It was a joke.”

“…… !”

Shione pursed her lips as if she wanted to argue. Finally, she sighed when she saw my smile.

“… Let’s not do this here and let’s shoot a bow.”

“I will follow.”

I followed Shione, who was completely exhausted, and entered her shooting range.

As expected, rumors about me spread among the archers in the shooting range, so all eyes were focused on them for a moment.

Soon it was resolved with Shione’s callous response.

Shione, who was roughly in place, started shooting her bow slowly.

Unlike when I first learned to bow, the arrows were shot in a very stable posture.

She easily drove the arrowhead into the center of the target.

“Standing and shooting seems to be enough, so let’s practice shooting while moving.”

“What about moving?”

“Even if a monster pops up next to me, I can’t just shoot my bow and stick to it, isn’t it? I think it would be a good idea to move your body slowly from now on and get used to shooting a bow.”

“Oh. Let’s try that.”

As I said, Shione walked to the side and shot an arrow.

Piyuung!

The arrow flew off and hit the corner of the target.

Shione’s expression went cold as he tried to aim for her center, but it didn’t turn out the way he thought.

“I made a mistake for a moment.”

One more protest.

The results did not change significantly.

Closer to the center than before, but still closer to the outside.

“… Once more.”

“Just one more time.”

“… One last time.”

When the arrow didn’t fire as she wanted, Shione put on a calm expression.

I guess I couldn’t catch the inspiration that I could shoot properly just once.

Around this time, I felt it was right to help, so I went behind her.

Shione shuddered at the sudden approach, enough to hear breathing.

“… Ray?”

“Get your posture. I will help you this time.”

I put her face right behind her shoulder.

It was to more closely assess the target Shione was looking at.

Shione looked at me with only her eyes rolling stiffly, as if she was very embarrassed by the sudden narrowing of the distance.

“Please protest.”

“… Anyway, isn’t it too close this time?”

“Didn’t I tell you this often before?

“No matter how hard it is, men stick around like this and look at the people around them… I don’t think it’s very good.”

“It’s just for teaching, isn’t it? Stop worrying.”

When I said it bluntly, Shione finally pulled her back.

I put my right hand on top of Sione’s hand, which was holding the arrow and string.

“Isn’t Sione-nim’s virtuoso just teaching archery?”

“Sir… !”

When I put my hand on top of mine, Shione let out a puzzled sound.

Now, this kind of reaction has become accustomed to, and he replied appropriately.

“You can shoot the arrow when I let go.”

“… I get it.”

I walked along Shione.

Walking slowly sideways, I guided the arrows to change the direction and height.

And when I thought I could fly straight to the center.

Let go of Shione’s hand.

“Let’s shoot.”

Right after my words, an arrow flew and hit the target.

As soon as the arrow hit the center, her gaze, which had been cluttered, was fixed in the middle of the target.

“… I will try shooting one more time alone.”

“I’ll see you from behind.”

As if Shione was possessed, she shot her bow again.

As expected, her arrows moved closer to the center than before, as if she had succeeded in catching the senses this time around.

With a few more days of practice, I think I’ll be able to get used to shooting while moving at that speed.

It is an outstanding talent.

Expectations are raised when you show that you are rapidly developing according to each and every one of them.

That’s why I thought.

‘Can you tell me how to put mana in arrowheads?’

How about practicing putting mana into an arrow instead of a sword from now on?

Because small arrowheads inevitably need mana power to pierce the monster’s thick carapace and hide.

In order to reach a certain level, you must go through this process unconditionally.

Like the knight’s sword aura, the techniques for reinforcing the power of weak arrows are not only similar.

Since Shione has already risen to the level of a sword user, she must know how to infuse mana into my weapon, albeit weakly.

Through the quest, even her talent for the bow has accelerated.

My heart leaned toward letting you know that this happened.

After contemplating for a while, I saw my master.

Sione was confirming that the arrows fired again had hit close to the center.

Betsy was laughing as she looked at my bow and her hand.

As long as it is related to mana.

There are many eyes and ears here, so I had to be careful.

I approached Sione and whispered a whisper.

“Can we come to the shooting range tomorrow at sunrise, just the two of us?”

“You mean like before?”

“Yes, just like back then.”

She nodded at Shione’s question.

“I have something to tell you, just the two of us.”

“…Alone?”

“Yes.”

Shione, who has fallen in love with bows, will be able to give a good response.

Shione tilted her head and expressed her curiosity about what I could tell you.

I just answered with a smile because I wanted to see the reaction when I heard the answer at the end of anticipation.

“You can look forward to it.”

And after that.

Whenever Sione had a chance, she looked at me with expectant eyes.
