16-3. The thrill of final exams goes hand in hand with youth.

Fine Grancia.

Her good eyes could tell people’s lies.

Thus, since I was young, I could easily detect flattery or insincere words from someone,

“…”

I saw the expressions of people who saw themselves as monsters. Also, if a person who tells lies firmly believes the truth, these eyes do not work.

She hated her own good eye several times a day.

In order to mix with people, I should have known this and kept silent. It is a similar case with Nex Aureus.

Imperfect talent. Because it was like a curse.

But this time it was different.

I remembered someone who lied until he became the Demon King.

A strange man wearing a black knight helmet. He is an unusual person who has come close to himself before he knew it.

“Thanks to you, I had a lot of fun. Thank you.”

When she saw it with her own eyes, these words were a mixture of lies and truth.

Coming to think of it now, they would have hated leaving themselves behind to die.

It was an act of walking directly into the limbs. Because I was aware of the head to some extent,

As usual, he didn’t try to subdue his opponent with Drake style swordsmanship.

The angle at which he shot through the air was to make a gap by making the Magic Hat far away, and it was to heal himself and others with the Paladin’s skill.

As soon as that was over, he borrowed the holy sword of light and took a strange action.

Because of this, he seemed to have guessed that the Demon King of Truth was as strong as he was. Because the holy sword was an effective weapon against the demon lord. It was a reasonable decision.

“Contradiction. Licht. Don’t hold the form…. It would have made me less sad.”

However, ironically, the man had a weak heart.

‘Let’s fight together, it’s scary to be honest. I might die.’

What came out instead of

Was a sad farewell mixed with lies.

Actually, I wanted to stay with you all the time. The truth that is stuck on the back of doing. It was only Fine who noticed that feeling.

Thus, Fine knew that a man named Rich would reappear soon. Because it was such a deeply embarrassing word.

‘Mr. Mardol. Are you sad because I’m not there?’ Or ‘Kinell-san, Ariel-san. What are you doing?”

A month has passed like that. It became a daily routine for him to search the forest while using a teleport crystal every day.

Even if the Imperial Guard, like Gold, tried to dissuade him, he did not miss a single day to find his traces.

He hated it because he feared that someone would die because of him like his mother, and that the same incident would repeat itself. He was scared He was so sick of himself that he was weak.

“..Really, what is it? Leave people to worry about.”

But I came back casually and said, I’m sorry. It’s a word. How stupid people are

A black knight who has risen to the level of a sword master while training swords for the person he likes.

He seemed like a person who liked fresh love.

Yesterday, he called himself out from the bakery separately so that Kainel and Ariel could spend time together. Even if you don’t notice it, you know that much.

.. Although he had an unfortunate incident where he became a little emotional and cried while holding Licht. Anyway, it was.

‘I couldn’t help it. Because I thought he had been dead for over ten years….’

A man named Rich was just kindly comforting himself. Even if he was weak, he could protect him. It’s not your fault. Kind words,

“…”

He treated her wounds warmly to some extent.

Like saving her life or being a strong person. Rather than those evaluations, this approached Fine more favorably. She obviously thought she was going to say something when she blamed herself.

‘It would be nice if you could blame me a little more. Richt.’

There was no such thing. She would have almost died fighting Magic Hat. I don’t know what method she used when she recovered.

It was rather suspicious that she appeared unscathed against the strongest demon lord she had ever seen. It may have been healing at the cost of her life.

‘A good liar.’

She is someone who always piles up lies and puts herself up against others and tries to solve it alone. Such a person was the kind she really hated,

‘..Licht is different.’

In Fine’s mind, the evaluation of the Black Knight was different. She knew now that in the end she had put all her effort into being there for her and her party of warriors.

Her golden eyes moved carefully as she examined the Queen of Hearts handed to him from him. A study with a small bonfire burning.

‘.. She said that if I catch the magic hat, my mother will return to normal.’

There was a white-haired girl in that space. Recalling the question she had asked Laplace and the Sage, she let out a sigh of relief.

‘If you think about it… it wasn’t the first time you lied. Richt.’

This time, Fine recalled Licht from her first meeting.

A person I didn’t even think of at first.

He heard that a person called the Hero of Light had come from a rural village, so he started by asking the butler D’Jour to find out if he could compete with him.

But Kainel’s skills were below her expectations, and she was so disappointed the moment she tried to get her attention. She told D’Jour to spell out her name.

‘..Licht.’

I got to know an unusual man wearing a black knight helmet. Shadow Wolf, a 5-star monster, had a habit of burrowing into the shadows, so there were many cases where even his skilled players were not aware of it.

It was not true through her book that she had to be careful of the light going out or that her eyes were weak points.

‘Easily subdued the Shadow Wolf, Licht makes sense.’

To know the weakness of a monster that is difficult to attack is to have the skills to match it.

So she headed to the academy. A place she had always wanted to visit.

She decided that if she was there, she would be stronger.

She even went to school wearing glass armor, a master piece grade. She didn’t want to be threatened by Magic Hat, or to find out that she was the princess.

After that, when she applied to join the magic club, Licht’s lie was revealed.

Was he explaining the three-dimensional magic circle theory?

“Student Licht, where did you hear about this theory?”

“I thought to myself. Because I can’t use magic, I came to admire her.”

A very contradictory person. I hope she doesn’t even lie.

‘Even if it’s not me, it’s too obvious.’

The man wearing the black knight helmet was so stupid that her good eyes were not needed. When she lied, her words trembled and sped up, so even the ignorant Kainel noticed.

Swordsmanship exchange was the same. At first, she seemed to be teaching herself Drake-style swordsmanship, but

“I’m still thinking about it.”

It was a person who changed her words like turning her palm.

However, her lies were clearly visible, and she was so frank and inexperienced that she couldn’t even see through them with her own good eyes.

“Everyone has their weaknesses. Mardol.”

“If you have such negative thoughts in the first place, you will only get hurt.”

At that time, at the swordsmanship training ground, we shared our worries about ourselves.

“..It’s okay. Mr. Mardol. It’s not your fault.”

“..Thank you for fighting until the end.”

It was comfortable and warm because I honestly felt that the sincere conversations we had yesterday at the Grancia Empire Bakery were all true.

‘There really is a good demon king….’

On the contrary, she liked those parts. She didn’t have to figure out her lies, and even though she knew long ago that she was a princess, she didn’t give her special treatment.

‘..Is it right for me to know that person properly?’

Fine suddenly had an idea. A man named Rich was understanding him well. He is clad in glass armor, and his body is close to that of a heavily armored knight.

Honestly, the feeling of fear could be read in his eyes, but he was a person who laughed awkwardly even when he made physical contact.

Fine was slightly curious to see how she would react if she took off her glass armor, but again her wolf ears and tail drooped.

‘Not yet… But that’s not possible.’

This time, in the Endless Forest of Monsters, Magic Hat almost killed the people around me for the second time. She couldn’t catch her breath as she recalled her then-past.

“Ugh..”

Grabbing her breasts, she complained of her pain. Her mad magician killed her mother and all the maids she was close to.

I did not want to see such a scene again, so I fought until the end.

Back then, even though she was weak, she protected her. As Licht said, she couldn’t stay still.

“…”

If it hadn’t been for what the man had said before, would I have been able to fight Magic Hat with such courage?

No. He tried to protect the warriors with the hope that he could protect them even if they were weak.

Maybe it was because of the encouragement I heard yesterday. I still couldn’t accept the black knight’s words that it wasn’t my fault,

‘It’s my fault. Richt… I’m still weak.’

Strength entered Fine’s grasp. Her ears and tail came back to life. She barely came to her senses and let out a sigh of relief.

“..In the grade exam, Licht wants a dragon heart.”

Anyway, I wanted to repay him. I didn’t tell my father yet, fearing that he would faint.

‘Because I was not able to use magic…. Perhaps?’

I want to give something to the black knight who saved her mother. The feeling of ‘was trying to fill her empty glassy heart.

‘..What?’

What is the reason for this thought? He had doubts about his unusual appearance.

‘Not for saving lives. It’s more like curiosity than that.. Ah.’

As is the habit of others, Fine also put her hand on her chin at some point and was deep in thought. How much time has passed

“I.. That person..”

Fine slowly opened her golden eyes.

“..You want to know more.”

She covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, as her single sentence escaped her mouth involuntarily.
