◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

This game was very similar to Football Manager.

Except for a few heroines who had to be raised as a necessity, you had to recruit the most useful talents to form a knight order and manage the territory to earn money and reputation.

In this game, all the choices I made would eventually come back to me.

Especially when the commoners I had scammed reported me to the court, it was truly a sight to behold.

Of course, there was also the option to bribe and get out of it. But this game was designed in a way that if you made a bad choice, you would keep making bad choices.

The endings filled with bad choices were not good.

Bad endings, where the protagonist dies and the heroines abandon him.

It was also the first ending I had ever seen.

At that time, I thought it was the worst ending.

[Hehehe! You got sperm injected into your vagina without knowing anything!]

I didn’t know.

That there was a bottom to the bottom.

Anyway, the importance of choices was immense.

Even if it seemed like you were losing a little at the moment, if you showed kindness, it would eventually come back to you someday.

That was the main theme of this game.

And recently, there was something that made me realize I had made the best choice.

That was recruiting Cluna into the Royal Knights.

Of course, it was never an easy task.

It was almost like recruiting the highest leader of elven society.

Frankly, it was like bringing over the defense minister of another country.

Under normal circumstances, such a thing would be impossible.

But the current situation was far from normal.

Due to the annihilation of the Royal Knights, the racial alliance was shaken.

Plus, her daughter was currently in the Royal Knights.

Having lost all her family, she couldn’t help but be shaken.

“Oh my, are you already up?”

In the end, she gave up her position as a guardian and chose to join the Royal Knights.

Her silver hair, similar to Clara’s but darker, was drawing curves.

In fact, as it turned out, she had already handed over her position as a guardian and came all the way here.

Originally, she was going to retire, but she changed her mind and joined the Royal Knights to protect her daughter.

And now she became the mother of us all.

Cluna smiled brightly and reached out her delicate hand. I exclaimed in surprise.

“No, I’m fine. Take care of the others first.”

“If you say so, Commander.”

“…Phew.”

At my words, Cluna nodded her head and stepped back.

Left alone in the room, I let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the trauma was still haunting me.

But apart from that, Cluna had become an excellent fortress manager.

On the first day she joined, she declared that she could manage this fortress all by herself…

At first, I thought it was a bluff.

No matter how great a talent she was, it was impossible for her to manage such a large fortress alone.

That’s what I thought at first.

I finished my preparations and stepped out of the room. And I immediately encountered them, mopping the windows.

They were very small little girls with wings.

“Good work.”

[Kyaa! Kyaa!]

“Are you saying thank you…?”

The little girls who heard my words laughed and flew around above my head.

Of course, I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

I could only make a difficult expression.

These miniature little girls were Fairy’s.

They were a race that coexisted with elves through contracts and were versatile enough to do everything from household chores to scouting.

However, communication with them was only possible for elves who knew the ancient language, and even then, only elves with considerable seniority.

Anyway, thanks to recruiting Cluna, we were able to restore Lionheart Fortress.

Of course, important facilities like the smithy were still closed.

But that could be solved somehow once the personnel requested from the human kingdom arrived.

Cluna’s burden would also be greatly reduced.

“Damn it! Two Kanfs! This is not good at all!”

“What the hell, you brat?! Do you really want to die today?!”

“…”

As I went down to the dining hall, I heard familiar shouting.

Thanks to that, my head felt like it was going to split from the start.

Those two were fighting each other every chance they got.

I had to do something about it here.

If it were Clara, it would be fine.

But if Cluna heard those words from Ruby, it could lead to a fight if things went wrong.

Of course, both of them were skilled enough to be worthy of the name Royal Knights.

But the difference in their experience was too great.

Ruby would probably be overwhelmed by Cluna one-sidedly.

If that happened, it would be troublesome for me.

So I was about to step in and solve it quickly, right at that moment.

“You can’t use such words.”

The one who was definitely in the kitchen had somehow squeezed between Clara and Ruby.

Cluna smiled faintly and gently pressed Ruby’s forehead with her index finger.

“Uh, uh… I’m sorry.”

“Yes, I’m glad you understand. Clara? You should also go and sit down now.”

“Oh, okay. I’ll sit down.”

“Wow.”

Look at that benevolent appearance.

Isn’t she fit to be our mother?

But at the same time, a question arose.

Kanf was a derogatory term for elves.

Can she be so unaffected by it?

“Teacher.”

“…Good morning, Helia.”

I’m not kidding, I really didn’t feel her presence at all.

As if it were natural, Helia was there.

I had the illusion that the girl’s red hair was waving fiercely.

Helia was looking at me.

Her gaze was so intense that it felt like my face, where her gaze was fixed, would be pierced through.

Soon, Helia smiled and opened her mouth.

“I smell another woman on you.”

“What?”

“But don’t worry. I’m always on your side, Teacher.”

“Wait…!!”

I quickly snapped my index and middle fingers.

At the same time, everything around me began to turn gray.

Finally, when everything’s time had stopped, I could barely see it.

Helia, had approached Cluna in an instant and was swinging her sword.

I was shocked to see that.

Of course, I knew that Helia followed me well, but…

I never dreamed that she would go berserk like this.

In the first place, Helia wasn’t a yandere in the original work… Right?

When I thought about it, it seemed like there was an obsession tag in the original work too.

Anyway, I couldn’t leave it like this. So I quickly approached Helia in the stopped time, put her sword back in, and lowered her body that was floating in the air.

“There was a brief commotion.”

“Teacher?!”

“You calm down too.”

“…Yes, Teacher.”

In fact, although Helia’s talent was outstanding, if she were at Clara or Ruby’s level, not Cluna’s, it wouldn’t be that difficult to receive her attack now.

That’s why I stepped in directly instead.

Because Helia could get seriously hurt if things went wrong.

But I never dreamed that she would go berserk like this.

So, let’s make it clear.

“My body is full of Teacher’s scent…”

“…”

Let’s pretend I didn’t see that for now.

“Attention everyone! There’s something I need to make clear before we eat.”

“You don’t even bother a dog when it’s eating!”

“That’s right! I’m really hungry!”

Of course, there was opposition from Clara and Ruby. But before I could open my mouth, there was a loud bang!

When I turned my head, I saw Cluna smiling with a vein popping on her forehead.

“You two, quiet. The commander is speaking, isn’t he?”

“I’m always ready to hear Teacher’s words.”

There was opposition from Clara and Ruby, but at Cluna’s small word, everyone shut their mouths.

Helia went without saying.

Everyone’s gaze was on me.

Soon, I opened my mouth.

“From now on, fighting between members is strictly prohibited.”

“Huh? What are you suddenly talking about?”

“Clara, what kind of language is that?”

“…What do you mean by that?”

Cluna, nice assist.

It may be a bit out of the blue, but I have to announce it here where everyone is gathered.

I had been thinking about it since I first took the position of commander of the Royal Knights.

“It means exactly what you heard. You know too, don’t you? The real reason why the Royal Knights were annihilated.”

“…”

“Small quarrels lead to a rift in emotions. A vessel that leaks from the inside won’t stop leaking from the outside.”

So, let’s at least not fight with each other.

It won’t be an easy thing, but even so.

Everyone nodded at my words.

Especially Helia, who unusually avoided my gaze.

“And Ruby, finish your meal and get ready to leave with me.”

“I’m going on a mission too?”

“We’re going to catch the knight who deserted.”

“Just the two of you? I absolutely oppo—!”

“Little kids need to eat a lot to grow up nicely, right?”

Helia, who had been quietly listening next to me, objected.

But Cluna, who naturally came with a bowl, managed to calm Helia down by feeding her rice.

I continued.

“Didn’t I tell you before? That I would bring that person back because they are alone.”

“Ah, right. You did say that.”

“We don’t know when the demons will attack. So, we’ll bring back that deserted knight as quickly as possible.”

First, gather all the surviving Royal Knights.

The rest would come after that.
