Suddenly, half of the monster task force's staff was sent on a long-term business trip.

Nevertheless, Seongjin felt uneasy for some reason. I know well that Logan goes out every year to subdue the sea, but this time, I felt particularly uncomfortable.

[If it bothers you that much, you can go together too, right?]

Is it because I have an excuse to escape the stuffy imperial capital? The devil bastard asked vaguely.

'Well, I'd like to do that too, but... ... .'

But Seongjin still had a lot of things to sort out.

It would be great if we could catch him before Giacomo Milo's trial. We also need to separately investigate Margrave Sigismund's scheme.

Where is that? The investigations into groups entrusted to Dasha are slowly showing visible results.

'Plus, Leonard of Lohan... ... .'

The thing that bothered me the most was, of course, him. A moody bastard who hangs around his sister.

At the last birthday party, I thought he was acting too close to Seongjin, but as expected, as soon as he returned to the imperial capital, he was sending me letters requesting a meeting every day.

It was clearly visible that he had impure feelings for Amelia and hoped that Seongjin would build a bridge in the middle.

'As expected, I have to be in the ecliptic now. Owen will come back soon too.'

[Owen? You mean the 1st prince? How do you know she's coming back?]

'Oh, there is such a thing.'

Seongjin responded roughly and quietly frowned.

Oh, it's really uncomfortable. I guess I'm anxious. We need to come up with some more measures.

But surprisingly, it seemed that Seongjin was not the only one who received such a premonition.

It's been a while since I had some free time, so I went to the training hall of the Knights of St. Marsyas to check out Sisley's training.

Cough!

Before you even reach the entrance, you see armor flying powerfully into the air with a loud noise. Perhaps Sisley is accelerating his training.

"wow! "That's really cool, Sisley!"

On one side of the training hall, I saw Seo Yi-seo cheering with excitement.

What is he doing here? You're a saint in name and appearance, but don't you have an official schedule?

"... ah? Brother Mores!"

At that time, Sisley, who noticed Seongjin's presence from afar, waved his flail and gave a fierce greeting. I could see that the little boy's mood had improved significantly.

"Aren't you busy with the task force these days? "What's going on here?"

"Well, I was just passing by and stopped by."

It seemed like a lot of changes had occurred in Sisley's training while I hadn't seen him.

First of all, the little boy has thrown off the cumbersome saint's clothes and is wearing proper knight's attire.

Additionally, held in a small hand, was an ugly flail with spikes sticking out here and there.

Seeing that his posture was quite stable even while holding a weapon that seemed heavier than before, I was able to guess how intensely the little boy had been training.
