Chapter 5

Lunch and an Orphanage

Several days after the practical exam, the results still hadn’t been announced, so the examinees were forced to wait around on standby. As the princess’s holy knight, I was her bodyguard, but she had given me the day off.

“All right, time to hit the town!” In high spirits, I set out to explore the unfamiliar city. Of course I wanted to check out any good restaurants, comfortable bars, and cheap food stalls, but at the top of my list was getting to know some lovely ladies. The streets were bustling with activity and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Just as I was lost in thought about the promising day ahead...

“Hey! Outta the way!” An angry voice cut through the air, and I saw what appeared to be a small-time thug yelling at an old woman. Next to the old lady, several children were cowering in fear. It seemed like he was mad at the old lady and the kids for getting in his way while they were shopping. The road was more than wide enough for everyone, so he could have easily walked around. He had startled the lady, causing her to drop her vegetables, which only seemed to piss him off even more.

“You stupid old hag!” the man shouted as he pushed the poor old woman. I had already started approaching them, but when I saw him knock her over, I rushed to catch her before she hit the ground. “Huh? Who the hell are you?!” the man demanded, caught off guard by my sudden appearance.

“Are you all right, ma’am?”

“Y-Yes. Thank you very much.” After making sure the old woman was steady on her feet, I stood before the thug.

“Apologize to the old lady, then beat it.” I wanted to resolve things peacefully if possible. Women were on my agenda, not some mediocre thug.

“Why should I? It’s her fault for getting in my way.” Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like peace was going to be an option.

“All right then, I see your logic. Guess it’s my turn then. ‘Outta the way.’” I was pretty sure that was the first thing he’d said.

“What’re you babbling about?” Clearly he had heard what I said and still had no intention of moving, so I pushed him. “Gaaah!” The moment I touched his shoulder, he let out a goofy scream and went flying. After rolling to the edge of the street, it didn’t look like he would be getting up anytime soon.

“‘Stupid thug.’ We good now? After all, it’s your fault for being in the way, right?” All I did was use his own reasoning against him. He couldn’t complain. Ignoring the dumbfounded onlookers, I helped the old woman pick up her vegetables.

“I can’t thank you enough,” the old woman said again.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m just glad you weren’t hurt.” One of the children nodded in agreement. Putting my preferences aside, an elderly woman was still a woman.

“Why did you help us, mister?” a child in patchwork clothing asked.
