Chapter 266 (Self Edited) Meeting a Paladin

When they turned around to the voice, there was a warrior no, perhaps, it was a person who seemed to be a knight.

Even the persons face was covered with a helmet in his full-body armor, which was so tightly worn to the point that his skin wasnt exposed at all. The person didnt look appropriate to be seen in the city, but rather looked suspicious if the situation wasnt right, but Soma didnt think so because of the surrounding atmosphere. Soma thought it was a knight for some reason, which was somehow giving a peace of mind feeling.

Moreover, the knight skills seemed to be conspicuous considerably. At least, the knight should have Advanced Rank skills, and didnt seem to rely on skills or lack of daily training. He wouldnt lose in the fight, but depending on the situation, it might be a bit troublesome.

The person, who Soma a.s.sumed was a knight, opened the mouth as if in a hurry because of Somas appearance thinking about such a thing.

Aah, no, I may look suspicious, but even so, I should I show my face first before making an excuse? (??)

As the words uttered, the knight extended the hands to the helmet and removed it. Immediately after that, a very good face with purple hair cut around the shoulder and sharp eyes of the same color. Coupled with a dignified look, the person was a female knight with the perfect image of a knight.

My name is Ingrid Grenemier. Im a paladin. (Ingrid)

Paladin I remember hearing it. Did you mean the knights who are said to be the cornerstone of the Holy City protection? (Soma)

That seems to be it. Well, the Holy City isnt a country, so the t.i.tle is supposed to be self-proclaimed. (Hildegard)

Thats right. But in terms of att.i.tude and strength, Im proud to say that I will not follow behind the official knights. Aah, sorry. I didnt call you both to say that. (Ingrid)

That reminds me, it seems so. Then, what kind of business do you have with us? (Soma)

The Holy City, which wasnt an official country, couldnt have soldiers like a country had. It was simply because it didnt have enough money to hire soldiers at all the time At least, that was on the public appearance.

Therefore, it was the role of the paladins, who were private soldiers, to take charge of the work of the soldiers in the Holy City. One of the roles was to do patrol in the city, and it was probably the reason why the knight in front of them, Ingrid, was here.

It seemed that he called out to Soma and Hildegard for the same reason However, they shouldnt have done something suspicious. They were only at the level of looking around the surrounding area. It shouldnt be a reason to call them out

Hmm, well Actually, Im also not sure about that. (Ingrid)

What do you mean? If you think we are suspicious, I can understand that even though Im going to refute it, but to say that you are not sure is (Hildegard)

Well, even if you say that youre not sure the reason for calling us out, to be honest, its also a problem to us. (Soma)

I knew that would be the case. Even so, I strongly felt that I had to call you out. (Ingrid)

They didnt understand what she meant, but they didnt think she was joking. Ingrids att.i.tude seemed to be disconcerting, but at the same time, she felt somehow that she needed to call them out.

For her to have that feeling was It was because of that, Soma turned her eyes to Hildegard because she was aware of such a phenomenon.

Hildegard. (Soma)

Hmm its certainly likely. Your name is Ingrid, right? Can I see at you for a bit? (Hildegard) (TLN: see = )

See? Well, I dont mind if you want to look since its not troublesome, but why in this situation (Ingrid) (TLN: see = )

Hmm, since you commit to it, Im going to see you freely. Please excuse me. (Hildegard)

With that said, Hildegard began to stare at Ingrid. Even if Ingrid didnt know what Hildegard was doing, she twisted her body slightly as if she felt uncomfortable. Was there something she somewhat felt? Well, even if she didnt feel anything, it would be uncomfortable to be stared at silently.

However, the time didnt last very long. When she thought that she was stared for about a minute, Hildegard, began to nod as if she was convinced of something.

Did you get anything? (Hildegard)

Well, I knew why she was calling out to us for the time being, and that was the cause. Intuition Special Rank. Its almost certainly because of this. (Hildegard)

Intuition Special Grade? Is that a skill? Even though I did a skill appraisal, I wasnt told that I had such a skill (Ingrid)

Well, intuition is systematically the same as the skill appraisal. That is the see that I was saying. (Hildegard)

Ingrid was somewhat skeptical, but Soma had no reason to doubt. He asked the question on the a.s.sumption that it was correct.

What kind of skill is that? (Soma)

Its difficult to explain in words Well, in short, its a skill that feels the future. Its a skill to select better actions from the future she feels. In battle, she can somehow know how to deal with the opponents attack, and how to attack it with the highest effectiveness. (Hildegard)

Hmm isnt that invincible? (Soma)

That said, its not that convenient. Its a pa.s.sive skill that she cant do about it, and she can use it actively. Its not very frequent to activate since everything is done unconsciously, and at best, its possible to make the worst choice. Well, thats if its in a normal situation. (Hildegard)

What do you aah, is it because of the Special Rank? (Soma)

Well. Perhaps its like this. After you acted a long time ago, then, you found out that it was the best course of action. Intuition cant be trained. Its a completely innate skill. (Hildegard)

I couldnt understand some part of what you were saying, but certainly, youre right. There were times when I thought it would be better to do so after quite some time, and as a result, I saved the crisis in the village where I lived. Speaking of which, I became involved with the Holy Doctrine immediately, but I decided to become a paladin in the Holy City because I somehow wanted to do so. (Ingrid)

Perhaps, the person herself unknowingly decided that it was the best. (Hildegard)

Hmm (Soma)

Soma nodded to Hildegards explanation. He was convinced of what he felt when he saw Ingrid.

Perhaps, that was why he thought it would be troublesome if he had to fight her. Even if there was a difference in ability, if the best action was taken by intuition, even if it was rare, it must be troublesome. It wasnt a scary skill to turn into an enemy, but yes, it was troublesome.

However, her worth would be most demonstrated by those who had many opportunities to make important choices. Saving the crisis in her village was likely to include her surroundings, which also included her. For those who manage the country, she was a person whom they desperately wanted to get.

It wasnt an exaggeration or anything, and if this information spread unnecessarily, it wouldnt be weird if a war started over her.

But when I think about it, I dont think its best to talk to us, right? Thats how things about you became known. (Soma)

Perhaps, it was necessary to speak to us aside from the danger. And lets not leak the things that we know, alright? (Hildegard)

Thats right, but I dont think I have any intuition skills, but I feel like I can predict the next development. (Soma)

Well, maybe, that premonition is probably correct. I feel something similar. (Hildegard)

It seems that you guys know a lot, but who are you? Well, I feel like I really need to talk to you (Ingrid)

You dont have to worry too much because were just regular visitors. Well, I feel like I cant say that right away. (Soma)

It was at that time when Soma said such a thing with a sigh. The three people who were there turned their eyes in the same direction almost at the same time.

It was a specific sound heard from someone No, it was because of the voice

Just now a scream? (Ingrid)

Goodness it seems something like going to happen right away. (Soma)

Well, if it happens anyway, its better to happen quickly. (Hildegard)

Yeah, youre right. (Soma)

You guys no, thats the priority for the time being. (Ingrid)

Yes, it is. (Soma)

In this situation, he couldnt pretend that he didnt care. Soma sighed again in the situation where there was only a premonition of trouble, and then, he rushed to the place where the scream was heard.
