After being forced to become the Master's attachment doll and barely closing my eyes.
"Ugh…"
—Tsk tsk!
I woke up with an unbearable tickling sensation, and felt something sucking near my ear and a strange moisture.
"Ugh!"
When I opened my eyes in shock, the sight that appeared before my eyes was truly spectacular.
Master was sleeping in a curled-up fetal position, hugging my head tightly to his chest.
What on earth did he do last night? His smooth, white abdomen was clearly visible through the gap of his pajama top, which was all messed up and rolled up.
"Master, Master!"
"Ugh… Stay still… I hate being woken up in the morning…"
Why on earth are you doing this?
Is this really the beginning of infantile regression? The strongest knight in the empire is becoming senile. That is the worst situation I would ever imagine, even in my dreams.
My master is not like this.
A majestic transcendent being praised as the guardian deity of the empire, sucking on his disciple's ear like a baby from the morning and whining that he doesn't want to get up.
This is no different from a nightmare. I wish he was half-asleep and seeing things.
"Master, please get up now. It's embarrassing, so please cover your stomach. Please keep your dignity."
"Haam… Why on earth are you whining so much in the morning…"
"This is going to be difficult. I have to go to work."
"Then, with the authority of my Imperial Grand General, I grant the commander of the Black Lion Knights a day off… Today, you can be as filial as you want to your master…"
"Master, please."
There's no way a transcendent being wouldn't be able to control even the act of sleeping. The Master is still in a dreamland, talking nonsense.
'If it were Alicia, I would have just spanked her butt.'
But that doesn't mean I can be a disciple and do something disrespectful to the Master or force her to wake up. I sighed and got up.
If I didn't use my magic, the light weight of a high elf woman would be like a feather to me.
With the Master hanging on my shoulder, I put on my clothes and continued getting ready for work.
'It reminds me of the old days.'
When the Master first brought me out of the family home, he definitely gave me a ride on his back. Thinking back, it's the complete opposite now.
Back then, I was so skinny, I didn't know I would grow so big.
After roughly preparing, I lay down on the bed again, and only then did the Master rub his eyes and completely wake up.
"Hmm… The bed was really uncomfortable. It felt like my feet were moving around."
"Are you finally getting up? Then, please come down."
"Okay."
The Master jumped down from my shoulder and straightened his posture by making a gesture with his hand to conjure up some wind.
At the same time, the Imperial General's uniform flew in from somewhere on the wind.
"Turn your head around for a moment. Well, it doesn't really matter if you look at it."
"No. How could you?"
"Okay. Now it's done."
The Master's change of clothes was completed in the blink of an eye.
The elven spirit magic that I couldn't learn even if I tried. It seemed really useful in everyday life, but unfortunately, I didn't have even a single bit of talent for spirit magic.
Anyway, I asked the Master for his opinion before heading out of the bedroom, having greeted the morning with him for the first time in a long time.
"It's not much, but you should at least have a meal before you go."
"It's okay. Why would you eat up your disciple's empty living expenses just because you're feeling sorry for him?"
"Didn't you almost eat my ear?"
"Hmm? Didn't Yeo do something to you? When I sleep, I'm a deep sleeper, so I don't know what happened..."
"Well, nothing happened. I'm fine, so don't worry about me."
"Okay. Well then."
I thought it would be nice to have breakfast together after a long time, so I suggested it. It looks like Master will be leaving soon.
—Whew!
I stopped Master for a moment as he approached the window, blowing the wind.
Before he left, I had something I absolutely had to tell him.
"Master, I have something to tell you."
"Huh? That's really something. So, what is it?"
I walked closer to Master. And, slowly hugging her slender body that had become much smaller than mine for quite some time, I whispered.
"By any chance, have you been having a hard time lately?"
"...You little brat. What are you doing ticklishly during the day? When I hugged you, you always writhed around like crazy."
"It's because the way you showed me yesterday and today is so different from before. My teacher, who was always perfect, has become like a child."
"Haa, I wondered what you were going to say. Listen carefully. You impudent disciple."
I was so worried that I couldn't just ignore it, so I prepared myself to get scolded and asked.
—Slap!
What I got in return was a very painful slap.
"Kwak!"
"As you can see, you're really fine. I came to visit because I was worried that you were acting all messy. How dare you worry about your teacher in return? Did you look that clumsy?"
The shock was so strong that it felt like my skull was going to cave in. It was like seeing stars before my eyes.
Damn, if I had known this would happen, I would have just quietly let him go without saying anything.
"Don't get it wrong, disciple. Just because I'm a little comfortable in front of you doesn't mean I'm messed up enough to worry you."
"Ugh... I'm sorry."
Was he angry at his disciple's excessive interference?
The Master, who was blushing slightly, glanced at me, who was holding his forehead and feeling pain, and snorted as he spoke.
"Ha! It's annoying, but at the same time, I'm quite impressed with the disciple's heart that understands his master's heart. In that case, since the punishment has already been given, I should give him a reward."
"Huh?"
—Slap!
The Master forcibly removed my hand and kissed the spot where he had just hit me. For some reason, the soft sensation lingered for quite a while, unlike last time.
Embarrassed by that dualistic attitude, I tried to face the Master, but the Master stretched out his hand to cover my eyes and prevented me from doing so.
"You foolish disciple. Be more diligent. You are still clumsy in many ways. Don't you think you will surpass me someday?"
"...Thank you for teaching me."
"Huh. I will go. I repeat, whenever you have time, come visit the headquarters. This Master is always lonely."
And so, the Master left on the wind.
I enjoyed the mysterious sensation of pain and vitality coexisting in the same area as I went to work.
When I arrived at the unit a little later than usual, almost on time for work, the area in front of the guard post was quite noisy, unlike usual.
"What? What is happening that everyone is doing this?"
When I approached the crowded area wondering what was going on, Agnes greeted me with a very bewildered expression.
"Loyalty! Good morning, Commander. But what on earth is this?"
"Oh, this? It's already here. As expected of the imperial family. The work is done very quickly."
My subordinates were arguing near the huge box with my name on it.
"What on earth is inside?"
"I don't know. Is it some kind of special training tool? Anyway, I can't leave it here, so I have to move it quickly..."
[Commander of the Black Lion Knights, Wolfgang von Schwarz]
Even though several knights were trying to move it to the office before I got there, the box didn't even move.
"Everyone, get out of the way."
"Gasp, Commander! Loyalty!"
—Kwakjik!
With a pounding heart, I smashed the box with my fist, and a very large and heavy greatsword obtained from the relic storage revealed its beautiful form.
I held it in my hand and looked at it with satisfied eyes.
"I, holding that thing with one hand..."
"As expected, you're not human, Commander."
I can't keep calling it a greatsword. I should give it a name. What would be good?
And to use it properly, I'll need a scabbard or at least a hook to hold it. I can't just carry around a weapon like this.
I guess I'll have to visit Eitri's forge sooner or later. No, I can visit it today.
"Why are you all standing there blankly? Let's go in. We have to get to work."
"Ouch!"
I waved my hand to let my subordinates in first, and Agnes cautiously looked around and quickly followed me.
She looked at the greatsword on my shoulder with a hot look in her eyes and said.
"Commander. What on earth is this incredible sword? I heard you went to the relic storage yesterday. Did you get it there?"
"Hmm, that's right. Isn't it really cool? You can touch it if you want."
"It's… not so much that it's cool as it is that it's a bit burdensome. I'm a little curious about how it feels."
"Please handle it carefully."
Agnes swallowed and gently ran her small hand over the blade.
"Indeed… this is a masterpiece. It's not just big, it's well-balanced, and it's a great sword made of good materials."
"As expected of you. You have an eye for it."
Agnes, who is also a great warrior, seemed to be able to properly recognize the value of this guy, so I'm very happy.
—Glance
However, her gaze was secretly lingering on my lower body as she ran the blade.
"Yes. It's very, very big… and manly…"
She also blushed as she muttered something that sounded strange. I sighed and scolded her.
"Agnes. What the hell is going on in your head?"
"It's all because of you, Captain. You've been so annoying lately…"
I shook my head and went up to the office with her.
"Yes, it's work time now. Try to refrain from talking and focus on your reports."
"Yes. Then…"
However, unlike usual, today's topic was quite sensitive.
