Greyder Chapter 05

   Extra : The Knight Greyder and The Female Commander Part 5

「Good afternoon」

　The doorbell rang so I opened the door、and there is he。

「……Yes、good afternoon……？」

　At my front door、I saw the bouquet of red roses that was handed to me、then I looked up to the good looking ikemen。

　I didn’t enter the knight dormitory、instead I rent a small house and living by myself。And I employed a woman for doing the housework。As expected it’s difficult to balance the duties of knight Commander and housework、both physically and mentally。

　And then、since today’s my day off、I only wore some light clothes such as rough shirt and pants。On the other hand、the man in front of me、wearing a tight jacket over his shirt and tied his tie tightly。I wonder if you planned to go somewhere？

「Eeto……next Commander Greyder、what about this flowers？　And what do you want to do？」

「Yes、by observing Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono this whole day、I thought that I want to improve some of my abilities that I currently lacked」

　So stiff！

「Is、is that so、to overcome your weak point。It’s a splendid dedication as a knight、un。So、have you thought about what you want to learn from me this whole day」

「A way of being a person」

　The scale’s huge。

　It makes me want to hold my head。

　I’m sorry but this Sheryl・Feidan、isn’t that noble also。See、I just put the cup that I used earlier in the sink without washing it。I decided to leave it for later because it’s troublesome and that’s the sign of my mind’s weakness。

　However、next Commander Greyder said this with a serious face。

「The General said、don’t think、just feel！　Was the advice that I received。And so、I thought that first of all I would like to spend some time by being near Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono。I realized that it may be a nuisance since today is your day off、but by all means I would like to ask for your guidance for this young man who will become the Third Knight Commander in the future」

「Soーstiff！　Even though finally it’s my rare day off、why do I need to have this kind of serious subordinate’s talk！」

　I shouted。

「However、I seriously respecting Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono、so by all means I could not be rude to you」

「Yosh、let’s sort this out！　Next Commander Greyder、I understood your purpose for the time being。So、what’s the problem with that flowers？」

「When you visiting a young lady’s house、is it not a common sense to bring flowers with you？」

　Ikemen with a bouquet of roses、and startled face。

　Well、it’s not wrong。

　Even though it’s not wrong、but why there was this strange feeling that filled up inside？

「……Young lady、ne。For sure I’m a Baron’s daughter but。Oo、speaking of it、this is the first time I got flowers from a man」

　Seems like that was the cause of my discomfort！

「This is just my feeling。But I imagined the image of Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono、so I choose this flower at the flower shop」

「My image……aa、because of my red hair」

　I laughed as I entwined my hair that I let loose on my back with my finger。

「Un、sure it’s the same color。Bright red right？　I like it」

　Next Commander Greyder said「Yes、I think that it is a very magnificent red」 and nodded powerfully。

「However、it is not only that。Although it is a gorgeous large flower、it also look beautiful when it raised its head with dignity、with the charm that attract people’s hearts、and the firm thorns that protect its innocent。But I thought that Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono was more than this flower」

「Na、o、i、」

　I uttered voice that can’t be called as word。

　I never ever thought that this stubborn knight can said that kind of words、it’s so unexpected that I become flustered。

　I looked up to him with a stern face、yet the next Commander Greyder only staring at me with his blue eyes and serious look and said「You are more attractive than the roses」as he pressed the bouquet into me。

「……Next Commander Greyder！」

「What is it？」

「To whom do you think you said that……No、it’s fine、thank you、un。Let’s us drink tea and calm down。After that、let’s decide which direction we’ll take for this matter」

「Yes、for Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono to treat me tea、I am felling really grateful！」

「First we need to do something about how you talk」

　I took the bouquet、and invited Greyder to come in。

　I put the bouquet of rose to the pot that just happened to be there、and served tea for the next Commander Greyder。He said some gratitude「I am sorry for the trouble！」as powerful as like when he salute、and he drank the tea in a beautiful manner。Looks like he properly learned how to behave as a noble、as expected of him。

「……Is something wrong？」

「No。You、how old are you now？」

「I am 24 years old」

「Oya、same age as me then。You don’t have to speak so politely like that。I’m temporarily in the position as your superior、but we’re also knight comrade right」

「Comrade……is it」

「Yes。If you got promotion ahead of me、do you want me to speak to you like this『Superior Officer Greyder-dono、do you wish for a refill of tea？』？」

「……No、that is」

「You sure be confused right。That’s why、why don’t you talk more informally？」

「I under……understood、Third Knight Commander Sheryl-dono」

「Just Sheryl、is okay」

「That is ridiculous、to called a young lady’s name so lightly like that、hot」

　Greyder who stood up in a hurry with red face、spilled some of his tea and seems like he caught it a little。

「Are you alright？　Wipe it with this」

　I handed over the towel、and the ikemen red-faced knight wiped his clothes which was wet because of the tea。

「Thank you so much、She、She、well、Commander！」

　Well、I think it’s okay because Commander is much more shorter。

「Nee、Greyder」

「Wha、what is it」

「I don’t think it’ll help、with just sit here、and looking at each other’s face all day long、so why don’t we go out to the town together？」

　This house is small after all、so it’ll be a little annoying、to always stay here with this big muscular knight。

「I thought that it was a very nice suggestion！」

　Greyder stood up suddenly、he quickly took the cups on the table to the sink、and washed it。

「……What is it？」

　Even in his knights’ life、seems like he still do some housework、I thought as I watched how briskly he moved、so Greyder asked me。

「Un。Just thought that、you’re going to be a good bride。I wanted you for a moment」

Greyder’s cheeks got dyed、he shifted his eyes as if he was embarrassed and muttered 「I am extremely and humbly delighted」。
