"She was a natural strength, and she could easily wield a knight's spear with one hand, which others had to use on a horse's gun carriage to flatten. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and raised his spear with both hands: "I can't, both hands are struggling." ”

"It doesn't matter how many hands you have. Catherine shook her head violently: "The point is how can you defend with a riding spear?"

"Can't you? Actually, you've already done that. Pannis casually picked up a one-handed sword: "This time it's your attack." ”

"It's really rare, you're actually willing to fight?" Catherine's eyes lit up, she threw the sword and shield in her hand aside, raised a two-handed heavy sword, and licked her lips: "Then I'm welcome." ”

Pannis looked at Catherine who was completely excited in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so fanatical about fighting, do you need to be so excited?"

"Of course you do. Do you think I like to be beaten? Every day I hold a shield is to be beaten, beaten, beaten, and now that I finally have the opportunity to attack, of course I am excited, ha, here I am. Catherine let out a joyful cheer, raised her two-handed sword in the air, and opened the attack with a standard slash.

Panis didn't block, didn't dodge, didn't parry, just the simplest - stab.

"Huh?" Catherine exclaimed in surprise, she found that Pannis's upward slash stabbed directly into the blade of the greatsword from the side, and the landing point was just the point of power of this attack, and a slash full of her own strength was easily swung away, without any effect.

"Come again, this time it's up to you what you do. Catherine was stunned, took two steps back, raised her two-handed sword horizontally and dragged it behind her back, shouted, exerted force at her waist, and slashed her two-handed sword half a circle with the strength of the sword body, and slashed horizontally from the height of Pannis's side waist. Pannith quickly took two steps forward to close the distance as she slashed her heavy sword, still in the same motion - stabbing. Catherine's sword was stabbed again as soon as half of the force point of the sword body was slashed, and this time the charged horizontal slash was directly strangled in the bud before it could be launched.

"And what about this?" Catherine's gaze became more eager, and she took a step back again, raising her heavy sword in front of her chest, turning sideways so that the tip of the sword was aimed at Pannis, and stabbing it hard at the waist. But almost exactly the same as before, Pannisy had already taken a few steps forward as she turned sideways, and when she was about to stab with a force, Pannis's sword had already caught the force of the stab on the gauntlet of the hilt of the heavy sword. But this time Catherine did not stop attacking, and turned the stab into a slash. Pannis didn't have time to close his sword to block, but he took a few steps back and just returned to the position he had originally occupied, allowing Catherine's attack to slash less than half a meter in front of him.

"Don't play anymore. Pannis smiled evilly and threw his sword aside, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and spread his hands in Catherine's dissatisfied eyes: "I'm not a guardian knight, so I'll do it a few times, and when I'm done with it, it's gone." ”

"No, it's definitely more than that. Catherine puffed up and said, "Come again." ”

"I really can't do anything else, but it's just an idea, it's okay to use a one-handed sword, it's okay to use a knight's gun, and it's okay to use a shield?" ”

Catherine paid no attention to Pannis's words, and just stood still, staring at the stone slab on the ground with unfocused eyes, completely immersed in thought.

――――――――――――――

"It smells so good. Catherine, dressed in civilian clothes, wiped her long wet hair with a bath towel as she walked to the table and sat down: "What are you eating today?"

"Onion mashed potatoes. Pannis, too, sat down at the table and lifted the lid from the plate.

"How?" Catherine scooped two large spoonfuls into her plate, "It doesn't smell like I did." ”

"How? Potatoes, boiled, patted into a puree. ”

"Don't say it. Catherine rolled her eyes and broke the bread and laid it on the plate, "All right, let's start eating." ”

"Not waiting for Vivien?" Pannis asked, "She can't even skip lunch." ”

"Don't wait for her. Catherine shook her head: "If she hadn't gotten up at this time, she would have slept until dinner." ”

"That's right. Pannis frowned and said, "Is this habit really good?"

"Shhhh Catherine put her index finger to her lips and gently shushed: "There are some things, don't ask, don't say." ”

"I see. Pannis nodded: "It seems to have something to do with her secret." ”

Catherine smiled and diverted the subject: "When will Lina come back?"

"I don't know. Pannis said: "She should be coaxing the child now, and then go back to the temple in the afternoon to help, today should be the time for their temple's free clinic, it is estimated that it will not be very early." ”

"What about you?" Catherine was very elegant when she ate, and every time she spoke, she had to put down the utensils and wipe her lips before speaking: "What are you going to do in the afternoon?"

"Sleep. Pannis looked out the window: "Such a good weather, if you don't go to a nap, I'm sorry for the sun god Huronte." ”

"Don't sleep. Catherine said very arrogantly: "I said that I should go out of the past and be my true self, and I will not be as decadent as I was in the past." ”

"But that's who I am. Pannis sighed, "My heart tells me that you should go to sleep at this time." You see, shouldn't I follow my heart in this situation?"

"Don't make excuses. Catherine interrupted Pannis's gibberish with a wave of her hand, "Come out with me in the afternoon." ”

"I'm going out again. Reluctantly, Pannis stirred the mashed potatoes on the plate and muttered, "Where are you going?"

"Shopping. ”

Pannis pressed his forehead and sighed, "Oh my God, are women born with this skill, no matter what profession she is?"

"What? do you have an opinion?" Catherine narrowed, waiting for Pannis with a dangerous gaze.

"No, I mean it's a great way to exercise while shopping. Pannis replied solemnly: "It should be vigorously promoted." ”

Catherine pursed her lips and chuckled, giving Pennis a blank look: "The main thing is to go to the guild to see if there are any tasks." ”

"Just came back and ready to take on a new mission?" Pannis wondered, "Don't you need to take a break?"

"You don't have to take it, when I'm at home, I'm used to going to the guild every day to see the task, maybe I can come across a task that is more suitable, after all, a good task always depends on grabbing. Catherine explained: "Even if you actually take on the task, you will take on some small tasks with relatively low difficulty, and whoever has time will easily complete them and earn some money." ”

"Okay, okay. Pannis reluctantly agreed: "Do you want to leave after eating?"

"Don't worry, I still have 800 shield-raising exercises left, and I'll go back when I'm done taking a shower. Catherine said.

"Great. Pannis quickly finished the rest of the food: "I just happened to go for a nap and call me when I set off." ”

"Forget it. Catherine said hatefully as she saw Pannisy leap out like a rabbit, as if she was going to get a little more sleep every minute.

――――――――――――――

Going out with Catherine is not the same as going out with Lina. When I went out with Lina, when I met a nearby acquaintance, the other party greeted me just cordially, as if I saw an ordinary girl next door, but when I went out with Catherine and met an acquaintance to say hello, there was a little more heartfelt respect in the other party's cordiality, which obviously had a lot to do with the knight girl implementing the knightly virtues into every move of daily life.

"Good afternoon, Miss Catherine, I'm going to the Adventurers' Guild again. The middle-aged owner of the roadside grocery store greeted him warmly.

"Hello Mr. Leon. Even in the face of the most ordinary small merchants, Catherine's chivalric salute is still meticulous: "I have formed a habit, and it is uncomfortable not to visit the guild for a day." ”

"Haha, you're working so hard. The middle-aged shopkeeper touched the top of his half-bald and shiny head and said, "If my family's Linda has half your efforts, I won't have to worry about it." ”

"Linda actually works hard, too. Catherine nodded affirmatively: "I heard some time ago that the teachers in their school think that she has the strength to be promoted to the Black Iron Rank and become a professional, which is the result of her efforts." ”

Listening to Catherine's words, the bald head on the top of the middle-aged shopkeeper's head became brighter, and the proud smile on his face could not be stopped.

Similar conversations were repeated along the way, until they were far away from Fox Street, and they could occasionally meet familiar passers-by.

"It's very popular. Pannis shook his head and commented: "It deserves to be the most respected profession, and I usually have a lot of kindness to them, right?"

"Your tone is abnormal. Catherine squinted at Pannis: "And as a knight, it is a basic morality to lend a helping hand to those in need, not a kind heart. ”

As they spoke, the two stepped onto an alley. On both sides of the alley are scattered vendors, and the items on the stalls are obviously the products of the farmers in the nearby villages, mainly vegetables and fruits, and occasionally a few stalls selling processed foods such as bread, ale wine, and bacon. Compared with the shops in the outer business district, the goods in the alleys are not comprehensive, and the appearance is very different from the shops, but it is cheaper, so many local residents will come here to pick up food, and the alleys are very lively every afternoon.

The moment Catherine stepped into the alley, the lively atmosphere in the alley suddenly changed. The originally noisy shouting and bargaining voices quickly decreased from near to far, and finally disappeared. When Catherine's gaze turned, the vendors in that direction would quickly lower their heads to avoid Catherine's gaze, and even a few vendors directly packed up their things and left quickly when Catherine looked over.

"What's going on?" asked Pannis, feeling that he didn't have enough brains.

"Hehe, hehe. Catherine laughed dryly, said nothing, and walked through the quiet alley with her head held high and a serious face, until her figure disappeared around the corner at the end of the alley, and the alley resumed its original bustle and bustle.
