Successors of all mankind

"Please, please allow me to remain like this for now, Master."

Nobles tend to choose female guardian knights for themselves.

Chapter 63 Su Qing (3k)

Yu Le froze completely in the water.

The aroma of hot water and rose petals still enveloped him, but in that instant, he felt as if a pause button had been pressed.

The brain...where is the brain again? It seems to have floated up to the ceiling.

He slowly turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and then turned back to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

The knight lady was indeed kneeling on the edge of the bathtub, wrapped in a white bath towel, her hair still damp, as if she had just taken a quick shower.

Her expression was serious, and she tried to appear as if everything was normal, but the suspicious blush around her ears betrayed her.

"Excuse me," Yu Le sank deeper into the water, leaving only his shoulders and above visible, "What does this mean?"

"It is my responsibility, Master..."

The knight lady spoke with conviction, but her voice was noticeably soft. She knew it was her duty, and she didn't oppose pleasure, but she had never seen another man bathe.

"Moreover, this is also a tradition of nobles and knights."

"Whose tradition?"

“Aristocratic tradition.”

"...Have you always been like this?"

"Yes, Master, that's why nobles prefer to choose women as their knights. Because it makes many things seem reasonable and not awkward, like, like now."

The knight lady continued to answer, but her voice grew softer and softer.

Following her voice, Yu Le almost completely sank into the water.

The fantasy of light novels has become reality, which should be wonderful.

However, entertainment is struggling to keep up.

Everyone fantasizes about being chosen by a rich and beautiful woman, but when it actually happens to them, many people may not know how to react.

“You don’t have to do that,” Yu Le said, trying to sound less like he was holding his breath underwater. “I mean, you can relax a bit. You don’t have to treat me like some kind of nobleman. Besides… this setting isn’t really appropriate.”

The knight lady looked up.

The beautiful lake blue stubbornly stared at its lord.

“Master, I am your guardian knight.”

“I swore an oath. Wherever you are, I will be there. If you are in danger, I will stand in front of you. When you don’t need me, I will retreat to a place where you can’t see me.”

"So I should be here now, just in case anything happens to you..."

However, in the end, the sound that had just risen gradually faded away.

At least in this respect, she was a typical sheltered young lady.

"What kind of accident could happen to me?" Yu Le said, both amused and exasperated. "Slip? Drown?"

"I can't expect a dragon to suddenly fly down from the sky and kidnap me, can I? Serena, this is Robespierre's estate, it's safe, there's no need to force yourself!"

The knight lady's lips moved, clearly choked.

She may not have considered what specific accidents might occur, but she insists that her logic is correct.

The standoff lasted for about five seconds.

The knight lady slowly turned around, leaving Yu Le with an even more blush-inducing back view.

"I should stay with you, but Master, please allow me to stay here for now. I'm still not quite used to it. And, I absolutely must be by your side!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Le couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask, Serena, just how broad is this 'must be by my side'?"

"You sleep, you eat, you travel, you bathe, and... and even when you're having sex..."

Does that mean they will never leave?

"Excuse me, Serena, isn't this too broad?"

"That's why, sir, nobles tend to choose women as their knights."

Because that way there won't be any embarrassing issues, and it will add more fun for yourself.

The noblewoman guards were both fierce protectors and intimate partners.

'Damn, these nobles really know how to enjoy themselves!'

Yu Le turned his head and soaked in the water.

But could you please not be so shy...?

Didn't you suggest coming in yourself, Miss Serena?

You've made me feel really awkward!

Yu Le has finally found a place where he feels extremely embarrassed, which should be the perfect treatment of a light novel protagonist.

However, the knight lady was just too shy.

At first it was just a matter of hearing, but now, even from behind, Yu Le looks like a cooked shrimp.

It's all red!

Yu Le rubbed his eyes and said:

“Well then, Miss Serena, there’s a place to wash up over there, and there are curtains too. You can wait for me there.”

“That way, even if…” Yu Le turned to look at the lake-like bath, shrugged with relief, “even if I’m about to drown, or if a dragon suddenly comes to take me away, you’ll still have time to snatch me back.”

Even Yu Le himself finds this absurd when he talks about it.

After a two-second silence, the female knight nodded solemnly.

She got up and walked behind the floor-length gauze curtains on the side of the bathtub, and sat down properly. The gauze curtains let in light, revealing a blurry outline, but at least they blocked the view.

Yu Le let out a long sigh.

The water temperature was just right, and the fragrance of the petals was very faint. He leaned back against the edge of the pool and finally felt the first real relaxation he had experienced in days.

And even though you can only see the shadow, it's still beautiful enough.

Indeed, beautiful women are always pleasing to the eye.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard the knight's voice coming from behind the gauze curtain:

"Owner?"

"Ok?"

"Thank you, and I will definitely work hard!"

"Ah, um..."

Enjoy the fun without expecting anything in return.

However, the knight then said:

"Master, there is one more thing."

"Ah, I know, I believe you will try your best, but don't push yourself too hard, really. I am not the aristocrat you think I am."

Yu Le thought that was what she was going to say, but the next moment, he heard the sound of metal colliding and armor plates rubbing together.

After Salamander completely sealed the knight inside her body.

He walked up to Yu Le.

“My lord, I have deprived Serena Windsor of her senses, so I have something to tell you.”

Looking at the Salamander in front of him, Yu Le almost forgot that it was also an AI.

"Oh, of course, but can I ask you something first? I've been curious about it for a long time."

"Of course, sir."

Yu Le pointed to what appeared to be a weapon on its body and said:

“Pandora told me that this world is home, so there are no dangerous military AIs, but you, you don’t look like Pandora or the Great Library at all.”

"So, you're not a military model?"

Because this is humanity's home world, there is no military AI here for political purposes.

But Salamander, both in its appearance and in the descriptions of it that Yule sees.

Yu Le doesn't think this thing is for civilian use.

Salamander's nails opened and closed slightly, like a warrior adjusting his clothes when asked about his past.

"Because I am indeed not a military type, I do not possess military-grade interstellar strike capabilities. However, I do possess a level of weaponry that other AIs rarely have."

"Because I developed the gladiator AI for entertainment and viewing."

"Gladiator fight?"

Yu Le thought of Spartacus.

That was perhaps the most famous gladiator, Rome's glory, and also Rome's wound.

"Yes, gladiator fighting was very popular in that era. I was designed for spectator combat, where the primary standard for all actions was 'looking good,' with the win rate being secondary."

"The firepower I possess is all in service of this."

Having thoroughly understood the meaning of the music, he then pointed to it and said:

"So, in that era, people would drive you to fight other drivers in the arena?"

Unexpectedly, Salamander rejected the idea of ​​using music again:

“No, sir, gladiators are dangerous and adversarial, and the Nor government does not allow people to participate in the arena themselves. Therefore, there will be no two humans fighting each other.”

"But you seem to have been designed to be driven. If people don't allow you to be driven, then what's the point?"

Yu Le clearly remembered that the knight lady was driving it when the slave Nor came to the rescue.

Even now, the knight lady is inside it.

As she spoke, Yu Le looked in astonishment at its core, where the knight lady was, and said:

"Is this how they were born?"

"No, although it is very close, sir, no. These aliens are not human creations. At least that's the case in our last records."

"Then why is there a cockpit?"

After saying that, Yu Le suddenly looked in the direction of what should be Valinno.

The arbiter had said that the spirits could be trusted, and Pandora had also told her that the so-called dragons were simply genetically engineered creations of humans.

So what was the purpose of creating spirits that should be like dragons?

"Elves?"

"Yes, that is one of the purposes for which creatures called elves were created."

Is that really how it is?

Yu Le leaned against the edge of the bathtub in disbelief, and then asked:

"So, what brings you here?"

Salamander looked at Yu Le's wrist, where the ever-silent Pandora was.

"You have now achieved initial stability, and I have completed the bridging analysis of the Grand Library. Sir, I can replace this malfunctioning teaching assistant AI at any time and connect with the Grand Library."

"Therefore, I beg you to allow me to destroy it!"

Salamander slowly approached Pandora.

"Regardless of its purpose or whether it is permitted by the program, I believe that deceiving humanity in such a dangerous situation is unacceptable."

"This is betrayal, sir. I beg you, allow me to destroy it!"
