Fifth Rule of Sun Knights: “Save up for Retirement to Avoid Impoverishment in One’s Old Age” – translated by Raylight

The northwest execution ground outside the city really is not just a normal distance away. In order to prevent myself from immediately lying down and joining the row of corpses after walking all the way there, I reluctantly decided to bear the pain of spending money to call a carriage to bring me there.

I could have returned to the Holy Temple and taken their public carriage instead, but then I would have to maintain the Sun Knight’s brilliant smile and perfect demeanor in front of the driver…

In my current feeble situation where I can’t even fully smile, I better bear with the grief and rent a carriage, using the retirement funds that I had been saving with great effort. After all, if I were to die now, then the retirement funds that I have been saving so painstakingly would be useless, right? Continued

Fourth Rule of Sun Knights: “One’s ability to recover has to be better than good” – translated by Erialis & Raylight

As a result of losing an entire street’s worth of blood, my three day long vacation was successfully extended to a week. I heard that Leaf was even going to help me get it extended to one month initially. Unfortunately, His Holiness the Pope seemed to have a mission for me to carry out, so the attempt failed. Sigh! Leaf, you really are a nice guy!

I poured soured milk into a basin filled with flour goop with one hand as my other hand stirred the goop using the sheath of the Divine Sun Sword. I really must say that the Divine Sun Sword’s sheath is full of amazing uses. As the sheath is almost completely made of gold, it’s guaranteed not to rust, regardless of whether it is used to stir this body mask mixture or to stir my apple wine.

Not only would the sheath not become dirty after stirring, it would shine brighter than ever if you wiped it with a cloth! Continued

Third Rule of Sun Knights: “Even in the Face of Death, One Must Die Gracefully” – translated by Erialis

I rushed onto the streets like a comet streaking across the skies. By this point, I no longer needed the knight-apprentice as a guide, for that towering aura of death was simply impossible to miss. I had never encountered such an intense aura of death in the city before…

(Don’t tell me that my request for a tougher undead creature has really been answered? That can’t be! I heard from my teacher that because the Church pays very little, the necromancer would, at the very most, only summon a zombie that’s missing various limbs for me to play with.) Continued

Second Rule of Sun Knights: “Gracefully, Leisurely, and Most Importantly, Fair-skinned” – translated by Erialis

As we had successfully accomplished our mission to persuade the king to stop raising taxes, Storm and I were both given a few days off work.

It might be, though, that the Pope just couldn’t bear to see Storm with his eyes swollen to the size of chicken eggs, obscuring his vision to the point that he was crashing into pillars as he walked… (Or perhaps he just didn’t want to see another pillar damaged – for the record, the pillars in the church are all ornately carved works of art and are terribly expensive.) …which was why he gave us a few days off.

First Rule of Sun Knights: “Maintain Your Smile at All Times” – translated by Erialis

I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Sun Knight of the Church of the God of Light.

The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and it is one of the three largest religions on this continent. But although it may only be ranked third in terms of size, if we’re talking in terms of history, then there is no other religious organization that can compare with the Church of the God of Light.

As everyone knows, the Church of the God of Light consists of the Holy Temple and the Sanctuary of Light, which are organized along militaristic and clerical lines respectively.

Naturally, I am a knight of the Holy Temple, of which the twelve captains of the holy knights are a part, and whose positions are passed down through the generations. Since ancient times, each captain of the holy knights has led a company of knights. For example, I am the Sun Knight, so I should be leading the Sun Knight Company. Continued
