Episode 7

**The Horrible Lieutenant of the Knights Brigade** is the seventh episode of the Reincarnated as a Sword anime series.

## Summary

The pompous and pretentious knight who barged into Klimt's office and confronted Fran introduced himself as August Allsand, Lieutenant of the Alessa Knights Brigade. Fran and Teacher recall hearing August's name from Nell before, and August then gloats about having a skill that detects lies. Teacher casts **Identify** on August and gets a vocal description of his special skill **Essense of Falsehood**. Its description makes Teacher believe that August exploits his ability to his corrupt whims. Despite August's plea to handle Fran for lying to him, Klimt formally rejects it, noting Fran's accomplishment by slaying a Greater Demon. Furthermore, August's demand to take the monster's crystals and materials is rejected too, siting how his knights didn't partake in the dungeon subjugation. Although August argues the provided information was vague and disparaged the adventurers there, Klimt rebukes August's comments and claims. He also opines how strange it was that Captain Urs rejected his request for assistance with the subjugation and believed that August decided for him.

As the argument continues between Klimt and August, Fran tries to mediate the situation by offering her Goblin materials, which is swiped away by the disgusted August. Motivated by rage, Fran suggests stabbing August, but is stopped by Teacher, who suggests giving a test run of their newly acquired **Skill Taker** on August. Fran agrees, and they steal August's **Essense of Falsehood** along with **Noble Etiquette**. Now unable to detect lies and act appropriately, August leaves the office as Nell enters. Klimt apologizes for August's rude display and explains his distasteful backstory. After this, Klimt announces to Fran that she's been promoted to D Rank. An elated Fran thanks Klimt with a polite curtsey stemming from her **Noble Etiquette** skill.

Later, Fran formally receives her new rank and rewards from Nell at the receptionist desk. She's then congratulated by the Dwarf adventurer Elevent and the other adventurers there. For their help and contributions toward the dungeon subjugation quest, Fran treats them all to drinks as thanks. Following their celebration at the guild, Fran falls asleep in her room while sleep-talking about curry, Teacher promised to make for her. Amused by the sleepy request, Teacher tucks her in and promises to make her some curry in the morning.

Teacher is shown dreaming involving three goddesses embathed in light who speak to him and display his sword body. Awakening from his dream, Teacher realizes that he doesn't dream anymore and finds it strange he did. Soon, Teacher teaches Fran how to cook by a riverbank using the ingredients purchased from Rufus' shop. They first make some hamburger steaks and put the finished ones into the **Pocket Dimension**. Then they make the main dish, curry, together, and the end result overjoyed Fran.

A week passes by, and in that time, Fran takes on various guild quests until her armor is completed by Garrus. On one late afternoon, Fran learns from the Alessa gatekeeper about Viscount Allsand, or the ignoble knight August was looking for Fran. The gatekeeper warns Fran to keep an eye out for any trouble she may encounter involving him, and Fran thanks him for the warning. While walking through the town streets, Teacher notifies Fran they're being tailed. Hence Fran leads the followers to an inconspicuous area where one of the people reveals themselves to be the now-sloven August, who Fran doesn't recognize or remember. Upset by this, August calls out his hired assassin Gyuran, a Blue Cat, the weaker sub-version of Fran's Black Cat heritage.
