The seasons went three times, and me and Finn were ten years old.

As usual, living in an orphanage is a repetition of the studies necessary to live, the agricultural work to eat rice, and the practice of the sword, which is the only pleasure.

My body, which was thin with snacks, soon overtook Fine's height and began to gain muscle, thanks to the delicious food of Professor Feria.

But as always, I wasn't good at doing things with people other than Finn.

Haaaa!

"Grrr! I can't see!"

The slash I unleashed jumped up Finn's wooden sword.

The meeting, which is my daily routine every morning, ended with my victory today.

Recently, only about 10 of them have lost to Finn.

"I feel like my sword is swinging faster again..."

"I guess...? I think it's because Dr. Feria has entered the [Growth Period] and his body is getting bigger." The wooden sword was a little heavy, so I thought it might have been too late. "

"No, it's obviously earlier than a few months ago."

The wooden sword you're using adjusts the weight you feel comfortable with as your body grows.

Finn said he wasn't sure how he felt, so he looked at his body and I adjusted the weight of his wooden sword.

The graduate adventurer had already told me that he had nothing to teach me, and Finn and I had been training together for a long time.

"Alfine's sword arm is amazing." No matter how much I practice, I can't keep up. I have to work harder. "

"No, my arm is going up because of Finn." If it's another child, I won't be the opponent. "

When the adventurers of the graduates come back, they will practice swordsmanship, but there is no other child besides Finn who will be my opponent.

Because everyone's arms are too low for a close match.

And the older sons refrain from doing with me, which is a woman.

It seems that it is because I am embarrassed if I lose.

That's why Finn has always been my practitioner.

"Finn, you lost with your sword to a woman today." But you're still a man. "

The five-year-old boy who had been harassing us for a long time was the one who called out to us while we were practicing.

This year, she refrained from graduating from the orphanage and decided to go out to the capital and become an adventurer.

Because of their very good physique and strength, they are taking the orphanage boys and spreading their prestige.

A boy named L'Oréal, whom I hate the most, who has hurt himself by hitting Fine before.

I usually try not to get involved as much as possible, but sometimes I make trouble.

Dean Danton and Professor Feria will not change their attitude by scolding him in the wind.

"The strong one wins. That's swordsmanship, Mr. L'Oreal."

"Huh, the strong man wins the sword technique." Fine is persuasive when it comes to losing to a woman. Haha! ”

L'Oréal, who had taken the older boys, hated Fein, who had disobeyed him ever since he was a little boy, and he pushed Fein against something.

It seems that I am likewise disliked when I am with you all the time, and because I can constantly turn my gaze, I am a person with a strong sense of dislike.

"I'll graduate next month, too." Come on, I'll cum if I don't think I need to see your clear face. "

I see. Congratulations on graduating.

Fine remained calm and did not take the other's provocation, returning the words to celebrate her graduation with a quiet voice.

"I don't like that attitude!" You look down on me like I'm weak! I'll show you the difference! Hey, you too! "

L'Oréal was furious with Finn's attitude and pulled out the wooden sword that was sitting on her waist.

"No, I won't do it with L'Oréal." I promised Dean Danton and Mr. Feria that I would only practice with Alfine. "

There is too much difference between us, so it should have been a well-known fact in the orphanage that Dean Danton and Professor Feria called it preventing injuries and forbade them from practicing swordsmanship with other children.

Breaking it down, L'Oréal challenged Finn to practice.

"Shut up, you don't listen to me!" Hold on! Don't be such a coward to lose to a woman! "

"I won't. If you don't keep your promise, I won't be able to practice swordsmanship!"

"Shit! Shit! If you can't stand it, I'll punch you in!"

L'Oréal, holding the wooden sword, swung it down at Fine.

"Don't avoid it!" You guys, hold Finn back! "

The boys who were hiding somewhere jumped out, followed L'Oréal's instructions, and pinned Finn down so he couldn't move.

I'm sorry, Finn. If we don't do this, L'Oréal will beat us up.

"Please don't!" This is cowardly, isn't it? "

"You may be cowardly, but you can win." Strong wins, doesn't it? Swordsmanship. Oh, yes! Keep that woman down, too. You can't even get stung by a bitch and a baba. "

And L'Oréal, who laughed, said, A boy appeared from behind, and suppressed my arm.

"Alfine! Stop it, L'Oréal! Alfine has nothing to do with it!"

"Ahhn, it's probably 'Mr. L'Oreal'!" Watch your mouth! Son of a bitch! "

L'Oréal's wooden sword, which he swung down with all his might, struck Finn's shoulder and sounded dull.

Guuuu!

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

"Shut up!" Alfine, you don't like it either. I'm so praised for being so good with my sword in a woman's habit! A woman needs to be a woman! Or do you want to say that you're different, that you're special! "

The gaze from L'Oréal turned to the scornful eyes that appeared in that dream that should have gone unnoticed at some point.

"You're not like us, are you?" The voice that was supposed to be inaudible also sounded in my head.

I'm terrified, my whole body is trembling, and my tears are overflowing forever.

With words I should have forgotten, I was turning back to a time when I was frightened to hide behind Finn.

In the meantime, Finn was beaten from face to body with the L'Oréal wooden sword, and the swollen face torn his skin and bled out.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Don't tease Finn! "

"Shut up, shut up!"

It seemed that my voice was disturbed, and L'Oréal's violence increased in intensity.

If we keep this up, Finn's gonna die. You're gonna die!

I don't want to think that Finn, who has always told me that he will protect me, is no longer in this world!

Oh, I don't like that. I definitely don't. No, no, no!

"I hate it!! Nooooo!!"

As soon as I thought about the world without Finn, my body instinctively began to move, as if something that had tied me up was cut off.

"Hey, what the hell!" You idiot! You're lying! "

When I forced out the boy who was holding my arm, I pulled out the wooden sword that was pointed at my waist.

Without a voice, he rushed over to the boys who were holding Finn down, and he slammed his back with a wooden sword and fell to the ground.

”Higiiiiiiiis!”

"Stop! Don't wave your wooden sword at people!"

He pushed his knees to the ground and silently punched through the temples of the boys who said the excuse, stunning them. He stopped Fine, who was unconscious, and laid her on the ground.

"Hey, Alfine, you know what you're doing!" Give a man a sword-- "

"Shut up! Shut up!"

L'Oréal raises what he has done on the shelf and bombards me with my actions.

The boiling inner rage swept over the sword and slashed all over L'Oréal's body.

"Ah, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-O

Too many steps were taken, and L'Oréal's massive body, which had been slashed, floated in the air.

"I can't, I can't, I can't. No, no, no, no."

Anger accelerated the speed of the sword even faster.

It was Fine's unconscious hand that stopped my unstoppable slashing.

"Alfine, that's enough. That's enough." You can't do any more than that. Absolutely not. That's enough... "

Fein fainted as he tried to hold me from behind.

When I recover myself with Finn's words, I abandon the wooden sword and embrace the stunned Finn.

"Finn! Finn, don't die! Don't leave me alone! Please!"

"Hey, hey, no good, this." L'Oréal is definitely dead. "

"Dean, let's get the doctors."

The boys who were restraining me saw the tragedy and ran toward the director's office with a pale face.
