Against an attack from me, Amy takes her sword sideways.

I thought I stepped into it pretty hard, but it felt like I was hitting a tree.

……

Amy is staring at this face without making a particularly spicy expression. It appears to be confronting a much tougher opponent than Vince when he met with him before gaining a job.

Is this the essence of a superior position? Well, since my ability equivalent to healing magic resides in the flesh, it's no wonder I'm as strong as it should be.

Take a step back and reposition your sword.

It's time for Amy to attack again.

The movement itself is unchanged, but the speed of movement associated with increased muscle strength is troublesome.

I've been fighting Amy a few times in advance, so I know where the attack is coming from, but I'm not sure I'll be able to avoid it for the first time.

Still... it's going to be so much more powerful, even with the same technology.

But Amy and I used to feel the same way in a mock fight.

But I've never heard such a stupid thing from her.

Well then, if I don't want to surpass Amy without crying, it's going to be inequality.

Meetings, avoidance.

Every time I breathe, I use healing magic on myself without chanting. Combined healing magic can also remove physical fatigue.

I haven't used Emmy once, but I don't see any butter at all. You're not tired of a mock fight with me anymore. That's my health.

But it's worth fighting for.

Next, Amy shook the wooden sword from the side with her torso shot several times.

Carefully circumvented it, stepped into the shaved area, and this time I sticked out my sword like I was poking Amy in the trunk.

I thought the timing and speed were pretty good.

If you hurt yourself, you'll have to recover.

Even the speed was visible to Amy today, who is a knight of the Holy Knight and a knight of the night.

Amy crouched and avoided my poke.

The judgment is brilliant, and the figure disappears from sight in a moment of quick action.

The next moment, my hand was in sharp pain, and my wooden sword was knocked to the wall of the orphanage.

Small hands, cut off with one hand.

An impeccable blow with timing and power.

It was a complete defeat.

"Amazing, Emily. I lost. Strong--"

"I see...."

"--What's wrong?

Amy began to burst into tears.

"Weak, weak... I'm weak after all...! I can't believe I'm struggling to get this kind of job and see all the attacks...! After all, Russell is amazing... I'm trying so hard... but I'm just becoming a [Holy Knight] and I'm so strong..."

"Amy...."

... I never thought about the possibility of caring because I was originally a kind guy.

Especially if you don't like your profession (job) more than you did at first.

But... yes, how much did you lose for exceeding my abilities...?

Absolutely. Amy and Janet, they're all too good.

I could be more proud of my abilities.

I come closer to Emmy, who leans and weeps, and I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Ah...."

"Never mind. I've healed my fatigue with healing magic while I was meeting you. Besides, if you're an enemy, Amy's on your side. For me, I think it was worth a long meeting."

"... Russell, I guess..."

"Of course. If you had nothing but power, I'd know it was the end of the first blow to the head. Still, I've dealt with it many times because Amy remembered my movements in battle with me and she got used to the sword. But still."

I look at Janet from the corner of the building.

I retracted with a moment of surprise, but I waved a little to Janet, who was about to stretch out his neck.

"If you think you're weak, could you be stronger? That's how easy it is for me as a magician. Janet taught me how to grow my skills, and I wasn't working alone."

Use healing magic and healing magic on Emily after wiping her tears.

I still rinse my nose, but it looks like I'm back to my old Emily.

"Me and you are a party. You two should be strong, right?

"Party....."

"Yes, not so much a heroic party with expectations, but a shadow Demon King Crusader with an edge in a strange goddess. It's a bit unusual, but no matter how strong it is, it won't be bad, will it?

Smile lightly as you shrug your shoulders like browning.

Emmy finally smiled at me and nodded with a look like her shoulder had fallen.

"Yeah, I'm getting stronger. More than Russell, more than Vince, more than the Devil."

Did you say something awesome? If you're stronger than a brave man, Emily will be the star.

But it's also true that Amy feels like she could do it now.

I'll go get the wooden sword with the expectation that I'll really depend on him for such a familiar growth.

"Do you want to do a little more?

Yeah!

"Janet, not only are you watching, but you can come over here and tell me."

"Eh!?

As Emily looked back, she finally realized what Janet was seeing.

Amy scratches her head as she blushes at what her conversation was being heard.

"Wow, even if you say so...."

"It was hard to get out. But I see... Amy chose a mock battle against Russell with her current powers..."

Janet dressed up like he thought a little, shook his head immediately and came towards us.

Please, my teacher and childhood friend.

I'm sure I'll be stronger than when I was alone.

Amy is the only one who can make it happen.

Me and Amy met in the back of the orphanage with the wooden sword until lunch was ready.

As usual... but with the childhood familiarity, who has become a completely different strength.
