Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Right now, I was coming to a place like the Colosseum that was in the history textbook.

I mean, I'm in the arena now.

From now on, it's time for fate.

"Ready? Did I forget to equip you with something?

That said, it's Mr. Gert who's carefully checking my gear.

You don't look like a bad guy at all for taking good care of this guy to say he's done bad things and fled the empire...

"It's okay. Mr. Gert's sword and armor are well equipped."

"Yes, it's fine. If you're Lord Kite now, you can afford it. Don't be nervous, relax and try."

Opposite Mr. Gert, who is softer than me, Mr. Aaron gave me one last encouragement to calm me down.

No - really, I can't get my head up on this guy.

"Yes, I will try calmly, believing in my previous practice"

And...

"Kite......"

The remaining Elaine was less energetic than anyone else.

"It's okay. I'll try my best. If you win, praise me, okay?

That's what I said, I gave you a gentle hug.

Half to cheer up Elaine, but half to have Elaine Power divided before the battle.

"Absolutely. If I win, I'll do anything for you! So, but... don't push me, okay? Win all that. Win. Tell me. Funny story... you don't have to win anything else. Because I know you're strong. So don't get hurt or anything that I can't fix."

Oh Elaine is too cute......

"Of course I'm going to win unharmed. Well, I'll look forward to your reward when I get back."

The last time I hugged her, I headed into battle.

"You look like the main character, as always. Still, Princess Gem really doesn't have a twist on Kate."

"As much as Lord Kite has grown, so has the princess."

When I entered the arena, Holst was waiting for me first.

"A year, two months, and seven days after you cut the hook. We had a longer time than the original year, so we won't admit excuses, will we?

You remember even such a fine date... you're a fine man besides.

"Yeah. Right."

"That outfit...... are you seriously going to fight?

Holst looked at me from top to bottom and asked me that question.

What is that question? Is this an operation to cut my motivation?

"Yeah, but? Conversely, isn't Holst going to fight?

"No, I don't run or hide. What I'm trying to say is, if you want to abstain, it's within the moment. Expose yourself to incompetence as this king and people watch. I'm sorry about the big injury, okay?

What the hell. In the end, I just want to say I'm strong.

"Ha... you want to have a talk fight? The king is waiting, and let's get started."

That's what I told Holst as I looked out for the king watching in the privileged seat.

"I told you!? I don't care what happens to you!

"Hi. Hi."

It's already a hassle, attack from me.

I used electrical magic to storm Holst on a fast trip.

"Kuh!"

"Yeah...... even though you're slower than Mr. Aaron, I knew you were still less proficient. If I was going to, I was going to take it down with this blow."

I succeeded in blowing it up, but I did little damage because of my critical and defensive defenses.

The longer I prolong it, the less magic I have and the less foundation I have, the more disadvantageous I get...

"I will kill you! I will kill you!

What... were you so weak?

"I exposed such anger... my sword is monotonous, right?

If you are the kind of person who will be Kensei, you will never explode your emotions to this extent.

At least, Mr. Aaron would remain scary and faceless!

"Kill. You're weaker than me. I'm absolutely weak!

"Chill your head once"

I deliberately took Holst's attack with my sword, passing on the sword and flowing current to Holst.

He's wearing metal armor, so he's got a full body, right?

"Yeah. Is that it?

Watching Holst fall, I broke the line.

It was better immature than Holst thought.

Because if you were a proper sword saint candidate, you wouldn't have won.

That's what I thought...

"... Roosu"

Holst stood up.

I thought...... I was already in front of you.

"Ugh!

I panicked and tried to get a distance.

But... I couldn't make it.

"Kill"

A massacre by a concentrated horst hit me straight in the chest.

"KATE!!!!"

"No... just. I'm not gonna get killed."

That's what I replied to Elaine screaming from somewhere as I stuck my sword in the ground to keep her from falling.

Thanks to Mr. Gert's armor, fatal injuries were spared.

This doesn't give you the original performance, or the real Mr. Gert is amazing.

"Yeah. The bleeding looks bad... but we can still fight it"

"Die!"

As soon as I put it back together, Horst's attack flew.

Yeah. I knew you were a Kensei candidate even if you rot... faster than my limit.

"Chip!"

"But I can cross the limit."

While taking Holst's sword, I activated the electrical magic again.

With me now, I don't have a minute to use a breakthrough.

I'll lose if I don't make up my mind in this moment.

Then I started the attack at full speed.

Attack, attack, attack.

Doesn't give Holst a counter-attack gap.

The moment the sword hits Holst's sword, the armor, my win decides.

Conversely, if you avoid it for a minute, Holst wins.

Such a battle began.

The sharpened holst avoids all attacks of my whole body in millimeters.

Shit! Almost there. What do we do? If we stay like this, we lose!

Was it from such a hurry... because the desire to strike again preceded me... I was unconsciously flying a chunk of electricity at the hoist.

Even when it hit, the power of the degree of static electricity, such tiny magic hit Holst.

The moment I hit him, Holst's movements stopped.

My body reacted to an unexpected shock, even if it was small.

And my sword was placed on Holst's neck.

"Kill me! Shame on you!

"I don't like it. What are you going to do with fewer people when you say it's going to be war? And... I'm the limit, too."

The effect of breaking the limit has expired, and I've lost consciousness.

"Yeah...... where am I?

When I woke up, there was a ceiling I was already used to seeing in the past year.

Am I not once in the arena?

"This is your bedroom. I've been asleep all day with the side effects of breaking the limits."

"Ah, Elaine. Side effects of breaking the limits...... so that means I won, right?

Good. Looks like it wasn't my dream to win.

"Yeah. It was critical, but we won. Mathius said it wasn't an overwhelming difference, and I followed him, but I lightly wore it."

"Boulder Elaine. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Ha..."

"What? Was there anything to sigh on?

"I'm glad you kept your promise to Elaine for one second."

Promise you'll be strong in a year, it's good to be able to keep it right.

"At that time... I'm sorry. I would have been confused if they'd just brought me here, and I said something so unsolicited."

"Well, I was hurt then. But at the same time, you wanted to be recognized by Elaine. Thanks to Elaine for trying so hard to get here. So don't look so sad."

It's all thanks to Elaine for trying to be strong so far, and if I get weak, she makes a breakthrough, and if my body hurts, she heals gently.

It was Elaine like that that that made me stronger and wanted Elaine to be king.

"Kite is... really sweet, isn't she? Normally, Leeds would have been easier than me..."

"Really? I don't trust Leeds, and Elaine doesn't hesitate to talk about it, so it's easier to stay with her, right?

"That can't be... 'Cause I was always alone until you came. I started collecting gems to distract the loneliness of being alone."

"It was..."

Something tells me Elaine is lonely... but was she really alone?

"Beh, I didn't say anything to comfort you. Right now, you're not lonely!

Oh, is that...?

"It's been fun since you came. I looked forward to talking to you every day. It's been all about you in my head for the past year. I never touched a gem but this pendant."

With that said, Elaine took the pendant out of her chest and showed it to me.

Sure, that pendant had beautiful gems on it.

But there were more beautiful gems in Elaine's room than this...

"This... is your mother's vision."

Oh, that's the thing...

"Your mother wasn't originally planning to be queen. She had a candidate for queen, and she had a fiancée. But my father couldn't have missed my mother, who was said to be beautiful in the kingdom, like an orc incarnation."

You're a hell of a pig. Even now, should I use my electric magic to roast pigs round?

"My mother, forced to marry me and not prepared to be queen, was stressed and weak every day... and died of illness before I was ten years old."

So soon......

"In this castle, yes. I didn't have your mother's side. He was always cold eyed and treated like a disturber. It's terrible, isn't it? Your mother didn't want to be queen."

So you were always alone even though you were the next queen......

As Mr. Aaron said, this country is rotting out.

"Mother, I always watched this pendant. I didn't put it in my mouth, but I probably got it from someone who was supposed to marry me. When I was watching this, my mother's face was kind of bright. So I figured if I watched this too after your mother died, I'd get better.... but I just remembered your mother and miss her even more"

"You can't even try it with other gems. No matter how rare the gems were, my heart was never filled."

"But now I know why."

With that said, Elaine crawled up to my bed.

"My mother was able to heal my heart when she saw this pendant because it was what my beloved gave me. So it didn't mean anything to me."

……

"Hey, I need a favor"

After a period of silence, Elaine cut it out that way.

Say anything.

I can give my life to Elaine.

"This pendant... will you put it on?

Huh? You got this pendant?

"Fine... but the other way around? It's about your mother, isn't it?

Earlier, you knew there was no spiritual significance, but you didn't turn into anything important, did you?

"It's okay. You usually wear it. So give it back to me when you go to war. I'll support it while you're gone."

Huh? That's...

"I know this pendant is bad luck. But that's why. Instead of your mother, I'm bound to my beloved. I want to clear up your mother's carelessness. So I'm gonna use this pendant."

I see.

"Then I get it. Until Elaine's mothers' minute, we're gonna be happy! I'll take care of this pendant because I think it's Elaine."

"Wait! I'll put it on you. Meditate your eyes."

As I tried to get my pendant from Elaine, Elaine panicked and pulled her hand in.

"Huh? Are you meditating on your eyes?

Just put it around your neck, right?

"Just meditate!

"Wow, I get it..."

Is it also some kind of surprise?

Thinking of that, I felt the weight on my shoulders and neck.

"Not if you still open your eyes..."

"Yes. Today's Reward"
