Dull sound, and feel.

Claria's full toe kick profoundly pierced the flank of her shield.

The boots worn by the knights are not just footwear. Vlad silver iron is used in the tip core to achieve the same hardness as steel.

It was based on working shoes designed to avoid injury by dropping heavy objects on the foot, which were stacked with their own improvements and research and were now popular as standard equipment for soldiers combining offense.

If you kicked it with these shoes, that's no different than beating it with a blunt instrument.

- That's right.

"... Huh...!

Claire, who was supposed to have put the pain on her, lags behind.

"When are you in the hall... isn't it a right middle with a firm hips? Whoa, hey, hey."

He said it was a direct hit with no more.

The driftshield rubs the kicked flank and laughs thinly.

That was just the reaction of the guerrillas who got a steel kick that stuffs even the big man if you decide.

……

Speed to muscle strength beyond intelligence. And - endurance.

What is it? Are you sure you're human?

"... of, monster...!

Still eating his teeth off, the little knight turns to the opponent in front of him.

How many offenses would have been repeated?

Or maybe it wasn't something you could call an offense or something.

"... Ha-ha-ha!"

Release the water bullet but don't hesitate, the fisted autonomous defense raises the splash. Pale, but surely feels as if the outer walls are going to be scraped.

Confronting driftshield eyes even look gruesome. It's as if you're giving up a naughty child.

With all your hands to prevent your opponent from blowing. This attack doesn't work at all.

Thus, what you are fighting is pointless in itself.

"... even you,"

If only you weren't here.

If there was no Arismic current protection.

By the hordes of resentful demons who raided the college, my sister and Mia... my classmates would have lost their lives. I must have been killed by Detlev's ploy.

Oh...... definitely.

Of life, a benefactor.

It's frightening.

If this man didn't happen to show up. I can't believe we might have been summoned to God at last.

"You eh...!

I know.

I just don't want to admit it. I don't want to admit it, I'm just wasting it.

I know, that's not true.

My father was cutting himself up for us and doing some fierce work. The boy didn't have a back cover, and he saved himself many times as a result of the lion's rapid activation.

I honestly can't admit that I'm just a kid.

I know.

About six months before I met this boy?

Amanda's engagement, Princess Liliane's regular royal guard, was decided, and I felt similar then.

He is now vacating the castle with the Holy Queen "Seihi" on important official business, but as soon as he returns and settles down, he hears that he plans to hold a ceremony.

The other man is a gentle, seemingly kind man. I'm sure you two will be happy.

Even my sister is the same.

He's more beautiful than anyone. Even men don't leave me alone, and eventually they fall in love with someone, and...

If my sister makes me happy, that's the best decision I can make.

Even though I think so.

There's a fiancée guy taking Amanda. There's this guy who favors his sister. My sister likes this guy. My father won't deal with me. There's a man.

"I don't like you... Huh!

Still, I wasn't going to be an adult.

He said, "Tell me clearly. You're gonna get hurt."

The boy laughs bitterly. With an adult face.

- It's challenging.

However, both physical and soul strength "Prarna" was already the limit.

The water that arouses does not form a form as a weapon, and exhausted arms and legs wield their bodies just by moving them.

"... Ha, ha...!

My breath hurts. The body is heavy. My heart hurts.

Lightly prevent the kick rolled out. Flirting, yet flickering, arms of a softly stretched flow shield.

"Sounds like it's time for an autonomous defense."

Calm observation eyes everywhere.

"Foresight, is that why..."

In contrast to drift protection, Claria exhaled her words in a rough breath.

"Bye. Without adding or subtracting, with all your strength... if you move just like that without an interval, you'll be right in the butt."

In a tone that even makes me labor.

- How immature.

Claria wanted to scream.

If you try to protect yourself, Claria is a much lower opponent. Even unplanned would have easily twisted it. Despite this, the guerrilla boy is calmly observing his opponent. Earlier, he also said he heard from Mia. I am coming to this struggle, fully prepared.

The opposing self, driven by the fierceness of the scene, was only challenged to the opponent who could not even win, shielding him from the most seemingly reason such as Solemn Qing.

I don't want to be touched by a man like this by virtue of it, because he mentioned my father. That's because everything he said was true. They poked me at the stars, and I was just furious.

(... you can't win, you can't...)

Even if it was a complete autonomous defense that was the outline of a favor in the first place, it was just prolonging the time to be defeated.

Every time I receive a fist and prevent it, my soul and heart strength, Prarna, is shredded. Above all, if drift protection were to be concerned with it, it would also easily crush defensively autonomous defenses.

From the beginning, there has been no battle... "duel" or anything like that.

Not only after simple force. Even in terms of feelings, I lost from the start.

A strange silence descended. Reach out to each other and you'll reach, close in time. The dominant realm of Arima Current Protection, where fists may soon fly.

But both sides don't move and face each other silently.

You can win, but you can't.

- Not like this.

――――

In a moment, Claria completely abandoned an autonomous defense that was also becoming more rigorous to activate.

Immediately, squeeze the last force and switch to physical strengthening.

At the same time, his right hand, strengthened to the fullest - his fingers stood again, sticking straight out. Towards both eyes of drift protection.

Blindfolded - Samming's blow blurred the right cheek of a flung shield.

"- Nice. I didn't think I'd give up easily."

Stretched Claria's right arm, a drift-protecting knife is gently tapped inside her elbow.

The moment Kakun and I were out of balance, Claria's vision spun.

If you notice, it feels like the earth on your back.

In the night sky that stretches out in front of you, the figure of a giant Ish Marni.

After this step, I finally realized I had been thrown down.

No more. No more hands, no more legs... no more body, no more movement.

"Okay, that's it! It was a little rough, but now we can talk slowly."

... talk...?

"Uh, nervous, seriously nervous! My heart was freaking out. I don't know what kind of poisonous tongue attacks fly."

Ish Marni, who dominates the dark sky, illuminates a boy's smile like a relief from the bottom of his heart.

"Yoo-hoo..."

Trying to lower his back next to the fallen Claria, the drift shield slightly glanced at him.... the only direct attack. Hold the kicked flank.

"... how... did you not avoid..."

"No. I'm surprised. Sometimes I went into Guru Hall and ate it normally... after all, because it didn't make any difference what you were lying about. I thought I'd give him a warning once or so. But honestly, I regret it. That was a good kick."

……

There is no pain or anything. He was defeated without any further ado.

He was confronted with a killer exfoliation, but was repelled by no skin completeness without one scratch. Only strength and soul and heart, Prarna, as dared to be emptied.

Besides, such pity.

How much difference in strength would result in such a tragic outcome?

"... ugh, ugh... ugh!

Too impudent, tears overflowed.

"Hey, hey, don't cry"

"Hey, I'm not here! Down with you! Just...! Ugh..."

"Don't say that, idiot. Belko, Mia, Mr. Fortinaria, Mr. Rubert... I'm so sad."

Lifeguard looks at the giant goddess over her head and says in a lonely tone.

"Dear Father..."

"Oh."

"... what happened to me... I don't think my father would be sad"

"Me. You said you talked to Mr. Rubert last night, right?

Lifeguard says something that hasn't been answered. but

"That's when they said..."

- That was an incredible story.

That my father praised himself for being a proud daughter.

... lying. Normally, I wouldn't even show you such a bare gesture. I'm sure for that guy, he's supposed to be a hard daughter to handle.

And - for our own dragging our brother's shadow, the fact that my father tried to ask him to take care of Predilecke's crusade. The fact that Belgrette, angry when she heard it, resisted her father.

But today, neither my sister nor my father, there was anything strange about it. As usual, we were getting along.

... That's all, you two are adults. Unlike myself.

"As I said earlier... I can't see my father anymore. As Claire said, I may be self-satisfied and accommodating... but if you have such a good father, I thought you'd take care of him. I don't want to be on the table in front of Claire, but I guess Mia thinks so, too. He won't see his father again..."

Looking up at the night sky, the driftshield murmured so lonely.

"Did you... really, just to say it... reveal your identity...?

"Oh. The guy with amnesia said, 'Dad, let's take care of this!' Whatever you say, it's not convincing, is it? And then again, as I said earlier... I didn't even like to keep my mouth shut anymore. It's a good time."

Really, for that reason.

False as amnesia, the fact that he became a guerrilla.

This may, in fact, be the subject of justice. It's not like I got my memory back after I became a guerrilla.

If what you're saying is true, there's no advantage in revealing your identity. There is only risk. No... even if it's a lie, it's still only a risk.

And yet, that's it.

"And then again, I lied earlier. I said I hated Claire, but I don't hate you. Well, I'm not that bad."

Shit, and the shield laughs.

"And I don't mind about me... Belle, the kid and Mia kept their mouths shut about me, forgive me. I've been stopping you."

He said it was like he got involved. The boy said that with a bad-looking face.

"I also know Claire can't be honest with Dad. Even I had a lot of fights with my dad... but sometimes he tells me to sweeten him up a little. I'm embarrassed, but maybe... no, I'll be delighted."

I say it with a naughty, dazzling smile.

- Really, this guy.

Just to say that...... stick your body up and do this.

I was a little uncomfortable and I missed my attention from myself.

"... what are you... going to do now?

"What do you want me to do?

"If I... report your qualities to Your Majesty... you may be punished, right? It is that which may be solemnly purified"

"Oh, with that? If that happens... yeah."

Even came up with a famous idea, so Lifeguard makes his voice play.

"Run away. Belle, I can't help it."

"Nah......!

"Whoa, Mia's our kid, too, isn't she? The three of us escape. I'll put you both on your shoulders and run away."

"Sohn......,...... ugh"

Stupid. I can't stand it.

It makes me feel so stupid that I've been worried about a lot of mess.

"Hehe, hahaha...... is that right? It's troublesome that they take your sister..."

"So Claire's coming, too?

"... it's crazy. I'm talking about a possible snitch."

"Oh, is that true too? I feel fine."

With his uncontrolled face, he also laughed at the drift protection.

"Okay, this is a good opportunity. Let me tell you about the world I was in and all that."

"... nothing, I don't want to hear"

"First...... right. The world I was in, as I was saying, is Earth."

He begins to speak with a nostalgic eye the unfamiliar words of Chicu but Nihon. I'm not sure what you're talking about, like a lie.

"Oh, my God, what a day my father is. Leaving the dog hun left in front of the house flat. You're gonna step on it, aren't you?

"... what is it, it..."

But why not?

Then often, the two of us were interested in a conversation. I could be interested.

Oh. I'm sure...... it's because I fell down and I'm tired and I can't move. So now... for a while now, I can only talk to this unpleasant man.

The next morning, at 7 a.m.

Everyone was on the wide front porch of the mansion.

I'm ready. All you have to do is take the carriage back to college.

"Thank you for your help"

"Thanks for your help -"

Lifeguard and Mia greet Rubert and the other maids.

"Uhm. Come back anytime."

"I'll be waiting for you any minute."

"Father, mother. I'm coming."

Belgrette carefully bowed her head to her parents. Signal it,

"So... Mother, I'm coming"

Claria, who was leaning against Fortinaria, leaves even as she seems to spare her fame.

And she, on that leg - before Rubert. Stand in front of your father.

"..., Claria...?

This time, without ever facing it properly... my daughter, who barely had a conversation, came to me. My father used to call his name as a surprise.

As such Claire was terribly nervous,

".................. and my father too. Well... go, I'll come."

That must be her best shot right now.

He groans small without even looking at my father's face and quickly turns his back twirling. But I'm sure you can tell from behind. My ears are bright red.

"Oh... Oh, oh! There you go, Claria. Be careful......!

My father broke his face with joy.

The reddened Claria and Rubert's irresistible smile.

"You're not being honest."

"Ugh, shut up"

Exchange small rewards.

Though it's a tough world and no guarantee for tomorrow. Now, I'm sure, that's it.

You look strange, Belgrette and Mia. I'll explain the situation to them, too. You must be surprised.

The carriage home, it doesn't seem like it's going to run out of talk...

And Lifeguard, who also had a duel last night and was sleepless, reversed a drunken quote on the carriage home. Belgrette and Mia were surprised. Claria's gaze, which seemed slightly gentler, returned to something limp again.
