My concentration broke unexpectedly, and I stuck my hands on both knees.

"Ha......!!

"Good job, Jack. You've stabilized a lot."

I scratched the water bottle that Elvis handed me.

The smelter - a college facility set aside for spiritual training.

I was caged here every day with Elvis here, dawning in the development of new moves.

It was the same thing at the bedroom last time, but I'm extremely attacking without a 'sword on my head'.

The Heavy Attack of "The Sword of Akagami" may not always work, and it is now necessary to prepare another method of attack.

Once this new move is complete, the problem will be solved.

"Is the remaining challenge about charge time?

said Elvis as he looked at the wall with the big crack.

I put the water bottle out of my mouth,

"You have no choice about that. In principle."

"Sort of. Conversely, it also means that if you can secure a charge time, you can increase your power unlimited..."

"It would be best to do a charge while (...), in the end. Let's get used to it so we don't have to concentrate as much as we do from here."

Looking out the window, it was dark.

"Is it this time already? I didn't realize."

"Time to cut it up"

"Right."

We cleaned up and left the smelter.

It's a college where there are people all the time, but I just don't feel like one at night.

Walk for their own dorm as they cross the light leaking from other student dorms.

"How about rooting for the royalists?

"Thanks to you, it's going well. The odds of winning the title of Spirit King are now five fifths."

"I hope we can raise that odds a little bit."

"I can. There's some combined luck, and winning isn't an impossible story at all."

"The King of Spirits... I have no idea."

The most powerful title in the world of spiritualists.

If they climb that far... I'm sure...

I reached the dorm.

Bath, is it still open?

With that in mind, I walked through the door and into the lobby.

Then, for some reason, Rachel was waiting.

"Welcome back, Jack. Good luck late."

"Ohh... Ohh...?

Why Rachel?

There are separate faculty quarters......

"Elvis, you can go. Bath, because it's still open."

"Yes...... Then..."

Did you feel the disturbing air, or Elvis walked away with a crunch.

Hey, what?

Me, what's up?

"Why don't you just come over here and sit down, not stand there like that? You must be tired of training."

"Yes......"

For some reason, it became a tribute.

I'll sit in the talking space set up in the corner of the lobby.

Rachel sat across the street.

Rachel comes across the table, staring straight at my face.

"... anything you're hiding?

My heart bounced.

It could have come out on my face.

No way, did you find out?

That me and Elvis are after Bifronce.

Together, Rachel half-eyed.

"That face... I knew I had it, what I was hiding"

Ugh, I'm fucked!

"No, I don't, I don't know, anything"

"Lie. I just said, 'Did you find out?' I looked."

Sharp......!

"Or is that a mistake?

"Then why did you suddenly start training with Elvis? I looked at you so competitively."

"Oh, that's..."

"You guys... aren't you two trying to do something unsolicited?

I'm not going to be able to deceive you.

But I didn't want to worry about Rachel.

So, I'm going to be tough.

"Don't pry too hard! There's so much you can't tell me about my master!

Rachel looked annoyed and pressed silently.

... All right.

I may have overstated it a little, but with all this momentum...

"- I have amnesia. Yes, I said."

........................... what?

The floating hips hardened as they were.

What do you mean now?

"You see, there's nothing I can't tell you. So say it, Jack. Here, come on."

"No, wait, wait, wait! Don't flush it! Amnesia!? I've never heard of that!

"Something I never said"

"What do you mean?!?

Mmm, and looking unhappy, Rachel began to talk.

"Like I said, I don't have previous memories from about a hundred years ago"

"A hundred years ago... it was when we started our journey, wasn't it?

"Yes. I lost my memory, and I didn't know anything about it, so I asked the Dean of the College to protect me for about ten years..."

"Stop! What did the Dean say?

"Dean of the College. Toula Cleese. When she realized it, she lost her memory and wandered. It was that man who helped me."

"That's my first ear too..."

"Something I haven't told you."

This guy......

"How long have you lost your memory? I still have general knowledge..."

"I could read about the letters. Other than that, just the name. I don't even know where my hometown is or what purpose I left it for...... I don't even know my age. Even now."

"Why did you lose your memory?

"Come on...... I had a headache, so maybe I hit him somewhere."

He said he hit it somewhere...

Don't say it like the abrasion that was attached before you realized it.

"So, the collection of spiritual arts, what do you mean? That was what the master was after, wasn't it?

"While I was spending time with Toula, I got my head sorted out...... Then somehow, I felt like I had to look for spirituality. I was wondering if maybe that was what it was for before I lost my memory, and I'm just going on for now."

Just keep going. It's been a hundred years.

After all, the elves have different scales of time......

"As a matter of fact, I don't know what kind of spiritual art you're looking for. You may recall when you find it…"

"You're looking for your own memory rather than some kind of spiritual art..."

"It could be. Honestly, I'm not really interested now."

Have it, be interested.

It's about me.

"I don't care what I tell you."

It doesn't matter at all, I wanted to go in there, but I couldn't resist the racket that was stuck.

"I said, Tell me about Jack. What you're hiding."

"No, I didn't hide Master's..."

"Say it. Come on. Here."

I couldn't run away - I couldn't.

I end up being all gello.

That there might have been a criminal named 'Bifronce' behind the bandits' Crimson Cat '.

That plans are underway to pick up illegal gambling, similarly to the Spirit King battle and the occasion.

That with that in mind, we are about to approach the identity of the 'bifronce'.

Don't forget to report that Elvis is an accomplice.

Having heard everything, Rachel said,

".................. ahhhhhhh"

and zero a long, long sigh.

I waited silently and in awe.

"... you shouldn't have let Elvis go"

Boosh, and voice.

"I should've put the two of you together and stopped him."

Yeah, yeah! Take-!

Next to me shivering, Rachel moves in.

They grabbed me on both shoulders disappointingly and I couldn't get away with it.

At least, and if you deflect your face from the side,

"Look at me."

"What?"

I can do everything I can to keep my eyes peeled.

Rachel's eyes were peeking into mine.

Toss it directly into your heart - the master tells you.

"... at the kid's minute, what are you sticking your neck in...!

Rachel's voice was shaking slightly.

That's what the suppressed anger seeped out.

But at the same time...

It also sounded like I was crying.

"Really... you are always dangerous...! Kids away and you're smart, only strangely rampant when in danger......!

Even when the bandits kidnapped me. I wish I had run away myself at the time I let the other kids go... you dared choose to confront that woman leader... "

At that time...... sure, I might have lacked calm.

Chronic in discerning enemy skill.

Even with a painful counterattack, I didn't think at all of trying to escape.

To be impelled by something.

We chose to kill each other.

In Rachel's hand, he felt much stronger.

When I think about it, I can hold it forcefully.

My face buried in my soft chest.

... warm, smells good.

"... the truth is, I want to do it all for you"

Raquel whispered in his ear as he held me in his chest.

"I want you to leave it all to me... I want you to rely on me... I feel much safer about it.

But... I'm a master. "

I turned my hand around Rachel's back.

Compared to when we first met, I grew up a lot too.

When I try this again, I realize that she is a thin, luxurious girl.

Warm.

Soft.

Kind.

I felt that kind of racket all over me.

Then, just let yourself go.

From close range, looking at Rachel's face, I told him.

"Master... I've been studying spirituality for this"

Clearly.

Think.

Do what you want.

"You said it first. To protect what you want to protect. That's all. Really, that's all I've ever lived for.

Some of those "things I want to protect" are in there with my master and Rachel. "

Only slightly, Rachel's eyes widened.

"It may be dangerous, but you may think it's stupid, but for that matter, I think this is something we need to do.

So it's weird to say, "So..."

Now on the contrary, I'll grab Rachel's shoulder.

Into her heart, throw it in.

"- Trust me. The apprentice I raised."

Moments.

Raquel accidentally missed his face.

…… Hey, what's up?

"Do... don't look..."

I peered in with my hand trying to push me.

Rachel's face turned bright red.

"Ko, this is... chi, because it's not... because it's some mistake...!

It's like.

Reacting like a beginner adolescent girl.

Somehow, my face is getting hotter up to me.

"And, Master... what a face you have on your disciple..."

"So no! It's just a little hot!

When I said the teasing thing in the blindfold, Rachel started fanning her face all over again.

You're too bad at deluding me......

I remember something weird because I'm so bad.

"Hihihihihi! Be careful not to put your hands on my goddaughter, okay?

When I just got into school, the dean said that to Rachel.

Oooh............!!

Calm down......!

I have Phil.

Yes, there's Phil. Phil. Phil......

At the edge of his vision, a slightly reddish rackel glanced at him.

"... you've grown, Jack"
