Huh, are you going to defeat Atai?

Of course.

"... fine. I'll fight you."

The opponent seemed to want to fight, and pulled out the sword that was piercing the ground.

Meanwhile, I didn't feel comfortable with Isla's sudden action.

Hey, what are you doing?

She asks calmly, just in case.

It's a really useful skill to have a lot of people around.

He's not a normal person.

Yeah, I know somehow.

Somehow?

The signs are subtle, aren't they? It's different from beastmen and elves, and it's different from gods. "

As Isla said, the signs were subtly different from the ones that resembled humans.

None of the S-rank adventurers realized that. Well, S-rank adventurers rarely encounter a god, so if they do, they have no choice but to escape.

If you don't have experience, you can't compare.

"Isn't your brother stronger?"

That's right, Mars is stronger.

"Then leave it to you." Atai doesn't want to fight the weak. "

"Let's not say that."

Ira disappeared.

"...!?"

The gatekeeper had just captured Aira in front of him without feeling distracted, so he suddenly reached the top speed and lost sight of Aira.

The gatekeeper was already challenged by Isla. I'm not going to let you say flying.

In an instant, Aira stopped in front of the gatekeeper and swung her sword sharply overhead.

The gatekeeper held a large sword and grabbed Isla's sword.

"Kuu...!"

Aira's sword was a long one. However, there was a big difference in size compared to the gatekeeper's sword.

Even if Aira's sword was broken, it wouldn't be strange to see the difference.

However, the gatekeeper's sword was desperately resisting the power that could be exposed to it.

"This guy..."

Ira's status was higher. That's why I'm using it in a way that allows me to exert my full power.

The gatekeeper was also quite strong and had enough strength to swing a big sword.

But that was all.

If so!

One step forward and the gatekeeper brings it into a tight match.

Each other's faces are close to touching the other's blades.

"Hey, we have to stop!"

Raed screams next to him.

It was the same gatekeeper who was defeated when Raed tried.

"It's okay."

Heath, who knew what Aira was capable of, had calmed down.

"He can't lose."

It turned out that the gatekeeper's ability was high, including that of the others.

Then it doesn't make sense to gather information and find someone easy to defeat.

How about this!

Magic power gushed out from the gatekeeper's body.

The antagonistic force collapsed and Aira was pushed back.

Yeah.

Aira was convinced by the sudden increase in the gatekeeper's power.

Enhancing your physical abilities.

The gatekeeper was driven by a desire to tongue. Just once, it was only a few enhancements, and even though the time was short, it was noticed.

Me and Melissa are aware of it. Those who had already seen the gatekeeper in a duel had noticed from the swing of the big sword.

Physical Ability Enhancement.

Ability to improve physical abilities by spreading magic power to the body, and to increase a portion of defense by wrapping it around the body. If you're a fighter with a lot of magic power, it's a must-have skill.

The gatekeeper used it without any singularity.

However, the only thing that bothers me.....

"I don't look tired. And there's no stain on the use of magic power."

“That's because the Lord sees only superficial parts.”

Yeah. It's a bit cluttered inside.

"... what do you mean?"

I don't know what Melissa and Noel's words mean, and I hear them back, but neither of them answers me.

I'm not messing with you, there are others here. I could sneak around in the labyrinth, but if I knew the answer, I would react. S rank adventurers don't know, so they don't even know.

“I hate it when Aira finds out the answer. Ms. Isla is currently in battle. I wish she could afford to adjust her story, but now that she seems to be more conscious of the duel, she won't be able to afford it.”

"Ah, that way."

Labyrinth synchronization is a skill that enables conversation between the Lord and his family regardless of distance. Basically, everyone can listen, but you can try not to be heard, so as not to be heard on your own initiative.

The problem was that I couldn't afford not to ask Aira.

For now, I think I can afford it, but I'm already enthusiastic about it.

Aira's eyes were shining. For the first time in a long time, ordinary people are the opponent, and they can exert considerable power.

Speaking of which, I didn't hear it was a duel.

What do you mean?

"Can you tell me your name?"

It's Aira.

"Yes, Atai is Miel."

Gatekeeper-Miel waved his sword to the side.

The sword approaching from the left was faster than its size, but with Aira's true power, it was easy to jump back and dodge it.

But you're not going to take the easy step of using the Holy Sword as a shield to take Miel's sword.

"N-no...!?"

I didn't just take it, I slipped on the Holy Sword and went forward.

Front ─ ― As he approached Miel, he jumped over her and kicked her in the face.

"... yeah?"

The moment she kicked it up, Aira had a strange feeling.

However, it puts it on hold and swings the Holy Sword and slashes Miel's sword in his hand before his legs reach the ground.

I see.

I didn't know exactly when I kicked it up. However, as a swordsman, she could know the state of her opponent more accurately when she slashed with her sword.

So I knew before the sword fell to the ground.

The sound of Miel's sword falling resounded. Many people pay attention to the sword that fell, but there is no hand that could have held it. It was true that the sword had fallen to the ground because Aira had slashed her wrist.

When that happens, Miel's hand grabs my attention.

There was a safe hand there.

"It's not cowardly to kick."

"You didn't say anything else about dueling with a sword." This is a duel between me and you. So, what do we do? "

Miel's sword fell next to Aira. Aira, the duel opponent, couldn't have forgiven me for getting her hands on it again.

Of course, Miel knows that too.

No problem. If you think Atai has only one weapon, you're mistaken.

When I put my hand on my waist, I took two daggers that were hidden.

With a dagger in each hand, I confronted Aira.

Huh?

What?

No, no, no.

It was Aira who told me not to say anything, but our people who were watching from behind could understand what I was trying to say.

Miel's position with the dagger closely resembled Sylvia's. The two daggers were the same.

― ― I'll go.

Mielle, who was running sharply, wielded two daggers.

But Ira was afraid of all of Miel's attacks.

"It looks like there's no problem even if you put some effort into it." I'll deal with you for the first time in a long time
