From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

Tequila stroked the wand once. I got into position and confronted him.
Cough.
As the wand's hand grows stronger, the skill wiggles its wand and kicks with its toes.
“Looks like there's a lot of fighting going on. ”
Skill's posture has changed. I felt pressure just because I opened the door moderately.
“Then let's just mix our hands. ”
The horse crashed into the ground horribly. The opposing Pokémon is clearly superior to me. I couldn't help myself.
The rod slit the air from my hand transversely. At that moment, the end of his staff split into three halves.
Pair!
A rod hit my cheek because I couldn't avoid it properly.
There was no big shock. Tequila didn't do everything she could.
It was a kind of leadership struggle.
And what I need to show him is not my present ability.
I saw the skill and waved the wand with one hand, placing the hand that stopped me.
Whimpering.
Such a skill. My wand split in two.
Exactly!
At that moment, his staff knocked down my staff.
“... What did you do now? ”
His eyes are curious.
“As you can see. ”
All I had to show for it was my possibility, so I'm going to mimic all the skills he does now.
“That's funny.”
He had a smile on his face.
I couldn't master the vice, so I had to train my body to the extreme.
And based on its refined body, it demonstrates unimaginable skill.
That was the technician's skill.
Ping.
I can't see it. The end of the rod shakes and suddenly it touches the edge of my neck. It was as fast as a flash.
If this was a real battle, I'd just die once. It's too fast for my eyes.
“Can I go one more time? ”
When my mouth opens, Technologies nods.
I know his character. I also know why he liked me in his past life.
Greed of learning, hard work, perseverance.
These were my charms to him.
That day, I lost to him twelve times and endured until I couldn't stand up to his thighs anymore.
It may have been a talented persistence in my past life, but it was different now.
After the twelve defeats, Tequila's gaze and tone changed. He reached out to me and said,
“Do you really want to learn? ”
Why didn't you say this to me, but it contained the question.
Because you're the only one who's won a knight without a vice.
I want to have the skills of a knight like that.
“I told you from the beginning. I want to learn your weapons. ”
He looked through my whole body with his eyes and reached out his hand. He touched his shoulder and began to wriggle his whole body.
He squeezes his fingertips against his shoulders, chest, arms, thighs and mutters.
“I don't have the strength. ”
I didn't understand what he was saying, and when I saw him, he said,
“See you in three days. ”
“Three days?"
Tequila stared at me.
“Three days later. ”
Then he turns around and walks away.
“Hello? Tequila? ”
I walked very fast. Reflexively, his legs twitch and fall. I looked back at him with my hands on the ground. So this is allowed?
I don't know. I lay there staring up at the sky. It snowed a few days later, and now it is a clear sky with no clouds.
“This is so messy. ”
I feel like I'm living harder than I've ever lived before. I felt like I was going to fall asleep. It feels like the cold has become blankets and covers the whole body.
It was a good way to say goodbye while sleeping like this. Even though I was grooming myself with refined water, I couldn't hope to sleep outside in wet clothes.
Bassas.
A thin piece of thin ice has appeared over your wet leather armor.
‘Well, I wasn't always the type to put people right next to each other. ’
It's an easy type to get along with, but in some ways it's the hardest type. I allow a certain distance, but I do not allow more. Slow down. Slow down.
I wanted to learn all the skills of technology, and I knew it wouldn't happen overnight.
I ended my short vacation at the inn and went to my place. I stumbled on my thighs and bumped into Strick as I returned to the base.
“... Even an apprentice knight is an Earl Ludwig. ”
Seeing him, the streak opens its mouth.
“You can't be beaten anywhere. If you can't train because you don't have a knight to teach you, you can come visit me. ”
The streak is not a knight, but its combat abilities are as good as the one you grew up with.
It may not be his job to teach sixteen apprentices.
The only problem is I don't intend to learn it.
“It doesn't fit. It was just a struggle.”
“A duel?”
His eyebrows twitched. Well, no matter how much I hate it, I can't stand being beaten up outside.
“Yes, a duel. ”
No, this is a duel.
I had twelve chances and I didn't even touch his collar.
I couldn't figure out why this difference was happening right now. That's what I was most curious about after speaking a few words with Strick.
"Why?"
Why didn't I touch her? I killed the Knights of Armour on the battlefield, as well as some of the soldiers they prepared.
‘Cause it's not a battlefield? ’
No, that's not an excuse. I did my best. Then is there really that much difference between me and him?
I couldn't admit it either. Strick told me again that he was lost in thought.
“Seems to me like it just exploded by itself. ”
You're not wrong.
“I'm tired, so can I go first? ”
“Of course.”
I bowed my head and turned around and returned to the real place.
I know why the streak hates me.
He's a well-organized bookshelf kind of guy. And I'm the only book that pops up on that bookshelf. So, of course, you'll notice.
But I don't hate it when I take care of him because he's my own man.
I'll make a tonic later and give it to you.
“Ugh.”
I'm exhausted.It looks like I fought harder than running on a raging battlefield.
I took off my clothes, my armor, and wiped my wet body, and I noticed my whole body was bruised.
There were no thighs, arms, or bellies.
“... in three days? ”
I didn't think of any way to defeat him in the struggle.
No, before that, I was more curious about what it meant to see you in three days.

“Alice.”
Tequila calls out her daughter's name and stands tall. It was awkward, but it was also fun in its own way.
“It's awkward to be called my father. You could just call it tequila. ”
“As you wish. ”
Where did her personality come from? Tequila wasn't the type to be drawn to vanity or vanity.
“Why did you abandon me 20 years ago? Oh, I'm not saying anything, I'm just really curious. ”
“I thought it would only take a moment. ”
I didn't want to be successful. Tequila was from here and never thought she would leave here in her life.
The situation and the beating of the young days made it so.
For over twenty years, I was born with a spear, sword, bow, dagger, and axe.
Now we're screwed, but in Tequila's house, he always tried to make him a knight.
Just as the fallen aristocrat had not had a few bronzes in his arms, his pride was strong, and his father firmly said as Techill fell in love with an urban woman and became pregnant with Alice.
“Go to the center. I'll take the child and the child. If not, don't even think about it. ”
“What am I supposed to do when I go to Central Shed? ”
“A man has to play in the big water. Don't you think you can come back and get your woman and your daughter? ”
I thought my father had a point. I also wondered how much of my skill I had learned with all my dying strength would work.
Unfortunately, things seemed to be going well for everyone. She died giving birth to Alice.
Tequila wept for two days and night, embracing the heartbreak, leaving for the Central Capital.
Only later did I realize that his family hadn't taken Alice in the first place.
I couldn't help but overhear my wife. The day after, I heard the innkeeper picked it up and grew it, and as soon as I found out, Tequille left the house and kite.
“What's your last name? ”
By then, when someone asked, Tequila was able to answer.
“There is no such thing. ”
Castle is a symbol of nobility. Tequila abandoned its value on her own.
Even though there is no vomit, even a poor nobleman, it has all the history of that honor and family.
The description was cut off midway because it was not good around the horse.
But it was his story. Alice could understand it all.
“I'll say thank you to Chris later. ”
Tequila asked with her own eyes, and she said,
“He asked. What if my father shows up?" And that didn't surprise me very much. ”
In fact, Alice waited a few times for her father to come. When I was a kid.
However, when I grew up, my expectations were also worn out. Even a natural trait was unpleasant, and after that it was just something to laugh at.
“Then the one that died when I was ten years old... ”
“Do you want to be noble? ”
Tequila asked. If Alice wanted to, she'd want to take over the family right now.
“If you don't like him, that's fine. I was David's Alice from birth, and that's enough. I have a last name, but I don't think so. ”
The tea. Tequila thought her tear glands had dried up completely. The day Alice's mother died, I thought I'd spilled it all.
But now I felt like I was going to cry. He held Alice's hand while he held on to it.
Farr. A hand that did not tremble with ten enemies, a heart that did not tremble with arrows thrown at it.
“I'm sorry.”
She needed an apology, even if she accepted it freely.
Sometimes I had to take it out of my mouth to understand and accept it, and in this situation, apologies were inevitable.
“I'm fine.”
Tears came from Alice's eyes. Even though she was cheerful and pleasant, she was also a woman and a poor child who lost her father and mother. However, Alice wakes up after tears have been shed.
“Whew, it's not like Alice to cry. ”
She mutters to herself. Tequila stares at her.
I felt like my head was reaching the ceiling of the inn because I was so tall. It actually meant that it was relaxed for a long time, but it looked that big.
“What are you going to do now? ”
Alice's question reminds me of the name of the man who asked her something.
He was a boy with dark blue hair and an unfamiliar handsome face.
“Did I say Chris? ”
Alice glances at him.
“Why?”
“He asked me to teach him. ”
“What?”
“How to fight. ”
Alice couldn't forget her first look at technology. Taking off his dirty cloak and pulling out his jaw.
“Was it a famous article? ”
“No.”
Tequila shakes her head. It wasn't famous, it's true.
Alice explained to her father who Chris was. It was said to be a saint, a hero on the front line, and perhaps the bastard of the lord. Chris was already a celebrity around here.
“The grandson of the Holy King? That can't be right. ”
I wonder how many continents I've traveled around since I got to the center.
It makes sense to him that the saint cannot have a wife, because there is no way to confirm it, bastard. It doesn't make sense to be a grandson without a child.
“Yeah, I don't think so either. ”
“The hero of the battlefield? ”
Alice also heard the story. When I explained it roughly, the skill sparkled.
And I repeated the blood over and over again, slowly rolling my fist from my little finger.
Seeing that, Alice realizes that the man in front of her is her real father.
When he found something exciting and interesting, he clenched his fist like that.
“Then can you teach me? ”
“... What do you mean? ”
“I've wanted to be a knight since I was a kid. ”
When I first said I was going to apply as a soldier, my raised mother hit me with a broom until my thighs burst.
“You hate fighting, so I can't cook. Increasingly, the inn thing isn't right for me. Don't tell me you can't do it because you're a woman. ”
Tequila's eyes reach for her palm. He said he'd knocked down a couple of old men with his bare hands, and it was a firm palm of his hand. Tequila asked.
“Sword?”
“Yes."
“Let's do it. ”
In the middle, it also looks common here. There was no reason to disagree as a woman.
Just because they're parents, they don't want to go to war.
Tequila didn't think long. I wanted to listen to her wishes, and if I did, I liked learning from the right people.
Moreover, he already knows he is good at it and wants to do it. And in that way, the knights are not a bad way.
Tequila came up with a few ways in her head. There are only dozens of apprentices who have passed through their hands. He was a cultivation expert.
“I have some preparations to make, Alice. I'll see you in three days. I think we should find a place to stay in the meantime. ”
“Home? Do you have money? ”
Tequila pulled out her pocket and showed it to me. Neither gambling nor women enjoyed it. He collected and kept most of his salary.
In other words, he was rich enough to buy a mansion and have servants.
“I'm sorry about my mother. ”
Alice quit her job at the inn that day. But it wasn't that far away.
In the meantime, I bought a house right next to the inn that was so close to me that I was relieved to say thank you and shed tears.
