"Please!

In front of Lecia, Lily was sitting grounded and bowing her head.

"Mr. Lily!?

Her pride in the dangerous profession of adventurer is very high for a woman.

Lecia also rounded her eyes on Lily's behavior because she was aware of it.

"What, I don't know. Just tell me what's going on."

Lily, finally raising her head, opened her mouth.

"Once upon a time I admired knights. That's why I've read a lot about knights. In doing so, I remembered asking."

Lecia turns to listen in silence to Lily's desperate way of squeezing the sand on the ground.

"The Story of Ritzergelt, the Iron Arm Knight"

Ritzergelt, who lost one arm in the war, mounted an iron arm as a prosthetic limb, traveled across countries, and raised his martial name to eventually become the chief knight of a country.

"Wouldn't it be an ivory tower and have the knowledge of something called prosthetic feet? Tell me about it!

The ivory tower is a treasure trove of knowledge.

Noble aristocrats and noble knights seem to have many people who used prosthetic legs to keep fighting. Apparently, it's because Lily has never seen them herself.

After becoming an adventurer, the sun is shallow, and Lily, who has been imprisoned here without having time to get to know the world well, doesn't know them.

But I've heard rumors that there are such people apart from that.

And that is possible because it is the knowledge of the ivory tower.

The knowledge of the ivory tower is worth a thousand gold.

That was the rumor and common sense of the adventurers.

"What do you do when you know that?

"Make it, I'll give it to Gi Gur"

"Is that the right thing to do as an adventurer? Or... judgment as Lily?

Adventurers are those who stand up to demons. It pays off demons with overwhelming force and expands the human world. Spirits for that.

Asking Lecia is intimidating as if there were an idol on the spot: the Virgin, not the girl.

"I don't know. But I swore by the sword and applied to Lord Gi-Gar for a duel. Duels must be reciprocal."

Squeezing the pattern of the sword over her hips, Lily answers Lecia.

"I thought I had lost to Lord Gi Gur, who had no legs and no arms, waving his spear diligently. I won't be able to stand back on the adventurer."

That's a wall.

If we don't get rid of this loss, we can't move on.

"Please. Dear Lecia... I don't want to lose!

Being beaten mentally is completely different from losing in tactics.

To himself, to Gi Gur's obsession, Lily had to challenge him.

"... ok. But there's one condition."

"What is it!?

"Please win"

dust, and to a smiling lecia.

"Ha!"

Lily nodded forcefully.

◇ ◆ ◇

Sleep on the ground and look up at the night sky.

Think back to Lily, who came during the day. Are you going to be an encouragement, they applied for a duel?

Strange, I didn't feel malicious because my eyes were about to flood with tears in return.

Malicious people have mockery in their eyes.

Gi Gur's body is terribly heavy when he says the time is already night, but there is no time until the promised day. Just one leg can't catch a spear.

Why, I think.

Why is it so difficult to handle the spear that I have been wearing with so little leg? Even before becoming a rare class and being found by the king, and when the settlement was raided by oak leaders, with this weapon called the spear, I had myself.

I feel irrational, like something close has suddenly gone far.

"Are you so dissatisfied with the loss of your legs and hands?

Ask the spear that pierced the ground, but no response returns.

Naturally.

A spear never utters a word. It just exerts its power vertically and horizontally, according to its own will.

I suppose so.

"You're unhappy."

To the unexpectedly returned answer, Gi Gur jumps up.

"What!?

"I'm very dissatisfied"

Sometimes I was talking, and I accidentally fixed my gaze on the spear.

"Did the spear talk...?

"What are you talking about"

I think it's strange, and if you raise your gaze, there's Lily's appearance there.

Look at her face blatantly, but she ignores it with intent.

"There must be days till the duel."

"Oh, yeah"

When I nod, I poke something like a stick of wood in my hand right in front of Gi Gur.

"What, this?

"It's your new leg."

Gi Gur snaps his neck wondering what he's talking about. Something like this can't be a leg. A foot is more like this......

While Gi Gur thinks, he attaches something like a wooden stick to Gi Gur's leg, where Lily, who poked her knee at its foot, has lost her knee to the bottom. A wooden stick, reinforced by a leather belt and just adjusted to the length of Gi Gar's leg, is wrapped around it by a leather belt.

"It hurts a little."

To Lily's strong gaze as she looked up, Gi Gur grabbed her teeth when she realized she wanted to be serious.

"Gu!?

The feeling of eating into the meat and the feeling that there is something on the toe that I did lose with the pain.

"Stand up."

Grabbed by a raised lily's hand, he wakes up his own body and rises with “two" legs.

That's how the exclamation leaks out of Gi Gur's mouth, who took a step in obsession.

"Ooh..."

I can walk.

I have some pain eating into the meat, but my prosthetic legs did support both my own weights and make me stand up.

"... why. Why are you giving this to me? You'll be at a disadvantage in this duel."

He stops at the third step on foot and Gi Gur can turn back to Lily as he struggles.

"Duels should be equal"

Sincerely Lily's eyes tell him that there is no other reason.

"... thank you"

"The word, it's still early. Let me hear it when the duel is over."

"Right."

Lily walks refreshingly with her back to Gi Gur, who nodded deeply.

Dropping off that back, Gi Gur looked up at the night sky.

"King, I can still fight!

I want to see the king soon.

◆ ◇ ◇

To the temper of one and one across the street, there is no sound around.

Promise day.

Gi Garr and Lily, with prosthetic legs, were confronted in the settlement square. Even the sound of pulling the blade sword out of the sheath is streamlined, and Lily pulls the sword out. In contrast, Gi Gur stepped firmly on the ground with his two legs and placed a spear with a drop of the tip of his ear on the lower stage.

"No!"

Gi Gur's body sinks.

One goblin with an indomitable soul calls.

"Fight!"

The knight who vowed victory responds.

In a settlement without a king, the curtain of the duel opened.

◇ ◇ ◆

A prosthetic leg to step in.

The tip of the spear, like the head of a snake, is brought forth and instantly stretched out to devour the throat.

Even though he's pulling a blade, Lily scratches a blow that could even kill him if he gets it right.

I will deflect you from its orbit with a long sword from further down the brick tip. At the same time, the Acoustic Feet is used to accelerate.

In Lily's Zweil-style swordsmanship, mastering this first is a testament to one person.

One eye and two legs, two in the logic of swordsmanship, supposedly. The Acoustic Feet, which produces intense acceleration, was a peculiar skill not seen by any other genre.

An accelerated Lily sword targets Gi Gur's torso. A long sword with a spear tip is flipped and waved by a horizontal giraffe.

Also called a sense of the wild, with his crisis-sensing abilities, Gi Gar instantly puts the sticking spear back on hand. Leap back and try to protect your body to get the spear pattern out of orbit so that you can get out of the orbit of the sword that will be wielded.

Lily's long sword to be shaken off with a sharp impact. But still, with Lily's slender arms, he doesn't have the strength to break Gi Gur's iron spear.

Distanced, Gi Gur watches how Lily comes out.

If it's a spear and sword battle, the division is a deal of time.

It is still in Gi Gur for that matter.

"Your prosthetic legs look good."

Lily, who stood by nature, fixes her position so that she bears the sword on her shoulder.

"With a handful of only one arm, you're feeling better than you're missing"

Gi Gar laughs furiously, and Lily smiles the same way.

"Let's go!

"Come!"

It was Lily who set me up. From acceleration with Acoustic Feet, he bears it on his shoulder and waves his sword down thoughtfully.

Gi Gur, who stuck his spear to match Lily, who is going straight into it, tongues that its acceleration is faster than expected.

You didn't mean it until earlier!

By the time I realized it, it was already too late.

When you instantly pull back the spear that was sent, you learn that Lily's sword is faster in an attempt to inflict an additional blow. Not like earlier. Full retreat. A blade to be swung down splits into three parts and comes down for Gi Gur.

Three slaughters across the ground. But only one sword is in Lily's possession after the earthen smoke clears.

"... what reason?"

"Nothing, your king isn't the only one who can use his skills. People have things that people have piled up."

When you sword the earthen smoke drifting at your feet, you take the sword on your shoulders again.

"Come on, get a good taste of the Zweil Sword!
