Well, time went by, and the night arrived early. Sleeping Leishe asks Finia and Lulu to wake her up, and I await the arrival of Odishama in the inn cafeteria.

While Leishe was asleep, I went to the guild, had tea, went around the neighborhood shops, wasted time, bowed my head to all sorts of people and took a nap. Yeah, I worked really hard! I don't know if you're hot enough to be a teenager with all this insinuation for one girl, me.

Ask Ayla and the others to speed up the inn's dinner time, and if it's true, the dining room, which is still showing its busyness, is getting interesting and quiet. I don't even see Mr. Eira and the others. Seriously, this ground floor space is in my rented out state.

"Kitsune! Leishe, I'm waking you up!

"... tough, are you sure you're okay? I was just sleeping..."

"Come on? Maybe we can figure it out. I believe so."

"Isn't that desperate!!

Leishe dropped the sword she had on the floor and began to look in the direction of the day after tomorrow with a sad look. Well, Odysama hasn't come yet, and if you're just depressed, it feels like there's no more afterwards, and it might have a backwater formation effect. I may not answer.

Lulu and Finia already seemed to be in a stance to leave the flow to watch the expansion, and started eating the dinner that Mr. Eira's husband had made and left behind at the corner.

Then,

"You kept me waiting, I came as promised."

"Hey Odysama, as you can see, it's rented out. How about a cup of tea first?

Here comes Odysama. With a splendid sword on his hips, he stands in the same majesty and piercing position he saw yesterday. I knew the style of the mighty was seeping out over and over again. Scary. Scary.

"I don't need it, I have one thing to do. Just get it over with."

"It's because of you...... well no"

Did Leishe also change her mind about the appearance of Odysama, putting one deep breath in and getting up? I have slept well, so I do not see any abnormalities such as illness in the face.

I got up slowly too and confronted Odysama. [M]

"First, let's reconfirm the story and go."

……

"From what I've heard from Liesche, I hear Odysama is the Knights leader. And the lineage is also the blood of a high-formatted knight from generation to generation, and the lineage of Odysama has long given birth to a well-known and proud knight with an original pattern... Do you have any?

"... Oh, if that's all you're asking, do you also know about 'The Devil's Eye of Foresight'?

"Well - so, according to what I ask Leishe, she was not born into such a bloodline, and she hasn't been able to become a knight after two years of training. They say he has no talent. So as the Knights Commander, I can't keep Leishe at home anymore... is that it?

I have to check this place first. All I know is Leishe's opinion. From this odisumma, that may be wrong, or there may be some other, unavoidable circumstance. We should make sure of that.

"- Oh, right... To be honest, Trichet is not talented from me. When I dealt with the Warcraft in training and when I competed with a knight who was instructor in a simulated battle, I exposed myself to pity in a motion that wasn't... a battle that wasn't a life-taking battle."

"Huh..."

"At first I thought you were scared of battle, because you're a woman, even though you're a knight apprentice... but I knew from the way you went about training and encouraged it not. So I thought you were nervous, but after 2 years of training you should get quite used to it... that was different too. Trichet is a fundamental part of it and lacks the talent of a knight!

I'm not talented, that's something I can't help. Humans, not necessarily the talent you want matches what you want to do. That is why humans strive to find, choose and stretch the talents they can possess.

But rarely can I be blamed for not having certain talents. That's Leishe now. Realistically, Leishe hasn't done one thing wrong, she just couldn't live up to her expectations. You mean at birth, this development was prescribed?

"We are one of the proud clans as knights. If so, Trichet should also wave his sword as a knight."

"I see."

If Leishe doesn't want to be a knight, I've disputed that decision, but if she wants to be a knight herself, is that acceptable?

"But Trichet can't do that. Therefore it is a disgrace to my clan, and it is not necessary for my clan, such as those who cannot be knights"

"Thanks for taking the time to talk. That's enough."

"Hmm, so? What has Trichet changed this past night? You mean you got the strength to be a knight?

"Well, you should see for yourself - they have mock warfare for knights, and Leishe and Odysama, let's do it one-on-one"

What? and Odysama narrowed her eyes. Lieche also has a stunned look behind me. If you want to measure your strength, you can fight it once. I guess that's how knights do it, huh? Formal knight's, formal, way to go, isn't it?

"Don't stick around and do it. Now you've lost your hips?

With that said, Odysama pulled out her sword with a crease between her eyebrows. There was no disturbance in its behavior, and I still got a glimpse of my experience as a knight captain.

In contrast, Leishe is looking at me with an awkward and faded look. He seems to be standing up, with his sword down. Well, would that happen if I was suddenly brought up with this story?

"Leishe."

"Huh... ki, tough! I am a Knight Apprentice!? You can't possibly beat your father!

"You don't have to win, you just have to recognize the strength you can do as a knight"

"But!"

"Listen carefully, Lieche."

This is a bet. If my predictions are true, if my assumptions are true, then we can work this out. It's a bad bet, but I found it with no possibility, so I'll bet on anything I can bet on.

I won't give up as long as there's still a 1% chance!

I don't know what to say. Did I tell you that before?

――――

"Hey, but............... ok, I'll try"

Looks like Leishe convinced me too.

"But, well, you can't do it here."

"" Ah. "

Inn cafeteria, that's too annoying for a mock fight.

◇ ◇ ◇

My name is Trichet Lumiera. She is a 17-year-old woman who needs daily training as a knight apprentice.

I am now coming to someone who saved my life about a week ago... where I was told to be. It seems to be a game venue set up behind the Adventurer's Guild, a place where the Adventurers play mock fights on their plays. The only two people here right now are me and... my father.

I have been polishing myself as a knight apprentice for two years. I can assure you that I have put all my efforts into those days. But I haven't been a knight yet. He was told he was talentless, demeaned, and also betrayed the expectations born of his birth as a knight's lineage.

So I'm about to be abandoned by my father.

Truth be told, the words of my father, who was speaking tough earlier, pierced my heart. It felt deep and deep, like being wedged in. I've been told before, the shame of the clan, the defects, the failures, the ordinary people, all sorts of things.

But they said it was clear.

- I don't need it.

I didn't need it, it was the first time they said it was clear. I was aware, but I thought again - that my family needed me to be 'gone'.

So this is your last chance. This is the last chance my father gave me because he's my son. Nature and the power came into my sword-shaking hand.

"Trichet"

"... Yes, Father"

"This is our last chance. Now, here - show me your power as a knight."

That's what my father said, he pulled out his sword. No matter how many times I look at it, it works beautifully. Longing for that, I wanted to be a knight. My father's back was far, huge, but still I've been running staring at that big back.

Don't do it here, where do you do it?

"- Yes."

I pulled out my sword, too.

"Huh..."

The intimidation that my father unleashes increases as soon as possible. The moment I pulled out my sword and pointed my cut at the other... between the two, I lose no parent-child feelings, no bonds with friends, no memories I grew up with love.

There is only the one and only pride that the knights put on themselves!

"I don't use the Devil's Eye... Bring your (...) full strength and hang on!

My father called me 'you', not Trichet. This means you recognized me as your opponent fighting as a knight.

Later, as a courtesy of the knight, if you raise your name, the game begins -!

"Trichet Lumieira - I'm coming!

"Vais Lumieira - Come!

It was like a thread stuck with air. Tension and exploration. The cutting tip shakes slightly and the leg leaves just a little bit ahead.

There are no gaps... Knights Commander, as someone who stands in that position, his standing ends in an awesome word. I can't attack you......!

"What's up? You're not coming?

"Huh!"

My father's words made me rush out in a hurry. The moment I realized it was a foolishness to stop here, I further accelerated. Activate Skills' Physical Enhancement LV2 'and' Handsome Feet ', one step in front of Father's Interval - another step, accelerate!

"Ha!!

"It's late."

The sword swung down from the upper section is reciprocated by a diagonally placed father's sword. It breaks down and fills with gaps. There, my father's sword strikes me with mercy.

"Knock... ahhh!!

"What...?

I stick my sword down to the ground and defeat my body to the side. The sword waved by the horizontal giraffe passes critically in front of my face.

I took a rolling distance from the ground with my father with a slightly stunned look beside him. Because I'm understated, or you're not coming after me, Father. Well, thanks to that, I was able to regain my position.

"... I see, I don't know why, but you do get to move... what trick?

"Come on...... because I was just asleep all night. If you insist, I got some sleep."

"Hmm... that guy, his attitude, his words, his actions... he's a mysterious man"

"Right, so do I. - I think!

Now I'm not in a hurry, I step forward. Use the previous skills to accelerate as well. My father is also reading my movements, I try to move left and right to confuse them, but my father's eyes captured my appearance without the use of demonic eyes.

Then!

"I see it!

"- Ha!"

A father's sword wielded from the bottom to the top, depicting a semi-circular trajectory. But I'm going to skew it forward. Then he walks straight through next to his father and looks right back. I took the back!

"Gap - there is!!

"Sweet."

"Become!?

Looking back, I swung my sword by rotating it from body to body. But my father had already turned his body towards mine. Switching too fast!

"Gah!?

I used my flexibly forged shoulder to turn the sword I shook up to my back and tapped my elbow accurately with that patterned head. Your arms bend and the power of the sword you have wielded escapes.

Yummy, the power of the sword is spinning even if it dies, this power cannot escape -!

"It's over."

I turned my back on my father with spinning momentum, not the father who misses that gap. Quietly, a cold blade poked at my neck from behind. defeat, that was there in full form.

"…… came,"

"Hmm."

When he made the declaration of defeat, his father drew his sword and put it into the sheath. Even its behavior is beautiful and pokes at the magnitude of its longed existence. At the same time I felt sorry for him, I still felt proud of my strong father.

◇ ◇ ◇

"What will happen to you, Mr. Tight, Leishe?

"Eighty-nine out of ten. You'll lose. - Different degrees, both level and talent."

"Huh? So what do you do?

We've been indulgent in our room since Leishe and the others left. I fell asleep in bed and sang my nose. Ha ha, I hope I don't have to do anything.

That's when Finia asked me as I put my arms around her, so I told her the conclusions that I would come to if I thought about them normally.

"Well, you don't have to win to show your strength. Hey, on that condition... there's a chance you'll score a pass."

"What do you mean?

"I care too"

To Finia's inquiry, Lulu approached me wondering if she cared, too. I had no choice, because these kids were asleep then. Then I'll tell you what Leishe was talking about.

"You know, Leishe..."

"Liesche, could it be that the practice of the Knights is like mould-centric?

"Oh, oh... yeah. The knight exists in every country, but in roughly three forms"

From what I hear, knights have three forms when it comes to handling swords.

The first is the sword technique of an attack that uses only weapons and one's own flesh - the sword martial ceremony

The second is a defensive sword technique that combines weapons and magic - the Luminous Style

The third is the sword technique of a returning move that diverts the attack with a weapon and targets a moment's gap - a streamlined mirror style

Within these three formats, the knights become aware of and stretch the sword moves that are available to them during the training phase. They say the early one can go up to the knight in roughly six months. At first, I learned all three basics, so I can combine another format with a format that I'm good at pursuing and think about the original movement.

Leishe seems to be swordmartial and has been working hard in this format since the beginning.

"Why Kenbu-style?

"My family had a lot of swordmartial rituals for generations, so did my father, and that's why I wanted to extend the swordmartial rituals, too. I don't think the counter is going to stretch much more than I can use the demonic eye, and magic can't be used because it has less magic, I guess I feel inevitably it has."

"Hmmm......"

But I wonder, is Kenbu-style a flesh-focused sword technique? Then I feel that the difference with my surroundings will open up in the future where Leishe, the woman, worked out. It's not like you're talented because your status is growing.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to deduce the third counter format, "Stream Mirror Formula". Even if you don't have a demon eye, if you work out, you'll be able to see through their movements.

"By the way, Lieche, isn't it easier when you fight alone?

"Huh? Hmm... certainly better than when you're with someone... maybe?

"I knew it."

When I heard about that, I kind of figured it out.

Leishe is somewhat familiar in her relationships, but she says that the best way out of this is when she waves her sword. The important thing is two elements.

For one thing, Leishe realizes that she is aiming for a knight as her own dream, and that's why she's been trying her best.

And the other is that he teaches' formal '' shaped 'sword moves as training for knights.

There's nothing more to it than the very reason these two are limiting Leishe's movements.

As I said, Leishe is somewhat familiar. That means it's a personality that cares about people's gaze.

In battle, when someone is beside her - with a person's gaze to be exact, she cares about that gaze and can't move as she wishes. This is just one reason why I can't give her strength, but another.

That there is a 'mould' of formal sword moves. Leishe is not talented, and therefore unfavourable to apply. Probably something you must have been practicing your basic moves for two years.

That's what I couldn't do.

The fact that there is a 'mould' means that it performs a determined operation. Liesche is quite aware of that. In shady mouths and shady evils, you've probably been told many times,

'Not', 'Not', 'Wrong'

What a word. So Leishe is trying to do the determined behavior, unconsciously and accurately.

Combining these, she cares about her gaze and can't move as much as she wants, and the trauma of the past, which points out that 'shapes' are different, doesn't make her sword move out.

Therefore, when I am alone, I can move without worrying about my gaze or trauma. So you can fight the Warcraft. Though there would have been no consciousness.

"All right, Lieche. Change of ops."

"Huh?"

"All I have to do is take the exam to a form where I can manage to get Leishe to do it right, and then you can do all you can with that exam."

"Well, what's the exam..."

"I'm not telling you now, I can't believe you're sleeping now and resting your body. When you wake up, don't let it happen that you can't move because of lack of sleep."

Leishe seemed a little unconvinced, but she fell asleep in bed, like reluctantly.

"... ok, I'll take care of it"

"Then let's go."

Unlocking my skills, I smiled thinly. [M]

◇ ◇ ◇

"- So Leishe can fight one-on-one if she doesn't have a sight around her."

"Heh, but wouldn't you be able to do it if they were your father?

What Finia says is yours too. Even if it's one-on-one, the opponent is not the Warcraft, but the Knights Commander. Someone who knows no more about sword moves, and now it seems impossible to fight itself.

"Well, it's up to you, Lieche,"

"You've thought that far and the important part is throwing round! Mr. Stonehenge, you're so clueless!

"Well, I only gave you a little advice at the end... it would be light in my words with little combat experience"

At that time, after talking to Odysama earlier and reaching a conclusion, I said my words to Leishe.

"Fight him because you think he's a normal father, not a knight leader."

Lieche was somewhat of a nod, but it's up to Lieche to actually move.

"Huh... sleepy, ran around today... tired"

"Yeah, you asked everyone in the guild, Ella and the city to come home early! From the time you wake up to the time of the exam, 'Don't let Leishe feel your gaze'!

Not at all, just a good place to work.

But this is all I ever worked for for a girl - is she a little hot?

With that in mind, my consciousness was grabbed by the sleeper.
