Magics Chevalier, a magic swordsman's tournament, ended.

Final of this match.

Unlike previous Lucas-Forst games, Senior Rebecca never lost just a swing of a sword.

But...... even Senior Rebecca didn't win.

I knew. That seniors have the demonic eye of future prediction. That was easy to understand if you look at the battle so far.

The Demon Eye Holder has fought many times in his previous experience, and of course, has also fought a magician who had the Demon Eye of Future Prediction. That's why Senior Rebecca's, that was a pretty high standard thing...... Lucas-Forst was still a better 'wow'.

The last sword move he showed.

I saw it and remembered it clearly. Originally there were signs. There was a possibility in consciousness.

But that move... I guess that means I can use that secret sword.

"You are... a contemporary ice sword, aren't you?

……

After the finals of the main match, it was Lucas-Folst who showed up as cleaning the modem by himself.

I had a hunch. I'm sure he'll come to me.

"I didn't know the magician from Absolute Blade had taken over."

Tell.

That fact, pale.

Yes. Lucas-Folst's identity is that of one of the seven greatest sorcerers, the "Tortoise" sorcerer.

Although it has the name Mage, it is only a decoration. Its essence is just an overwhelming sword move. Among them, a magician with a knife blade has about ten special sword moves called secret swords.

No magician of the Absolute Blade will ever appear on the surface stage, and the only magician you know is probably the top magician.

Besides, I've met my predecessor Toru, but he hated public involvement. He was a man in his fifties, with long dark hair tucked together behind him, just like he did.

I've also seen some secret swords, but that was definitely the same one Lucas-Forst used in this main game final.

smiling invincibly niggardly, he was slightly leaking killing.

"I knew you'd understand?

"Oh. Look at that secret sword, there's no way you wouldn't notice it"

"Hehe... I knew it. I thought you'd notice."

"How did you get into the tournament? If you're a swordsman, you won't be able to use Magics Chevalier for this sorcery swordsman competition."

"I wanted to show you, to you"

"What do you mean?

A beautiful face that doesn't seem like the man suddenly loses his expression softly.

And he tells cold.

I want to fight the Ice Sword.

……

"I want to show you that the most powerful sorcerer is a knife striker."

"Is that all?

"Yep. That's all. That's why I got the top of Magics Chevalier for this year's Magic Swordsman Games."

"You want me to compete next year?

"That's right. But the enchantment realm runoff" Overheating "... please heal it well"

……

"Otherwise, we can't fight for real."

Did the blade say what he wanted to say, and he returns his heel as it were.

"See you next year. I'll be waiting for you at this magic swordsman competition, Magicus Chevalier."

I was staring at the way he was leaving.

A magician with a knife out.

Its strength is also regarded as proximity's strongest.

But still... they say the strongest of the magicians is the Ice Sword.

That feat, created by the Master, does not make me say whether or not. That's why I thought.

In order not to ruin this master's achievements, the strongest seat needs to be given way.

"Next year..."

I squeal bossly.

What's going on with my magic realm rampage, Overheat, next year? I don't know that myself. But if I may... I also want to fight like everyone else at this magic swordsman's tournament, Magics Chevalier.

I hope so.

The next day, the closing ceremony took place.

We watched Amelia get awarded there. Apparently, the treatment with witchcraft can't be fully healed, wrapped around the bandages... but Amelia's expression was sunny.

The winner, semi-finalist and third-place athlete will then be honored.

By the way, Albert's injuries in the battle with Ariane made it difficult to fight and undefeated and ostensibly.

In fact, I was imprisoned by Reaper Grimreaper... but I had already solved the matter.

Actually, Mr. Abby called me into the same room as before last night and asked me about the upside of things. Carol and her master weren't there for some reason, by the way. Said he was reflecting or something.

"Ray, I'm sorry. Suddenly call again."

"Mr. Abby, calling yourself here means... are you done?

"Ah. We're safe. I'm sorry I bothered you with your hands."

"No, that's fine... but the students in captivity..."

"We're all safe. Their purpose is kidnapping, not murder. Students didn't get a scratch."

"Really? Relieved."

"Carol's abilities have come in handy this time."

"Ruling Hellshaft, did you use it?

"Ah. After all, he's no different as a magician than the highest in the world."

"Right. That's what I admit."

"Ma, a summer date? Good luck with that."

"... that was a deal with the devil, but I will keep my word"

"Lydia was worried about a lot of things too... but Ray is a good old man too. You should take responsibility for yourself. He forgets me when it comes to you. Preach to the two of you who ran wild yesterday."

"Ha ha... Was it"

Apparently, Master and Carol were snugly squeezed by Mr. Abby. After that, I ended up listening to the details of Reaper's Grimm Reaper case, the aftermath case and other details.

And when I left the room, Mr. Abby threw a question at me with a gentle voice.

"Ray, did you enjoy the Magics Chevalier?

"Yes. It's been the best memory I've ever had. I want to have fun with everyone again next year."

"Right. You've changed, compared to old times."

The smile Mr. Abby showed seemed sincerely happy.

"Yes, is it?

"Oh. Ray has been that way for a long time, but you've become a sweeter person"

"... I'm sure that's because my friends taught me. And I'm sure we'll continue to work with everyone."

"Oh... right. Enjoy your life in college, then. It will be" Michi Snoring ", but I want you to say anything you need to know. Help."

"Thank you"

That's how I thank you, and I'm off the spot.

That's it for last night, and now we're all in the middle of watching the closing ceremony.

Next to Amelia was Ariane, who was even more worn out. She was supposedly having difficulty getting out of the closing ceremony, but she was coming out on this occasion with Amelia's hand. They're both bandaged, and from the side, they look painful.

But I didn't think so.

They're just on the stage, laughing at each other. I don't know what you're talking about, but I could well understand that smile was from the heart.

"Congratulations, Amelia!!

"Amelia! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Amelia!!

"Congratulations -!

Everyone in the support group says that to her.

Then you noticed this one, and Amelia waved at us with a smile on her face.

That's how when the rookie award came to an end, the next move was to the award for the main fight. Awarded by third place, it was Senior Rebecca's turn next.

Even though he lost to Lucas-Forst, his senior fought hard to the end. The wound was also apparently shallow, so it is coming straight out to the closing ceremony. Senior Rebecca was not sunny, but he stood on the spot with perseverance.

……

On the other hand, just expressionless, Lucas-Folst, a swordless sorcerer who stands up on the spot. He had received the award as it was, without even showing the lack of a smile.

And finally, the tournament was to be concluded in the words of Mr. Abby.

"Magics Chevalier, the Magic Swordsman Competition, is safely over. The rookie winner is Amelia-Rose. The winner of this match is Lucas-Forst. Congratulations to both of you on your wins. It was a great fight for both of us. But the rest of the game was great again. I was in a position to be a student, but I was shown a very high level game. And thank you to everyone who participated in this magic swordsman competition, Magics Chevalier, to the operators, and to the audience. This tournament also turned out to be remarkable. See you next year. I look forward to seeing you here."

Thus came the end of the Magicswordsman's Games, Magicus Chevalier.

Until this tournament, and in the tournament, I have accomplished so many things… I have got something important.

Along with my friends, I enjoyed the tournament… and decided to go along with Amelia. Touch her heart... I could accept my weakness as well.

People can't go alone.

So live in support of each other.

I have been, and will continue to be, with my loved ones.

Birds in the Cage "Basket".

If you describe Amelia-Rose, that would be most appropriate.

I know more about me than anyone.

Never get out of the cage, but put your wings on the ground.

But I... could fly out of that cage.

That's because everyone was there.

And... because Ray touched my heart.

Because you taught me what it means to live, to find out for yourself.

So I am no longer, Amelia-Rose, a bird in a cage. Instead of being in a cage called nobility, in this great sky, in the frame of this world, I... live with all of us.

I'm writing a diary right now. That's what I started to record who I was going to be.

Now I'm writing just after the tournament.

"Amelia (Chan), winner, oh my goodness!!

Celebration.

So I was getting celebrations from everyone at a restaurant in the city. Everyone in the Amelia Support Group celebrates vibrantly with crackers in their hands. He seems to be renting out today, and Ray said the director of the Environmental Investigation Department arranged it for him.

"Sa, Amelia! Eat up!

"Yeah, yeah! It was amazing, Amelia!

"Oh! Amelia was such a muscle, too!

"No... I don't think the muscles matter to me, but the... thanks, guys"

Smile with a dust.

That's not the kind of crop smile I've ever had.

I found out about this with Ray, but guys... I knew it. That I am false, etc. But there's nothing to say, and now he's just celebrating.

I just really, really appreciate it.

And when I think about it, my tears pour out. Yeah, I've been really crying lately. But this time, it was tears of joy.

"Ugh... Gusu... Mina... Thanks..."

When I'm extremely impressed and crying, Ray sitting next to me gives me a handkerchief.

"Amelia. You should use it."

"Yeah... Gu Gu... thanks..."

He talks to me as usual, Ray. But I was somewhere... embarrassed. He's always the same, but I still don't know what to say... it makes me feel weird. Strange, but I can only say that now. What the hell is this?

"Amelia, that was amazing!

That's what Elisa tells me as she shines her eyes.

"Ugh! Thanks!"

From there, I told everyone. Fighting in the finals, plus how important it was to fight Ariane and how happy I was to beat her.

All of that... I could tell you everything about myself.

I also apologized to everyone. Things I've never thought I could trust. But he laughed and accepted it.

Really I... I thought I could have had a great friend...

"Amelia. You were here."

"Ray......"

Everyone was making a fuss in the store now.

You even went in for alcohol on the way, and for some reason Clarice is drunk. Next up, Elisa, Evie, and the Environmental Investigation Department people started getting drunk for some reason, and it made a fuss. When Elisa said she was hot on the way and started undressing, I did it on the inside! I thought so, but there are men, so I stayed dead.

Because those boobs are mine! Don't give it to anyone!

By the way, why don't we stay for the summer vacation? What a story. I will definitely take a bath with you then, so I would love to indulge you. Hehe......

And I don't care for that kind of conversation.

Now I was somehow... coming outside to cool off. There was a veranda just upstairs in the restaurant, so it was hitting the cold wind there. Ray came at such an arrow tip.

"Congratulations again, Amelia"

"Yeah. Thanks"

Temporary silence.

But I didn't hate that.

Just being with Ray helped me calm down.

But that... when I think about that time... that, I mean, I'm so embarrassed... now that I think about that, it's like this, this, this confession... it's even gone away, it's the word of engagement...

No, I know. Of course, that's what I said as a friend. Neither Ray nor I had that sentiment. It's just that that's how we swore to move forward together.

But then I look at Ray's face, I wonder if it's weird that his body gets hot... no, its... I'm sure it's my fault! Yeah!

So I speak to him extremely calmly, yes, that's what I talk to my friend about. Yeah. Calm down, calm down.

My body is hot, I'm sure, because of everyone's enthusiasm.

"Oh, speaking of which... Ray was my ability, you knew?

"No, I didn't know strictly. However, during that training... you had a tremendous talent... and I thought the original magic was asleep."

"Oh well... but I do. The talent may indeed be innate. But it's the result of my hard work...?

"It would be obvious. The inherent magic Origin is not an area that can be reached without any effort. That's proof that Amelia's been working so hard. So congratulations. Heartfelt Blessings"

"Thank you, Ray. Thank you so much..."

Without Ray, I would have always been a bird in a cage.

But thanks to him, I could be me.

So really, I just have to thank Ray.

"Hey, Ray."

"What's up?

Naturally I hold his hand softly. I don't need any more words, and he accepts them, too.

We make sure each other's body temperature is alive here... while I immerse myself in a feeling of well-being between bundles.

"That."

"What?

"It's summer vacation, but won't you come to us?

"To Amelia's home?

"Yeah... you know. I told your mother about Ray. Oh, I didn't tell you about the ice sword, did I? But... when I say I've made good friends, I say bring them here... and I'm glad you're here, too."

"Absolutely. I still have plans for the summer vacation. I want you to let me go."

"Ugh!!

I'm not alone anymore.

I think so again.

When I looked at the sky, the stars were shining the most.

I want to live a brilliant life under this planet too - I hoped so.

"Amelia, hey!

"Amelia!"

"Amelia!

"Whoa! Amelia, let's go!

"Yeah! Wait a minute!

I wanted to write more, but I guess that's enough.

Moments, wind comes in through the window.

It's paralyzing and turning the page...... the diary closes.

And there was a picture of a big bird winging in the sky.

When I bought this diary, I decided to buy it because of this design.

I'm not a bird in a cage anymore.

Because that's how I know it's a bird flying in this big sky.

Look up at the sky through the window.

Summer, clear and beautiful sky. The sound of the cicadas and this boiling heat all make up this summer.

Until now, I hated summer. Besides, I hated myself too. I hated it.

But now, this summer, I love myself. Everyone loved it, too.

"Amelia! I'm leaving you!

I can hear Ray.

We all promised to go play in the city today. We all start going home in a few days, so that's just the right opportunity.

"Wait! I'm coming!

That's how I turn to everyone's waiting.

Moment after moment, I heard a bird squeal.

Turning around...... I saw a bird dancing through the window into this great sky.

I'm sure I, too, like that bird... will be flying into this great sky from now on.

The birds in the basket freely acquire wings and fly this great sky high, high, everywhere...
