Main battle.

Finally, this is the time. The game is in tournament form, with all fourteen teams winning the qualifying round competing.

Among other things, the top two teams in the qualifying points can earn seed rights. Our team is second in this massive sorcery battle, Magics War. Only a small difference makes the team: Forst comes first.

For that reason, it would be the final if there were ever to be a hit with the team: Forst.

Essentially, the better the team is supposed to receive the total points earned for the qualifying round is the massive sorcery battle Magics War.

"... in the morning"

I squeal bossly. In the morning, pleasant sunshine enters the room. But I felt a certain discomfort.

That's not true, but I can't hear Evie snoring.

I basically get used to waking up at 5: 00 in the morning, but Evie doesn't like it in the morning.

Even so, I can't hear him snoring today.

I mean, I guess it's already awake.

That's how I headed to the living room, where I saw Evi encouraging me to muscle tread with tons of sweat even though it was winter.

I also start muscle treading there when I'm naked, just like him.

Sweat gently to avoid being the burden of today's game only. Then Evi giggles nicely, offering me protein.

"There you go. Ray."

"Helpful"

When I drink up the protein I get, I place the con and its cup on the table.

"Ray, you've come this far at last"

"Oh. Right."

Gaze at each other. Only this time, we're on the enemy team. And when you hit it, it's the final.

I wouldn't be rolling like this.

"If it's going to hit the Rays, it's going to be the final."

"It's the finals... are you okay there?

"Probably going to hit with the team: Hartnet if it goes right"

"Team: Hartnet? You're tough."

"That's what I thought when I saw the game. But we're gonna win."

That was not the kind of vanity. As I think recently, Evi's skills as a magician are even better than before.

The same goes for muscle tresses, but they seemed to encourage training almost every day.

Also, when it comes to our A-League, first place is the team: Olgren. The second place is on the team: it's a heartnet.

We won all the leagues in the qualifying round. I decided to pass at the top. And the team: Hartnett was second-place confirmed without losing to a team other than us.

Their game was watched in other ways, but the offensive battle in witchcraft is still first-class.

In the first place, because few students are used to fighting in the woods, it was often a sorcery battle, and the team: Hartnett had many overwhelming matches.

"I wasn't sure when to ask about this..."

Evie threw a few questions at me.

"Is Ray acquainted with my father?

"Maybe you were watching...?

"Ah. From a distance, but you look chilling. No, I always wondered what it was like."

I was wondering when that would only come. And I thought we should talk someday.

Yes, I know Evie's father. That, too, belonged to the same team. He was equally trained under his master to eat the same meal and experience the same battlefield.

His name is Delk-Armstrong.

During the Far East battle, Delk said:

He said he had a kid my age, and he was trying to get a sense of distance.

military, but hence it was extremely rare to go home. Besides, our team is at the forefront of the Far East campaign.

Unlike me, many people have a place to go home.

And he was also saying to me that he could hardly get home.

─ ─ He wants me to be friends with his son one day. Because they already hate me.

At first sight, I knew that Delk's son was Evi. That's because they look terribly alike. Its overwhelming body size and the white teeth you see when Nica laughed couldn't help but recall him.

Delk like that, he's still a soldier.

Unlike us, I never got discharged. For that reason, you probably still have a sense of distance with Evi.

Against that background, I was hesitant... but the time seemed to come.

"Delk-Armstrong. I called him Delk, but I belonged to the same unit as him. You're a comrade."

That said, Evie only distorted her face a little.

"Well... I've been thinking since I heard that Ray participated in the Far East Battle. Besides, I saw the game and thought. Ray has something similar to his father."

"Really?

"Somehow... but that's what I was intuitively thinking"

"Right."

So again, he shuts up. Then he spun the words a little anxiously.

"Did Dad say anything about me?

……

Should I be honest with you? Can I pinch someone else's mouth on a parent-child problem?

Get lost.

But I decided to be honest with you because I thought this was fate, too.

"Delk said from time to time. He said he had a son my age and he remembered how distant he was. He said it was his fault that he couldn't get home much. But when I heard the story, I thought. Delk does say that he loves Evi..."

"Oh well..."

I've never seen Evi's depressed, lost face.

And I go on with the words.

"He said he wanted to see his son and his wife when the Far East battle was over, but you met him?

"Only once...... I meant an admission celebration, and we ate together as a family"

"How'd it go?

"After all, I've been leaving my mother alone for a long time. There's something I think about my father. Even if you know that's my ego. Looks like he's back home regularly now... but you misplaced him with me."

"I see. I think this is an extra favor..."

Actually, I met Delk the other day. That was when I was heading to the Circular Arena Colosseum to watch the game.

Perhaps Evie witnessed it then. Look what Delk and I are talking about.

"Ray? Is that Ray!!

"... is that Delk? Long time no see."

"Oh! Really, it's been a long time!

Delk, who cut that hair up just like Evi and had an overwhelming gigantic body, looked very healthy. This will be my first reunion in years, but it doesn't seem the same as before.

"Do you play Far East?

"Right. The last time we saw each other was after the war."

"Right. You've grown. And Ray's a student... it's kind of emotional."

Nica, showing her white teeth and laughing. That look still resembled Evi.

"So, what did Delk do? Watching the game?"

"As it were, well... that sort of place, huh?

"Maybe you've come to see Evi's game"

"What!!?

He is an easy man to understand. He raises his eyebrows and easily exposes his surprised expression. To the master, "Delk is straight, for better or worse. I don't hate simple fools," he said.

I didn't really understand that word at a young age, but I can really understand that now.

"Well...... that. My son's leaving, so he wants to see it. hehe."

Rubbing the nose while illuminating is also the same. Something really similar, I think. Parents and children.

And I decided to go straight to the point.

"Delk. I'm spending time in the same dorm room as Evie right now"

"... what? Seriously?"

"Ah. Apparently, you haven't heard."

"Right...... right. My son and I are still not close. Ha ha!

Laughing out loud, but it was obviously a cheerful way to laugh. Apparently, that certainty was still there. But Delk is about to walk over... I could see that.

"So, the... is he doing well?

"Just like me, I encourage the muscle tread a lot"

"Oh well... are you still doing this? That guy."

Squeeze and groan. That was an emotional word that seemed just a little happy.

I get the feeling that the word means something else.

"Maybe it's Delk's influence that Evi is encouraging to muscle tread?

"Hmm? Ah. When I was little, what could I do to protect my mother? He asked me. Keep your muscles in there! And I was advising you. If I had muscles, I could do something about it. He said the magic would follow later... well. Glad to hear that."

Delk smiles happily as he only slightly breaks his face.

I was happy to see his face like that. We've come a long way from each other. Thus standing on this occasion with the satisfaction of the five bodies was battling through such a battlefield that it seemed a miracle.

Often Delk said ominous things in a way that made it seem like "Me, I'll see my son and his wife when this battle is over..." but I think it was really good to see that happen.

This hand joke was a common story in our troops, but we were so hunted down that we couldn't afford to say that in the final battle of the Far East Battle.

Given that, it's something that often gets emotional when it's something that stands here.

"Speaking of which, I saw Ray's game too, but are you okay with that?

"If the magic realm runoff" Overheating, "we're on the way to improving"

"Well... but now Ray's the [ice sword], not the captain, right? And I didn't know the students were doing it... it's really early."

And when I blossomed into the story of the past just a little bit, I decided to be frank. I'm sure that's a sign of growth. If it was me in the past, it was a word I couldn't say.

"Delk. Evi is definitely growing. And what am I supposed to say... I think we could walk a little further. I think Evi is going to take that.

……

Delk then gives a pocan look. A man in the face often, but only this time he had the look of saying he was heartfelt surprised.

"What's up? You look so surprised."

"No, I'm surprised. I can't believe that word came out of Ray. Could it have changed since you joined the academy?

"Right, right. I think I'm changing a little bit because I have many friends."

"Well... did Ray have a friend the same age"

"Evie's one of them."

"I'm really glad about that. Ray, stay close to Evie."

"Of course."

We interacted.

Speaking lightly about it, Evie looked surprised again, too.

Something really similar, I think. Parents and children. And we're both still alive. You shouldn't be happy with that now. I'm sure Evie knows that, too. In the Far East battle, there were numerous deaths. There were many who left this world, even from our troops.

I then heard from Evi. I have some thoughts about my father. But he said he was glad to be back safely from the Far East battle... he told me he hadn't been able to put it into words yet, yes he tended to lean over.

I told him that.

"Evie. I'm sure Delk is watching the game. So you can't play an impudent game, can you?

When I say so, Evi hits and changes and laughs niggly.

"Hehe. Right! If my dad's watching, I can't expose him to anything unusual!

That looked like a very happy face. Just like Delk.

I was hoping that one day the distance between the two of us would shrink more...
