Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan

The day after Chris and I reunited.

I had a lunch break at the school, and for some reason, Elicia was staring at me.

"You like older people?

Tilt your neck to Elysia's abrupt remarks.

But soon, I understood the intention.

"... are you talking about yesterday?

"That's right. That woman who was in front of the school gate, she was beautiful."

I saw this conversation between me and Elisia when Gran and Mize were curious.

Exhale unexpectedly. Seems completely misunderstood.

"That's my ex-boss"

"My boss? I said... you were in the cleaning business until you came to school?

"Oh. So it doesn't mean anything special. I just came by yesterday to see if I was doing okay at school."

"... Phew. You've been very concerned."

Elysia looked at me with a frigid eye.

For a moment, I thought you were baking even the yakitori, but you suspect I'm going to say one thing or another about this. Apparently I'm still a "suspicious guy" to Elisia.

"Something happened yesterday?

"I care too"

Gran and Mize ask about the topic earlier.

To be honest, it's going to be the same development again.

Thinking about how to delude...

"Hey, you"

From behind, I can call someone.

Looking back, there was Sieg in the family of heroes. There are two of them around.

"Sieg......"

Elisia stares at Sieg by revealing her vigilance. Naturally. Yesterday, Sieg's attempt to raise his hand to the citizens of the King's Capital is still new to his memory.

"Sure, you said Tweet."

"... oh. What can I do for you?

"Apply for a duel with you"

To Sieg's word, the classroom quieted down.

Duel. I know what that word means on a boulder. It was originally a measure to dispel the rubbing between the nobles, a word that expressed the commitment of the parties to wager each other's pride and fight one-on-one. But as the times progressed, the tide became stronger that it was barbaric to resolve rubbing by force, and recently fewer aristocrats have taken a duel, he said.

By duel, Sieg would mean, in short, "formal quarrel".

I mean, I'm being politely sold a fight. "I'm afraid, could we have a one-on-one fight with you from now on?".

"You seem surprised, but this is by no means uncommon. Several times a year at Builders School, there seems to be a duel between students. And the majority of the reasons for this, he said, were due to civilians poking at nobles. … well, it seems that you are unfamiliar at all times."

"... I don't remember poking at nobles."

"White. - I'm not saying I forgot about two days ago!

Sieg barks.

After all, I sighed inside out about it.

"You worked disrespectfully on me, a man of the Falceon family, being a civilian! If you do that in my realm, I'll hit you in the neck right away! You are already a man to be judged!

Elysia, who sees her, speaks to the claim.

"Sieg. Forgot the Builders School Rules? While I'm a student at this school, the identity system doesn't work. Civilians, nobles and even royalty stand on equal footing as long as they are students at Builders School."

"May fly! If you look sweet because you're the same hero family, you're in good shape too!

Sieg is beaten to death by Elisia.

But Gran, who was beside him, grabbed it and stopped it.

"Hey, duel hasn't even started yet,"

"Let go, civilians"

"Oh, I'll let you go. - Next time, don't just grab it."

Gran stared sharply at Sieg.

Grant's violent intimidation made Sieg snort slightly.

"Bu, outsiders shut up. The only thing I need is a guy named Too Eight there."

That's what Zeke looked at me for.

I think as I get the attention of my classmates. It doesn't matter what you think about yesterday. But if we keep leaving Sieg's rampage unattended, he might one day jump fire on students other than us who are a party. So I bowed my head.

"I apologize if I disturbed you. So, will you forgive me?

"No. You will have your shame scratched in the eyes."

Sieg and his surroundings gave him a lowly grin.

"... that's a bad hobby"

"Not a hobby. Let me see this. Because it will be troublesome for civilians like you to keep showing up in the future. Once here - the pile that leaves must be struck."

I agree with Sieg that the surrounding circles are "yes, yes".

To the boulder, I was the limit of patience.

I'm still good at pushing anger to death - but I had strong feelings for Zeke.

I've never been sold a fight by a more childish person.

In a sigh, I tell you.

"I'm giving you a reason to say yes, but in the end, you just want revenge. There is no good reason for that duel. All you want is a naive feud."

I tell him in the dark that I'm not willing to respond to such a nasty thing.

Then Sieg turned his face bright red and shouted.

"Shut up!! You've hurt my honor! This is legitimate revenge!

To Sieg's fury, the students also gather from the hallway.

To that one word, it was - it wasn't me, it was Elysia - who reacted first.

"... revenge,"

Elysia's condition changes.

She fogged the hostility that was directed at Sieg and looked at me with a strange face.

"Too Eight.... how about taking it on?

I round my eyes to Elicia, who suddenly changed her attitude.

"... that's a sudden change of heart."

"Nobles who are unwilling to defend Zeke but think he has been discredited will persevere.... If you refuse here, it could be a hassle."

As good as it gets. That makes sense.

You're just choosing a means of dueling me, you mean better yet...

"Okay. Take the duel."

Reluctantly, Sieg laughed in an upbeat mood as if he were already convinced of the victory.
