Maou No Utsuwa

Royal National College In-School Swordsmanship Competition. Finally, that final begins.

The opponent had an Oscar team coming up in due course. Four to one for Deefleet's team opponents. It is a victory.

Hildegand's team on the other hand has won all so far. It was exactly what the final deserved.

Before the final showdown, Kamui is in a good mood. Get out in front of the Hildegands in line and start your last job.

"Well, finally, the real deal"

"Yes."

"Needless to say, it's not comparable to previous teams."

"Right."

"But you can win! Trust your efforts!

"" "Yes!" "" "Oh!

After putting everyone in the mood like this, it's individual instruction.

"First, Mr. Mathieu."

"Yes."

"No Opponent Info This Time"

"What?"

"This is for everyone. In the actual battle, there is no information about the opponent across the street. The finals are real. So I'm going to have you fight as a real battle."

Workout for the competition. That's not what Kamui asked for. It's more of a workout than that, but the competition is just a place to practice.

"Yes, I understand."

"Mathieu, please fight with all your strength now. If you can do that, you can win or lose."

"... Yes"

You have no chance of winning. That's what Kamui says. Turns out, Mathieu looks depressed all at once, but quickly regains his mind with Kamui's words that follow.

"Providing all your strength may be harder than winning. Without feeling it, with a normal mind. Feel the difficulty of doing it in this battle."

"Okay!

The competition is not the goal. The ambition is further ahead. With the correct understanding of Kamui's intentions, Mathieu regained his temper.

"And Mr. Gilberto"

"Yes."

"Mr. Gilberto......, you may lose this match"

"No!?

Clearer sayings than against Mathieu.

"Powerfully, the opponent is one step up. But there will never be a battle."

"Yes, but..."

"Same as Mr. Mathieu. Please do your utmost. And know you lost."

"I...!"

It was Gilberto who tried to argue with Kamui's words, but blocked it and Kamui went on to talk.

"You may think you know the loss, but the opponents are the Hildas. Even if you lose, Mr. Gilberto is convinced."

"... Indeed"

"Please know the loss I'm not convinced of. I could have won if I had worked out more. Knowing that kind of remorse will help."

Let this loss feed the future, Kamui says:

"... ok"

"Please don't ever give up. Losses you give up don't feed you anything."

"Oh."

Even if we lose, we do everything we can. Gilberto carves Kamui's words into his chest.

"Mr. Rank."

"Oh."

"Please win. Mr. Rank must not lose."

"I'm going to."

"The only good thing Mr. Rank loses is Hilda"

"Become?"

Kamui's demands were far higher than Rank thought.

"You may not win now. But one day Mr. Rank will be able to beat Mr. Oscar."

"I'm with Lord Oscar..."

"Not only today, but beyond, I can't lose. Bear it and keep fighting."

"Okay!

That it is undefeated. It is the dream of those who seek strength. Once again, the dream made Rank his own.

"Mr. Mathias."

"Oh."

"Please win, Mr. Mathias."

"Just like rank."

"No, you don't. Mr. Matthias carries Mr. Matthias' back, Mr. Matthew and Mr. Gilberto. Mr. Mathias can't afford to lose to remain their goal."

"... ok"

Once his gaze turned to Matthews, Matthias nodded loudly.

"And Hilda"

"Yes!"

"Win!"

"Yes!"

"That's all."

"Kamui......"

Hildegand fell asleep wondering if there was any advice for him again this time. But that's right, before the last fight, there's no way Kamui is going to end this.

"The only good thing about Hilda losing..., is me!

"Yes!"

The Hildegand team is in a good mood.

◇ ◇ ◇

And the match began.

"Right!

Kamui's voice is echoing through the venue. Before the match, I was Kamui, who avoided advice, but when things started, I completely forgot about it.

"Back off! The poke is coming!

In response to Kamui's voice, Matthew lowers back. Plus, I'm a beat late, and my opponent's poking has grown.

At that time, Matthew had enough time. Conversely, he hung up on his disfigured opponent.

"All right! Attack him!

"Oh, you know, Kamui"

"What? I'm busy right now"

"If I teach you so much from the side, Matthew is more than capable"

"... ah! I forgot!

"... let's be quiet, shall we?

"Yes."

But it's too late. Matthew, who entered the offense, pushed off his opponent as he did to get the win.

vanguard. The Hildegand team got a win.

"Eh, better thank you"

"I'm sorry. I was obsessed and I said too much from the side"

"No. That helped. But......"

"What is it?

"How do you know how they move so much?

"That's..., to Mr. Mathieu, a little further. Once the foundations have been consolidated."

"Really? Okay."

While we're talking about that, the next sharp battle begins.

"... oh.... No, there you go."

I stopped screaming, Kamui, but I still couldn't keep my eyes shut. Bumps and squeals in a small voice.

"Kamui."

"I didn't tell you"

"I know that. I was just talking about it. How can you read the other person's movements?

"You can even read Hilda, right?

"To some extent. Not as good as Kamui."

"... how are you reading it?

"Eyes, feet, shoulder movements…, that's what it is"

"I think that's a good idea?

"Kamui is cutting it off faster than I am."

Kamui's whining from earlier said ahead of Hildegand's thinking. Hildegand wants the secrets that make the difference.

"... that's where we start. Next thing you know, blur the whole thing."

"With a blur? Can you still see it?

Kamui's explanation was outside Hildegand's expectations.

"You mean you can see it, remember? That's what I explained to Celle earlier."

"Tell me"

"Hilda can jump when she jumps up, without bending her knees, without even leaning forward?

"... I don't think I can jump"

"Yes. Conversely, if I bent my knee, leaned forward, I could tell I was willing to jump. This is a bit of an extreme example. Actually, I can make other moves from there."

Kamui began to explain the same explanation he had made Serene.

"... Read that?

"Yes. Preliminary motion is the one. From the posture I just mentioned, I can jump back up and forward. But there's a difference between when you jump up and when you jump back. If you find that too, you can read it back and forth."

"Reasonably, yes."

I can't imagine how many there are, such as people's movements. I had no idea Hildegand could remember that.

"We need to remember every move. Most of what Hilda said about gaze and shoulder movement, it squeezes quite a bit, so it's not enough."

"Still..., wow"

"Just be aware at all times. I wonder how people move when they walk on a daily basis. Look at all kinds of people, know what they have in common, remember the basics"

"Eh."

"When you remember the basics, you are also good at application. If it's a move different from the basics, and you're making the same move, it's a potential habit of the person. Then I look there, and the person..."

That's what I always keep thinking about how I can be strong, keep trying, what I find. No matter how much Kamui runs out of words, it's not something you'll soon find out.

"I'm sorry. I knew I'd ask you later. Packing it up before the game is going to freak me out."

That's Hildegand too, once he gave up.

"Right. That's good."

So Kamui also returned his gaze to the match. Gilberto was just about to lose.

"Have you lost?"

"Right."

"But you did your best. I fought longer than I expected."

"Really?"

As a result of the next sharp battle, the victory and defeat were one-on-five minutes. Mid-level battle next. It's a rank match.

"Are they strong?

"Strong. From Mr. Rank"

"What? But don't lose the rank"

"Mr. Rank is strong. But Mr. Rank, he's spoiled third. Then no."

"You want me to be stronger than Matthias?

"I said Hilda was the only one who could lose."

"Right.... With that said, you have to beat Kamui?

You can lose to yourself, and having to beat Kamui is a contradiction for Hildendo.

"Well."

"Will you be able to win?

"If Mr. Rank gets stronger, I'll make him look stronger. I'm not willing to lose."

"Then what's the rank?"

After all, Kamui's advice was strange. That's what I thought, Hildegand.

"Feelings. Mr. Rank has a character that changes a lot of strength with that. If we go in the right direction, my ratings will change."

"... you were giving proper advice"

"Naturally. That's what I do. Here we go."

A mid-level battle was launched. As much as I wonder what their ratings are, such as Kamui being strong, Rank is attacking.

"... push it off.... Don't stop.... intact."

Also, Kamui groaned with bumps. Now Hildegand won't talk. Likewise, I was passionate about the battle.

"Don't stop! Push!"

Kamui's scolding voice flew as soon as the ranked sword he kept attacking showed loosening.

"Whoa, whoa!!

Rank grows roaring in order to increase your feelings that are about to break off. The sword to be wielded regained its power again.

The other person can't follow that sudden change. Rank swords were struck where momentum pushed him into disposition.

"Yay!" "I won!

"Whoa, whoa!!

Rank's roar of victory echoed the venue.

That's two wins, one loss. The Hildegand team has won.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Sorry. Thanks for the help."

The voice of Kamui. Rank knows that it has supported him.

"Next time, don't give up without the voices around you"

"Oh. Okay."

Rank survived the challenge even with support. It's Matthias' turn next.

"Well, I'll be there"

"Good luck, Matthias"

"Yes. You can't lose. It's not that easy to catch up with the ranks."

"Right."

"Let me still carry my rank"

"Yeah, I hope so."

Normally, he answers, but Hildegand is quite surprised from the inside by a strong statement that is rare to Mathias.

Without knowing Hildegand's feelings, this was also unusual and Matthias moved forward, wielding atmospheres such as temperament around him.

"You provoked it, didn't you?

"A little."

"I've never seen Matthias like that before"

"The lack of fear is actually the same as Mr. Matthew. In Matthias' case, it's not about character, it's about being too sophisticated."

"You said it was a beautiful sword."

"Yes. It needs to turn into sharpness, not sophistication. Unlike sophistication, sharpness has something to fear"

"Right."

And Mathias' match begins.

Does the temper reflect, Matthias' sword has the sharpness Kamui wants. Without showing any gaps, hunt down your opponent one by one with precise sword muscle.

"Look, I'm afraid"

"... right"

"When you can do that thing perfectly, it breaks their hearts. So I win."

"Yeah, you win"

"It would be awesome if you could do that to any opponent and not break your heart on the contrary."

"My own heart?

"Yes. Fight to make them feel spared so that they don't show a gap in their minds to someone stronger than themselves. No matter how anxious you are inside."

"Psychological warfare."

"It's a fight, too. All right, I won."

With his opponent perfectly held in, Matthias put aside the win. This is the moment when Hildegand's team is set to win.

But no one on the team's face has the color of joy yet. Everyone thinks it's Hildegand winning that's the real winner.

"Okay, I'll be there"

"Oh, come win"

"Yes!"

Hildegand and Oscar across the street.

Hildegand, as well as the opposing Oscar, have a temperamental face. The team's victory and defeat were decided, but this battle of generals wagered the College's strongest title. That's what Oscar thinks. It means I'm in the mood.

Hildegand is seemingly loosely ahead along with the signal of initiation.

But that sword speed is fast enough to override everyone's expectations. Without losing correspondence with it, Oscar collapsed significantly behind him.

Hildegand's sword is waved as it folds there.

The combination of a few swords means that Oscar is just as good, but the resistance is still there.

"Ha!

Hildegand's sword, shaken up with temper, jumps Oscar's sword into space.

"... here we go"

For a moment the venue quiets back to what can be described as the victory of Hildegand.

And the venue trembled the next moment.

"" "Whoa, whoa!

It was the moment when the College's strongest title in Hildegand proved itself.

◇ ◇ ◇

A few days after the college swordsmanship competition. Kamui stood in front of Empress Sophilia with a grumpy face completely different from the one she had at the competition.

"You did it. Kamui."

If Empress Sophilia summoned me to come to the castle, my first voice was this. I knew immediately what Kamui was talking about, but it's not a convincing dialogue.

"What do you mean?

With that said, Kamui's gaze was not toward the Sophilia Empress, but toward the faces lined up behind her.

In contrast, Deefleet, who is rarely here, and Empress Claudia, who has a dark spot behind her, look bitter.

Theresa was the only one staring at Kamui.

"It's about the Royal College Swordsmanship Games."

"If that's the case, more and more, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember doing anything I could blame."

"I made my name Hildegand of the Oriental House."

"That's not my fault. Why don't you blame the losers? Look, I'm behind you. Those people."

Kamui is not even trying to hide his own displeasure when he says he is in front of the Sophilia Empress. That creates anxiety in the heart of Princess Sophilia.

"... I heard you helped Hildegand."

"I lent Dee a rutz before that. I helped Hilda's team in exchange for you to admit it."

"Did you have to do that on purpose? Dee will be my companion later. Unconditionally, isn't it normal to support Dee?

Unconditionally, this idea of the Empress Sophilia is also what makes Kamui grumpy, but Kamui's grumpiness now has already reached its limit. The words of Princess Sophilia were to be spoken.

"So you want me to make Hilda a a loan? Am I the only one who has trouble telling you to give it back when you have to?

"It's..."

"Give up a hundred steps, even if it's just me, I don't know if I can do it this time."

"But if you help Dee,

"But I lost. It's only been about three months and people aren't that strong."

"But I heard Oscar lost too. Doesn't that mean Hildegand got stronger?

"That's what Mr. Oscar deserves. I know you can put your workouts behind you and train other members."

"Really?

"Yes. I'm not saying that's a mistake. Mr. Oscar is not going to be a swordsman, he's going to be a cavalier."

It is Oscar's role to strengthen the regiment. Kamui sincerely believes that it is a good thing to be praised if you understand it.

"Right. I mean, what about the Hildegands?

"They can't be the Knights Commander. You won't even be willing to be. Each is just trying to be strong as a swordsman."

"... yes"

"If I don't teach, Hilda's team will win. I didn't mean to help you decide what to do."

"You have no objection. Could it have been a mistake to say Kamui and win?

"That's not true. I'm more honest, so I just don't get to win."

"Yes. Good, then. I'm sorry I got weird involved. Because everyone says Kamui did something extra."

"Everyone?

Even if Empress Sophilia is convinced, Kamui's feelings do not subside.

"... except Dee"

"Then I understand. Is that all you're talking about?

"Yeah, that's right. What can I do for you? That's an excuse, too. Whatever, because if you don't make errands, Kamui won't come to the castle."

"Is that really all?

This is where Kamui's backlash begins. There's no way Kamui is still being hit.

"That's right. Is there anything else?

"I think so... well, it's none of my business."

Kamui to try to put it in a reminiscent way.

"Hey? Don't make sense. What do you got?

Plus, Princess Sophilia ate it.

"That's what you should ask the people behind you?

"Klau!?

"Yes!

"Did you, again, do something!?

"... hey, nothing"

"You lied! There's no way Kamui's doing this, is there?

"Wow, I don't know. But I don't know..."

"What is it?"

"The other guy, that, that was crazy."

"... I don't know what that means. What do you mean?"

"It's..."

The atmosphere is that Princess Claudia cannot find an answer to the question of Princess Sophilia. It's not a question you can talk about even if you know the answer.

"Dee?"

"What, me?

"You know that, don't you?

"I don't want to say it out of my mouth."

Deefreet refused to speak clearly. The only reason I refuse to be clear is because Deefreet has nothing to do with it.

"Bye, Theresa."

"Shh, excuse me!

Theresa, full of obnoxious feelings, just has to apologize.

"I'm asking what I did."

"Excuse me......"

"... you can't, Kamui. I'm sorry, but can you tell me from your mouth?

"Mr. Theresa resents me."

"Good, tell me!!

At last, Princess Sophilia will be paralyzed for not trying to tell her the answer as one person. But even with the attitude of Empress Sophilia, I am not a wandering camouflage.

"Is that where I get yelled at? I don't think so. Don't you think? Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia."

"Oh, yeah."

"Right? Now, please speak for yourself."

"Mm, I can't do that."

"That's what the world calls cowardice. Well, it's already cowardly what you did, isn't it?

"... sorry"

"Please tell me already. What did the Crows do?

To Kamui, who seemed to feel nothing of her anger, the Empress Sophilia therefore regains her composure. That's a short time before I know the facts, too.

"Hey, give me eight hundred."

"Ha!? You're lying!?

"Unfortunately for that. As obvious as I think no one has ever seen those eight hundred sighted men."

"Klau, what have you done?

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't even know that was happening to me!

"Theresa!"

"Shh, excuse me! With a heart of honor!

"What do you think... is acceptable?

"... no"

"How far is this fact known?

"Normally, almost every student, teacher who was watching the competition, too. I think some people thought it was strange even in the audience that I was just here to see in my spare time. As I said earlier, the person who couldn't possibly lose lost lost."

"That sucks."

"It sucks. Well, the bad guy is Mr. Therese, so I was wondering if the criticism would rise to Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia."

"Really?

"I did so arbitrarily. Was it unnecessary?

"No, thank God. Thanks."

"It's no big deal. Because we all think Mr. Therese is bad."

"Yes. So what happens next?

"Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia bows her head to her opponent"

"Wouldn't that be a little white?

"Instead of apologizing for the eight hundred, it's a thank you for your attention. I still haven't noticed the Princess Claudia. That's what I'm gonna do."

"Is that good?

"I don't know. But that's all that's clear. There's only one way to apologize or pretend not to know. If His Royal Highness Princess Claudia admitted to the Eight Hundred and knew about it, I wouldn't know what would happen. Will the college pretend not to see it?

"... I don't even know that."

"Then let Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia decide. Which would you prefer?

"I..., I really didn't know"

"Then I still need to know. Can you act well?

"... work hard"

"You don't have to go all the way to the other guy. To the extent that I greet you lightly at that time, such as a mistake. Mr. Therese."

"You should apologize."

Even though I thought I'd done something wrong, it was Theresa, who would get rebellious when Kamui told me.

"Please run."

"Huh?"

"The shittiest guy to escape the scene for fear of finding out he set up the 800. So I'll go."

"... you need that?

"Required. May I? Mr. Theresa is a terrible woman."

"Hey!"

"Oh, I got the wrong end of the story. You have to be considered the worst woman. That will help Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia. You understand this, don't you?

"Oh, oh."

"Then with the shitty woman. You look like the worst woman, and please get off the spot. And everyone fingers me as the worst woman, and I act like the worst woman, and I don't know how to live with it. And more and more, with the worst woman."

"Hey! You need that!?

"Required"

"There's no way you can do that!

Even if I'm serious about reflection, Theresa still can't stand it when Kamui blames me.

"I'm sorry you did the worst!?

And Kamui has no mercy for Theresa either.

"Shut up!"

"Whoa, I reopened it. You fucking bitch!

"You suck, don't say suck!

"Because it sucks, I'm saying it sucks! I will never forgive someone who insults my sword!

"When did I insult the sword!?

"You insulted me!? It's not an insult, it's not an insult, it's a sword tournament!?

"It's..."

"I don't deserve to have a sword on you! Don't ever hold a sword again!

"Oh no..."

"Apologize to the sword! Apologize now! Now apologize!"

"... excuse me"

"I won't allow it!

"Don't you say that!

We're serious, but it's an exchange that makes it seem like we're kidding each other if you're listening around. In fact, Princess Sophilia thought so.

"Hey, could you two be close?

"" That's not true!

Words of denial overlap.

"... who are you talking to?

"" Excuse me ""

Out of the blue, maybe even if we're really not close, we feel comfortable. That's how Princess Sophilia felt. Guess we'll never admit it.
