"Damn......"

I couldn't win.

Being an adventurer, I have made various requests on my own.

Even when it came to asking, it was just a chore job for beginners like splitting up in the woods to get herbs and driving away the night beasts in villages near Imperial Capital, but still doing the trick and winning my trust in the guild.

He worshipped down a senior adventurer and also taught him how to handle weapons.

I was confident.

I was also invited to a party.

I was going to be way ahead of Wynn, who hasn't been able to be a knight yet.

But if I tried to fight it, I couldn't seem to get my hands or feet.

On the contrary, a disastrous defeat in front of my favorite daughter I haven't seen in four years.

When I wielded the sword of my right hand, Winn's sword had already been poked at my nose tip.

I couldn't look directly at the sight of Letty leaning against Winn with a brilliant dazzling smile on her face, and Abel just jumped into her room without a word, grabbing her luggage and jumping out.

I wanted to leave the scene a little early.

It was still early for rally time, but he ran into the Adventurer's Guild as if escaping.

A party of admiring adventurers I even dreamed of.

In the guild, if you go to the client with the people you will be with this time, you will not have to think about the battle with Winn.

That's what I thought.

Abel sighed deeply as she walked around the end of that party of adventurers, which she should have even dreamed of.

"What's going on? Abel."

"... Mr. Riggs"

While I was thinking, sometime there was a giant man walking in line next door.

Axeman Riggs.

A senior who was the leader of this adventurer party and invited Abel.

He was also a veteran adventurer at a glance in the Adventurer's Guild in Imperial Capital, and also served as a compiler for multiple adventurer parties gathered in this bandit crusade.

"He said he had a dark face before work. So, did the woman shake you?

"Ugh..."

Abel gets poked at a picture star and gets stuck in words.

"Waha, it's a star. So, what kind of daughter is he?

"Mr. Riggs is also a daughter I know..."

"Hmm? When it comes to the daughter I know, is that Mira from the 'Flowers of the Moon and Night' pavilion? Or Meryl at the 'Pebble by the Road' pavilion? Or Connie or something?

"... it's Letty."

Riggs cites the popular billboard daughters one after the other, even among the adventurers with a laugh.

Abel shrugged with such a stubborn look on his face

"Letty? Did Letty, uh, stick to Winn a lot?

"Yes, that's Mr. Letty."

Ask for Winn's name, Abel.

Riggs smiled and looked seriously at Abel's face.

"Letty, I can't do that."

"Oh, you can't"

"More so..."

"What the hell, guys!

Abel was outraged when she told her party buddies she couldn't even talk to Riggs.

Somewhere sympathetic that gaze irritated Abel.

"Because you, that girl..."

Letty - Leticia Van Mavis.

If you are an adventurer with some ability to gather information, it is naturally something you can grasp.

Especially for those who belonged to the Adventurer Alliance of the Imperial Capital, they are also adventurers of their own juniors.

Mixed up with the big adults, they went into and out of the Adventurer Guild and made chores, collections and other requests.

Initially they were ridiculous because they thought it was a child's play, but occasionally they saw the two of them using the guild's training facilities with their swords, gradually starting to take a glance.

They showed off that extraordinary swordsman, who I don't think is a child, and the runaway adventurers, who I don't remember in my arms, saw the two of them, so much so that they were behind the shivers and the training facility.

Eventually, as Leticia stopped showing up and Wynn was enrolled after saving up funds for admission to the Knights School again, she took fewer trips to the guild, but those two things that left an intense impression could not have been forgotten.

Later, whenever Leticia had many achievements everywhere as a brave man and the information was passed on as rumors, those who knew her childhood knew the difference between vessels and themselves.

"Hey, don't do it because I won't say anything bad. I can't do that girl."

"You wouldn't know that!

"By the way, don't you think Letty likes Winn?

"Ugh..."

Abel with a face but stuck in words.

Leticia has been following Win ever since she was young.

Seeing the exchange between the two after the match, it was discernible that Leticia had a special emotion for Wynn.

I don't want to admit it as Abel, but...

Even Riggs hasn't met Leticia immediately after her triumph as a brave man, but it's easy to imagine that she still admires Winn strongly from Abel's attitude.

First, it is also a difference of status in the first place.

Before she was a brave man, she was the princess of the great nobility, second only to the royal family called the Duke's Lady.

Anyway, if you're shooting her heart from the start like Winn, it's only reckless to get her heart out of an irrelevant state.

"Anyway, I'm not giving up! Name it and make another formal confession to her!

Abel clenches her fist and forcefully proclaims.

With such a slight bitter smile beside him, Riggs thought he would have to teach Abel the importance of gathering information when this job was done.

Focus, focus on your opponent's movements anyway.

Stopping moving anyway is more important in the fight against the fast moving wins than yourself wearing simple leather armor.

If it is the muscle strength of the lock that is enhanced by magic, it can be pushed off once it stops moving with an intermission.

Position the wooden shield in the front and observe Winn's movements.

He's the one I've been meeting in training for more than once.

To invite Winn to attack, pack him forward.

Take the first blow with the shield and punch where the movement stops.

Winn lowered his posture slightly.

Dunn!

It sounded a fierce step in and made way for rock all at once.

Fast, and sharp pokes stretch under the shield on which the lock rests - toward the abdomen.

Gah!

The shock sound of the sword scraping the surface of the shield.

"Raaaah!!!

When he stops Winn's sword with his shield, Rock sticks his sword out to Winn's throat in reverse as he raises his temper voice.

Winn avoided it while half-hearted and flew away to the side.

And then again, Rock puts his shield in the front, and Winn weighs in with his sword as well.

"Heh, Mr. Rock. He's pretty strong."

A short distance from where the two of them are meeting, Leticia, who was watching, snaps.

"Oh, I see, because Mr. Rock is the next seat grader in last year's knight's exam"

"Heh, I don't see it"

To Cornelia's words sitting side by side, Leticia takes a serious look at the red-haired, usually somewhere light-hearted, young man she's meeting with Wynn.

Almost a month after Leticia first visited the 'Migratory Bird Inn' pavilion in four years and the match between Winn and Abel took place.

As the Knights School was closed, Winn and Rock occasionally had this way of self-training.

Not every day because Rock is on a mission because he is also an associate knight.

In the first place, there is a shortage of righteous knights in the uproar caused by that coup.

Speaking of quasi-knights, the mission was as much as it took.

The same is true of Cornelia in that respect.

She had participated in the training as well, but after that incident.

You can't go outside the palace like that, even if you're more than a princess.

I also have official business.

The escorts were also with us when we came here, and they were still standing by far apart.

On the other hand, Leticia was visiting Winn almost every day.

She is a nobleman in this country, but from the standpoint of being a brave man, she avoided publicly engaging in national politics.

For this reason, Leticia, who didn't have anything in particular to do, often borrowed books from the library to read near Winn, and thus looked at the training of the two.

So regardless of the fact that Winn and Leticia are together, it's unusual for the four of them to do that, like they are today.

During the past month, both Wynn and Rock, who at first treated Cornelia somewhere terribly because of the imperial princess, were in a pattern when they spoke in a tone that somehow broke down - the truth is that the Kingsguard knights of the escort had a sinister face when they saw it, but they never stood up and spoke out because of the presence of Leticia besides the two of them.

On this rare day of four, Leticia and Cornelia were sitting in the shade of a tree, watching a training match between Winn and Rock.

Locke moves twitchy as if he's observing Win's movements so that Win's appearance is always put in the front, without going along with his deviant speed, and makes a counterattack blow while defending him with a shield.

"That's amazing. I've been watching from a distance, so I've managed to see Mr. Wynn's sword, but at close range, it was too fast to capture me."

Even though it was sealed with magic, Cornelia gives admiration to Wynn, who overwhelmingly showed numerous knights and soldiers, and to Rock, who is playing a battle with each other.

The way he fights should be a nasty method of warfare by taking it to a type of win that competes at speed.

And there were times when Rock's skill was also in the position of a quasi-knight, he was remarkable.

If he had been a nobleman, albeit a millionaire, not of civilian origin, would he have held down the leggings that had lost their lives in the coup d 'état and taken the lead?

But...

"Not yet, your brother doesn't mean it"

"Huh?"

When Cornelia listened back to Leticia's whining...

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!

Winn speaks up.

Packing the intermission all at once, he carried out a slaughter from the side.

A lock that takes that blow with a shield that holds it firmly in your left hand, similar to the punch of the first shot.

Sounds again, the impact of the sword and shield bumping into each other.

"Nah!?

Similar to the first shot, Rock raises his voice when he tries to put a counter-attack thrust into Winn.

There was already no sign of Winn in the place where he tried to stick his sword out, and the next moment Rock was bewildered for a moment, he was sticking his sword out of his right side to his throat.

"Are you using the recoil of a blow to the shield to reverse yourself, an attack from the side..."

And fast.

Because I was watching away, Cornelia was also able to capture Winn's movements, but I wonder if Winn could have been seen disappearing from sight in that moving lock in front of me.

"After all, you're strong. How much is that move without magic and enhancement?"

As Winn drew his sword, Rock took one deep breath and then smiled bitterly at his friend.

"Even Rock, you were following my moves in advance. Even the righteous knights didn't get that far."

"Well, one-on-one. If I'm against you on the battlefield, after all the allies around me have been stirred up by the motion, I'll definitely end up being truncated."

"What do we do? Do it again?"

"Oh, good."

"Wait!

Leticia grabs the training knight sword and stands up on the wins and locks where she sets up her sword and shield again.

"Brother, can I mix it up too? Watching you two made me want to move my body too"

"Oh, shall I shy away then?

Lower the shield erected by Locke.

"Yeah. Let's do it two on one. You can call me for real. Because I use magic, too."

"" Huh!?

Leticia unties her body while stretching her muscles.

"Hey, man. Does that make sense to Lady Leticia, my earlier methods of warfare?

Leticia is also only a master of Wynn, not a swordsman with speed as a weapon.

But she can strengthen her flesh to the extreme by magic comparable to that of the gods.

"Every shield is torn apart - no, for once the blade is crushed, so it ends with every body blown out?

"That's right... well, I can work with that brave Mavis. It's an honor."

"Come on, you're in the mood!

Leticia smiles and looks back.

Gradually increasing magic envelops her and looks golden in the light of the sun.

Wynn and Rock looked at each other unexpectedly.

"Apparently, you're really gonna fight for me."

"This is an honor, isn't it?

"Well, let's try not to die"

As a result - we were both spilled and had Cornelia do some healing magic.
