"What are you guys going to do to make a scene like this?

If we're going to make any more noise, we have an idea here.

As I said, Arios had his hands on the sword pattern.

"Oh, we're not..."

"Hey, it's nothing."

The men turned away at first sight.

Seeing those two, it got ridiculous to learn to be angry, and I let go of my hand.

The men stare at this one and then walk away.

Remember, maybe I wanted to say, but I already forgot.

"Oh, boy. I hope you don't bother me too much."

"Sorry about that."

I apologize to Arios...

I honestly told you that because I have a problem with that too.

I try to get back under the tent as it is,

"Wait, Rain."

Arios called me off.

Looking back at something, Arios had a friendly grin.

"You're a hippo on break now, aren't you? Because of this, why don't we do a mock fight?

"A mock fight? With Arios?

"Oh, what do you say?

Sudden offers make me unwittingly pompous.

Suddenly, what are you talking about?

Suspicious.

I just think I'm up to something.

For example, why don't you go to a mock fight and let me get hurt and drop you...

I felt like I was thinking about that.

I don't have a basis...

We're dating there, so I'm going to understand Arios' character, what he's going to do.

"Sorry, but I say no. I want to get some rest in preparation for my final exam."

"Don't tell me you can't get along. The degree to which the body moves gently. And... even though it's light, we can't just acquit you of making a scene like this."

"What happens to those people?

"My people are moxibusting by now. I won't punish you alone, you can swear to God."

"I don't really believe it..."

"Whatever, you can take your testimony. What do you say?"

If that's what you're saying, I guess it's not a lie.

"You can't just do nothing. Nevertheless, you are not falling for it. It's like those guys that got involved."

"If you know that, will you leave me alone?

"I'm in trouble because I can't do that. You'd call it both a fight and a defeat, wouldn't you? Rain needs some punishment, too. So... have a mock fight with me. A brave man has become his opponent and punished him... that's how you can appeal to him, right? Don't you think this would fit all round?

There's nothing strange about the Arios story.

As things stand, it would be the best way to put the place away.

I just don't see Arios telling such a decent story...

Absolutely, you must be up to something behind it.

I don't want to be pulled off my leg by weird things...

When I looked around, the other adventurers were looking at this one.

That gaze is mixed with feelings that seem uncomfortable.

Arios is right, you probably don't like me for making a scene.

Even if we leave it like this, that's going to be a problem.

There's something I'm curious about... maybe you should do what Arios says.

"... ok. If that's the case, let's do a mock fight."

"You'll help me understand my story."

Even if Arios was up to something, you can stop it.

Let's pay close attention and try a mock fight.

"Rain...... good luck, huh?

"I can't believe you're such a brave man, Cotempan!

Nina and Tina supported me.

The support of the two builds strength.

Yeah.

I don't feel like losing if I'm in my current state.

Even if Arios had used his cowardly hand, he was confident he would just break it.

I left under the tent and moved to the square.

So confront Arios.

"Time, yes... shall we make it ten minutes? If that doesn't settle, draw. So what do you say?

"Oh, no problem"

"I mean referee, or I want to leave the timer role to that kid, okay?

Surprisingly, Arios nominated Nina.

I was wondering if I could judge Agus and the others and be a guru...

"Oh, no problem..."

"Then please. It's just an easy job to gauge the time, call me after ten minutes. Yeah, I want you to speak up when you think you've settled."

"Hmm... Roger, it is."

"Don't worry, we're here."

"Hmm? Could that doll be one of Rayne's? Although I've never seen it..."

"Well, there's a lot going on."

"Right. Then she... she's fine, right? Let's ask her to judge, too."

"Okay. If Arios is okay with that, I'll be fine."

Shall we begin?

Like I said, I pulled out Kamui...

"Oh, let's leave the weapons unattended"

"Huh?"

"Though a mock fight, using the score can result in injury. I'm going to stop you, but I'm not sure there's any accidents."

"It's, well..."

"Rayne withheld his exams. Wouldn't it be boring if I got hurt? Let's do it with our bare hands."

That's crazy.

For Arios, he's just saying decent things.

This guy, is he a dick?

"What's wrong with you? Look at my face. [M] Is there something on it?

"... no, nothing"

Could it have been revamped?

I hear the king reprimanded me...

So you changed your mind?

"Well, let's get started"

"... ok"

Has Arios revamped, or is he up to something behind his smile...

I don't know the sincerity.

Let's be careful what happens.

"By the way..."

"Yeah?"

"What happened to those glasses?

"Oh, a little fashion. What do you say?"

"You don't look great."

"... Shut up"

――――――――――

"Hmm... over, yeah"

On Nina's signal, me and Arios stopped moving.

Start a mock fight, ten minutes...

It ended with nothing in particular.

Arios didn't work wrongdoings, he wasn't trapping them, he was just fighting normally.

We're not used to fighting each other, so one of us never collapsed... we got to fight all the time.

Even if I wasn't using my sword, Arios was strong.

He moves quickly, hits hard, and every blow is sophisticated.

That's what you should call a brave man.

Compared to when we did it before, it had grown far.

"Ugh, I sweated good. That's pretty good, Rayne."

"... Arios too"

"I'll work with you when I get another chance. Bye."

Arios laughs refreshingly and walks away.

"Rain...... are you okay?

"Did he do something to you?

"No, I'm fine. Nothing..."

I didn't put you in a mock fight to hurt me, I didn't do anything to get you into it.

What the hell did Arios want?

… At this time, I never realized that Arios' purpose had already been achieved.
