Approximately two hours from a farce by Francis and Itsuki.

Harold's appearance, including both of them, was outside the city of Cabran, in a white-air western hall secluded by the natural lake, on its property. It can be seen whether buildings and gardens are managed or regularly maintained.

They say this is an empty house owned by Berlioz.

"I'm selling it, but the buyer doesn't seem to show up inside."

Well, I guess so, Harold thinks.

The location between the lake and the mountains behind it is excellent, although it is built in a despicable area a little far from the city. A three-story western pavilion is a beautiful setting with bright white Asia in the blue of the water. Boat berths are also set up on the edge of the lake, and the spacious grounds also include cottages and more.

I wonder how much it would be if I bought it. There seems to be no doubt that it is a property that nobility around here cannot afford to serve.

"It's a little narrow, but if it's gonna be a vacation home, it's not too bad."

"Don't you? Affordable, but I guess it's a matter of location."

Where does such a Harold's mood and other winds blow the two upper classes into such conversation?

I no longer understand the feeling that even a villa with a western hall that seems to have as many rooms as a little hotel on three floors is handy. At least this western hall is bigger than Stokes' mansion.

Both bourgeois and others are not willing to spit out poison.

When it comes to why the three of them are visiting places like this, naturally, they have not come to the bargain of the property.

It was a duel, and I had no place to do it where I wanted to. We can't possibly start such a noise at the Berlioz mansion, but as a bitter meat measure, we've got all three of us out with a body that says, "Francis is is looking for a villa so he can take us through the city at the same time for sightseeing".

A large place where you can fight without eyes and at will. It was here that matched that condition.

"If you want to regulate the property, do it without me."

"So is that. Itsuki, where can I fight?

"Let's go around the back"

That's how Itsuki brought me on a horseback riding track surrounded by a wooden fence. Sure, horseback riding is a noble hobby, and there are stables in Stokes' mansion, but we have to get out of the premises in order to make it run.

The horse riding track was also now a mushroom. Although it is natural because it is managed but there are no horses to play the lead role.

"Sure, I can use my full powers here."

"I don't care if you get too flashy."

"I don't need it. I'm worried. I won't pull out my sword."

Itsuki and Francis solidify into such Harold's words. It would also be such a reaction if you said it was a duel but you didn't pull out your sword, etc.

I set aside a moment and Francis listened back in anger.

"What does that mean?

"Don't you get it if I don't tell you? You don't need a sword or anything."

Harold also understands that it's a hell of a licking statement.

But so far, I don't see any element of Harold losing to Francis.

After verifying it in various ways over the past few years, Harold's level now exceeds 70 if you put it in line with the original Brave Hearts. There are three games in the game against Harold, but a level of 70 equals the numbers in the third fight.

While there is not a visible status display or anything else, I calculated my level from the authentic task of fighting hundreds of certain monsters and counting them backwards from their HP values to determine the power per hit.

This was quite the ordeal. If you think of the assumption that this world will be strong with the same level up system as the game, fighting over and over will naturally increase the level. If that's one or two, you can still do it by error, but if you level up significantly before you have an approximate idea, you won't be able to get a correct idea of your level.

Another guide to identifying levels there is the moves that can be used.

In Brave Hearts, enemy characters like Harold and Fincent have moves that are lifted by level compliance, just like the main character.

I've tried moves that Harold should be able to use since the beginning of his time in this world, but the results are scattered. I couldn't use many moves. There is no such thing as a spare time there, but a choice between perfectly or completely unusable. And one day, I could use moves that I had never been able to use before.

From the above, Harold believes that this world also has a level up like a game.

By the way, Harold's HP in the final battle is over 140,000. There's a difference that it's not a runaway state, but there's already 90,000 in Harold in WWII, so there 'll still be about that midpoint.

In contrast, Francis' initial level is set at the average level of the party at that time. Depending on the style of play, it often becomes more or less a subscription at around level 30.

Assuming Harold's HP today is 100,000 and Francis's level is 30, the difference in that HP is more than tenfold. Francis, who doesn't have a reputation for fire power, can't cut it even if he connects 100 combos alone.

Exceptions exist in everything, however, and there is a "Critical Hit", a steep attack, based on the specifications of the game. The steep attack in the game is set to be twice as damaging, but it won't be that easy in this world where the game elements mix with the realistic parts.

There's just under 20,000 HP saying the ice dragon you knocked down at Gillan Snow Mountain is also a game, and not a third of it would have been shredded on Reefa's offense.

But Harold struck a single Ice Dragon, knocking even his fellow Ice Dragon down less than ten times. This does not mean that Harold is highly aggressive, but only because he inflicted many fatal wounds in a steep attack.

Well, it takes a lot of skill and skill to trigger a light steep attack on your opponent, and your resistance to attack will definitely be stronger with each increase in level. So it doesn't change the fact that if you have a high level, you are strong, but if you fail to guard, even an attack unleashed by a Level 1 opponent can be a steep attack.

And eating a single steep attack in this world can be fatal.

Out of the question, in short, Harold's victory is unwavering if he doesn't even fail to pay attention to the steeple attack.

Conversely, I would have trouble getting Francis injured in my own attack, and I don't think it would be a fight without this much handedness.

"... the word, let me withdraw it immediately"

"Try it. If you let me pull your sword out, you can win."

Harold laughs.

This was also an excuse to beat an opponent with an overwhelming difference in strength. It's a dimension that Harold loses if he guards with his sword while stirring up and attacking and creating the feeling that Francis has unleashed a blow all over him.

Get inside the fence and face Francis around its center. He had a fighting face.

"It's my last confirmation. Coming to the duel are both Harold Stokes and Francis J. Arklight. The witness is me, Itsuki Smeragi. The settlement was only made when I either decided I was incapable of fighting or used a weapon in Harold. Any objections?

"" No ""

The two voices overlap. Each other, so much concentration that we already only see the other.

And...

"Then this duel I wagered on my marriage to Erica Smeraggi," Wait "all the time."

The concentration was easily broken down by Itsuki's words.

Now he said a duel betting on his marriage to Erica. It's not Harold's mishearing.

"What's wrong with you?

"What is the matter with you and these things? Why would Erica's marriage be involved in this duel"

Marriage, not engagement. Which means you'd better marry Erica if you won.

Weird. This duel should have been about Harold taking command of Francis if he won, and Harold disappearing from before Itsuki and Erica if Francis won.

"It's okay. If you want to marry Erica, you just have to win."

"Stupid. That's not what I'm worried about"

"Besides, it's Harold who's engaged to Erica, and if you lose, Fran will try to dictate Erica, right? Something similar."

"Not at all. By and large, he is willing to…"

"Uh, you got a minute? I can't swallow the situation... the point is, if I win, I can have Erica as my wife?

"I don't think Fran can do that."

Itsuki smiling and stirring up. Maybe his personality is influenced by Harold.

But Francis of the day arms when he closes his eyes, silencing himself as if to delay things. His face, which often opened his eyelids, was rolling more than earlier.

"I'm getting motivated by Russia. Let me be serious!

Francis sparkles emerald green eyes and sets up a rapier.

I had a bad feeling.

The moment you finish the rearrangement and Itsuki signals the start. Find out that the hunch was in the middle.

A poke that was unleashed packed in time with one leg. Not at a rate that would make you lose room from Harold, but an attack that you can deal with while keeping your time.

But it was faster and sharper than I expected. That's why I accidentally dealt with it. It's going to be a blow to Francis.

(What do you mean opening brave mode!?

It's the equivalent of what the liner showed us at the martial arts tournament. It's a kind of invincible mode. There are many advantages such as increasing attack power, halving damage, eating attack but not disabling or crushing moves in the process of activation.

But that's a “gauge move” where you need to connect attacks, guards, and combos to build up a gauge. It is not something that can be activated at the beginning of the opening.

(You don't need a gauge stash? If you're feeling expensive, you can use it. I'm not kidding! Or rather...)

Returns dodging while trying to put together confused thoughts somehow. If I were to lose, I would continue to evade the attack I had assumed, easily and without suffering.

A vicious circle where losing the loser muscle "..." disproportionately scatters thoughts.

The plan was to "earn Harold's experience" by knocking him down with bare-handed moves and turning back the steps of healing him with the items he had prepared.

It was mentioned that leveling also exists in this world, which in other words means that the opponents fighting have experience points in place. "Brave Hearts" was a specification where 10% of the characters who participated in the battle and 70% of the experience of the characters who were dying or refraining from doing so during the battle. And experience goes in, even if you lose.

RPG As a result, there is not much experience with monsters that can be encounted in the field, but there are many out of step experiences gained from characters set up as bosses.

Harold is the boss character who won't be pushed or pushed and has played the most games against the main party.

You can earn eight thousand for the first battle, 35 thousand for the second, and seventy-two thousand for the last. Considering it from the level, there would be about 60,000 in Harold right now.

10% EXP to enter if you lose the fight. Six thousand for this one.

And the required experience at level 30 is 5,000 units. After level 35, he enters six thousand units, but still counts that Francis will level up every single or two battles.

Though only in calculation. I couldn't be sure of all this, so there's no certainty. I can naturally also think of the possibility that no matter how many times I beat Francis, it's pointless.

But if this hypothesis is correct, we can hope for a dramatic strengthening of Francis. If you miss this opportunity to move freely with less constraints, it will be back to the pawn of Justus and it will be harder to fight more times than the original with the liners.

So now is the only time to do it. In the game, players are badly acclaimed for "subtlety," "instrumental poverty," "poor prince," and so on, and the stammer drop will definitely be the bottom line of the main party if we can strengthen him, which even exists in the regular, besides the tie play of "Turn the Prince into an Operating Character and Clear”.

I don't know how to lose, that's all you have to think about while you fight.

With such a shitty feeling, Harold slammed a kick into Francis' flank.
