"So... we're gonna open the door?

Make sure we're ready for each other, I'll open the door slowly. There's Carlos and Regis. Plus a pair of knights like escorts were waiting.

"... Hmm. Apparently, you noticed this ambush. My daughter... is she fainting? You didn't kill him, did you?

"I just got you to sleep because I was about to make a scene. I didn't hurt you. And you were really behind it."

"You don't listen well to masterminds. I said I did what you wanted."

"... what?

What are you talking about? This guy. Did you kill my family and get your wish?

"You said that, didn't you? He said he was neglected to be a concubine's son and deprived of his liberty. That's why you did it so you could succeed the Count."

"... you're not telling me you killed my father, Mr. Caroline, and my brother for me?

"That's right. He was the father of you. Besides, my brother, whose right of inheritance comes first, and his wife, who has a say, are dead. Claire Riddill is in our hands, and you're clear and Earl of Granchez."

"Don't be ridiculous! I don't want that. I just said I want to be free!

All I wanted was to be free and happy, that's all. I've never wanted anyone to die. And yet, for some reason, I bump into anger.

"I'm sure it's not what you want. But then I'm in trouble."

"... what do you mean?

"I wanted you and Sophia to marry because I wanted a connection to the Granchez family. But the connection is too weak for a neglected concubine."

"So you're telling me to tailor me to a puppet count?

To my inquiry, Carlos just nods that he's right. I saw that. I understand Carlos is serious. So it was despair that dominated me.

"... why, yes. If you wanted power, you should have taken my offer. But how did you do this!?

"Offer? Ah... a nightly stray saying you can make sugar even in that warm area. I haven't believed that story since the beginning."

"- So what are you talking about? Didn't you believe me because Sophia believes me!?

"The only way my daughter can spot me is if the other person is lying, and whether the content is true is a different story"

"It's..."

"In the first place, if there really was such a crop, no one could have noticed. Besides, you must have that kind of knowledge when you were locked away without any kind of education?

"-"

I expected the possibility of being suspected that way. That's why I was gonna tell you about the flu and stuff if you suspected me.

He responded to the negotiations lightly, so he didn't get a chance to show his track record or knowledge. I thought it was the result of you believing me... right? Haven't I been trusted since the beginning?

"- I'll tell you for once, is what Lion is saying true?

"Little girl, are you the one who blew the night's stray into him? I don't know what it's all about, but if you're lying, you're gonna throw up a little better."

"... well, that's the normal reaction, I wonder"

Alice shrugs a little lonely. I'm sorry, Alice. I've been called a liar to Alice because of me.

"Thank you Alice, that's enough. It's too late for you to believe me now."

"Hmm? Does that mean a negotiated breakdown?

"Of course not. Deal with whoever killed my family for unsolicited reasons doesn't matter - no, I'm sorry if I was born again."

"Then what? This is your sister."

Carlos did not say it until the end and turned his gaze to Sophia, who was being put to bed. No, unlike you, I'm not taking Sophia hostage, am I?

How dare you be so kind as to bother telling me you're mistaken on your own.

"... would be good. If you're just saying you won't obey, it's until you let them obey you with your strength. Show him the reality, you dreamy boys!

"- Ha!"

Regis runs right into me first. At the same time, I took a short sword of the blow that was fired.

"... are you going to kill me? You want me to follow you, right?

"Rest assured. Even if I suffer, I add or subtract to the extent that I don't kill them. Besides, I need your permission to have some injuries."

"Holy shit!

He pushes in the sword he receives, and where Regis pushes back, he leaves it to his power to fly down. And just start converting magic elements (mana) with your left arm that doesn't have a sword.

"Are you haunted again! You're not gonna catch me twice!

"What do you think?

Poke your left arm toward the regis you've been stuck in.

"O Spirit of Fire. Respond to my wish with my magic as food."

Spells - To be precise, whine words linked to the sense of calling to the Spirit of Fire, and dwell the Spirit's flames in your arms at the price of magic. By the way, it's my hobby to be a medium two spell!

"What the hell!?

Regis stops and tries to avoid it - but it's late.

"- Flame Lance!"

Imagine the goal and scream. For a moment, the flames that were gathering in my arms strike Regis. That didn't go wrong, he shot straight at Regis, who stopped his leg.

But...

"... that's pretty good"

There was a flat figure of Regis, although only slightly burned.

"Lying, right? Are you okay with eating those now?

"That's a story if you eat it properly. I'm surprised you could use spiritual sorcery that year, but compared to a leading spiritual sorcerer, it doesn't look pretty."

"You're telling me you avoided a direct hit? If that's the case!

Until he falls, he manipulates the magic again.

"Do you think I'll let you?

When was the distance, Regis waves his sword at the horizontal giraffe? I was concentrating on witchcraft, and I couldn't react to it - and I got beaten up on the side of my sword. And without the art of exchange, it blows up to the edge of the room.

"-Lion!?

Alice, who is engaged with two knights, raises an uneasy voice.

"Ooh. Well, well, well, well. Alice focuses on herself..."

Grab the short sword that was rolling nearby and get up fluttered.

Even though I'm full of gaps right now, Regis is blurry with no expression. On the contrary, he returned the sword he had drawn to his sheath.

"... why aren't you chasing me?

"My Lord says break your heart."

I just wanted to say fuck you, but that would actually be about the difference in strength.

If Alice could at least clean up the knight, things would change - but I turn my gaze.

Alice is in a good fight, but she says the other two lack decision-makers. They're attacking each other before they work together.

"They are also the knights, so reinforcements are as futile as you'd expect."

I noticed my gaze. Regis comes to break my heart, but ignores it. I cast a spell in my mind and think of an image, while simultaneously protruding my right arm as I convert the magic element (mana) into magic.

- Flame Lance!

"Become, no chant!?

Twist your body while Regis is stunned. That's how he avoided my magic while losing his balance. - But I'm already nostalgic.

"Ahhhhh!

Shake the short sword with all your might. The blow is sucked into Regis - on the brink, I was blown away by a shock from the side.

... What happened? Does the pain in your flank mean you got kicked out of the blind spot?

"You surprised me. It's horrible how young you are to use it to the point of no chant."

"Keep it up to the counter, put it well, don't..."

"No matter how unchanging it is, it doesn't make sense to attack like that."

"Difference in actual experience..."

"Right. With years of experience in action, it would have reached me."

My voice approaches me. I try to wake up, but my body doesn't move the way it thinks. He's probably having a brain attack.

"Well, what hidden ball are you going to show me next? Until your heart breaks, let's break it all down and show it to you."

I'm not kidding. That was my back hand now.

Besides, I'm surprised Regis isn't chanting, but what I used was a fig.

The real unchanging is the technique of exercising witchcraft instantly, just by floating an image, as Alice does. But I just chanted in my heart and practiced magic.

At last, they're chanting in a way they don't hear. So the time and freedom to activate is overwhelmingly inferior compared to a real unchanging chant.

And even that petty worker didn't work as well for Regis. I don't know what happened to that blow, and I can't think of a way to win.

"... come on, what's up? If you're not gonna wake up, we're gonna go after you, right?

"-Come on."

I roll down the ground and avoid the kick that was unleashed by this lookout. That's how I'm forced to stand up, but shortly after that I got a shot in the stomach.

But I'm guessing you're being modest. The blow isn't that shocking. I can fight back with this - and the moment I shook up my arm,

"One more shot! What's more? How about that!

Continuously eating a quadruple strike, I collapsed from my knee without any exchange.

... Ouch. It hurts so bad.

I guess you know how to hurt me, rather than say "hands-down". My consciousness is clear, and I can't help but hurt my whole body, even though I don't feel like I've had any major injuries like a fracture anywhere.

"Lion, hold on, Lion!?

An unexpectedly soft sensation envelops me. There was Alice's face right in front of her.

"... idiot, tell me to concentrate on my battle... I told you,"

"It's okay, I knocked this one down"

"You beat them both... Alice is amazing"

"Yeah. That's right. So it's okay now. Don't worry about Lyon. Rest there. After that, I'll put a piece on you."

Alice stood up with me gently lying on the floor, smiling so as to reassure the beholder. It's like...

"The protagonist of the story... looks like it,"

"Then Lion would be the heroine."

Alice laughed and paid her fingers for the cherry blossom hair that had spilled over her shoulder. That's how I slowly turn to Regis.

"... you kept me waiting"

"Never mind. My job is to break your hearts. So if you're ready, let me get started... Are you sure?

"... anytime. You'll get paid for hurting my loved ones."
