Longer than I still meet my daughters.
I was an adventurer. I was partying with the same adventurers.
It was a small gathering of only four, but there were all those who would later make their names heard in the king's capital.
Regina was one of them.
He was incredibly powerful because of his good model style and gently wielded a great sword about the length of a person's back.
Everyone who stands in their way slams without any hesitation.
The people who saw her fight gave her the alias [Ghost Princess]. Some said that the bright scarlet hair was dyed by the blood of the slaughtered enemy. This is absurd. But there was a certain number of people who believed in it because she was feared by everyone.
Three years younger than me, she was promoted to B-rank Adventurer at a rate of one year, and her strength was already seen as A-rank class.
In the future, S-rank adventurers were also expected not to dream.
Either me or Regina grab the seat of the youngest S-rank adventurer first. We were buddies and competitors.
The people of Wangdu were counting on our promotion too.
But...
As a result, I didn't become an S-rank adventurer. I had an incident with the Enchanted Dragon because I washed my feet from an adventurer.
Then I left King's Capital and my contact with Regina was broken.
"I didn't expect to be reunited with my old buddies in this way."
I'm up off the ground. I'm relative to Regina.
"Regina, you've been beautiful for a long time."
In my memory she was an image of a girl. That should be it, too. I was fifteen at the time. I'm thirty-three now. She's already a fine grown woman.
"Stop the teeth-floating dialogue. Disgusting."
"That poisonous tongue is the same."
"I'm just saying what I think"
"That's what the world calls a poisonous tongue," I said. "Most humans acquire the art of wrapping their feelings in oblate"
"The one called the Sacrifice? That's boring. I think someone who's better at that kind of technique is more poisoned than me."
Regina seems to have been a stripper for the past eighteen years.
"All this time, what have you been doing?
"Did you think I even run a cake shop?
"Because that cake shop doesn't seem to be thriving."
I smiled bitterly imagining Regina in an apron serving customers with a soggy look on her face. It would be the least suitable profession in the world.
"I can only live by fighting. When you can't wield this sword anymore, it's time to die. Unlike you who left King's Landing."
A risky tone.
You must be angry that I didn't consult all the people at the party and took the three babies and went back to my hometown village.
Well, you're right. Are you not convinced?
"Then let's change the question"
I keep my voice down and look out for Regina.
"... Regina. You, why did you attack Elsa?
Regina was challenged and defeated by Elsa.
She hasn't taken a word for it, but she would also be the one who has appeared in the encroachment of the School of Magic and the Adventurer's Guild and poked her sword at Anna.
Staring with a sharp glance, Regina distorted the corner of her mouth.
"Hmm. Nice eye with a cage of hostility"
With that said, Regina has turned a provocative eye. Squeeze your jaw.
"Kaisel. Through the sword."
"What?
"You'll know that, too. I don't listen to guys who are weaker than I am. Show me your strength if you want to know why."
There is a belligerent light in Regina's eyes.
Sounds serious.
First of all, she's not clever enough to make jokes.
"... if you win, you'll tell me why?
"Oh. I promise you"
"... Damn. I didn't know you were going to be able to cross swords with a buddy you haven't seen again in eighteen years. I wanted to talk to you for a slow cup of tea."
"Don't be silly. Swords are more eloquent than words. All the trajectories we have walked with each other are understandable simply by crossing each other's swords"
"I think it's just Regina."
I scratched my neck with poly.
Elsa beside him has a bewildered look.
Well, that's what happens when you're not used to it.
Regina is basic, more sword than Elsa - because she's a battle freak.
Are they stronger or weaker than you? That's all I'm interested in.
"Anyway, let's change places. This is the whole city. It's bad when you break things. I'm sorry to have to end this for the Knights."
