Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Section I Lonely Man

Many people were gathered on the ground early that morning.

I don't usually see it, there are also adults who are obviously not students.

Lou, come on, it seems that parents of graduates and school students are hearing rumors and pressing for the duel of Countess Montifi.

The fact that their opponent is now rumored to be me in Wang Du also seems to have inspired their curiosity.

"... Iri... you know... I... I knew it..."

By my side standing on the ground, there's one Lou.

He opens his mouth like it's hard to say, staring at me with his sobbing, reddish eyes.

"The duel has already been accepted, so we can't stop now."

I guess Lou is feeling a burden on me. That's not necessary at all.

Instead, you got mad for me, so all I hold on to her is gratitude.

"But, but... where Iri gets hurt... I, I don't want to see it..."

Lou wipes one overflowing tear at a time with his cuffs so much that his beautifully groomed hair is squeaky.

"It's okay. I told you yesterday, 'cause I can't lose."

I'll take the handkerchief out of her pocket and wipe the tears off her cheeks.

"So... right? Rest assured?

I don't know about this right now, but he kind of seems to be giving up his sister.

"But then..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Confix"

I won't stop crying, Lou. Me comforting it. Mr. Rosé came there and stroked Lou's back.

"Mr. Iris, you can't lose."

Mr. Rosé said as he looked at Mr. Griediz, who stood a little further away.

"She is one of the undisputed heroes. Relative to a dragon, fighting without pulling, jumping its neck."

Mr. Rose's voice, and his expression, doesn't have the usual warmth.

"... Mr. Montifi"

Just pale mouthing the facts only, she called out to the next duel, Mr. Griddiz.

"Yes, why not? Dear Aurore,"

"You are a noble man. In a world called aristocracy, you are exactly like that. But apparently, you're a little too strong right now."

"... I can't understand what you're saying"

"Then you should take the opportunity to know this. That the world is only one of many. If you're a wonderful lady, you have to admit it and broaden your horizons."

"... Your advice, it hurts."

Mr. Griddiz pinched the hem of his skirt and thanked him. Everywhere gracefully and everywhere as a tattoo.

"Come on, let's back off. Mr. Confix."

Rosé urges me, and Lou leaves me reluctantly.

"Iri...... Or win...... Never won!! I'm here for you!!

"Yeah. Thanks, Lou"

That's what I said as I waved. With all the smiles you can.

"You've been calming down for a long time. They're going to crawl all over the place now."

"There's nothing good about being in a hurry."

I'm learning that in action.

"Mr. Calvafon. Last but not least, are you sure?

That's what Dr. Odette, as a sitter, asked me without hiding his worried face.

"If you're going to stop, now is the time. If you haven't already, can I give you something you didn't have?

"But then, Lou won't be able to stay in this school, will he?

"Well, you can't live in the aristocratic world from now on, because you seem to be talking about a world myth such as friends. Then you wouldn't be happier to live in your own territory yet?

"It's not you who decides that."

"No, it's me. The strong wins, and the weak follow it. She's in that world... and you're stepping in, too."

The tone of Mr. Griddiz's voice dropped a few steps.

The sharpness of the gaze directed is further increased.

"I see. I know what you're trying to say."

"Then be quiet..."

"I'm not pulling back. Instead, I heard the words now and no longer wanted to lose extra. Lou stood up to you courageously. I'm trying to get out into the outside world. I... want to push her back like that. Because I was the same."

"Become..."

On Mr. Griddiz's face, Zhu gave it to him. Willow eyebrows flashed and stared at me like I was going to shoot.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Thank you for worrying. But I've told you many times, it's okay. I'll never beat you."

"... Dr. Odette. As promised, I made the best concessions. I know this is a waste of time."

"... I know enough to be ready. Enough, Mr. Griddiz, thank you."

Apparently, the teacher was telling Mr. Griddiz to convince me.

From the standpoint of being a teacher, I thought I was looking sideways to see if there was a lot going on. I'm going to apologize properly for putting the extra worry on me when I'm done.

"So..."

Dr. Odette stood between us and raised his hand.

"Now we're going to execute a duel between Griddiz Montifi and Iriz Calvafon!!

As Dr. Odette begins to explain the history of the duel, no more than a thousand swollen spectators uniformly shut their mouths, surrounded by Sin and town back.

"If Montifi wins this duel, Calvafon shall be forbidden to engage in any way with Miss Borderline Uncle Rosalis Aurore. Are you sure?

"Yes."

When I nod, Dr. Odette continues looking at Mr. Griddiz.

"Conversely, if Calvafon triumphs, he shall rescind Le Vaux Confix's expulsion, and yet Montifi shall withdraw his remarks to her and make an apology"

Copy that, sir.

Mr Gridiz agrees, and the tension on the ground finally peaks.

Mr. Griddiz holds the spell document and sets himself up. By contrast, I didn't have anything. I just pulled my left leg a half step.

The distance between me and Mr. Griediz is about twenty meters. Even if you're not wearing glasses, you're about the right distance from the look on your face.

"… a duel shall not take until life. When one of you declares defeat, stop your hand immediately. Also, promptly pull the blade if I, the witness, deem it pointless to continue any further"

Dr. Odette takes a step, another step back.

"... fight one another's righteousness and perseverance without remorse."

The hand she was giving was waved down when the teacher dropped to a sufficient distance.

"So... here we go!!

Thus began the duel between me and Mr. Griddiz.
