Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

We are now walking west through the city of Fretelli, surrounded and escorted by Mr. Lambrick's men. There are not many people in this section out of the center, which creates (possibly) a slightly lonely atmosphere overall despite the tourist attractions.

"... you know, hey... toslin?

If you have a rope wrapped around your arm, it's a complete prisoner escort. In the meantime, I spoke to Toslin, who was walking next door trying to protect me.

"Mm, what?

Toslin is silent after hearing about Carol being captured in a warrior's guild. The look on your face, which usually feels like a sister you can rely on, is also sharp enough to think that if you touch it now, it will cut off.

"It's okay. Mr. Lambrick is talking about pirates, but he's not a bad pirate."

"Oh... well... what? You think I'm worried about him or something?

"Huh? No?

I mean, I just thought I was going to be, you know, normal I just think I am. But Toslin says it's nothing like that.

"There's no way. There's no way he can get caught that easily. When I ran out, I was in charge of a single stick of smuggling because of the guild's impropriety, and he left me and ran away on his own. No, well, there's a story about running away, and I actually went to get help."

"Ha ha... Mi, clandestine fishing…"

"I'm telling you, it's a crime, isn't it? Well, anyway, that's when I thought. Yeah, if it's just one of these guys, no one's gonna catch him."

I hear old stories from Toslin's mouth, and I'm confused. Because I thought I'd like to hear more about it when this is the time. I wonder what kind of adventure this guy has had between the two of us before he met me. One day, when you can slow down, let's try it. He's going to talk a lot to me right now.

"So I'm not worried about anything."

"Then why..."

"... it's just depressing. 'Cause going to these guys means some of those triangle hat women, right? I don't apologize. I'm nothing wrong. Even though it's rare for pirates to walk on land, you don't think they're doing anything like a grounder."

Oh... is that what you're talking about, that face? I kind of worried and lost it. But at the same time, I was envious. To the fact that a special relationship has already been established between Toslin and Carol that cannot be inferred by others' senses.

"Right here. I'm sorry, but I'll let you keep all the weapons."

I walked far from the central section, but that, too, should have been the big mansion on the westernmost edge of the city that the guide pointed to. The splendid gates are somewhat smaller than the iron gates of Sorletta, but still have a thickness that does not attract external enemies.

My sisters put swords and hammers in crates where I was offered daggers that I would not normally use.

"Oh, you're good"

Toslin also tried to keep the Spirit Sword (Carolyn Blade) he carried, but for some reason he was refused. Is it because it's heavy? I can't believe it, but your sister's hammer wins better if it's just weight.

"Ha, I'm finally dying to come home"

Why not? and looking at Toslin, she seemed to be guessing why, sighing deeply.

"Nice to see you. I've been waiting for you."

"Call it in, you've come good and you've got nothing."

What we were put through was a wide lobby. On polished floors, lots of conditioning on the walls. It's a place that could open up at a ball. In the center of it, Mr. Lambrick stands. With his hands gently on the pattern of the sword that was on his hips.

"Head, are you sure you want to do this?

One of the women who led us here makes such a mistake to Mr. Lambrick. She has a short barrel in her hand that looks like she's turned down the cannon. Although the cannon mouth has not been directed at us so far, I felt the slaughter air that I would not hate (say) doing so if necessary.

"Yes, it is. But even a rare elf showed up with a sword on his back, right? Besides, this guy sold a fight to me."

Mr. Lambrick pointed to Toslin, the only one wearing a weapon in this. Give me this far and I'll know. This man is willing to fight Toslin.

……

And when it comes to Toslin, he stands at our head and arms silently. Sure, that's what happened to Toslin on the way to it, but that's why you can't leave this whole thing to one of her.

I thought I wouldn't mind at the roadside stone then, but now I've got the courage and stepped forward.

"Oh, um... we have company here..."

"Silent little girl. When did you give me permission to speak?

"Hih!?

Gasha, all my men put their hands on the short barrel. About twenty in number, I suppose? Now that you're surrounded, if you get shot simultaneously, at least I'm not alone. I'm not hurt.

"As you may have already heard, I'm Rambrick. King Lowenna has entrusted me with the guardianship of the city and the coast of Frettelri. This is the law, though. Don't talk without your permission."

Mr Lambrick stared at me and sadly I couldn't move. I even forgot my breath.

"... well, don't do that. Shh!!

But that's a moment. I gather the fogged courage and stand beside Toslin. I'm glad I left Laplice with Saluena. Because if I had let that kid go free, he would definitely make it easier than it is now.

"... eh? I thought she was just a little girl, but I don't know why she has a liver."

Mr. Lambrick walks over here. And the more I reached out, the closer I came, I bent over and peered into my face.

"You, what's your name?

"Oh, I say Iris Calvafon...... I heard you had company here."

I desperately restrained myself from trembling and squeezed out my voice. If you think about it, there's Toslin next door. Behind you are your sister, Ritzereich, Ushna, and Saluena. I'm terribly weak myself, but I'm protected by them. Even without weapons, my people must be strong. Whether you're surrounded by short cylinders or not, you can do something about it. So I'm probably sure this is where you can probably... yeah, definitely... be strong.

"So let me see you!

"... Ha ha"

She laughed as I said that looking back at Mr. Lambrick's sparkling, ocean-like eyes. rocking her tide-scented hair.

"... it's a big deal to say that after being stunned by this. What the hell is this?

pointing to me, Mr. Lambrick looked at the next toslin.

"My people. And for once, I'm supposed to be the one offering the sword."

"... hmm? So what do you say?"

"You're the boss here, aren't you? If you want to know more than that, why don't you find out for yourself?

"... Ha, you're right indeed. What? What a day, what a happy day. Two good guys alive... No, maybe a big fish..."

Mr. Lambrick will raise the corner of his mouth and look like a swordsman before the battle. No, I guess you're right. She now grabbed the sword pattern again.

"I haven't been able to get out of the ocean lately, and I have no choice but to be free. That's why I need you to hang out with me for a while. If you want to meet that silver-haired warwolf, fight with me."

"I ask, just in case, I'm the one they want, right?

Seeing that Toslin wanted to be very serious, Mr. Lambrick looked at me again.

"... he's joking, isn't he?

And I glanced back at Toslin again.

"... I told you. He said he was one of mine. Want to try it out? You're supposed to let me clean the floor with my knees, right? Be more cordial than me."

Ugh... Toslin's trust is heavy. But if it's not as stylish as a duel with the Griddiz, then we should be able to figure it out enough to deal with one swordsman.

(I just need Unigumi to protect me, and in the meantime, I'll make her complete and summon Phoenix.)

Since I decided to be an adventurer, I have trained myself to protect myself. Unicorn's defensive junction was also tolerated by Toslin's attack in the mock battle, so unless Mr. Lambrick is any more swordsman, at least he won't lose.

"No, my opponent is Tosliln, you. I have no taste in dealing with people who don't have swords."

"Ahhh. Then let's get this over with. Unlike you, we're not free."

"Um, Toslin..."

"Hmm? What? Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Noisy words pop up, and I get gnawed.

"No, I'm not... be careful, okay?

"Thank you. Then you should go back to everyone."

I was gently pushed back by Toslin and I evacuated to my sisters a little further away.

"You barked good, Iris. That temper to think of your people and try to face threats together. Passed out of 100."

That's what welcomed me, Saluena. I sat in my chair even though I wasn't recommended, and I was already in game mode. Next to it, Mr. Lambrick's men stand with expressions of difficulty in handling them.

"Oh, was that a lesson?

In these cases, Saluena usually stays next to me and gives me advice, but this time I thought it was strange because it was slightly quiet. Apparently, I was being charged with an adventurer development curriculum just like I did when I was a warrior guild.

"I'm sorry. Sally, your sister really wants to see your reaction..."

"If it's dangerous, stop it, but to see what happens to Rambrick, it seems to be the only thing Toslin can do for you. Well, don't just stand there and sit over here."

Ritzereich is sitting on the chair again, just like Saluena. I was wondering if it was okay, but I did walk this far and I'm tired, so I let your words sweeten me.

"Hey, this is a duel, right? Then I want to make sure of one thing. What do we bet each other?

Oh, it looks like it's about to start. I sat back in my chair and squeezed my hand on my lap.

"Hmm? Oh, you want to talk about if I win? I won't take it to my life. That's fine if I kill my spare time. If you lose, I'll let you meet your people."

Mr. Lambrick pulled out his lower back sword. A duel isn't something you rarely see, but when it comes to being serious, the chances are even less.

"No, no. He hasn't been caught. He's like a wind, he can't connect. He stayed here because he thought it would be more convenient. Odd, isn't that what he said when he called us here?

Relative Toslin unloaded the long sword on his back and removed his sheath. The pattern now fits with red, shining gems.

……

"... so I guess you should have fun, but you don't have the 'flavor' that I get for this duel"

Jaki...... and quietly put up swords with each other. Growing tension. I can't think of Toslin losing, but in case there is, and he could get hurt by it. I peeked inside the bag and made sure there was a proper bandage and medicine.

"Even though my people's lives are at stake, such delusions often work. That silver-haired warwolf was tailing Ala. I noticed that. My wife caught me and I'm trapped in a dungeon right now. The truth is, nothing else."

"... you don't understand. I'm gonna hang out with you in your spare time, so I'm telling you to give me something. Money, specifically. But if it's a lot of money, I'm leaving now."

Oh, that... not quite, it doesn't start.

(When I thought the duel would begin, the money negotiations started)

The boulders are dirty to money... not to say obsessive... but toslin who loves money. Apparently, I'd say... the sense of urgency I was straining was faint at once. I don't know, so is the nervousness, but I think something else has changed. Like the side of Toslin, for example? It looked like a sword swallow, but now I don't even feel like I'm just getting my usual feel back.

(Mm-hmm, but I always say don't take any trouble that won't cost you money, and maybe it's really my fault)

"Okay, wow. If you duel with me, I'll pay you. This is it, okay?

"You can't do that. If you don't promise me how much I'm gonna pay, I'm not gonna fight."

"My people are caught and waiting for me. Yikes!? And all you can think about is money!?

"... what if I make you wait? I don't know anyone who calls when people are eating. In the meantime, I'll have to pay at least five million kronel."

"Five million!? Hey, isn't that too expensive for anything?

"Wow, you really started negotiating money, that guy"

"... excuse me. I'm usually decent, but when money gets involved, it feels a little weird..."

I'm surprised that a strange situation has arisen in which I apologize to Mr. Ushna for some reason, and after a fine amount of setting, Toslin's negotiations are finally over.

"Hey, what the hell... Is this what Elves are all about? I've never seen a guy so loud about money..."

"You're the one asking me to fight, so I'm not in a position to negotiate a price cut in the first place. Look, if you know what I mean, just lay down your sword. 'Cause I'm starting."

"... this is the side where we're getting your people... oh good. Okay, I'm not saying anything anymore. Please fight me. At first glance at you, you came freaking out. This guy... he's the one who entertains me."

Mr. Lambrick lifted the tip of the sword he was lowering again.

"I won't take it to life, but be prepared for some injuries."

……

Toslin sets his sword in front of his chest.

"Tosrilun F. Iriburg, Meer La Folia"

But it's not the usual unconstitutional setup. Ritual similarities that knights like Eichel and Saluena show before the battle.

"Ruod Le All...... Los Heines"

The two swords crossed... playing a metal sound, signaling the unfamiliar words Toslin had spoken.
