Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

You realized I woke up, and Nina just shook that knife down around my neck.

"-Come on!"

forward to cross arms reflexively.

He shook me down and the knife - it was critical to my neck and stopped without stabbing me.

The crossed arms succeeded in suppressing Nina from hitting her wrist.

For a moment, Nina and I got stiff with overlapping arms.

But soon I'm stronger, so I start pushing back.

"Ugh...!

At the same time, her upper body wakes up, and Nina, who was on top of her belly, collapses.

I'm gonna give my wrist back, like I'm gonna take the wrist I was holding back there.

Doing so would easily succeed in taking the knife Nina had.

"Wow!"

The fact that I was forced to take the knife completely disfigured Nina and fell out of bed and fell.

I was about to get up to fix my posture right away, but I was stabbed in the neck from behind to stop the movement.

"Don't move. I'll fly my neck when it moves."

Behind Nina was Mr. Liberto.

Apparently, she woke up feeling Nina's killer.

"Are you okay, Eric?"

"Yes, somehow"

I answer with the knife in one hand.

I could have stabbed you if you'd been a little longer, it was dangerous.

"What imitation, don't you have to ask? Felix's revenge, anyway."

Mr. Liberto, who speaks with the knife attached to Nina's neck.

When I looked at Nina's face, she looked particularly emotionless without looking in a hurry.

No, it could be the kind of face you've already given up.

He's staring at my face with a vain eye.

"... your brother was strong. So the only way to kill the guy who killed that brother was by night."

"Well, well, that's over with failure, too."

"I was weak. I have nothing to say. Kill me."

Meditate your eyes and take a position waiting for the blade to fall on its neck.

"Okay, bye."

Mr. Liberto shook up the knife that accompanied his neck once.

"Wait, Mr. Liberto."

I stop the knife I was about to swing down.

Mr. Liberto, who stopped with his knife swung up, looks at me and puts the knife back in his sheath.

"Well, I'll leave you to it. I don't think I'm going to kill this guy anymore. I'm going to bed."

"Thank you"

Yawning, I put my knife next to the bed and fell asleep.

I know it's been rough, but thank you, Mr. Liberto, for leaving it all to me.

"Nina, will you follow me without turning against me?

I nodded small when I asked.

If we keep talking here, it will definitely interfere with everyone's sleep, so we're going outside.

Nina followed me outside without doing anything in particular.

Talk to Nina behind the house.

The moonlight is so good today, I can see Nina's face so well.

"Speaking of which, you didn't say your name. It's Eric Aulin."

Nothing responds to my introduction.

"Nina can't use a sword or a knife, can she? Why did you just attack me with a knife?

When I waved the knife down and contained it, I could easily take the knife away.

If it was something you were used to handling, you'd have a little more response, but Nina didn't have it.

"I can't use magic that's more capable of killing than knives."

"What, protective magic is hard magic, isn't it? Then..."

Difficult magic is best difficult to manipulate magic, but the amount of magic still says things.

Besides, if you can expand big enough to surround this settlement round, it's a lot of magic.

With that amount of magic, I can easily kill people. It seems I can use magic.

"I can only use life magic, except protective magic."

"Really?

"I can use a little wind magic, but I can just make the wind. I can't do a blade of wind."

You're so biased.

Can't attack magic at all, even though the magic of defense is at its peak?

"But I knew you couldn't. Killing strong people with unfamiliar things. I used such a cowardly hand."

Nina laughs like she mocks herself.

"My brother uses his pretty cowardly hands, too, so I tried to imitate him."

"Oh, speaking of which, you didn't show up until I was weak. Besides, I've accidentally hit the weak spot."

Well, I only ate my father by surprise.

"Really... so, what's talking to me? You're not gonna kill the guy who tried to kill you?

"I'll talk about it and then I'll decide. I'm not going to kill you now."

"Hmm. So, what's the story?

"Tell me about Felix Glazio."

I'm surprised you opened your eyes a little to my words.

"Why? Do you care about the person you killed?

"Normally I don't care, he's a little special"

The man who took almost everything from me in my previous life.

What did he think made him king?

Earlier, the people of this settlement, home town, had refused so much that Felix would be king.

I have absolutely no regrets about killing him, I'm not going to do it again.

But I wanted to know a little bit about why I became king even when these settlers were born and raised against me.

"You grew up in this settlement if you were his sister, too, right? I want you to tell me why he tried to be king."

When I ask, Nina takes her eyes off my face and looks far away.

Something, the kind of eyes you're remembering.

"... I didn't grow up in this village."

"Oh, really? He's not Felix's sister..."

"I'm not connected to your brother. It's just that I think of Felix as my brother, my brother thinks of me as my sister."

Was it? I feel the atmosphere is a little similar, but is it because of the lack of resemblance in the face?

Nina keeps talking.

"I met my brother ten years ago. When I was ten years old, I was saved where I was falling in the basement of the king's capital."
