"This is what makes it easier than you think."

After leaving the saloon, I muttered with great satisfaction and a little relief.

Until they actually confronted Kensei, they assumed the worst situation that they were stronger than they were.

Considering Goz, Klimt, and Claire, the memory of five years ago kept whispering to me, even though I knew that possibility was infinitely near zero.

However, when he actually confronted it, his concerns were gone. Moreover, the swordsman, the strongest swordsman, has not grown anything since five years ago.

What do you please without rejoicing this?

Extremes Not only that. This situation will not change for many years to come. The sword sword club is the strongest sword sacred and cannot move.

Against shackles, I move forward as much as I want. Because I grow up eating the soul of others, there is no such thing as "I must beat enemies stronger than me".

――It is clear what this fact means.

Unintentionally, a laugh spills out. From the back, you can hear the noises and shouts of those gathering in the saloon, but I don't mind that much.

Well, aside from trials, I'll fight Tsuchigumo. There is no obligation to obey the conditions that the other side has added without permission, but the condition of "proving strength" that has been agreed in advance must be met.

Then, if the swordsman obeys me or puts his hand on the sparrow, then don't hesitate to eat-no, I'll kill you.

It's awkward to be able to sit on a sword sacred or double wall at this point, but it's also an honor for the weak and truncated five years ago. It would have been determined that you couldn't handle it unless you were three of them.

"Hm. Well, that's about if there's time for those three to be involved with me."

With that said, I recall what happened on this island. The chaos in the Kingdom of Canary was considerable, but it appears that Onigashima is also beginning to blossom in Onigashima. I think it will soon be a sparrow.

Of course, this is just a guesswork-or an unfounded premonition. So we do not warn or advise. The signs that I perceived would be insignificant for the swordsman who has been guarding the Onimon for 300 years.

Ironically distorting my lips, I returned to the previously addressed guest. No, I tried to go back.

But there was a person who blocked my way.

The person was very small. It is even smaller than the three crabs at Priest Sarah.

Haori Is it about four or five years old? The appearance of wearing a wooden sword on the waist is a very dignified warrior, despite being small. When the haori has the crest of the swordsman, it is definitely a child of this house.

Good up to that. There is no wonder if there is a child of the sword in the house of the sword.

The resentment is that the child is staring at me in a glance. And why do you cross over from the haori? You should take off your haori before tying ...

If you look closely, you're probably tying it yourself, and the knot isn't very reliable. It is likely to be unraveled quickly, and I am worried about other people.

With that in mind, the little dark-haired swordsman opened his mouth, staring at me.

"I'm your sword!

"……Ah"

What do I do when I suddenly apply for a duel from a younger child than myself?

For the time being, I dropped my hips and aligned my eyes with the opponent, so I decided to give myself in response to the opponent who gave me the first name.

Sora: "I am. So, uh, Ibuki, a little swordsman. Why do you want to duel me?"

"Because you bullied Uncle Goz! This is a legitimate slap!"

“…………”

Uncle Goz.

It may be just Goz's apprentice or something, but when he sees his name as the sword,

"And I can't forgive my mother for a good face!"

"... My mother's name is Cecil?"

In this question, the boy ties his lips to a single letter and nods greatly.

He pulled a wooden sword out of the sheath and screamed loudly at me.

"Now, let's fight against Jinju!"

The wooden sword held by the boy is small but ingeniously crafted. Speaking of which, Goz was good at such crafts. Remembering that, I sarcastically lift my lips.

――If you don't do that, you're going to laugh like you used to be.

The boy repeats words without a wind that notices my inner heart.

"What's wrong with that! You can't cut anything without a sword!"

The occasional strange tone is probably due to the passage from the mother's story. It's a line that the hero of the story is likely to talk about.

-Well, what should we do?

Looking at his younger brother in front of him, he is seriously worried.

To be honest, I don't feel close to being a younger brother. Anyway, even before leaving the island, I had as many half-brothers and half-sisters in both hands as my father was holding out to the burdocked woman. And, rather than exchange words with most of them, they didn't even meet.

I can't help feeling the affection of my immediate family when such two brothers and sisters are added.

Nephew I wasn't just looking at my half-brother, but at the eyes of Gozno and Cecil's child. There are many things I think about them, but that doesn't mean I'll treat this child cold.

It's only natural that he beats Uncle Goz and saded his mother. If I were in the same position this year, I would have sprinkled one or two duels with my opponent. Without even thinking about the cause of Goz or Cecil.

it can not be helped. This was when I was bitter and laughing to do one.

"Let's do it! What you see from this is the forbidden dragon power!"

"...?"

I heard something somewhere, but I jumped into my ear.

The swordsman in front of me continues while I'm confused by the insecure anxiety.

Youma "No Swordsmanship!"

"Cho, wait-"

Snake King "The name is a sword!"

"Gufu !?"

I was pierced exactly through an old wound on my chest, and suddenly pressed my chest and crouched.

The little swordsman was proud of what he thought was the effect of his name.

"Afraid or bad guy!"

"Gefugefu, goho!"

Coughing A cramped beat leads to a strange brim, and it's hard to stop.

Probably because my face was so painful, Ibuki withdrew her prominent expression and worried.

"... Am, uncle, are you okay?"

"--Guu!"

In a sense, I got the last blow and I finally knelt down on the spot and burst out.

Fatal blow It was completely unexpected.
