Thoon and Doowe, and the former Lord of Sopeds, were in the same room welcoming each other.
Relax in one of the luxurious' Guest 'mansions, appreciated by Bathrub.
For some reason the former Lord is tied to a chair with rope, but no one thought it was unnatural.
"Nevertheless, Father. That's funny, I can't believe the loser who got kicked in by Sansui and fell all over the city is being worshipped by those further down there."
Thoon sitting on the couch, Doowe sitting on the lap of, seemed very sorry he couldn't make it to the scene, but was in a good mood just to hear the situation from the mountain water.
By now, those down there who are biting just because they were incited will be turning bright blue and begging for forgiveness.
"I can't believe I'm getting carried away by a man who was just a Kingsguard and being aggressive about something that denies him. It's just a scratch lick."
"Well, my daughter. It's certainly not something I was praised for, but it's not otherwise unusual. It's only natural that his men admire Claw and them."
A former lord bracketed in a crude chair, as if he were an intermediate to be tortured.
But instead of cursing his situation, he was pitying the young people who were not here.
"Claw is a man of equal strength to Thoon and Blois. Later, he was born well, good in stature, character and face. Such a man tells us his dreams in training ourselves. It's weirder not to be if you're enthusiastic enough to endure harsh training"
Of course, Claw's training is not easy.
Everyone knows that there's no way you can actually do that and so on, though you should just incite them to dare say, 'You've got ex-garde guards working out, so it's natural to be strong'.
No matter how appropriate the content of the training is, it is also the person who suffers. As long as we are motivated to be strong, it is not easy for us to speak or for ourselves to be strong.
Not all the students of the mountain water were able to stay and make it. As a result, many of them were sieved and frustrated.
I guess that's why the rest of us have a strong sense of union and strong respect and trust for Claw.
Strong loyalty to superiors and stiff solidarity. However, it can also result in 'occlusion'.
What an irony it was that those seeking reform would be closed.
"In that sense, it's a toon. I guess Claw looks like you."
"It may be so"
Good born, good face, superb sword and magic.
I see, we have a lot in common. Though it's not an interesting story if you try Doowe.
"But me and him are different. Perhaps he never experienced setbacks or anything until he fought Lord Sansui."
Thoon's frustration was, in a way, from birth.
At the time of his birth, not wang chi, but shadow chi, the path to becoming king had been cut off.
That's what I've been told since I was a kid.
It was so long ago that I couldn't even remember when I was frustrated.
In contrast, Claw was born with a magical talent and a sword talent in a magically developed country, a lineage that could receive those guidance.
In the meantime, he even got an incomparable superior named Knight of Thunder.
For him, the struggle against an absolutely unbeatable opponent, mountain water, and the setbacks that followed, would have been the first experience of his life.
That's not limited to Claw, and a lot of close guards must have been.
"... my son let Sansui fight all of the Kingsguards, but that's in different order. They're all alike. Everyone thought Sansui was the right age at the time, and even if he wasn't, it wouldn't be surprising to think of him as humiliating if his superior officer who was intoxicated by such a fitting defeated him"
The day the honor of the Kingsguard fell to the ground, the Kingsguards admiring the Knight of Thunder, who was the captain, all challenged the mountain waters.
On second thought, honor had already fallen to the ground at a time when all the close guards, consisting of hundreds, were slapping one.
But to the point that it doesn't bother me, neither the Kingsguard nor the King would have preferred the Knight of Thunder.
"For better or worse, Claw must be an attractive superior officer. That's why Claw himself can't admit it, nor can his men. The fact that mountain waters beat claws, the fact that claws creep into mountain waters, and the ideals listed by claws are denied. None of them, even if Claw is convinced, his men are not convinced."
"It's a good end to a bunch of fools who were just part of the Kingsguard."
"My daughter... that must have been for you too"
With him tied to a chair, his father tried to remind his daughter of the past.
"I can't believe you did that to me..."
"No, there was. It was when Sansui was recognized as the best swordsman in this country and was turned to fear and hatred by the royal family. Me, you, my son, even the whole sopede, boasted of his martial name as if it were me."
"I didn't lose heart. Why did you lose conscience then..."
"I am, because I did too. Don't you remember what Sansui was saying to us when he was called Kensei the Child Face? No, what did he say every time?"
When they say that, Doowe also understands the boulder.
Yes, Doowe, the strongest swordsman in the kingdom of Arkana, boasted that he was one of his own men.
And it was the mountain waters themselves that were bathing her with cold water.
"Compared to my master, I can't name him immature, Kensei, etc. He always said that."
"... Yes, you are"
"I feel terrible every time I hear that word. You should have, too."
I was humble through humility.
Mountain water was not deceiving with his mouth for humility or the honor of his master, but he thought himself immature from the bottom of his heart.
Even though praise has been received from all over the country to the mountain waters, there is no way that the person can be amused by that.
"Sansui praised the scattered master... but I didn't really think he was stronger than Sansui"
"Oh, that's beyond comparison."
There's a man named Suibok, a swordsman who teaches to mountain waters, much stronger than mountain waters.
That was listening, and Doowe and Toon had met him in the woods.
My head knew I was stronger than Swivo, but there's no way I actually had any regrets that Swivo didn't even put mountain water on my teeth.
"I also met Lord Suibok, but as I continued to receive guidance from Lord Sansui, I suspected that there were more swordsmen than Lord Sansui... my imagination was just impoverished"
"In that sense, it would be about Sansui himself who has never (...) been betrayed by the 'strongest' I believed. It seems that Suibok himself had a trial and error, but when Sansui was apprenticed five hundred years ago, he already had the correct answer."
"Serving Me, the King, there's no way the Kingsguard's captain, The Knight of Thunder, can beat anyone"
"There's no way the mightiest swordsman, Swordsaint of the Child's Face, can beat anyone, serving me, the Sopeid's Lady"
I guess those fantasies and the fantasies Claw's men turn to Claw are essentially the same thing.
"If I thought I was the strongest, there was a stronger guy."
"If I thought no one could win, I lost light to a guy who doesn't know what it is"
The only person who can't do that must be Suibok's apprentice, Mountain Water.
"That's nothing but a hypertrophy of self-esteem. It is a self-projection into a respected opponent, that is, I just feel that I have become great myself by consecrating the person I admire. That's why you can't recognize someone better than your respected opponent and get aggressive through negativity"
"Neither do I... I have a sense of contempt for Lord Huukei, too, who consecrates Lord Sansui"
It's not unusual, and there's that aspect of trust anyway.
The inability to be objective about it, or the fact that we do not see it as a problem, can provoke decisive protests.
You have to realize that you are aware of your own vices and that your actions make you annoyed by the person you feel uncomfortable with.
"What I have been taught by Sansui understands that to some extent, as well as my height and public standards. Even if they insult Sansui, they can look at the person and the situation and indulge in action. Nevertheless, that is not Sansui's handle. It's not like Claw's bad."
"There were many strong men gathered at Lord Sansui, including me and Run..."
Thoon himself was often defeated in the battle against a bogus Kingsguard.
Not to mention the fact that I am not a fat person for anything other than runs and festivals.
"Exactly. Knowing that they are out of standard like Sansui, Ran, and Saiga, they are also present with the Kingsguards and strong people in the general range like you. In the meantime, I know the existence of a true strong man named Suibok. Fools like that that would enrich their self-esteem would be rare in boulders."
I feel like I could have been a mountain water myself, guided by mountain water far beyond the Kingsguard.
But if you actually fight a close-knit Kingsguard, you have no hands or feet to win.
In the meantime, the mountain water itself has been spilled on me.
If so, it was natural to be able to understand your height.
"I'm stronger, but there's a lot of stronger guys."
"Mr. Sansui beat the Kingsguard, but not the Kingsguard weak"
"I'm not Sansui himself"
Everyone shares that thought.
"I guess Sansui wants to correct things around it. He wants to make sure Claw and his men don't make a decisive mistake, rather than let Saiga create a collaborator."
If Claw's relationship of trust with his men is genuine, it's fine for those who are stronger than Claw to show up, even if Claw's ideals were wrong.
Because Claw should also be respected again, just as the Kingsguards still love the Knight of Thunder.
