The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into another world.

When I woke up in the morning, there was Celia's face on the front.

I'm a little surprised, but I remember right away. I slept with Celia yesterday.

"Mm... Master"

Celia says such sleeping words as she sleeps with a restful face.

Even in my dreams, do you think of me as a master? If so, thank you.

Most importantly, if you slept slowly and safely, you'd be lucky.

Me too, I used to have Celia, I could sleep well.

As it is, I want to sleep another night, and I want Celia to sleep like this, but I don't either.

Today is the day of the game. We have to get to the base as soon as possible.

"Celia...... get up"

"Yeah? Ha! Master!?"

Celia sounds surprised when I woke her shoulder up.

Well, I was surprised at first, too, so I had no choice.

"Oh, well... I, you slept in bed with your master..."

Celia also seems to have remembered the situation.

"Ah! Master, I'm sorry! I can't believe my master woke me up... he said I had to wake up first..."

"Don't worry about it. That must have meant I could sleep in peace."

With that said, I stroke Celia's head.

Somehow, I wanted to.

"Ugh... that's right..."

"Then it's exactly what it was meant to be. There's nothing wrong with that. And thanks to Celia, I slept well."

"Huh? Really? Good for you."

Celia laughs at me.

Do you want to work hard to protect this smile?

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia will finish our morning shift and head to the dining room.

Then there was already Faraes there.

"Good morning, Faraes"

Good morning, Captain Faraes.

"Oh, good morning, both of you"

While I say hello, we take our seats.

Cletta in the kitchen notices our seats and starts preparing meals. Probably will be bringing you breakfast in a little while.

"Did you both sleep well yesterday?

At the same time that we took our seats, Faraes asked me that question. He seems to care about our health.

"Yes! Thanks to my master, it's just that!

"Thanks to my master?

Celia answered well, but it might be a little bad.

"Did Slade do something?

"Yes! He slept with me when I was nervous!

"... Huh?

Not long after I stopped, Celia told me everything. When I hear about it, Faraes rounds his eyes.

"When my master was next door, I felt very safe and slept well!

"... oh, you did. Slade and..."

"No, the..."

Faraes looked at me like I was in trouble. Apparently, I'm not angry.

"Well, I was surprised for a moment, but I guess I can largely guess what the intent was..."

"Oh, oh... good then"

That's what Faraes told me, and I'm relieved. In the meantime, you seem convinced of my behavior.

"Master? Captain Faraes? What's the matter, sir?

You seem to wonder about that conversation, and Celia's going to look at us alternately.

"No, it's nothing."

"Really? I hope so..."

It was when we were having that conversation.

"Guys, we're ready for breakfast, right? Today, Mr. Slade means a game, so eat well."

Cletta brought me the food.

This is how we had breakfast.

◇ ◇ ◇

As soon as I got to the Knights base, I took a trip to the arena.

It has been since I fought Mr. Gogassa that I come to the arena.

"Well, you look like this one."

Faraes, who was here with me, tells me so and guides me.

Faraes was apparently given materials by Captain Zagil V about today's game.

"Master, I'm going to second today"

"I'm in a second, too."

"I'm in a second, too."

By the way, Celia, Dion and Sona were together.

They're all here to support me. I don't know, my chest was full.

"Oh, I'll let you see it in a second, too, won't I?

"Are you all here..."

Wouldn't there be too many seconds? Well, I don't mind.

"Ah, here you are."

"Okay......"

That's what I said, but we went to the holding room.

The five of us go inside and decide to wait for the game to begin.

"Okay, let's shake it a little..."

In the meantime, I decided to start barebacking. Pre-game fine-tuning.

I wave a knife, a little away from the four of us. Then I try to question you around.

"... Nevertheless, you had the concept of secondness"

"Yes! Even so, all I can do is support..."

"For once, you can surrender at the discretion of a second. Most of all, you wouldn't want..."

Celia and Dion answered my question.

A second is something I didn't know before. Well, it was an exam before, and I wouldn't need a second.

"Well, you can think of me as a backup seat."

"Right. I can give you some advice, but it's your freedom to listen or not."

Next, Faraes and Sona say the same.

If advice is useful, I don't think I'll listen. But it is suspicious if you can be advised to react during the battle. But do you feel comfortable just knowing that there will be such a thing?

Having such a conversation knocks on the hall door. Apparently, it's time.

"Well, let's go."

Along with my comfortable allies, I left the holding room behind.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Squad four, Slade, forward!

As I walked out the entrance, I heard a cheer coming from the venue.

I don't know why, but it's buried in a pretty good audience. Obviously, I feel some things aren't Knights, but let's not care.

"Squad five, Celik, forward!

From the other side, Selik also comes out. Over there, there was Captain Zagil Fifth. Perhaps it's a second.

To each other, what a luxury a captain is a second.

'Come on, I've done it. A featured battle!

As soon as we entered the arena, we heard voices like that. This is a fact that's happened before.

'Squads four and five, different squad members are about to fight now. One is Squad Four Slade. It's a novel of expectations that showed up the other day!

Nova of expectations, I don't feel bad about being told that.

"On the other hand, Squad V Selik. This one is known as a man of strength. Its strength is no less than that of a deputy captain or captain!

Selik's strength seems to be considerable. I knew it, but I couldn't lose my mind.

'Well, this time the reality is, I, Seika. The commentary will be sent by Mr Gogassa. Nice to meet you, Mr. Gogassa'

"Nice to meet you"

Apparently, the commentary is by Mr. Gogassa. Someone who once fought, commentary, seems kind of weird. No, in the first place, this reality seems odd.

"Looks like you didn't run away..."

Selik's been provoking me when I thought that. He's the one who won't hide his hostility before the game starts.

"Hate, there's no reason to run away."

When I say that, Selik's face gets a little warped. Seems not very resistant to incitement.

"You'll find out soon enough. That you can't beat me..."

"I'll give you that word back."

Each other, staring at the other, waiting for the signal to start the match.

"... each other, ready to go"

That's what the referee says, hands up.

"Let the game begin!

On that signal, I was moving.
