I was under certain circumstances talking about fighting Noir, Sona's wife.

"Let me hear that story."

When we talk, we hear voices like that.

The Lord of Voices was sitting on a bench in the courtyard. Everyone on the spot looks at him.

There sat an iron masked man who looked familiar.

"Oh, aren't you Captain Zagil"

"Noir, 4th squad, I understand the situation."

That's Captain Zagil Fifth.

Could I have listened to you from the beginning?

"Captain Faraes IV, I'll arrange the game. I'm just unavailable."

"Ah, yes. Well, thank you..."

"I'll play the game tomorrow, then!

That's all Captain Zagil said and left.

I don't know, I feel like this when I was Selik.

"... well, shall we get back to this?

So, that's what Noir said.

"To make the story easier, if I win, Mr. Sona accepts to marry me. If you win, you lose your engagement. That's good."

Oh, I don't mind.

"Hmm, okay"

Noir's proposal makes things easier to understand.

Anyway, I mean, you just have to win.

"Well, it's time for me to go, too. I look forward to fighting you."

That's all Noir says, he leaves.

"Well, I'll be there, too. Talk to you later."

Following that, Mr. Orfina also left.

So, Sona opens her mouth.

"Slade, the... sorry"

What came out of that mouth was an apology.

But I didn't want you to say that.

Sona, you don't have to apologize.

"Slade......"

"I'd rather be thankful. I can help you in trouble..."

I wish I had, since Mr. Orfina suggested it.

If Sona is in trouble, I want to help her. Sona is one of my most important people.

"I guess...... thanks. For me......"

"Oh, leave it to me. Be sure to win."

Sona laughed at my words.

"Slade."

"Master"

So Faraes and Celia call me.

On second thought, I decided not to say anything to these two. In particular, Faraes may get into a lot of trouble because of his position as captain.

"I'm sorry we both decided on our own."

"I don't mind. I'm glad you said that."

"Yes! I'll get an instant answer over there, so my master is cool!

But they both praised me.

Everyone seems to want to help Sona in need.

"But it's not a glimmer."

"Behold! You are!?

As we talked about it, someone was walking in from the hallway.

"Oh, brother......!

"Selik!"

The man is Selik, who once fought me.

Apparently, Selik was listening to us, too.

"Slade... I know how strong you are, but I also know how strong the noir is"

"The strength of the noir...?

"He's as strong as they say he is in the fifth squad."

"Third!?

Selik turned to me and began to explain the strength of the noir.

In the Fifth Squad, the third strongest would mean, in simple terms, that you are strong next to the Captain, Deputy.

"I've never fought in a game either, but I know how strong he is. I think I'm mistaken for polite things, but the battle is rough"

"... oh, I kind of figured that out"

I can understand Selik's words, too.

Noir had shown a soft atmosphere with polite words, but he felt a tremendous temper from the depths.

"Well, that's a boulder... I didn't know you'd notice his nature"

"Nature…"

"Oh, perhaps your battle with the noir will be a reward for each other's attacks"

"... where I want it"

After all, Noir seems to have an aggressive style of combat.

But no matter how I fight, I'm not going to be frightened.

"Heh, you're the same. Well, don't be alarmed anyway."

"Oh, sure."

Of course, that didn't mean to alarm me.

It is only natural that any opponent should fight with all his might.

"Then don't worry. Bye......"

"Selik!"

That's all I said, Selik left.

Apparently, he's been talking to me, just to encourage me.

"Oh, my brother, you've changed..."

The thing that surprised me the most about it was Celia.

Sure, I don't think Celik ever had the vibe to say this before.

He seems to have changed in the fight against me, too.

"Yeah, but isn't that a good thing?

"Yes, that's right"

Selik and I felt a little familiar in the fight.

Like that, it's nice to hear from you.

"Well, there's been a lot, but for now, I guess I'll have to go back"

So Faraes speaks up.

I totally forgot, but we were helping Faraes, and he was here on that break.

For that reason, it's only natural that I have to get back to work.

"Slade, for tomorrow, you'd better go home and rest"

"Oh, let me do that"

"Maybe you should take the day off, too, Sona."

"Yes..."

Faraes tells me to rest with Sona.

This would be a good suggestion, as Sona seems quite mentally challenged as well.

"... yes! Sona should come to my house today, too."

"Huh?"

"In the same house as Mr. Orfina, there would be something hard, wouldn't there?

Faraes makes such a further suggestion.

Indeed, it may be harsh to return to Mr. Orfina's waiting home after that event.

"Celia, will you go to the Sona family and tell them about it?

"Yes! I get it!

Nor did he hear Sona's answer, and Faraes had given Celia instructions.

I think it is difficult for the person to answer, so this is also a good decision. The boulder is Faraes.

Sona was listening to it with her eyes round, but immediately changed her expression.

Apparently, Faraes' intentions were also conveyed.

"Captain Faraes...... thank you"

"It's okay, Sona. Slade, say hello to Sona."

"Oh, leave it to me"

This is how we started our own action.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ah, Mr. Slade, you're not coming home...... Mr. Sona? Welcome."

When I left with Sona, Cretta greeted me.

Seeing Sona's face, even though she is a little surprised, it is the boulder that is politely handled.

"Oh, excuse me..."

"Cletta, I'll tell you more later, but today, Sona's staying."

"Oh, right. Okay."

To my words, Cletta said so without saying anything.

It gets longer when I talk to you, so I would be very grateful if you wouldn't listen to me in detail and do so.

"In the meantime, I'll take you to my room, and in the meantime, I'll ask you to prepare a lot"

"Yes, I understand"

Sona decided, for now, to have you come to my room.

In the meantime, Cretta will get us a room.

If you can do that, lead Sona to that room and let her rest, she'll be fine.

"All right, then, let's go"

"Yeah, yeah."

Behind me, Sona follows me.

Kind of looks a little bit, but is it because of your mind?

With that in mind, I took Sona to my room.
