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

I was coming to the Knights base.

Today, as there is no particular mandate, it was meant to be Celia's training.

Now, Celia and I are in training.

Celia, that's how it goes.

"Yes!"

Celia was largely running out of moves compared to when she started training.

It's getting closer to my moves, and most importantly, Celia's own local power is rising. Keep it up, you'll even be able to cross me.

"Ha ha!

"Come on!"

So a sharp blow was fired from Celia.

To that blow, I retreat a little later. I'm surprised you're going to get me this far, though you're being modest.

"All right!"

"Ugh..."

Celia pulls her sword once and attacks from another direction.

I'll intercept with a knife. But that attack is very good.

Celia draws more swords. Also, he's going to make a blow.

"Ha!"

"What!?

So I waved my sword.

Because Celia predicted to draw the sword, she moved the sword first.

I hear Celia is surprised by that.

I'll stop the knife on the brink of Celia. No more, we shouldn't step in.

Celia, don't be alarmed.

"Ah, yes. Excuse me......"

Celia looks sad in my words.

This is my mistake. I shouldn't have come in from denial earlier.

"No, Celia, the attack was good now. So if we don't stay alert until the end, it'll be even better."

"Oh really..."

"Oh, so don't look like that"

"Ah..."

I stroke Celia's head,

If you don't praise where you are to praise, Celia will be depressed.

Good at first, so you deserve praise today.

"And, Master...... thank you"

"No, it was worse for me. You should have praised me first."

Now Celia smiled at me, too.

This look is cute whenever you see it.

"Sounds like fun, Slade, Celia"

"Huh?"

"Yeah?"

So I heard voices. This voice sounds familiar.

Me and Celia, turn slowly in the direction of our voices.

"Selik!"

"Brother!

"Huh, long time no see, both of you"

There stood Selik, Celia's brother.

Recognize it and I'll take my hands off Celia's head. I felt a lot of trouble stroking a boulder in front of my brother.

"Duh, why, here?

"This is a training ground. There's nothing wrong with me being in the Fifth Squad, is there?

"Well, so is that..."

Sure, this is a training ground, so it's possible there's anyone in the Knights.

But I wasn't expecting Selik, so I was surprised.

"Well, I'm pretty sure I was looking for you guys..."

"What?"

"I have something to tell you."

That's what Selik said to us.

Apparently, they were looking for us.

I don't know much about it, but what the hell is it for?

"Captain Zagil notified me today. Lieutenant Cannon's illness has completely healed..."

"Ah..."

"I see..."

In the words that came out of Selik's mouth, we understood.

Speaking of which, Mr. Cannon is deputy captain of the Fifth Squad. Perhaps it is inevitable that Celik from the same squad will find out about it.

"In the first place, it's the first time I've learned that I was sick, but from now on, they're going to participate in missions, etc."

"Mr. Cannon..."

"Oh, I have a big anticipation, but you guys did something, didn't you?

"Oh, no..."

Selik seems to have come here in light of me and Celia's involvement with Mr. Cannon.

The anticipation is met. But I don't know if I can say it.

Mr. Cannon's situation is complicated by a lot of things, so it's difficult around here.

"Heh, I don't want answers. I know there are difficult circumstances to say."

"Selik......"

"But I don't know if I would say a word of thanks if I knew you guys were involved..."

Selik doesn't seem to want to ask us deeply.

That is gratifying. Nevertheless, Celik seems sharp inside.

"Thank you for saving our deputy captain. On behalf of the team, thank you."

"... oh"

At the time of answering Selik's words, I also feel like it represents what I'm involved in.

But I didn't want to make the choice not to answer. This is how Selik has thanked me. That's what made me do it.

"Pfft... you've just been helped. Hopefully, one day, the time will come to return this favor..."

"I don't mind..."

"That's not why. This is my mood problem..."

"Selik......"

Selik's words were understandable to me.

Unless you're in a clear mood of your own, it's only natural that you're not convinced.

Then it wouldn't matter how much I told you not to care.

"Then give me your help someday. So, let's call it chara."

"... right. You can always tell me when you need my help."

Selik smiled at my words.

The smile, somehow, resembles Celia. Brothers and sisters, naturally, but that seemed a little strange.

"Well..."

So Selik turns his attention to Celia.

Apparently, you say something.

The two of you should be getting along, but still a little worried.

"Celia......"

"Brother......"

"You seem to be getting stronger inside too..."

"Huh?"

Selik had a very calm tone.

You don't have to worry about this.

"Mi, were you watching?

"Oh, let me see it from the beginning"

To the words, Celia blushes her cheeks.

Am I ashamed to be seen in boulders, all sorts by my real brother? No, maybe you're happy.

"You're walking your way and getting stronger. That made me happy for some reason."

"Brother......"

"Keep up the good work with Slade. You must have the power to cross me."

"Oh really..."

"Oh......"

Selik spoke to Celia with a serious eye.

Apparently, from Selik's point of view, Celia's talent is excellent.

After all, Celia becomes a good swordsman. I was even more convinced of it.

"Then I'll let you go now. I don't really want to rip off my mentor's company..."

"Ah..."

Selik, that's all he says and leaves.

It's not what anyone once said about ripping us apart.

"Yes, you're gone..."

"Oh......"

Me and Celia, face to face.

I don't know what it is, but we laugh.

"Selik's pretty rounded up, too..."

"Yes. Your brother has become a very sweet man. But I'm sure that's your real brother."

"Oh yeah......"

Celia's right, Celik is who he is.

I've been distorted a lot by the circumstances of the house, but I guess he's really a sweet person. That's what my attitude toward Celia makes me feel.

"Well, let's just say that's okay, shall we take a break? Fine, I'm tired..."

"Ah, yes. Well, it's been working for quite a while..."

In the meantime, we decided to take a break.

By the time Selik arrived, he had trained quite well, so he was tired inside. It's not a good idea to train too much. Resting is also necessary.

Me and Celia were gonna sit on the bench and rest.
