I wake up to the light coming through my curtains.

Apparently, I slept fine yesterday. Your health is also very good.

"Yeah......"

With that in mind, Celia next door raised her voice.

Celia opens her eyes and looks at this one.

"Master...... good morning"

"Oh, good morning"

Celia had a bright voice and had greeted her.

Last night, it looked like I was full of anxiety, but this might not be a problem today.

"Finally, the battle against the Dark Knight will resume."

"Oh yeah......"

The battle against the Dark Knight continues yesterday.

Fight and settle for the three remaining Dark Knights today.

It would be a tough fight. But we have to win.

"Celia, are you okay?

Just in case, I asked Celia that.

This is an inquiry in many ways.

"Yes, I'm fine"

"Right..."

Celia answered my question firmly.

The way it is, you'll soon find out it's not a lie or a lie. Because the fighting spirit in its eyes has passed on to me, too.

"All right, then, let's get up."

"Yes!"

This is how our day began.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia stand in front of Cretta, Mr. Orfina, Mr. Alma and Mr. Shalol at home.

He's dropping me off because the battle against the Dark Knights begins again at dawn.

"Mr. Slade, Celia, don't lose"

"Oh, sure."

"Absolutely, I will win!

Cletta looks a little worried, but she tells me so.

I can't seem to brighten the boulder or the cretta. The brighter seems to be Cretta, so I need to get it back to normal soon.

For that, you will have to win and come home safely.

"Mr. Slade, Celia, if you two are, you're sure to win"

"Yes, I wish you good luck"

"Please, be safe..."

"Thank you Orfina, Alma and Shalol for everything"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be back safe!

The three of you, Mr. Orfina, spoke to us.

The three of them came all the way to this house for us. It is truly gratifying.

We have to win to reward it.

"Then I'm going!

"I'm coming!

That said, me and Celia start walking.

Finally, the battle against the Dark Knight restarts.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia went to the Knights base.

Then a few knights will talk to us.

"Tin, Slade, Celia, the Dark Knights have already taken you to the gallery."

"And for now, everyone, they're waiting for me dearly"

"Right..."

Apparently, the Dark Knights are already in base.

For being evil, they're moving early in the morning. But if you're following me adultly, I wouldn't have a particular problem with it right now.

"If there's any suspicious movement, tell me. We're in the holding room."

"Yes, I understand"

That's what I say, I give instructions to the knights.

Nothing, I don't have the right to command, but they all seem to follow me.

Or rather, I was categorized as a newbie. I don't know, I also feel a little sorry for you.

"Sounds kind of like a master, captain"

"Ha, captain...?

"Yes, confidently give instructions to reassure everyone. That sounds like the captain of the squad."

That's what Celia said to me.

They say he looks like a captain, and it's not like he's not happy. But as I thought earlier, I feel sorry for you.

From now on, it may feel better to ask for more than instructions.

"Now that we don't have Captain Faraes, I think we can count on him, so I'm sure we're all relieved."

"Huh? Really?

"Yes!"

"Right..."

But to Celia's words, I had to change my mind.

If my grandeur increases everyone's morale, then so be it. Now that I don't have a captainship, I guess that means I need a replacement.

"Well, then, shall we go to the holding room?"

"Yes."

Talking about it, we headed to the holding room.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia were waiting in the holding room.

The battle will begin soon. That's why they warm up each other. Before the game, it's important to keep your body in order.

"Yeah?"

"Is that it?"

We hear voices like that in our ears.

Something, a voice as if you were arguing.

"Wait!

"No, I'm fine..."

The voice was that of Dion and Populi.

Shortly afterwards, the door of the holding room is slammed.

I'll open the door slowly.

"Slade, Celia, I fight too."

"Dion......"

Dion came into the holding room and said the most about it.

Behind that, Populi seems worried. Perhaps Dion's body is not yet intact.

But still, Dion came here. As a knight, to fight.

The heart is very splendid. I just need a body to really fight for that.

"Dion......"

"Slade......?

"Hmm!"

"Whew!"

I stood up and waved my fist.

It's an attack in a position that's nothing more than a dion. To this extent, you would not normally be frightened.

But Dion breaks the balance.

"Dion, you're not in a position to fight right now. This attack proved to be a blow..."

"Knock..."

With this attack, Dion's condition was understandable.

Obviously, he won't be in a state where he can fight. I can't let him fight like that.

"I'm sorry. I can't help you..."

So, that's what Dion muttered about.

I guess you regret not being able to fight yourself. But you don't have to worry about that.

"No problem. There's no one in this battle who hasn't helped. At least that's what I think..."

"Slade......"

I lend Dion my shoulder and wake up that body.

Doing so conveyed the weight of Dion. Little, I guess, is powered by that body. Quite a bit, he's keeping his body with me.

He's an idiot trying to fight with a body like this. But I can respect that sentiment.

"Populi, can you ask for Dion?

"Yes..."

I'll leave Dion with Populi.

Then Dion slowly opens his mouth.

"I asked, both of you..."

"Oh, leave it to me"

"Yes!"

That's all I said, Dion and Populi left.

I'll look Celia in the face.

"Until Dion's minute, we have to work hard..."

"Yes, let's definitely win"

"Oh."

Dion's inability to fight is something he could have predicted.

For that reason, we must both defeat the Dark Knight.

But I'm sure you'll be fine. We can't lose to the Dark Knight.

"Mr. Slade, Mr. Celia"

"Yeah?"

"Ah..."

So determined, we heard the sound of knocking on the door in our ears, with words.

I'll open the door again. Then there stood one knight.

"The match will begin. To the arena, please."

"Oh, okay. I'll be right there."

"Yes!"

Apparently, it's time for the game.

I turn my face to Celia and let go of my words.

"Let's go, Celia!

"Yes!"

This is how we headed to the arena.

Finally, the battle against the Dark Knights restarts.
