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

I was in Captain Zagil's captain's office.

So I was asking about Frost.

"Well, that concludes the Argus story. But I still have something to worry about."

"What do you care?

Captain Zagil has said that since I asked him about Frost.

I wonder what's bothering me.

"That's what Argus was saying during the game with you"

"What I was saying...... no way"

"You seem to be aware. Yeah, he said that after he heard me."

Captain Zagil told me, and I remember too.

Frost heard from Captain Zagil about the backdrop, and he said nothing.

Frost, the leader of the Dark Knights, called someone with respect.

"Behind Argus, there's someone. Perhaps he who binds the Dark Knights."

"He who binds the Dark Knights..."

I mean, there's got to be someone behind Frost.

I guess the one who binds the Dark Knights, as Captain Zagil put it.

That's who the hell it is and what power it has. Pretty important.

"In the first place, it's also a question of who the Dark Knights are. How he got something dark and powerful. What the hell does it mean to be our pair? The doubts are endless..."

"... right"

As Captain Zagil put it, there's a lot you don't know about dark knight-related.

I guess we have more information for that. But before you get it, it's also possible that the Dark Knights will attack again.

"Slade, I will always rely on you for a lot of things. Please, please."

"Yeah, I'll take care of it"

I snort slowly at Captain Zagil's words.

Our battle with the Dark Knight will probably continue.

Even then, I fight.

Thus ended Captain Zagil's story.

◇ ◇ ◇

After I left Captain Zagil's captain's office, I was coming to the training ground.

Then, there, three men, Celia, Selik and Noir, were waving their swords.

"Ah! Master!

"Mm-hmm? Slade, are we done?

"Oh."

"Surprisingly, that was quick..."

"Yeah? Surprisingly?

All three of you, make sure I look like you and stop that hand.

Selik and Noir look unexpected for some reason.

Is Captain Zagil's story usually that long?

"No, we just lost track of time? Fine, I was fighting for real..."

"Perhaps so..."

Selik and Noir answered my question that way.

That's surprising that you were fighting for real.

"Were you so serious?

"Oh, because Celia was stronger than I thought."

"Yes, your apprentice is quite hands-on. I almost got too excited."

"Really..."

Apparently, Celia was strong, so we both got serious.

That's a great pleasure for me.

I'll turn to Celia.

"Celia, apparently, you were strong enough to be no less than both of us"

"Yes. But I still haven't. I know by hand, but I don't think you two are any match yet."

That's what Celia's been saying to me.

This combination seems to have made me see quite a lot of things.

The face reminds me that it was pretty serious and Celia was close to being serious too.

"No, it would still be suspicious if I could beat you for real. You have the strength that I couldn't show you this time."

"As a matter of fact, Celia is beating the Dark Knight. Maybe it's a strong type of production."

That's what they called Celia.

The relationship between the three of them 'strengths, they don't know yet.

"Well, I'll just wave a little knife too..."

"Well, then, let's deal with it."

"I'm not exhausted yet."

On the basis of those three, I join them.

Our training followed for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

After my training, I was walking in the stronghold with Celia.

Thanks to Celik and Noir, I had a pretty good training today. Today, I'm very satisfied.

"Yeah?"

"Ah..."

"Oh..."

Faraes was walking in front of us like that.

We're stopping.

"It was just fine. I've been looking for you."

"Yeah? Really?

So Faraes has said that.

I wonder what they were looking for us for.

Could it be about the Dark Knight entanglement?

"Actually, I need to talk to Slade. Can you give me a moment after work today?

"Consultation? I don't mind..."

"Right. Well, thank you very much. Come to the captain's office in the evening. Oh, until then, you're gonna have a good break, right?

"Oh......"

That's all Faraes said, he walked away.

That makes me wonder.

"What the hell is consultation?

"Right?

Me and Celia were concerned about Faraes' words.

I wonder what consultation is all about.

If you're talking about knighthood entanglement, you don't bother choosing me to talk to, and if you're talking about your personal life, it shouldn't be like talking at this base.

"Well, you mean it's gonna be late today..."

"Right. I'll tell the others."

"Oh, I asked for it."

I don't know, but I'm not gonna think about it for now.

Anyway, we'll find out this evening.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was in the captain's office in Faraes in the evening.

To hear Pharaoh's counsel.

"You're here. It could be a little longer, so why don't we have dinner?"

"Yeah? Oh......"

Immediately about the captain's office, Faraes has said that.

On the desk were two lunches that Cretta would probably have made side by side.

Apparently, he had told Cretta beforehand.

"Longer is that such a long consultation?

"The consultation itself is, ease. But it could be a long time after that."

Sitting in a chair, opening my lunch box, I asked Faraes.

Something tells me it's a long time after the consultation. After the consultation, what the hell is waiting for you?

"I've been thinking about it"

"Yeah?"

"I once paired up with you. So I anticipated your strength and recommended you to the Knights"

"Oh......"

So Faraes started talking about that.

It was when I met Faraes.

"You've since fought a lot of different people. Sometimes, with a fellow knight. Sometimes, with demons. Sometimes, with the Dark Knight."

……

The look on Faraes's face is serious in itself.

From there, I understand that today's consultation is not just a matter.

This could get really long.

"You must be getting stronger. Maybe more than me."

"... what are you trying to say?

"Easy. I want to see you again."

That's how Faraes answered my question.

From the middle of nowhere, I understood that was the case.

But when they say it, it's shocking inside.

"I see..."

"Nothing, it doesn't have to be today. I just want to fight one day. If you need to get ready, we'll make time again later."

Apparently, it doesn't have to be today.

But if we don't fight today, Faraes will think about it all the time. That's how I feel, and I don't want Faraes to spend it.

Above all, there is no particular reason to say no.

"No, today's fine. All kinds of things, you're ready, aren't you?

"Oh, I have permission to use the arena. Most of all, there's no audience."

"Are we alone?

"Right. It's a fight between the two of us in the arena at night. A little, don't you think?

"No..."

I made up my mind to fight today.

Fighting Faraes has been since we first met.

At that time, I lost quickly. But not this time.

This is how I was going to fight Faraes.
