I was coming to the arena at night with Faraes.

Here, I fight Faraes.

"Well, there's one thing I don't want you to get me wrong"

"Yeah? What?

"Today's game doesn't mean we want meaning."

"Hmm...?

I wasn't sure what Faraes said.

I don't know what it means to be not looking for meaning.

"I mean, somehow, this doesn't mean that if you win, if I win, your ratings change, or anything like that."

"Oh, I see..."

With that word, I kind of understand.

In short, I guess this doesn't mean that, as captain of the Knights, you weigh something.

Daikon, that's what I was expecting. So it's not surprising.

"But that doesn't mean you don't really want meaning, does it?

"Sort of. Earlier, I was captain of Squad Four. From here, as one human word, Faraes, take it."

"Oh, sure."

But that is Faraes' position story.

This battle is about being an individual who has nothing to do with the Knights.

"I've always wanted to fight you. Ever since we first met..."

"Since then..."

"I was envious to see the other knights fight you. I wish I could cross my mind like that with you..."

Faraes said so with a slightly sad look.

I'm just a little surprised by that word. Because I never imagined it, like that.

Come to think of it, I didn't feel like fighting about Faraes because I feel the same way about my family.

But Faraes wasn't.

"I'm sorry... I didn't realize how you felt"

"No, I don't mind. That's not why I had a strong obsession. 'Cause it's not all about fighting, is it? For me, every day I spend with you is very important. So the desire to fight is only a fraction"

That's what I said, Faraes laughed.

That smile is Faraes as usual.

"Well, but I guess that's what you thought? So this is how I called it in today"

"Right. I can't keep it down anymore. So around here, I thought I'd spit it out once."

"I see..."

Me and Faraes slowly got our hands on each other.

Each other, a state of battle. Anytime, the battle can begin.

"There is no referee, but shall we follow the rules of the knight for once? Let's win or lose on Tencount."

Oh, I don't mind.

"Now, when this coin is on the ground, let's start the match"

Faraes took a coin out of his nostalgia.

And kick it off with your fingers.

The coins dance through the universe and fall slowly.

Think of it, the battle against Faraes was the beginning of this world.

Thinking about it, it's kind of emotional.

"Let's go!

"Oh!"

As soon as the coin was on the ground, I was running out.

I have seen Faraes' sword moves several times before.

But I don't know that much.

"Ahhh!

That's why I decided to head from the front.

It's an attack without small work. I want to figure out how to respond to this.

"Ha!"

"Come on!"

My sword was taken by the sword of Pharaoh.

In that state, we enter the impasse.

This is the same situation as the first one.

"Ha..."

"Hehe..."

At that moment, we were laughing at each other.

Last time, I felt the difference, but now I don't have it.

In other words, the strength difference is changing. That made me laugh. Probably the same for Faraes.

"Come on!"

"Huh!"

So we distance ourselves from each other.

Because as it was, I didn't feel right.

In the current offense, I was slightly more powerful. With that, Faraes must have fallen back.

Meanwhile, I was wary of Faraes' sword moves, which I do not yet know, and retreated.

"You've grown stronger. Just what I thought."

"Well, there's been a lot..."

We were starting a conversation as we asked each other how things were going.

It's supposed to be a slaughter fight, but it's going to be a wonder.

Again, with the others and Faraes, the battle will be different.

"When I paired up with you, I thought. You still don't know that much about the fight, do you?

"I see... were you spotting it?

"Oh, so I thought you were just going to fight a few fights and get stronger. Perhaps the many battles that have taken place since you came to this world have made you stronger."

Faraes' words were very convincing.

In the previous world, I fought only as well as my master. I fought with the world champion, but that wasn't even a fight.

In other words, I had little experience in action. That happened several times in this world. I guess that made me stronger.

"Then you'll take all the help you can get."

"Oh, where I want..."

I'm getting closer to Faraes again.

In the end, we don't know what sword moves Faraes is going to set up.

But not being set up would most likely be a sword move for counters and defenses.

So while I'm alert to it, I'm going to find a way to break it down.

"Secret Sword moves! Earthquake!"

"Ha!"

Faraes took my sword.

But the sword move I unleashed is an attack that strains Faraes' arm.

For this reason, it is perfectly fine to be prevented. That's what I thought.

"Ha!

But I fell to the ground at some point.

In a flash, I don't know why.

I don't think they did the counter. Because there is no sense that the sword of Pharaoh has been knocked in.

"One, two"

"Come on!"

With that in mind, I heard Faraes.

With that voice, I finally realized I was down.

I can think about it later. Now, you have to get up.

I put my strength into my body and get up all at once.

"Ha!

"Three... No, you stood up"

When I got up, Faraes gave me a smile.

Apparently, this place is still a prelude. With this much, there may have been an expectation that there was no reason to fall.

Still, isn't this smile sloppy in the middle of the fight? You were supposed to be serious about it, but you're going to be disturbed.

"Again, you stood me up. Glad to hear it."

"I don't know, you're in a good mood?

"It's been a long time since I've fought like this, and that opponent is you. There's no reason to be in a bad mood in this situation, is there?

"Is that what it is..."

Faraes is always busy with paperwork and directive system orders.

The job is not to move your body, but to do it at your desk.

For that reason, they're pretty happy to move these bodies.

It seems special that it's me. When they say that, it makes me kind of happy.

Apparently, Faraes is good at upsetting my mind.

"But the blow earlier could have been a little mean. I know your hand, but you don't know mine..."

"I don't mind. Including that, it's a fight."

"Right. You're sweet."

I'm not familiar with Faraes' tactics.

But Faraes knows my sword moves.

At first glance, this would seem like an unfair.

"Besides, I didn't give you everything. Some have never had the chance to use it in battles before."

"Really... that's exciting. Then let's get to know each other fully."

"Oh!"

Me and Faraes, we'll do it again.

Our battle has only just begun.
