To Be a Power in the Shadows!

The week opened and the martial arts festival main battle began.

I hear your sister enters the venue first. I was searching for a seat with one hand for the ticket my sister gave me.

Tickets with luxurious gold leaves seem like special seats. Moving on to rely on seating guidance on the back, there was something about a gorgeous door room. Unlike regular audience seats, this is the only place isolated by mystery.

I checked with the staff in front of the door thinking it wasn't here, wasn't it?

I was led indoors with a very polite response and wanted to go home the moment I went inside. [M]

This isn't a special seat. It was a hyper VIP seat.

All the great nobles and their families I remember looking somewhere. The school's top karst momentum is more or less a set. To the daughter of the captain of the active Demon Sword Knights, who was with me in the class of one part of Wangdu Busin Stream, handsome second son of the Duke's family. It's just a familiar facial rash.

When I was guided to my seat, there was a royal next door.

"Oh, what about you?

A beauty with burning red eyes and hair. Alexia's sister, Princess Iris Midgal, was there.

"My name is Sid Cagheno. Looks like I got the wrong seat. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Go around magnificently. Attempt exit on the right.

"Oh, is that Mr. Claire's brother? So Claire gave you the ticket."

"... you know my sister?

The exit ended in failure. You can't ignore being spoken to by royalty. Except for Alexia.

"Yeah, we got along in the wake of my sister's kidnapping. Claire will be joining the Red Knights after graduation. Please take your seats."

"No......"

"There's no doubt about the seats. Please have a seat."

"... excuse me"

Princess Iris' unmalicious smile is hard. If you smile with nothing but malice, like Alexia, go around with your middle finger. You can afford the right.

"I've heard a lot from Mr. Claire about Mr. Sid. I envy you for being a very close sister and brother."

"No, it shouldn't be so much"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Sid seems to be getting along with Alexia."

"We were close, well... it was just a matter of picking up the gold coins thrown"

"Gold coins thrown?

"The one who threw a stick at the dog to get it."

"You were playing with your dog. Alexia took care of you."

"You're with your dog or I'm your dog... nothing. Well, the source of the gold coins is the royal family, so in that sense, this is the only way to look after them."

Princess Iris smiled with heartfelt joy listening to me.

"My sister and Mr. Sid seem really close."

"No, that's not true at all"

"I was actually planning on coming to Alexia today, but suddenly I said I didn't want to come..."

"Ha ha, did you"

"I'm sorry"

"No. No. I don't care, really."

That's how we talked for a while over a drink of service.

"Who will be featured in Iris this year?"

The daughter of the active Demon Sword Knight Commander joined the story.

"I'd like to know."

You, the handsome second son of the Duke's family, have a crush on the story too.

They seem to know Princess Iris because of the connection between the Wang Du Busin Stream.

"All players in the main battle are on the lookout, but if you dare mention it..."

Princess Iris chooses words with her hands on her cheeks.

"You're Annerose, the former Vegarta Seven Martial Swords. The martial arts festival main battle will be lined up with faces I've seen, but she's in for the first time this year. I've also seen the finals of the qualifying round, but I have definite strength. If you win, you'll hit me in two fights, but I'm looking forward to it..."

I was confident in her face smiling.

"I saw it, too, but Master Annerose is strong. I can't seem to win right now..."

"I saw it, too. But it's Master Iris who wins. The wind of the Wang Du Busin Stream is strong from that incident, so if you can win Iris here..."

"Hey, it would be different to push on Master Iris"

"No, I didn't mean to..."

Iris' voice blocks the two arguing.

"It's okay. Because I'm going to win over my ex. Neither Wang Du Busin Liu, nor this country. I'm going to carry everything."

"Dear Iris..."

It's a boulder.

I'm sorry for the serious atmosphere, but I'd love for this topic to be mixed up with me.

"Um, there are other featured players......?

I cut in without reading the air.

"Speaking of which, who are you?

"No, I think I saw it somewhere... Oh, you're a junior who came to one before."

"Oh, I remember. Dear Alexia..."

"He is Mr. Sid Cagheno. This is Mr. Claire's brother."

The two nod with a convincing look at Princess Iris' follow-up.

"Unlike Mr. Claire, you didn't have the talent. You don't give up, you train."

"That was a pampering sword. It won't even start if you look up there, so go down the tunnel."

Thank you for your two seniors' appreciated advice.

"Hi. So, does Master Iris have any other notable players?

"Right......"

"Did you say, for example, with Jimina, the opponent of Game 1 of Dear Annerose? Or, he's in for the first time too."

I investigate Jimina's reaction in an extremely natural flow.

"Jimina... I haven't seen his game yet, so whatever"

Princess Iris clouded her words.

Okay. Princess Iris doesn't know Jimina yet, he said.

"Oh, I saw it. The sword was fast, but I guess that's all. The structure is amateur and feels lucky to have won. I'm pretty sure Master Annerose won."

"I've seen it too... but he doesn't deserve to go on stage in the main battle. Momentum alone doesn't have the strength."

They certified Jimina as a miscellaneous fish.

You're more or less on schedule. Up to this point, I have almost complete control over my ratings for Jimina.

All set.

This is where it starts...

"I'm not an athlete, but I have one person to keep an eye on"

Princess Iris told me that she was satisfied with what she heard.

"He's the first winner of the Takegami Festival, and it looks like the Elf Kensei, known as Takegami, is coming to the King's Capital"

"Elf's Sword Saint...... no way!

"She shouldn't be on the table stage for over ten years now!

Eh.

"Everyone in this battle is paying attention to the trends of Master Wushu Beatrice"

Who's there?

I wasn't paying attention.
