Standing before me are the two remaining assassins.

Step back so one can wolf, but the other doesn't look like he moved.

Under the robe, I could see the sheath. - I'm lowering my knife to my hip.

(This guy...)

An assassin with a knife gives instructions to the rear.

Then, following its instructions, the assassin disappeared from the spot. It will be one-on-one, not two-on-one.

One of them seems to have chosen a stepping stone.

An assassin with a knife leaves a step forward.

After a little silence, the assassin opened his mouth.

"You're not going after me."

"If you'll let me chase you, I'll chase you."

"Hmm, I can't do that"

"I guess."

"Let, Doctor...?

Iris asks me in a voice that seems worried.

I only send signals by hand to reassure her. [M] The first person - to be exact, this knocked him down to the third person.

But the assassin in front of you is slightly different in colour.

"When I heard you could fight the Sword Saint Princess, I came with joy. How could I, if I met him, have been a normal daughter? I didn't think it was worth fighting for if it was going to end with that kind of attack, but I guess I should say I'm still alive. - I didn't know someone like you was coming."

"That's complimenting me, is that okay?

"Whatever!

With his voice up, the assassin took off his robe. He ties his long gray hair behind him and wears an old-fashioned kimono.

Doesn't mean he's in good physical shape. Touch your hands on a knife lowered to your own hips as you stroke your beard.

"My name is Azma Klee. He's one of the swordsmen."

"Swordsman, crowd......!?

Hearing the words, Illis shouts a surprise.

I know that name, too.

Swords and knives - mercenary organizations that have found joy in using them to slaughter people. As long as they have money, they are said to be bound to slaughter and kill whatever opponent they may be, a half-legendary being.

- That's not an exception, even if the other person was Kensei.

"Well, do you know my daughter there?"

"I know nothing, I'm not famous......! I 'm-"

"Fine. I won't talk to you. Now the hand-worked kid there has an appointment."

"I didn't make any promises."

"Isn't that good? We are still seeing each other at this moment when we will slash each other. While we're talking, or after we're done talking. When I breathed again, or when I vomited - maybe when I closed my eyelids. Let's keep each other in fear of death."

"Fear of death. Isn't that how we feel about each other?

"... good, better and better. The longer this time lasts, the better. But I can't stand it anymore."

Moment after moment, Azma moved. I didn't move off the spot.

Slightly lower your hips and pull out the knife lowered to your hips. Loosely, I saw a silver glowing body.

Residence - one of the techniques used by those who use knives. Not between knives, but I can tell.

The blade reaches me - a blade made up of magic, to be exact.

In that sense, I could say it was similar to my swordsmanship.

The atmosphere trembles and the trees shake. The forces and forces that bumped into each other in the air created a huge impact.

Azma drops slightly backwards.

Invisible.

"! I didn't know anyone could tell just by looking."

We just waved a knife at each other.

Only then did Azma seem to understand my swordsmanship.

"I didn't just see it. It sounds like a sound, and the swordsmanship - is it the same as the Sword Sage?"

"If that's all you know, why don't you spare it?"

Now it's my turn to move.

I fell back slightly on the spot and waved my arms. There it is - The Invisible Blade. A sword created by the magic of the wind, only wind pressure.

Normally, it has no role as a sword.

Because the wind is invisible and has no entity.

But what I use is a wind blade. It releases magic strongly and creates a physical sword that entails magic for only a moment. It doesn't matter if you're dealing with someone somewhat far away. From where there is nothing, it will just feel slashed.

That's one of the swordsmanship that Invisible - Kensei Raul Isalf specializes in.

Between me and Azma, a few meters away, the sound of swords and swords colliding.

That's not a metal sound, it sounds like a compressed bag exploding. Bang, bang and shock, while invisible blades intersect. The settlement was also, for a moment.

"Hee-"

It was the wind blade rolled out by Azma that blurred my cheek.

It was my created blade of wind that cut through Azma's body. The wind, the wind, the blade and the bump of the blade - I went up.

At ease, Azma's body falls to the front.

In a moment, Azma rushed out as she stepped in. Put the knife in the sheath, and the look is impatient.

But it was also a joyful expression - I can well see Azma finding joy in the battle. I guess that's the swordsmen.

Still, it doesn't reach me.

――

A blow to the wrong side.

Cut off Azma's knife and my rolled blade will kill Azma this time.

Despite the fatal wounds, Azma slowly looks back and laughs.

"What's your name?

"Alta Schweitz. I just became a lecturer at this school yesterday."

"... Alta, huh? Thank God... I didn't know you'd feel so exhilarated at death... Kuha, kuha -"

Azma laughed out loud at the end and fell down on the spot.

I stopped moving. Look at that.

"... ugh"

Exhale small. I was just a little nervous.

Anyway, I haven't fought in a long time.

Swordsmen - When that level comes to something else, this escort mission could break quite a bit of bones.

If there are other guys on the same level working together, there are other things that should come for the life of Illis.

Not to mention the fact that one of my buddies could do it. If there's a bunch of guys with a character like Azma, it must be just a bunch of combat fanatics.

(... as demanding that the head of the regiment increase his salary, that's this way first)

……

With the look on his face, Illis looks at me.

One of us got away with it, but I can't help it all this time. Because if you tried to chase him poorly, there was also a chance that Illis could do it.

Is there still leftover paralysis venom, Illis weakens to lean on the spot.

I approached under such an iris,

"Think of my seriousness as that. I don't know why you want to fight me so much, but I think you know how strong I am."

……

"First, shall we return?"

When I reached out, Illis took my hand softly.

The hand was gripped so hard that I didn't think it was paralyzed.

"Thank you, thank you. And I caught him."

"Huh!"

I open my eyes with surprise. [M]

That's what she said after watching me fight.

(This kid, are you serious...)

Surprisingly, I haven't been able to answer the words of Illis for a while.
