Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

Iris watched as the silver light flooded out of the collapsed ground.

Illis doesn't know what's going on.

But I guess one of the full blows was fired - yes, it made me feel.

"What about the teacher?

It was Aria who called from behind.

I was asking Aria, who had just recovered, to take the girl that Illis protected to a safe place.

"I don't know. But the blow just now may have settled it."

"Yes."

Aria hears it and sits down next to Illis.

"Just in case, you should leave."

"Then why are you waiting with me?

"Because Illis won't listen to you if you say so"

"... yeah, sorry"

"Fine, for dessert."

Because Alta said he was going to win - and Ilis decided to believe him, who he named the strongest.

Even if it wasn't Alta coming back, Illis has to settle here.

That's why I didn't move from here.

Time passes with nothing happening for just a few minutes. And - Gann, and there's a loud noise in a building nearby.

"Huh!"

Iris and Aria react and get up.

If you think it sounded twice or three times, this time the door will be cut open.

It was Alta who showed up from there.

"I see the underground ladder was connected here."

"Dr. Schweitz!

Iris tries to get up and head under Alta, but doesn't stand up well.

More than I can imagine, I realize that I still have damage.

Alta runs down Illis and Aria.

"You'll be fine as it is."

"Doctor, did you win?

"Of course, I promised."

Alta nods and answers Aria's words.

Promise - it's a promise to help Illis.

It must be about Alta in this country that you can really accomplish that to your Swordsmen opponents.

Thinking of it that way, Illis accidentally spills a grin.

(Really, the teacher is so much more than me or something - yeah, that's why I tried to get the teacher to tell me)

From the first time I put my sword together, it was something I knew. To the fact that Alta is much stronger than Illis.

"Uh, Doctor, I don't know what to say..."

Once again, when I made sure Alta was safe, I couldn't put it into words. Take a deep breath once and calm your mind.

Thus, Illis went on with his words.

"Dr. Schweitz, thank you so much... I think my father will be rewarded for this."

"I'm not thankful. I just took for granted what I could do."

"... after all, the teacher is amazing. You said you didn't need to strive for the strength of a teacher, but I want to strive for that strength. With the will of my father, so that I may stand at the same height as my teacher."

Illis makes it clear, that's the word.

I just don't want to be like Alta. I wanted to be a knight like my father and stand alongside Alta with it - no, I really wanted to be able to transcend it.

Alta snorts and answers when she hears it.

"If that's Mr. Iris' goal, I'll be there for you. You're also my student, so I think I can get on as much as a pathway consultation."

"There is no path consultation or anything in this situation. But thank you."

Illis and Alta laugh at each other.

Now the battle is over - but

"Sa, a knight will be here shortly. Ilis and Aria too, just in case."

"I'm fine, am I?

"Just in case."

"Um, the teacher...?

"It's okay. Because I won't go far. I just have something to collect."

"What to collect...?

Ilis inquired.

Alta snorts, gazing a little further away.

"Well, the rest isn't my job,"

Yes, I told him to whine.

In a room in the royal palace, Zeil Tiroke remembered his frustration.

With all that power in place, the knights heard the fact that the Swordsmen were defeated earlier.

"Illis was safely protected, so...? What are you doing, you incompetent bastards...!

All I'm saying is I'm a killer hired with gold - yes, I hit things eight times like I throw up.

"We were all killed amicably by saying it in such a way that we could kill for sure - that's hilarious, really. Swordsmen..."

With bumps and evil, Zeil makes his thoughts circle.

If nothing moves like this, even if it were suspected, the investigation would never reach Zeil - some knights in The Guardian Knights are cooperative with Zeil. It has a math that gives you mouth-to-mouth alignment.

- I'll report to you.

"... what? Why are you here now?

Unexpectedly, he appeared to be a human being in a unit under his control. With a masked pattern, Zeil is judging it.

In fact, it's a unit made up of all the killers hired with gold.

I magically change my voice so I can't tell, but I know it's a woman.

I got down on my knees and started talking in a pale explanatory tone.

"Earlier, the two swordsmen lost..."

"I hear that stuff from the Knights of the Royal Palace! You don't have to come to the report now! None of the killers other than the swordsmen were useless!

In a rambling tone, Zeil clearly ran out of words.

I have trouble finding out the connection by being moved poorly - that's why I'm supposed to be telling you not to come as far as possible inside the royal palace, but the awareness around it was low, including the swordsmen's faces.

"Shit, that's why I hate incompetence...!

"Really? That's exactly what you're saying when you put yourself on the shelf."

"... what?

Seeing a masked woman with Zeil's angry look.

A woman took off her mask.

"Hey, you..."

"Dear Zeil Tiroke, I was wondering if you should know all about the people in your unit."

It wasn't the killers who were there - it was Remil Ayne, the leader of The Black Wolf Knights.

Zeil's expression turns into something of a rush.

"The current language is reflected in this Crystal. 'Cause I'm gonna confess that you targeted Miss Iris Reinfel."

Remill or what you have in your hand is something that can record sound.

I guess you recorded your conversation with Zeil now.

- The fact that he targeted the assassin.

"I confess... with that..."

"You will also come to realize that for what was suspected. And this mask is what Phis Maiden, one of the Swordsmen, had. Though I think it would be too good a reason to be suspicious on your behalf."

……

I was cornered - that's how I felt. Zeil flutters.

Even if it was suspected, it would not be easy to reach out to Zeil, one of the "Next King" candidates and son of the current king.

That is what led us to connect in the form of the defeat of the swordsmen.

"You can accompany me."

"... No, I don't think so -"

Zeil holds a straight sword that was right beside him.

Take a sword with your own family crest and turn it toward Remill.

"Are you going to resist?

"Naturally! I get caught in a place like this......!? It can't be! You must have been hit in the arm by that office...? Even I can escape if I use a hidden passage. After I kill you!

Zeil moves.

I have confidence in the arms of the sword - that's enough to aim for a victory without even Illis.

If it's enough to kill the Knights of the Hands, there's no reason. But...

"- What?"

When he noticed, Zeil was being slammed to the floor.

They took my arm and threw me straight at Remill.

I try to get up instantly, but a sword sticks out under my neck.

"You are - no, you seem to be overconfident of your own strength. Power, sword arms. If I can't use my arms, I don't have enough to capture you."

"... ugh!

"Well, let's say it again. Zeil Tiroke, I'm detaining you on charges of attempted assassination on Ilis Reinfel. This is something we already have permission from the King."

From Remill's words, I was clearly told that.

After exhaling loudly, Zeil lets go of his sword.

- Thus, the assassination aimed at Illis closes the curtain.

Leaving a big claw mark that the son of the current king had targeted the next king candidate, Illis.
