Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

That night, Illis was alone in the room.

I'm already looking up at the ceiling in my sleeping clothes.

(Dating……)

What I'm thinking is daylight - Aria's suggestion led me to go out with Alta again.

(No, it's not a date if you're just going out in the first place, is it? Yeah, that's right. Yet because Aria suddenly says something weird......)

As I tell myself, Illis tries to convince me.

But I can't get that word out of my head.

- Illis has never liked anyone.

Of course, there are people I like as family and friends. I've never been aware of anyone special.

For neither was that heart necessary for Illis to become the mightiest knight.

(Well, it's supposed to be...)

Iris puts his hand on his chest and takes a deep breath.

At the age of twelve, the weak crown, first class officer of The Black Wolf Knights - a boy who named himself "The Most Powerful" against Britain, known as "The Kensei Princess". It did as it was said, defeating Adil of the Swordsmen, who killed Garro Reinfel, the father of Illis.

... think, maybe since the mock match with Alta. What made you feel a little special?

Overwhelmed by swordsmanship was my first experience. I remember when I couldn't beat my father...... that's how I felt, but Illis has been helped since then by Alta.

Without Alta, Illis couldn't be here right now - that's for sure.

(Even if it's natural to thank...)

Will you be aware of Alta because of that? I had doubts about myself becoming conscious.

Iris wants Alta to teach him the sword. I believe that feelings are the best and there should be no other emotions.

Miscellaneous blunts the sword. As Alta taught us, it is necessary for Illis to wave his sword with one purpose.

'I want to be strong to protect someone', otherwise feelings shouldn't be needed in the present Illis -

(Yes... something I don't need)

Exhale deeply and recognize it so.

It's not a date or anything - I'm just going out for Aria.

What Illis should think about is beyond that, with the Empire.

"But yeah. Maybe it's necessary to make sure it's not."

Like a potpourri and a grunt, says Iris.

To deny the emotion he had, Illis was about to come on a weekend date.

At the same moment - Vero, the empire capital of the Falmea Empire.

There is a palace in the centre, where the emperors and the royals who accompany them live.

Furthermore, the Empire is also a military state. After the Emperor, there exists a Marshal who governs the army.

Lugar Bodle, was in the position of Supreme Commander of the present Imperial Army.

And his daughter, Aena Bodle, stood alone in the garden.

A positive face. He has long dark hair tied behind him, black trousers on his shirt and a simple outfit.

Touch the sword you lowered to your hips,

――

A flash. The surrounding grass swayed, along with the sound of the wind cutting.

Flowers spreading through the gardens set aside time to dance.

"... ugh"

"- Are you training at this late hour?"

"Oh, it's you."

It was one girl who showed up from behind Aena. Dressed in made-up clothes, he looks at Aena with a frightened look.

"It's not you. We will soon be heading to the King's Capital. It's not just night training, it's about when they go over there."

"Phew, say something different. Isn't that training for that time? Don't be too proud from day to day - that's the basics of the military."

"You don't have to be in a military position... you must have been forced to be an officer"

"It's something your father agreed with. Because I am also a born samurai. You don't sleep well if you miss your daily training."

Aena replies with a grin.

Against that answer, again, the girl exhales heavily.

"I don't care if you do. If they force me to fall, it will be my responsibility as a caretaker."

"Don't worry. It's my responsibility to take care of you, my boss."

"... I wonder what it is. I'm not wrong, but I feel like everything is wrong. No, that's just plausible, that's"

"Huh, you're right. But reasoning is also one of reasoning - it's all my fault. Convince me."

Thus, Aena waves her sword again.

"... ha. Sounds like you can't say anything."

The girl sighs loudly again.

Aena was exalted. According to the information I have heard, there are knights in the kingdom who have defeated as many as four Swordsmen.

One knight defeated a group of killers, including their leader, who excelled in swordplay.

There is also information that the Princess Kensei was also a part of it.

(Can this calm down... if I get a chance, I'd love to work with it)

As if she were a child waiting for an excursion, Aena makes her heart pound.

For the time to come, Aena continued to wave her sword.
