91. Sandy Beach Archaeology

"Yes, at that rate."

……

Blink by the water while Illis remains silent.

I was teaching her to swim in the form of pulling hands. It's not that I don't like water, it just didn't come purely - at the current pace, I'd be able to swim early.

I just see the beach sometimes as Illis cares.

He stopped giving out a little bit, but he's really concerned about Aria's presence.

Think of it, they are both best friends, family, and also the pattern between competing.

Based on the character of the IRIS, the present state of affairs, which seems to expose half the weaknesses, may not be acceptable in the end.

Or, "don't look" at Aria would be different. When this happens, it's best to use it.

"If you don't want to be seen in your current state, concentrate and encourage practice"

"! Su, Sumi Ma - Wapu"

It seems that Iris has reacted so heavily to my words that he drank sea water. With a cough, Illis rises.

"Ah, ho, ho, ho"

"Are you all right? Sorry, if I pull it more properly."

"Ugh, yes... it's my fault for what I found out..."

"Illis, come on"

"Wow, I know! Look at that now! I'll be able to swim better than you soon enough to show you!

"Yeah, I've been watching"

Feeling like earlier, I just feel like mastering an aria class swim would take some time.

Whatever, she showed a straight, beautiful landing, even if she jumped off the high ground.

There was no waste of swimming afterwards, and I can tell you it was an aria-like swim.

Illis is quick to remember too, but one way or another her swimming is a powerful one.... I can tell you both have character.

"Because of this, shall we take a break? I'll see how the students are doing once."

"Sorry, it's just me..."

"No, because from what I've seen, you guys wanted to play anyway, Aura. It was full speed. It was about Mr. Iris who wasn't interested in the ocean."

"Ugh..."

Illis with a sober look. You just messed around too much...... thinking so, Aria comes to Illis.

"If you want to take a break, let's play"

"You don't know what a break means...? Well, I don't mind."

Hilariously, Illis sees me. Before I said break, you care if I can play. That's about as much as Iris cares about such details.

I shrug my shoulders and answer. [M]

"Please make sure there's no danger."

"Oh, I won't do that."

Illis immediately denied it. But what Aria has is a mock sword - when you hand it to Illis,

"Seaside auditions are good, too."

"... you certainly don't get to practice in places like this"

What did you just answer me? [M] Well, I don't suppose there's any perception of where archaeology might be dangerous for Illis.

While I sigh, I return to see how the students are doing.

The other knights were on surveillance, so there was a more peaceful appearance on the beach than usual.

Occasionally, I hear bad patterned men come near the sea, but I can't even see the shards like that.

I guess the knights have some sort of response before they approach.

There doesn't seem to be a problem over there - check that out from the bigger rocks and look back.

Then Iris and Aria, who had already entered a system of collision, were facing each other with their weapons.

"That feels weird..."

"It's a sandy beach, so it doesn't feel the same as usual -"

At the same time as the words of Illis, Aria ran out. I am not lost in that movement, but I run with the sand firmly in place. On the other hand, a slightly delayed response, Iris, entered a defensive posture.

Aria with a dagger fires a blow like she wears.

"... Huh!

Iris takes it and falls back. But I lost my balance over whether stomping would not work on the unfamiliar sandy beach. Aria won't miss it. The ensuing onslaught - eventually, Iris' defense collapses and Aria's dagger is poked at Iris.

"Yes, my win"

"Hey, man, that's against the rules..."

"There is no foul play - this is my victory"

"What, uhh... okay. You just have to buy me a drink!?

"Yeah, it looks like the best"

"If that's the ambiguous way to put it, you can come with me."

"It's not gonna be a punishment game, is it?

... Apparently, while I was gone, he was supposed to go buy a drink if he lost the fight.

Aria was showing moves that she was also used to fighting in these places - I can see that she was taught a lot in preparation for all the battles. On the other hand, Illis had not been able to move as he thought with his feet taken by the sand.

One-on-one, a place of battle between knights - I guess that's where Illis exerts his most strength.

But what she aspires to is not on that level.

In that sense, maybe we should make him accustomed to the battle, not only swimming, but also here, to some extent.

(... well, once the swordsmen are cleared up, I guess)

Looking at the horizon, I think so.... It's still peaceful, but I've already decided what I need to do.
