Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

The students were not particularly informed of the current situation, and the first day was to be completed.

Me and Illis first left the spot to Remill and the knight to rendezvous with the students.

Aria didn't hear it too deep, but she whispered, "Let me hear it later," she said.

And at night Remill just asked me what's going on.

There are four remaining Swordsmen. One is Zenas Lardey, a man with a red sword.

It was Teng himself who assaulted the "Black Wolf Knights" in Wang Du, and it was also a factor that created the cooperative relationship between the current Knights and Ruino.

I've also heard about why Ruino Tomra came here.

Things are so much simpler than I thought.

Both the swordsmen and Ruino are after me - as for Zenas, they are after Ruino for some reason.

If you're just after me... it's a lot easier than protecting others. After Remill finishes talking to me, I'm going back to the inn.

Remill is standing by for a branch in this town. Even during the night, the knights will be committed to ensuring the safety of their students and the town.... I just think about it a little bit.

(If you're after me, do you have a choice?)

"Doctor."

"! Aria."

In front of the inn, Aria was waiting for me.

Dressed in a black piece, she approached me early,

"You're gonna let me talk, aren't you?

"Sure, I'll talk to you."

To Aria and to Illis - I'm going to listen and tell them.

For once, me and my girlfriends are here as part of the school class.

Check the perimeter, but there's no sign of Illis there with us all the time.

"What happened to Mr. Iris?

"... he said he was going to wave his sword. I stopped it, but I'm not going that far."

Aria says as she looks at the seaside.

Even in this situation, what Illis does remains the same - no, now is probably why he has a strong desire to 'wave the sword'.

"The knights are also on placement throughout town. But... I can't impress you with walking alone in time."

"Even a teacher does."

"Because I'm a teacher. Shall I pick up Mr. Iris?"

"Okay."

I'll take Aria and walk out of town. Because of the street lights, I don't have a problem walking around town, but when I'm by the sea, it's dark and I can't see ahead.

To see from Aria's direction earlier, I guess this is the one where Illis headed.

In my direction, I don't talk, I follow.

"Illis found out after all."

"You didn't think Mr. Iris was in battle with the swordsmen. As a result, we had to talk."

"... this time, I didn't want to put Iris in danger,"

Aria groans at potpourri and that.

"Assuming you were the one being targeted - are you going to keep your mouth shut again to Mr. Iris"

"I'm going to tell the teacher. I won't hide it anymore. And to the Illis... about consulting, I think so."

Slightly toothless, Aria replied. Perhaps it was because of one case of 'Nortoria' that Iris became an extra 'worry seed' for Aria.

Illis is certainly strong - but she's about to lose her life once to save Aria.

And vice versa, Aria, too, is risking her life to protect Illis.

"You guys are really like each other even though you don't have the same personality."

"... right? Unlike Iris, I can't force myself."

"Haha, from what I can tell, they're both easy types to force."

"That's not true. Iris doesn't have the option of 'running away'. I have - this is a clear difference"

Indeed, what Aria says is not wrong. Iris is not the type of person who chooses to 'retreat' no matter what kind of opponent he is.

On the other hand, Aria would be the type who could do that. There, though, if Illis wasn't involved.

"Dr. Alta was... Kensei, wasn't he?

Unexpectedly, Aria asks.

Since I told you that, Aria has never asked me about 'the fact'.

"That's right. I'm only talking to you, so keep it a secret."

"I know that. You're not gonna tell that story to Illis?

"Nothing, because I'm not talking about teasing. Besides, I remember a guy like me who was a sword saint... for suddenly telling me that, believe me?

"Illis will believe you. Neither do I. That's why you talked to me, right?

"... there's that, too, because that's what I was thinking about then, especially how to be a trusted person to you. I wondered what I'd do if it worked the other way around."

"Now that I know why the teacher is strong, I have credibility. But that's also true about that. Doctor is the type to hide anything. Will you talk to me after this?

"Of course, I'll talk to you about what's going on."

I intend to share information about who I should be dealing with right now. Even in the absence of me, Iris and Aria can handle it. [M] I trust them, too, for that matter.

"... not only that, Illis cared a little"

"What?

"Illis met a kid named Ruino. He and Dr. Alta must know each other."

"Oh, is that what you mean? I don't know anything about a kid named Ruino. That's true."

"So, 'Tomra' too?

To Aria's inquiry, I stop. [M] Her expression is serious - I'm there, finally, to understand the sincerity of the inquiry.

Like "Nortoria," I wonder if that surname makes sense for "Tomla," or that's what it means.

"Right...... in that sense, no worries. Maybe I could just talk a little bit to you, though. I know it's Kensei."

"What do you mean?

"Nothing, it's not even an interesting story. It's just that a man who called me a friend of his own was named Tomra."

It's not about Alta Schweitz - it's about Raul Isalf.

So in this case, you can tell me that I have nothing to do with Ruino.

In the first place, I don't even know if Ruino is involved with a man I know called Tomra.

"Then there's a chance that a kid named Ruino might be involved with a teacher's friend?

"Maybe there is. But that has nothing to do with this one again. Don't worry about that. Either that or the swordsmen -"

I was talking to Aria, and I accidentally noticed the signs and stopped talking.

Signs of a girl holding the sword, with tremendous concentration.

At the dark seaside, I could see one girl waving a sword made of magic, even from afar.

"You sound like Mr. Illis. Mr. Aria, let's talk about this after we rendezvous. Anyway, I don't even know if I have anything to do with Ruino Tomra... that's the truth"

To my words, Aria nods as she is convinced. What we need to do now is deal with the swordsmen.

The glowing sword is a simulated sword made of magic - under the Illis waving it, me and Aria head.

As I approached him, Illis noticed this way and turned around.

"It's okay to train, but you're not allowed to go out at this hour."

"Dr. Schweitz...... I'm sorry, I was just waving my sword."

Did something happen in the battle ahead - no, if there's something you care about, is it about me and Ruino that Aria was talking about earlier?

He replies that it has nothing to do with that...... Remill has spoken of it and it may be medium difficult for Illis to convince him.

I know about Tomra... and I'm sure Illis understands that too.

"As I promised earlier, Mr Iris, I will explain this matter. Let's go back to the inn first."

"Okay. But before I do... I need a favor."

With Illis holding the simulated sword, he turns a serious eye and says it away.

"With me - would you seriously fight me?

That was the same word as when I had just met Illis.
