Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai
152. The Strongest Swordsman
"Ha, ha... I can't believe you took my arm at all,"
On the back road with few people, there was Lusa Prominent.
The area of the missing arm is burned and hemostatic - but the pain does not draw, as usual. As she sweats, Lusa makes sure to lean against the wall and exhale small.
"... but now the purpose has been achieved. Later, just go home, Na"
I did what Lutha had to do - it was taken deep by a non-standard knight named Alta Schweitz, but it is complete for its original purpose.
"- You think you can go home? In front of me."
"... Huh!
It was the girl's voice that reached Lusa's ear. When I looked in the direction of my voice, it was the girl in military uniform who stood there.
"Aena Bodle... what are you doing here?
"Phew, say something different than 'why'. If you're here, what's so strange about me being here? Because we're people from different countries."
"... you know about Atashi, Na?
"I have trouble getting you to lick our information network. You must be the Witch of the Western Union. It was only very recently that I learned that I was entering this country."
"Pfft, if you know that much... don't you need to hide it? But you guys were a little late...? Haylon Stiletto of the Knights of Holy Armor, who was in" alliance "with you, is - dead. The Falmea Empire lost its connection to the kingdom, didn't it?
"... which Knights are you guys connected to?
"You think I'm gonna tell you?
"No, I'm going to capture you because you won't tell me. You don't think I can get away with this, do you?
With Aena's words, a figure appeared around her.
One girl opposite Aena. On the building, too, there are two figures.
Her men must have been lurking - tough to deal with the 'elite' on the imperial side, including Aena, in Lusa's deep-handed state.
"Are you saying we should catch Atashi and even torture him, Na?
"Of course, I'll do that if I have to. If it's necessary to protect the country."
"Heh heh, good answer... nothing, but if you're the ones who make the 'alliance' with the Atassis, it's gonna help."
"That's an impossible story, witch"
"... why not?
"You'll see. Already, I don't care what you guys are doing. That is the same as the extremists in our country who wish to commit acts of aggression against other countries. I'd like to get rid of all of them... but when they do something that stands out to the" foreign enemy "they have at hand. So here I am. Enough with the questions - if you're going to get caught by adults, I'll only guarantee your life."
"Phew - Ha, ha, still, is it a 'princess' when you say military man, Na? With all kindness..."
"He says he's not going to ask questions. Merche, I'll get this guy. Don't let them get away with it."
"Yes - Eh!
The girl Aena waits for face-to-face - she spoke to Merche.
But Merche responds to the word while looking back.
Because I realized the existence of the 'enemy' that came there.
Merche stands firm. But with that 'swordsmanship', Merche was blown away with dismay.
Barely, I spared a direct hit, but in such a way that I could hit the wall.
"Damn!?
"Merche!"
Aena moved quickly. Ena would soon have understood that swordsmanship was so overwhelming as to overwhelm Merche - not so much.
What showed up was a man dressed in armor. He has also released a 'familiar move' to Aena. An invisible blade of wind - Invisible.
Aena reacts aggressively and dodges it.
Aena's men also try to make a move, but they are critical because they react to Invisible and are not able to rush right to Aena.
In just a few seconds, the man makes you understand that he is the strongest in the field.
If you notice - Lutha was held by a man in armor who suddenly appeared.
"The swordsmanship... who are you?
……
The armored man does not answer. You'll even remember fear in the way you hold your sword, keeping your silence pierced.
But Lusa, held by a man, answered Aena's question with a grin.
"Heh heh, you guys know a lot of people sa. He's the strongest swordsman you'll ever beat."
"The strongest, swordsman...? No way."
"That's no way sa. Sage of the Sword - Raul Isaac, that's him.
The man who helped Lusa is the most powerful swordsman ever.
For years, a time when he never showed up, but even began to show up to the girl who inherited the name "Princess Kensei".
That's when the mightiest man showed up.
