Liquorice Chan and Holly, the day after the second duel.

In TB's talking room, the energetic extra nox, Marne, jumps around......

This was another energetic extra yumil dealing with the other guy.

Me and Yumil are the only members currently logged in.

"Don't come, Liquorice."

"Right..."

Liquorice went down last night just after the duel with Holly.

I logged out in a hollow state...

"I wanted to thank you for everything, so I didn't have to take a break."

He said, "Don't push it."

"I told him. Still coming."

It's an implicit understanding between us that we don't want to interfere with our personal lives in games...

If he/she says he/she is okay, we have to trust him/her.

Yumil nods and turns back to Knox.

"Right...... OK, Knox! Inmelman Turn!"

"Stop waving impotent. Although Knox would be in trouble."

"Huh? I think I can..."

As we look at each other in disagreement, Marne flies to the palm of my hand.

Nox at the time stares at the ceiling from Yumil's arm and has such cutthroat eyes......

"Oh, maybe it's like there's no ceiling... if it's a big place, you can do it? Knox."

"Ho!"

I replied... of, I guess? Awesome, Knox.

TB, which adjusts the word in its hand so that it is recognizable, is also TB.

I'm going to show you the look on Knox's face when Yumil just says how rough her nose is.

This guy......

"When we're all set, I want to get two of them out there. You're underexercising!

"I don't know if the Divine Beast needs exercise... but yeah, I haven't even figured out the specifications around there. Let's say we're going on a field hunt or something today."

"Uhm!"

Waiting while we talk, eventually the usual members log in one after the other.

What about Liquorice......

"Ha fu..."

"Phew... neem"

I've been logged in fluffy for a long time.

Siesta is sitting in a chair in a proper line and weakness.

"Looks like Siesta has two..."

"It's true...... well, apart from the usual people. Mr. Liquorice, I've been trying."

"Yeah, I don't know what else to do... Sainelia's story is usually about recovering in a whole day or so after this state of affairs. So isn't it back to normal tomorrow?

"Are you serious? You're resilient."

Liz, Sainelia bowed her head small as she watched the two of you dawdle with Mr. Serene.

"Excuse me...... I'd rather not force myself, too, I said. Thank you so much, Rico."

"- Oh, su, excuse me! Come on, Bo! Uh, yesterday, um..."

Liquorice suddenly stands up to see if Cynelia's words got in her ear.

Then rush around to thank us in turn for equipment, training help, advice, etc...

"Senior Hynd's last words worked! I wasn't sure what the word knight pride meant..."

"Huh."

"Senior...... Pfft"

When Siesta erupts small, she shudders with a pull so that she can laugh as she does.

No way... you didn't communicate your intentions at all!?

"I don't know, knight pride! Knight pride! If I was repeating it in my head, I would have gained strength! Then my body glowed and shielded me."

"Well, skills are activated just by remembering the word in your head..."

"It's a terrible natural experience, Lord Liquorice..."

Apparently, the skill activated was a phenomenon close to coincidence.

In order to prevent outbursts, my skills need to be well consciously chanting words in my head......

If I made a mistake, they would have pushed me off and lost.

To speculate, the existence of the skill 'Knight's Pride' was somewhat caught in one corner of Liquorice's memory.

Otherwise it should have been underdeveloped.

"It wasn't until today that I remembered the existence of a skill called Knight's Pride. I suddenly remembered during class! Oh, I wish I'd gotten that."

"So Rico, I was suddenly in class..."

"Ha-ha-ha!

Laughs inadvertently.

When it comes to laughter, there is no disgust in it, and the Lord of that voice makes you even feel refreshed...

"Oh, thank you. Mr. String Moon."

"Coming, String Moon!

"Hey, Heind. Yumil. And migratory birds, all the Hina birds."

"Ho...... Mr. String Moon!?

Lifting one hand, she softens her hair and Mr. String Moon enters the talking room.

It was Liquorice who made the sound of surprise.

Liquorice was the last one to log in... only one person leaked contact.

"I just got an email asking if I could come to the guild home. Excuse me, Mr. String Moon. Without even picking me up."

"That's okay, here's where I got here earlier than I was supposed to let you know. I'm sorry to bother you, but you're on your own."

As a local rule within TB, it is OK to enter the home on your own if you have been granted permission to do so.

That's why stepping in without hesitation is a source of trouble, but like Mr. String Moon, there's nothing wrong with a word later.

"I heard it because the door was open, but it's still funny. What's your conversation? And actually, last night I was in the same venue where Holly and Liquorice had their duel."

"Yes!?

Liquorice raised her voice of surprise, which will be two in a row.

In contrast, Mr. String Moon puts his time between them with a gentle smile, then opens his mouth again.

"Is it going to be a little before that game? If you're logged in and manipulated the portal, you'll see Holly's game in a row on the watch list. Holly made me wonder why it was the right time."

"Did you see it!? Embarrassing!"

"Nothing to be ashamed of. It was a fine fight, Liquorice."

"Uhm! That's right, Liquorice!

"Ha, ha! It would be an honor to say that to both of you! Happy!"

"Pfft. My Holly, I really regretted it last night."

In those words, the hair of a room that jumped a little from Mr. String Moon's back trembles.

... I've been wondering since I got in, could I touch it?

"After that, they fought many battles to find Licorice. So..."

"... Um, Mr. String Moon"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I can see the familiar kid in the back... or the tail on the side"

To my words, the movement stopped this time with fright and rigidity.

I haven't shown my face once, but it's kind of like one end of the character is easily visible.

When Mr. String laughed bitterly, he said it was time to come out and push his back.

"As you can guess, tonight I was interrupted to pull Holly from being like... my apprentice. Unaffiliated, but familiar with Artemis members. Here."

"Ho, it's Holly. Hello."

"You have a very different impression than your grand demeanor in a duel..."

"Wow, I'm a loser...!

For a moment I thought you were familiar with the likes of Mr. Serene, but that's not why he did it.

It's a complex look mixed with shyness, remorse and a smoky fever of wanting to fight again.

The look on Holly's face, which is very difficult to deal with, says that we are in trouble...

"If so..."

Liquorice stands in front of Holly.

Watching what words he would say, he continued this by offering his hand to Holly, who looked surprised.

"Then you won and lost last night's battle! From now on - I can't, but make sure to fight again soon!

"Ah...!

I guess that was what Holly wanted.

I smile and shake my hand back as I walk in from Liquorice.

"Yes, okay? Then the first battle -"

"Of course! Hopefully, as many fights as possible, not to mention one!

"What? Yes, no, I decide the female male, if I can fight one more fight..."

"Don't say that! If you're Senior Yumil, you're too strong to deal with him! Sadly!

"Well, that's also true when I deal with string hey..."

"Well, uh... you're a friend! Let's do it, now!

"What? Huh?

Holly is confused by the story of going on and on.

That's totally Liquorice's pace......

But, well, this one will be fine now.

I recommended the chair to Mr. String Moon, and I moved out to prepare tea and sweets.

In person, Yumil, Liz and Mr. Serene, and Sinelia seem to come along to help me.

"But String Moon"

"What is it? Yumil."

"Holly said," What's a string? "

"Again? Shall we stop mocking the way I'm called?

"I don't know what it is anymore or again...?

"Oh, you did... excuse me. I'd appreciate it if you could ask Liz or Heind later. After hearing that, I'd appreciate it if you'd call your name without shortening it."

"Mm... sure, when I went to Artemis' guild home on a dungeon expedition before -"

"Looks delicious maroon cake, Heind!! Can I have it ASAP!?

"Through!?

... This one seems friendly in the sense that it's this one, so let's leave it alone for a while.

Eventually, drinks and confectionery were prepared for the table and flowers blossomed in dueling event rigging.
