Chapter 156: The Princess and the Sword Princess

The white-haired man who referred to as himself God’s Eyes, Zilard… was a person about twenty years outdated. Since he didn’t put on a hood regardless that his white gown lined the entire physique, I might clearly see his face that had his left eyes lined with bangs. A person, who displayed such an environment that was clearly completely different from atypical individuals, had a delicate smile whereas approaching us slowly. He was a person who didn’t appear to begin a combat, and I additionally didn’t really feel hostility, however… I answered whereas rising vigilance.

“You got here to select us up… is it? Reasonably than asking quite a bit, why do you wish to invite us to the citadel?” (Sirius)

“My lord, Sanger-sama want to meet Sirius-sama and Reus-sama because you have been lively within the Preventing Competition. He extremely values these with glorious capabilities no matter race.” (Zilard)

“…I’ve yet one more query. How have you learnt that we’re coming to this city? From the way in which you discovered us earlier, do you suppose it’s unattainable until you realize it prematurely?” (Sirius)

“You might have gone via plenty of partitions defending Sandor till you come right here, aren’t you? The gatekeepers knew about you, so the details about you reached to me.” (Zilard)

He most likely went out of the citadel once we got here to the citadel city, and it appeared he discovered us by following the whereabouts Hokuto from the individuals’s dialog since he stood out. It wasn’t that I couldn’t settle for his purpose, nevertheless it was too quickly to make a contact with us.

I had a sense that, that he got here to this place as a result of he believed that we might be right here. Moreover, he additionally may discover about us on the identical time once we handed via the gate that entered this city. Though there was a chance that it was by coincidence or luck, he was the person who acquired the title of God’s Eyes. He may need a particular magic or capacity to sense the whereabouts of individuals, like my [Search].

With such precaution in thoughts, Zilard’s rationalization continued.

“In spite of everything, info is vital. We accumulate info as a lot as doable and anticipate the long run. Mainly, it’s a matter of taking probably the most acceptable motion in response to the state of affairs.” (Zilard)

“You’re just like the rumors heard. It appears you’re a sharp particular person.” (Sirius)

“It’s not a giant deal. I’m simply struggling for the sake of survival. I believe nothing else however that.” (Zilard)

“Your motion is surprisingly sluggish. Are you sick?” (Sirius)

“I used to be attacked by ferocious monsters after I was younger. I used to be saved, however my physique didn’t work effectively since then.” (Zilard)

His means of strolling was stiff. It appeared to be the after impact of accidents by the monsters. Reese wouldn’t ignore after seeing injured individuals, nevertheless it seemed like she restraining herself since we heard from Princess Lifell that the individuals of the citadel have been suspicious.

“Nevertheless, due to that, I used to be discovered by Sanger-sama, and after I realized it, I used to be generally known as a hero. Therefore, I by no means considered myself as being sad.” (Zilard)

“Your physique can’t transfer effectively… is it? You positive have a tough time.” (Sirius)

“It seems such as you repeatedly put efforts to beat the aftereffects. I additionally wish to observe your instance.” (Emilia)

“…Uhm, excuse me. Our dialogue has been diverted.” (Zilard)

“It’s fantastic. Anyway, you’ve come to fetch us up by the order of Sanger-sama, am I proper?” (Sirius)

“Sure. I’m sorry for being abrupt, however would you please come to the citadel? He’s welcoming you.” (Zilard)

“…What if we refuse?” (Sirius)

“If that is the case, I’ve no alternative however to surrender. If I exploit drive to deliver everybody, the harm to us will solely enhance.” (Zilard)

I had thought-about the potential for him utilizing drive if we refuse, however I couldn’t really feel the response of enemies within the environment. Extra importantly, since Zilard shook his head as if it couldn’t be helped, I didn’t suppose he was going to combat. I’d heard about appreciable troubles within the citadel, so it couldn’t be mentioned {that a} pointless aggression ought to be prevented.

Nevertheless… I used to be hesitated for a bit when replying. I most likely ought to refuse since I didn’t suppose he was requested by Princess Lifell to fetch us, however… I used to be very concern about Zilard’s existence, and I used to be beginning to surprise about his unknown skills. It was extremely possible that this particular person calling us was as a result of Sanger needed to recruit us. No matter it was, we might go to Sandor’s citadel for Princess Lifell. After that, we would be capable to work out the identities of the opponents.

I declined Zilard, and consulted with everybody after taking a distance.

“…What are we going to do?” (Sirius)

“I’m going to observe your resolution, Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)

“Me too.” (Reus)

“Nicely, we’re nonetheless going to the citadel, so we would as effectively get invited on that function.” (Fia)

“First, we should always know who’re the opponents… proper?” (Reese)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

“I wish to purchase books!” (Karen)

“It’s determined. Will you’re taking us to the citadel?” (Sirius)

“Actually!?” (Zilard)

I’d heard everybody’s opinions, and there was no objection. There was solely an individual with completely different opinion, however I simply put that apart because it wasn’t one thing we needed to do proper now. Zilard, who sensed our affirmative, appeared delighted, however he apologized as if he remembered one thing.

“Aah… let me let you know this primary. At the moment we have now many points within the citadel, and never many individuals acknowledge Sanger-sama. These persons are leaping too rapidly to a flawed conclusion. So, please be forewarned as a result of there’s a chance of them doing disagreeable interference to everybody.” (Zilard)

“I perceive that a lot since that is associated to the royal household. However, I assume you can also arise for yourselves, proper? It will be dangerous if we begin making uproar in the event that they determined to combat us, however I would like you to grasp we even have such a consideration.” (Sirius)

“I perceive. We don’t have a slightest intention to show you all as our enemies when you’ve a Hundred Wolves.” (Zilard)

From the state of Zilard, who was working chilly sweat on the watchful eyes of Hokuto, it appeared that he firmly understood the distinction in skills.

“Greater than something, I’ve heard the energy of your ties. Defending everybody is just not just for Sanger-sama, but in addition to guard the nation, so I’ll do my finest to make sure everybody’s security.”(Zilard)

“Might I ask you a query? Why do you do this sort of factor whereas understanding the hazard of inviting us?” (Sirius)

“Sanger-sama is just not a coward who doesn’t negotiate to somebody whom he hasn’t met but. I’ve thought-about that it’s harmful to allow you to to fulfill my grasp out of the blue, so, that was why I considered assembly you instantly, however… it appeared it was a unnecessary nervousness.” (Zilard)

“Will it’s alright to determine that simply?” (Sirius)

“Sure, it’s as a result of we understood effectively that everybody is completely different from impolite adventurers. Nicely then, please observe me.” (Zilard)

I supposed he knew that in the event that they laid their fingers on my household, I’d oppose anybody even when they have been royalties. To emphasise such info, it appeared that Zilard had realized about us quite a bit.

“Oh sure, there may be additionally your lord, Lifell-sama, within the citadel. I’ll name her instantly upon arrival on the citadel.” (Zilard)

“Lifell-hime? I’ll be delighted. I want to inform the main points of my journey.” (Sirius)

Formally, I used to be an imperial guard of Princess Lifell, and I used to be alleged to be on a journey to coach myself world wide. Whereas speaking easily, we went along with Zilard, and…

“Books…” (Karen)

“Sorry, will it’s alright if we make a detour earlier than we go to the citadel?” (Sirius)

“…Understood. The store that sells books is on this means.” (Zilard)

After stopping by the e book retailer within the city, we headed for Sandor’s citadel.

—

We got here to the citadel with no feeling of coming into a tiger’s den, however with Zilard with us, it was straightforward to get into the citadel. When the troopers, who guarding the gate of the citadel, noticed the looks of Zilard, they saluted him. Irrespective of how a lot we checked out it, they quietly opened the gate regardless that there have been suspicious presence like us and Hokuto. That was most likely the proof that Zilard was trusted.

“It’s a giant citadel! However, I ponder whether it is too small for As-jii to remain right here.” (Karen)

“That comparability between individuals and dragon is a bit an excessive amount of, you realize. Have you ever ever questioning whether or not you’ll dwell in such a citadel?” (Fia)

“Sure… my home is simply an atypical home in any case.” (Karen)

“Hehe, I see. Even whether it is small, it’s sufficient since you’ll be able to have good occasions along with everybody, proper?” (Emilia)

“It will be good if they’ve a library with numerous books, and a storehouse with loads of honey!” (Karen)

“I believe that isn’t an atypical home anymore.” (Reese)

As standard, Karen was doing issues at her personal tempo. Not solely me, however Zilard additionally had a bitter smile when listening to such a humorous conversations between Karen and the women.

“…That baby is so harmless. Aah, earlier than we proceed, please depart the carriage into that hut.” (Zilard)

“Alright. Please wait a bit, we’re going to complete doing it quickly.” (Sirius)

I went the designated hut along with Emilia and Hokuto, and we rapidly setup the anti-theft measures. Within the environment, there have been carriages managed by the citadel. Since there have been workers seen in that place, I nonchalantly noticed them, however…

“There isn’t any notably unusual determine… is it?” (Sirius)

“Sirius-sama. I’m achieved right here.” (Emilia)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

“Obtained it. Let’s return.” (Sirius)

I didn’t discover the sensation of stress from the staff as if an unlikely occasion going to occur within the citadel. I concluded that by taking a look at their state after they did their work, regardless that they have been stunned by Hokuto. I hadn’t understood the again scene but, nevertheless it was peaceable on the floor.

However, after I returned to the place everybody was whereas watching the environment, Zilard nodded to consent one thing.

“It seems like an atypical carriage, nevertheless it appeared that it has been transformed variously.” (Zilard)

“It’s only for theft prevention. It’s like our home. If it will get stolen, we shall be in bother as a result of we have now issues loaded inside.” (Sirius)

“That’s widespread conduct as an adventurer. Nevertheless, there isn’t any such shabby particular person to steal on this citadel. So, I believe that may be a unnecessary fear.” (Zilard)

Zilard didn’t present that he was offended by these phrases which have been fairly rude. I didn’t know whether or not that was true or not, however I requested critical inquiries to Zilard, who was strolling within the entrance whereas guiding us to the citadel.

“Will this be alright for Hokuto? I personally want to deliver him to the citadel collectively.” (Sirius)

“That might be tough. The horses in that secure… can be frightened if he goes there, so how about if he stays freely within the backyard?” (Zilard)

“Will that be alright? If any person doesn’t find out about him, I really feel like they’ll make large noise.” (Sirius)

“I don’t suppose there may be something that may tie down such a wolf. It ought to be fantastic if I inform to the environment.” (Zilard)

“No, I believe it’s best to keep away from that pointless impetus. Hokuto, I’m sorry. Are you able to keep hidden close to the carriage? If there may be something, transfer at your personal discretion.” (Sirius)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

I had anticipated that, however I guessed it was nonetheless unattainable for Hokuto, huh?

Whereas being despatched off by Hokuto who barked as if telling that he didn’t thoughts, we entered the citadel, and…

“I’ve this unusual premonition till now… so what the heck are you doing, Zilard!?” (?)

We heard noisy footsteps as we entered the corridor from the entrance entrance. Then, a person wearing armor appeared in entrance of us in anger.

Having a beard that was attentively trimmed, and from numerous wrinkles on the face, he was a person who barely past fifty years outdated. His tempered physique was one dimension bigger than Reus. By taking a look at how he walked in a straight line whereas sporting a heavy-looking armor, he was a significantly sturdy particular person. From the impressiveness and stare which was as sharp as a hawk, he was a person who absolutely embodied the phrase of warrior.

The person rushed over and questioned Zilard, whereas revealing his anger, however the particular person himself stored smiling with out being perturbed.

“That is Normal Fort. By the way in which, why are you in a rush?” (Zilard) (TLN: The title in uncooked is フォルト)

“Don’t act like a idiot! Who’re these individuals!?” (Fort)

“Do you imply these individuals? They’re company who Sanger-sama invited.” (Zilard)

“I haven’t heard something of that! This can be associated to Sanger-sama’s life, however you’ll be able to’t overlook to get in contact with us particularly at this vital time when the Legendia is held!” (Fort)

“I used to be a bit in a rush, so please forgive me.” (Zilard)

If I needed to guess from the argument, this man referred to as Normal Fort appeared to be liable for guarding the citadel. Apparently, he hadn’t heard of something about us getting invited. If I needed to be sincere, I additionally thought that Fort’s argument was correct. It was unusual to ask outsiders to a citadel the place the leaders of each nation gathered.

They stored on speaking because it was for some time, however I assumed it was futile to say something. Then, Fort turned a pointy look towards us.

“Eeiii… there’s no level in asking you. So, who’re you individuals?” (Fort)

His scary gazes have been as if he wouldn’t forgive if we lied, and that made Karen hid behind my again. After stroking Karen’s head to sooth her, I accepted his gazes instantly, and after I did that, Fort was a bit stunned.

“…Hmm, it appears you might be somebody appreciable. After I give it some thought, that man purposely welcome you all this fashion. Your look and braveness appears to be fantastic. You aren’t an atypical particular person, no?” (Fort)

“I’ve instructed you. Do you perceive that as effectively? These two are the champion and the runner up of the final Preventing Competition.” (Zilard)

“Actually!? Is that so? Then, I can perceive.” (Fort)

The person was nodding when listening to the matter of the Preventing Competition, and it appeared he was in a position to perceive that we have been sturdy ones by taking a look at our appearances. Nevertheless, as as to whether he confirmed our identification or not, Fort was pointing towards the skin of the citadel with intense look.

“Nevertheless, I can’t will let you enter the citadel with out permission from the king. I’m sorry, I’ve to substantiate first, so chances are you’ll depart–…” (Fort)

“Wait a second, Fort. These persons are fantastic.” (?)

“Hmm!?” (Fort)

“Aah…” (Zilard)

After I thought that I out of the blue heard a voice interrupting the dialog, Fort instantly lowered down his head whereas kneeling on one knee to the proprietor of the voice. Reese additionally reacted immediately and rotated. After I turned to the rear, I might see Princess Lifell and Soften.

However… it wasn’t Princess Lifell who spoke to Fort. It was the blonde lady who stood subsequent to her.

“He’s an imperial guard of Lifell. Since we have now invited her different imperial guards, there ought to be no downside if we let this particular person within the citadel, am I proper?” (Girl)

“B-but… apart from him isn’t any good, isn’t it? To ask different individuals than the associated particular person at this vital time is just not a superb factor.” (Fort)

“I guarantee you that these persons are fantastic. I’ll take the accountability, so can I ask you to try this to different imperial guards?” (Lifell)

“…Understood. I’ll inform this to the king later.” (Fort)

Whereas feeling irritated, Fort nodded on the phrases of Princess Lifell and the blonde lady who was filled with magnificence and dignity. From the state of Fort who had served the citadel for a few years, there was no mistake that this lady was one of many Sandor’s subsequent successors, Princess Julia. I might absolutely say that Princess Julia was a magnificence who fascinated others with out fail. In spite of everything, I heard that from the younger info vendor.

Along with the tone, her apparel was one thing that male royalty normally wore, however the attraction as a woman didn’t fade in any respect. Her look was pretty much as good as Fia. Her blonde hair was tied on the left and proper of the pinnacle and it seemed as if scattering gentle. She was stunning sufficient to the purpose my wives groaned unintentionally.

By all rights, I most likely groaned as effectively, however I held again so I didn’t need to be determined when giving excuses to Princess Lifell. (Recheck)

[Why are you guys here already!? I was supposed to pick you up!] (Lifell)

[The contact of the other side was quick. Whatever it is, I don’t think it matters because we are going to the castle, right?] (Sirius)

As I continued interacting with my eyes alone with out talking with my mouth, I seen that the three from Sandor and the middle of the noise was Julia. Apparently, Julia appeared to have instructed one thing disagreeable, and the 2 of them seemed furiously protested.

“Please suppose it over! It’s dangerous behavior to problem indiscriminately!” (Fort)

“I additionally agree with Normal Fort. Moreover, first off, they’re having viewers with Sanger-sama who invited these individuals.” (Zilard)

“Only a bit solely. Plus, aren’t you additionally within the champion of the Preventing Competition, Fort? By the way in which, Nii-san is busy with pressing issues, so I believe it ought to be fantastic if it’s solely a bit.” (Julia)

Julia got here to our path with a fearless smile. Within the meantime, I used to be tilting my head as a result of I didn’t know what was occurring.

“I heard about you all from Lifell. Should you don’t thoughts, will you fulfill my expectation?” (Julia)

—

After Zilard instructed us that he would affirm the matter together with his lord, Sanger, he parted from us. Then, we got here to the coaching floor utilized by the individuals of the citadel.

There was a giant circle drawn on the bottom within the coaching floor, and Julia was smiling and standing there with a picket coaching sword. By the way in which… Fort mentioned that he would get permission from the king, however he is likely to be nervous concerning the princess, so he stayed because it was.

“If it’s like this, nobody will intervene. Alright, we could combat to the guts’s content material?!” (Julia)

“Please wait, Hime-sama! Reasonably than preventing to the fullest, ought to we determine a easy rule for now?” (Fort)

“I see. Let’s do it till we will’t arise–…” (Julia)

“Ahem… let’s do it by both giving blow to the opponent’s shoulder or stomach, or one will thought-about defeated if blown away from the circle drawn on the bottom, alright.” (Fort)

He was a strict man, however this hardworking man nonetheless could possibly be swayed by Julia. It was a sight that jogged my memory of a subsequent Queen and her imperial guard since childhood.

Leaving that apart, what was vital now was Julia’s sword. That sword which had been swung by Julia as warming up was appropriate to make her to be referred to as as Sword Princess.

With all due respect, I believed that she was solely skilled within the place of being a princess, however that good motion displayed didn’t give such an air in any respect. It was mentioned that she was lively within the Flood of monsters that occurred a number of years in the past, however I might affirm that was true, moderately than an exaggeration.

I guessed she was very skilled. The subtle sword motion which nearly had no openings. To be sincere, I didn’t wish to be hit by that from the entrance.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t me who was standing earlier than Julia…

“Hee… that may be a fairly strong picket sword. If it’s like that, it appears to be fantastic if I roughly swing severely.” (Reus)

“It’s a particular made for me. With this, it might most likely face up to the ‘Single Strike Final Destruction Sword Fashion’ of that Strongest Sword.” (Julia)

Realizing that Julia was referred to as as Sword Princess, it was Reus who was for this mock battle. By the way, the explanation of Reus difficult her was one thing like this, ‘If you wish to problem Aniki, it’s important to defeat me first’… effectively, that was the same old stream anyway.

When Julia noticed Reus’ greatsword, she judged that it was the ‘Single Strike Final Destruction Sword Fashion’ of that Strongest Sword. Anyhow, she accepted it as a result of she needed to go in opposition to him.

We have been watching these two individuals in a barely away place. At the moment, Zilard was away to clarify the state of affairs to his grasp. As Fort was getting nervous about Julia, he paid much less consideration towards us. In the meantime, I shared info I had with Princess Lifell.

“Sure… he’s that man. He moved sooner than me when he knew about you guys. As anticipated, he’s somebody that I can’t ignore.” (Lifell)

After this, we’ll are available in contact together with his grasp, Sanger-sama. Since we aren’t hostile to one another in the intervening time, I plan to see him so long as it’s nonetheless protected.” (Sirius)

“Sure. I even have Senia to research completely. Please attempt to keep away from any dispute as a lot as you’ll be able to, alright.” (Lifell)

As we have been speaking concerning the future, the mock battle between Reus and Julia was beginning. Whereas watching the scene of picket swords clashing with super momentum, I requested questions that I used to be involved from the earlier time.

“By the way in which… is it alright if we depart these two alone? The opposite facet is the princess of this nation. So, wouldn’t it dangerous if she get damage?” (Sirius)

“She needs to combat him anyway. It is going to be fantastic so long as they don’t seem to be overdoing it. Moreover, within the case of Julia, I really feel that it’s impolite if Reus goes straightforward on her.” (Lifell)

“Nee–…. Lifell-sama. How’s your relationship with that particular person?” (Reese)

“I ponder if she is sort of a shut buddy since I arrived in Sandor. We now have spoken many occasions since our positions and ages are shut.” (Lifell)

They’d numerous issues in widespread. It wasn’t a superficial socializing between nations, however they actually appeared to turn out to be an in depth buddy. Calling on first title foundation was most likely the proof. In keeping with Princess Lifell who defined in a superb temper, Princess Julia additionally had sides that have been too strict, however she appeared to be a really sincere woman.

“Maybe I ought to say that I usually consider her extra as a swordsman or a knight, moderately than a princess. However as you’ll be able to see, she is a woman with overflowing royal magnificence. It’s simply that… there’s a facet that’s overly involved about her being a lady…” (Lifell)

“Being a lady… is it?” (Sirius)

“No, simply overlook about that for now. Anyway, if there are sturdy opponents, Julia is not going to keep quiet and she’s going to problem them. Even once we got here to the Sandor citadel for the primary time, she challenged Soften like what’s she doing proper now with Reus.” (Lifell)

It appeared that she challenged Soften as a result of she seen the ambiance of a robust man from him. By the way in which, the results of the battle was…

“…It was a whole defeat. Even when she didn’t have the energy past intelligence like that Strongest Sword-dono, I couldn’t do a factor to her good sword strategies.” (Soften)

“However, Soften had endured for some time. Julia additionally mentioned that she needed to make him to be her imperial guard.” (Lifell)

“I… don’t intend to be an imperial guard apart from for Lifell-sama.” (Soften)

“Hehe, thank goodness.” (Lifell)

I wasn’t positive as a result of I didn’t see the truly combat, nevertheless it appeared that Soften, who had been educated by Lior-Jiisan, couldn’t go in opposition to her. Even when he was a bit irritated, he muttered whereas taking a look at Reus who was preventing.

“That particular person is actually sturdy. The one who fought her after me was a younger man, Keith, from a rustic referred to as Arbitray. He was additionally sturdy however, he was lose to Princess Julia simply.” (Soften)

“I see. Not solely the Beast King, he additionally got here right here. He was challenged for a mock battle related like Soften-san, is it?” (Sirius)

“It seems like you realize one another. Oh sure, I remembered that boy was talked about in Reese’s letter. And, Julia additionally fought with Reus’ buddy, Albert-kun.” (Lifell)

“Albert too? Is he right here in Sandor?” (Sirius)

“Sure. I don’t know the main points, however he mentioned that he was invited to return to the Legendia this time.” (Lifell)

Albert… he was a younger man who lived within the city of Parade. It was a city the place we stopped by throughout our journey, and he was additionally turned one in all my disciples. If his finest buddy knew that he was right here, Reus can be happy. I used to be additionally glad as a result of I might see him once more after a very long time, however… my doubt was getting stronger.

I understood that Keith was the prince of the beast nation, Arbitray, however I didn’t perceive the explanation why Albert was invited to Sandor. To be sincere, with the dimensions of Albert’s hometown, it was onerous to think about him to be invited to the Legendia. It had been a yr since we left. Had the 2 cities, Parade and Romanio that existed throughout Lake Deine, been merged into a rustic? No… even when that was true, I didn’t suppose that it might develop into a rustic that will be acknowledged by a giant nation in only a yr.

“I’m by some means understood what you suppose. Apparently, he was invited not due to the nation, there appears to be different causes–… oh my?” (Lifell)

“Sirius-sama! Reus is…” (Emilia)

Princess Lifell appeared to know one thing, however since there was a improvement on Reus’ facet, we turned our consideration to the battle between him and Julia.

At first, they exchanged sword blows to gauge one another’s capacity, however as Julia had confirmed Reus’ capacity, her sword pace elevated, and Reus lastly started to be pushed.

“Look, look! I can see extra swords in comparison with Reus-Oniichan’s!” (Karen)

“Julia-sama’s actions… are by some means superb, isn’t it? She additionally has an attractive blonde hair, however… her magnificence can’t be described with phrases.” (Reese)

“There are hardly ever swordsmen who swing swords as a lot as her. I ponder if she might deal with Reus’ lethal blow.” (Emilia)

Though Reus was accustomed to a fast opponent by mock battles with me, Julia’s sword was certainly superb. I believed that her sword was roughly swung like a storm, and with a flowing motion that precisely aimed for important factors, it seemed like Reus was completely on the mercy because of the irregular actions blended in her sluggish and quick actions.

“What’s flawed!? Is that this the sword strategies of the Strongest Sword? Isn’t it completely different!?” (Julia)

“Kuh…” (Reus)

Dealing with in opposition to such an opponent, removed from attacking her, Reus was doing his finest to endure her assault. He managed to keep away from direct hit by stopping with not solely with the picket sword, but in addition with the armguards, however he started to be pushed progressively. Then, Reus retreated one step.

“Reus is doing a defensive battle, proper? Is that what you anticipated?” (Lifell)

“Aah, he’s ready for a chance. He appears to make good use of what I taught…” (Sirius)

Though Reus was aiming for sudden reversal, it was tough to determine the opponent’s sword. Then, Julia, who had pushed Reus to the sting of the circle since he wasn’t in a position to counterattack, swung a blow to conclude the battle. It was considerably an aggressive assault, however her purpose was most likely as a result of she needed to defeat him along with her personal fingers, moderately than win as a result of he was pushed out of the circle.

In fact, she wasn’t careless. The sword blow Julia unleashed that actually defeat the opponent was…

“You’re the first one who can cease my sword from the entrance! However with this…” (Julia)

“Fuh!” (Reus)

Her sword collided with Reus’ picket sword that was swung up from the underside, after which, Julia’s picket sword was hovering over the sky concurrently the echoed excessive pitched sound.

“…Wha!?” (Julia)

“Hime-sama’s sword is prevented!?” (Fort)

Along with the pace of the super sword, it wasn’t straightforward to stop the blow that had been blended with Feint. However, Reus was in a position to cease her assault by the experiences gained from mock battles with me.

Whereas enduring the assaults, he learn the opponent’s respiratory, actions and tendencies. Then, he predicted the deciding blow and he flicked the sword by aiming in the intervening time when Julia was barely distracted from his hand. After that, Reus swung down his picket sword with no slightest delay at Julia who was disturbed as a result of her sword was repelled.

“With this… it has been determined, proper?” (Reus)

Nevertheless, the picket sword that was swung down stopped simply earlier than hitting Julia’s shoulder. With the foundations determined earlier than the match who would win if a blow reached the goal, however as anticipated, Reus stopped from doing so.

“…What do you imply? Why did you cease the sword?” (Julia)

“What are you saying… it’s already determined, so I don’t actually need to hit you, proper?” (Reus)

From everybody’s eyes, that blow was undoubtedly concluded the battle, so there was no purpose to hit simply as what Reus mentioned. It will be completely different within the case of detestable enemies or somebody who ought to be killed, however in Reus case, lady was somebody he ought to shield, and he didn’t actually wish to damage them. This was because of the instructing by the women, and he additionally had been introduced up that means as a result of he noticed my conducts.

Briefly, it was the kindness of Reus, however from the character of Julia heard from Princess Lifell…

“Are you kidding me!? If that is determined by the foundations, a swordsman ought to combat with all the pieces! I ask you to redo it! Now, you higher hit me!” (Julia)

“It’s fantastic as a result of it is a mock battle, proper? Moreover, for no matter it’s, I don’t wish to hit a lady!” (Reus)

“Being a lady has bought nothing to do with it! It seems like my earnest wasn’t communicated. On this means, beat me at any expense!” (Julia)

As anticipated, she didn’t prefer it. Reus ran away from that menacing look, however Julia didn’t care in any respect and chased after him. To place it merely… I supposed she couldn’t be glad until she was defeated within the battle correctly. Princess Lifell sighed whereas holding her head on the sight the place Julia picked up the picket sword that fell close by, and she or he chased Reus once more.

“Aah–… as anticipated, she is indignant. Each of you, it’s most likely higher in case you are being sincere to one another even when it’s a dangerous or a superb factor.” (Lifell)

“Wi-will that be alright? I imply the opposite facet is a princess. Reus shall be seemed badly if he does that, proper?” (Reese)

“It’s alright. Julia is not going to maintain down her opponents along with her authority, so simply get her.” (Lifell)

It appeared that Julia wouldn’t train her authority as a princess. She defeated her opponents solely along with her may. Reese was anxious, however she was relieved by the smile of Princess Lifell who wasn’t nervous in any respect. In the meantime, Emilia stored observing calmly regardless that her brother was attempting to flee onerous.

“Earlier, Julia-sama talked about that being a lady is irrelevant. Do you perceive what she meant, Lifell-sama?” (Emilia)

“Sure. She normally doesn’t thoughts this, however she doesn’t wish to be handled as a lady in regard to preventing. Julia is a princess, however she is proud to be a swordsman.” (Lifell)

Albert and Keith, who fought her earlier than this, have been preventing whereas contemplating their opponent as a lady, however then, they have been compelled to grasp that such a thought was too naive earlier than Julia’s sword strategies.

“After they grasped the sword, they went straightforward as a result of she was a lady, however they made a giant mistake for displeasing Julia. In return, she desperately tried to get stronger to show herself from such individuals.” (Lifell)

In addition they most likely went straightforward on her as a result of she was a princess, however due to displaying such ardour, they have been appeared to be reminded by their very own errors. She may need expertise to start with, however I guessed she educated herself as a result of she was very aggressive. It was a horrible obsession in a way.

“Wait… I’m out! I’ve misplaced since I’ve left the circle!” (Reus)

“That’s proper, Hime-sama! Please withdraw the sword!” (Fort)

“I refuse! I can’t cease till you hit me!” (Julia)

“I instructed you, I don’t wish to try this!” (Reus)

Julia want to acknowledge shedding by having Reus hit her, however she didn’t cease even when Reus had gone out of the varsity. As well as, she appeared didn’t hear the voice of Fort. On high of shedding, she was a lady who needed to be defeated correctly, even in a mock battle, was it?

It seemed like Reus had taken that one from Julia. Reus’ agony would occur after this… No, it is likely to be the start of the troubles with girls.

“It’s a unusual state of affairs the place she chases the opponent to be able to be defeated.” (Emilia)

“Ought to I inform them to be sincere?” (Lifell)

“Is Reus-Oniichan taking part in tag with that Onee-chan? Can I be part of them too?” (Karen)

“Please cease that. It is going to be onerous so that you can chase them, Karen.” (Sirius)

As a result of dazzling magnificence and magnificence, individuals couldn’t see Julia now as a lady who was having enjoyable, regardless that she was considerably onerous to be approached. Maybe, that was why Karen needed to affix them. After that, the scene, the place Julia stored shouting, Reus who stubbornly refused, and Fort, who desperately working to cease the princess, lasted for some time.

“Now, hit me and declare your victory!” (Julia)

“That is unusual since some time in the past, you realize! Aniki! Don’t simply look, assist me, please!” (Reus)

“To ask your brother that can assist you… I don’t suppose you’ll be able to win over me with him!” (Julia)

“Identical to you! You aren’t behaving like somebody who has been defeated!” (Reus)

“…What is that this?” (Sirius)

It was a surprisingly charming scene. I understood that this was a critical state of affairs, however maybe I ought to say that… have been they flirting one another?

Even when Reus was pushed to the wall, he by some means managed to endure Julia’s sword with naked fingers. However, as Reus was severely on the lookout for assist, I attempted to cease them and…

“That’s sufficient, Julia!” (?)

“!?” (Julia)

An indignant voice that was completely different from Fort resounded within the coaching floor, and Julia’s motion lastly stopped. Julia most likely had calmed down with this. She slowly left Reus and deeply lowered her head.

“…I’m sorry. I’ve misplaced management of myself and induced you inconvenience.” (Julia)

“Nicely… it’s alright. I’ve additionally realized quite a bit from you.” (Reus)

“I-I see. That helps when you say so. By the way in which… I’ll cease right here, however will you’ve a match with me once more? I’ll win subsequent time, Reus-dono.” (Julia)

“I’m undecided about that with out asking Aniki, but when there’s a time, please additionally deal with me. Julia… uhmm, Julia-sama, I may also turn out to be stronger if I combat you.” (Reus)

“Hahaha, you don’t need to be humble. I can’t assist with the title calling, however apart from that, please deal with me as per regular.” (Julia)

She had intense eyes, however Reus may admit that splendid sword strategies. As Reus and Julia shook fingers to acknowledge one another, the proprietor of the voice, that stopped Julia, was approaching them.

The looks was a person who had handed twenty years outdated. His apparel was one thing {that a} royalty would put on and he had related blond hair as Julia, and… from the purpose of bringing Zilard, who separated from us earlier, he appeared to be the rumored first prince… Sanger.

However… the expression on his face towards Julia appeared to be very sullen. It wasn’t that I didn’t perceive particularly when the sister was seeing the company he invited, sooner than him.

“Are you shaking fingers!? Hey Julia, these persons are the company I invited. Don’t you dare to disregard me and do issues by yourself?!” (Sanger)

“You seemed busy, Ani-ue. Since Fort suspected them, I needed to give them a check.” (Julia)

“Silent. Oh effectively. So, what do you consider them?” (Sanger)

“…I believe they’re reliable individuals. If the sword blows I acquired from Reus-dono weren’t one thing from the trail of righteousness, I don’t know what else to say then.” (Julia)

“I see. I don’t thoughts, however when you say so, these noisy bunches will shut up as effectively.” (Sanger)

It appears Julia was well-known within the eyes of public and that very same for the individuals of the citadel. In the event that they knew she accredited us, there can be much less individuals to be cautious of us. Because of this, his involved disappeared since troublesome issues have been diminished even just a little. Then, Sanger left her sister and got here earlier than us.

“Though Julia made a contact sooner than me, let me introduce myself. I’m Sanger. You’re Sirius, who was the champion of the Preventing Competition, proper?” (Sanger)

“Sure, my title is Sirius. And these are my wives–…” (Sirius)

The introduction of everybody was easily ended, however as anticipated of Sanger as a person, his eyes mounted on my wives. I had an intention to withstand with full effort if he mentioned one thing like inviting, however I couldn’t really feel the need from his eyes. I heard that he was smug from the younger info vendor, nevertheless it didn’t appear that dangerous. Sanger was glad after seeking to some extent, however then, his gaze pointed at Zilard who stood subsequent to me.

“At the same time as adventurer, he gathers such stunning girls. Why don’t you observe him for some time?” (Sanger)

“I don’t suppose individuals like me could make girls blissful.” (Zilard)

“Good grief, heroes are completely different from particular person to a different. Attempt to observe the steps of Heavenly Sword for a bit.” (Sanger)

“His state of affairs is means an excessive amount of, I don’t wish to be taught from him. Extra importantly, these persons are…” (Zilard)

“Aah, sure. They actually got here. The citadel is in a bit dysfunction, however welcome.” (Sanger)

“Thanks very a lot. By the way in which… you invited us since you needed to ask one thing proper, so what’s it do you wish to know?” (Sirius)

“What? Nicely, I needed to ask you concerning the Preventing Competition. Taking that chance, I want to ask you to serve below me.” (Sanger)

If Zilard knew, Sanger ought to grasp who my employer was, however he naturally recruited me. I wasn’t positive whether or not that motion was spontaneous or a scheme, however that aggressive act is likely to be the key why the heroes like Zilard and others served him. Nicely, he is likely to be a prince of a rustic, however since I hadn’t even a slightest intention to serve somebody who I didn’t know effectively, I’d refuse him.

“I’m very sorry, I’m working with Lifell-hime.” (Sirius)

“That’s proper. To ask him in entrance of my eyes… you might be daring sufficient to do such a factor, isn’t it?” (Lifell)

“Hahaha, I’m sorry. It’s my nature to ask those that have nice skills…” (Sanger)

She most likely couldn’t maintain it silent, so whereas placing up a smile, she displayed a threatening temper, however Sanger nonchalantly evaded her. As everybody started to take a distance from the 2 who appeared to scattering sparks by eye gazes whereas laughing, it appeared there have been no different individuals to cease them apart from me who was in between of them.

“Aah… I’m sorry to interrupt, however shall we modify the placement?” (Sirius)

“He’s proper, Sanger-sama! Moreover, the meal preparation shall be in place quickly, so…” (Zilard)

“…Alright. We are able to’t settle down if we keep right here.” (Lifell)

“Aah, sure. It’s nearly time for lunch, so how about we modify place and speak slowly. The individuals of the citadel have ready the meals to fulfill everybody, so chances are you’ll count on it–…” (Sanger)

After the state of affairs had been solved, by the point Sanger began to information us, there was a person got here working towards Sanger. Apparently, he was flustered.

“Sa-sanger-sama! Did you come right here?” (Man)

“You’re noisy. What occurred?” (Sanger)

“That… Ashley-sama is…” (Man)

“Once more!? Rattling, that man all the time causes bother as all the time!” (Sanger)

I believed that I’d seen that man someplace. It appeared that he was working nearer the place I parked the carriage a short time in the past. Whereas the nervous man continued his rationalization, Reus and Julia, who had taken care of their physique, got here again and joined the dialog.

“Aniue, what did Ashley do that time?” (Julia)

“He’s doing his personal issues once more, and he’s annoying the individuals round. I’ve to go to cease him, however will probably be good when you all come together with me.” (Sanger)

“Us too? Uhm… we haven’t met Ashley-sama but.” (Sirius)

“He’s our youthful brother, however do you guys know he’s making noises in entrance of your carriage now?” (Sanger)

“Our carriage… is it?” (Sirius)

“May it’s…” (Julia)

The inside design of our carriage seemed similar to an atypical carriage, so I didn’t suppose that he would have an interest. In different phrases, if he made a noise, it was associated to Hokuto whom I requested to attend close by the carriage.

Whereas having an disagreeable thought, we went to the carriage and…

“Kuhh! He didn’t even have a look even after I gave him the best grade of meat! As anticipated of a Hundred Wolves, you aren’t that straightforward, huh? However I can’t hand over!” (?)

“Woof…” (Hokuto)

There was Hokuto, who seemed in bother, getting concerned with a blond man who held a lump of meat. Even when I mentioned he was getting concerned, the younger man solely checked out him at a sure distance, however… his eyes have been glittering. Hokuto was most likely depressed as a result of that man was round.

“That carriage… Regardless of of being a royalty, he’s nearly like a toddler making a noise…” (Sanger)

“Ooh… what an exquisite monster! I wish to journey its again and run via battlefields by all imply!” (?)

“…Is he right here?” (Julia)

From the reactions of the 2, the blond younger man appeared to be the second prince of Sandor, Ashley. I used to be stunned by his bravery when he bought near Hokuto, however there was one thing else to fret about.

“I do know that man is just not an atypical particular person, however… no means.” (Sirius)

“Hey, Aniki. That man is…” (Reus)

“Don’t say any extra. After I suppose why he was so detailed, so because of this, huh?” (Sirius)

The apparel and coiffure have been completely completely different, however there was no mistake with that distinctive presence. Ashley, who was excited like a toddler round Hokuto, was the younger info vendor we met final night time.

Further/Bonus – Doing it for the sake of XX

“That is the most important retailer promoting books in Sandor.” (Zilard)

“Waah… there are various books!” (Karen)

Earlier than going to the citadel led by Zilard, we got here to a bookstore within the city on the request of Karen. It was her first time to see books that many. So, I mentioned few phrases to Karen, who appeared attempting to assault the bookstore with shining eyes.

“We don’t have a lot time, so chances are you’ll select one e book. Should you nonetheless need extra, we will come again later and purchase it.” (Sirius)

“Alright!” (Karen)

“Sirius-sama, will it’s alright if we purchase books too?” (Emilia)

“I don’t thoughts in case you are . Nicely, we will’t afford to purchase numerous books, so simply have one every.” (Sirius)

“Understood.” (Emilia)

“Yeah… the books lineups are completely different with regards to a giant city.” (Reese)

“It would take time even by wanting solely. Anyway, shall we glance round rapidly?” (Fia)

“Ebook, is it? I haven’t learn one just lately.” (Reus)

“…” (Sirius)

After confirming that Karen had already concentrating on testing the books, I used to be additionally wanting a e book which might be good for me.

“That is… a e book with a historical past of cooking written. Do you see something good, Emilia?” (Sirius)

“Th-this is? I’ve to purchase this for the sake of us and Sirius-sama…” (Emilia)

“Why are you so critical–… thi-this is!?” (Reese)

“If we have now the strategies written on this e book, we gained’t fall behind Sirius-sama–…” (Emilia)

“Please present me the e book later.” (Fia)

“Sure. Let’s share it with all three of us.” (Emilia)

The women have been considerably noisy, however I assumed they discovered a superb e book. Since I’d discovered a e book that seemed attention-grabbing, I went to see Karen who appeared taking probably the most time, however I didn’t count on that she had completed scrutinizing.

“I would like these!” (Karen)

“Hee… the titles are attention-grabbing, isn’t it? However, Karen. Didn’t I say you’ll be able to solely have one e book? Irrespective of how I see it, I don’t see one e book solely.” (Sirius)

“Fia-Oneechan and Reus-Oniichan mentioned that they didn’t wish to purchase books, so I’m shopping for on their behalf.” (Karen)

“I see. It could be a bit trivial, however do you’ve proof that they have been saying that? However you realize, Karen. There may be one deadly disadvantage. Should you mentioned so, why do you’ve 4 books?” (Sirius)

“The opposite one is for Hokuto!” (Karen)

After I seemed exterior to the place Hokuto was ready, he shook his head as if telling me she was flawed.

“…Actually? That’s for Hokuto, huh? However have you ever ever see Hokuto studying a e book?” (Sirius)

“I’ll learn it for him, so it’s alright! Hokuto additionally will fortunately take heed to me–…” (Karen)

“…Please put it again.” (Sirius)

“Ehh!?” (Karen)

“Uhmm… are you continue to right here?” (Emilia)

It took time to look at the 4 books and we lastly purchased two books. Ultimately, we made Zilard waited for practically an hour.
