Episode 452:
Everything about Montra’s life was satisfactory. Except for Lane’s excessive bullying.
Hmm...
In my dream, Karen had become a great knight.
He was able to beat the heads of knights he had laughed at because he was a young knight, and even cut off the head of Jin, the emperor of Montra.
And then Lane fell flat and apologized to her.
Haha, I am the strongest.
I became the strongest knight.
Tuk...
“... Hmm?”
Karen rubbed her eyes and looked at the person who shook her.
“What are you doing, sister?”
“Karuna?”
“What are you doing here?”
“I was trying to sleep. “It’s raining too.”
Karuna said with a stiff face.
“It’s still outside.”
“huh?”
“I’m waiting for you at Lord Lane’s training ground.”
Only then did Karen realize that the rain had not stopped yet, that she had fallen asleep longer than expected, and that Lane was still waiting, so she got up in a huff and ran to the training ground.
Shootaaa...
“...are you here?”
Lane was standing there, completely drenched in rain.
“...Why are you doing this?”
“Stand. “Raise your sword.”
“Stop being scared.”
“The Karen human spirit is both weak and lazy. “If they see an opening, they dig a black hole and hide.”
“....”
“So humans created rules and habits. “It is human to break even such noble things.”
Lane is stubborn.
“Are you that kind of guy?”
Lane is unfriendly.
“I... I...”
Lane is straight.
“I only follow the emperor’s orders. I plan to raise your siblings to become great knights. I don’t care about your absurd dream of killing your emperor. First, make it into an article. All I have to do is prevent what happens next.”
Lane is that kind of person.
“I’m going to make you a knight, Karen. “Raise your sword.”
Karen finished her bath and looked at the new clothes she had changed into for a moment.
Pak-!
And then I burst into tears and ran into the training hall.
Karen holding a sword.
“From the middle of the third meal. “I need to fix it.”
“... huh.”
Whoa...
whoa...
Karen swung her sword in silence.
Then sometimes I asked a question.
“Is creating habits... and maintaining discipline so important?”
“It is important.”
“how much?”
“No more.”
Lane added.
“Everyone loses and knows defeat. “How to lose is definitely something that must be learned.”
“....”
“But first, you must learn how not to be defeated. “A guy who can’t even beat himself can’t win at anything.”
Wow!
Karen continued training without complaining. After finishing the 3rd sentence, Lane said.
“Start your fourth meal.”
“That was... a lie, right?”
“what?”
“You have to fight all the time.”
“I never lied.”
“....”
Huh...
Huh...
He told a story that Karen might be interested in.
“I once fought a being that made rain.”
“what? Really?”
“Uh huh, keep moving.”
Huh-!
Huuuuung-!
“Tell me!”
“It was a scary thing. It wasn’t normal rain, so much so that it made steel buckle.”
“Amazing... Is the world ruled by such great guys?”
“No, Montra rules.”
“... huh?”
“He lost to me. “I struck down the person who was clinging to me for his life with a single blow.”
“... how? Are you saying it’s going to rain? “They say it can even crush steel?”
Karen looked at Lane.
Lane bent one arm and made a fist. A huge mountain ridge loomed over his arm.
“A trained body!”
“... under?”
“Sometimes I wanted to hear compliments.”
“... Right. “It was immature.”
The rain stopped and Karen completed the prescribed amount of training.
Karen put down her sword and turned around, her arms shaking as if they were about to fall.
“end! Now go in...”
Tap...
Lane put his hand on her head.
“Karen you are my student. “This is a disciple of the sun.”
“What... suddenly.”
Lane grinned.
Like a clear sky.
“You’re doing great Karen.”
For a moment, Karen’s memory was distorted.
Pajjijijijik...
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu its her...”
She wore Montra’s cape and wore armor with a symbol engraved on her waist.
“... uh?”
“What are you so stupid about, Karen!”
“lane?”
“hmm?”
“Why are you so old?”
“What nonsense! If you can’t come to your senses, stay away and watch!”
Karen looked around for a moment and recalled a similar past.
‘This day...’
It was clearly the day she first encountered an immortal being.
That that that was that ...
huge evil was waking up.
I stood in front of him holding a sword.
But strangely enough, I wasn’t afraid.
– How dare... a mortal oppose me...
blood...
evil spouting typical words exactly as Raine said.
“Kneel down, evil! The sun of Montra has come here!”
– ... You are Lane.
On this day, Lane defeated evil.
His huge armor, which was also a symbol of Reign, was stuck in Karen’s mind.
And it never fell out.
* * *
Cheeeeeee...
Karen’s sword was broken.
Bishin said with a sinister smile.
“There’s no way the level of bugs is special.”
Clink...
The broken sword fell to the floor.
at that time.
Grumbling!
A huge fire broke out in Karen’s body.
“... What?”
Pot-!
As the rain god quickly retreated, the flames turned into armor and were placed over Karen’s armor.
Clap!
Clap!
[The effect of incomplete combustion increases.]
[The effect of incomplete combustion increases.]
The reason why she was covered with huge armor. It was an expression of longing.
She asked Razin before coming here.
– It’s a ridiculous question, but... how strong was the human Rain back then? Was he stronger than you, the patron saint?
Rajin answered this childish question with sincerity.
– Let me answer your question. Karen... It’s a day.
– day?
That’s what I was guessing.
However, those who stand on that path are always bound to falter. Therefore, there is an expected answer.
– If Rain had been given just one day, all of Montra’s guardian castles would have disappeared.
– Kahaha! That’s absurd...
– Do you... still want to be the sun?
– ....
– Yes, that’s why I wanted to meet you.
Kigigigigeek-!
Karen’s armor increased in volume.
“Give up. Now that you have lost your sword, your defeat has been decided. “Welcome a new owner.”
– You... are still on the road.
Grumbling!
Flames soared through the gaps in Karen’s massive armor. Breathing fire from her helmet, she let out the breath she had been holding.
“sorry.”
The memories she recalled as she broke through the supreme realm gave her new strength.
[Karen uses discipline: Hot Encouragement.]
[As the battle progresses, various encouragements pour in.]
...
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
Another spark was spit out.
“I haven’t learned how to forget and lose.”
