“That’s it!”

“I-I’m sorry, Lime-san! Are you okay!?”

“A-Auuuhh ……”

…… The match was over in an instant.

Even though Makina usually takes it easy on her opponents, there are still many high levels like Fath-san, me, and the Deadly Bear, Radia.

I don’t know what kind of training Lime had, but I thought that the swing of Lime’s stance sword itself was not bad. However, her linear movements, which seemed to indicate that she had no real combat experience, were easy to read, and the difference between her and Makina was obvious.

After Makina evaded the vertically swung sword with a backstep, Lime stepped in and tried to swing the sword sideways, but the slow return caused Makina’s fist to hit the breastplate and was blown away.

“Grruuu.”

“Kuoon.”

Luckily, Radia was able to cushion her before she slammed into the wall, so her eyes is moving around but I don’t think she’s hurt.

“She’s not trained enough to be a prince’s bodyguard. She’s got a good head on her shoulders and her streak is not bad. But I feel like she’s being swung around by a sword, so using a slimmer sword is preferable.”

“It’s all about the chemistry of the sword. I guess It’s like Naru using a shortsword in both hands?”

""

While Makina was getting Lime up, Ryuuze was talking to Tigre-sensei about this.

It’s true that if it had been a little lighter, she might have been able to cut her back, as I was thinking about that, I used healing on Lime. 

“Is there anything that hurts”

“Lars-sama …… U-Uhhhh …… I-I lost …… She’s too strong! Uwaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!”

“Whoa, she’s crying!?”

“L-Let’s go over here, okay?”

“I’ll help you, Makina-chan.”

As soon as Makina and Verna-sensei took her to a log chair, Fath-san opened her mouth.

“Well, I guess it was a bad match. Even though you saw me fighting Tigre-dono just now, and even though I told you that Makina was my student, you went right into it.”

“That’s right, Lime. We’ve only learned how to use sword from our neighbor Tom, and we haven’t had much practice with them.”

“Fughhh ……”

When she saw Lime blowing her nose, Makina said she had a good idea.

“That’s right, If you want to use a sword, why don’t you ask Tigre-sensei to teach you? I think Ryuuze would be fine, but a greatsword would be different, and Tigre-sensei might be able to train you.”

“Well, I’m not the best person to teach you. But Tigre-sensei is busy too, right?”

“I guess so. I just came to see Verna and Tilia today, but basically, I’ll be over there. Prince Ryde will be going to the castle, and if you’re his bodyguard, you don’t want to leave him, do you?”

“I guezz zo ……”

Well, if you think about it with common sense, you can’t just leave the prince in a place that is not his own country. However, I think it would be better to have Lime trained for the future.

“If Prince Ryde is going to the castle, so his safety will be secured, and I think you should be taught. If you can fight us or the knights off, I don’t think we’ll have a problem, but you never know what the so called Ten Chief Priests will do. And that’s why you might have to fight them directly.”

“B-But ……”

Lime was startled by the sudden suggestion and her tears retracted. Then Urka nodded and agreed with me.

“Yes. I think I agree with Lars? If we’re going to reclaim the Everlide Kingdom, the battle doesn’t end here. There’s no harm in building up your strength. In addition, the only ones who can be called your war potential seem to be Lime-san and the prince.”

“U-Uhhhh …….”

Then Fath-san announced in a follow-up.

“Even though he is a prince, he doesn’t have a country now, so he is just like any other person. It doesn’t matter if you’re a bit far away.”

“I, guess so …… I’m sorry, Lime, but would you mind having Tigre-san train you? I’d like you to train me too if you can ……”

“Prince ……”

When Prince Ryde told Rhyme, Prince Orden shrugged his shoulders and interrupted him.

If Prince Ryde is caught, he’ll be used as a trump card by the other side, so I think he should come with me to the castle, though?”

“Since the plan calls for me to go nearby to persuade them, I thought I’d take care of myself.”

“It’s not safe for you to be in the town of Gust …… Oh, that’s right! Why don’t you have our knights train you? Teacher is amazing, but they won’t lose to him.”

Prince Orden suggested a number of things to help Prince Ryde, who was of the same status as him, and in the end, Lime will train for several hours a day with Tigre-sensei in the town of Gust. Prince Ryde was to be trained in the castle.

“All right, then, let’s train hard for the next six days until the townspeople arrive.”

“Oh!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s do our best!”

Prince Ryde replied to Ryuuze, Makina, and Urka, raising the tension in the air.

“What about us? Should we do something?”

“Hmm? No, you can just wait quietly. If you are bored, you can call Nora and play in the monsters’ garden.”

“Really!? Yay, I’ll go call Nora-chan!”

“I’m glad you’re feeling better, Trim. I want to go too!”

“She’s Nora-chan from Aina’s house!”

When Trim got on Schneider’s back and raised his hands in joy, Tilia-chan agreed, and Aina insisted mysteriously.

“I’ll tell Nora when we get back. Aina, listen to what your brother says and be a good girl, okay?”

“Yes! Good luck with your work, Dad!”

“Yeah ……”

I laughed at my Dad as carried Aina in his arms, smiling. Aina is all over me, and my dad is too busy with work to give her much attention, so he seems happy.

After that exchange, Makina and Ryuuze fought each other, Ryuuze and I had a battle of strength without magic, and Tigre-sensei and Fath-san gave us verbal lectures.

Ryuuze’s sword swing was not like a greatsword, as he had been taught by Tigre-sensei. In addition to that, since it was a Sarge weapon, so it could be used as a shield, and he was able to respond flexibly. He also has the magic sword, so he’s an opponent you can’t let your guard down against.

So I prepared lunch for Ryuuze and Verna-sensei too, and I was glad to see that Lime had regained her energy with the fried chicken.

Then Prince Ryde went to the castle with Prince Orden, and after dropping them off, Dad, Tigre-sensei, Ryuuze and Lime returned to the town of Gust.

“I’ll come again. At that time, please have a fight with me again, Fath-san!”

Umu. Bring the girl called Naru too.”

“Oh! See you later, Lars and Makina. Lars, Makina. Urka, give my regards to Helena and Milfy-chan!”

“S-Shut up …… go home already!”

The house that had been so noisy suddenly became quiet, and as I wondered what to do now…

“Hi!”

“Hello!”

“Lars-kun, is Makina-chan there? Oh, it’s Ash!”

Luciel and the others arrived at the same time. Nora is there too, probably at the behest of Dad.

So I have to deal with girls now …… I invited them into the house, thinking that I would like to leave it to Makina and Fath-san.

The day passed quickly, and I was leading the residents of the town of Gust to begin moving into temporary housing.
