35 – Dinner Party Couple

“…… It’s okay.”

Selene let out a light moan.

Looks like she’s wearing a dress for a dinner party. It is a sky blue dress with a plentiful skirt.

I have no intention of sparring.

It is me, Sias, and a man named Mars who are wearing sparring outfits here.

A man named Mars doesn’t seem very strong, so I’m not very interested. In other words, Shias is the only sparring opponent… If I can’t get excited, I’m worried about sparring with Rose. He looked stronger than Sias.

“Come to think of it, Miss Selene and Moonlight often stick together.”

Sias said as if it was new.

Are you talking about the tournament? I was in debt, so I just gave you advice. I thought as I carefully chewed the chicken breast salad.

Selene frowned at her, her face even redder than before.

“Ugh… She’s got a lot of advice, yes! She is that… Because this is a sign of s*x!”

Selene screamed as if to hide her feelings and looked at me.

A bizarre expression that doesn’t know whether it’s crying or laughing.

Selene hardened her face as if she had made up her mind and put her hand in front of her, which was behind her back.

In her hand, Selene was holding a sky-blue gift wrapped.

“Take it!”

“What is this?”

“Handkerchief… hey Herb-scented magic. They say it’s good for meditation.”

It’s a handkerchief. Not a particularly exciting gift, but herbs are fine.

Herbs are good blades of grass that relax the body and mind. When I lived in the mountains, I used to sleep where there were a lot of herbs. Selene is said to be good for meditation, but I meditate under the curse of evil spirits these days.

Should I use it while sleeping? A peaceful night’s sleep is important in practice.

“Okay.”

I received a gift from Selene. Not knowing if I would receive it, her Selene’s eyes widened like rabbits.

Selene soon turns into a happy expression.

I tucked a handkerchief into the inside pocket of my leather suit. Sias, who was staring at me and Selene, spat out a word.

“Would you like me to step aside?”

“I’ll only eat these and fight with you, so stay here.”

Where do you want to go? It takes time to find it, so it’s true that Shias is right in front of me.

Sias had a confused expression and Selene looked satisfied.

Selene’s skin color returns to normal.

Sias smiled.

“He’s really interested in swords.”

Of course.

Since I entered the mountain, I have lived only by looking at the sword.

“Do you have a teacher? If you’re famous, I’d know.”

There is no such thing as a teacher.

I only perfected the sword by self-study.

I shook my head. Shias with an expression of surprise. Selene helped from the side.

“Then did you study on your own?”

“Yes.”

“Awesome. I had several swordsman instructors.”

Selene spoke of her self and her experience.

Nobles have several teachers for their children. To make child education more efficient.

“Wasn’t it difficult?”

“I just repeat every day. Sometimes I wonder if the direction of my training is right. If you do this, you will get used to it.”

“I see. Moonlight looks like someone who lived in some mountain.”

Selene said with a light smile.

You’re smart about this. I looked away as I put the juicy fruit in my mouth. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a conversation with someone while eating, and I’m not used to it.

“Still, there are lessons to be learned. I have to work hard every day too. Actually, I didn’t practice today because of the dinner party.”

“Swing your sword after the dinner party.”

“Uh… today? Oh, I see.”

Selene, who spoke in a playful way, seemed to be surprised by my words, and her expression changed strangely.

It is a waste to skip even one day of training. What is important is consistency. Skipping training with plausible excuses makes it easy for people to fall into indolence.

“I… Moonlight, where do you live…… ….”

“Are you Moonlight?”

A man’s voice cuts off Selene’s words and enters.

A gray-haired man with a plate approached me.

‘My name was Izan.’

Izan, the wandering swordsman.

It was definitely called that at the Central Congress of Humbaba. It was one of the 4 that I had my eye on. He bowed her head to Selene and glared at me.

“Sorry for coming over while you were talking, Lady Gramberge.”

“…… Are you okay.”

For some reason, Selene is looking at Izan coldly. I met her eyes with Izan.

At an aspiring level, it’s a decent level.

There are many small and large scars on her face. Does the fact that you’re glaring at me mean sparring?

“Are you going to fight?”

“Ha… It’s good that you speak fast. I’m trying to find out if you’re the last to come and have a good corner…… !”

“If you only eat two melons, the meal is over, so wait. Eat this and deal with it.”

I cut Izan off. Useless talk is a no-brainer. Unlike Selene, she has no debt to this guy.

Sias came over and put a hand on Izan’s shoulder.

“Wait a little bit? Izan, my turn is far away.”

“Kuh…… Sias, why the hell did you send a challenge to a guy like this over me!”

“That’s because I think Moonlight would be more fun than you. Haven’t you already fought a lot?”

The two knew each other.

At this time, aspiring knights competed in various competitions, and only those who reached the top ranks. So it’s not strange if people in the upper ranks know each other.

I swallowed the last piece of melon down my throat and declared to the two of them.

“Just go for them both.”

“You are more cocky than I thought. Do you want to be destroyed right away?”

“Moonlight, no matter how much I do, my pride won’t allow it.”

Those who strongly oppose.

Do weak guys have pride?

There is no doubt that it will be boring if you deal with each other individually, but Sias is a polite friend in his own right.

Inject greed.

“When Shias is over, I will deal with you.”

I gave a thoughtful glance to Rose. It means to start fighting. Rose, acting as an attendant at Cornelia’s side, nodded.

And then, after looking over the crowd, he declared.

“There will be a special sparring from now on! Those who want to eat can stay in the restaurant, and those who want to see can follow.”

“Moonlight! This guy named Izan, leave the mess alone.”

Selene pretended to flick her fists, she said to me.

I answered while following Rose, who was leading the way.

“Did you have a grudge with Izan?”

“Oh, no, it’s not like that… That guy, before you came, he talked about you.”

Gossip is something I hear all the time at the academy, so there’s nothing special about it.

Wouldn’t it be a waste of time to react to such things one by one?

Rose soon led us to the parade ground outside. On a flat surface, free of obstacles. It’s a perfect place for a one-on-one fight.

“Hiya, that Lord Shias and the moonlight showdown. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Sir Sias’ spearmanship.”

Princess Seri 1 follows her with an expectant look on her face. Was she a member of the royal family of Bad Tibira?

When I descended from the mountain, Badtivira was no longer a country. Apparently, they were destroyed by heretical nations.

It is a small country in the west.

Is there anything I can do in this lifetime?

As I was thinking, the guards handed over the weapons they confiscated from me.

I returned my weapon at the entrance and entered the princess’s palace. The basic law when entering the imperial palace. Sias also smiled as he received the spear.

“Wolgwang, it’s no fun if we just fight, so should we bet?”

A very uplifting comment. The spectators cheered wildly.

Those who would stay at the dinner party were told to stay, but all the quarterfinalists came to watch. Still, they were born aspiring knights, so it’s nice to see them more interested in sparring than eating.

I replied, strapping the iron sword to my waist.

“Tell me.”

“If you win, I will grant you one wish. But if I win, why don’t you take off your helmet?”

Are you trying to reveal my bare face?

There is nothing that cannot be accepted.

I can’t lose.

“Good. However, the conditions do not change. I don’t need a reward when I win. Instead, unfold your mental world.”

“Funny. You mean show me my strength?”

“Yes.”

After returning, I was only able to see the image world of demons.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could see the world of images implemented in reality?

A big smile bloomed on Sias’ face.

“Okay, I will.”

Me and Shias confronted each other.

Selene, who has fallen away from me, is fighting with Jeanne. Jeanne, who keeps adjusting her sleeves to see if her dress is awkward, finds Selene and raises her twin wick. Selene crossed her arms and said something, then she met her eyes with mine and she reddened her face again.

Selene cleared her throat and raised her hands to show her fists clenched. Looks like cheering. She said if she didn’t bother.

I turned my head.

“I made you wait.”

“No, I didn’t wait too long. Shall we begin now?”

“Yes.”

“Should I bow to the princess first? Because you made this place.”

Sias leaned over to Cornelia and said. If the imperial family is nearby, the priority of etiquette belongs to the imperial family. I nodded her head and looked at Cornelia.

Cornelia has a somewhat complex expression. She was staring at Selene, then turned to me as I turned her around.

Cornelia corrected her complexion and uttered a clear voice.

“Two minutes… Are you ready?”

“Yes, lower.”

“Yes.”

Participants made strange faces at my use of short language.

Participants surrounding me and Sias in a circle.

Cornelia defended me.

“As I say here, Moonlight Ball deserves to be comfortable with me. I hope there will be no back talk.”

The way you look at me changes completely.

Usually the eyes of exploration.

Cornelia opened her mouth once more.

“Rose.”

“Yes, degradation. The method of sparring is the same as normal. You can make your opponent incapacitate or forfeit. A healer is on standby, so don’t worry about serious injuries. Lord Sias, Lord Moonlight. Are you both ready?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Rose gave me and Sias a glance, then bowed her head.

“Start now.”

As soon as Rose finished speaking, Shias aimed her spear at me.

The type of spear is a spear, a popular spear capable of stabbing as well as slashing from side to side.

I slowly drew the iron sword.

I plan to use the same method that was used in the Humbaba Central Conference.

The way to improve by looking at the opponent’s attack method.

Sias glared at me as he slowly raised his mana.

Tsu tsu tsu… ….

The magical power that builds up on the blade.

“I hope it doesn’t end soon.”

Sias spoke quietly and stretched out his spear at me.

The blade of a spear that hurts me.

‘This is what I want to say.’

I dodged lightly and hit the spear.

Chang!

The spear of Shias bouncing out. Sias returned his spear inward, flexing his shoulder muscles.

The stab was for exploration. I evade the spear aiming at my neck by leaning back.

“How flexible is that?”

Sias laughed ferociously and continued to attack. The spear of Sias is trying to cut through my body like a sword.

A spearmanship that combines spear stabbing and sword slashing.

This is my impression of Sias’ spearmanship.

I haven’t entered the arms of Sias yet. He has his legs tense, ready to back off at any moment I approach. It’s definitely not a bad response, but this alone isn’t fun.

Chang!

I slashed Shias’s spear once more and ran forward while pushing the spear with the blade.

Kigigigigigg!

The spearhead is sharpened by the blade and cannot find its proper place.

“…… !”

Sias tries to retrieve the spear, but to no avail. Because the spearhead was already pushed out of my power. I quickly approached Sias and put the knife to his chest.

“Expand the world of images.”
