Eternal Log

Today is the Martial Arts Games Awards Ceremony.

I'm heading to the venue as usual.

Or because the venue is a castle, there is no movement.

Sounds like an immediate award from the king, but well, I'm not nervous when I say king because he's Roy's father.

After the awards ceremony, they have a revelation for everyone from the balcony of the castle.

I'm more nervous over here.

"Yo! Did you get some rest yesterday?

It was Mr. Louise who appeared out of nowhere and came calling.

"Thanks to you. I used a lot of weird ideas, so I slept well."

I was a little sarcastic about Shirley.

"You two, get ready, please."

A guide soldier shows up and calls us both.

"That was bad! Let's go, then!

I knew he was a my-paced person.

But you're superb.

With that in mind, I arrived at the entrance to the Throne Room.

Heavy doors are blocked in front of us.

"Please be free of coarse phases"

A guide soldier tells us to back off.

He said, "I know!

... Is this guy going to be okay?

Then the door in front of me opened.

On the left and right are the knights lined up and on the front is Roy's father, the king.

We move to the center of the throne room and stop.

"Louise, winner of the Fighting Games. Your Majesty showed the winners of the martial arts tournament a shameless battle. So I reward you, what's good?

Roy's father was in king mode and told that to Mr. Louise.

"I don't want a reward. Instead, I'd like permission to stay for a while and permission to enter and leave the castle."

"Fine. Stay as long as you like."

"Thank you."

Mr. Louise felt like messing with something, but he did it without difficulty.

Permission to stay means you'll be training us for a while?

Well, I guess you were allowed in and out of the castle because it's Mr. Louise.

"The tournament semi-winner, Hal. You also showed me the match you deserved for the finals. So reward me, what's good?"

What's good... I didn't want anything, I just wanted to fight... right!

"I wish I could use the arena as long as I'm there."

"Fine. Use it thoroughly."

"Thank you."

I always thought that Roy's father could be turned on and off. It's amazing how far he'll be like someone else.

Well, it's an eye-catching crush as usual.

But the arena is now available, and you can train closer to practice.

I won't die in case there is.

"Then it is good for both of us to show that bravery to all of the people"

That's what they said, and me and Mr. Louise went out on the balcony of the castle.

Then people fill the square, and note that the sight of people overflowing.

I'm so distracted by the sight.

"Hey, Hal. These people are all living like this thanks to you for defeating the dragon. We were all helped by the power of justice that you were. But if you don't have the strength, there's no one here. Powerless justice is powerless. On the contrary, power without justice will not save people. So we have the power to think about what's right and to do justice, we have to keep working out."

Mr. Louise's words pierce my chest.

Power drops people into fear if it's used in the wrong way.

And when it comes to protecting your loved ones, it's powerless without power.

So you have to work out and keep thinking about what's right.

Mr. Louise thought so, Chara, but actually -...

"Whoa! That kid's adorable!

... I knew it was challenging.

Mr. Louise, I'm picking cute kids out of the people I can see from the balcony.

Someone I don't understand.

Anyway, well, I'm gonna have to work on my training again from now on.

"Hal, which one's the type, that kid or this one?

... Will it be all right at this rate?
