A lot of shoe backs were tapping on the cobblestone. A lively conversation that flows constantly. That struck me in the ear like a scowl.

people going to and from each destination.

In the meantime, I was walking nervously. Points out the senses and takes care not to take away any slight discomfort.

The next day. I was accompanying the Knights on patrol.

There's only one reason. To make contact with someone who's after me.

They want my place over there.

If so, you should go out here and do it.

I will not harm my daughters.

"Father. Be careful. The opponent is quite hand-worked. Honestly, he was the best sword user among the people who came to King's Capital and met him."

Let Elsa, the Knights Leader and S-Rank Adventurer, say so. How vigilant. It wouldn't mean too much.

"I didn't know there was a guy in King's Capital who could beat Elsa from the front."

Elsa is unmistakably strong.

He is a swordsman enough to contend for one or two in this king's capital. That's why I have my current status. Failure to do so would be considerable.

As an enemy, it's no trouble.

"But when it comes to dealing with me and Elsa, it'll be tough."

Elsa bought the offer and left when I offered to accompany her on the patrol. He said he was really worried about me.

The other knights didn't want to be involved in this matter.

Says...

"There's no way we can do this to someone that Captain Elsa couldn't win."

"It's only a matter of legs and legs about Lord Kaisel."

"I'm simply scared. I don't want to die."

Apparently.

As for the last guy, what happened to the Knights spirit? I don't even think about it. Well, I'm not willing to involve them irrelevant.

"Elsa, can I ask you again for the characteristics of the raider you taught me yesterday"

Elsa nodded and opened her body mouth.

"The raider was characterized by bloody deep red hair and a sword that was as long as a person's back. She had a swordswallowing vibe."

"Uhm......" I hold back to my thoughts as I stroke my jaw.

"Father? What is it?

"No, I think I remember what Elsa said about the Raiders."

"Do you have any idea?

"I don't know. It could be a mistake. But..."

The characteristics of the person Elsa was talking about match.

That said, it's in my memory, eighteen years ago, in her features. So it can also be fully possible that he was as if he were another person.

"Was that person hostile to your father?

"Right. I wasn't hostile...... I think" the end of the phrase got weaker. "He was one of mine."

"What? Are you one of them?

"Oh. I think I told Elsa, too, that I used to be an adventurer. It was one of those parties we were having at that time."

"Father was having a party, wasn't he? Heh heh. I'm a little glad you found out what my uncle looks like."

Elsa tipped her neck in surprise after saying so.

"But for one thing, why did your former companion attack us?

"I don't know. I don't even know if it's him in the first place. There's only one thing I can say."

and entered the alley from the street when he spoke.

The crowd scratches off at once. The rain on the back of the cobblestone tapping shoe stops and the noise subsides. I feel signs outside of me and Elsa in silence.

"What can you say?" It was the moment Elsa urged me to go ahead.

Atmospheric flow distorted.

As soon as I felt the wind on my skin, I was jumping.

When he holds Elsa's body, he falls to the ground in the alley.

The next moment, a huge chunk of wind pressure ran through where we were until a few moments ago. It penetrated deeply the stone wall, which was in a straight line.

"Become...!?

Elsa rang a trumpet from her throat.

She looks at the deeply worn stone walls and blues.

Had I been a little more delayed in dodging, there would have been a hole in my body.

"... Hmm. Did you read the warning signs of an attack with a slight atmospheric disturbance? But I did it on purpose."

An invincible tone echoes from the entrance of the alley.

I stay down on the ground, face up and look at you. In a dim alley, the light slipping out of the street sears her silhouette out under the daylight.

Burning deep red hair.

A hard tied look without shards of love.

Cut-off eyes dwelling in the light of strong will.

The skin peeking through the armor is stiff and tight, and traces of workout can be seen.

A sword that has as much back length as it bears on his shoulder.

Definitely...

You mean you tried me?

and whine, seeping bitter laughter into his mouth.

"... it's been a long time since we've seen each other again, but it's been rough. What would you have done if I hadn't?

"It's not worth a reunion, such as you, who can't attack this much. Then you can have a wind hole in your earthen belly and scatter it well."

She says things that are noisy without any hesitation.

That's not unlike her in my memory eighteen years ago.

"But you foresaw my attack.... I thought I'd lost my temper with my child, but I don't think I've neglected the minimum workout."

A look that everyone would see as an iron mask, but I can tell by the long and painful time we've had together. She had a satisfying look on her face.

Yes. She always was.

Are they stronger or weaker than you? I'm only interested in fighting.

"Haven't we seen each other like this in eighteen years?

I said.

"You're no different - Regina"

The moment I called her name, I felt comfortable taking the rust out of my mouth.

"... Hmm. You've changed, Kaisel."

Eighteen years ago, a fellow adventurer who was partying with me in this king's capital - that's what Regina told me to throw up.
