Me and Celia's brother Celik, at the suggestion of Captain Zagil of the Fifth Squad, were set to play the game.

"Well, if you decide so, I'll go ahead with the process"

Captain Zagil tells us he's going to play the game tomorrow, and that's what he's going to say.

Me and Selik, left behind, stared at each other.

"By tomorrow, you'll be ready. If you lose in front of me, Celia will change her mind too..."

"... No, I'm the one who wins. And I'll have you admit it, too. That Celia didn't make the wrong decision..."

"Master... brother..."

That's what I say back to Celia's provocation.

To my word, Celia distorts the edge of her mouth.

"Huh! Interesting. So, shall we bet? In case I lose, Celia will admit to mentoring you. If I win, you'll never get involved with Celia again. That's it, right?

"Oh, no!

"... oh, I don't mind"

"Master!? To such a suggestion..."

Selik's suggestion made our game easier to understand.

If I win, Celia stays a disciple, if Celik wins, Celia stops being a disciple. It's easy.

Celia seems in a hurry, but if you win this battle, it'll all go back to normal. So, one thing settled.

"Hmm! Enjoy your fake mentorship while you're at it..."

At the end of the day, he throws up such a throwaway dialogue, and Selik leaves.

Here, I finally turned around.

I'm worried about Dion being blown away by Selik.

"Dion!"

"... Slade, you've shown me something awkward..."

"No, if you're safe, you're fine."

Dion was slightly distorted in the face but seems to be doing less damage.

Either that or he seemed to regret falling without being able to resist.

Apparently, Dion is going to be okay.

Then you're the other one.

"Master..."

"Celia......"

Celia looks at this one with an anxious face.

You must have been listening to me and Selik. But don't worry.

"No problem, just win. I... trust me."

"... Master"

"Your master will show your brother that he's not so weak."

"... Yes! Master can't lose, can he?! I was feeling weak."

Yeah, all I have to do is win. That way, it's all working out.

"Damn... what a decision."

"Sona, I'm sorry..."

Saying that, Sona holds her head and squeals like that.

I did something bad to the deputy captain's girlfriend because I did something on my own.

"... you and Dion are on your own, but Captain Zagil Fifth is a mess too. I can't believe we let the Knights fight each other..."

Sona seems the angriest about Captain Zagil V.

But I'm rather grateful. If you hadn't stopped me over there, it would have been a lot easier.

And he offered me the easiest way to understand. There's no way I'm going to get angry at that person.

Anyway, you should report this to Captain Faraes properly.

"Huh?"

"Which way are we going to find out, so you can't hide it?

"To Faraes..."

Think about it, you're a little scared.

Wouldn't our captain be very angry for a moment?

"You're all right, aren't you?

"I don't know."

"... Ugh!

Celia opened her mouth as I looked anxious.

"Master! I'm fine! If anything happens, it's on me!

Celia seems to be trying to reassure me. That concern is greatly appreciated. But I can't accept the suggestions I've spoken of.

"No, you can't do that. I can't even dress up as a master to hold my disciples accountable."

"Shit, Master..."

At times like this, if you didn't dress up, your master would disqualify you. Celia was impressed by what I said when I let her go.

He is a lovely disciple made of man. You can't take this apprentice.

"Slade, anyway, you should go home once. You must still be tired of your mission. Better get some rest and get ready for tomorrow."

"Oh, Dion. You stay calm, too."

"Of course."

That's where Dion cares about me.

It's a good time for Selik, he's a good guy too.

"... Then let's go, Master. Excuse me, both of you."

"Oh, bye, both of you"

So, with a little anxiety, Celia and I went home.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia called Faraes to talk to me as soon as we got home.

"I see..."

This is Faraes' first voice after listening to him.

I can't tell if you're angry or frightened.

"Oh my God you did... and I feel like getting mad..."

"Ooh..."

"It's my day off, so let's not talk about knighthood"

I don't know, but he won't be mad at me anyway.

"I don't think what Slade did was a bad idea."

"Faraes......"

Faraes looked at me and smiled.

On second thought, Faraes is the person who was holding Celia's disciple back.

There's no way that person thinks so much about his brother.

"Well..."

So Faraes stared at Celia.

"Celia... are you okay?

"Huh? Oh, yes. It's okay."

"After all, you weren't doing well with your brother..."

Faraes makes me look sad when I say that.

Apparently, she had some understanding of Celia's relationship with her brother.

"When you came to this house, you said your brother was against it."

"Yes, I didn't tell you why, but you seemed to know that I wanted to escape the tradition of home..."

"... is Celia's home in this town?

"Yes, I lived with my brother and my parents."

In retrospect, I don't know Celia very well.

Of course, I know what kind of person you are. But I never heard of what house you grew up in and how you walked this far.

Maybe that was because I couldn't talk about it myself. But now I think I need to know about Celia.

"Celia, you... you weren't doing well with your family?

"Oh, no... with my parents, I think we're good friends. Even when I wanted to go to Captain Faraes' house, he told me to do so because it would be a good study."

I see, I mean, the only thing that's not working out with Celia is her brother Celik? Then why is Selik so adamant about Celia?

"My brother and I... I don't think we're doing well. I don't know why, but for your brother, the sword moves in the house seem very important..."

"Home sword moves..."

You mean you don't like Celia trying to throw that away because she's obsessed with the sword moves of the house? Somehow, don't feel like your heart is narrow.

"... I hope your brother and I can get along..."

"Celia......"

Celia looks sad when she says that. The truth is, you want to get along with your brother. I don't know if I can do that. All I can do is fight.

"... anyway, if Slade defeats Celia's brother, that means it will fit round this time. Good luck, Slade."

"... oh, of course"

This conversation ended because Faraes summed up the occasion.
