Episode 53: Post-Match Questions

"Slade! Are you okay!?

"Master, are you okay!?

After the battle against the noir, Dion and Celia of Seconds give me that voice.

In the fight, I had almost been dismissed, but I only knew that the two of them were there for me. In this way, I can only thank the two of you, including for welcoming me.

"Thanks, but I'm fine. I didn't get any serious injuries this time."

"Well, good for you"

"My master is safe and above all!

Both Dion and Celia have a reassuring look at my words.

After all, they're both sweet.

"In the meantime, let's go inside. We can talk about it after that."

"Yeah, let's do that."

"Yes!"

That's what I said, I'm going back through the entrance.

Then I saw the two people I knew up front. It is Faraes and Sona.

They both seemed to come right over here after the game.

"Slade!"

When I was thinking about it, Sona was running.

I'm a party today, so I guess I was worried about a lot of things.

"Sona, as promised, you've won, haven't you?

"Yes, Slade, thank you so much..."

Sona has said that with tears in her eyes.

He seems happy, above all.

"Slade, you're safe, above all else."

I'm a little late from Sona, and Faraes says so.

Last game, I'm glad I didn't get too hurt this time because I've caused a lot of trouble.

"Oh, thank you, Faraes"

"But we're going to the infirmary."

"Oh, I know"

Of course, I'm gonna get to the infirmary right.

There is no trauma, but I don't know where the damage is. Just in case, you should leave it to the medical professionals.

Most importantly, I am so tired that I feel like resting.

"Well, let's get you to the infirmary..."

"Are you okay on your own?

"Oh, no problem"

This is how I headed to the holding room.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was walking down the hall after I left the infirmary.

to find a certain person. After walking for a while, the person could be discovered. In the meantime, let's try to speak up.

"Mr. Orfina"

"... Mr. Slade, long time no see"

The person is Mr. Orfina, Sona's sister.

She had something to ask you.

"It was a brilliant battle, congratulations"

"Thank you"

Mr. Orfina said that with a smile on his face.

But I don't think I'm feeling any better.

Mr. Orfina is the man on the side of Sona and Noir's marriage story. For that reason, you may not have to be happy with my victory.

But that's also one of the things I care about.

"Can I help you?

"Yeah, actually, I need to ask you something."

"Yes, what is it?

I wanted to ask Mr. Orfina something.

"What the hell were you thinking?

"What? What does that mean?

Mr. Orfina's attitude has been questioned for some time.

When we first met, it felt like we liked and couldn't wait to talk about Sona, but the next time we met, we were going pale about our marriage.

That's what got me caught up.

"I don't think you're the kind of person who goes along with Sona's marriage story."

……

"I can't believe that's what you're here for, Sona. You're not who you think you are, are you? So I was wondering what the hell you were thinking."

"Hehe..."

To my inquiry, Mr. Orfina laughs.

"It's gonna be you, maybe I can break it to you. Perhaps you know everything..."

That may have been a sign of giving up.

Apparently, Mr. Orfina tells me everything.

"Sure, I didn't come here to advance Sona's marriage story. Rather, vice versa."

"So you're saying, to stop Sona from talking about her marriage?

"Yes, after all, you knew"

After all, as I expected, that's what Mr. Orfina was after.

There's no way this guy, who loves Sona, can move on with an unwanted engagement.

"I mean, is that okay with you letting me and Noir fight each other from the start and trying to destroy our engagement?

"Yeah, that's right. I had to get a suggestion from Mr. Noir to withdraw my engagement, so I let him direct me a little..."

Mr. Orfina seemed to be in a lot of trouble to make his own operation a success. But there must have been a problem there.

"If I lost, what were you going to do?

"At that time, until you think of another hand. I've got my hands full."

"I see..."

Mr. Orfina seemed to be planning things carefully.

This man's love for Sona does not seem to know it there.

"I apologize for using you. I'm sorry."

"No, I don't mind that"

"Really, as I was asking, you're a generous man"

I asked Mr. Orfina about this, not because I wanted him to apologize.

Because even if I knew everything, I did the same thing. This means that nothing changed.

"But there's only one thing I care about"

"What is it?

"Why didn't you tell Sona anything?

"Is that..."

Mr. Orfina's plan had not been told anything to Sona. Sona was usually worried and depressed, not the wind that knew the plan.

Why didn't Mr. Orfina let Sona know? That's what I'm worried about.

"What I'm doing is not something I've been praised for. That's why Sona couldn't have known."

"... so keep everything a secret from Sona..."

Indeed, what Mr Orfina is doing has not been very much praised.

I can also understand that you didn't want to tell Sona that.

But I have a problem that I'm not convinced of.

"So, even if you don't like yourself, do you mean okay?

"... Yes, it is"

That's the part I thought was the problem.

When we were talking about marriage, the sisters had a very bad vibe. Even then, Sona didn't go home, she stayed at our house. Even though the sisters are obstinate, it should not be an exaggeration.

That's what I didn't understand at all.

For Sona's sake, there's no good reason why Orfina, who does all this, would hate me from the person.

"I don't mind. If Sona's going to be happy, she can hate me."

"... that can't be good"

"Even Mr. Slade will have trouble if you don't convince him. If Sona gets told about this from your mouth, it doesn't make any sense."

"That's impossible..."

I immediately deny what Mr. Orfina said.

Because it's too late.

"Don't you? Sona!"

"... Yep"

When I call, Sona jumps out of the shadows.

"Sister..."
