Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

I set up my sword and stood before Illis.

Two in the rear, one in the front, the other in the distance - to see how Aria is doing, she's not in the fight.

(Has persuasion worked, or...)

Send your gaze to the squirrel behind you.

Ilis quickly stood up and faced the two rears.

"Doctor, Cufilio Notoria is that child"

"! You weren't the man in the white over there."

"Hey, nice to meet you. Alta Schweiz"

Kufilio, a boy who shows a bare gesture like a gentle greeting.

I can still see room for that - I guess he would have been better placed to see the signs of battle, even if he had decently interacted with Iris.

"You know me."

"I've been doing a lot of research. No way, a handful like you could be in this country... honestly, it was unexpected. I thought the kingdom was not our enemy."

"Looks like I can afford it. No, is that why you can afford it?

"Sort of. But it's true that your presence made the assassination of Ayna Bodle difficult. Looks like Ayna herself was gonna lure us out, huh?

Turn your gaze a little further away from Kufilio.

Waiting there are Aena and Merche - Aena was trying to come to this side too, but I stopped. You don't have to bother putting her targeted at the center of enemy power.

"You're on this invitation, and honestly, I'm helping."

"Haha, you say. I think I'll get along with you."

"I don't know. I don't think I'm going to get along with you, Mr. Iris, but get down."

"... Huh!

It was Alta who moved on first.

Blade of wind toward the two rear - releasing Invisible.

An invisible wind sword attack, but the two assassins jumped backwards as if they were visible.

The movement avoided at the critical point is very similar to that of Aria.

Kufilio in front of me also looks just like Aria.

(Sounds like what Mr. Merche said is true.)

- According to what I've heard, all the humans who belong to The Shadow Apostle are connected with blood.

It's not an exaggeration or anything, it means they're family.

... even if it was made.

"That's fast. It's like Kensei."

That's what Cuffilio says, and he comes running towards me.

Even if you look at my swordsmanship, it's still going straight ahead that gives you a glimpse of his absolute confidence in combat. Shortcuts are the ones I'm setting up. The score is short, swinging fast.

My sword and Cuffilio's knife have been exchanged - if they are imparting a magical effect, my "Bikaa Sword" will produce a "Poison" that kills that effect.

First, we'll fight each other in a row. The rubbing sound of a bumped sword and a dagger rang, and I lowered back as I supported Illis' body.

"Oh, let me, Doctor...!? Because I'm fine! Because I'm not injured!

"Oh, did I? Because I didn't have enough time to watch Mr. Iris' condition."

Ilis gives a slightly surprised look.

Kufilio is never using his hands. - It was just a pure slash, and you met me on an equal footing.

"Huh, I knew we were going to get along. Your sword is really like a sword saint."

"That's the way you know it."

"Oh, even if I knew. I know at least a man named Raul Isarf."

- That's not just a hearsay.

That's the kind of language I've seen before.

Of course, my memory doesn't show Kufilio… I don't remember everything about the person I've fought for, but at least with all this strength, you do.

Even if he looked different.

(The use of this short knife is the same as that of Aria. At least, I don't know an organization called The Shadow Apostle, and I've never fought. If it's possible, I guess it means I saw it on the battlefield. Well, this cufilio is probably......)

When I lower Illis, I kick the ground and pack the distance from Kufilio. Again, the slashing with swords and daggers began.

Three strikes first. I roll out towards Cuffilio.

Avoid the first shot. Cut off the second shot, and the third one counters to my sword.

I deflect myself. [M] Keep going, wave your left hand and release Invisible. Kufilio also uses a short knife to prevent invisible, high-speed blades.

Another serial strike. In the slashing, I saw Kufirio smiling.

(I see, you're definitely strong. Strong, but I'm not gonna lose.)

Understand in the meeting. Kufilio will also be aware of it.

There's something about his high physical abilities and reactions that keeps an eye on him, but he's only able to prevent and deflect my sword moves.

On the other hand, Kufilio's short sword is certainly fast, but it doesn't take my life.

One blow to the other - a short knife blushes my cheek slightly, and a blow by my sword enters Kufilio's shoulder.

Blood broke out of the universe.

"Dad!"

It was the younger of the two who were waiting, who shouted like upset. I was just trying to make a move,

"Don't move, it's me and Alta."

Yes, Cuffilio stops it by saying it off.

After all, it seemed to me that Kufilio's instructions were to keep the two of them from moving.

"Don't we all have to come?

"We have to get the two of you to take Iris into custody."

As Cufilio put it, Illis has already rebuilt his posture to face the two assassins.

I fight Kufilio - there's another person I care about.... of white, it's a man.

Turn a blind eye, but the man was calmly showing the situation.

(... At first glance, they don't seem to be more capable of fighting than the other three. Besides, he's not the only one who looks like Aria)

He acts with The Shadow Apostle, but only the man looked heterogeneous in this situation.

According to the information I received from Merche, Cufilio Notoria is the boss that binds the organization, and the child in front of me will be the apex of the organization.

... but it's strange to be a child in the first place.

I can tell if the Rebirth event is happening to him as well as I do, but then he shouldn't have looked the same as Notria.

"Oh, do you care about that guy? Then you don't seem to understand everything."

"Everything?"

"Oh, my origin. Apparently, our information leaked from another 'Nortria'.... It's really full of defects."

"Another Nortria...... I see. Your words made me understand a lot."

"Wouldn't that be funny?

That's not funny at all.

When this happens, it's Aria who's the problem.

For her, it means they're a real family. At first, I've also come to understand the thought of Aria turning to the enemy side, but then it won't be all resolved unless Aria moves.

That's when the man I was watching opens his mouth.

"Hmm, looks like you're struggling, Kufilio"

"No need to step up."

"Naturally. Unlike you, I am weak. But I'm sure I understand the situation with you. As it is, we are defeated. So let's change the operation. Leave the two Norriers, we run away - now what do you say?

"... we might have to."

The two of you start talking about such operations in front of me for a long time.

Leaving the two of them - it was the two assassins who were across the street from Illis who made the move at the same time as the word.

Iris moves along with it, too, trying to stop the two of them.

But what inhibited it was Aria's thrown knife, which had stopped a little further away.

"... Aria!?

Suddenly Aria's behavior distracts Iris.

When the two assassins set me up to pinch me, each threw a knife to the left and right,

"Quadripartite Boundaries"

At the same time, the word is bound to cover me.

Cufilio and the man - and Aria's three - ran out of the spot when they saw me imprisoned in the junction.

"Aria!"

"... sorry, Illis. Doctor, you two... don't kill me."

Leaking such a pleading voice, Aria escapes the scene.

Iris looked right at me.

- I'm sorry, Doctor.

When I told him to just whine one word, Illis ran out of the spot.

It would be an apology to you for making the choice to go after Aria as it were, not my cover.

"Nothing, I don't need to apologize."

"... that's a lot to spare. Well, our purpose is only to stop you. Stay with me for a while."

"In the meantime, you think you're going to fight Mr. Ayna and the others?

"If it's coming over there, I will. But our role is to stop you. I don't care if I can."

In the voice of a young man and a girl, answer each one.

Removing both masks, what was there was a face similar to Aria's.

"- Stopping? Sure, maybe a few seconds."

"What!?

A young man gives a surprise look.

One or two blows couldn't destroy the junction.

Strongly constructed. But there is no such thing as cannot be destroyed if we repeat it.

Just a few shots were fired at the exact same spot, and the line that captured me was instantly shattered.

Immediately after birth, he releases Invisible.

The two assassins fell and fell on the spot.

"... don't kill me, huh? After all, is Mr. Aria after them?"

Looking at the two fallen, I'm finally certain.

There are two remaining enemies - Ilis chased them, Kufilio and the other man.
